Twist (Slugterra)

Twist is a former protagonist, turned major antagonist in the animated TV series, Slugterra.
Blaming the Shane Family for the death of his father, Twist initially appeared to be an ally of the Shane Gang, using his deceitful and hallucinogenic trickery to fool Blakk Industries. However, the opposite was true, and he was using these tricks against the Shane Gang in an attempt to get back at the current Shane (Eli Shane) to avenge his father.
He is voiced by David A. Kaye in the animated TV series.
== History ==
==== Background ====
Twist was born in the 99 Caverns, specifically in Cavern Quisingly. At a young age, he deeply loved and respected his father. However, when his father was caught stealing slugs by the former Shane, Will Shane, he panicked and ran. Will attempted to stop him by firing a slug after him, which sent Twist's father over a cliff to his demise. This event would birth Twist's deep hatred for the Shanes.
=== Slugterra ===
Twist, who was currently working as Dr. Blakk's apprentice at the time was employed by Blakk to gain the trust of the Shane Gang in order to provide intel for fellow Blakk Industries employee El Diablos Nacho to defeat Eli Shane.
The Shane Gang initially trusted Twist, especially Eli who compared himself to Twist due to their similarities (both had lost their fathers). During a mission to intercept a Blakk Industries message, the Shane Gang had lost the message they were intercepting, until Twist and his "source" (actually Dr. Blakk), assisted them.
However, Kord Zane would grow suspicious of Twist during one of their missions, noticing odd details and stories that did not fit Twist's narratives. Kord warned Eli, and eventually Twist revealed himself, explaining why he hated the Shanes, and managing to escape from the enraged Shane Gang.
He later disguised himself with Loki's powers as Dr. Blakk to attack the Unbeatable Master and the Shane Gang, however he was defeated easily. When he and Black Industries decided to retreat, he seemed regretful for not having been able to be mentored by the Unbeatable Master, and was supported by two of Blakk's men due to being very badly injured.
Twist was absent during the Shane Gang's attack on Blakk's citadel. What happened to him afterwards is unknown, though most likely he had went into hiding following Blakk's defeat.
=== Personality ===
Twist when he was young was a kind and innocent boy. However, following the death of his father, he became malicious, vengeful and deceitful, doing anything it takes to get back at the Shanes for taking the life of his father. However, Twist did feel some sympathy for others when Shanai was killed by Dr. Blakk.
=== Appearance ===
Twist is a teenage boy with a muscular build. He has long blond hair, natural skin and turquoise eyes. He wore black pants, black boots, a white undershirt and a yellow and black vest.
=== Powers and Abilities ===
Twist was a skilled and accurate slugslinger, who was able to understand the capabilities of his slugs. Additionally, combined with the efforts of Loki, Twist was able to create illusions and clones of himself, being able to completely disappear from one's field of vision, and reappear out of nowhere. He is also able to create clones and objects that look real, but are not really there. His only weakness was that manmade technologies such as cameras were able to see through his illusions.
=== Possessions ===
Twist possessed a purple blaster, and a ghouled Smugglet known as Loki.
== Trivia ==
* Twist got his name because people can never get a hold of him.
* One of his quotes "Follow me if you want to live." might be a reference of the T-800's line "Come with me if you want to live." from the film Terminator 2.
