Moltar

Moltar is the lava man character on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, an animated talk show on Cartoon Network. He is voiced by C. Martin Croker, who also voices the character Zorak. Moltar appears six times on the 1966 Hanna-Barbera cartoon Space Ghost and Dino Boy as one of Space Ghost's arch enemies. He is captured, along with Zorak and the cat-alien Brak, by Space Ghost to work on his late-night talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

He wears a containment suit and is happily married to a woman named Linda. He is from the planet Moltor and has attempted (sometimes successfully) to escape Ghost Planet on several occasions. His father was a professional wrestler who regularly fought against Leonard Ghostal, the grandfather of Space Ghost. 

In the original Space Ghost show, he is known as "the lord of the mighty ovens that can incinerate any and all foes." After his capture by Space Ghost and subsequent employment in Space Ghost Coast to Coast, he is given the job of director and producer. He apparently carries out his duties through the use of a joystick, which seemingly controls all aspects of the show. He and Zorak frequently make fun of Space Ghost for his ineptitude, and likewise are frequently blasted by Space Ghost's powerbands.

Moltar is a big fan of CHiPs and Erik Estrada. When Erik finally appears on the show, Moltar makes up a list of questions for Space Ghost to ask him. Moltar similarly creates questions for William Shatner in his time on the show.

Moltar has a contentious relationship with both Space Ghost and Zorak. In the episode "Chinatown," Space Ghost "trades" Moltar to a Japanese baseball team for a producing dog named Rags, former Major League Baseball players Mookie Wilson, Omar Moreno, and a bag of cats. Moltar was the host of Toonami in its early days as a CGI character, introducing programming from his control room at "Ghost Planet Industries" (the fictional location where Space Ghost Coast to Coast was supposedly "filmed"). He was eventually superceded as the host of Toonami by TOM.
