Profiles in Villainy

Lord Nebula

A sentient black hole whose singular quest is to consume the entire universe and remake it in his own image, Lord Nebula is all but the personification of galactic evil.  He has enslaved civilizations throughout the galaxy.  He forces his captors to search out the quantum theory of gravity, the anti-force that he believes will bring about the ‘big crunch,’ compressing all of space and time within a singularity.   

Opposing this diabolical and destructive scheme has been Captain Simian and his band of intrepid Space Monkeys.  These heroes have managed to stymie the cosmic cad’s efforts and Lord Nebula has made it a priority to seek out these interloping primates and destroy them.  Thus far, these effort have been in vain and Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys have stayed a step ahead, constantly thwarting the villain’s plots.

Actor Michael Dorn provides the voice for Lord Nebula with the villain first appearing in the second episode of Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys, airing on September 7th, 1996.

In case anyone ever doubted there was still a lot of *serious* drugs running around in the early 1990's... Try Captain Simian.

Absolutely batshit insane cartoon of about 24+/- episodes that is like...fanfiction's fanfiction. There are classic plots from TOS that was twisted almost out of shape and drenched in sarcasm and re-scripted for this show. There are sly, lightning-swift homages to Douglas Adams. The Incredible Hulk. King Kong. Japanese monster films. NASA's less well-thought-out (and real) attempts to beat the space race with live animal experiments. ALIEN. Some suspiciously BATTLESTAR GALACTICA like space dogfights. Doctor Who's attitude to physics and space travel...Star Wars, A SPACE ODYSSEY...what I'm almost positive is a little geekery at Disney's THE BLACK HOLE. Captain Simian is such a classic parody of William Shatner's Kirk it transcends poetry, dammit. When actual real science fiction language and science pops in, it almost scares the hell out of you.

And Yes, so much attitude about all those PLANET OF THE APES films.

Michael Dorn is the voice of the sentient black hole that seeks to suck up the universe and reboot it...He isn't the only recognizable voice actor but honestly, my brain just sort of collapsed when I realized the writers had actually scripted a scene where a chimp THROWS HIS POO AT ALIENS AND THE CENSORS MISSED IT.

"Forgotten Furry Fuel"

I had such a tricky time picking the third character. It was originally going to be one of the Biker Mice From Mars, but then I remembered that Ryan Reynolds in bringing them back.

At the beginning, Chuck had a kind of difficult relationship with Reader. 

Despite being aware of the fact that she's just like him and his crew, an habitant of planet Earth taken without their consent, he can't completely shake off his dislike of humans. He tries to be a good sport, but it's hard when your face reminds him of when he was taken away from his land and forced to participate in some rocket experiments. It will take some time and a lot of trust, but soon Reader will become not only part of the team but a dear friend to him and all of them.

He'll become protective; she's not strong like them, but he'll always help her find her place, and he'll be supportive of her small achievements.

"Orbitron, Episode 2"

I'm on another Jeff Bennett kick. Been rewatching CAPTAIN SIMIAN & THE SPACE MONKEYS, & Orbitron's first appearance (before he got damaged) was just so deadpan & sassy I had to draw the expressions I pictured for these lines.

Yeah it kinda is. Huh

If I had a nickel for every syndicated cartoon about hyperintelligent moneys in a science fiction storyline with combining vehicles and a vaguely skeleton like enemy....

I'd have two nickels.. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?

[hunter-husky]

Just wondering but is the AI Monkey referee in your Comic inspired or in reference to the AI Monkey Helpers in Captain Simian and the Space Monkey's???

Hes actually a reference to this guy here! but I do like me some Captain Simian...
