## Personality

Hacker is known to be narcissistic, egoistical, and power-hungry cyborg whose goal is nothing to do but to conquer the realm of Cyberchase. Hacker is also very abusive towards his henchmen, Buzz and Delete, by berating them whatever it goes wrong, although he respects them for doing their work.

Prior to his conquest and his banishment from Cyberchase, Hacker was once a loyal assistant of Dr. Marbles who assisted in building Motherboard until his ego and hunger for conquering Cyberchase came in his way.

After abandoning his attempted conquest of the computer realm of Cyberchase, Hacker becomes bent on ruling Earth along with Jafar and Dr. Facilier, showing him that he is taken very seriously.

## History

### Cybernetic Nights Saga

#### First Appearance

Hacker first appears berating his henchmen, Buzz and Delete, for not letting the portal work that would transfer them to earth to conquer it. Buzz says to Hacker that the portal would only take a few minutes to open, but Delete says to Buzz that the portal immediately opens itself while observing it. Hacker finally says to his henchmen that's it is their opportunity to go to Earth and rule it. As they jump out from the Cyberchase, Hacker, Buzz and Delete end up being stuck in the desert country of Agrabah. Hacker wonders what kind of a place is this while accidentally stepping on an oil lamp before being pushed back into the market by an ancient sorcerer freeing from his imprisonment.

Hacker asks who the sorcerer is, the sorcerer replies to him that he is Jafar, the Grand Vizier who wants to conquer Agrabah and the universe. Hacker is fond to see someone evil like him to conquer their worlds. Jafar asks Hacker what he wants. Hacker says that they share common enemies that protect their worlds. Jafar smiles as he offers Hacker an alliance to conquer Earth. Hacker accepts Jafar's deal by shaking hands with the sorcerer. Jafar teleports to the palace along with Hacker and his henchmen by using his staff. Jafar then tells Buzz and Delete to secretly use their disguises as old beggars to trick the Anti-Villain League, but Hacker questions Jafar how does he know a lot of things. Jafar says to Hacker that his staff is not only a trusty weapon, but also a helpful tool. Buzz and Delete agree with Jafar's suggestion and they are turned into old beggars by the sorcerer before being sent to outside of Gru's house.

#### First confrontation with the Gru sisters and the Samaritan brothers

Hacker is later seen mad at the loss of his henchmen, Buzz and Delete, defeated by Kakarot's and Agnes' mothers, Gine Samaritan and Lucy Wilde, while watching the footage of the battle. Hacker then asks Jafar what can he do to defeat the Gru and Samaritan families from protecting earth. Jafar says to Hacker that they will both teleport to Gru's house. But the sorcerer claims that he is going to observe the future fight until the Hacker is defeated. Hacker agrees with Jafar and they both teleport to Gru's house, making sure Gine and Lucy aren't here inside the house.

After teleporting to Gru's house, Hacker and Jafar immediately confront Kakarot, Turles, Vegeta, Agnes, Raditz, Edith, Granolah, and Margo in front of the television. Turles tells both Hacker and Jafar to move out from the television, but Hacker antagonizes the Saiyan by telling that he should not survive without his parents. The kids are shocked on Hacker's reaction to Turles. Turles is immediately angered at Hacker's hasty reaction and immediately attacks Hacker by flying towards him with his fist up. But Hacker slaps the Saiyan crashing into the rhinoceros chair. Jafar claps happily at Hacker, telling him that this was good fight. Hacker gives Jafar a thumbs up before he gets kicked behind the back by Kakarot and Agnes. Hacker then gets his hand bitten after he gets up by Gru's family dog, Kyle. Hacker panickily drags the dog away by throwing him outside of the house. Agnes complains "Not our fluffy doggy again!" after witnessing Hacker throw Kyle out of the house. Kakarot says to Agnes that this is their only to prevent the invaders from defeating their friends before Hacker grabs their throats and raises them in midair, choking them. But the mother of Felonious Gru, Marlena Gru, rushes into action and chops Hacker behind, letting go of Kakarot and Agnes. Marlena tells Hacker to let go of Agnes and her friend, but Hacker turns his attention to Marlena and says to her that going back into action is none of her business. Marlena gets crashed into the wall by Hacker's kick. Hacker then insults Agnes by calling her a spoiled brat and says to her what is she going to with her grandmother defeated. Agnes shouts very loudly at Hacker after seeing her adoptive grandmother gets kicked into the wall by the latter, causing Hacker's eardrums to get pierced. Jafar quietly points out Agnes has an excessive anger, but Hacker groans in pain after having his eardrums pierced by Agnes' loud scream. Hacker infuriatedly turns his attention to Agnes, who pierced his eardrums by shouting out loud. Vegeta says to Kakarot that it's their chance to save Agnes from Hacker's wrath, which the Saiyan agrees by nodding his head. Both Kakarot and Vegeta charge at Hacker with their elbows up and hitting him behind, allowing Agnes to stomp Hacker's foot so hard. Hacker yelps in pain and Gru's scientist, Dr. Nefario, rises from the elevator, jumps into the living room, and fires the Fart Gun at Hacker, seemingly defeating him. Jafar takes Hacker and teleports away into the palace of Agrabah with his snake staff before Dr. Nefario shoots him with his Fart Gun.

#### Second confrontation against the Samaritan brothers and the Gru sisters

Hacker is seen recovering from his injuries Kakarot, Vegeta, and Agnes inflicted on him inside a healing tank. Jafar wonders what he should do next without Hacker. But Jafar's villainous human ally, Dr. Facilier, tells him that Hacker has a lot of time to recover from his injuries he sustained from the previous battle. But Jafar says to Facilier that the Bacta liquid's effect on Hacker already recovered him. Hacker exits from the healing tank and tells Jafar and Facilier that it's time to reshape Earth into their own image, which the sorcerer and the witch doctor agree with the cyborg before teleporting the kids to the desert kingdom of Agrabah. Kakarot wonders why they are teleported into the desert kingdom of Agrabah in the first place, Agnes panickily warns Kakarot that Hacker and Jafar will kill them all in the first place if their parents didn't arrive at Agrabah. Vegeta says to Kakarot and Agnes that they have to protect themselves by making a circle along with their allies. Hacker creates a virus and throws at Turles, causing him to get stuck in midair. Kakarot protests Hacker not to kill and let go of Turles, but Hacker refuses as he detonates Kakarot's cousin into oblivion, killing him. Kakarot angrily calls Hacker a ruthless and heartless bastard as he starts to transform into his golden-haired form, causing thunderstorms to strike down the ground and grounds shake below. Hacker is shocked that Kakarot is starting to transform into his new state. Kakarot says to Hacker that he is going to make him suffer after killing his cousin, Turles. Kakarot screams in rage as he transforms into a Super Saiyan. Hacker is completely shocked at observing Kakarot as a Super Saiyan for the first time. Kakarot tells Agnes to get his brothers and her sisters to safety as he and Vegeta have no problem of beating Hacker, Jafar, and Dr. Facilier. Agnes agrees with Kakarot as she takes her sisters and Kakarot's brothers to safety. Kakarot and Vegeta turn to Hacker from face to face. But Hacker says to Kakarot and Vegeta he has a hidden power inside him as he charges his ki up to max, transforming into his Super form.
