Full Name: Monkeyman Ahab Scruffy
Birthdate: 1990 or earlier
Species: Human
Nationality: United States of America

First Appearance: The Adventures of Scruffy and Que Pasa: Rise of Gorenicus
Background
When he was young, Monkeyman Scruffy, harassed by bullies, was sent to the underground dojo of the great Master Turtle-Nuts, where he trained alongside a young Pink Ninja. They became both loyal companions (winning Doubles tournaments together) and rivals. Scruffy perfected his fighting arts over time. It was there that he gained power over fire after accidentally drinking a fire scroll mixed in a blender.
Monkeyman Scruffy went on to live a somewhat normal life in a small island village, until one day he decided to embark on a life of adventure as a pirate with his loyal friend Que Pasa. Together the two founded the Golden Cheesecake Pirate Armada, and Scruffy became captain. Aside from a few mutinies, he has faithfully led the crew ever since. His other close companions include his second mate, Chef Lupine Shadow, and the crew's bodyguard, Mr. T, who acts as a great fatherly figure to Scruffy.
In The OnGoing Adventures of the GCPA, he achieved one of his greatest victories by defeating Bob Saget, who would become an eternal thorn in his side. The entire crew was separated and frozen for a thousand years after the final battle. Then in The Golden Cheesecake Pirate Armada Sequel, Scruffy went out to recover his lost friends with his only remaining crewmate, Mr. T. In the meantime, he received special training from Drew Carey to harness his fire powers.
Scruffy appeared with the rest of the GCPA crew in Gamehiker Member OG VIII: The Final Parody, when they were in the Good Timeline. Scruffy volunteered his crew to help GORE-ILLA, a friend of the crew, in battle with Yami Yoshi. Although the battle went well, the crew was later captured by the Donkeyman and sent to the bottom of the sea, where they were pursued by the Cayken. After defeating the Cayken, Scruffy left his crew to check up on the other Gamehikers. At that time the Good Timeline was destroyed by the Timeline Bombinator, but Scruffy was on the Donkeyman's ship at the time so he survived.
Scruffy then teamed up with the other Gamehikers in the Bad Timeline to find a way to restore the Good Timeline- and his lost comrades. Scruffy became a member of the new Anti-OG Six to do so. Eventually, Scruffy was taken to the Time Repository and met The Ageless One. Scruffy was sent into a room filled with broken and incomplete timelines in order to find a link to the Good Timeline, as only someone from the GCPA world would be able to enter and exit the timelines at will. Scruffy eventually found Gamehiker Member OG VI: Which Way Does Time Go?, which was used to restore the Good Timeline. Scruffy then gathered his crew together and used the Golden Cheesecake to rescue the survivors of Donkeyman's climactic battle with Lupus and the Cheese Star.
In The Bronze Cobra Conspiracy, Scruffy and his crew discovered a mysterious shadowy organization known as the Bronze Cobra Conspiracy. The mysterious Agent Meyer decided to help Scruffy and Darth Curry (whom had inexplicably befriended Scruffy) infiltrate this mysterious shadoy organization. This infiltration was successful, but it seems that Scruffy and Curry bought into the conspiracy and became willing members, leading Scruffy to reject his former crewmates and threaten them when they pursued the Conspiracy.
He eventually got better and re-led the crew. He and Mr. T set off to repair time with Golem and several others in T-Ventures against the ever-throwing threat of Saget before returning to lead the pirates on their potentially final adventures. These plans are set into motion in the GCPA Finale. Scruffy buys back the pirates whose souls he sold and then has them mingle in order to prepare for the captain's games, in which they would compete for the role of his successor. They would take his place when he ran for president of the world so that he could stop Saget's schemes for good; Scruffy's lack of faith in Que Pasa led the first mate to desert the crew, which Scruffy has either not noticed or acknowledged yet. While Mr. T was sent out to seek Bob Saget, Kevin Sorbo was called in to help Scruffy with some muscle-work. However, Mr. T's mission has gone awry with his current status unknown. At the same time, Scruffy finally chose the reluctant Stampede as his successor.
Abilities
Aside from his natural leadership skills, Monkeyman Scruffy can also ignite his body on fire ala the Human Torch and can also blast fireballs. He gained this control over fire after accidentally drinking a magical fire scroll he had mixed in a blender. His weapon of choice is the boomstick and he once turned into a superhero named Super Hobo. Scruffy also also on occasion worn a special poncho that allows him to teleport.

Trivia
Monkeyman Scruffy is named after Monkey D. Luffy from the One Piece manga, a major influence of the GCPA. The name "Scruffy" is also partially in homage to Scruffy the Janitor from Futurama, whom Real-Life Scruffy idolizes as well.
