| ~ The Lobe's first lines. |
The Lobe is the main antagonist of the 1995 superhero cartoon series Freakazoid!. He is a hegemonic mad scientist with a massively oversized brain and the archenemy and most recurring opponent of the titular hero.
He was voiced by the late David Warner, who also portrayed Ra's al Ghul in Batman: The Animated Series, Alpha in Men In Black: The Series, Spicer Lovejoy in Titanic, The Evil Genius in Time Bandits, Jon Irenicus in Baldur's Gate 2, Ed Dillinger, Sark and the Master Control Program in Tron, and Nergal in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
Personality[]
Despite often bragging about his huge intellect, the Lobe has sometimes shown what appears to be a lack of self-confidence; this is especially evident in the episode "The Cloud" in which Freakazoid manages to defeat him just by pointing out how stupid his plan is, causing the Lobe to go away depressed and apologizing. After he's gone, Freakazoid admits to the audience that the plan was brilliant. Like all Freakazoid characters, the Lobe breaks the fourth wall quite frequently. In "The Island of Dr. Mystico" he expresses a strong desire to become the main character of the show, but wonders if he would be able to withstand the pressure.
Biography[]
Hardly anything is known about the Lobe, except that he is an evil genius and proud of it, has a huge ego and despises Freakazoid for his stupidity. He is easily recognized by his short stature and huge brainy head. He has attempted to destroy Freakazoid many times. Like many villains, he also has two large bodyguards who assist him in some of his evil plans; such as kidnapping famed carpenter Norm Abram to force him to build an enormous wood-made weapon for him. At first, the Lobe planned to build it himself, but his inability with tools made him so angered that he ended up temporarily in an asylum. At the end, Freakazoid and Norm Abram join forces to defeat the Lobe. This episode and series finale of the show, also shows that the Lobe has a friendly relationship with all the other villains of the show, as he cheerfully invited them all to a big party once he believes Freakazoid is about to be destroyed.
He would later reappear as one of the two main antagonists (alongside Brain) the Teen Titans Go! episode "Huggbees" where he was brought back by from the 1990’s movie storage full of cue cards, where the brain calls out the supervillain that can help him in getting rid of the teen titans, using their combined skills, before riding away into a brain-shifted scooter and leaving the titans to release the Lobe’s nemesis, freakazoid from the same movie storage, The two later construct a death beam and happily welcomes Freakazoid to the 21st century. He then reveals a death ray named The “Tran-Mongol fire” that both Brain and Love would test on citizens into being Dog-People, The Love tested on a captured individual which the ray only turned the head into a dog, the situation involving Freakazoid being overwhelmed with the mutation enraged Robin to the point of berating the superhero with an impression, which then The Lobe settled the password to “Huggbees” just because it was fun to say which triggered a self-destruction sequence, which created an explosion, The Lobe was last seen being dragged by the Mutated Dog-Human as he yells in anger for the being to let go of him.
