I was thinking something along the lines of someone who has lots of gadgets and hacking ability. so no actual strength or abilities just raw nerdiness.

I just want to mention here the time he turned himself into Bruce Lee with science.

Now that I think about it, an anti-thesis to the Macho Man doesn't have to be a nerd. The role of weak-nerd is filled by the crew when compared to the Macho Man. To determine the anti-thesis to the Macho Man, we must think of what the Macho Man is.The question is asking for the most un-macho thing there is. I will say this, I have no idea what that would be.
It uguus.

I don't think we should be looking for an "antithesis" to macho man so much as a RIVAL to macho man. Someone of equivalent power, but with a different thematic element or way of using those powers. Maybe they could be the "heel" to macho man's "face"?

I still don't get the macho = good, nerd = bad thing. Please can someone explain why nerdiness is seen as a bad thing and machoness a good thing? If it's a joke it's kinda got old real quick. It has the effect of feeling like you are playing with playground macho jerk jocks.

Also I'm pretty sure that's the intended effect, but at the same time it's a joke in a spaceman fart game. I mean you can't put too much thought into something so tame.

I am kinda suprised no one said this but what about the clown?
When a clown comes into sight of someone with Machoman powers he becomes Doink the clown

Doink even has Cluwne colors. He's perfect.

i've had an idea for a blob-esque station event for mixed rounds called wrestlemania where macho man/other wrestlers (let's get a hulk hogan) are spawned with the intention of defeating the other wrestlers (but told not to worry about collateral damage). this could be a nice contestant
