**Gooper** is the main antagonist of the Carl series. He is the school bully as well as another student in Carl's grade at Toad Town High. He is known to be cruel, intimidating and enjoys picking on people, and becomes angry when people such as Carl attempt to stand up to him. He is also the self-proclaimed leader of his gang, which appears to just be his own group of friends.

## Backstory

Not much has been revealed about Gooper's backstory, despite him being such a prominent character in the show. In *The School Dance (2/2)*, it was shown that he lived in a house that resembled the design of a Mega Mushroom, and his parents were absent at the time, although they were mentioned briefly. Other than this, a few lines have referenced his possible negative upbringing, such as saying "They weren't there for me when I was put up for adoption," in *Too Much Water*, although it's unknown if he still lives with his biological parents or adoptive ones. In *The Impossible Test*, it is revealed that he dated Roxanne since he attended middle school. In *Summer of Vacation (1/2),* Gooper cheated on Mary-Lynn with Rain Wilson.

## Appearance

Gooper is a large, yellow Koopa. He has the face of a standard Koopa, although his face features a red tattoo that resembles a scar. He wears a spiked, yellow shell with red rings around the spikes, as well as black spiked cuffs with gold spikes, and black boots with gold studs on the sides. His signature color scheme is yellow and red, and he owns a car and motorcycle that both share this color scheme.

## Personality

Gooper is shown to be a cruel, ruthless, and manipulative person who often picks on other students for his own amusement. He uses intimidation to get what he wants. He gets incredibly pissed off when people stand up to him, and will stop at nothing to get what he wants, going as far as to kidnap Grace in *The School Dance (2/2)* for not wanting to go to the dance with him. He also seems to love aggravating people, even if he himself doesn't benefit from it, such as destroying the wall around the river in *Too Much Water*. Despite his horrible behavior, he is a suck-up to authority figures, and has a hard time taking punishment, such as in *The Motorhome Trip* where he got scared and fled when Calvin showed up. Even though he acts respectable around authority figures, he doesn't seem to care much for the law, as he has broken it on numerous occasions. In *A Christmas Carl* he even threatened to shoot Carl with a Bill Blaster if he didn't hand over a Hotplay album because he wanted to buy for Mary-Lynn.

## Relationship with other characters

### Carl

In the earlier seasons, Gooper enjoyed picking on Carl and making him feel nervous, and Carl rarely stood up to Gooper, and when he did was usually frightened or scared to, (*The Motorhome Trip*) although there were a few exceptions such as in *Carl's Little Sisters*. However, after Carl hit Gooper so hard he crashed through the wall in *The School Dance (2/2)*, Carl has grown more confident and less afraid of Gooper, and is more willing to stand up to him. This angers Gooper, as he still wishes to be able to do whatever he wants, and becomes furious when people stand in the way of that.

### Blooper, Dry Bones & Boo

Gooper cares very little for Blooper, Dry Bones and Boo, however it seems that as they're close friends with Carl, he will go out of his way to pick on them just for being associated with someone he dislikes. This was shown in episodes like *Grounded*, where Gooper mocked Dry Bones for being sad about Talia leaving with Chad, despite his beef being with Carl who wasn't even present at the time. Gooper was also temporarily friends with Dry Bones whenever him and Boo went with Gooper's gang to the Gutts gathering, but he then disliked him again after Jim framed Dry Bones for ratting them out. In the previous series TKK, Gooper and Bob were cool with Blooper. (we dont talk about tkk tho)

### Grace

Gooper seems to not care too much for Grace beyond finding her physically attractive, and often treats her as such. In *The Motorhome Trip,* he threatens to beat up Grace for standing up to him, and in *The School Dance (2/2)* he kidnaps her for refusing to go to the dance with him, and then throws her into a desk when she embarrasses him in front of a group of girls.

### Roxanne

Gooper and Roxanne's relationship hasn't been explored too much, however in *The Impossible Test*, it was revealed that the two used to date in middle school. All Roxanne had to say was that she initially liked him when they first met, however he later became too controlling. However, Gooper wanted to get back together with her in *The School Trip* and they even kissed each other during the episode. Roxanne rejected getting back with him after her friends told her it wasn't right. In Civil War (2/2), Roxanne helped Gooper find out that Chad Brolin hooked up with Mary-Lynn. A little bit later in 5-2, he got back with her because Tucker didn't come for her birthday. (wow) Although, they break up in Bad Roxanne.

### Mary-Lynn

Despite being his girlfriend, Gooper appears to not care much for Mary-Lynn at all. In *Logan's New Girlfriend* he isn't concerned that she's upset about him cheating on her in the slightest, and in *The School Dance (2/2)* he traps her in a cupboard so he can take Grace to the dance instead. Tough Luck Mary Lynn.

### Liam & Bob

Liam and Bob appear to be Gooper's closest friends, as he seems to respect them more than the rest of his gang members. Despite this, he is still shown to get frustrated with them when they fail to do what he asks, such as in *Detention* when the two failed to bring Carl to Gooper. The two don't appear to be loyal to him 100% of the time, however, as in *The Motorhome Trip* the two bail on trying to help him find Carl, in *Too Much Water* the two don't show much concern after Gooper is knocked into the air by the Gyarados in the river, and when Liam punched Gooper in the face in *Bad Roxanne (2/2)*.

### Jim

Gooper cares very little about Jim, and often insults him whenever he does as little as opens his mouth. In many episodes he, or another student (mostly a gang member) yells "Shut up, Flaig!" and in *The School Dance (2/2)* he tells him "those are only for members of the gang who matter!" after Jim asks him for a Popsicle. In *Snow Day.* He, Liam and Bob even attempt to abandon Jim at a gas station so they can go to Gooper's house for the night without him, simply because they find him annoying and believe he'll ruin the night by making cringy Fortnite jokes.

(editor note: i feel bad for jim. his references are so awkward that its just funny)
