Bionic Bunny

"Sorry. If it doesn't involve flying, battling monsters, or lifting heavy objects, I'm kind of at a loss."

- himself to Arthur

The Bionic Bunny is a superhero who is the main protagonist of a television show of the same name. He is portrayed by Wilbur Rabbit, an actor in the Arthur series. He is a parody of Superman.

When Bionic Bunny and Dark Bunny were born, the two were separated at birth. Dark Bunny was taken by an evil witch, and Bionic Bunny was taken by a robot. An episode in "Buster's Back" shows his bionic parts being constructed and fitted into his body. He is highly allergic to sodium chloride (NaCl), or salt. Bionic Bunny's real name is Sue.

Bionic Bunny is a tall, muscular rabbit with a white complexion. He wears a blue shirt with a "B" on the front of his chest, dark blue pants, blue underwear over his pants, a red cape, a red hat with an antenna, and white and blue sneakers. In the promotional illustration, he wore a dark blue suit with red underwear over his suit, red sneakers, a red cape, and a red hat with a yellow antenna.
