A shape-shifter used by Dr. Rocket on more than one occasion (including a stint impersonating Captain Spectacular back in the Seventies), it was Herman disguised as Dr. Rocket that was one of Valhalla's first residents. Thanks to a microchip in his head, Herman was able to think, feel and act just like the real Dr. Rocket.
Things got complicated for Herman when Jerry hit him on the head during Bingo Night and damaged the chip, thus causing a slow intermingling of the Herman and Dr. Rocket personas. Herman began doing less evil and more good deeds and his natural stuttering habit began to come forward.
