敏锡豪森男爵 / Baron Munchausen
敏锡豪森男爵 is presented in 157.吹牛大王历险记:叔本华、扒马褂和超级英雄 as both a historical German nobleman with military experience and the fictional narrator of [[AdventuresOfBaronMunchausen|《吹牛大王历险记》]]. The episode stresses that the comic force comes from his cool, objective, modest-sounding narration of impossible events.
In the source, the Baron becomes a durable motif more than a normal character. Pulling himself out of a mire, riding cannonballs, catching and returning enemy shells, traveling to the moon, and surviving impossible hunting episodes all make him a carrier of Absurd Rationality, Munchausen Self-Bootstrapping, and eventually Superhero Tall-Tale Continuity.
