Widget and his allies

    Widget 
Voiced by: Russi Taylor
Debut: "Widget's Great Whale Adventure"
Characters in Widget the World Watcher
A shapeshifting alien from the Horsehead Nebula who ventures to Earth to protect it from evil-doers.


  • Achilles' Heel - Widget can't shapeshift when being held upside down or when his body is compressed.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Widget isn't very keen on resorting to violence to deal with his problems. That said, you really don't want to mess with someone who can transform into just about anything, be it a rhinoceros, shark, dragon, Superman-expy, etc.
  • Brought to You by the Letter "W": Widget's tail is curved in such a way that it resembles a W. His transformations usually retain this feature.
  • Fairy Companion - Well, more like a Fairy Hero with Human Companions.
  • Flight: Widget can fly by spinning his tail around. Or he can just transform into something else that is capable of flight.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: While not to the same extent as someone such as Mega Brain, Widget was still able to fix the Temporal Power Decelerator without any help in "The Brain Who Would Be King".
  • How Do I Shot Web? - In the first couple of episodes, Widget seems to still be figuring out his shapeshifting powers, or at least what Earth animals are like so he can change into accurate ones.
  • Morphic Resonance: Most of his transformations tend to stay purple in color. He'll usually also retain his hair and tail as well.
  • Multi-Armed Multitasking: Widget will sometimes turn into an octopus, just to take advantage of the fact that it comes with eight appendages for him to put to use.
  • Nice Guy: Widget is a supportive and caring individual to his friends, as well as the various people and animals he comes across. Except on rare occassions, he isn't too aggressive towards the villains, either.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Instead of turning into a normal-looking human, Widget will often disguise himself as one by wearing a goofy disguise.
  • Shapeshifting: Can turn himself into just about anything, be it an animal, plant, machine, innanimate object, or whatever.
  • Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Widget is often stated to be four feet tall in his normal form. In actuality, Widget looks closer to being just three feet tall, as most older humans, such as Kristine, look to be about twice his height. If Widget really is supposed to be four feet tall, then Earth must have a LOT of people who stand at around eight feet!
  • Spectacular Spinning: Widget will often quickly spin around on the spot to trigger his shapeshifting ability. Sometimes, he will not spin and instead morph into a different form.
  • Thou Shall Not Kill: As his job is to protect life, Widget willingly refrains from using violence to harm his opponents. He'll even make an effort to protect them if he sees that they're in danger.
  • To Win Without Fighting: As Widget is reluctant to hurt anyone, he'll usually try to reason with the enemy to get them to stop their scheme. When that doesn't work, he may turn into an intimidating form and scare them into changing their ways.

    Mega Brain 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/megabrain_1.png
Voiced by: Jim Cummings
Debut: "Widget's Great Whale Adventure"
An intellectual (but bumbling) Brain Unit who is Widget's main sidekick.


  • A Dog Named "Dog": While there are other distinct Mega Brain units out there, Widget's partner is simply referred to as "Mega Brain". In some instances, these other units get referred to as "Mega Units" or "Brain Units".
  • Dreadful Musician: His singing is so unbearable, that it weakens Ratchet and destroys all of his clones in "Two Times Widget Equals Trouble". Half Pint doesn't seem to mind his singing, though.
  • Encyclopaedic Knowledge: He's able to recall information on seemingly any creature in the universe.
  • Forgot About His Powers: In "Scraboolee Jubilee" and "Bungle of the Jungle", Mega Brain gets tied up and hung upside-down. Since Mega Brain normally hovers, why is he not able to turn himself right side up and free himself? Or just conjure up some gadget that could cut the rope?
  • Floating Limbs: Mega Brain (along with other Mega Brain units) consists of a floating head and a pair of gloves.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Mega Brain builds contraptions in his spare time to aid Widget. How functional these contraptions actually are tends to vary.
  • Hammerspace: Mega Brain can seemingly summon whatever gizmo he happens to need out of thin air.
  • Mechanical Lifeform: It's not entirely clear what he is, but Mega Brain (along with other Brain Units) seems to not be an organic lifeform, and was artificially built in some way.
  • Objectshifting: He can alter his shape, although not to the same extent as Widget. On occassion, he has turned himself into things such as a floppy disk and an analogue clock.
  • The Smart Guy: Well, he doesn't always show it on account of his eccentric personality, but true to his name, he is highly intelligent.

    Kevin and Brian 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kevinbrian_2.png
Kevin (right) and Brian
Kevin voiced by: Dana Hill
Brian voiced by: Kath Soucie
Debut: "Widget's Great Whale Adventure"
Two human brothers who discover Widget shortly after he lands on Earth who quickly become his friends.


  • Beware the Nice Ones: In "Bonkula", the usually well-manned Kevin is transformed into a rebellious vampire. However, when Bonkula sends Widget flying, Kevin immediately snaps back to normal and shoves Bonkula aside, saving Widget.
  • Big Brother Instinct: When Brian (who's been turned into a wolf) gets swept downstream in "Never Cry Woof", Widget turns into a bird to go after him. Even though he's unable to fly, Kevin goes after Brian as well, stating that he's still his brother.
  • Cheerful Child: Brian is usually pretty upbeat, at least whenever the good guys aren't dealing with a problem.
  • A Day in the Limelight:
    • For Kevin:
      • "Teacher's Pets", where most of the action takes place in Kevin's class.
      • "Bonkula", which largely focuses on Kevin befriending an alien vampire and falling under his influence.
    • For Brian:
      • "Never Cry Woof", where Brian gets transformed into a wolf.
      • "The Uncontrollabe Urg", in which Brian appears without Kevin. Downplayed in that Brian is not the focus of the episode.
  • Free-Range Children: Kevin and Brian regularly go off to hang out with Widget, with their parents none the wiser. Widget often takes Kevin and Brian to exotic locales and even other planets, but it's never an issue, so long as they get home in time for dinner.
  • Invisible Parents: Their parents are mentioned a few times, but never make an appearance, even when the boys are at home.
  • Kid Sidekick: Both of them often join Widget on his adventures.
  • Mr. Imagination: Brian, at times. He'll sometimes misinterpret information that he doesn't fully understand, especially when it pertains to other cultures or planets, as being greater or more dangerous than it actually is.
  • No Full Name Given: Their last name is never mentioned.
  • Out of Focus: In Season 1, they appeared in every episode, and would go on to appear frequently at the start of Season 2. However, as Season 2 progressed, they began to put in fewer and fewer appearances. Their final appearance was in "Bonkula", as they were completely absent from the remaining thirteen episodes. Somewhat understandable, as they're kids who still have to go to school and such, and therefore wouldn't always have the time to hang out with Widget.
  • Sibling Team: They're usually seen together and tend to get along fairly well.
  • Straight Man: Kevin is typically the most level-headed and sensible character within Widget's circle.

    Kristine 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kristine_2.png
Voiced by: Kath Soucie
Debut: "Widget's Great Whale Adventure"
An older girl who works at a veterinarian clinic. Kevin and Brian introduce her to Widget.


  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite being friends with a shapeshifting purple alien, in "Dr. M-Slank's Pet Palace", Kristine finds it hard to believe that some dogs were caught by alien dog catchers in a hovering truck, just because she didn't see it happen with her own eyes.
  • Cool Big Sis: Despite not being related, she acts like one to Kevin and Brian.
  • Demoted to Extra: She appeared several times in Season 1. Throughout Season 2's fifty-two episodes, Kristine only appeared once, that being in "Dr. M-Slank's Pet Palace".
  • No Full Name Given: Like Kevin and Brian, her last name is unknown.
  • The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female friend within Widget's circle.

    Half Pint 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/halfpint_1.png
Voiced by: Tress MacNeille
Debut: "Half-Pint"
Widget's younger cousin, who sometimes joins him on his adventures.


  • Bratty Half-Pint: He's aptly-named, and does have bratty tendancies at times.
  • Contrasting Replacement Character: Once Half Pint starts showing up, Kevin and Brian begin to make fewer and fewer apperances. For that matter, Half Pint only appeared in one episode ("The Uncontrollable Urg") alongside Brian, from which Kevin was completely absent.
  • Cousin Oliver: He's a younger cousin of Widget who's introduced roughly halfway through the show's run.
  • Exposed Animal Bellybutton: He has one.
  • Forgot About His Powers: In "Half Pint", Half Pint gets trapped in a cage by Bob and Betty. Not once does he think to transform into something small enough to fit through the bars, or use his teleportation device to escape.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: In "Half-Pint's Ransom", he has a Weather-Control Machine that he claims to have built himself.
  • Goofy Buckteeth: Has these, even when he changes shape.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: Its unclear whether or not his name is supposed to contain a hyphen. His debut episode is titled "Half Pint", while another is titled "Half-Pint's Ransom".
  • Kid Sidekick: To Widget.
  • Morphic Resonance: Similar to Widget, his transformations are blue and bear some resemblance to his normal form.
  • Shapeshifting: Like Widget, he can change into whatever he wants.
  • Scout-Out: Half Pint is an Ecology Scout, complete with a Boy Scouts-ish uniform that he sometimes wears.
  • Spectacular Spinning: Like Widget, he will spin around to change his form.
  • Unknown Relative: Half Pint is stated to be Widget's cousin, even though Widget doesn't know who he is at first. He's also stated to be a nephew of the Elders - if and how Widget himself is related to the Elders is never brought up.

    The Elders 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elders_8.png
Elder 1 voiced by: Jim Cummings
Elder 2 voiced by: Tress MacNeille
Debut: "Widget's Great Whale Adventure"
Two older Watchers who oversee Widget and inform him about problems on Earth.


  • Accidental Misnaming - Nearly evey time they contact Widget, the male elder almost never gets his name right, and the one time he DOES, Widget can't believe it.
    Male Elder: World Watcher Widget...
    Widget: At your servi...Jumping Jupiter! You got my name right!!
    Male Elder: Huh? Oh...
  • Big Good: They oversee Widget and the other Watchers.
  • Da Chief: They tend to be fairly strict and bossy towards Widget, but they aren't mean and do care about him.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": They're only ever referred to as the Elders. It gets to the point where Half Pint goes so far to address the female Elder as "Auntie Elder" in "The Uncontrollable Urg". According to the video game adaptation, the male is Elder 1, while the female is Elder 2.
  • Hologram: As they typically remain at headquarters on their home planet, they instead appear to Widget as holograms via a projector onboard the star shuttle.
  • Hard Light: Despite appearing as holograms, they can physically interact with things at Widget's location, such as a video game controller.
    • In one instance, Widget accidentally sprays them with water, and they react to it, despite not physically being there. This is followed by Mega Brain drying them off, which shrinks them. Mega Brain then restores them back to their proper sizes by blowing a bellows into the projector.
  • Identical Grandson: In "The Wishing Stone", it's revealed that the Elders had ancestors from 2,000 years ago who looked almost exactly the same as they do.
  • Mr. and Mrs. Exposition: They usually inform Widget of a problem somewhere that he needs to attend to.
  • Once per Episode: They show up near the start of many episodes to brief Widget on his latest assignment.
  • Written-In Absence: In "All Day Suckers", the male Elder appears without the female, explaining that she went to the salon. As Tress MacNeille does not voice any characters in this episode, it's possible that she was unavailable to record her lines and her character's absence needed to be handwaved.

Antagonists

    Bob and Betty 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bobbetty.png
Bob voiced by: Pat Fraley
Betty voiced by: Tress MacNeille
Debut: "Widget of the Jungle"
Two human poachers who travel around Earth, often looking for animals or valuables they can profit from.


  • Adventurer Outfit: Both of them usually wear one.
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: They tend to go after rare animals, either so they can harvest their parts or mistreat them in some way.
  • Ecocidal Antagonist: In "Bungle of the Jungle", they use a robotic elephant to tear down trees in a Burmese jungle in their effort to locate an ancient temple.
  • Evil Poacher: They're not the only ones, but they're easily this show's textbook examples.
  • Evil Redhead: Betty, though her hair is more auburn.
  • Fat and Skinny: Bob (fat) and Betty (skinny).
  • Fat Bastard: Bob, for sure.
  • Letter Motif: Both of their names start with B.
  • No Full Name Given: Their last name(s) is never brought up.
  • Put on a Prison Bus: Mega Brain contacted the Mounties after Bob and Betty got trapped in "Half Pint". However, the heroes left before the police could arrive, making Bob and Betty's fate in that episode uncertain. Either way, they're back to their usual antics a few episodes later.
  • The Smurfette Principle: Not that she and Bob ever worked with any of the other villains, but Betty is one of the only female antagonists in the entire show, and the only recurring one.
  • Starter Villain: They're the first serious villains that Widget ends up dealing with, and also end up becoming recurring characters. They also end up being the first villains that Half Pint encounters.
  • Straw Character: They largely exist to show off the dark side of poaching animals.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Betty is roughly a head taller than Bob.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: In "Betty and the Beasts", Bob and Betty dress up some animals and force them to act in their movie. Widget later orders one of the animals to save Betty from drowning. Despite this, neither Betty nor Bob express any gratitude to Widget or the bear, and the two are back to causing trouble by their next episode.
  • Unholy Matrimony: In "Betty and the Beasts", Bob sometimes refers to Betty as darling, implying that they are a couple and do have feelings for one another.

    Dr. Dante 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dantegood.png
Click here to see his "mean" appearance
Voiced by: Jim Cummings
Debut: "Slime Sleuths"
A human scientist who acts sincere on the outside, but deep down is always up to something unethical. He has a "nice" facade that he uses to mask his more chaotic side. The meek Hubert Ratman is his assistant.


  • Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Dr. Dante always gets his comeuppance at the end of each of his episodes. By contrast, most other villains tend to suffer little to no serious consequences at all beyond having their plans foiled.
  • Cardboard Prison: Dr. Dante and Hubert Ratman were arrested at the end of "Slime Sleuths". They somehow got out and appeared in later episodes.
  • Ecocidal Antagonist: His schemes always end up damaging the environment in some way.
  • Evil Redhead: Absolutely.
  • Fake Defector: He claims to have reformed when Widget encounters him in "Glacier Grabber", but it's a lie. He does the same thing again in "Chaos in Kali Ko", which would end up being his final appearance.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He acts nice when he's out in public or in a good mood. He'll drop the ruse either when he's alone or gets pushed too far.
  • The Glasses Come Off: When he shifts into his mean persona, he'll remove the glasses that he normally wears when he's a scientist.
  • Greenwashed Villainy: Likes to claim that his latest plan is actually good in some way, although in actuality it ends up being harmful to the environment.
  • Hell-Bent for Leather: When he switches to his mean persona, he'll toss off his lab coat and reveal the leather jacket that he wears underneath it.
  • Jekyll & Hyde: A subversion. His normal "Jekyll" side is still a villain, but his "Hyde" persona takes things up to eleven and is Always Chaotic Evil.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: In front of most people, he's usually in his calm and collected scientist persona. When things start to not go his way, he'll switch to his unhinged "biker" persona and start behaving like a raving lunatic.
  • Mad Scientist: Although he's more "mad" than he is "scientist".
  • Malicious Misnaming: He always refers to his henchman Hubert Ratman as "Ratty", which Ratman doesn't take too kindly to.
    Hubert Ratman: That's Ratman! Hubert Ratman!
  • Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: He bears the title of doctor, but that doesn't stop him from commiting heinous acts in the name of profit.
  • Named After Someone Famous: Whether it was intentional or not, Dr. Dante was a stage name of Ronald Pellar, a convicted con artist.
  • No Full Name Given: He's only ever referred to as Dr. Dante. As such, his full name is unknown.
  • Psycho Pink: He wears a pink shirt beneath his leather jacket.
  • Put on a Prison Bus: He gets arrested at the end of "Slime Sleuths". It doesn't last, as he gets out in time for his next appearance.
  • Shifting Voice of Madness: As a scientist, Dr. Dante speaks calm and smoothly. When he assumes his "mean" persona, his voice becomes more rowdy and gravelly.
  • Snake Oil Salesman: In "Sime Sleuths", he claimed that his purification machine could convert toxic waste into drinkable water. It's later revealed to be a hoax, as the water that came from the machine was just regular tap water.
  • Split Personality: He can be calm and relaxed one minute, then switch to being psychotic and deranged the next.

    Mr. Beetlebug 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beetlebug.png
Voiced by: Pat Fraley
Debut: "Rock 'n Roll Widget"
A corrupt developer who is motivated by greed and doesn't seem to care if his schemes are harming animals or the environment.


  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: He's only interested in making money at any cost, even if it causes problems for others.
  • Ecocidal Antagonist: In "Air for Sale", his Domeworld community produces a ton of smog that pollutes the surrounding area.
  • Greed: Perhaps even moreso than the other villains. He'll do just about anything if he can profit from it in some way. Even after learning that some things are more important than money, Mr. Beetlebug is still obsessed with earning as much as he humanly can.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Undergoes this twice. First in "Air for Sale", when Widget saves his life by stopping Macro Brain, he thanks Widget and cancels his plan to pollute the air surrounding Domeworld. In "Beast Side Story", Mr. Beetlebug wants to tear down a building that a family of foxes are living in, even though he owns the property. When the animals save his life, he has a change of heart and decides to build them a special habitat where the old building stood.
  • Last-Name Basis: His first name is never mentioned.
  • Villain No Longer Idle: In "Beast Side Story", Mr. Beetlebug takes over the use of a wrecking ball when the foreman stops. However, the wrecking ball isn't working properly because Mega Brain secretly messed around with it.


    Mega-Slank 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/megaslank.png
Voiced by: Pat Fraley
Debut: "Mega-Slank from Titanium"
An alien from planet Titanium. He usually wants to steal Earth's animals or its resources as a means of satisfying other aliens. He has numerous Synthetic Space Slugs at his disposal to do his dirty work.


  • Back for the Finale: After a twenty-six episode absence (cameos notwithstanding), Mega-Slank returns as the the villain in the series' final episode, "Mother Slank's Intergalactic Vacation Paradise".
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: He believes that Earth's animals would be better under his control, rather than leaving humans to mistreat them. He's wrong.
  • Big Ol' Unibrow: He sports a large orange unibrow.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: In "Mother Slank's Intergalactic Vacation Paradise", he takes Mother Slank on a vacation to Lake Titicaca, and goes so far as to warm up the temperature of the water just to please her.
  • Evil Poacher: He regularly goes after Earth's wildlife for his own selfish gain.
  • Evil Red Head: Well, evil red brow, at least. His scalp is obscured by his helmet.
  • Lazy Alias: He hides his identity as Dr. M-Slank in "Dr. M-Slank's Pet Palace". It works, as Widget doesn't suspect whom Dr. M-Slank even is until he encounters him.
  • Offstage Villainy:
    • Was responsible for selling lots of peculiar glasses to the people of Planet Narcissus in "Rose Colored Glasses", which made the wearers see things differently and nearly led to a war breaking out. Despite this, Mega Slank doesn't physically appear in that episode.
    • In "Awesome African Adventure" he had been bankrolling Sir Willy's pursuit of harambe, a nearly extinct dinsosaur descendent, so that it could be put on exhibit in the Slankyland Center for Cultural Exploitation. Outside of a photograph, Mega-Slank does not make an appearance.
  • Running Both Sides: In "Rose Colored Glasses", he's revealed to have sold glasses to both the citizens of the Domed City on Narcissus, as well as the Zoid people. This in turn caused the two sides to turn against one another.
  • Scary Teeth: He has a large mouth filled with equally large teeth. In some shots, his teeth appear to be jagged.
  • Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: A villainous, male example, even if the only hair of his that is seen is his unibrow.
  • Sinister Schnoz: His nose is fairly big.

    Mr. Mayor 
Voiced by: Pat Fraley
Debut: "That's the Spirit"
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrmayor.png
The corrupt mayor of the local city, who seems to have no qualms about making unethical deals in exchange for money.


  • Card-Carrying Villain: In "Ghost of a Chance", he admits to being the most crooked mayor in the town's history.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": He's only ever referred to as "Mr. Mayor". His actual name is never mentioned.
  • Corrupt Politician: His concern for the environment is next to nonexistant, and he can easily be swayed to make unethical deals in exchange for money.
  • Heel–Face Turn: After being shown what will happen if he lets his greed get the better of him in "That's the Spirit", he's revealed to care more about the environment in "Ghost of a Chance, but is still somewhat sleazy.
  • Mayor Pain: He's quick to sacrifice the city's resources for profit.
  • Reformed, but Not Tamed: In "That's the Spirit", he's scared into giving up his development project. Despite this, he has no problem selling off Earth's water to the Lollipopians in his next episode, "All Day Suckers". In "Ghost of a Chance", he seems to no longer be commiting shady deals, but still comes off as being self-centered.
  • Scare 'Em Straight: In "That's the Spirit", Widget, Mega Brain and three ghosts have to show Mr. Mayor a Bad Future in order to get him to cancel a development project that would involve destroying a park.

    Ratchet 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ratchet_4.png
Voiced by: Tress MacNeille
Debut: "Two Times Widget Equals Trouble"
Widget's evil counterpart. Originally an escaped alien fugitive, he took over Pallinia in 1066 and turned it into Pollutia, AKA the Trasher Dimension. Whereas Widget strives to protect the Earth, Ratchet wants to trash it. He is often aided by his half-and-half mutants.


  • Alternate Self: He's the "Widget" of Pollutia. Since nobody was able to stop him, he managed to pollute his entire world.
  • Arch-Enemy: Pretty much. In terms of character, he's essentially an "anti-Widget". He also makes the most appearances out of all the villains on the show.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: In his first episode, he proudly refers to himself as "Ratchet the World Trasher".
  • Cut Lex Luthor a Check: In "Ratchet Hood", he's revealed to have built a functional trash shrinking machine, albeit one that produces pollution. Subverted in that Ratchet isn't interested in earning money.
  • Ear Notch: He has one on the underside of each ear.
  • Ecocidal Antagonist: The biggest offender on the entire show. Polluting is basically a hobby to him.
  • Embarrassing Middle Name: In "Head Game", Ratchet asks Mega Brain what his middle name is. Mega Brain correctly says it by accident when he mutters "I-uh-what-uh-oh-uh-oh-woo".
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Ratchet may be a Jerkass, but he'll honor anyone who actually manages to win one of his challenges.
    • In "Head Game", Ratchet hosts a contest between Mega Brain and Fathead to compete for some uranium-235 that Ratchet wants to dump on Earth. While he's largely a jerk towards Mega Brain throughout, Ratchet does give Mega Brain points whenever he succeeds. Ratchet also gives up the uranium when Mega Brain manages to win the contest in the end.
    • In "Intergalactic Grudge Match", Ratchet dupes Widget into fighting against pro wrestler Garbantua. When Garbantua gets KOed, Ratchet declares Widget the winner, albeit with great reluctance.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Widget.
  • Evil Redhead: He sports an orange mohawk, likely to show just how rebellious he is.
  • Evil Twin - While said to be Widget's "evil twin", it's unclear whether they're actually related or not. He also lacks Widget's powers.
  • For the Evulz: While the actions of most other villains are motivated by greed, Ratchet pollutes the Earth because he wants to pollute it; he doesn't care about money. When Rathet's not trashing the planet, he's deliberately trying to sabotage Widget in some way.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: He's built a number of impressive machines, including an interdimensional portal, a shrinking machine for trash, as seen in "Ratchet Hood", as well as a time machine in "Culture Crooks".
  • Helpless with Laughter: If tricked into laughing too much, Ratchet will lose control of himself, as seen in "Culture Crooks".
  • Jerkass: Moreso than the other villains. When he isn't busy trying to trash the planet, he's still a very selfish and unpleasant guy to have to deal with.
  • Judge, Jury, and Executioner: In "Head Game", Ratchet hosts a trivia show between Mega Brain and Fathead. When Widget complains that Mega Brain (who knew the correct answer to a question) wasn't able to press his buzzer in time on account of his hands being stuck, Ratchet quickly dresses up in a judge's robe and wig and awards the point to Fathead.
  • Lazy Alias: In "Intergalactic Grudge Match", Ratchet poses as a land realtor named R. Atchet. To Ratchet's credit, when Widget hears about this "R. Atchet" character, it takes him a while to actually deduce who it is.
  • Psycho Pink: He's pink in color, and he's easily the most chaotic of Widget's enemies.
  • Robin Hoodlum: In "Ratchet Hood", he and his mutants dress up as Robin Hood to steal money intended for a charity.
  • Scary Teeth: He has pointy teeth which can often be seen whenever he opens his mouth.
  • Tough Spikes and Studs: He wears a spiked collar.
  • Villain of Another Story: After Sir Willy fails to find an endangered animal for Mega-Slank in "Awesome African Adventure", he contemplates going to work for Ratchet. However, Sir Ollie shows up and stops him before he's able to do so.
  • Worthless Yellow Rocks: Ratchet has no use for money, unless it can somehow further his goal to create more pollution. When he steals money for a charity in "Ratchet Hood", he burns it.

    Flim Flam McSham 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flimflam_8.png
Flim is the body's right head, Flam is the left.
Flim voiced by: Pat Fraley
Flam voiced by: Jim Cummings
Debut: "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy"
An alien pair of conjoined twin brothers from Planet Mandorf who are looking to capture and exploit unusual creatures for profit. They have several alien henchmen working for them, with Gyp being the most noteworthy.


  • Bad People Abuse Animals: Flim and Flam force animals to perform in the their circus, only to lock them up in cages between performances.
  • Dastardly Whiplash - Although it's more in appearance. Both heads of Flim Flam Mc Sham indeed look like a cross between Dick Dastardly and Snidely Whiplash.
  • Evil Poacher: They're constantly looking for new, exotic animals that they can uproot from their home and force to perform in their circus.
  • Fake Defector: In "Rock Around the Cosmos", they host a "benefit concert", but it's just a ruse to lure in various aliens as part of a trap.
  • Identical Twin ID Tag: Flim has a mustache, wears a conical hat and is on the right. Flam has a goatee, wears a top hat and is on the left.
  • Multiple Headcase: They're two heads who share a single body.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Flim-flam and sham are both words that mean swindle, an indictation of the duo's dishonest nature.
  • Repulsive Ringmaster: They're an unpleasant duo who run a circus, which they force animals to perform in.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Although they usually get along, there are moments where they bicker with one another.
  • Sibling Team: Though they kind of have to be, given that they're physically connected to one another.
  • Sinister Schnoz: They each have one.
  • Theme Twin Naming: Flim and Flam McSham.

    Muscle Head 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/musclehead.png
Voiced by: Various
Debut: "BONKERZ"
A muscular alien species that are employed by various characters in a few episodes, typically to serve as guards. They appear to be native to Planet Narcissus, but one was seen on the Plaid Planet in "Mac Bluff".
