Fearless Leader

Fearless Leader

Fearless Leader is a fictional character in the 1959-1964 animated television series "Rocky and His Friends" and "The Bullwinkle Show", both shows often collectively referred to as "Rocky and Bullwinkle".

Character overview

Fearless Leader is the dictator of the fictional nation of Pottsylvania, and the employer of the inept spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. He could always be found in his underground hideout, "Central Control." However, it seems evident that he did answer to one man himself: the diminutive Mr. Big. Mr. Big appears in two storylines of the series, "Upsidaisium" and "Metal Munching Moon Mice."

As expected from his given position and name, Fearless Leader is a strict, ruthless character, and often harshly criticizes the incompetence of his main minion Boris. He is distrustful of his own government employees, and is known to carry the Pottsylvania treasury with him wherever he goes. (One occasion had him furious that the Treasurer stole the treasury and he didn't think of it first.) Although Pottsylvania's chief spies are given ersatz Russian accents, Fearless Leader's accent seems more in keeping with the German stereotype. In fact, his sharply-angled features were taken directly from [http://americanart.si.edu/collections/exhibits/posters/objects/pp-noframe.html?/collections/exhibits/posters/objects/PP-1995.84.25_b.html an anti-Nazi propaganda poster] that had circulated during World War II.
