Baymax
Baymax is the deuteragonist of Big Hero 6. A naive personal healthcare robot, he follows Hiro Hamada around to ensure his safety. Online, the Baymax Fist Bump and the robot's various catchphrases such as "On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your pain?" and "Are you satisfied with your care" have been parodied and deviated upon by the online community similar to Guardians of the Galaxy's Groot catchphrase, I am Groot.
