Mal

"One by one, they will all fall."

**Mal**, also known as **The Malevolent One** is the main antagonist of *Total Drama All-Stars* and *Pahkitew Island*.

He is an evil personality of Mike who appeared as one of the former's alternate personalities sealed up in his mind, thus serving as Mike's internal foe and archnemesis.

## Backstory

Before Total Drama, Mal used to be a big part of Mike's life. After causing too many problems, he was sent to juvenile detention, where he quickly took over, striking fear into the other people in the center. After, Mal was forced to the back of Mike's mind, and forgotten about.

While in a challenge, Mike (as Manitoba Smith) is hit over the head with a shovel by Scott, causing Mal to reawaken inside of Mike's subconscious. Once freed, he quickly imprisons the other personalities, and forced them to work for him. Once all his personalities were captured, the only thing stopping Mal was Mike. Mal convinces him that nobody would beat Mike if Mal was in control. Mike accepts and Mal kills him, forever taking control of the body, winning Total Drama All Stars and 1 million dollars.

Zoey gets upset when Mal tells her that Mike is dead and will never return, causing Zoey to attack and Mal to push her from the top of the moats. But the island begins to sink and Mal steals the Chris' Jetpack and flees the island with the money, joining the Bad End Friends.

## Profile

### Appearance

Mal bears a resemblance to Mike, except that his hair drapes over his left eye. There are also darker circles around his eyes and smaller black pupils in his eyes. He also speaks in a deeper voice than he has in his normal Mike persona.

### Personality

Mal is cunning, manipulative, ruthless and sadistic. As Duncan said, he enjoys causing trouble for the fun of it. He is practically more evil than the members of the Villainous Vultures. This is mainly because while he mostly commits some harmless yet mean pranks at first, he is one of the few people in the series that are willing to kill. He does this while hiding his true nature behind the voice of the harmless, friendly Mike. However, he has a habit of breaking character but at the same time can immediately tell when someone's not trusting him and come up with a lie on the spot. Even the most intelligent and imaginative manipulators on the show have called his manipulation skills impressive. Until the other contestants started becoming wise, few knew of his true nature aside from Duncan.

## Abilities

Mal is unnaturally strong for his size, capable of effortlessly breaking the wrist of the much more athletic Alejandro and beating up Psycho Girl Izzy in a boxing match, despite the fact that Izzy has come out on top against the likes of Chef Hatchet. And after taking control of Mike, he has access to Svetlana's Agility, Vito's Strength, and Manitoba Smith's keen Instincts, making Mal a foe not to be underestimated.
