List of Polgas' other guises

List of Polgas' other guises

Aside from Wisedog/Dobermaxx, here is an exhaustive list of Polgas's more prominent and named aliases which appears in the comic strip "Pugad Baboy". They are ordered according to first appearance in the comic strip's compilations (from "The Very Best of Pugad Baboy" or "Pugad Baboy One" to "Pugad Baboy Sunday Comics").

Note that the list is limited only to those that appear in the strip proper and does not include guises that appear on promotional items such as the Polgas P-Gurines:
* Superpol - Polgas changes into this superhero spoof while the Sungcals were having a fire drill. ["Fire Drill", Pugad Baboy 3]
* Aquapol - a spoof of Aquaman who saves the Pugad Baboy gang from some ugly sea creatures. ["Bakasyon", The Best of Pugad Baboy]
* Amorsolo - Medina's version of a Ninja Turtle after seeing the pattern of the actual Ninja Turtles being named after Renaissance artists. His name is derived from the name of Filipino painter Fernando Amorsolo. ["Bodyguard", The Best of Pugad Baboy]
* Robin Hound - a spoof of Robin Hood, he helps Tomas and Ka Noli stop a certain Sendong Langib and his band of pedophiles from escaping. ["Retraining", Pugad Baboy 4]
* Growlsbuster - a spoof of a Ghostbuster. He drives ghouls and monsters away from the hut he and the Pugad Baboy gang were staying in Dueñas using weapons containing garlic."Ang Hiwaga ng Dueñas", Pugad Baboy 4]
* Weredog - a werewolf cover of Wisedog to stake out the camp of the ghouls, so he and the Pugad Baboy gang could rescue Pao later.
* Shin Dong Pol - a "tae kwon dog" expert who teaches his martial art to Debbie and Barbie to get back at their husbands. ["Feminist", PB5]
* Dr. Edwin Polbert - a spoof of Dr. Edwin Colbert, a paleontologist specializing in dinosaurs. He appears after Bab found what seemed to be a dinosaur bone. ["Jurassic Pork", Pugad Baboy 6]
* Commandog - a spoof of "Commando", a title character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. He gives Tomas a bomb filled with pink paint after the latter became ironically frustrated in his paintball skills. Commandog apparently takes advantage of Tomas's feelings to settle Commandog's grudge against the owner of the Pari's Point restaurant after Commandog was refused a discount. ["War Games", Pugad Baboy 6]
* Judge Tickolas Marshall - a spoof of the lead character Nicholas Marshall in the TV show "Dark Justice". Judge Tickolas implements "Bark Justice" where his punishments for various crimes seem lame at first, but brutal if applied. ["Bark Justice", Pugad Baboy 6] His most brutal punishment was to American deserter Cassius "G. I." Jones, whom the judge sentences to death "in any way possible" for the latter's activities involving white slavery. The judge's weakness happens to be his fear of hurting women. ["The Olongapo Caper", Pugad Baboy 6]
* Pol Torero - a spoof of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)'s The Undertaker. Dagul called him the "Pinoy Undertaker" (a Filipino version of the wrestler) after Polgas appears in the Undertaker's get-up and uttered, "I will not rest in peace!" His name is derived from the Filipino word "sepultorero", a cemetery caretaker, and this guise is probably a Halloween gimmick. ["Living Dead", Pugad Baboy 7]
* Carlo J. Capolgas - a spoof of Filipino movie director Carlo J. Caparas. Like his namesake director, Carlo wants his films to be full of blood and gore, much to the embarrassment of his latest acquisition, Tiny. ["Artista II", Pugad Baboy 7]
* Dogtor Walden Beldog - a spoof of socio-economist Walden Bello who comments on the Philippine government's application of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). ["Mga Eksenang Pang-inis", Pugad Baboy 7]
* J. Paul Gasti - a spoof of J. Paul Getty. Polgas uses this name for his "rich dog" persona as acting out as a rich dog is the only way a doomsday cult (which he and the Walang Payat Gang, composed of Paltik, Joma, and Utoy, were investigating) would recruit him into their fold. ["Kulto", Pugad Baboy 9]
* Ka Buhayan - a guise that appears in a strip series which reminds readers that one doesn't have to rely on the government for a person's success; some entrepreneurial skills and nearby natural resources will do. The two farmers in that series initially mistook him for "Kamatayan" (Death, i. e. The Grim Reaper). ["Ka Buhayan", PB13]
* Dr. Sigmund Floyd - a spoof of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. He is a psychiatrist who treats his patients using sarcasm. Two of his patients were Dagul (for his xenophobia) and Bab (for his "incurable laziness"). ["Psychiatrist", PB13] Later appearances showed him without his mullet. ["Dr. Sigmund Floyd", 18 eighteen]
* Polstradamus - a spoof of Nostradamus. He is a seer who makes very grim but very true predictions. ["Polstradamus", 17]
* Darth Paul - a spoof of Darth Maul. He appears basically as a gimmick in "promoting" "" alongside Debbie as "Pigme Amidala" and Brosia as "Sar-Sar Biks" ("sar" is short for "asar", which, fittingly enough for Brosia's personality, is the Filipino term for "annoy"). ["Star Wars", 18 eighteen]
* The Polisher - a spoof of The Punisher. This guise initially appears as a shoeshine boy cum notary public who advises Igno to check on the background of Igno's clients, Napoleon and Alexander Ang, before the ex-convict bounty hunter could proceed with his mission. The Polisher reveals his true self after throwing a flaming can of shoe polish at some goons to save Igno and his "target" Rudolf Cruz. He also coins his alternate name The Publisher after revealing to Igno that he also "published" Medina's compilations. ["", Pugad Baboy Sunday Comics]
* Horatio Canine - a spoof of Horatio Caine, the lead character of "". He suddenly appears when Tiny discovered that somebody bit into her chocolate bar. He then tells her what can be done to "catch" whoever munched on the said bar. [This guise appeared in a strip published in 2007, and has not yet been seen in any compilation published as of this time.]
