The character of Gligarman was invented by Mr. Parker so he could build up business for his shop. By acting as Gligarman, and then creating figurines, toys, and other merchandise items he was able to sell these to the people living in his town who had grown fond of their local superhero. To help fight crime, Mr. Parker (as Gligarman) uses his Pokémon {{p|Gligar}} and his "Gligar Cycle". Reminiscent of other, real-world superheroes, Mr. Parker has a secret hideout—the Gligarcave—hidden under his mansion. Although once extremely in shape, Gligarman's age has caught up with him and he has become noticeably more tubby. This has led to difficulties in acting as Gligarman. | The character of Gligarman was invented by Mr. Parker so he could build up business for his shop.

Mr. Parker was first shown in his Gligarman and, without revealing his true identity, he helped to save {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} from [[Team Rocket]]. {{Ash}} and friends later encounter him in his toy shop, and Mr. Parker has to try and hide his identity. Togepi's liking for the shop owner hints that they may have encountered previously, and Mr. Parker almost gives the game away by using Misty's name. After some probing questions, Mr. Parker and his daughter, [[Latoya Parker|Latoya]] confess and take the trio back to their mansion. It is here revealed that Mr. Parker's declining fitness is forcing him to retire. He has Ash in mind as his replacement, but following another intervention by Team Rocket a new masked figure saves the day: Gligirl, who is actually Latoya. The town has a new hero now, and Gligarman is able to hang up his cape and return to his ordinary life as Mr. Parker. | Mr. Parker was first shown in his Gligarman costume and, without revealing his true identity, he helped to save {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} from [[Team Rocket]]. {{Ash}} and friends later encounter him in his toy shop, and Mr. Parker has to try and hide his identity.
