* NotQuiteFlight: When Herbie needs to take to the air, he'll use whatever method suits his whim at the moment. If he doesn't simply [[FlyingBrick fly,]] he might [[GravityMaster walk on air,]] or [[TheBeastmaster command birds to carry him]]. And for interstellar distances, he will typically stroll to his destination.

As a comic book character, Herbie first appeared in the story "Herbie's Quiet Saturday Afternoon", published in ''Forbidden Worlds'' #73 by American Comics Group. The deadpan absurdist humor was well-received by readers, and a new "Herbie" story eventually appeared in issue #94. Readers kept asking for more Herbie stories, and soon he was appearing in every other issue, and his name prominently featured on the cover. By May 1964, ACG launched a dedicated title called ''Herbie'', and it ran for twenty-three issues until American Comics Group closed shop.

To put a bit more context: Herbie Popnecker is a fictional comic book character who first appeared in "Herbie's Quiet Saturday Afternoon", a story in ''Forbidden Worlds'' #73 published by American Comics Group in December 1958. The story was well received by readers, so a new "Herbie" story appeared in issue #94. Readers wanted more and more Herbie stories, and soon he was appearing in every other issue of ''Forbidden Worlds'', with his name dominating the magazine's logo. By May 1964, ACG launched a dedicated title simply called ''Herbie'', which ran for twenty-three issues until American Comics Group closed shop.

* SuperSpeed: Herbie has a rare lethargic version Super Speed. While he is never shown moving faster than a lazy stride, he can use it to travel across ''galaxies'' without effort. This differs from {{Teleportation}} as other characters can see him coming (and run away, if they're smart).

* NighInvulnerability: Herbie is so resistant to damage that he sometimes doesn't even notice that he's being attacked. This tends to end poorly for any villain [[PunchPunchPunchUhOh who can actually get Herbie's attention...]]

* {{Parody}}: Herbie's costumed identity as the Fat Fury is an obvious parody of comic-book superheroes.
