Muscle Man

Mitch "Muscle Man" Sorenstein is one of the groundskeepers at the park.

Appearance
Muscle Man is a green, obese man with shoulder-length greenish brown hair. He wears a long-sleeved grayish-blue shirt, dark gray pants, and black shoes. The two times he changed clothing, was when he was at The Coffee Shop, on Open Mic Night. He wore a suit, tie, and long pants. When He thought he was a millionare in the episode "Big Winner" he wore one of those shirts that is a fake suit.(top)

Personality and Traits
Muscle Man is a type of monster and/or disfigured humanoid that works in the park along with Mordecai and Rigby. As of the episode Gut Model, he has worked for the park for 5 years. Although Benson considers him to be hard-working, Muscle Man (along with High Five Ghost) has been revealed to do more work than Mordecai and Rigby despite all four being slackers. In Muscle Woman, though, they tend to slack off more than Mordecai and Rigby. In My Mom, it's shown that he has a lot of friends, most in which love his constant "My Mom!" jokes, which everyone else at the park gets annoyed with. He's best friends with High Five Ghost, who loves his jokes. Ignorant yet clever when it comes to pranks, he's always either insulting Mordecai or Rigby, or trying to prank them (ex. "My Mom", "See You There"). But he does care about his mom as shown in My Mom when he got very angry when Mordecai and Rigby made fun of his mom. In response, he brought his brother, John, to give Mordecai and Rigby a punishment for ridiculing their mother.

Despite being obese and lazy, there is a story behind Muscle Man's nickname (as revealed in Peeps). In the episode, he said that he is losing muscle mass from the stress Peeps put on him, so he may have muscle mass. He also loves to mess around with Mordecai and Rigby.

Cartoon Network Character Page Description
"Muscle Man is a macho jerk who's always putting people down. However, he usually messes up the wording of his insults and winds up making fun of himself."

Starla
Starla is Muscle Man's girlfriend that is seen in Muscle Woman. Muscle Man has been dumped by Starla 2 times, presumably for not being willing to share his feelings.

High-Five Ghost
High-Five Ghost is to Muscle Man as Rigby is to Mordecai, because we don't see then together as much, we can't be sure. Mordecai shows affection for Rigby much more than Muscle Man does to HFG. They are usually seen together in the episodes. He usually gives a high five right after Muscle Man says a "My Mom" joke. In "My Mom!," the two seem to slack-off as much as Mordecai and Rigby.

Mordecai
Out of the two protagonists, Mordecai seems to dislike Muscle Man more. He is annoyed by the constant "My Mom" jokes and even confronts Muscle Man about it in "My Mom!". Besides that episode, there is not much interaction. Muscle Man does throw his shirt at Mordecai in "Caffeinated Concert Tickets", but that may have been an accident rather than a direct confrontation. He may have been doing this just so that they would not have to do his work.

Rigby
Rigby seems to like Muscle Man slightly more than Mordecai. He likes to hang out with him in "My Mom!", and seems to get along with him very well, yelling "Ohhhhhh!" along with him at the taco truck. They do have some confrontations though. In "Meat Your Maker", he goes to say Muscle Man pushed him at a party (though Mordecai quickly says Muscle Man was not even there). Also by the end of "My Mom", Rigby goes on to say how he hates Muscle Man. Also in "Death Punchies", Muscle Man is forced to be look out, even though his eyes were punched out by Rigby. They also hang out in "The Night Owl".

Benson
Benson trusts Muscle Man far more than Rigby and Mordecai, as established in "Appreciation Day" and "My Mom ". He does fire Muscle Man though in "Don"and Under the Hood. Benson also seems to understand Muscle Man and his antics, as demonstrated in "But I Have A Receipt" and "Free Cake", not yelling at Muscle Man when he put "My Mom" on the list. He does not confront Muscle Man when he turns off the lights and unzips his pants in "Free Cake ", saying, " It's not that kind of party, Muscle Man."

John
John is Muscle Man's older brother, who was seen in "My Mom".

Scott D.
Scott D. is the person in charge of the getting people to the Crash Pit. When Muscle Man and High Five Ghost find a car to run into the Crash Pit he gets people to watch.

Bobby
Bobby works at the nursery he helps people carry heavy plants. Him and Muscle Man are friends. He thinks Muscle Man's "My Mom" jokes are hilarious.

Jimmy
Jimmy works at the TV Warehouse and owes Muscle Man something. He got fired for giving him a TV so that they can beat the hammer.

Taco Clock Worker
He seems to have a friendship with the taco clock worker. He also laughs at Muscle Man's "my mom" jokes.
