Henchman is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside King Dice) of the 2022 Netflix cartoon The Cuphead Show!.
As his name suggests, he is the henchman, right-hand man, and advisor of the Devil, and tries to help him in any way he can.
He is voiced by show developer Dave Wasson.
Appearance[]
Henchman is a purple, overweight demon with yellow eyes and red pupils. He has small pointy ears, horns, and a long pointy nose with little wings on his back. He also wears a pair of yellow gloves.
Personality[]
Henchman is shown to be pretty dull and clumsy, embodying the classic dimwitted henchman trope. Although he is the Devil's henchman, he never does anything necessarily evil. He cares for The Devil and wants to do everything to help him, such as trying to cheer him up with some cake and caring for his wounds, notably building a locomotive train to cheer him during Christmas. In episode 5, it is revealed that he is a big fan of King Dice's gameshow, Roll the Dice, and never misses an episode.
Despite having the Devil as his superior, there are times when Henchman openly shows disappointment and shame toward the Devil.

"Release the Demons!"[]
Henchman tries cheering him up again by pouring the tea into the cup (The Devil sees an image of Cuphead going insane and zapping the cup.) The Devil has enough of this and asks Henchman, his first finest demon. Devil explains the first demon why he summons after he starts in rage while Henchman goes hiding in the rock about rage in fire, turning the demons into ashes. The second finest demons explain them like the first one, then about to use fire rage again and go hiding the rock again and save King Dice. Henchman sees the mirror when the Devil asks him how they are doing. He tries to hide it but tells him it is not looking good. The Devil has enough. He uses the heavy big guns of four horsesmen. Henchmen thinks it is not a very good idea. The devil orders him to release them, and he goes.
