## Appearances

### Magical Friendship

Years after Doctor Frederick turned to a life of crime, his dark voodoo magic became strong enough to give his own shadow an evil personality of his own. Frederick's shadow then vowed to help his boss, get revenge on Mr. Doberman for being discharged.

Frederick's shadow is seen with his boss in his lair while he's trying to figure out a way to get revenge on Mr. Doberman. Frederick's shadow suggested that his boss would use a disease formula to poison both Felix and Pupnick when they take a sip of it. Frederick told his shadow that the idea was a genius idea. Frederick got the disease formula and he successfully poisoned Felix, who was going to die in three days.

After Frederick learned that Pupnick and the gang are on their way to Iowa to retrieve the antidote, Frederick didn't know what to do until his shadow told him that he should ask the voodoo spirits for help. They summoned the Shadow Animals to find Pupnick and the gang and then kill them. Fortunately, Pupnick was able to defeat the Shadow Animals which made Frederick very angry and his shadow scared of his intense rage.

Frederick then trapped Matthew and the others in shadow ropes and was attempting to retrieve the disease formula from Pupnick and then kill him. When Pupnick didn't listen to Frederick's manipulation, he threw the antidote to Dominic but Frederick's shadow grabbed and was about to destroy it, as soon as Frederick kills Pupnick. Frederick's shadow wasn't able to do that when Pupnick destroyed the disease formula and send both Frederick and his shadow down to the Voodoo Spirits Jail.
