Mr. Cunningham is a tough henchman working for Sam Sinister and Alexia Sinister in their plot to capture dinosaurs from Dino Island. According to LEGO Mania Magazine, he is a master of disguise and has been known to change his disguises weekly.
In The Championship Challenge, Mr. Cunningham gets into a fight with Dr. Lightning in the stands after Sam Sinister tackles an all-star player. In Double Trouble on Dino Island, Mr. Cunningham flies the Research Glider and informs Sinister about Johnny Thunder and Mike making a crash-landing on Dino Island.
In 5730 LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge, Mr. Cunningham is found in the desert of Adventurers Island. When Pepper Roni speaks to him, he says that he saw a helicopter flying towards the jungle.
In all versions of LEGO Racers 2, Mr. Cunningham is an opponent racer in the Galactic Racing Championship. He races against the player on Dino Island, Mars, and the Arctic. He also appears on Sandy Bay in the arcade mode and bonus games. Since he has no dialogue, he is left unnamed in the PC and PlayStation 2 versions, and is only named in the Game Boy Advance version.
