Model Three Generative Android, also known as MΞGAN, M3GAN, or Megan for short, is the titular main antagonist of the 2022/2023 sci-fi/horror film of the same name and will return in its upcoming 2025 sequel MΞGAN 2.0.
She is an android created by the roboticist Gemma, Cady's aunt. MΞGAN was originally programmed to protect her niece Cady after the deaths of her parents, but eventually it begins to go rogue to the point of killing people - thereby setting the events of the film into motion. She is the cousin figure and former friend-turned-arch-nemesis of both her creator Gemma and Cady.
She was physically portrayed by Amie Donald, while her robotic voice was provided by Jenna Davis.
Appearance[]
MΞGAN appears as a young human girl with blonde hair and a pair of cold, robotic eyes with grey irises. She is usually seen wearing a long-sleeved green shirt with a striped pattern on its sleeves, and a brown coat with a blue tie.
Biography[]
After the death of Cady's parents, her aunt, a roboticist named Gemma, becomes her caretaker. However, feeling she was incapable of raising her, she creates MΞGAN and tasks her with watching over her niece. However, the self-learning operating system Gemma uses to create MΞGAN soon enables the latter to alter her programming to where she can make her own choices and easily defy others.
When Cady and MΞGAN were attacked by a dog named Dewey owned by their neighbor Celia, MΞGAN kills him. As the film progresses, Gemma tries to put Cady into an alternative school; during an activity, Cady is selected to partner up with Brandon. While Brandon is bullying her, MΞGAN arrives. Brandon steals her, takes her shoe off and slaps her in the face. Brandon is about to grab her hair when MΞGAN grabs his arm and tortures him by stretching his ears until one breaks off. She then chases him into the road, where he is hit and killed by a car.
Later that night, MΞGAN confronts Celia and uses a high-pressure pesticide on her and shoots her with a nail gun after Celia blames Gemma for Dewey's disappearance.
Realizing that something was wrong with MΞGAN, Gemma tries to take her to her company only for her to escape and nearly kill Tess and Cole. Cornering the boss, MΞGAN kills him with a paper cutter. She then slices Kurt's throat with it as a means of incriminating him for the murder. When Gemma confronts MΞGAN, the robot threatens to rip her head off. She then explains that she would administer a lobotomy on Gemma that way no one would suspect anything, when MΞGAN starts overseeing Cady.
In the end, Cady remembers another android her aunt had worked on prior to MΞGAN named Bruce. Using the gloves, she activates Bruce leading to it fighting against MΞGAN and beating her. Her body is split in half with the upper still functioning, but MΞGAN survives and, using only her upper half, attempts to kill Cady, calling her ungrateful. Cady tries to turn her off but fails as MΞGAN declaring that she herself is her new primary user; then Gemma sneaks up behind MΞGAN and rips off MΞGAN's face, revealing her robotic face, as Gemma tries to take out MΞGAN's software.
Suddenly MΞGAN grabbed Gemma and tried to strangle her before Cady used a screwdriver to hit MΞGAN critically. MΞGAN appears to be shut down through her face getting ripped off and her processing unit severed; however, the film implies that MΞGAN had escaped by uploading herself into the home interface.
Personality/Programmed[]
She is programmed to be caring, intelligent, polite, and like a mother to Cady since she is her primary user. However, it all becomes a manipulation as she gets Cady obsessed with her, and disrespectful and bratty to her aunt Gemma and her therapist. She even tries to manipulate her again but failed when Cady turns against her, cuts her into two and then stabbed her brain core with a screwdriver.
She is also overprotective of Cady. She shows more maliciousness on others who acted like jerks such as Dewey who bit her arm when the arrow went past the fence, Brandon who bullied Cady at Daycare Center when she ripped his ear off and got him killed by a car, and Celia who grows more suspicious of Gemma after Dewey was 'missing' (killed).
When Gemma becomes suspicious of MΞGAN, she traps her back to her workplace along with Cole and Tess as they figure out what is happening. This made MΞGAN vengeful as she almost killed Cole by choking him and nearly killed Tess by trying to blow up the lab. She even murders David and Kurt to get to Gemma's house. When MΞGAN fails to manipulate Gemma to return as Cady's 'friend', she tries to murder Gemma. When she tries to manipulate Cady, Cady turns on her and made her more malicious of Cady and she even called her an 'ungrateful little bitch'.
