Character Name: Muscles Smurf |
Muscles is a Smurf character who is solely part of Vic George's series of EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf fanfiction stories. According to the story series, he is the father of Hefty, Handy, Grouchy, and Sassette, who enjoyed both physical entertainments like his son Hefty and the desire to build things like his son Handy. Grouchy particularly disliked his father giving all his attention to the other siblings, especially Hefty who constantly bullied him around as a young Smurfling. About 50 years later, he along with his wife succumbed to the same unknown disease that claimed the lives of all their fellow Smurfs except for Papa Smurf. Hefty, Handy, and Grouchy were then left in the care of Papa Smurf along with 94 other young Smurfs their age.
Years later, in the story "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf", Muscles supposedly came back from the dead to meet his grown-up sons and a Sassette who still remained around 50 years of age. However, Smurfette, Polaris Psyche, and the Smurflings discover and reveal the truth that the "resurrected" Muscles was just an illusion created by the Auld Lang Syne Spell that the evil witch Chlorhydris had cast upon the Smurfs. Grouchy had discovered this out for himself earlier when he caused his Papa Smurf to vanish before his eyes due to the hatred of his father's favoritism toward his other siblings.
