Fred appears in Disney's 2014 animated film Big Hero 6, voiced by T.J. Miller.[3][4] In the film, he is depicted as a laid-back comic book fan who works as the mascot at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Speaking of Miller, co-director Chris Williams said "He's a real student of comedy. There are a lot of layers to his performance, so Fred ended up becoming a richer character than anyone expected."[4][5][6][7] In the film, Fred has a suit built for him by Hiro which resembles a giant lizard and allows him to leap great distances and shoot fire. During the movie Fred's friends learn that he is actually incredibly wealthy, and he provides the secret base (his huge house), financial support, and necessary training for them to become superheroes. In the post-credits scene, Fred accidentally opens a secret door in his home, in which he finds superhero costumes and equipment. Fred then finds out these belong to his father (voiced by Stan Lee and animated in his likeness), a retired superhero, when he unexpectedly returns from his vacation. As they embrace each other, he says that he and Fred have much to talk about.

Television

Fred appears in Big Hero 6: The Series, with the character voiced by Brooks Wheelan.[8] In the first episode, "Baymax Returns", Fred reveals his full name as Frederick Frederickson IV. He pushes the team to continue crime fighting.[9]
