What do evil men fear? A dark knight? A spirit of vengeance? A gun toting maniac? Well, yeah sure, but if they're wise, they also fear the peppermint powerhouse, the caramel coated crusader, that taffy titan...Candyman!

Candyman is one of those heroes other heroes just...hate. He is quick with bad jokes and puns, doesn't have the patience for things like...procedure or chain of evidence or filling out police reports or any of that stuff. Candyman is in the hero business for the thrills and the girls...and the occasional free ice cream provided by a grateful citizen. In fact, Candyman would be something of a joke with his "sugar powers" if he wasn't actually effective.

While Candyman (secret identity: Vladislav Radkowsky) is flippant to an irritating degree, irresponsible in the extreme and maddeningly hyperactive, his powers make up for his personal shortcomings in the field.

He is strong (able to lift around 5 tons), fast, agile, highly resistant to harm (his body tends to smoosh, like warm taffy, then pop back into shape), able to scale sheer walls, can shoot out cables that look like licorice whips from his fingertips to swing or snare objects with and he can spray a rapid hardening "candy coating" on targets to disable them.

How did he get his powers? Well, he's claimed to have been bitten by a radioactive dentist, developed a super-gumdrop that bestows his powers on him for an hour...maybe two, pulled the chocolate bar free from the chunk of nougat proving that he is the rightwise heir to the sugarplum fairy. Occasionally he claims his parents were ambushed in an alley by a rogue vegan and force fed Kale and he swore vengeance upon the underworld for such a heinous act.

Yeah...Vlad would rather pitch some ridiculous story than give up his true origin and serious crime fighters Haaaaatttee him. They don't tell him though, because that simply makes him act more obnoxious.
