Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Ernie and Tim

Named after their late voice actors Ernie Borgnine and Tim Conway, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are just about never actually addressed by their real names in the show.

2. Both Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were actually retired before SpongeBob and Patrick convinced them to come out of retirement. What was the name of the retirement home they live in?

Answer: Shady Shoals

Shady Shoals is a generic retirement home for the elderly of Bikini Bottom. It lies just above the Mermalair, accessible to the superhero duo even from their room.

3. Every superhero needs a hideout, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are no exception. Used as a parody of Batman's Batcave, what is the name of the duo's hideout?

Answer: Mermalair

The Mermalair, according to the show's creator Stephen Hillenburg, was meant to be a parody of the Batcave. It has a super computer along with a wide arsenal of weapons and other gadgets, is based underground and within a cave just like the Batcave.

Answer: The Quickster

"With the ability to run... Really, really quick!" The Quickster's power is pretty self explanatory.

Answer: Krakatoa

By yelling "Karaktoa!" The small volcano on Squidward's head will erupt, shooting out a large swath of magma that lands on an area Squidward targets. this sounds great, but is quickly quenched when Mermaid Man accidentally misfires with a Waterball, which Squidward is extremely weak to, and completely reduces Squidward to mere ashes, despite the fact that they all live underwater.

6. Patrick Star also becomes the beneficiary of Mermaid Man's gift under the IJLSA, given a nifty superhero name. What name is this?

Answer: Elastic Waistband

To be honest "Rock-Star" would have probably been cooler, but Elastic Waistband is sillier, fitting the theme of the team a bit better. Patrick's power is the ability to stretch his limbs at extreme lengths and distances.

7. Sandy Cheeks rounds off the IJLSA, thanks to Mermaid Man granting her superpowers. What is Sandy's superhero name?

Answer: Miss Appear

Sandy's power is quite simple- she can turn invisible at will. She is ultimately betrayed by this power, as she gets hit by a motor-operated boat, which knocks her off a cliff to her doom.

8. As "Mermaid" Man, it would make sense for him to wear an article of clothing befitting of an actual Mermaid. What piece of clothing does Mermaid Man wear to suit this motif?

Answer: Seashell bra

Mermaid Man wears a small seashell bra on the outside of his shirt to satisfy the "Mermaid" moniker. He does this both as an elderly, retired superhero and as his younger/more fit self.

9. While Barnacle Boy often calls Mermaid Man an "old coot", Barnacle Boy is rather elderly himself! How old is Barnacle Boy?

Answer: 68 years old

This is revealed in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V." Barnacle Boy shows his identity when Mermaid Man orders him a Pipsqueak Patty at the Krusty Krab, as a way of proving that he doesn't deserve to get treated like a child.

10. Unlike Mermaid Man, Barnacle Boy has his own signature move. While it has diminished due to his advanced age, it still gets the job done. What is Barnacle Boy's signature move?

Answer: Sulfur Vision

While Mermaid Man's belt-based powers are stronger, Sulfur Vision has proven to be exclusively accessible to Barnacle Boy. As the power suggests, this is mostly a generic laser-vision power used to melt away at hardened surfaces which would be difficult to penetrate otherwise.

Answer: Every Villain Is Lemons

After this acronym is a read off, a lemon with an angry face appears on the screen. This causes Mermaid Man to enter a berserk state, running around and repeatedly yelling "evil!" until he has to be restrained by the retirement home staff.

12. What character ultimately forms "EVIL" and opposes Mermaid Man?

Answer: Barnacle Boy

Barnacle Boy expresses that he has reached his limit with being treated like a child by Mermaid Man, promising to cross over to "The Dark Side." He joins forces with the Dirty Bubble and Manray, creating "EVIL" and entering a large conflict against Mermaid Man and the IJLSA at Makeout Cove.

13. The IJLSA ends up defeating EVIL

Answer: False

EVIL actually prevails, mostly because of how poorly coordinated the IJLSA ends up being. Still, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy make peaceful amends with one another, EVIL gets disbanded, and the town is saved by the superhero duo.

14. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy both enjoy the same favorite food as one another. What favorite food is this?

Answer: Meatloaf

Barnacle Boy becomes angry if he shows up the retirement home cafeteria for lunch and they end up being out of meatloaf. Mermaid Man also expresses disappointment at the home's lack of "our favorite dietary supplement."

15. Like Grandma SquarePants, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy share the unique show-based trait of what?

Answer: Being retired from the show

In 2012, Ernest Borgnine, the voice actor for Mermaid Man, passed away. In his honor, the show decided to retire Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy rather than have Mermaid Man's voice actor be replaced.
