Plusman[]
Plusman is the alter ego of X that may or may not be an allegory for a split personality. He’s created when X gets a concussion. He also has a high-pitched voice.
Plusman is mainly focused on the episode with the same name and only appears there. This makes him the second titular character, after Fred.
It’s unclear what was happening from X’s perspective at the time, as he forgot all about Plusman.
Appearance[]
His appearance is exactly the same as X, only his color scheme is orange and red, instead of yellow and blue. The color of his eyelids and eyebrows are unchanged for an unknown reason.
Trivia[]
- Notably X’s catchphrase, “X strikes again!” sounds more like something that a villain would say than a superhero.
- Even though X is a superhero, he is shown to praise W at the end of Web.
- A common running gag is that whenever X uses his x-ray vision, he scans to the right, middle, and left. He does it the other way in Plusman.
- Although not seen, X keeps bumping his head on the ceiling.
- Because he can fly and is incredibly strong, it’s ambiguous what effects gravity has on him if any.
- He might also be friends with F and S as they were having fun painting and flying together in the episode Dots.
- He is the first Learningblocks superhero, the second being Eight.
- As seen in Plusman, X has bananaphobia.
- In the phonetic alphabet he stands for X-ray, which may explain his signature power.
- X losing his memory of being Plusman may be a reference to cartoon characters hitting their heads and getting amnesia.
- X appears in quarter of the episodes. So does Y.
- He’s revealed to have an X Signal in Crossover.
- Although he isn’t in the episode, the intro to the Halloween special revealed that like R, he didn’t have a costume and just wore his usual accessories.
- Despite flying in all his major appearances, the fact that he can do so was only brought up twice.
- In Dots, where he is flying with F and S.
- On Facebook, where the crew brags about him.
- He is the only Alphablock who did not have a non-nonsense word starting with him, ever.
- He has overall 24 appearances. Coincidentally, X is the 24th letter of the alphabet.
