The Goon Squad (Kaiden and Friends)

The Goon Squad, also sometimes known as The Villain Gang, The Goons, and Team Claiden, is one of the three main antagonistic factions, alongside Claiden's Minions and the Villain Empire, of the Kaiden and Friends franchise. They are a group of villains led by Claiden Goon who is the evil clone of and archenemy of Kaiden, as well as the archenemies of The Toons and Pucca Guardians, which are Claiden, Starly, and Coleman's former allies.
They serve as the main antagonistic faction of the web serial sitcom series, Kaiden and Friends Crossover Show, and other direct-to-video web films such as The Adventure, The Return of Pauler, and Clear Away Toons, and the secondary antagonistic faction of the direct-to-video web film Hader and Gabriel's Mistake, since the Villain Forces are the main antagonistic faction.
== Biography ==
The Goon Squad are a group of villains who are known for causing chaos in Toonopolis, also known as Toon City and Toon Land, and kidnapping civilians, which are toon landers, or toons. The group was founded and created by Claiden Goon after the other villains turned against him. Not only did Claiden create this baddie gang, but he also founded a better evil group of villains called the Jimmy The Stickman Villains, also known as The Stick Villains or The Stick Baddies, the secondary antagonist faction. They also sometimes collaborate with other villains from different shows and movies like Makunga from Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Dr. Eggman from SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, Lucius Heinous VII from Jimmy Two-Shoes, Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, and Twisted Unicorn from Hanazuki: Full of Treasures in Hader and Gabriel's Mistake.
== Members ==
The Goon Clan consists of fourteen members, fifthteen if you count Benjamin's ninjas.
=== Claiden Goon ===
Claiden leads the group of villains. They are the archenemies of both Kaiden and the toons. Additionally, Claiden has a team of henchmen called Claiden’s Minions (also known as Big Bad Minions). These minions serve as a villain army and are the evil counterparts of the toons.
=== Starly ===
Starly is the second-in-command of the crew. Starly’s personality is similar to Ring Ring, who is no longer a villain. Currently, Ring Ring is Kaiden’s older sister-in-law. Kaiden is 13 years old, while Ring Ring is 16 years old.
=== Coleman ===
Coleman is a key player in the Goon Squad. As part of the Goon Squad, Coleman contributes to causing chaos in Toonopolis (also known as Toon City) and kidnapping civilians or toons. His relationship with Claiden Goon and his role as a villain make him a formidable adversary for Kaiden and The Toons.
=== The Blackflag Pirates ===
These pirate bandits play a significant role of the group. The Blackflag Pirates’ primary goal is to search for treasure, while Edvard, in particular, and his crew sometimes seeks revenge on Kaiden for betraying him and his crew, turning the Pucca Guardians against him.
=== Lord Tong ===
Lord Tong is the father figure of the group. He resembles a Star Wars-like villain named Darth Vader and has a bodyguard and right-hand man named Erwin.
=== Erwin ===
Speaking of him, Erwin wields sometimes magical scissors that can teleport or create portals, allowing him to send objects or people to different locations. When he cuts a hole or shoots a portal, it opens a pathway to another place.
=== Eagan ===
Eagan is the field commander of the crew who serves as the archenemy of Edward and Hwayo. He serves as the main antagonist in the episode-like video/webisode The Disappearance of Toons Inc and is also the titular main antagonist of Eagan’s Revenge. He is considered to be one of the most competitive members of the group. Not only does he serve as one of the secondary antagonists, but he also plays the role of a tertiary antagonist (third-in-importance) in Hader and Gabriel's Mistake.
=== Benjamin ===
Benjamin is portrayed as the more evil version of his brother Tobe, who has been redeemed and is no longer a villain. He serves as an archenemy to characters like Laru, The Toons, Baru, Garu, Pucca, and his reformed brother Tobe. His transformation into a member of The Goon Squad occurred when the Pucca villains turned against Claiden Goon, including Tobe, after Kaiden revealed that they were not true villains. Alongside his ninjas, Starly, Coleman, The Blackflag Pirates, Lord Tong, Erwin, and Eagan, Benjamin plays a significant role of the squad.
