'''Super Goof'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> is Goofy's [[superhero]] alter ego who gets his powers by eating super [[goobers]] (peanuts). Goofy became the first Disney character to also be a superhero,{{citation needed|date=March 2018}} but several would follow, including [[Donald Duck]] as [[Paperinik]].

The initial concept was developed by Disney Publications Dept. head [[George Sherman (comics)|George Sherman]] and Disney United Kingdom merchandising representative Peter Woods. It was passed on to Western Publishing scripter Del Connell who refined it, including the eventual device of peanuts providing superpowers.<ref>{{cite book|first=Cathy Sherman |last=Freeman|title=A Disney Childhood: Comic Books to Sailing Ships|location= Duncan, Oklahoma|publisher= BearManor Media|year= 2012|page=14}}</ref>

The initial version of Super Goof appeared in "The Phantom Blot meets Super Goof", in ''Walt Disney's The Phantom Blot'' No. 2 (Feb. 1965) by Connell (story) and [[Paul Murry]] (art).<ref>{{cite book |last1=Becattini |first1=Alberto |title=American Funny Animal Comics in the 20th Century: Volume Two |date=2019 |publisher=Theme Park Press |isbn=978-1683902218 |chapter=Super-Animals}}</ref> There Goofy mistakenly believes he has developed superpowers.<ref name=toonopedia/><ref>[https://www.comics.org/issue/18636/ ''Walt Disney's The Phantom Blot'' #2] at the [[Grand Comics Database]]. "This Super Goof is not the character from Super Goof (Gold Key, 1965).

The third and definitive version debuted in "The Thief of Zanzipar" in ''Walt Disney Super Goof'' No. 1 (Oct. 1965), written by [[Bob Ogle]] and drawn by Murry, in which the origin of his powers are special peanuts Goofy finds in his backyard.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wells |first1=John |title=American Comic Book Chronicles: 1965–1969 |date=2014 |publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing |isbn=978-1605490557 |page=55}}</ref><ref>[https://www.comics.org/series/1603/ ''Walt Disney Super Goof'' #1] at the Grand Comics Database.</ref><ref>[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+SG++++1-02 "The Thief of Zanzipar": Origin of Super Goof] at the INDUCKS.</ref> In this story, Super Goof battles the Super Thief, a scientific genius who shrinks world landmarks, and holds them for ransom.<ref>{{cite book |last =Rovin |first =Jeff |title =The Encyclopedia of Supervillains |publisher =Facts on File |date =1987 |location =New York |isbn = 0-8160-1356-X |pages=333–334}}</ref>

The effect of Super Goof's special peanuts is temporary, so the superpowers wear off after a couple of hours. Many stories use this as a comical effect with the powers wearing off at the most inappropriate time. The peanuts give similar superpowers to whoever eats them, not just Goofy. In some stories, random criminals who have accidentally eaten the peanuts have temporarily become supervillains.

In a [[Fictional crossover|crossover]] story, [[Huey, Dewey and Louie]] found a super goober plant sprouted by a dropped goober, and "borrowed" Super Goof's powers; after doing a round of super deeds, the ducks' powers faded, and they had to be rescued by the [[Junior Woodchucks]].<ref>[http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=W+JW+++27-03 "The Super Good Woodchucks"] in ''Huey, Dewey and Louie Junior Woodchucks'' No. 27 (July 1974) at the INDUCKS.{{better source needed|date=March 2018}}</ref> On occasion, Gilbert uses the super goobers to become a superhero under the name Super Gilbert, beginning with the story "The Twister Resisters" in ''Walt Disney Super Goof'' No. 5.<ref>[https://www.comics.org/issue/20617/#150424 "The Twister Resisters", ''Walt Disney Super Goof'' #5] at the Grand Comics Database.

On Disney's ''[[Toontown Online]]'' during the Halloween season, Goofy is Super Goof for the occasion.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} He also appeared in one episode of ''[[House of Mouse]]'' ("[[List of House of Mouse episodes#ep23|Super Goof]]") and in two episodes of ''[[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]]'' ("[[List of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes#ep66|Goofy's Super Wish]]" and "[[List of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes#ep70|Super Goof's Super Puzzle]]"). In the television series ''[[Mickey Mouse (2013 TV series)|Mickey Mouse]]'', Goofy dresses as Super Goof for the half-hour Halloween special "[[The Scariest Story Ever: A Mickey Mouse Halloween Spooktacular!]]".
