The Man-Woman is a person who can switch her gender on command. She gained the ability to transform her gender after being instructed to eat a mysterious flower by Shark. She is predominately seen in her female form but often turns male in situations where she is usually being flirted with, turning off anyone who was previously attracted to her. To change into her male appearance, she must shout "Man Power, Go!" before making the alteration. She must shout "Woman Power, On!" before swapping back to her female figure (or simply transforming with no words being said at all). She can also emit a loud ear-piercing air horn siren.
It can be assumed that she is unable to speak proper English, making her sentences short, choppy, and almost nonsensical. While she often speaks incoherently, her way of speech is not hard to understand, only switching, and re-using words in a sentence. A prime example of this would be her statement, "Stop your stop talk", taken from the episode "Adventure Mouse". She also works as a waitress at a generic restaurant, simply named "Diner".
In the third season, the Man-Woman is revealed to currently have the possession of the Box of Worlds.
Design[]
The Man-Woman is a crudely drawn man and woman. Her male form has brownish hair, two ears, small eyes, a nose, a mustache, two hands, which are a four-fingered hand and three-fingered hand, a pink shirt, dark blue pants and a pale shoe-like feet. Her woman form has brownish and white hair, one eye, a nose, pink lips, a neck, an arm with a four-fingered hand, which is mostly covered by a sleeve, a blue shirt, a purple skirt, a breast, two legs and pointy feet.
Relationships[]
Alliances & Friendships[]
She doesn't have that many alliances with the townspeople on a normal basis. Mouse, Skillet and the Eye are some exceptions, although she does still argue with them at times.
Enemies[]
She is quite front with most townsfolk, ordinarily telling off others who are interrupting others in her daily life. She regularly argues with characters such as Liquor and the Rectangular Businessman, who both dislike her, the square being more than the latter. She is shown to dislike the Human Cop in "Invictus" and when he interrogated her on the possession of the Box of Worlds in "You Made This". When Buzby found her to be attractive, she transformed into a man to turn off his attraction towards her.
Abilities[]
The Man-Woman's main ability is to transform into a different gender, which is either a man or woman, explaining the origin of both her name and appearance. The origin of the ability was explained in "Meaty Dreamy" as a flashback. She ate a mysterious flower in the Desert after Shark's face told her to eat it, making her transform into a man. In "Spharktasm", Skillet lays down some dead turkeys near her feet to disrupt her abilities, causing her to repeatedly switch between genders. She can also somehow emit a large screeching air-horn sound in some episodes, although it's unknown how she was able to produce the sound in the first place.
