Mortadelo, aka Mort, is a character created by the late Francisco Ibáñez Talavera in 1958 for the Spanish comic book series Mortadelo y Filemón, known in English as Mort and Phil.
He acts as a deuteragonist with his boss Filemón, or Phil. As influence of the war, both names evoked food; Mortadelo would be an echo of mortadella.
Over the years, Mortadelo has achieved greater popularity than his boss, to the point of giving title to the magazines Mortadelo (weekly) , Mortadelo Especial (fortnightly) and Super Mortadelo (monthly).[1], as well as the Mortadelo Dollars, which could be exchanged in different promotions.
In this he has had a lot to do his status as king of disguise, which allows him to transform (to everyone's amazement) in any animal, plant or object, from an elephant to a bell, to a cactus or a tile.
Personality[]
Mort is clumsy, and acts sometimes as the funny/comedic spy, or he sometimes confuses phrases or words. He holds a grudge against Dr. Bacterio for making him bald.
Skills[]
Mortadelo loves to wear costumes, having one for each situation, he also can shapeshifting and acquire the abilities of the costume he wears.
