"The Coon" is the second episode of the thirteenth seasonof the American animated television series South Park. The 183rd episode of the series, it originally aired on Comedy Centralin the United States on March 18, 2009. In the episode, Cartmanposes as a superherovigilantenamed "The Coon", who grows increasingly jealous of the popularity and success of a rival superhero named "Mysterion". The episode was written and directed by series co-founder Trey Parker, and was rated TV-MAL in the United States. It was originally conceived as an episode about the economic recession, but those elements were later adapted into the future episode, "Margaritaville". " The Coon" generated a great deal of speculation about the true identity of Mysterion. Parker and Stone originally said there was no specific answer to the question. However, his identity is finally revealed in the fourteenth seasonepisode "Mysterion Rises". The episode parodied several dark-toned comic book films that had been recently released at the time, including The Spirit, Watchmenand The Dark Knight.
