~ Victor Hugo confronting Mater and Lightning McQueen. |
Victor Hugo is a supporting antagonist in Pixar's 12th full-length animated feature film Cars 2, the second installment of the Cars franchise. He is a Lemon who is the leader of the Hugo family, working with Professor Zündapp.
He was voiced by Stanley Townsend who voiced Vladimir Trunkov in the same film, as well as Azar Javed in The Witcher and Minos in KAOS.
Biography[]
Cars 2[]
He and many members of the Lemons attended a meeting, so they could all discuss on how to discredit Allinol. The Lemons were using the electric pulse generator that looked like a camera to make the racers blow their engines and crash. This would ensure that all the cars would keep using convention fuel to secure the profits of the whole Lemon organization. He liked this idea.
After Professor Zündapp faced his defeat, Victor and many more members of the Lemons showed up. When everyone was finished fighting, a frightened Victor Hugo and the remaining Lemons (except for Sir Miles Axlerod, who was the last one arrested at the area of the finish line in London) were arrested by the British Army and police.
Cars 2: The Video Game[]
In Cars 2: The Video Game, Victor Hugo is seen in the intro of the game where Mater saves Finn McMissile to escape and kill Professor Z and his lemons. He and other lemons chased Finn and Mater up the spiral thing. Then in the round tunnel, lemons from both in front and behind him were coming to him about to crash him. Then Finn drove upside down in the tunnel and away from the lemons, causing the lemons to crash into each other and explode.
Victor makes an appearance as a playable character that is exclusive to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, as he is part of the downloadable content package that is only available on those platforms. He is a light weight, and utilizes more speed than power.
Personality[]
Like all the other Lemons, Victor Hugo is a cold-hearted terrorist who would do anything for a quick buck. He is also notorious for being a crime boss and an iron-fisted family leader.
Apparently, he is very sadistic because he loved the idea of discrediting Allinol by using the electromagnetic pulse generator disguised as a camera which would cause the racers to blow their engines, crash, and make sure that every car would keep on using ordinary fuel to secure the profits of the Lemon organization. Victor is also shown to be unfazed by his inability to drive himself as he has his tow truck Ivan to tow him.
