About Captain Underpants
Beginning as a comic book series created by a pair of fourth-grade boys, Captain Underpants was initially just pictures and words on a page. After accidentally being hypnotized, their grouchy school principal Mr. Krupp turns into comic book hero Captain Underpants whenever someone snaps their fingers. While he returns to his normal cantankerous self when getting wet with water, Mr. Krupp is unaware of his superhero identity.
Though in real life he seems to have a great dislike of children, Mr. Krupp is kind to everyone and is most understanding of children when he transforms into Captain Underpants. He is the principal’s alter-ego in every sense if the word. Captain Underpants doesn’t acquire true super powers until the third book. Up until that point, it was up to George and Harold to keep him safe when he was in superhero mode. The series ends with Mr. Krupp permanently losing his super powers, thereby eliminating Captain Underpants forever. However, there are still eleven great books to read.
