This is the page for Garfield's Alter Egos.
The Caped Avenger[]
The Caped Avenger in Garfield and Friends.
This is Garfield's most used alter ego. In this alter ego, Garfield usually wears his blanket or towel around his neck as a cape, hence the name. While he is the Caped Avenger, Garfield acts like a stereotypical superhero, always looking for people in need or villains to fight. Since Garfield's normally uneventful life provides neither of the two, Garfield resorts to making up situations or villains to satisfy his heroic fantasies. This usually backfires on Garfield as he tends to accidentally destroy things, or pick fights with opponents much stronger than him, like large dogs.
On one occasion, Garfield, as the Caped Avenger, tried to 'save' a cheeseburger Jon was eating, proclaiming Jon to be 'The infamous Dr. Dweeb'. As a result, Jon ties him up in his cape, abruptly ending Garfield's heroic fantasy. (Garfield says he hates it when Jon does that.)
Occasionally, Odie will become his sidekick, taking the name "Slurp". Garfield also occasionally uses the Caped Avenger alter ego in the animated shows.

Backstory[]
According a comic posted on the Professor Garfield website, Professor Garfield is an alter-ego of the regular Garfield. When Garfield, Jon, and Odie were vacationing in Bern, Switzerland, they visited a museum dedicated to Albert Einstein. When Garfield happened to put on a pair of Einstein's old glasses, he was transformed into the super-smart Professor Garfield. Now he can summon these powers any time he puts the glasses on.
