#48 Teapack Man

The tea party

Quirky and memorable speaks to most of the characters imported from the Kinnikuman universe to the North American markets by Mattel for their rebranded M.U.S.C.L.E. series. Often incorporating everyday things into creative exaggerated superheroes is a talent for the original duo creators of Yudetamago. At no exception is Teapack Man with a teacup head and his label emblazoned across his chest.

Representing Sri Lanka in the 21st Chojin Olympics in the tournament featuring the world’s strongest wrestling contenders. He definitely stands out with his unique head and fighting style relying on a huge tea bag attached to him as a projectile and whip style constricting weapon.

In one such bout with the cyborg combatant foe Warsman he’s defeated in a bizarre display where his head gets torn off and in a dramatic scene Warsman drinks the tea from it. However Teapack man survives and later participates in other story arcs including the True Devil Chojin and Omega Centauri’s Six Spears story arcs.

As one might expect he occasionally provides some comedic interruptions and background character roles being a secondary figure in the manga. While the children who would have played with his M.U.S.C.L.E. figure likely imagined their own techniques for his fighting style he did have a few signature moves. These conveniently center on his tea theme and tea-bag weapon with moves like the Boiling Tea Tactic, Deadly Tea Time, and the Tea Pack Whip being his primary technique swinging his tea pack forcefully to whip opponents.
