Johnny Test: Power Up! - Villains
Hey, starlets! After expanding the spinoff idea with the main characters and introducing the side characters, it's time to introduce the other side of the spectrum, also known as: THE VILLAINS!
Although many having different motives from something silly to outright sinister. And similar to some supervillain groups, the villains will be in rotation, in order to spice things up and cause trouble for our heroes.
Let's start things off with the list of the bad guys and gals with:
Dark Vegan will be a combination between the original and the revival. Even though he may be the destroyer of planets in some galaxies, in the galaxy, where Lumina is, he's seen as a total joke in comparison to some, since there are even more dangerous threats out there. It didn't help, that his family, including his daughter Jillian, who also got teleported to Lumina, are slowly adapting to the planet and even making new friends. He blamed this on Johnny, even though he and the bad guys can't remember a particular incident, when they got teleported there. (In fact, in the beginning, NONE of the returning characters, who are involved in that incident, not even Johnny, Dukey and the twins, remember that incident) So of course, he would try to destroy him, but considering that he has a very aggressive snail, who wouldn't go down without a fight, a fairy, who would blast him with her spells and robot, who has better technology than him, it's gonna be difficult, unless he had to adapt himself with Luminian technology. (In which SPOILER ALERT: He would do that)
Brain Freezer would be a mix between the original and the revival. (In fact, most of them are like hybrids of the two versions, with some new things added). His design will be left slightly unchanged. Since he decided to learn about Luminian technology and combined it with his own, he became a slightly bigger threat. But only by a fraction. However, there is something, that has been troubling his mind. Like remember the episode, where Johnny helped him out? Well, initially he became reformed, but for some unknown reason, he became evil again. I have a theory, that could potentially be explored in this spinoff. However, he decided to keep it as secret, even to his brethren and even to Johnny. Like most of the returning bad guys, he would bounce between a campy rival to Johnny to a villain. That depends on the whatever situation. Another thing is, he would become best friends with Zizrar, due to having similar experiences. In fact, I could imagine them in some funny antics, but in the end, despite the differences, their friendship would remain strong. (I was inspired by @rominadrawsart15 and her version of Brain Freezer. She does an amazing job of expanding him.)
Mr. Mittens would be left slightly unchanged to the original and revival versions, but of course combined into one. One new thing to add, is because there are anthropomorphic cats in Lumina, he would try to recruit them. Some of them refuse (in fact, those who refused, would become allies to Johnny and the others, much to Dukey's annoyance. But Schalot's too excited, because that dude is a cat enthusiast.) However, some cats, who are down on their luck would accept his help, because they had no other option. Anyways, much like Dark Vegan, he would be compared as a total joke, since once again, there are more menacing threats out there, with one of them being a very muscular panther, who's the boss of an evil organisation. Much like the returning bad guys, he would bounce between rival and enemy, depending on the situation. The scar would remain from the revival, along with him being a bit fluffier.
Albert would basically left unchanged, other than the fact, that he would basically be a combo between original and revival. His outfit would be slightly enhanced to make it look a bit more regal. There's not much to say about him, since I don't know much about him. The only new addition, I could give him, is perhaps his interactions towards the new characters. Like he would act like a grandpa towards Serena sometimes for example. (If you have anything to add about Albert, comment down below.)
Zizrar would remain unchanged, but because he was teleported to an unknown galaxy, along with his mole people, who are all MALE, they had to fend off for their survival, while also learning about the new universe. After reuniting with Brain Freezer and his pals, he would slowly adapt to and much like him, Zizrar would bounce between playful rival to a silly threat. Even Schalot would be really annoyed by his loud and flamboyant personality, but that's due to him having a different personality. One new thing to add, is he and his people would encounter a different encounter of mole people, who they're all female. The difference is, the girls are strong warriors with a strong sense for justice. However, they don't see Zizrar and his men as threats, but rather as tiny, yet annoying nuisances. It will develop throughout the series. Anyway, he would also became best friends with Brain Freezer, due to them sharing similar experiences. However, much like Brain Freezer, he would also have an inner conflict, regarding of his relation to Johnny and the others, because of the past.
By the way, after looking back at the original series, a bit of discussion and some reconsideration, I decided not to bring Whacko and the Tickler back for various reasons:
They're problematic. Given with their goals, if they're brought back nowadays, it wouldn't take long till the internet would go insane. Especially politics (which personally, I try to avoid).
They're not well known and loved. It's understandable, since the original did made them really repetitive and annoying. Which is a bit of a shame, since if Whacko comes back, with some changes, he would be a legitimate villain.
But alas, some things have to be sacrificed for a better quality and experience.
With my thoughts out of the way, it's time to introduce:
Mind you, the most of the new villains would be one off ones ranging from a robot clown, an alien tycoon, a group of thugs to powerful conquerors. Some of them would help out the bad guys from Porkbelly and some of them would do things on their own. Heck, at one point, evil versions of the main characters or even one or multiple corrupted main characters would be the focus on some situations. However, one of the stands out from the rest with the biggest potential to be the biggest threat of our heroes and the entire universe:
Vipra (VA: Kathleen Barr) is known as the "Empress of Evil" and she lives up for her role, due to her ruthless, cunning and menacing demeanor. Her design can he described as a tall alien woman with red snake eyes, a black bodysuit, some silver armor, a braided hairstyle, that resembles snakes, sharp fangs, killer boots, a slick, sharp tail and silver stiletto nails. Inspired by Trakeena, Astronema (minus the redemption arc) and Queen Chrysalis, her personality can be described as a mysterious, cold, intelligent, yet sinister and a bit sadistic. She is the leader of a very big army of monsters and giant creatures, bent for intergalactic conquest and bringing pain and despair to every single galaxy, she invades. Unlike most of the villains, she will always remain in the shadows, watching everything unfold and manipulate small things, until the perfect moment would arrive to strike big time.
Terios (VA: Mark Acheson) is Vipra's second in command, who's specialised in hand to hand combat, along with mastery in weapons. He is described as a dark knight with his own code of honour, meaning that he can't finish off someone weaker than him and instead waited for them to get stronger or even find someone, who's worthy for the real fight. As for his design, he would have a dark silver armor with green accents, a tall yet strong build, glowing green eyes, scales around his body, gradient horns with the tips being darker, that are placed on his head and back and his face being obscured by a metal mask. Despite being on the side of evil, he is very loyal to Vipra and would do anything to protect her.
Kit (VA: Brenda M Crichlow) is Vipra's general and is a cosmic black alien with multiple tails, like a kitsune fox, a red gem on her ear and feline-like yellow eyes. She is known as the smartest being in the universe and would develop strategies for Vipra and her army to defeat the heroes and conquer galaxies. She is also known for also being a powerful mage with dangerous spells in her arsenal.
There will also a few people in Vipra's army, aside from her henchmen, like a pair of brothers, named Bink (VA: Ian Hantlin) and Bonker (VA: Peter New), who will be the comic relief duo and the ones, scouting on missions and such. Unlike Vipra and the others, they're more bumbling morons.
And that's all the returning and new villains for the spinoff project. Of course, some concepts will change in the future to be more refined and fit to the series, while also bringing new stuff with them. With the characters out of the way, the next post about this spinoff project will be about world building and infos about the galaxy, Lumina's currently in.
