Mickey

***This page contains spoilers for the latest chapters!***

**Mickey** is the major antagonist in Scoob and Shag.

## Description

### Appearance

Mickey is identical to his real world counterpart, Mickey Mouse, with the only difference being his bright red pupils. This is one of few instances of color in the comic so far, along with: the glow of his Ballyhoo, the deity Dee encounters, and Dee's closed captioning after that event, and an image in the episode Fan.

### Personality

Mickey appears to be a mysterious figure with a tragic past, leading him to the current circumstances of the comic. He is also tormented by the power that comes with his Ballyhoo.

## History

Mickey was the commander of the First Fleet. He at some point formed a deal with the original Shag, the exact details of which are still unknown.

We first see Mickey in "One," where he shows the original Shag the cloning chamber. We only get to see small parts of him until Bugs peers through the smoke and wreckage, where the real Mickey emerges. We quickly find out that the Mickey that has been with the group was the original Shag in a costume.

### Pre-war

The first time we saw Mickey as a commander, he approacheed Pat and asked him to remember to come back to this moment 20 years in the future. He doesn't give Pat any further details. A moment later a bloodied, future version of Pat appeared. Mickey asked him to recount all of the events in the last 20 years and wrote all of the information in a notebook. He then useed his Ballyhoo to "turn off" future Pat, and told present Pat that he hopes he "made the most of it."

We found out that Mickey ordered the original Shag to spare one clone in order to use it as a disguise. Mickey brought Velm and the original Shag together in order to breifly describe the plan. He told them that Ballyhoo is "a poison that's created the society we live in," and intended to "wipe the slate clean." He wanted to cleanse Toone from Ballyhoo and begin a new life on Earth. He planned to send the original Shag to Earth to prepare for Mickey's arrival.

Mickey and Velm entered the chamber where Mickey intends to "slumber," where Mickey explains his experiments with Ballyhoo to her. He had run tests with Ballyhoo and the "opposite" of it (Antihoo) on the Martians, and it had gone horribly wrong. So, Mickey had abandoned Mars and cut off all connection in order to make sure that none of that frequency reaced Toone. We discovered at this point that Mars is about to attack Toone. He planned to enter a tube that nullifies all powers, so it'll keep him safe then the fighting begins. He told Velm to remember to activate sleep mode once he's inside, but Velm pushed him in and ran away, leaving Mickey to slowly go insane as he has to watch the war rage on, awake, for 15 years.

### Post-war

Mickey first appeared after the ship blew up and knocked off Mick/Shag's mask. After a brief discussion with Mick, revealed to be the original Shag, Mickey used his Ballyhoo to kill Sam. After this he was briefly distracted by Shag hitting him with a pebble before he turned his attention to Scoob and prepared to fight him. Quickly, Bugs also entered the fight, and Mickey began to fight both of them. Bugs and Scoob are barely a match for Mickey, so Kerm distracted Mickey in the middle of the fight. Scoob reached out to Shag in the moment if respite and Shag turned cyan after channelling Scoob's power. Mickey immediately noticed this, and is cut off by Shag lunging at Mickey. Mickey flipped through his book and seemed to find something, but decided that he needed to buy more time and turned to fight Shag again. He decided to use the time fighting to analyze Shag's new power, and why he was able to channel Scoob's power.

Mickey and Shag fight, and Mickey seemed to be winning due to his "experience," claiming that Shag is "no more to [him] than a lab rat in a maze." Shag, after observing Mickey's Ballyhoo from a distance, found a weakness. He nearly managed to land a hit, but Mickey caught his leg and threw him to the ground. Mickey was disappointed but was "able to get a bit of research," which he wrote in his journal. Just then, Bugs and Scoob showed up, the latter with the original Shag thrown over his shoulder. Mickey threatened Scoob by aiming his hand at Shag, who was lying on the ground, but then his watch went off. He floated off into the sky with a threat and a comment about how he was hungry.

Mickey appeared briefly in Control, where he tells Ger that Ballyhoo and Antihoo come from the same place and were meant to be balanced inside the Toones. He wants to control Antihoo and thinks that if he could, he would be a god. He also says that to a god, bringing back the dead would be a "simple feat."

In Screen, Mickey was in his apartment, waking up to see a fly buzzing around over his head. He got out of bed and put on his slippers, and went into the kitchen to find something to eat in the fridge. He opened the microwave to heat up a plate of spaghetti, when the fly buzzed into the microwave. Mickey closed the microwave on the fly, turned it on, and watched it buzz around. Then, he saw Minnie staring back at him through a pane of glass. This triggered a strange visual of a bright red being resembling the purple one that shows up later in the comic. The microwave beeped, snapping Mickey out of his head. He opened the door and the fly buzzed out, alive.

## Abilities

**Increased Lifespan**: Due to the Ballyhoo energy present in his body, Mickey has a longer lifespan than humans and regular members of his species.

**Levitation:** Mickey has displayed the ability to float through the air.

### Physical Abilities

**Enhanced Strength:** Mickey is strong enough to break concrete walls.

**Enhanced Durability:** Mickey managed to survive taking hits from Shag in his charged state, despite him being powerful enough to create a massive explosion.

### Ballyhoo

**Power**: Mickey's Ballyhoo is Power, it allows him to "turn off" anybody and anything by collapsing their entire being inward through a vortex, similar in style to the way an old-fashioned television might turn off. Because it functions the same way a power button would on a TV remote, it is also possible to bring back anything that he has "turned off."
