Darrell Boxman, better known as simply Darrell, is a major antagonist in the 2017 Cartoon Network series OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes.
He is a robot model produced by the evil company Boxmore, and one of the many robotic children of Lord Boxman, who assists in his father's quest to eliminate friendship and destroy Lakewood Plaza Turbo, primarily just to gain his admiration. After feeling dejected by his father, he usurps control of Boxmore from him, becoming Lord Cowboy Darrell, although he eventually rescinds control of the company to Boxman and Professor Venomous.
He was voiced by Ian Jones-Quartey, the original creator of the series.
History[]
In "Let's Be Heroes", Darrell is sent to Lakewood Plaza and begins assaulting its inhabitants with his arm cannon. Seeing this as his chance to prove himself as a hero, K.O. readily jumps into battle with Darrell and begins to fight him off. Just as K.O. is about to beat Darrell, he wakes up, and realizes that, in reality, Darrell had easily knocked him out and was still fighting with Rad and Enid. Before long, Mr. Gar intervenes and destroys Darrell's body, sending his head flying.
In "Let's Be Friends", Darrell's head crashes into Lord Boxman's office. Boxman is not pleased with his son's failure and decides to lecture his head on why he despises friendship so much. After the lecture is completed, Boxman brings Darrell to the furnace, and coldly throws his son's head into the flames, melting him. Boxman creates a new Darrell to replace the previous one, and walks off annoyed when he greets him. Several other Darrells are later seen when K.O. infiltrates Boxmore, and when Rad and Enid arrive to rescue him.
One day when he saw that his use in Boxmore was so big, It made him believe that he was Boxman's favorite son and decided to look for him, but he found Boxman Jr. who had told him it was his favorite son, this gave him a seizure. So great was the jealousy that he wanted to show Boxman that he was truly evil by talking to Cosma about the mess that Boxman Jr. created in Boxmore so he could fire Boxman and return to Darrell the new ECO of Boxmore.
It has been 3 months since Boxman was fired and Darrell was in the power of Boxmore under the new name of Lord Cowboy Darrell, in power and without the control of Boxman he became independent and said that Boxmore will become a real company. but apparently Boxman returned from the sun, but since Darrell was in a new position of power, he put it in the tripocks that he was doing it. After Boxman went to confront Darrell, he realizes how truly important Darrell is and gets real pride from him. At the end when Boxman left, Darrell wanted to make him proud and decided to follow his legacy of attacking the Plaza.
In "Boxman Crashes", Darrell appears at the end of the episode where he's seen in his office looking saddened, most likely because he's found himself bored of his job and saddened by Boxman no longer being present. When his father returns after the company was bought back from the Board of Villains, Darrell welcomes him with open arms and willingly hands the title of CEO back to his father without resistance. When Professor Venomous appears from the shadows, Darrell is surprised, but doesn't resist and allows him to assume control over the company alongside Boxman.
