*"Kaboom City is mine!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!"*- Mr. King's quote from Episode 25 of the Superthings Cartoons.

Mr. King is the Ultra Rare from Series 3 and the main antagonist of the SuperThings franchise, alongside Professor. K. He is the Leader of the villains and the most evil and most dangerous out of all of them.

He serves as the overarching villain in Series 2, being the main villain for the Series 3, 4, Power Machines and Mutant Battle Seasons, the secondary antagonist of Series 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11 Seasons, and being one of the 2 main antagonists of the Secret Spies Series (Alongside Oculus Max). In Series 5 he was in Prison Island alongside Professor K but escaped at the end of the series, although later he and Professor K were put back in prison again at the end of Power Machines. Despite not appearing in a lot of episodes since the Power Machines Series, he makes a return in Episode 7 of Neon Power titled Back to the Origins but only because it was a recap of what happened so far, but he later returns in the season finale titled The Return.

He is in affiliation with Professor. K throughout the franchise and is the owner of his dog, Ron Ron. He is the founder and owner of Clank Corp. Before, he was seen as the good guy to the heroes, who were unaware of his evil personality, along with Professor. K himself. He gave patrol to Cornelius and Juicetice to hunt for Enigma, as he stole the Kazoom. It was only in Episode 25 that he was told of his evil form.

## Origin

In Episode 19, it is shown that Mr. King was not purposely a villain in the first place, as he had an obsession with the old hero Grafon and being a Superthing, as well as being an old friend with Professor. K. He was also seen being a student in a school in Kaboom City. Firstly, he is seen watching television on a superhero costume, until his presumed father reminds him that he has to be in the first day of school and not be late. In the school, he and all the other barrel-like characters are seen in an assembly being taught they will become very unique and special barrels. Mr. King seemed to feel bored of the assembly, until Grafon is revealed to make a physical appearance there, making him excited. After the school day, he and a younger version of Professor. K walk in the pavement, as Mr. King explains that he dreams of being like Grafon, blasting soundwaves and being a superhero, while Professor. K states that he wants to experiment with stuff. Mr. King later tells Professor. K what it would be like being a superhero together with powers, later performing kung fu moves and hitting Professor. K accidentally. Annoyed, Professor. K tells him to stop and that he is a barrel only and not a Superthing. Later, he sees Mikron confront with Clankerwood, as he fires pieces of what seems to be letters from a shopping till. Mr. King has empathy for Clankerwood, saying that he should have defeated Mikron, only to see Grafon. He and Professor. K follow the hero to see the battle, but Professor. K warns him about the danger of the battle, Mr. King does not regard the warning though, wanting to go desperately. The two end up at the oil wells, Mr. King observing the fight. Shocked to hear about Grafon saying about no more oil, he starts running, Professor. K yet again warning him about the dangers. Mr. King later gets badly injured by the falling oil well tower, due to Grafon's powers. He ends up in hospital with red eyes formed. Professor. K explains that Grafon made an attack, causing Mr. King's injuries, also bringing him Ron Ron as a little gift. Mr. King meets with the dog as he jumps onto him, only to see one of his arms get replaced with a mechanical one. Mr. King gets enraged that he will not be a Superthing, nor serve as a barrel anymore, he later says that this won't be the end and that one day he will be more powerful, which forms his evil personality, and continues Mikron's legacy.

## Abilities

Although Mr. King doesn't have any abilities of his own, at the end of Series 3 and Power Machines he can be seen using some sort of red tank with a mechanical claw on it, giving him an advantage when he goes into battle.

## Personality

Throughout the Series 3 season, he is seen as the good guy to the Heroes, hiding his true identity, working with the villain. In the past, he is seen as an excited person, being obsessed with the old hero Grafon and thinking about being a Superthing, only ending when he gets injured, turning him evil. He could have indicated to be a hypocrite, as he blames Grafon for his injuries, even though it was clearly his fault as he risked his life to see the battle, as well as deciding to be evil instead, rather than accepting his fate and mistakes and continuing life as normal.

## Appearance

Mr. King takes on the resemblance of an oil barrel. He is seen in dark blue colour with a symbol on the lower middle showing that the barrel is flammable. On the top of Mr. King, a green, liquid-like substance is seen drooling, it is unknown what that substance is. He has red eyes, rather than yellow or white and a metal robotic arm, both were the results of his severe injuries when he was young. He also has white eyebrows, indicating he is an old character. His cape seems to take on a brownish colour, whilst his glove was yellow. When Mr. King was a child, he had brown eyebrows and white eyes. Other differences were that he had oil drooling from the top of him rather than a green substance. He also had a "K" on his middle, rather than a flammable hazard symbol. It is unknown how it changed.
