Bio: The most prominent original character in the Super Mario Land comic stories as he appears in all 4 of the stories here as Tatanga uses his mind-link powers to use Herman to gain access to the real world. While in his debut story Herman is depicted as a smug, self-righteous middle-aged man in New York working at the Cash Register at an Electronics Store in the Wonder World mall who would rudely mouth off to anyone he finds bothersome but would backpedal quickly if confronted. However all of this would change when Tatanga uses him and his Game Boy to open a portal to the real world in which Tatanga forces him to be his servant. After the first Super Mario Land story Herman goes increasingly insane as he tries to evade Tatanga’s efforts in finding him but they never work and Tatanga forces him to be his slave again. So in other words from the 2nd Super Mario Land comic story onward he becomes a lot more erratic, paranoid and kind of unhinged (but he does occasionally show a kinder side as well).
