Sir Bradley Starlight is a supporting antagonist in the Disney XD animated series Wander Over Yonder.
He was voiced by James Marsden, who also played the Blue Genie in the 2016 reiteration of The Powerpuff Girls.
History[]
The Hero[]
When Brad's love, Demurra, was "kidnapped" by the Dragon King, Draykor, he inlisted the aid of Wander and Sylvia to assist in his quest (and by assist, he just wants them to act as his goofy sidekick and noble steed). During the quest, however, he was very insistent on doing everything according to "The Prophecy", and was generally mean, egotistical and wants all the glory for himself; not to mention completely incompetent. In the end, it is revealed that Princess Demurra is actually in love with Draykor, not him, and "The Prophecy" was just a bunch of stuff he wrote in his diary when he was fifteen. However, Brad doesn't care that the princess loves someone else and attempts to kidnap her, but she saves herself. He was tied up by Princess Demurra and was arrested by King Draykor & The Hog soldiers.
The Enemies[]
He then reappears in the episode "The Enemies", where he attempts to steal the all-powerful Sword of Synergy before Lord Hater, and ends up working with him to destroy Wander, who he blames for ruining his wedding (which really isn't true). They try to separately destroy him, but fail. Once they combine their sword halves, they nearly succeed, only to break up after an argument, which causes the sword to break into pieces.
The Hot Shot[]
Brad Starlight masquerades himself as a mysterious silent hero, wearing a green hat with a star on, similar to Wander, laying Dom-bots, and getting vast amounts of money and kisses from princesses. When his true identity is later revealed, he explains that this was all a ruse to earn glory and kiss princesses, getting help by his cousin who controlled a fake Dom-Bot. While trying to rescue a castle full of princesses, Starlight unknowingly faces off against an actual Dom-Bot, nearly costing him his life until Wander and Sylvia come to his aid. Brad, however, takes all of the credit and, to his dismay, is smooched by a lamprey-like princess. An animatic reveals that Brad married the lamprey princess and raised a family with her.
Personality[]
| “ | All I wanna do is save my one true love and have everyone know how great a hero I am, just like the prophecy says, AND YOU'RE RUINING IT, YOU'RE RUINING IT, YOU'RE RUINING IT!!! Why can’t you get it?! Sidekick! Steed! Hero! | „ |
| ~ Brad showing his true nature. |
Sir Brad believes himself to be in a fairytale where he is the hero. However, he is shown to be delusional, vain, egotistical, and selfish.
He will not allow any deviation from anyone under his delusion and expects them to act accordingly to their conceived roles in his story. He treats Sylvia as a dumb animal despite her clear intelligence, and treats the princess as some helpless damsel in need of saving, even when she is quite capable and clearly in no danger.
When faced with anything that is against how he believes things should work, he whines like a spoiled child about how it should be. He also shown to be a coward, as he would rather con people out and pretend to be a hero, then actually stop Dominator. And when facing a real Dom-bot, he is easily defeated, and begs for mercy. He is also shown to be ungrateful, as when Wander and Sylvia saved him from a real Dom-bot, he takes all the credit for it.
Trivia[]
- Many of his actions in The Hero foreshadow how much he isn't a hero as he believes himself to be.
- The prophecy he repeatedly mentions is in the form of a small book that gives out specific details of how his story is supposed to go, when traditional prophecies only give out vague instructions. That and the pictures in the book look like they were drawn by crayons. Princess Demurra later on says that the 'prophecy' was just something he wrote in his diary from when he was fifteen.
- He rudely annd bluntly insists that Wander was going to play the role of his sidekick and that he is not to do any of the hero work.
- He forces himself to ride Sylvia despite her protests.
- When he, Wander and Sylvia enter the maze, he insists that they take a life-threatening pathway instead of one that appears peaceful, stating that aforementioned path is a trap. Later, Sylvia is said to have taken the aforementioned path and reveals that it really was as peaceful as it appeared.
- When Wander tries to give Brad tips on how to conquer maze, Brad shuts him up because he insists the hero must do the maze without the sidekick's help, which makes no sense since he dragged Wander to help him to start with.
- When Brad tries to pull out the Sword of Destiny, a sword in a rock that's said to only be pulled out by the most pure-of-heart, he's unable to when just earlier, Wander pulled it out with no problem whatsoever.
- When the trio make it to the end of the maze, Brad attempts to make a dramatic entrance, but gets whiny when he sees that Wander has opened the door since it wasn't locked, but Brad fails to give a hoot and orders Wander to close it.
- When Wander and Sylvia move in to take out Draykor's guards, Brad eventually puts a stop to the fight and petulantly whines about how the two are stealing his thunder.
