Rutie Banez (What's New, Scooby Doo?)

Rutie Banez (Nika Futterman) is the hidden villainess of "The San Franpsycho", episode 2.08 of What's New, Scooby Doo? (airdate March 20, 2004). She is a practicing skateboarder who attempted to participate in the Grind Games skateboarding competition, but was rejected due to not having good skateboarding skills.
Irrationally believing that her rejection was because of sexism, Rutie became a judge on the competition as a means of exacting revenge. However, she never went after competing skater Ryan Sheckler, whom she highly admired. Her admiration even allowed her to seem innocent, since the gang didn't believe she would sabotage the competition with Ryan competing in it.
Rutie used the local legend of "The San Franpsycho", an Alcatraz prisoner who was eaten by a shark during an escape attempt, to terrorize the games, abducting one skater and attacking another one, both in the midst of the competition. She also began terrorizing the Scooby Gang when they arrived to support Ryan, leaving them stranded on Alcatraz when they went to investigate and derailing a trolley Fred Jones went on to follow Julian Libris (one of their potential suspects). However, Velma suspected her when the San Franpsycho went after everybody except Ryan.
Rutie was unmasked as the true villain when she was caught in a trap the gang set up. When Rutie revealed that she wanted to get back at the competition for being "sexist", Ryan pointedly told her that there were female skaters in the games (with one of said female skaters being the one Rutie attacked). When Rutie tried to prove she was a good skater, she ended up tripping up on the skateboard, officially revealing the true reason she was not accepted. Rutie was then arrested and led away by the police.
