The ''Earthworm Jim'' series first started when creator Doug TenNapel created a sketch of an earthworm when working with developer Shiny Entertainment on a prospective video game series. From that, grew a series of video games, and animated cartoon series, populated with many supporting characters. These are notable, recurring characters within the series. ==Earthworm Jim== Earthworm Jim is a video game character, the protagonist of the ''Earthworm Jim'' video games and animated series. For most of his life Jim was just an ordinary earthworm until one day his life was changed forever. A fearsome bounty hunter named Psy-Crow was en route to deliver the "Super Suit" (technically titled "Ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit") to Queen Slug-For-A-Butt but got in a confrontation with another space ship and lost the suit out of an airlock. The suit fell down to Earth, where Jim happened to crawl in and discovered newfound powers granted by the suit, mainly the strength and dexterity of a human. He resides in a home in the city of Terlawk, New Jersey (a play on Turlock, California, the birthplace of TenNapel) with Peter Puppy. Jim can be a bit naive and rarely thinks before rushing into battle, but on occasions can be very cunning. He has a rather large romantic infatuation with Princess What's-Her-Name, which usually confuses her in the cartoons, but he never falters in his resolve. Earthworm Jim was awarded Best New Character of 1994 by Electronic Gaming Monthly. Nintendo Power listed Jim as their 16th favorite hero, joking that he is a role model for invertebrates everywhere. In the games, Jim is voiced by creator Doug TenNapel and has a slight southern drawl. In the animated series, he is voiced by Dan Castellaneta (the actor best known for playing Homer Simpson on ''The Simpsons'') without the southern drawl. Jim's recurring catchphrase is an excited "Groovy!". The animated series gives him a second catchphrase however, screaming "Eat Dirt" followed by the present threat's name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Earthworm Jim characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
