Heya! (this is Zapped, btw) I have a question! What would a Muddled!Dante, Toby, and Victor be like?
HI EL!! 👋
OOOOOHHH interesting 👀 lets see... (first time answering questions this way lol)
● DANTE: I like to think that dante wont change so much actually lol, he is not evil but also not a good person, "neutral" lets say
His personality would be the same: chaotic, funny, making jokes, and a littleee moooore empathetic than Phillyps from the show. Hehe 😅. The only thing it could change is that he would be more responsible with his work 🤣 and he would be a little more firm in time-shifting events that Phillyps and Phil wouldn't let him resolve (and that the original Dante would either forget or postpone until he finally does it, unless it was an event that was supposed to happen)
Example: In the episode Back to the Past of Future Balls, Dante had to sabotage the creation of the time machine since it was an event that wasn't supposed to happen. He went with both Phil and Phillyps separately, using arguments about helping the heroes or preventing them from changing the past so that evil would still be in that dimension (neutral 🤷♀️) Neither of them allowed it because it would interfere with the missions of both sides
Until finally, everything ended and they changed time several times, he was finally able to destroy the machine, but it was too late, at least for him. The poor guy was already tired and didn't want any more paperwork than what this caused (he got even a little there, hehe😅).
Muddle Dante would try to convince them anyway, but Seeing their refusal, he would simply go to the dimension and destroy it in the same time and he wouldn't care about being discovered (the original doesn't care about being discovered either, to be honest, but he didn't want to put up with the "hypocritical scoldings" of the brothers)
●TOBY:
It should be noted that Toby comes from a planet where proving to be strong, a good fighter, weapons expert or combat strategic is paramount there (similar to Rippen's planet where being a villain is) no matter what side you are on (hero or villain, even neither) as long as you prove to be capable you will have respect or a great status for that even if your job is not related to it.
Example: one can have very sharp eyesight and be an excellent sniper... but if his real job is to be an animator lol, he would still have respect
The original Toby is an expert in hand-to-hand combat and strategy due to his life (living on the streets). Mudled Toby might also know this, but he's not as experienced, having a slightly more comfortable life (but not weak). Although the original Toby hates any living being and life itself out of resentment (I could explain that in a more detailed future post), Toby loves animals and creatures. He sees them as innocent beings who only follow their instincts, and they were the only beings who had compassion for him when he was young.
On the other hand, Toby Muddle wouldn't like animals very much (not so much as to the point of kicking them like the original Victor 😭) or he would have a more neutral reaction to them. If he would be a hero, most likely not. He would have a normal life, a stable place, family, and a decent job, a simple life that the original young Toby would have longed to have 😔 (too bad 😈)
He wouldn't have known Victor since he was young, but in the present day when Victor Muddled passed by his planet to learn more about his species
●VICTOR: Original Victor's family is horrible. He never knew them because his uncle, who was a full-time villain (and enemy of the first hero Phillyps hired), kidnapped him, initially as revenge for being the black sheep of his family, but he quickly grew to genuinely love him (he never regretted kidnapping him when he found out shortly after that his family would mistreat him just as they had mistreated him) and Victor also he has great appreciation for his uncle 🥰
Unlike Rippen and Penn, who are heroes and villains due to circunstances, approval, tradition, or having no choice, Victor chose to be one without being forced into it. Evil ran through his veins after all😈, but from then on, he would hesitate between being one or dedicating himself to science. He would then choose to be both, a scientist with six doctorates (one in evil 🔥) and respected by his colleagues as a cover, using it to his advantage to get away with breaking the law by being “useful,” and a full-time villain recognized as one of the most dangerous for his intellect.
Muddle Victor... there would be changes in his background, his uncle would now be a hero but his family would be just as horrible, his uncle would rescue him from a kidnapping without knowing he was his nephew, upon finding out who he was, he would return him because it was “the right thing to do.” 🤦♀️
Victor Muddle would have a worse childhood, he would be the new scapegoat of the family, he would grow up with more resentment, He would move in with his uncle after being kicked out of his home, and from then on, the story would unfold as in the original until he discovered what his uncle had done. Seeking revenge, knowing that his family was evil and yet leaving him with them, he would use them as guinea pigs to modify their DNA with samples he collected from different alien species, modifying them without any limits or moral ethics and using them as decoys for his misdeeds while he still studies them for his future plans (they kinda deserve it 😀)
In short, Victor Muddle would be more resentful and would not have a parental figure whom he would respect and therefore, unlike the original, the most positive feeling (besides putting up with someone) would be respect and loving the only person who would be his uncle. He would not have respect for anyone and would not love because he did not know what the feeling was
