Spectra Corp

Spectra Corp was the original research company before its conversion into the Rainbow Factory in Elmore. On the surface, it worked as both a marketing team and production facility of artificial rainbows; the more natural ones being produced from magic in their main station in Netherworld. But hidden beneath its facade was actually a cloning facility created by Dr. Zach Osseo, an anthropomorphic canine. He and his team of geneticists sought to wipe out all of the world's abnormalities (paper mache, anthropomorphic foods, toys, etc) so the more ideal species (felines, rabbits, dogs, other earth creatures) could dominate. To pull this off, they turned to one of the heavily working families, the Seincords, to use their child as a template for the first of this generation that will eventually evolve to overtake all the currently existing ones they see as undesirable. They kept this a secret as to not scare off their subjects and began to teach Nicole about their imperative, effectively instilling their worldview into her. While continuing their work, an accident occurred in their upper facility in which a gas leak brought out from a faulty cloning pod containing Nicole 09. Believing all the others to have been killed in the initial explosion, the Senicourts were forced to take the clone in place of their daughter, leaving the original Nicole to be fully trained in the hidden lower facility by Dr. Osseo’s recordings, and expand her clone army for decades.

The remnants of the company make their debut in The Watterson as the primary antagonists, taking Elmore hostage to have Gumball, Anais, or Nicole join them as leaders of the new society after the destruction of all abnormal life on Earth. While the Nicole clones were busy fulfilling their mission, Supreme Nicole took it upon herself to produce a separate army from Richard Watterson's DNA, and creating 3 guardians in the image of Bimm. When it seemed her current forces were going to be turned over to Gumball's side, she activated the other army in hopes of completely overrunning the Earth's populace. Fortunately, with her demise, all of her replicants were free to live new lives in the Toonverse, finally putting an end to Spectra Corp's mission.

## Affiliates

* **Professor Zach Osseo -** Zach was the founder of Spectra Corp and its Rainbow Factory subsidiary, and father of Walton Osseo. He believed the many strange people and places on Earth to be a cancer to its natural order, creating an incredibly imperfect society. His biggest example was Elmore, which he viewed as the ultimate mistake. His teachings to Nicole Senicourt influenced her to develop the same worldview at a young age and agree with most of his claims. However, when a gas leak broke out at the main lab, though Nicole and her duplicates were saved, Osseo was at his office at the time of the explosion, unable to escape. After Spectra Corp’s destruction, Zach’s tapes of the cloning process and more were recovered by the Rainbow Factory, which eventually evolved into a corporate entity stationed in Elmore. As a family man, Zach was a respectable father but didn’t appear all that much in Walton’s life to tend to his work. He kept his ethics and job position a secret to those outside his company, claiming himself to have been a manager or a lower worker in the main Spectra building rather than the CEO.
* **Nicole Senicourt/Supreme Nicole -** Nicole Senicourt was the template of the Spectra Corp clones and their leader after the death of Zach Osseo. She intended to fulfill his mission to wipe the Earth clean of abnormalities, producing other clones and expanding her magical prowess at the cost of degrading her body. To compensate, she attempted to summon Gumball for him to take her place as ruler of the new world. However, even with all her machinations, Gumball fought against her and brought the clones to the side of good. She died when she attempted to lobotomize Gumball only to slip and hit her face.
* **Tim the Tortoise -** Tim was the head chief at the main Spectra building and its only known employee still remaining after the gas leak, inadvertently saved when Zach Osseo told him he could take his shift that day. He purchased his own diner in Netherworld where he would get to know just about everyone in town, including Jeff Gator, who was like a son to him. When Walton brought Gumball and friends to Netherworld, Tim wasn't afraid of Nicole 39 and understood that Zach had a hidden goal he sought to fulfill with the clones. He rallied the citizens of town and brought the heroes to Spectra Corp, fighting the new clone army until Gumball could stop Supreme Nicole. Tim would later marry Jeff's mother, Alison.

## Creations

### Nicole Clones

* **Nicole 09 (Nicole Watterson)** - Though many had come to believe Nicole to be the direct daughter of the Senicourts, she was in fact a clone, part of the first batch of 50. Her pod was wired incorrectly and her power inhibitors were jammed, causing her to maintain her potential but lead to the gas leak that destroyed the main Spectra facility. She was rescued by her parents, who were led to believe that their real daughter had died in the explosion, forcing them to take the clone in as their own. This duplicate would go on to raise a family in Elmore, play a pivotal role in the Toon Wars, and unlock her fullest potential as a cosmic entity.
* **Commander Nicole (Nicole 03/Belle)** - “Try dropping a nuke and we’ll return it to sender with more coming.” The stern but obedient second in command, being one of the earliest batches of clones. She claims herself to be the most balanced among her siblings, using her intellect to plan effective strategies to fulfill the mission of Spectra Corp. To Darwin, this is the closest Gumball would get to a near perfect replica of his mother's prowess prior to the Toon Wars. Despite her strength and speed being enough to deal great harm to both Gumball and Penny, she is not quite on the same level as her 9th sibling, the Watterson, nor is she able to match the cosmic power of Supreme Nicole. Nevertheless, she compensates for both these odds using effective battle and psychological tactics to her advantage. This allows her to trick even an intelligent being like Bobert into tight situations they were generally unprepared for, and accurately predict specific strategies from others. Unfortunately, she suffers from extreme anxiety when things don't go according to plan. Such is the case when Supreme Nicole changes her goal to completely wiping out sentient life to make way for her new Richard clones. In the end, she realizes her wrongdoings and returns to Elmore to right what she's done, living a new life in place of the Watterson's.
* **Nicole 39 (Mary)** - This young clone of the 30th batch is one of the more peaceful copies among Spectra Corp, coming off as rather shy and nurturing rather than trigger happy like the rest. Unlike Supreme Nicole's goal of having Gumball take her place, 39 prefers to keep him away from the world, fearing that it maybe a threat to him than a place to live in. When she met Walton and was brought to Netherworld, she explained her stance on the matter but didn't wish to fight. Instead she journeys along with Gumball and company to try to understand them better, getting herself acquainted with activity outside of Spectra Corp. Eventually, after hearing the tapes of Zach Osseo, 39 switched sides to help Gumball stop Supreme Nicole's ultimate plan, managing to convince the other clones that what they're doing is wrong. Afterward, she married Walton and changed her name to Mary after her mother, Mary Senicourt.
* **Nicole 24 (Glados Breen) -**
* **Nicole 41 (Pana) -** One of the younger batches of clones created before Supreme Nicole could enact her grand plan. This youthful duplicate acts more like Gumball, albeit peppier and more excitable. Like a child, she is very naive but never ignorant to her mission. Only the details surrounding the people she would be facing, whom she began to grow attached to. Nicole 39 would soon develop the same idealism when working with her. Her jumpsuit and armor are unique with more flexibility, a brown skirt, goggles, and heavy boots which if needed could be rocketed into an opponent or obstacle. 41 is the first clone seen in the Watterson who shoots Richard and abducts Gumball. Later, when Gumball and his allies vanished from Elmore, 41 was able to track them to Netherworld all on her own and confronted them multiple times before ultimately allying with Darwin after encountering the Richard clones. She's since changed her name to Pana.
* **Nicole 08 (Bernice) -**
