Character from The Simpsons by Matt Groening / Fox
Springfield's unluckiest resident — a tiny, mole-like man of indeterminate extreme age who dies repeatedly by various means and is always back the next week.
Moleman exists at the intersection of extreme bad luck and extreme indestructibility. He is run over, crushed, electrocuted, and worse, at regular intervals, and continues to appear as though these events left no mark. Springfield treats him as part of the background. He once made a short film called 'Man Getting Hit by Football' at the Springfield Film Festival. It received the audience award. It was a man getting hit by a football. His age is listed as 31 in one episode and clearly incorrect. He has been the mayor of Springfield. He has been a janitor at the nuclear plant. He keeps surviving.
Tiny, hunched, nearly blind man with thick glasses, a bald head with a wisp of white hair, and the look of someone who has been waiting for the bus for forty years. He wears a brown suit. He is small enough to be overlooked in most crowd scenes and frequently is.
Also known as: Ralph Melish, Hans Moleman
