Villains Overview

Bah!
~ Purple Minions' famous quote.

The Purple Minions, or Evil Minions, are the secondary antagonists of Illumination's 4th feature film Despicable Me 2, the second installment of the Despicable Me franchise.

They were Gru's minions after being abducted by El Macho who turn them into purple monsters with the PX-41 serum for his global domination.

They were voiced by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud.

Personality[]

These Minions are the state of extreme mutation caused by the mutagen PX-41 entering their blood vessels. The Evil Minions are for all intents and purposes, made to be indestructible: They are immune to weapons like flamethrowers, guns, axes, and undercover police cars: and are able to withstand the explosion from swallowing a bomb. They will devour and destroy anything that gets in their way including the above mentioned weapons. Evil Minions can also self-heal, and are known to be very dangerous.

History[]

El Macho abducts an army of Minions from Gru and then mutates them into hostile destructive monsters by using the PX-41 serum with the help of Dr. Nefario, who later quits. At dawn, the Evil Minions are about to get in the rockets to terrorize the world until they chase Gru and the two Minions, Dave and Stuart, way up to the tower. When the minions are about to devour them, Dr. Nefario, the girls, and the Minions arrive on a ship and shoot at the purple minions with antidote to turn them back into their regular yellow state. Gru and the gang turn all the minions back to normal before confronting El Macho.

At Lucy & Gru's wedding, one purple minion somehow escaped & then appeared unfortunately. Everyone forgotten about him while the minions are all back to normal & celebrating the wedding too early after when the family were taking group pictures altogether, much to everyone's horror & shock.

Trivia[]

  • Ironically, the normal minions are referred to as Gru's evil minions in the first film.
  • The Evil Minions are possibly an inspiration for the Purple Smurfs from the Peyo comics series The Smurfs.
    • Both start out as positive but yet less annoying creatures who are all males. only to be turned into violet aggressive parasites, which was either a Gnap Wasp or the PX-41 serum.
    • Both went into war against the main survivors who did not get infected, which later cured them all with the antidote.
  • The Evil Minions still remain fan favorites due to their hostile nature where they are not annoying but savage.
