[edit] Tijuana Lucha Libre Gang
First appeared in Dia de Los Dangerous these mexican wrestlers tried to stop Brock Samson by attacking en masse.

[edit] Chupacabras
The chupacabras, or goat-sucker apperently thought Rusty was a goat. Brock quickly dispatches the creature with a quick throw of his trusty knife. The creature looks like it might be related to the Krampus. They're all over Mexico.

[edit] Chairman Wow
First appeared in Tag-Sale -- You're it!, Chairman Wow was a background character that was perusing the sale items at Dr. Venture's yard sale.
[edit] The Power Plug
This villain is more grounded than many of his fellows. Currently, he feels that the actualizing power he gains from his only creative outlet, villainy, is beginning to diminish. Getting beaten by Brock Samson is just not the charge it used to be. In Tag-Sale -- You're it!, he was a background character at the yard sale and a punching bag for Brock.
[edit] Rick Danger
Appeared in Tag-Sale -- You're it! as a background character during the Venture yard sale, he has one metal arm. Had a brief line in the episode: "Dick!", a call-out to another villain whom he mistakenly believed intentionally struck him. Has made several other background appearances, including one as a Stranger in The Trial of the Monarch and another as a former henchman in 21 and 24's therapy group in Powerless in the Face of Death.
[edit] Intangible Fancy
Unlike many of the background villains appearing in Tag-Sale -- You're it!, the Intangible Fancy had a line: "When the sun sleeps, wolves begin to howl." Was apparently detained by Mr. One after "testing the merchandise." He reappeared in Fallen Arches as an applicant for the Order of the Triad's archvillain. Unfortunately for him, he no longer has genitals. In The Revenge Society, the Council of Thirteen was trying him for smuggling contraband, with the potential sentence of beheading, when the proceedings were interrupted.
[edit] Green Goo Scientist
Also blessed with a single line this melted green guy with blue lab coat and boots threatened legal action in Tag-Sale -- You're it!.
[edit] Bearded Spectre

During the The Trial of The Monarch, while reading from The Flight of The Monarch, Stiv Bators, Lydia Lunch, Monstroso, and Jim Foetus were mentioned. Stiv Bators and Lydia Lunch are punk rock artists. Monstroso is massively huge and can fit around seven people in his lap alone. Jim Foetus is Jim Thirwell, who composed the music for The Venture Brothers, and has recorded under several monikers that include the word "Foetus" ("Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel," "You've Got Foetus On Your Breath," etc.)
[edit] King Gorilla
- See the main article: King Gorilla

[edit] Mecha-Mouth
A bandaged and goggled villain with a duck bill/bear trap mouth. He first appeared in Return to Spider-Skull Island.
[edit] Shameface
First appearing in Return to Spider-Skull Island, Shame face was a supervillain in prison, and part of a "scared straight" program, along with the Monarch. At one point in his criminal career, super heated plasma tanks blew up in his face, scarring him severely and irreperably. Is apparently Italian-American, judging from his accent.
[edit] Dr. Septapus
A balding super-villain with grey-streaked black hair and seven arms of flesh and blood, he enjoys wearing sunglasses. Currently deceased, he first appeared in Powerless in the Face of Death. He was fatally shot in the chest (his middle hand having missed the bullet) by Phantom Limb.
[edit] Mr. Monday
A monocled, smoking villain who was initially shown during Powerless in the Face of Death. He prefers Mondays over all other days and even tries to focus his plans around that particular day. Effeminate and attention-grabbing, Mr. Monday likes to use the expression "Monday-licious". He enjoys giving himself a goofy title when planning a criminal action (e.g. President of Calendars). Was similarly murdered by Phantom Limb. Mr. Monday is a parody of Calendar Man from the Early "Detective Comics". His character design is nearly identical to the classic Jonny Quest villain Heinrich vonFroelich from the episode "Shadow of the Condor".
[edit] Phantom of the Cineplex
In reality he was Old Man Johnson, who is just a jackass in a rubber mask. He was mentioned in Return to Spider-Skull Island during a tirade by Dr. Venture about Johnson's jackassery.
[edit] Tiny Joseph
- See the main article : Tiny Joseph
[edit] Tigerriffic
Villain who is known for his strength, especially for one incident in which he ripped an eye-witness news van in "twain". Unfortunately, all of his powers come from his suit. His orange hair is similar in style to Wolverine with body hair in stripes. He first appeared in Powerless in the Face of Death and is voiced by Paul Boocock.
[edit] White Noise
A racist ex-TV repairman who enjoys smoking, this villain appears to be made of TV static.

He was apparently murdered by the Phantom Limb.
[edit] Crime-o-dile
Mentioned in Powerless in the Face of Death during the henchmen support group. This Villain was apparently taken out by Captain Sunshine.
[edit] Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Nightmare Coat
A villain whose powers are unknown. He wears a Technicolor Nightmare Coat. He first appeared in Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny where it was revelaed that The Monarch was at one point one of his henchmen. He later appeared at Sergeant Hatred's party.
[edit] Sergeant Hatred
- See the main article: Sergeant Hatred
[edit] Manta Claus
Mentioned by Phantom Limb as an associate, Manta Claus is apparently someone he eats with frequently. He may have a grudge against Animus. The Monarch used to like him before he found out the claws were made from Sculpey and he used a little hidden scuba tank.
[edit] Truckules
A cross between Hercules and a tractor-trailer, he uses a golden tractor face and grill as a breastplate. Dr. Girlfriend used to number two for him and from him she learned how to hot wire anything. Despite being a supervillain, he was thoughful enough to register himself as a person with a guest at the Monarch's wedding, knowing that he would take up two seats.
[edit] Torrid
New fire-themed arch-enemy of The Order of the Triad. Apparently Australian in origin judging by his accent. Has numerous fire-based powers, including the ability to teleport objects with fire. Appears to suffer from gastrointestinal difficulties, which may be the cause of his frequent standing.
[edit] Curse
White-haired, staff-wielding wizard that has a red spider on his black hat. He applied to arch The Order of the Triad but was rejected as too easy. Appears to have lost his lower legs as a result of this brief fight.
[edit] Blackulas
Hunted by Jefferson Twilight, Blackulas are not African-American vampires, because there are no African-Americans in England (except for tourists). Thus, the preferred, albeit non-pc term, is Blackulas. Another term would be "vampires exploited due to racist humour". Blackulas are likely a parody of the 1970's blaxploitation films. It is also more likely a parody of the comic Blade, as the character Blade had a tendency to more commonly hunt Vampires of African descent.
I need to correct this entry. The "Blackula" term comes from the 1972 movie called.... you guessed it! BLACULA.
Here is a quote from IMDB:
"Interior decorators buy the coffin of an African prince bitten by Dracula centuries before and bring it back to Los Angeles. The African prince starts feeding his hunger while following a woman who looks like his departed wife."
It was basically a blaxploitation flick, with the added twist of vampirism thrown in.
One of it's tag lines were: "Blacula! - Dracula's Soul Brother!"
I hope that clears things up a bit.
[edit] Vain Gloria
A resident of Malice and a dinner guest at Sgt. Hatred's dinner party in Home Is Where the Hate Is. She mingled with Dr. Girlfriend, playing Hatred's party game of "Guess Whose Name I Have Stuck On My Back."
[edit] Manotaur
This Villain appears in Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny as a retired villain. The Monarch manages to put him on Phantom Limb's shit list. He is later seen in Now Museum - Now You Don't! as a member of The Fraternity of Torment.
[edit] Auntie Matter
A spinster that shape shifts. Dr. Girlfriend mentions her as one of their neighbors (Return to Malice).
[edit] Flying Squid
"He's pretty self-explanatory," says Dr. Girlfriend to Dr. Venture while they are sitting in the community of Malice (Return to Malice).
[edit] Dr. Schumpmaker
A super scientist who failed to register with the Guild of Calamitous Intent. For all intents and purposes, he is a mad scientist bent on creating a deadly stink bomb. S.P.H.I.N.X. is sent to take him out, and does so handily (Pinstripes & Poltergeists).
[edit] Henchmen and Servitors
[edit] Kikai
Kikai is Otaku's henchman and appeared alongside his master in The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay. In reward for his service, Otaku cured many ailments of Kikai with a few ninja-powered tosses of some acupuncture needles.
[edit] The Henchmen of The Monarch
The most famous henchmen are Number 21 and 24 who began in The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay. Speedy, who first appeared in Dia de Los Dangerous, was an up and coming henchmen until tangling with Brock Samson.
[edit] Li-Li
Li-Li is Roy E. Brisby's long time com-panda. Brisby uses the panda for her milk, which is a natural elixer and one of the rarest beverages in the world and to put him out when he comes aflame from sitting too close to the fireplace. Through circumstances in The Incredible Mr. Brisby Li-Li might now be back with her original owner, David Bowie. Brisby won Li-Li in a trivia contest with Bowie before the great trivia craze of the 1980's, to which Brisby notes "Bowie always was a trend setter".
[edit] Mandalay
- See the main article: Mandalay
Mandalay is Mr. Brisby's bodyguard in The Incredible Mr. Brisby. A large black man wearing a blue turban and a suit, Mandalay was unwilling to fight Brock over just a job-- once Brock aimed a nailgun at him.
[edit] The Baron's Manservant
Manservant to Baron Ünderbheit, he also first appeared in Home Insecurity. Manservant was a birthday gift to the Baron from his parents while still in college. There Manservant slept in the dorm room's closet.
[edit] Baron Ünderbheit's Henchmen
These lesser servitors of the Baron are akin to many other of their ilk, disposable. Everyone in Ünderland is required to serve the Baron as a henchmen from 12 to 37 years old. At 38, they are executed.
[edit] The Snakemen of Nat King Cobra
Another variation on the henchmen theme, these soldiers hiss as they serve Nat King Cobra. Race Bannon fought members of this group during Ice Station -- Impossible!
[edit] Strangers
Watch and Ward performed surveilance for The Guild during The Trial of The Monarch and they employ many field operatives for covert operations. Tiny Eagle is thought to be a Stranger. May be a reference to the David Bowie song "Oh You Pretty Things," specifically the lyrics "All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay"
[edit] Dr. Henry Killinger
- See the main article Dr. Henry Killinger
This villain and his magic murder bag worked with The Monarch in I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills. He wears a black skull mask covering the upper half of his face and has silver skull motif shoes. A cross-parody of Henry Kissinger and Mary Poppins, he tried to institute a number of reforms to streamline The Monarch's operation including adding Blackguards to The Fluttering Horde. His greatest assets are his diplomatic skills, incredible understanding of human nature, and his "magic murder bag," an ironically named item that (à la Mary Poppins) apparently has unlimited capacity and contains whatever Dr. Killinger wants it to. In The Doctor Is Sin he attempted to revitalize Venture Industries and the Venture family itself, but ultimately failed when he requested that Dr. Venture join the Guild of Calamitous Intent. Once his work is done, he departs Mary-Poppins-style via his umbrella.
[edit] Shadowmen
When Phantom Limb was like any other villain, he had henchmen called Shadowmen. The Monarch served as a Shadowman while moonlighting as The Monarch. 24 served alongside him, wearing The Monarch's number to cover for his moonlighting. 24.
[edit] Venchmen
These henchmen were to be Thaddeus Venture's henchmen to command should he have taken Dr. Henry Killinger's offer to become a villain. Their colors stylishly represent Venture Industry's blue and black logo. Also a nod to 80's comic, cartoon, and toy franchise G.I. Joe. They resemble "Cobra Troopers".
[edit] Villainous Devices
Tools of the super criminal, these devices aid the dastradly plans of more than one villain.
[edit] The Tiger Bomb
The Tiger Bomb was used by Baron Ünderbheit in Home Insecurity to punish his disloyal lackeys. Each Tiger Bomb consisted of a full sized white tiger with an explosive device strapped to it's underside. The explosive charge was set off via remote control after the tiger had a chance to attack.
[edit] Goliath Serum
The Goliath Serum was invented by Professor Impossible. It was to be injected in a living creature, and 24 hours later, through some metabolic changes, the living creature would become a bomb and blow up. In the news reel, it is mentioned that an elephant injected with this serum in a Russian circus would be very effective.
[edit] Dreaded Candiru
The Monarch planned to use this nasty little fish, with a penchant for swimming up a man's penis and lodging itself there, using barbs to mantain its position, on Team Venture in Are You There God? It's Me, Dean. While it is maintained by a few skeptics that this fish is a myth, there is indeed such a fish as the candiru, which has been known to swim up the urethra.
[edit] Robots of Mike Soriyama
The Leslie-bots are robotic representations of Maike Soriyama's college crush that appeared in Past Tense. Soriyama also created numerous robot clones in Past Tense. These devices made it possible for Mike Soriyama to enact his revenge from beyond the grave.
[edit] Antagonists
Not villains in the truest sense of the word, these characters have been at odds with the Venture clan or are associated with shady activities.
[edit] Molotov Cocktease
Molotov Cocktease, the love of Brock's life first appeared floating on a bed in Eeney, Meeney, Miney ...Magic!.
[edit] OCLF
The Orange County Liberation Front opposes Mr. Brisby during The Incredible Mr. Brisby. Rank and file members wear orange berets, but commanders wear a helmet shaped and textured like an orange.
Leader Ted and wife Debbie met at an Applebees.
Member Chad was a former pro skater until his local skate park was bulldozed to make room for Brisby Land.
[edit] Mr. David Bowie
See David Bowie
[edit] That guy from Depeche Mode
Mentioned in Tag-Sale -- You're it!, which member of the band is referenced is unknown. This may have been simply a joke regarding the appearance of Pete White.
[edit] Professor Richard Impossible
Professor Impossible may not be a true villain, but he tried to kill Dr. Venture in Ice Station -- Impossible! because of his outrage at Dr. Venture's inappropriate actions. Impossible is a pompous, though highly successful, super-scientist, whose experiments with cosmic rays led to an accident which caused bizarre mutations in himself and his visitors at the time-- his wife Sally was rendered invisible (or, at least, her skin was; when she becomes upset, her veins, flesh, and other organs are visible through her skin), her mentally handicapped cousin Ned became a massive, heavily calloused monster, and her brother Cody contracted a condition which causes him to burst into flame when exposed to oxygen. Richard himself received the ability to stretch any part of his body to an almost limitless extent. The Impossible family is a twisted reference to the Fantastic Four.
Richard and Sally's relationship deteriorated beginning some time before Ice Station-- Impossible!, due to Richard's cold, distant demeanor, and they were shown as having separated in later episodes. After they met in Twenty Years to Midnight, Sally entered a relationship with Jonas Venture Jr., which continues to the present, after harboring a secret, unrequited love for Rusty Venture for some time.
[edit] Guardian of the Sacred Rainy-Day Craft Bin of Holy Jineema
Seen in The Trial of The Monarch, this stone golem was dispatched by Brock Samson even though he surrendered after being struck in the groin, repeatedly. May or may not actually exist, as his only appearance was the ...questionable testimony of Hank and Dean, putting this being in the same state of semi-fantasy as Mecha-Shiva.
[edit] Krampus
Christmastime's archaic punisher of the naughty, Krampus appeared in A Very Venture Christmas while attempting to take inappropriate liberties with a panicked Dr. Venture.
[edit] Elder Villains
These costumed baddies fought the original Team Venture of Jonas Venture Sr., Colonel Gentleman, Action Man, Otto Aquarius, Kano, Major Tom, Dr.Entmann and Ook-ook.
