[edit] Fictional biography
Barnacle Boy (actual name Kyle) is a 68-year old semi-retired superhero. His costume is a cross between the Silver Age Aqualad and Gilligan of Gilligan's Island. Mermaid Man, his mentor, treats him as if he were a young boy, in spite him being an adult. He often calls Mermaid Man an "old coot". In true sidekick fashion he takes the brunt of the physical comedy upon himself. He even became a villain briefly in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V, teaming up with Man Ray and the Dirty Bubble following a dispute about a pipsqueak patty (A very small version of a Krabby Patty intended for children) at the Krusty Krab. After a protracted fight--and a painful parody of the Justice League with the regular cast--he and Mermaid Man patched things up. Barnacle Man, as he likes to be called, gets a little more respect now (even though he can't finish an adult-sized Krabby Patty). He also has a nose similar to Squidward's.
[edit] Enemies
Barnacle Boy's enemies include Man Ray (who is an anthropomorphic manta ray, not famous photographer Man Ray), the Dirty Bubble, Prawn, The Jumbo Shrimp, Sinister Slug, the retired Atomic Flounder, Kelp Thing, and the Sneaky Hermit.
[edit] Powers
Barnacle Boy posses powers similar to Mermaid Man, such as the ability to summon creatures from the deep. Barnacle Boy also has sulfur vision (a sort of laser vision). Another one of his powers may be the ability to survive underwater, as he and Mermaid Man are both humans.
