Spotty

Origin

Spotty is SuperTed’s friend.

Creation

Spotty was created by Mike Young. Young originally created the SuperTed characters for his son, to soothe the boy at night because he was afraid of the dark.

Character Development

Spotty is an alien from the planet Spot, who finds SuperTed abandoned at the toy factory where he was made. He brings the bear back to life with cosmic dust, and takes him to see Mother Nature, who gives SuperTed special powers.

Major Story Arcs

Spotty does not appear in any major story arcs.

In Other Media

Spotty was also a character in the British animated show, which was originally made for the Welsh television channel S4C. The show was later dubbed into English, and went on to win several awards. A second series, The Further Adventures Of SuperTed was later produced by Hanna-Barbera, but this version of SuperTed was entirely different, with a complete change in cast and production staff. Spotty was the only original supporting character to remain in the second series.

Powers and Abilities

Like SuperTed, Spotty can fly.
