Mr. E

"Everything will work out fine, you see Scooby is a far more trusting companion then Pericles was to me."

- Mr. E revealing himself to be Ricky Owens; his most famous quote.

Ricky Owens, better known as Mr. E, is the secondary antagonist of the cartoon series ''Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated''. He is the CEO of Destroido Corp. who seeks to obtain the Planisheric Disk in order to find the cursed treasure of Crystal Cove. He is also Shaggy Roger's counterpart of the original Mystery Incorporated.

He was voiced by famous comedian Lewis Black, who also voiced Linnux.

Appearance
Mr. E is a middle-aged, obese man with long brown hair, brown beard. He wears a purple coat with a wax seal contains the letter "E" on it. Inside, Mr. E wears a T-shirt with the colors of yellow and white.

As Ricky when he is still young, he wears similar clothes, but without the coat. Ricky is also notably thin, with little beard on his chin.

Personality
When he was young, Ricky possessed a similar clumsy personality like Shaggy Rogers, and he also views Professor Pericles as a friend similar to how Shaggy views Scooby as a friend.

As Mr. E, he is mysterious, dark, serious. Ricky is no longer the boy he used to be, but rather a mastermind who, along with Pericles, commits crimes around Crystal Cove. However, even then, Ricky shows that he is not truly evil after all, and in his final moments, he tries his best to protect the Mystery Gang, though failed.

It is implied that he has a romantic relationship with his fellow member Cassidy Williams.

Past
Mr E. is once Ricky Owens, the equivalent of Shaggy Rogers in the original Mystery Inc.. When he is still a young child, Ricky met Professor Pericles who was injured due to crashing into a tree in his front yard, and nursed Pericles back to health, however the parrot returned and decided to be his permanent friend. Together, they founded the original Mystery Incorporated, along with Cassidy Williams, Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves. During a hunt for secrets in Crystal Cove, Pericles was corrupted by the presence of the Evil Entity and betrayed his gang, along with Mayor Fred Jones Sr., who forced them to leave the town forever. Ricky disappeared for many years after this.

Season 1
Now posing as a mysterious man called Mr E., Ricky called K-Ghoul and said that they shouldn't had brought back the locket that Daphne Blake found in the sewers and that the real mystery had just begun He scolded Velma for double crossing him and kicking Marcy out of the group, but she hung up on him before he could finish.

Season 2
Eventually Ricky was summoned to a meeting by Professor Pericles, with the other original Mystery Inc.. Cassidy, Brad and Judy consequently turned down Pericles, but E rejoined forces with former best friend, and plotted with him to destroy Cassidy, who began leaving cryptic messages about all of their wrong doings from her radio station.

As time went on, Pericles, Brad and Judy had turned against Ricky and, to makes matters worse, Pericles implanted a mutant cobra larvae in his spinal column in his sleep, which put him back under Pericles control.

Mr E. continued to grow to hate Pericles, as he watched the parrot's methods getting crueler and crueler, so he tried once again to stop the latter, when Pericles told him to make sure the robots killed everyone they had kidnapped for slave labor once they had no more use for them. Despite this, Pericles still managed to force him to continue doing his biddings.

Finally after the Evil Entity was released and possessed Pericles and consumed Brad and Judy, Rick was all that was left. He managed to save Mystery Incorporated from the Entity but was devoured himself. However, in the new timeline created by destroying the Entity and therefore undoing the effects of it's influence, Ricky is seen as being handsome and in good shape, as well as happily married to Cassidy, friends with Pericles again, and the CEO of Creationex Corp rather than Destroido Corp.
