Well thanks to all for your opinions on Malibu's colour schemes. Some interesting ideas there but for the moment I'll use this here green.

Stealth Malibu is, to me, the fourth type of comic secret agent.
Austin Powers is good and he knows it.
Frank Drebin is bad but thinks he's good.
Johnny English is bad and he knows it.
Stealth Malibu is good but thinks he's bad.

You could probably argue these opinions but the point is that Agent Malibu's outlandish claims and ill conceived actions usually end up working, but only when nobody's really looking so everybody, Malibu included, believes he's just messed something else up. Not too easy to explain but I have come up with a few specific jokes that I think explain it better.

His "gimmick" is that, despite being a secret agent he's not always that secret about it. This can be seen in the clear divide between secret and obvious in his name, clothing and car.

Stealth Malibu Disasters:

LEVEL 1: Silent Objective:
Malibu whips out his SUPER SILENCER and attaches it to his gun before firing a shot at his opponent (which will momentarily stun them) but the effectiveness of the silencer is apparent when it makes no sound whatsoever. At this point, Stealth believes it to not be working and bangs on the gun several times, unaware that with each strike another shot is being fired, before eventually tossing the silencer away in dismissal.

LEVEL 2: Toothfaker: More gadgets this time as Agent Malibu presents...a toothbrush. As he puts his head in his hand in disappointment the toothbrush transforms into a heavy duty laser which fires a powerful beam before Stealth looks up again and tosses the toothbrush away.

LEVEL 3: ?????

I AM AMUSED.

Also I like the color scheme for the maracas much better.

I know, it was a tough decision, but as some people have suggested I might draw him in different shirts from time to time.

I see what you were going for with this fourth kind of action hero, but his special attacks seem to fall under the Drebin style of action more than they strike me as this new type you describe. Very amusing, though. I'd much rather watch a cartoon about him than some penguins and ice creams.

It will probably come as little surprise that my knowledge of The Naked Gun is far less than any of the others.
I had thought of an instance where Malibu is called in to see the Prime Minister and upon entering his office leaps across the table and knocks the brandy glass out of his hand claiming that "the wine was poisoned" only for the PM to scold him and force his butler to drink the remaining brandy to prove it's safety.
He does so, nothing happens and Malibu looks dejected before continuing the conversation. The butler, of course, starts wretching and collapses in the background without anybody noticing. This might be exactly the kind of thing that happens in the Naked Gun films but I just haven't seen enough of them to know for sure and my impressions of them are probably different from the truth.

Well thankyou for your help in deciding the colours, too!
