About
One of the most well-respected actors in the world, Poitier works with such screen titans as Sally Struthers even in his advanced age. He owns a small clam containing the Shobjinn Fairies, who inform him when evil is afoot - like Mecha-Streisand. He can turn into an enormous turtle-like creature whenever giant monsters run amok and loves the thrill of a good fight. He can also fly by pulling his body parts inside his shell. While he is defeated by Streisand, his bravery proves important in weakening her for Robert Smith.

Fun Facts
- His monster form is based on the character Gamera from the 1965 Japanese monster film Gamera the Invincible and it's many sequels. The character is a gigantic turtle-like creature that breathes fire and defends children from other giant monsters.
- The Shobjinn fairies who tell Poitier about Streisand are a homage to the same characters in the Mothra film series, particularly 1961's Mothra, 1954's Mothra vs. Godzilla and 1964's Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster.
