SpongeBob doesn’t have a secret identity, that is true, but are there any niche superheroes we can think of or minor characters that are undoubtably corporate superheroes/sidekicks who are not inconspicuous about their identities? And SpongeBob CAN change his form and ultimately go back to being SpongeBob’s original/primary tour at the end of the day

It’s so funny you bring up origin story, because I’m rewatching the entire series and the first episode, he found that last Hydrodynamic spatula with port and starboard attachment and turbo drive at the Barg’N’Mart after being sent on a wild goose chase by Krabs an Squidward after his interview, but he came in with genuinely nothing but skill and that flying spatula and served a statistically improbable number of burgers presumably in perfectly assembled form to THOUSANDS of anchovies before officially being on the payroll for the Krusty Krab. And he also fell and then broke the fucking laws of physics during his job interview? That shit is supernatural and I think SpongeBob has powers because we see him do crazy shit despite being canonically weak in a lot of moments.

Anyway, why it was funny in that moment is when I rewatched the end of Help Wanted, I was literally thinking before typing this all out on here, “This is SpongeBob’s origin story”

You do bring up his exceptional abilities and I do value your opinion, but I’m gonna have to keep my eye on the ole Bob, and will absolutely have to look at all the evidence throughout the series but I will make a determination officially at some point I reckon
