Evil King

* Evil King
* Evil King's Ghost

 The **Evil King** is a major antagonist in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom* who was the show’s main villain from near the end of Season 2 up until the end of Season 4. He was a powerful king who made enemies with Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. After this, the guys had to catch his ghost in an Urn in order to keep his ghostly powers contained, even after his death.

## Appearance

The Evil King’s physical form was a green troll figure who was tall, mostly bald apart from a few stray white hairs and had evil eyes with blue pupils and red irises, huge grey eyebrows and a few yellow teeth, which formed a wicked smile. He wore a platinum crown plated with gems he had taken on his conquest across the lands, and his body came equipped with powerful Auric armor plates, a dark blue cape and a golden chain with a powerful void ruby which he sometimes used for aid in combat. He often wielded a powerful golden staff, which could harness elemental powers that were unleashed upon his enemies, dealing brutal damage.

His ghost form was rather similar in appearance to his lively version but with some differences: It did not have legs, with an ethereal ghost tail in place of them, and he was entirely a ghostly blue with terrifying, blank white eyes. Though, his ghost was considerably smaller then his physical version.

## Background

The Evil King had a rather rough childhood; his parents often neglected him and sometimes even forgot that he existed, other kids picked on him for being a troll so he was quiet different and he never managed to get anything he wanted. The only time he's physically seen as child is in the Season 6 finale where Mort, Turtle Man and Officer M. had time travelled back to find out anything about Hector Flores' movies and saw him doing a street performance, but Officer M. threw a rock at him which messed up the timeline so they had to go back again and undo it.

The Evil King had decided that he had enough of being pushed around by everybody, so decided to form an alliance with some of his friends to take revenge on those who had wronged him, starting with his bullies. After exterminating them, he turned his focus to other targets such as gaining more power and resources by invading sparse lands across the world, as well as expanding his territory and army further and further. When his friends who had sided with him long ago wanted out this conquest, he had them mercilessly executed, despite him possibly not being where he had gotten if it weren't for them.

The Evil King's next attack was on an ancient underwater city inhabited by hundreds of sea creatures, one of which being a juvenile Turtle Man. This attack of his is first shown and revealed to the audience during Turtle Man’s flashback whilst telling the guys about his history in the second movie, *The Lost Origins*, showing that Turtle Man knew the king before the events of the show. Having had his parents butchered by the king himself, Turtle Man had grew an eternal hatred for the Evil King and would swear revenge on him someday for as long as he lived. The Evil King would not meet Turtle Man again for many many years, continuing his quest to take over the world for the way it once wronged him, eventually meeting Turtle Man again with his new friends, Officer M. and DaPhantom, and instantly recognised him. The Evil King instantly decided that he would need to destroy these 3 heroes and employed many plans against them and the Countryside where they lived, such as hiring minions like a woman he knew called Elizabeth to take a hit on them or building a massive Cube to synergise some of his most powerful energy, but these were foiled by the trio.

The final battle against the Evil King and the group occured on top of a volcano in The Bahamas, where the Evil King had destroyed DaPhantom's Airship and was fighting the three when they had knocked him into the brimstone volcano, which completely killed him. However, due to the volcano's phantasmal nature, it caused his own ghost to be released which terrified Turtle Man and Officer M, but DaPhantom managed to catch his ghost in an urn he had from within the airship's remains. The ghost would remain dormant for a few years, with DaPhantom taking the urn with him when the trio moved to The City of Nexus. However, it was released once more by Turtle Man smashing the urn in a desperate attempt against an evil robot trying to destroy them; the ghost actually did turn on the robot and destroyed it, much to The Devourer's dismay. However, the ghost was now free and decided to go to The Bahamas for a vacation, but DaPhantom decided the ghost is too dangerous to keep out and must be contained, making a new urn for it out of Ectoplasmite from the nearby Ectoplasm Forest. They went back to the very volcano that the Evil King had once died in and used a ghost beacon to get the ghost's attention, which worked and it engaged in combat with them until DaPhantom was successful and captured the ghost once more.

The ghost would remain dormant again for some time until the Pumpkin Punk attacked Nexus in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom: Guardians of Nexus*, and Elizabeth smashed the urn to release the ghost against him. It tried to fight the punk but failed and was captured by him, who used the ghost to absorb a pumpkin grenade explosion's impact. This completely destroyed the ghost's essence, seemingly marking the end of the Evil King's existence on this Earth. This was until alongside millions of other dead souls, he was brought back to life in a ghostly vessel due to the Amulet of Souls' explosion, and lead the other evil spirits during the Soul War, against the heroes. He was the biggest threat of all the villains during the war as he not only had a plethora of ghostly powers such as deadly blasts and impulses but also a powerful red orb which could completely erase people it struck from existence. After most of his soul minions had been defeated, he unleashed an impulse which blasted almost all the heroes back to the City of Nexus and instantly warped there. The Evil King used the red orb to zap everyone away except for Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. and destroyed portions of the city, leaving the Nexus Blacksmith knocked out underneath the rubble of his building. as well as the statue of Hector Flores before releasing another impulse that blasted the trio back to the Countryside where they once lived. He then warped to the Countryside and zapped Turtle Man and DaPhantom, leaving only Officer M. left who tried to fight back but was easily overpowered by the Evil King’s many dangerous abilities. Officer M. was surely to be killed as well, but the Evil King was attacked by the mysterious shadow person (who had helped the trio previously) who revealed herself to him as Ellie. With the king weakened by her attacks, Officer M. managed to seize the red orb and use it to erase him from existence, and the Evil King is unlikely to return again after this war.

## Personality and Relationships

The Evil King was an absolutely wicked and tyrannical being, who would do almost anything to get his way regardless of how cruel or inhumane it was. He did many evil deeds across his reign with next to, if not, no remorse whatsoever for anything that he did and no matter what people it affected. He typically only did things for his own benefit, such as raiding places for their goods or to assert dominance over places and people to gain as much power and control as possible. Seemingly apart from himself, the only people who he showed a bit of respect for was his cohorts and minions, including Elizabeth who was originally on his side but he started to hate her when she turned to the good side for a bit. His ghost did not have much difference in personality, still being a dangerous and power-hungry being within an ethereal form, the ghost also couldn't speak at all and instead would just make echoing and wicked laughs wherever it went to.

The Evil King possessed a great hatred for Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. due to their heroism and constant foiling of his plans, and would make several attempts to destroy them through his plans and inventions.

## Abilities

The Evil King possessed supernatural strength and durability, making him hard to defeat or even just injure that much in battle. He is able to use powerful melee attacks and move very fast, as well as unleash elemental magic through spells using his powerful staff. He also had always worn a void ruby on a necklace around his neck, which had it's own special abilities such as draining energy from his enemies and even possessing weak enough foes.

On top of this, the Evil King was also intelligent and had a near limitless arsenal of supplies and resources at his hand, allowing him to build almost anything that he so desired. For example, on the moon he made a device to draw power and destroy the world in the Season 2 finale, and also made a dangerous Cube in Season 4 that spread some of his dark power wherever it rolled and the heroes had to stop it.

His ghost also possessed some ethereal powers such as being able to fly extremely quickly and being hard to hit due to his smaller size and ghostly form, as well as firing powerful ectoplasm blasts. In the first movie, it's shown that the ghost could also absorb any sort of attack to nullify it's effects, though this ended with the being's complete destruction. The ghost could only be caught in a container made of Ectoplasmite, such as the urn that DaPhantom made which sealed it in until Elizabeth smashed the urn to release it.
