## Wreck-It-Ralph

King Candy is first seen hosting the Random Roster Race but however during that time, Vanellope stole the medal from Ralph and use it as a coin in order to get into the race. At first, Candy didn't recognize her, but after Vanellope's name appeared on the racers' list, King Candy tells everyone to calm down and ordered Wynnchel and Duncan to get Vanellope, but a taffy-covered Ralph appears and also tries to catch Vanellope in which distracts everyone, allowing her to escape. Ralph is then captured by Wynnchel and Duncan and was taken to Candy's castle after that.

At the castle, When Candy realizes that the taffy monster is actually Ralph, he did not exactly welcome him to his homeland with open arms and wanted to know what Ralph is doing in Sugar Rush. Ralph explains about himself going into Hero's Duty in order to get a medal and the events between him and Vanellope, Candy briefly believes that Ralph is going Turbo and trying to take over Sugar Rush as well as finding out that the coin Vanellope use is Ralph's metal. King Candy then orders Wynnchel and Duncan to get Ralph out of the giant cupcake and take him back to Fix-it-Felix Jr. as well as threating Ralph that if he ever sees him again, he will lock him in his Fungeon. Candy then leaves to hunt down Vanellope now that she is now able to enter the race if allowed thanks to Ralph. Unfortunately, Ralph escaped and once again met up with Vanellope after was destroyed by other racers who came to bully her. After short conversation Vanellope agreed to help Ralph get his medal if he helped her get an actual kart to win the race.

When Felix and Calhoun came to Sugar Rush looking for Ralph and the Cy-Bug he accidentally brought. The former reveal about Turbo's backstory which is when Litwak's arcade first opened, Turbo was the star of his game TurboTime as well the fact that his game is the most popular game in the arcade, and Turbo loves the attention from gamers. However, another racing game called RoadBlasters and stole TurboTime's popularity due to its superior graphics, thus causing Turbo to become extremely angry and jealous. Enraged and super jealous at this, Turbo abandoned his game and try to take over RoadBlasters, only to end up crashing it, Both TurboTime and RoadBlasters were put out of order permanently as well as being taken away from the arcade. Turbo was presumed to be dead after that and the characters in the arcade made Turbo's story a cautionary tale as well as spawned the idiom "going Turbo".

King Candy and his minions then find Vanellope and Ralph in the Kart Bakery after informed by Beard Papa about Vanellope being in the bakery and when that happened, the duo escape with Vanellope's new cart and the king and his minions started chasing them. When Ralph and Vanellope went to an unfinished track inside the Diet-Cola Mountain, King Candy sees that the two friends are gone, he orders Wynnchel and Duncan to find Vanellope and destroy her new kart to prevent her from ever racing.

When Wynnchel and Duncan were unable to find Vanellope and Ralph, Candy tells them to leave him alone as well as deciding to do the work by himself by entering the game's code room, from where he successfully retrieves Ralph's medal. He then leaves the castle and tells Sour Bill that he is in charge until he gets back. King Candy then managed to find Ralph in the same place he lost him. At first, Ralph is furious to see him and attempted to pummel him, but the Candy reveals the medal in exchange for his mercy and attention. Candy then explains to Ralph that the reason why he is preventing Vanellope from racing is due to the fact he wants to protect her and Sugar Rush, because if Vanellope wins the race, she will be added to game's roster while the players chose her as their avatar as well as the fact that her glitching will make them think the game's broken in which makes the game itself be out of order as a result. King Candy and his people will be forced to evacuate, and Vanellope will be left behind (since her glitching cannot allow her to leave the game) and die with it. Having convinced Ralph to help him, Candy leaves while Ralph then reluctantly smashes Vanellope's kart in which causes Vanellope to cry before returning back to his game in disgrace, which allowed King Candy to finally capture Vanellope and confine her in his Fungeon with Fix-It-Felix.

However, after noticing a picture of Vanellope on the side of the arcade cabinet of Sugar Rush in King Candy's cart, Ralph realized that King Candy lied to him and returned to Sugar Rush as well as interrogates Sour Bill about what he saw who is cleaning the destroyed Vanellope's kart. After the short tortures, Sour Bill reveals that Vanellope was a racer until King Candy try to delete her code (in which explains why she is a glitch) as well as the fact that Candy locked up the racers and citizens' memories. Sour Bill also reveals that if Vanellope crosses the finish line, the game will reset, and she will no longer be a glitch. This truth enables Ralph to rescue Vanellope and fix her kart with Felix's help.

Assured his reign over Sugar Rush was finally safe from Vanellope, King Candy participated in the Random Roster Race without worry. But in the Ice Cream Mountains, which was the final part of the track, he is shocked to see Vanellope pass him and uses a shortcut to ambush her inside the caves, tackling her kart with his own in an attempt to run her off the track. The angered king starts attacking her with the antenna of his kart, but she managed to grab it, causing him and Vanellope to glitch as well and exposing King Candy's identity as Turbo in front of Ralph and Felix who saw everything on a large screen; both were so shocked about Turbo surviving from both TurboTime and RoadBlasters being unplugged after they believed he was dead. With his true identity revealed, Turbo boasted his identity and his reprogramming of Sugar Rush to his liking, and then attempted to kill Vanellope by ramming her and her kart into a stalagmite with a sign but Vanellope willingly glitched herself and her kart away from Turbo. Angered at this, Turbo attempted to follow Vanellope, but he was eaten alive by a Cy-Bug (the one Ralph accidentally brought into the game) that appeared on the track.

As Sugar Rush was about to be destroyed by the Cy-Bugs, Ralph has a plan which is wrecking the mento stalactites towards the boiling Diet-Cola in the Diet-Cola Mountain in which would set off a makeshift light beacon in a form of a geyser capable of attracting the Cy-Bugs to their deaths by vaporizing them on contact. As Ralph prepares to make the mentos fall, Turbo arrives and swats him away, revealing that he survived getting killed by the Cy-Bug (as Cy-Bugs could merge whatever they consumed) as well as the fact that he is now an Cy-Bug and of course The Cy-Bugs' new leader. Turbo then announces that thanks to him, he is now the most powerful virus in the arcade and that he can take over any game he wants (including Ralph's homeland game Fix-It-Felix Jr.). Ralph and Turbo then fight, ending with the latter grabbing Ralph away from the mountain and flying up into the sky, where he sadistically forces Ralph to watch Vanellope getting killed by several Cy-Bugs.

Turbo declared that its "game over" for both Ralph and Vanellope, but Ralph disagrees, and he frees himself from Turbo's grasp and makes one final blow at the Diet-Cola geyser. As Ralph is about to fall into the boiled cola, Vanellope saves Ralph in time by using her glitching abilities (which she can now control) and a kart belonging to Crumbelina DiCaramello. The soda spews out of the bottle-shaped volcano, causing several Cy-Bugs to go towards it killing them. Turbo tries to prevent them from going into the beacon, but he become attracted to the beacon as well thanks to his programming. Turbo attempts to flee, but his programming continues to make him go to the beacon in which causes his death (as it was stated that video game characters cannot regenerate outside their own games).

## Personality

Even before deciding to try to take over RoadBlasters and then take over Sugar Rush, Turbo was already quite arrogant and self-centered. He loves the attentions the players give him as well the fact that his game was originally the most popular game in the arcade and became extremely angry and jealous when RoadBlasters stole his popularity. Due to having an inflated ego, Turbo is obsessed with getting his popularity even if it meant to take over other games in which he doesn't belong to.

That said, after somehow surviving the incident, instead of learning from his mistakes and feeling remorse for his selfish actions. Turbo continued his quest to regain the popularity that he had lost. To do this, he took over Sugar Rush by trying to delete Vanellope's code as well as locking the memories of the game's racers and citizens in order to make it look like that, he is the true ruler of the game. When he spends half of his life as King Candy, he pretended to be a nice and fun-loving ruler (although in reality, he is evil just like said before given that when Vanellope tries to be racer, he prevents her from doing so as the fact that he lied to Ralph about the reason why he doesn't want Vanellope to become a racer.).

Turbo is also a hypocrite, as shown when he heard that Ralph had game-jumped to Hero's Duty to win a medal, he quickly accused Ralph of "Going Turbo" and briefly believed that he is trying to take over Sugar Rush, despite doing the same thing before. This is pretty much part of his King Candy facade given it was revealed that King Candy and Turbo are the same person.

Turbo is also intelligent, and manipulative given that mentioned before. He tricked the citizens and racers of Sugar Rush into thinking that he is the true ruler of Sugar Rush as well as the fact that Vanellope isn't supposed to exist. Another example of this when Turbo tricked Ralph into thinking that the reason why he cannot let Vanellope be a racer is because he wants to protect her while in reality, it was because he can conutine be the ruler of Sugar Rush.

When transforming into a Cy-Bug, Turbo evilness has become more worse given that not only he wants to take over Sugar Rush but take over the entire arcade. With his new form, he became the new leader of the Cy-Bugs as well also the fact it's pretty clear that he wants to use the Cy-Bugs into helping him take over the arcade given he tries to prevent them from going into the beacon which is before his death.
