Editing Grover (section)

===Super Grover===
Grover has a semi-secret superhero identity as the well-meaning but inept ''Super Grover'', sometimes presented as the alter ego of Grover Kent, "ace doorknob salesman for Acme, Inc". Originally his superhero costume consisted of a pink cape and medieval knight's helmet, with a [[Superman]]-style crest on both the cape and his T-shirt, bearing a letter "G" on his chest instead of "S". During the 1970s and 1980s, ''[[Sesame Street]]'' ran a series of Super Grover sketches spoofing the classic ''[[Adventures of Superman (TV series)|Adventures of Superman]]'' series (in the opening of these, his name was hyphenated "Super-Grover"). An announcer ([[Jerry Nelson]]) introduced each episode with the lines:
{{blockquote|
Presenting the further adventures of everybody's favorite hero. The man who's faster than lightning, stronger than steel, and smarter than a speeding bullet. It's... Super Grover!
}}

With that, a fanfare sounds, Super Grover bursts through a paper wall bearing his crest, fruitlessly tries to move his helmet up off his eyes, and adds, "And I am cute, too!"

{{blockquote|
''Announcer:'' And now, on to our story.

''Super Grover:'' Yes! On to our story!
}}

From there, episodes followed a simple formula: Super Grover is flying somewhere over Metro City when he hears the cries of a Muppet child in some small trouble and immediately sails in to assist. The excited child is quickly disillusioned as Super Grover crash-lands nearby. From there, Grover continues to be enthusiastic but no help whatsoever, his "dramatic" feats of strength or speed serving only to kill time while the child solves the problem on their own and wanders off. By then, Grover's efforts have usually landed him in a comical predicament of his own.

Super Grover has appeared in the ''[[Sesame Street]]'' theatrical films ''[[Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird|Follow That Bird]]'' (1985) and ''[[The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland]]'' (1999), where it is revealed he stretches his arms out and spins into his costume in homage to ''[[Wonder Woman (TV series)|Wonder Woman]]''), as well as the PBS special ''[[Don't Eat the Pictures]]'' (1983), where he first appears as regular Grover, but quickly changes into his costume in an attempt to make friends with a suit of armor (having no idea that there's no one inside it).

For ''Sesame Street''{{'}}s 41st season in 2010, the character was revamped as ''Super Grover 2.0'', who debuted on ''[[Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'', flying in and crash-landing behind the chair where he was meant to sit. His new costume consists of a Roman Centurion-style helmet with a spiked crest, a red cape, metal gauntlets and boots, a utility belt, and a black rubber vest, most of which resembles bike racing gear. Both the cape and the vest are adorned with his crest, now with a lightning bolt added behind the "G". The helmet has a hinged visor which still tends to fall over Grover's eyes, and his tagline is: ''Super Grover 2.0 – He Shows Up!''
