Tansit

Tansit' was a minor villain from the 1960s Space Ghost series who would later appear on Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Appearing in only a single episode of the original series, Coast to Coast gave him an expanded role as a comedic role.

Description
Tansit was a space pirate aided who specialized in hi-jacking. He had an advanced space ship and also rode in a powerful hovering chariot that fired lethal death lasers. He and his crew kidnapped Jan and Jace for attempting to interfere with their plans, but were thwarted by Space Ghost. Tansit's chariot was damaged by Space Ghost and he was sent spiraling into the "death mist" of his home planet, which Space Ghost claimed no one had ever returned from. Of course, given how the villains of Space Ghost seem to have a penchant for encountering near-death experiences and returning unscathed, it is likely he survived.

In Coast to Coast, Tansit was one of the villains pardoned by Space Ghost to help him with his talk show. He served as Moltar's replacement on the Council of Doom, as they were both bulky men in orange suits with helmets. He even substituted for Moltar in the control room a number of times, though he always failed. In Season 4, he served as an announcer when every episode began, but was eventually fired by Space Ghost.

In Coast to Coast, Tansit was portrayed as fat, cowardly, incompetent and would often try to bully or scare others to get his way, only to be easily defeated or called out. His scary suit and voice only served to mask his general incompetence and weakness.

Trivia

 * It has been theorized that Tansit was a henchmen of a villain Space Ghost previously defeated, choosing to try to become a villain on his own. This would explain his general incompetence with his own technology, as it was likely stolen or left over.
