King Man

Magic Man (also known as Mysterious Man) is the main antagonist of the episode "Freak City." He poses as a homeless man to travelers, begging for food. If someone gives anything to him he'll do them "a mystical magical favor" in return by turning them into mutated freaks resembling body parts. He is a gaudy and jolly soul out to teach a "magical life lesson": that he's a jerk. Magic Man winds up turning Finn into a giant foot, which makes him depressed. Despite Jake's urges for him to remain a foot, Finn overcomes his depression in the end and helps the other freaks Magic Man cursed to beat him up. Magic Man taunts the freaks to make them riddle out the lesson he wishes to teach them as he does battle with them. Finn thought it was a message on teamwork, confidence, or charity. In the end, the lesson that the Magic Man is trying to teach is to not help out jerks. He returns the freaks to their normal selves after Finn states that he should've never helped Magic Man. Magic Man teleports away in the end to find more suckers to transform into freaks. Magic Man is also the main antagonist in the Cartoon Network game Jake's Tough Break.

He will return in the episode "Sons of Mars." He appears to be followed by Grob Gob Glob Grod for an unknown reason. Glob confirms that they are all brothers.

He was banished to Earth by Grob Gob Glob Grod for his crimes against the inhabitants of Mars.

Appearance
Magic Man is a humanoid that has green skin and wears tattered yellow clothes and a matching yellow wizard hat. He also wears mismatching boots, with one boot being purple and the other red. His eyes are white, like the Ice King's eyes. He wears a red backpack with orange and green straps, the backpack has a rolled up pink blanket on top of it. He also has a pouch strapped to his leg. While disguised as a beggar, he covers himself with a tattered brown blanket that hides his features. He is one of few characters with a nose. Magic Man is smiling constantly when not in his beggar outfit. When he turns the bird inside out it is revealed that his skin is uneven.

Abilities
Magic Man has a number of magical powers including the ability to transform people into body parts and back, teleport, throw energy bolts and magic confetti, turn birds inside out, and create portals. He can create fireworks that spell out the words "EAT IT." Magic Man isn't exactly seen "fighting" (the only magic he uses on the freaks is harmless sparks and confetti, which he uses to taunt them), but he seems to be adept at defending himself in combat. He protected himself from Gork's lava blasts by conjuring portals and redirecting it behind him. He also was able to quickly recover from being punched and launched a great distance by Zap, making a perfect landing. When he changes the freaks back to normal form he appears to do nothing but lightly clap his hands, suggesting it took little effort. In light of how carefree he was about the fight, it is likely the Super Freak wasn't really a challenging opponent for him. As seen in "Son of Mars", it is possible to use the same sound that he says before teleporting through the firework void in order to make copies of himself.
