Evil Chef

The **Evil Chef** was a villainous character in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom*, a chef who ran a restaurant in France where animals eat people. He was hired by The Devourer to kidnap Officer M. and turn him into a meal for his animal customers to eat, but fortunately Turtle Man and DaPhantom were able to stop him.

## Appearance

The Evil Chef was a pink, humanoid salamander creature who had an absolutely wicked face: It featured a thin black mustache, a crooked set of teeth that he was always forming a terrible smile with and large eyes with small black irises, becoming larger dark yellow coloured when he was angry or devilishly excited. He also had a small tail and wore some dark blue shoes. He wore a traditional chef's outfit, white in colour and including a tall white hat that covered up most of his head.

## Background

The Evil Chef had owned his restaurant for many years before his fateful run-in with Turtle Man, DaPhantom, Officer M. and Quacksia, and it was rather successful among the animal populations. He would serve fresh human meat to his customers served in various different ways and took the most possible amount of pleasure from every single dish that he conceived. His brother Gerald did not agree with his horrible ways and refused to support him in it, but he didn’t care and felt he was better off cooking on his own anyway.

One day, the Evil Chef was contacted by the Sentinels of an old associate, who requested his assistance in doing something for their master. Since the chef knew the Devourer well, he agreed to do whatever job he was asking for, which ended up being to travel to The City of Nexus in order to take a certain, pesky individual and do whatever he pleases with him. He flew all the way to Nexus and took away a certain police individual named Mikhael to his restaurant in France use for a dish, however his friends Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Quacksia quickly noticed his absence, so they decided to head out looking for him. When they reached the airport and boarded a plane, the chef’s own brother Gerald informed them that the Evil Chef came to Nexus and took Officer M. away to his restaurant, and he agreed to fly them there with his plane. Meanwhile, the chef was keeping Officer M. locked in a large freezer for some time, but eventually took him out and was about to cook him, however Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Quacksia broke in to stop him. After an intense fight between them breaks out, they manage to defeat the chef and serve him onto a plate that is thrown out into the restaurant before they depart with haste. Judging by the noises made within after they left, it would seem that the Evil Chef was eaten by his own customers, ravenous since they hadn’t been fed any human meat.

The group thought that they would never have to see or think about the wicked Evil Chef ever again, but when Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. visited Nexus’ Coral Reefs store to buy some Coral Reefs, they were shocked upon the sight of the Evil Chef’s head mounted on the wall inside the shop. Since this shop is also run by a sheep, maybe the sheep was in the chef’s restaurant when he was being eaten, and decided to keep his head as a trophy. When Coral Reefs was announced to later be closing due to health concerns, the guys returned to the store since it reminded Officer M. that he wanted to investigate a little about the Evil Chef's head being there. However, the sheep was trying to run away with his head but was stopped (and accidentally killed) by Turtle Man, so he left them with his head which was now rotten and mouldy but they still wanted to investigate more into it. Unfortunately, thanks to Turtle Man they wouldn't be able to find out why or how exactly he has the head but Officer M. decided that there must be more ways to find out things about it.

The ghost of the Evil Chef appeared during the Soul War where he fought against the heroes using some deadly soul food and utensils, but he was destroyed by his own brother Gerald. The ghost of the sheep shopkeeper from Coral Reefs also appeared, mostly just making some noise until the Evil Chef missed his throw and destroyed the sheep.

## Personality and Relationships

The Evil Chef was an absolutely wicked and monstrous person who may have enjoyed feeding his animal customers, but in the kitchen he loved to torture the people who he was about to turn into food as much as possible. He has no remorse for anybody whatsoever, only taking joy in his morbid creations that are to be fed to the animals; in addition, he seems somewhat insane, like often maniacally laughing for no real reason. The chef was also easy to anger if his wretched work was ever disturbed, such as when Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Quacksia broke into his restaurant to try and take Officer M. back, which made him extremely angry. Also, he is able to speak French since his restaurant is in France.

The Evil Chef was seemingly a distant friend or at least ally of the Devourer, as Storm Weaver and Signus were able to contact him for the Devourer and convince him to come to Nexus and take Officer M. away. Gerald the plane flyer is also the Evil Chef’s brother meaning that they are related; it is hard to tell exactly how the two view eachother since they never had a scene together, but since Gerald helped the guys against him it is seen that Gerald was against his evil career.

## Abilities

Though he was mainly a cook, the Evil Chef was also surprisingly dangerous in combat, being good at moving fast and dodging incoming attacks. He was efficient at taking things from the environment around him and turning them into dangerous weapons, for example using various kitchen utensils against enemies should they ever attack him whilst he is cooking. Furthermore there were also some weapons that he always carried on him in case somebody tried to attack, mainly a huge knife which could cut through bare skin with just a single slice.
