Who was your childhood hero? Tinky Winky

My childhood hero was Tinky Winky in the show the Teletubbies.  Tinky Winky was a purple boss that ate tubby custard, which is the tastiest food in the world!  He was also cool because he showed off his TV belly that showed awesome videos.  Last but not least, he was PURPLE!!!, which isn't exactly a man color, but I thought he was boss.
