Popeye the Sailor is a fictional comic strips hero. appeared in animated films as well as numerous TV shows. Created by Elzie Crisler Segar, he first appeared in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929.
In 1980 Robin Williams played the role of him in a live-action film directed by Robert Altma.
He is a middle-aged independent sailor with a unique way of speaking, maybe missing one eye (his right), muscular forearms with two anchor tattoos, thinning gray hair, and an ever-present corncob pipe.
According to the official site, he is 34-years-old and was born in a typhoon off Santa Monica, California.
Popeye's strange, comic, and often supernatural adventures take him all over the world, and place him in conflict with enemies such as the Sea Hag and Bluto.
His main characteristic is to have superhuman strength. When fed up with this treatment or exhausted, he would eat spinach, which would instantly restore and amplify his strength to an even greater level and infuse him his extraordinary strength.
Popeye's sweetheart (and in some sources, wife) for over 77 years has been Olive Oyl, although the two characters often bickered, especially at the beginning of Popeye's appearances. Popeye is the adoptive father of Swee'Pea, an infant foundling left on his doorstep.
