Plot

League of Super Evil is a group of Super Villains who are plotting to take over their neighborhood in Metroville. Their schemes are generally simple and childish as they are very bad at being evil. While all the other citizens in the neighborhood live in suburban houses, L.O.S.E. has a "secret" evil lair. The League is often at odds with other, more "important" super villains, such as Skullossus.

Main Characters

  • Voltar (voiced by Scott McNeil): Also known as Supreme Commander and usually just called Voltar by the other L.O.S.E. members, Voltar is the petite leader of the group. He creates evil plans, which turn out to be incredibly childish and simple. Voltar is described as an evil maniacal genius, but is childish and unintelligent. He wears a helmet, but no one knows why. The only part of his face that can be seen is his golden colored eyes. He also may be a child, as an explanation for his small stature. He wears all red. His behavior is a take-off of the 'Alazon' villain stereotype, and his appearance is loosely based on the 'Evil Overlord' villain stereotype. In some instances where he is not wearing his costume, it is shown that Voltar has abnormally pale skin. Voltar is suspected to be either an alien or a mutant due to having purple urine. (although it is possible that he is just a child wearing a strange costume, as urine turns purple when mixed with chlorine.[4]) He is also shown to be completely clueless when it comes to natural history, for he believed that the pioneers used dinosaurs to pull their stage coaches, mistook neanderthals for ancient Greeks, and believes that the printing press was invented by a wooly mammoth, and all of this is displayed in "Bite at the Museum". He is believed to be a child, for he is short, owned a bicycle and gets excited when he sees the Ice cream truck.
  • Doktor Frogg (voiced by Lee Tockar[5]): The only competent member of L.O.S.E, Frogg is a mad scientist whose genius is hampered by bad luck. He has robotic three-fingered hands that can stretch but are terrible at holding some small objects. He also has a metal chin. He wears a blue smock and goggles. He is obviously a reference to the 'Mad Scientist' villain stereotype. Frogg's voice is a slight take-off of that of horror-movie mainstay Peter Lorre, alebit higher. Frogg also has a darker, psycotic, and quite deadly side that may relate to past evil outside of L.O.S.E.. He also shows much more evil intelligence than the other members and can distinguish between evil plans, and Voltar's plans. He almost always blows up in every episode. It is known that Dr. Frogg hates it when Red Menace throws him a birthday party. Because his title has a 'k' in it rather than a 'c', it is implied that Frogg is part German.
  • Reginald (Red) Menace (voice by Colin Murdock): Referred to as Red by L.O.S.E., he is the muscles of the group, but is also a gentle and friendly giant. He only uses his "anvil-sized Fists of Judgment" on truly evil people. He was originally a Siberian farm boy, although he is very fluent in English. Voltar does not think Red is evil (where he probably isn't). He is possibly a take-off of the 'Henchman' villain stereotype.
  • Doomageddon: Doomageddon is a pan-dimensional hellhound that has the ability to teleport, shrink and grow, fly, and turn invisible. Doomageddon wears a brown cloak and he can be helpful to the other three members of L.O.S.E., but can ruin some things for them, and often tries to or does eat Frogg (or other pets). Needless to say, Frogg and Doomagedden are not very fond of each other at all, however Red treats Doomageddon as a regular pet dog. Doomageddon is chaotic at his best, gladly eating any random objects it comes across. He is also depicted as likely to be the most deadly member of the team, but is far too lazy or uncontrollable to wreck havoc to its fullest. Doomageddon sometimes drives the V-mobile but usually he just rides in a wagon behind the V-mobile.

[6]

  • Henchbots: L.O.S.E.'s two Henchbots, 17 and 32, are constantly falling apart. They are usually destroyed in every episode they appear in. One of their duties is to play Voltar`s dramatic and evil music. They constantly mess this up, though, and play Polka music instead. A running gag is that they're eaten by Doomageddon, only to be later pilfered from his stomach contents.

Other Villains

  • Cougar: She is a villain in which every time someone mentions her name, music and a roar from a tiger comes on. Doktor Frogg seems blush when she's around, even when he finds out that she is an elderly lady. She tried to rob the First National Bank of Villainy but was stopped by L.O.S.E. There was a reward for her capture but Voltar didn't hear it and kept the "minimum bank deposit" of 5 dollars. An obvious take-off of Catwoman with a car similar to the classic Batmobile.
  • Skullossus is a super villain who is at the top of the villain hierarchy in Metroville. It is shown that he has a rivalry with General Sergeant in "Escape from Skullossus". He has a space station, with Skullmandoes that are his soldiers. He also appears to be an improved version of Voltar, including the costume. A possible parody of Atomic Skull and/or Red Skull. His computer sounds like the robot (BOSS) from Dr. Who
  • Linemaster: A geeky looking villain who is first in line for everything and usually gloats about it. Tricked L.O.S.E. into getting a limited edition pink iDestruct at Rotten Core Technologies by being first in line while he got all five black versions. Last seen held captive at the Hall of Glory. Voiced by Lee Tockar.
  • Commander Chaos: The archenemy of the Force Fighters V, he mistook Voltar for an employee at the car wash where he left his Shuriken Typhoon Super-S Atomic Destructo-bot, "Tina", leaving it in his care for the afternoon. He returned just as the FFV came to get revenge on him for their earlier defeat at his hands (though really, it was L.O.S.E. that they fought). Unfortunately for Chaos, the previous battle left his robot severely damaged and it fell apart when he tried to fight them. Oddly enough, a human-sized Destructo-bot was seen in I-Destruct and was shortly destroyed by the I-Destruct laser
  • Lair-y (voiced by Colin Murdock: A temporary member of L.O.S.E., Lair-y (pronounced like Larry) was a computer defense system built and designed by Doktor Frogg to protect Voltar's new Abominator BMX Ultimate Evil Edition bicycle from being stolen, but Voltar stupidly gives Lair-y a direct order to let no one touch it, not realizing that it included himself. Doomageddon ends up shutting down Lair-y by eating his circuits and wires. It was reminiscent of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  • Doom Driver: A rogue, undead driver that takes down other rogue drivers in street races and takes their cars. He eventually races the V-mobile X-TREEEEEME and wins without a challenge. Instead of taking it, he says it isn't cool enough which causes Voltar to become furious. They upgrade the car so that he wants it, get into a race, and nearly win. But since Voltar wants the car taken, he ironically costs them the race by throwing the upgrades at Doom Driver. He is also married, as he mentions that he's got errands to do for "Mrs. Driver" when LOSE first try to challenge him. It is also revealed he lives less than a block away from L.O.S.E.
  • Chuckles: Doktor Frogg's very first creation. A robotic clown designed to ruin the other neighborhood kids' birthday parties because he wasn't ever invited to them. Chuckles worked fine until he turned on Frogg and ruined his party as well. Later on, Red stupidly reactivated him and he terrorized the league on Frogg's birthday years later. He kept it up until midnight, when his birthday was technically over. Unfortunately, Voltar's birthday was after Frogg's and Chuckles went on the rampage again.
  • Injustice Gene: Justice Gene turned evil. After failing as a suburban law officer, museum nightwatchman, warehouse cop, janitor, and a pizza delivery boy, Gene resorted to working with his archenemies, the League Of Super Evil, and help get their Uncatchable Disk of Doom back from Glory Guy. Upon retrieving it, he tried to rescue Doktor Frogg from capture before Glory Guy made the scene, but was spotted by him and had his rescue mistaken for capture, and was awarded his old janitor job at the Hall of Glory.
  • LOSE clones: Clones of the League that are even more evil. Frogg created them so the real LOSE could get out of having to scoop Doomageddon's radioactive feces. Voltar is even more muscular and has a deeper voice than the orginal. Also noted for wearing black instead of red. Red Menace's hair is slicked back in a 50's pompadour style. Wears reddish orange instead of green. Doktor Frogg's brain is massive and he is also noted for wearing a white lab coat instead of a blue jumpsuit. Doomageddon is green and resembles the two hellhound demi-gods Vinz Clortho and Zuul from Ghostbusters. The clones nearly took over the world in under four hours, but disintegrated into puddles after those four hours.
  • Mysterio Vilaino (voiced by Scott McNeil): A supervillain who first appeared in "Table for Four". He has the exact same mask and voice as Voltar, and his body is a slightly taller version of Frogg's. He also has a moustache and sunglasses, and wears a yellow trenchcoat and matching fedorah that bear his logo (a large 'M' above a small 'V'). He also seems to have a problem with bumping into things, as well as running so that his upper body tilts backwards as he does so. Voltar attempted to disguise himself as Vilaino in order to get into a fancy supervillain restaurant, yet his disguise is immediately seen through (as the real Vilaino entered the restaurant a few seconds before Voltar attempted the disguise). It is also said in the official LOSE webside that Vilaino enjoys interpretive dancing and specializes in robbing discount hat outlets.
  • Jules: The simian waiter/bouncer/manager/matre'd at the premiere villains' restaurant; Villaynes. He always succeeds in keeping the L.O.S.E. out of his restaurant without a reservation, yet they eventually succeed in getting in (destroying the restaurant in the process). He is voiced by Lee Tockar.
  • Susie Scouts: An evil extortion group that doesn't take no for an answer when selling their cookies. An obvious play on the Girl Scouts.
  • Henchbot Elites: The latest tech from Rotten Core Industries, they are 17 and 32's replacements for screwing up so much.

Heroes

  • Justice Gene: A perfect neighborhood obsessed suburban law officer who always tries to have things regulated and has a ticket shooting gun (enforcing incredibly ridiculous rules) and was fired because the League Of Super Evil were jealous that he was more rude and annoying then them. He became Museum Gene briefly after taking a job as the nightwatchman at the natural history museum to try and earn his superhero wings again, only to be fired again because the League purposely told him how to put the tyrannosaurus skeleton back together incorrectly. He took up other jobs, including working as a cop at a warehouse, janitor duty at the Hall of Glory, and a job as a delivery boy at Pronto Pizza. After failing at everything else he resorted to evil but failed even that, becoming Janitor Gene once again after Glory Guy mistook his rescue of Frogg for capture.
  • Nanny Boo Boo: A nanny that is a spoof of Mary Poppins. Her umbrella moves like a propeller so she can fly. She tried to nanny the four by giving Voltar timeouts, dressing Doomageddon like a girl, feeding cakes and pies to Red Menace, and giving a safety helmet to Doktor Frogg. Frogg tricks Nanny Boo Boo by saying she has cured them of their evil ways and tells her she should nanny General Sergeant's daughter, Elizabeth.
  • General Sergeant: An army general responsible for production of weapons to counter the forces of evil. His archenemy is Skullosus. He often parodies various moments in action films, such as dodging lasers in slow motion (in reality, the lasers just travel really slow) or arriving a bit late as the villains get away. Voiced by Blu Mankuma.
  • Elizabeth "Lightning Liz" Sergeant (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain): The daughter of General Sergeant, she loves shopping and fighting evil. She forcibly took the XGL Prototype Battle Armor from her father and proceeded to find evildoers as "Lightning Liz", though was tricked into giving up the armor by L.O.S.E. when they convinced her it was out of season and traded her for the "YGL" model made of household items. .
  • Glory Guy: Glory Guy resides at the Famous "Hall of Glory", where the league lost their Uncatchable Disk of Doom. Aided by Injustice Gene, they snuck in and retrieved the disk, only for Frogg to try and steal every other evil item Glory Guy has confiscated and set off the alarm. Gene tried to help Frogg, but Glory Guy mistook it for capturing him and gave him his old Janitor job back at the Hall of Glory.
  • Force Fighters V: The FFV consists of Magenta, Goldenrod, Seafoam Green, Periwinkle and team leader Rose (pronounced Rozay). A parody of Super Sentai heroes They are the archenemies of Commander Chaos and are usually working at a take-out sushi restaurant when not fighting him. Their catchphrase is "Force Fighters V, actualize!" They constantly move in awkward movements while they talk (a parody of the Super Sentai poses). They aren't shown to have powers of their own but do have a giant robot formed from five smaller machines, a parody of the Power Rangers Megazords. Their robot has a great deal of fire power. L.O.S.E managed to defeat them using Chaos' robot, which they stole, mostly due to Doomageddon's messing around with the controls. They come back to take 'revenge' on Chaos, believing it'd been him that defeated them.

Other characters

  • Neighborhood Kids: They may be considered Voltar`s archenemies
  • Mr. Nelson: The League's neutral civilian neighbor.
  • Mrs. Johnson: A civillian teacher at Metroville Elementary who can be spotted in the background at times.
  • Ninja Waiters: Jules fellow employees at Villaynes.
  • Bank Lady (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain): The manager of the First National Bank of Villainy.
  • Steve: The League's next-door neighbor. The League is constantly annoying him.
  • Evil Stevens: Former mad scientist & CEO of Rotten Core Technologies, a company that manufactures and sells gadgets to villains. Stevens and his company are a subtle parody of Steve Jobs and Apple Inc., right down to the trademark lowercase i before some product names (iDestruct).
  • Mr. Lee: Manager of the Pronto Pizza in Metroville. Hates the League with a passion because of their antics of delaying the delivery of the pizzas they order. At one point his top delivery boy was on a run, so he sent his cashier to deliver it instead. He failed to deliver it in time, but because the League tripped their own traps he got his tip anyway.
