Action Hank

"Sometimes pain can be a good thing!"

Action Hank is a television action hero in the animated series Dexter's Laboratory. He is a stereotypical blaxploitation protagonist and is essentially parodies of Chuck Norris, Mr. T, G.I. Joe, Shaft and Rambo all rolled into one. Along with Major Glory and Albert Einstein, he is idolized by Dexter. He has an impenetrable beard, which he uses to deflect various projectiles - bullets and knives, to name a few. The writing staff felt that including another hero-icon within the show might make them look better, so they made the character powerful and gave him a every action character stereotype known to man and thus; Action Hank was born.
