1/6
Simon Says uses his cards to control people and make them do his bidding. When he draws a card, he says "Simon Says", and then makes a command. A black and white silhouette picture relating to the command appears on the card. For example, when he makes Alec Cataldi act like a duck with one of his cards, an image of a duck appears on the card. Simon Says then throws the card at the person, and it fades into their body, causing the person to do whatever he has commanded them to do. He can give a person more than one command, like making Adrien's bodyguard act like a gorilla with and then making him attack Cat Noir with a second card, or he can make multiple cards with the same command at once, like using a handful of cards to transform a group of people into mindless followers. Cards can also affect objects, as Simon Says creates a card that breaks Ladybug's yo-yo. He is also able to throw his cards like knives with incredible accuracy. It doesn't matter if the target can't hear him, as long as he gives a command, the person is controlled.

## Trivia

* His villain form also appears in the theme song animatic.

	+ His villain name in the French version is called Jackady.
