Green Man is a mascot invented by Charlie Kelly. He wears a green Lycra outfit, white socks, and black Vans sneakers.
Green Man was used by Charlie first in high school. Mac mentioned that Green Man was the mascot that nobody wanted, seeing as Charlie would get wasted before running onto the high school football field dressed as Green Man. Charlie believes that people love Green Man and he feels very strongly about it himself. This is shown when he states that "it got me through some tough times". However, Charlie is the only member of the Gang who likes Green Man, aside from Frank (who responded excitedly when the Green Man outfit was brought up).
The first time, Charlie was reluctant to bring out the Green Man and only does so because he has taken acid. Later Charlie began to take Green Man much more seriously as a mascot and even challenged the Philly Phrenetic (Phanatic) for mascot rights at the World Series. Charlie also tries to make Green Man famous by dancing in Dee's YouTube videos dressed as Green Man.
