Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies From Outer Space

Product Information

The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future (2010) (out of print as of March 2021) I have to say I loved their prank with the exploding cupcake mix (though do I want to know why the mix was green?). How those lunch ladies didn't notice the ingredients were a bit strange... oh well, if the food is really that terrible, I guess they wouldn't know a fake recipe from a real one.

Mr. Riles Rected – Mr. Rected is the guidance counselor at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School. He is very nasty to students, especially George and Harold, and he is often seen hanging with Mr. Krupp, Mr. Meaner, Miss Anthrope, and Ms. Ribble. His name is a pun on the word "misdirected." He is also voiced by Brian Posehn in the film and Jorge Diaz in the animated series. Something has changed about Mr. Krupp though because he drank the super-power juice, so now whenever he becomes Captain Underpants, he can fly and use other superpowers, thus making it harder for George and Harold to keep tabs on him (evident after a girl snaps her fingers in front of Mr. Krupp while she was listening to music). Instead of Harold and George looking out the window witnessing Captain Underpants running into the city, they are outside on his cape clinging on as he flies into the city instead. Tra-La-Laaa! From talking toilets to bionic boogers, there's no adventure too crazy (or too gross) for everyone's favorite zany superhero. Heller, Karen (April 26, 2000).

Kipper Krupp – A sixth-grade bully and Benjamin's nephew and Jasper Krupp's son, who would bully George, Harold, and other children when they were all in kindergarten. Due to a series of pranks that George and Harold conducted, he would eventually become nicer to the children along with his also mischievous friends Finkstein, Bugg, and Loogie. The Captain Underpants Collectors' Edition Collection (Books 1–3 + 3 CD-ROMs; 1997–1999, 2005–2008) Mr. Rusworthy – Mr. Rusworthy is (according to his tie) the music teacher of Jerome Horowitz Elementary school. His name is a pun on the word "Mistrustworthy". In the series, he is replaced by a different music teacher, Ms. Herd (a pun on “misheard”).

The Tra-La-La Riffic Captain Underpants Collection/The First Captain Underpants Collection (Books 1–4; 1997–2000)Captain Underpants gets his powers after drinking the Extra-Strength Superpower Juice, having the ability to fight and the power to fly (and possibly shoot extra pair of underwear that comes out of nowhere). His powers only seem to fully work when he is Captain Underpants.

The Adventures of Ook and Gluk Jr: Kung-Fu Cavekids in Outer Space (most likely completely cancelled due to the discontinuation of the first Ook and Gluk book) Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy, Part 1: The Night of the Nasty Nostril Nuggets (2003) Sir Stinks-A-Lot ( Mr. Meaner) – Mr. Meaner later becomes the alter ego of Sir Stinks-A-Lot, an evil hypnotist. While in prison, Meaner transforms into a blob of pure energy after eating an egg salad sandwich. He later removes Captain Underpants's superpowers and the effects of the Hypno ring. Jessica Roake, in an article published in Slate, argued that the books are well suited for young readers. She wrote that "They're drawn to them because for the first time in their reading lives they are understood, entertained, and catered to all at once. It is theirs, not ours, and that feeling of exclusive ownership forges the kind of connection everyone should have with at least one book in their life. For that, most every English teacher of my acquaintance will be more than happy to take the shot to the ego the Captain provides."

They disguised themselves as lunch ladies to turn the students of Jerome Horwitz Elementary School into Zombie Nerds by using Evil Zombie Nerd Juice. Frequently challenged books of the 21st century."

Around the same year the first book debuted to the public, Farley died of a drug overdose.
