| | '''''Bionic Bunny''''' is [[Arthur Read|Arthur's]], and [[Buster Baxter|Buster's]] favorite TV show. It is a parody of Superman. Buster was a big fan of it until ''[[Buster Gets Real]]'', when he started to watch ''[[Top Supermarket Clerk]]'', and Arthur still is a fan. The sequel is ''Dark Bunny''. When ''Bionic Bunny'' and Dark Bunny were born, it reveals that (in the show ''[[Happy Anniversary]]'') the two were separated at birth. ''Dark Bunny'' was taken by an evil witch, hence making him more dark, and ''Bionic Bunny'' was taken by a robot. |

| ==Biography==
| | [[Arthur|''Arthur'']] |
| Bionic Bunny's origin story varies. In [[D.W. the Copycat|''D.W. the Copycat'']]'','' a Bionic Bunny Show episode claims he was "created by a combination of super science and radical animal husbandry to fight crime". The images suggest that Bionic Bunny is a cyborg who may have begun life as a nonanthropomorphic rabbit. An episode in [[Buster's Back|''Buster's Back'']] shows his bionic parts being constructed and fitted into his body.
