Character from fosters-home by Craig McCracken / Cartoon Network
The kid who created Wilt to be great at basketball — who grew up, made it big, and spent thirty years trying to find the friend who saved him.
Jordan Michaels wasn't good at basketball. So he imagined Wilt — a towering red friend who was. During a game against the monstrous Foul Larry, Wilt dove in front of Jordan to save him and lost his arm and eye. Wilt, consumed by guilt, ran away. Jordan never stopped looking. Thirty years later, at a Foster's reunion, they finally meet again. Jordan tells Wilt what Wilt could never believe: he was never angry. He was grateful. He looked everywhere. The guilt was always Wilt's, never Jordan's. It's one of the most emotionally devastating scenes in Cartoon Network history.
As an adult, tall and athletic with the confident bearing of someone who made it in professional sports. The design deliberately evokes a Michael Jordan-esque silhouette. As a child in flashbacks, he's small, uncoordinated, and desperate to be good at basketball — the exact kid who'd need to imagine a friend who was.
