- Animal Man is a superhero in the DC Universe and an animal elemental. He is a member of the Justice League of America. He first appeared in Strange Adventures #180(1965).
- The Animal Man was a bestial man who had the ability to speak to animals and to control them completely. He kept a variety of animals in his headquarters, including tigers, panthers, apes, elephants and snakes. He used these animals to murder hunters and others who he believed had sinned against animal-kind. For this he was confronted by the Black Hood. The Animal Man demonstrated considerable fighting skill, holding his own against the Black Hood. He also used a whip to give him an edge in combat.
- Bernard "Buddy" Baker is in reality a superhero by the name of Animal Man.
- Animal Man is published by DC Comics. Current price per issue is $2.99.
- Animal Man, Buddy Baker, is a superhero with identity issues. For some reason, he is connected to all animals and can use their abilities. This works very well when he is around cool animals, although his weaknesses include petting zoos and steakhouses. Having all of the characteristics of animals is not necessarily a good thing. He is basically millions of years of evolution gone completely down the tube. In addition, he also has an extremely short attention span. Later years would see him fall completely out of the public eye and retire to a life of quiet dignity. Ever since his wife Ellen insisted that the family get a dog, he has been largely complacent, and content to stay at home napping and catching frisbees in his mouth.
- Happy-go-lucky hero who can mimic the abilities of any animal on Earth and beyond. Origin The Man with Animal PowersBuddy was once a happy punk rocker, playing in a garage band, and trying to win the affections of his high school girlfriend, Ellen Frazier. One autumn afternoon he went hunting in the Adirondack Mountains. When he returned home, he had changed. Encountering some escaped animals from a nearby zoo, Buddy discovered that in the presence of an animal, he was able to absorb their abilities; the spring of a tiger, the strength of a Gorilla, or the power of an Elephant. During his first adventure Buddy was met by a large alien beast, presumably from the crash, but later discovered to be the envoy of the other aliens (important to Buddy later in his life) with similar powers to his.
- Buddy Baker was originally a teenage punk musician who was out hunting with his friends when an alien spacecraft crash-landed near him. The radiation from the spaceship affected the young man on a molecular level, granting him the ability to mimic animal biology.
- Buddy Baker, also known as Animal Man, was one of many Super Heroes created during the 1960s. He first appeared in Strange Adventures #180 (September, 1965). Created by writers France Herron and Dave Wood, and artist Carmine Infantino. The new character was about as fun and exciting as wet cardboard. He could take the abilities of any animal who was nearby and was granted this power by yellow aliens. He mainly used it to be a Flying Brick, though.
