- “And now, it's time for the Adventures of Superdude!”
- ―The announcer at the beginning of every Superdude sketch
Superdude is a character played by Kenan Thompson during the first five seasons of All That. As the name and outfit suggest, he is a parody of DC Comics' Superman. He is the alter ego of Mark Cant (a spoof a Superman's secret identity, Clark Kent), who is also a student at Dulmont Junior High School. Superdude's one weakness is that he is lactose-intolerant, and thus is severely weakened by dairy products (a spoof on Superman's vulnerability to Kryptonite).
Each Superdude sketch begin with Mark and his girlfriend Penny Lane (a parody of Lois Lane; played by Angelique Bates in Seasons 1-2, Alisa Reyes in Season 3, Christy Knowings in Seasons 4-5, and Giovonnie Samuels in Season 7). Each sketch sees the two get harassed by bullies, which prompts Mark to run out of sight in order to transform into Superdude and get rid of the harassers. One of Superdude's dairy-themed villains would then show up and immobilize him with some sort of dairy product, but Superdude's friends would always come to his aid, allowing him to defeat the villain.
Enemies[]
- Milkman---Superdude's archenemy, played by Josh Server. He is always dressed in a 1950s-style milkman outfit (white long shirt and pants, and a milkman hat), and ofteng immediately disables Superdude, so he can begin his conquest of "bothering people all over the world". His schemes include: Transforming Superdude to a child; kidnapping Santa Claus and ruining Christmas; and flinging a gigantic scoop of ice cream at Superdude. Despite Milkman's attempts, there would always be someone around to come to Superdude's aid, allowing him to defeat Milkman.
- Butterboy---Milkman's "evil butter-in-law", played by Kel Mitchell, who attacks Superdude inside a movie theater. He is a villain composed entirely out of butter and angrily looks to settle the score with Superdude for imprisoning Milkman. After rubbing up against Superdude, temporarily disabling him, Superdude uses his heat vision to melt Butterboy and throw his head away.
- Yogurl---A female dairy-based super-villain, played by Kel Mitchell, made entirely out of yogurt. She attacks Superdude while inside a grocery store and flings her yogurt onto him. After being cleaned with a moist towelette, Superdude uses his freeze breath to freeze Yogurl and allow the store customers to enjoy some frozen yogurt.
- Superdude's Impostor---a little girl (Amanda Bynes) wearing Superdude's outfit enters a bank in order to rob it and pose as Superdude to commit crimes all over the world. Superdude catches her rather easily, but the inept bank customers could not tell them apart. One of the bank tellers produces a pitcher of milk in order to find out who the real Superdude is, and after Superdude himself is horribly damaged, the Impostor robs the bank, but stops to get her "free toaster". Superdude recovers and uses his "super butt" with a magnetic field to drag the toaster, and the Impostor, to him. The Impostor is then arrested by the police.
- Cowboy---In an old West-themed Superdude sketch, Cowboy (Kel Mitchell), a human cow, comes into the saloon where Superdude is and attacks him with his milk spraying udders. After recovering, Superdude retaliates and ties his udders in a knot, eventually causing Cowboy to explode.
- The Dairy Godfather---A spoof of Don Vito Corleone from The Godfather, the Dairy Godfather (Josh Server) kidnaps Penny Lane (Christy Knowings) in order to lure Superdude to his hideout. It works, and The Dairy Godfather splashes milk on Superdude, allowing him to tie the hero to a conveyor belt where he will eventually be sprayed with more milk, permanently de-powering him. Penny switches the belt off in time, however, which allows Superdude to get his super strength back and defeat The Dairy Godfather.
