The Other Blutoes Bluto has been around for many decades, and dozens of creators have given us their interpretation of the character. On this page, you'll find descriptions of the other incarnations of Popeye's nemesis. |

Segar "Bluto The Terrible" appeared
in only one tale by The Master, "The Eighth Sea." And believe
it or not, it had nothing to do with winning Olive Oyl. Bluto was a mean, evil, super tough
pirate who gave Popeye a fight to remember and caused our hero to have to use
his potentially fatal "Twisker Sock." |

Fleischer
Brothers Bluto's earliest appearances in animated
cartoons portrayed him as a rough, gruff, mean bully. He relied more on
physical strength than on guile. Later, his appearance, voice, and
mannerisms began to be softened a little. Eventually, he became almost
jovial, as he was in the earliest W.W.II era Famous Studios' cartoons.
As Popeye did in the Fleischer toons, Bluto would often mutter to himself. |

KFS Bluto
was called Brutus in these cartoons and was more of a slob. He
obviously had quit his membership in the health club and was flabbier than he
had been in the Famous Studios' toons. He also had a meaner, darker
visage. Oh, occasionally he could be charming, but more often was loud
and overbearing. He was still diabolically clever, though. |

Bluto was an unmemorable, unpleasant character. |
|
Hanna-Barbera Bluto had a dumb
sounding voice and certainly wasn't handsome. He never seemed like he
should have been as much a threat to Popeye as he was. |
