Super Grover

""Presenting the further adventures of everybody's favorite superhero, the man who is faster than lightning, stronger than steel, smarter than a speeding bullet...it's Super Grover!"

Super Grover is Grover as a superhero. His true identity in these sketches is Grover Kent, a doorknob salesman in Metro City. Super Grover uses his super powers to help others.

Super Grover's appearances usually involved him trying to help out somebody who is in trouble, usually by doing something ridiculous such as saying "Wubba, Wubba." Usually, the person who's in trouble solves the problem while he's not looking -- and Grover, oblivious, thinks that he has saved the day.

Grover has also appeared in the form of Super Grover outside of his sketches in many episodes, books, specials, videos, and in recent years as a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon. Super Grover appeared in Follow That Bird when Grover flys in search of Big Bird.

In one episode from Season 36, Super Grover opened his own superhero school. Super Grover was also the star of the What's the Name of That Song? DVD.

According to the Associate Press, writer Jerry Juhl originated the character of Super Grover.

On the show, Super Grover's attire consists of a cape, with ropes tied around Grover's wrists, a helmet, and a patch with the letter G on his chest. However, in most illustrations, his attire consists of a shirt with the letter G on it, shorts, a cape, and a helmet.
