Calling All Villians

He is a charismatic but unstable man with a television for a head, driven by a complicated and lonely past that fuels his obsession with fame and socializing. Despite his charm, neurotic behavior, and indecisiveness, he wreaks havoc and commits various crimes like a villain, including in the Western digital world, which has left one girl lifelong scarred. All this is fueled by a relentless pursuit of self-gratification, even manipulating friendships for his own gain. Burdened by guilt over his numerous reprehensible actions and labeled Public Enemy Number One, Mr. Puzzle goes into exile in an unfamiliar world, unsure of what he wants to become in the future. Years later, a disoriented Mr. Puzzle permanently abandons his long-held obsessions with fame, celebrity status, forgiveness, false friendships, and media domination, while committing one truly good deed. Left without a clear purpose or ambition, he faced a crisis over his future. Just when things seemed hopeless, fate intervened, granting him and the WPNZ an invitation to a prestigious villain tournament offering a chance at redemption. Along with the WPNZ and a new group of quirky, villainous allies, they set out to compete against the universe's most vile and despicable villains for the coveted title of the next big bad. He faced a final choice: continue his villainous ways in pursuit of power or truly become a better person, as his fake friend had always dreamed. He wears a white shirt with long, puffy sleeves and a dark gray vest, a red bow tie, black puzzle-patterned pants, and suspenders with puzzle-patterned buttons. He also wears white gloves that resemble rubber hoses and black and white shoes.

Mr. Puzzle is a tall television presenter. His head is a vintage 1970s CRT television with a few buttons and two dials. He wears a small black bowler hat with two protruding antennas: a straight right one and a curved left one, as well as the "Puzzlevision" logo at the bottom. His face is replaced by a screen with eyes positioned asymmetrically. One eye has eyelashes, while the other does not. His right eye is blue, while his left eye is purple-black. Six of his teeth are colored yellow, cyan, green, pink, red, and blue, reminiscent of the SMPTE color bands. Mr. Puzzle has a long and complicated history with SMG4. He is depicted as a flamboyant and unstable sociopath obsessed with fame and recognition, who often uses manipulation and psychological abuse to achieve his goals in the entertainment industry, disregarding the pain he causes others. His obsession with achieving a "five-star rating" reduces people to mere tools, and his lack of self-confidence leads to outbursts of aggression when things don't go his way. His lonely childhood, marred by his father's indifference and the absence of true friendships, led to his addiction to television, culminating in an act of self-mutilation where he replaced his head with a television. After numerous failures and a stint in prison, Mr. Puzzle begins to realize that behind his obsession with fame lies a deeper desire: to make friends. However, his neurotic nature and manipulative tendencies prevent him from forming genuine connections, leading him to betray those who care about him, becoming not only the disgrace of the Mushroom Kingdom and Public Enemy Number One, but also the personification of a menace to society, the worst possible outcome, and the worst person in the entire SMG4 universe. Feeling genuine remorse for his actions and a desperate desire to make amends, he tries to rewrite his past, although

A former assassin who carried out brutal missions fell in love with a young anthropomorphic cat named Katana (she later changed her name to "Karen"). After breaking up with her, he began to yearn for his family, especially wanting his children to see him as a "cool and fun" father. After his final divorce from his wife due to his past actions that harmed her family, he met Mr. Puzzle, who offered him an alliance and friendship. However, after Puzzle broke him out of prison, a strong bond developed between him and Thump, and Puzzle believed he had finally found a friend. But he betrayed him to portray himself as a hero, a betrayal that enraged the cyborg assassin and left him thirsty for revenge, but at the same time, Puzzle realized the strength of their bond. Ultimately, after a chase and battle across time and space, Mr. Puzzle admitted his guilt and expressed regret for betraying their friendship for someone else, leading to a sincere reconciliation. When they (and the Glitch Gang along with them) encountered a time-consuming anomaly, the two friends decided to seal it from the inside, realizing they might not return, and Puzzle bid farewell to Maggie. WPNZ's ex-wife reflected on his sacrifice, shedding tears for the man she once loved. After their self-imposed exile, she and Puzzle separated after the rift closed, presumably ending up in different locations. Several years later, he builds a memorial to his friend, piling up (likely stolen) televisions and carving his face into the wall with the words "RIP Puzzle," along with a chainsaw-powered "Funeral March" in memory of Puzzle, who is known to be stranded in another universe. As he walks away from the memorial, a symbol calls out to him from the pile of televisions, and he answers the call.

He appears to be a rather bulky, almost shark-like humanoid cyborg with sharp, serrated teeth, yellow, cat-like eyes that turn red when he's extremely angry or experiencing any strong emotions, such as sadism, legs that function as blasters, unusual black straps with silver buckles and a special strap for each leg (with some scratches on the amplifiers from the years he's had them), and metal arms, with his left arm being a large cuff and equipped with spiked joints that can detach and act independently, which can transform into various weapons, such as pistols, chainsaws, and flamethrowers. His entire body is studded with a variety of weapons. He also wears a white shirt, a gray jacket and matching pants, a knife-like tie, glasses resembling disused turrets, armored shoulder pads and leggings, and robotic gloves, the left of which is larger than the right and has spikes on the knuckles that can be controlled by thought, remote control, through a proxy, or some other means. His fingertips have holes through which he can fire projectiles.
Mr. WPNZ comes across as charismatic, self-assured, and at times kind. However, in reality, he is a hot-tempered, sociopathic, ruthless, reckless, sadistic, and bloodthirsty killer who enjoys killing and inflicting pain. He may have had a genuinely warm relationship with Karen, but it was clearly built on mutual sadism until she left him to raise her children, as he only cared for others if they were powerful in his eyes. He was also unfaithful to Karen, abandoning her after the birth of their three children, whom he viewed as soldiers and his "weapons." At first, he seemed to care for the children and wanted to build a relationship with them.

However, this may be a manifestation of his ingrained tendency to play the role of a ruthless killer, which he has played for many years. This assumption is supported by his obvious distress when Mr. Puzzle offered to erase his memories of his family, as well as his reflections on the events surrounding his children, of whom he remains proud, as they have learned so much from him. Furthermore, he expresses remorse for his behavior toward Karen and the children. Mr. WPNZ has a complex and emotionally charged relationship with Mr. Puzzle, marked by manipulation, shared hardships, and an unexpected friendship that strengthens over time. Initially, WPNZ "befriends" Puzzle, who offers him to forget about his family in exchange for his release from prison, then manipulates him into becoming part of his devious plan for redemption. After escaping prison, WPNZ agrees to assist Puzzle in a kidnapping, driven by his own feelings and the hope of freedom. However, as Mr. WPNZ grows closer, he begins to question his decision to erase his family memories, realizing that these experiences give his life meaning, and that trying to forget them will only lead to self-deception. After Mr. WPNZ's betrayal, Mr. Puzzle reflects on his actions and realizes that his attempts to reconcile with him by rewriting his past were in fact merely a way to numb his guilt over being blinded by fame and creative control his entire life.

Pink Something resembles what her villainous name implies... a small, pale pink rodent mixed with an axolotl. She has four ears, each with a deeper pink tip, which are very mobile and quite revealing of her emotions. She has small, sleek bangs, and her hair is pulled back into a sort of ponytail with rounded strands. She wears large, pink-framed glasses on her nose. She has a small, black nose, and without the glasses, her eyes are small and completely black. Her fingers have rounded pads, a richer color than her fur, and she has sharp teeth. She also has a tail that ends in a third paw with a striped, black hand warmer. She wears a spiky cardboard bracelet on her wrist, and a black, fingerless glove. She wears a black coat with a skull-shaped belt buckle, cardboard shoulder pads, and high boots. Her costume appears to be homemade. She runs on all fours and, when frightened or excited, makes a funny squeak similar to that of a squeaky toy. She is a studious, nerdy bookworm who tries to act like a "tough guy," but despite her best efforts, she fails miserably. She also seems to relish the prospect of committing evil. A certified nerd and amateur villain, she uses her books to figure out how best to deal with her victims (such as "How to Kill" and "The Big Book of Villainy," as well as books on epic villainy). However, she gets so caught up in her quirks that she can waste too much time and let her victims get away. The Pink Thing also enjoys collecting injuries from villains, like when she asked the Big Bad to hit her with a cane. Her real name is Carol, and the Pink Thing is a villainous alias she came up with.

A huge, copper-red demon robot with a square body, three-pronged plates at the first joints of its limbs, and a body wrapped in chains. Its head is located in the middle of its body, with black sclera and green pupils. Its mouth is a lattice, and its head also has four horns—one on top and one on the bottom. Its limbs are perfectly symmetrical, its paws with sharp, long claws. Its shoulder pads are rectangular, with a sword protruding from the left and several arrows from the right. The shoulder pads have three spikes, holding a black, tattered cloak. If the Lord General raises his shoulder pads, his body can spin like a wheel. A giant, a dangerous beast in his late thirties, he strives to be as cruel, merciless, and evil as possible, like a villainous wrestler. Despite this, he secretly harbors a weakness for anything that brings him joy.
He loves food, especially macaroni and cheese.
Terrible thoughts make him calm down.

A tall, humanoid robotic praying mantis, resembling a ninja, in bright green armor with a black waist, black leg armor at mid-thigh, red goggles, a green, wide-brimmed hat with a single feather, and bright green boots with black tips that taper to a point. She has black spikes on her sides, like the legs of praying mantises, covered in a variety of stickers. She also wields a long, sharp sword, and under her hat, she has antennae like other insects. She has a white mask on her face, small, sharp black shoulder pads, black shoulders, and long, bright green, sharp, childish gloves with black hems, widening toward the elbows. These gloves also have spikes and are covered in cute stickers.
Armed with a long, sharp katana with a black handle, a jagged, bright green blade with several serrations.
She doesn't speak at all, either she's mute or she doesn't see the importance of it.
She's calm and doesn't come across as someone who constantly needs attention. She has a dangerous reputation. Despite her cutesy details, she's perceived as a serious and very cool villain. At times, she displays excellent humor through her gestures and a touch of humor.
But despite her stern appearance and fighting style, she seems to love all sorts of cute stickers: a purple sticker with the inscription "Teamwork", a purple bunny, "Space grafts", and the like.

An elderly skeleton with a long beard, one eye, and a crown. He wears a dark purple cloak with skull-shaped shoulder pads, spikes on his back, and green slippers, as well as a prosthetic left leg. He also wields a cane made from his own left leg, with a skull on the handle. A kind but eccentric elderly skeleton who loves adventure and mischief. Although his stiff gait and raspy laugh betray his age, he remains cheerful and full of life. However, when no one is watching, he can be much more sinister.

Robotic skeletons with a spring-connected head and a purple glow emanating from within. Their eyes are purple, with the right eye resembling a vent and the left eye a lens. They have an antenna that can resemble a tail, ending in a demonic ornament. On their back is a black battery with purple details and the same symbol as the antenna.
They carry out any order given by the Big Bad, and after fulfilling their purpose, they suddenly say in a low voice, "PURPOSE COMPLETED," and explode.

The Big Bad's ship is a giant, four-fingered, purple skeletal hand shaped like a rhombus dodecahedron, dark gray in color. The upper arm terminates in a base shaped like a Victorian castle with multiple turrets extending outward. At the top is another "mini-castle," wider and bearing the Big Bad's logo. This likely houses the quarters of the S-ranked teams and the Big Bad himself. The entire ship is painted dark purple and dark gray.
The ship is capable of supersonic travel and is likely powered by the cores of planets destroyed by the crews.
The ship houses the "Evil Dorm," a team dormitory with a room for each team and segmented iron doors shaped like horns. The interior: immediately to the left of the entrance is a kitchen with gray cabinetry, a coffee maker, a microwave, and numerous drawers. To the right is a small shoe cabinet. In the living room, to the left, is a sofa with a spiked back, in front of which sits a TV with a player underneath. Next to the sofa, 3-4 meters away, is a pink and green table with six horned chairs in the same color scheme as the table. A yellow carpet covers the floor, and spine-shaped reinforcements extend from the ceiling to all corners. Various "evil" motivational paintings hang on the walls. The room is decorated in purple, yellow, and blue, and has windows along the ceiling.
There is also a shooting range on the Ship.

The challenge involves 312 villains, divided into 52 teams of 6 participants.
Each team is given a challenge each day: conquer a planet chosen by the Big Bad or steal a valuable artifact. They must also do so within a certain time limit. If the team fails, everyone is eliminated—meaning the entire team dies.
Criteria:
Mission accomplished
Cool intro
Villainous Song
And you can't hide.
And other small stuff
One team wins, but Odin will become the new big bad out of the entire team.
After the first challenge, 141 villains remained, and 171 were eliminated. Even though the team of heroes received a "Z" rank, the Big Bad saw potential in them and decided to keep them.
Each villain has a pager that vibrates and makes a sound called "Missy Time", the pager itself is small, square, the edges are black, the middle is gray, with a black logo of the Big Bad - a skull with sharp teeth, no lower jaw, evil eyes and spikes on top, forming a crown.

Dave was a yellow robot with wild, lightning-shaped hair and sharp teeth, glasses, and clock hands for eyebrows. He also had two tool-shaped hands: one a wrench, the other a hammer. On his back, he carried an oxygen tank with two red, ball-shaped antennas forming a zigzag lightning bolt. He wore a white, long-sleeved shirt with spots and the words "DON'T TALK TO ME" written on it, a brown belt with a gold D, and wooden prosthetic legs that resembled screwdrivers. He was sloppy and rude, with a rather short temper. He was the first to die, trying to kill the Big Bad.

The team's first mission was to Arigam-3, where they had to obtain the Sacred Pencil - a golden pencil, and whatever you write with it will instantly come true.
The pencil was originally wielded by the Paper King, now dead, who was killed by Mr. Puzzle in the final minutes of the challenge, snatching victory from the hands of fate.
The Big Bad took the pencil for his collection of artifacts.
