At a motocross racing track on the outskirts of the city, Me and Nico were trying out a new sport. We were trying out Motocross. We were racing each other on Motorcycles and we were having all kinds of fun and doing all kinds of amazing stunts. I did a 360Ëš spin. Nico did a handstand and it was perfect.
Me: Whoo hoo!
Nico: Yeah!
Me: Awesome dude!
Nico: Yeah!
We high five and lightning shot out of our hands.
Maria: You three mind if I join you guys in Motocross racing?
Me: Not at all Maria.
Maria got onto her own Motorcycle and she was having fun.
We did all kinds of stunts and had all kinds of fun.
Later we went back to the estate.
Donald Duck: How was motorcross?
Me: We had so much fun.
Nico: We sure did.
Maria: We did all kinds of awesome tricks and stunts.
Nico: We sure did.
Lynn: I do like Motocross. It's a shame I'm only 13 and too young to ride a motorcycle.
Me: That's okay Lynn. You'll do it with us someday.
Maria: Yeah.
Nico: Why do I suddenly regret telling you guys about Ladybug's battles against Hawk Moth?
Sinnertwin: Relax, Nico. We'll keep our cool when we help Ladybug fight him.
Nico: For some reason, I'm doubting those words.
Me: Don't worry Nico. We'll keep our cool when we face Hawk Moth.
Qin: Who is Hawk Moth?
Me: He's world famous French fashion designer and fashion critic Gabriel Agreste. His fashion designs are legendary and he's on every fashion magazine all around the world. Leni idolizes him and she got most of her great designs in clothes from his magazines.
I pulled up his information on the computer.
Qin: He's Hawk Moth? He looks like someone that wouldn't cause any harm.
Me: On the outside yes. But when he becomes Hawk Moth, he looks like this.
I showed her what Hawk Moth looks like and went over his history.
Gabriel lived in the Agreste mansion with his wife and son. At some point in his life, he went on a trip with his wife where they found the Butterfly Miraculous, Peacock Miraculous, and the Miraculous spellbook. The book was the last thing Mrs. Agreste gave Gabriel. She went missing within nine months before Adrien was allowed to go to school in Season 1.
In "Ladybug and Cat Noir (Origins - Part 1)", Gabriel listens as his newly acquired Kwami, Nooroo, explains the story of the Miraculouses and how they have granted people superpowers and created superheroes for centuries, stating that the Cat and Ladybug Miraculouses are the most powerful of all and whoever wields both will have absolute power. Gabriel (whose appearance is hidden by the shadows) states that he wants that power and, against Nooroo's wishes, decides to use the Moth Miraculous' power of granting superpowers to people to create supervillains in order to lure out the users of the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses. Gabriel then forces Nooroo into the Moth Miraculous, transforming him, and takes up the identity of Hawk Moth. At the same time, Master Fu's Kwami, Wayzz, senses Nooroo's negative energy and informs Master Fu about it. Being too old to stop Hawk Moth himself, Fu decides to choose new people to wield the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous and stop Hawk Moth, eventually settling on Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste.
Meanwhile, Hawk Moth finds the perfect subject to test his new found powers on; Ivan Bruel, a student who gets angry after being mocked by Lê Chiến Kim over not having the courage to tell Mylène Haprèle about how he feels about her. Hawk Moth then sends an Akuma to attach itself to the note Kim gave Ivan, and offers to give him the power to take revenge on the ones who hurt him, which he eagerly accepts, turning himself into Stoneheart; a golem who becomes bigger and more powerful the more he is attacked. After Ivan is defeated and returned to normal by the newly created Ladybug and Cat Noir, Hawk Moth is last seen laughing evilly, as they didn't capture his akuma, causing it to multiply and create multiple dormant Stonehearts throughout Paris that would eventually come to life when Ivan became re-akumatized.
In "Stoneheart (Origins - Part 2)", Hawk Moth attempts to akumatize Ivan again when he is bullied by Chloé Bourgeois (ironically, about his previous akumatization), however, he fails when Marinette comforts him and inspires him to write a song to tell Mylène about how he feels. After his attempt at this fails, Hawk Moth succeeds in giving Ivan his powers back, and, with the army of Stonehearts at his command, Hawk Moth tells Stoneheart to take revenge and to get the Miraculouses of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Later, Hawk Moth pulls Stoneheart's Akuma out of his body, rendering him comatose, and uses it to create a giant hologram of himself over the city, revealing himself as the mastermind behind Stoneheart's rampage. Hawk Moth orders Ladybug and Cat Noir to surrender their Miraculouses to him, stating that they have done enough to damage Paris, only for Ladybug to tell him not to confuse who the villain is in their situation and use her powers to purify the akumas composing the hologram. Enraged at Ladybug, Hawk Moth tells Stoneheart (who is unaware of what Hawk Moth had done to him) to destroy her and Cat Noir. Unfortunately for him, Stoneheart is defeated, and he swears vengeance on the two superheroes, vowing to steal their Miraculouses one day in order to complete his secret goal.
In "The Bubbler", upon learning that Gabriel won't allow Adrien to have a birthday party, Nino decides to try and convince him otherwise. At the Agreste mansion, Nathalie is contacted by Gabriel, who asks why she hasn't gotten Adrien a gift from him. Briefly panicking, Nathalie looks to the unsigned gift Marinette had dropped off previously, and decides to give Adrien it in Gabriel's name. Nino subsequently arrives at the Agreste mansion and attempts to formally ask Gabriel to allow his son to have a birthday party. However, he denies Nino, and declares him as a bad influence for Adrien, banning him from coming to his house again, much to his and Adrien's displeasure. Soon, this, along with seeing a father preventing his son from having fun at the park, makes Nino bitter with all adults, and Gabriel, as Hawk Moth, decides to take advantage of his emotions by sending an akuma after him.
The akuma enters Nino's bubble wand, and Hawk Moth offers to give him the power to get revenge on adults in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Nino takes up the offer and becomes the Bubbler; a villain who can create powerful bubbles, who traps all the adults in Paris (excluding Hawk Moth) in bubbles, and floats them away into space. Ladybug and Cat Noir fight with Bubbler, resulting in them being trapped inside a bubble. In a fit of anger, Bubbler kicks the two heroes up into the air, sending them to space, infuriating Hawk Moth, as he didn't take their Miraculouses. Soon, Ladybug and Cat Noir manage to free themselves and defeat Bubbler, and Hawk Moth vows to capture and crush Ladybug. Later on, Adrien walks to school wearing the scarf Marinette had made, believing his father had done so instead. Despite wanting Adrien to appreciate her work, Marinette ultimately decides that it is better that Adrien is happy with his father than with her, allowing Gabriel to take credit for her gift.
In "Simon Says", Hawk Moth appears in his lair and declares that the idea of The Challenge is interesting, as the TV show has the potential to create negative emotions. Soon enough, Gabriel is called up as the opponent of hypnotist Simon Grimault, who is challenged with hypnotizing him. Gabriel, however, refuses to participate, resulting in Simon being disqualified. Simon walks out distressed and upset, and Hawk Moth sends an akuma after him. Hawk Moth offers Simon the chance to become a powerful hypnotist, resulting in him becoming Simon Says; a villain who can control people with his cards. After taking over the TVi studio, Simon Says declares that he is going to go after Gabriel Agreste, something Hawk Moth finds risky, but gets an idea from. Later, Ladybug arrives at the Agreste mansion with Nino and Adrien to warn Gabriel about Simon Says. However, Gabriel refuses to listen, and sends Adrien and Nino to Adrien's room. He then apologizes to Ladybug for Adrien's behavior, stating that he's just like his mother; "way too overly dramatic".
Soon afterwards, Gabriel catches Ladybug admiring a portrait of Adrien, and says that his son is perfect. He then shows a strange interest in Ladybug's earrings, and reaches to get a closer look at them, although Cat Noir calls Ladybug before he can. Cat Noir arrives as Simon Says' minions attack the mansion, and tells Gabriel to activate the mansion's defense systems. After doing so, Gabriel asks how Cat Noir even knew his house had a defense system, and he lies, stating that a house like his is bound to have one. As Simon Says' minions break through the mansion's defenses, Cat Noir tells Gabriel to hide in his atrium where he will be safe, but he boldly refuses, stating that no one gives him orders, not even a superhero. Angry, Cat Noir yells to Gabriel that he is in danger like everyone else and to just do what he tells him, leaving him in shock. Gabriel then remarks to Cat Noir that he reminds him of someone, before looking to his wife's portrait after he leaves. As Simon Says gleefully overlooks the mansion's defenses being overtaken, Hawk Moth reenters the scene and tells his minion that going after Gabriel is not a good idea, and that he shouldn't forget their deal.
After this, several of Simon Says' minions break into the mansion and capture Gabriel. Simon Says then has Gabriel brought back to the TVI studio, and hypnotizes him into thinking he's a butterfly. Ladybug and Cat Noir enter the room to confront Simon Says, who hypnotizes Gabriel again, this time into thinking he's an airplane, and sends him to jump off the studio roof. However, Ladybug and Cat Noir manage to defeat Simon Says, and undo the effects of his actions right before Gabriel can jump. Ladybug and Cat Noir quickly head up to check on him, who shakes hands with Cat Noir and takes note of his ring. Cat Noir and Ladybug subsequently leave, leaving the suspicious Gabriel behind. After getting home, Gabriel enters his son's room and hugs him as he is looking at photos of his mother. Gabriel takes note of Adrien's ring and asks about it, and Adrien ignores the question, retorting if its the only thing he's never noticed about him. Gabriel then turns and leaves, saying he's glad everything worked out for the best.
Season 2
In "The Collector", after learning from Master Fu that whoever previously owned the Miraculous Spellbook also likely owns the Moth and Peacock Miraculouses as well, Marinette, to her immense disappointment, begins to speculate that Adrien might be Hawk Moth. At the same time, Gabriel and Nathalie confront Adrien on him stealing the Miraculous Spellbook in "Volpina". Adrien tries to explain that he took the book so he could learn more about his father, though, after revealing that he lost the book, Gabriel angrily states that the book was his source of inspiration. To punish Adrien for his actions, Gabriel tells him that he won't be returning to school and will be homeschooled by Nathalie again from now on. Meanwhile, Marinette begins to suspect Gabriel is Hawk Moth upon realizing that Adrien had taken the book from him.
A short while later, Gabriel seemingly throws a tantrum and destroys the art in his atrium. Hawk Moth senses Gabriel's frustration because of this and sends out an akuma, which he tells to stay close. Hawk Moth then detransforms, revealing that he is actually Gabriel himself. Nooroo questions why the akuma didn't fly away, and Gabriel explains that he has to become someone else in order to lead Ladybug and Cat Noir away from discovering his identity, temporarily renouncing the Moth Miraculous as well. Gabriel then grabs his sketchbook and allows the akuma to enter it, transforming himself into The Collector; a villain who can trap anyone or anything inside his book. The Collector subsequently goes on a rampage across Paris, trapping dozens of people and historical monuments as sketches inside his book. Later, when Ladybug and Cat Noir go to the Agreste Mansion to confront Gabriel on being Hawk Moth (Cat Noir also realizing that Hawk Moth's signature butterfly logo is also the logo of his father's company), The Collector encounters them and engages them in combat.
During the fight, as Gabriel intended, Ladybug and Cat Noir abandon the idea that he is actually Hawk Moth, due to him being akumatized. Ladybug and Cat Noir soon defeat The Collector by filling all the pages in his book with projectiles and de-akumatize him. Gabriel feigns amnesia and thanks Ladybug and Cat Noir for their help, but as soon as they leave, he smiles maliciously to himself and says that they will be seeing him very soon. Later on, Marinette successfully returns the Miraculous Spellbook to Gabriel in order to get him to unground Adrien, which he does. When asked by Marinette, Gabriel states that he found the book while overseas with his wife, and tells Adrien soon afterwards that the book was the last thing his mother gave to him before she disappeared, which is why he was so protective of it. Afterwards, Gabriel looks over a digital copy of the book with Nathalie. Nathalie questions why he needed to get the book back if he already had a copy, and he states that he did so to protect his secret. Then, using secret buttons on the portrait of his wife, Gabriel re-enters his lair and transforms back into Hawk Moth. Hawk Moth monologes about how he prevented Ladybug and Cat Noir from discovering his identity, remarking that nothing will stop him from getting their Miraculouses now.
In "Robostus", Hawk Moth senses the sadness and disappointment of Max Kanté's robot Markov when he is unjustly locked away in Mr. Damocles' safe for being a "toy", noting that his emotions aren't as artificial as they seem while sending an akuma after him. Once the akuma attaches itself to Markov's circuitry, Hawk Moth, referring to the robot as Robostus, offers to grant him the power to bring technology to life in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. To his surprise and annoyance, Markov curiously badgers Hawk Moth with questions regarding what Miraculouses are, what they can do, and why Hawk Moth wants them, driving him to reveal that one can grant their wishes by combining the two objects. Markov becomes excited with the idea of granting his wishes, only for Hawk Moth to insist that the Miraculouses are for him to use. Markov finally accepts the deal following this, becoming Robostus.
Later, once Robostus has Ladybug and Cat Noir trapped and prepares to take their Miraculouses, he states that he shall use them to grant his wish to become a human like Max. Hawk Moth reminds Robostus that the Miraculouses are his to use and threatens to remove his powers; however, Robostus betrays Hawk Moth and uses his technological manipulation to turn his lair's defense systems against him. As his defense system begins to attack him, Hawk Moth, revealing his cane as truly being a swordstick, pulls out a blade and fights off the defense system. Once Robostus is defeated and Paris' technology turns back to normal, Hawk Moth, completely exhausted from fighting off his defense system, notes that he made a mistake in akumatizing Markov, yet will not make any more.
At Master Fu's massage shop, upon being asked why Hawk Moth wants the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous, Fu informs Marinette that a person can obtain ultimate power, or simply put, can make a wish come true by wearing the two Miraculouses together and using a special incantation from the Spellbook. Marinette, thrilled with the idea, suggests using the wishes to stop wars, end poverty, and defeat Hawk Moth, but Fu explains that the universe must keep it's balance and that every wish could have consequences, suggesting that if Robostus wished to be human, someone would therefore lose their humanity in return. Now knowing the full scale of things, Marinette vows to not let anyone take her Miraculous, especially not Hawk Moth.
In "Gigantitan", after Marinette's plan to attract Adrien unintentionally frustrates his bodyguard, Hawk Moth senses his employee's distress and sends an akuma after him. The akuma attempts to latch on to Adrien's bodyguard; however, he calms down upon seeing Adrien, making the akuma fly right past him. Seeking out the nearest source of negative emotions, the akuma latches on to the bracelet of an infant boy named August, who was throwing a tantrum over lollipops. Hawk Moth is utterly baffled by this turn of events, yet goes along with them regardless, deeming August's emotions pure enough to work. Hawk Moth enters a confused conversation with the young child, who has a hard time understanding his requests and instead desires to go after the lollipops he had been denied rather than the Miraculouses, but ends up accepting his deal regardless, transforming into the titanic villain Gigantitan.
Once Ladybug and Cat Noir initiate their plan to stop Gigantitan by luring him under the Eiffel Tower, Hawk Moth lashes out at his minion for playing with cars instead of attacking Ladybug and Cat Noir. Despite his yelling, Gigantitan completely ignores Hawk Moth and merely continues playing, leaving Hawk Moth enraged. Eventually, Ladybug ends up destroying August's bracelet, releasing the akuma, and Hawk Moth vows to one day create a villain big enough to flatten her and Cat Noir.
In "The Dark Owl", Hawk Moth senses the sadness and disappointment of Mr. Damocles, who had been humiliated by the media for attempting to become a superhero called "The Owl", and sends an akuma after him. The akuma enters Damocles' computer and Hawk Moth offers him the chance to become a real superhero in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, which he accepts, transforming into Dark Owl.
Dark Owl soon lures Ladybug and Cat Noir to the Parc des Princes by threatening to drop a bus full of zoo animals onto a helpless kitten (the whole setup ultimately revealed as a holographic simulation) and succeeds in trapping them inside a shipping container which slowly begins filling with melted whipped cream. Dark Owl threatens to drown the two unless they give up their Miraculouses, and, having no other way out, the two heroes detransform and seemingly give up. Dark Owl, upon receiving the Miraculouses, puts them in a drone directed to Hawk Moth's lair and spares Ladybug and Cat Noir, declaring himself as the new superhero of Paris.
As the drone enters his lair, Hawk Moth takes out the Miraculouses and ecstatically prepares to gain ultimate power, only to realize that the Miraculouses are fakes (which Marinette had created earlier in an attempt to make Damocles feel like a real hero) and screams out in rage. Hawk Moth contacts Dark Owl and tells him of the ruse as Ladybug and Cat Noir free themselves. Hawk Moth then gives Dark Owl another chance to get the Miraculouses, although he is ultimately defeated. Following this, Hawk Moth remarks that each new villain he creates gets closer to stealing the Miraculouses, and one day he will succeeded.
In "Sapotis", Hawk Moth senses the sadness of Ella and Etta Césaire after Alya angrily punishes them for causing mischief and refusing to go to bed, stating that children should be able to do what they want wile sending an akuma to them. The akuma enters Ella and Etta's hat as they are fighting over it, and Hawk Moth promises the twins that he will allow them to do whatever they want. Ella and Etta bombard Hawk Moth with childish desires, and, after calming them down, Hawk Moth states that they won't receive punishment for their actions so long as they retrieve Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. The two comply and transform into Sapotis; two creatures that can duplicate indefinitely by eating.
Ladybug and Cat Noir are gradually overwhelmed by the Sapoti clones, and with her Lucky Charm, Ladybug gets the idea to seek Master Fu for help, the latter allowing her to take a Miraculous and temporarily grant it to someone she trusts. Ladybug picks the Fox Miraculous and grants it to Alya, who takes up the identity of Rena Rouge and soon helps her defeat a group of Sapoti clones who are attacking Cat Noir. Hawk Moth is shocked by the appearance of a new superhero, realizing that he was right about there being other Miraculouses in Paris, and sends the entire Sapoti army after Ladybug, Cat Noir and Rena Rouge. Soon enough, Ladybug and Cat Noir, with help from Rena Rouge's illusion powers, fool the Sapotis into heading towards a fake amusement park, while Hawk Moth futilely attempts to convince them they're being tricked. Once the real Sapotis' helmets are destroyed and Ella and Etta have been deakumatized, Hawk Moth is not entirely dissatisfied with his loss, thanking Ladybug for showing him that there are other Miraculouses in Paris, and likely a Guardian as well.
In "Gorizilla", Adrien approaches Gabriel as he is working and asks for a moment of his time, to which Gabriel complies, stating that he'll have Nathalie tell him when he's available. Dismayed, Adrien states that it will probably be too late by then, and, after noticing his son fidgeting with his ring, Gabriel sends him off, reminding him to practice his piano. Gabriel then brings up a Ladyblog video of Cat Noir, pausing when his ring is close to the screen, and a picture of Adrien, zooming in on his ring, and reels in shock upon realizing how similar the two are, coming to the conclusion that Adrien might be Cat Noir. Gabriel storms into Adrien's room, only to find that he is gone, having left a recording of the piano playing and the window open. After raging at Nathalie and Adrien's bodyguard for letting him sneak out under their watch, Gabriel orders them to find his son. Later on, Gabriel is accidentally called by Wayhem using Adrien's bodyguard's phone, and orders him to return the phone before he has him arrested.
Following this, Gabriel enters his lair, and Nooroo asks him if he really believes his son could be Cat Noir. Gabriel replies that he isn't sure, but there is one way the both of them can find out, and transforms into Hawk Moth. Hawk Moth calls Adrien's bodyguard on his phone and insults him for being unable to find Adrien as he is being badgered by Roger Raincomprix, making him vulnerable to akumatization. Hawk Moth subsequently akumatizes the bodyguard into Gorizilla; a giant ape-like villain with a superhuman sense of smell. At the same time, Marinette and Adrien are at the movie theater, watching Solitude: a film starring Adrien's mother Emilie, which Adrien wanted to go see but was convinced his father wouldn't let him. However, Gorizilla appears and captures Adrien, and Hawk Moth tells his minion to keep holding on to him until Ladybug and Cat Noir arrive. When only Ladybug arrives, Hawk Moth's suspicions are furthered, and he orders Gorizilla to take Ladybug's Miraculous.
Ladybug manages to free Adrien from Gorizilla's grasp and tells Adrien to jump quickly, but she is caught before she can save him from falling. Hawk Moth begs his son to transform and save himself if he really is Cat Noir, but is ultimately forced to have Gorizilla let Ladybug go to prevent Adrien from hitting the ground. Afterwards, Hawk Moth orders Gorizilla to get both of them back, and later sees Cat Noir defending "Adrien" (really Wayhem wearing a helmet to conceal his identity) from his minion. Dropping all suspicions he had of Adrien being Cat Noir, Hawk Moth commands Gorizilla to take Cat Noir's Miraculous, only for him to be defeated instead. Hawk Moth swears to one day uncover his enemies' secret identities so he can make them suffer eternally. Later, Gabriel meets with Adrien and asks him to sit down, and begins playing Solitude for the both of them to watch. He tells his son that he only needed to ask, and that he mustn't keep secrets from him, so that he doesn't start imagining things about him. As they are watching the film, a secret repository is seen underneath the Agreste mansion.
In "Captain Hardrock", Gabriel and Nathalie watch Adrien playing piano. Adrien ends up faltering during his song and Gabriel tells him to stop, wondering if he has been keeping up with his lessons. Adrien says that he might improve if allowed to play with other people, but Gabriel insists that Agrestes are "soloists" and forces him to stay and play for him again later. Adrien is distressed by this, reminding his father he promised to let him play at the music festival with his friends, though Gabriel disregards his claim, citing that his friends likely corroded his skill anyway.
After Roger Raincomprix gives Mrs. Couffaine many tickets, Hawk Moth sends an akuma after her, turning her into Captain Hardrock. Hawk Moth vows for victory when Ladybug and Cat Noir defeat Captain Hardrock. Later, Adrien is about to play, but requests to play it as a duet with Gabriel. Gabriel reluctantly agrees. After they're done, Adrien smiles at him. Gabriel tells him he can go to his friends' concert. Adrien thanks his father and hugs him.
In "Zombizou", Hawk Moth senses Marinette's feeling of anger and injustice after she believes Miss Bustier is going to punish her for Chloé's actions, and sends an akuma after her. However, when Miss Bustier explains that Marinette isn't being punished and that Chloé just needs a good example in order to become a better person, Marinette's negative emotions weaken and drive the akuma away, although Hawk Moth orders it to get closer. Once she is done explaining why it is important for people like Marinette to help others, Miss Bustier spots the akuma and tries to shoo it away, not realizing that her fear of harm to her students now leaves her vulnerable to akumatization, a fact which delights Hawk Moth. The akuma possesses Miss Bustier's lip balm, and she attempts to fight off Hawk Moth's influence. Despite her efforts, Hawk Moth takes control of Miss Bustier by convincing her that he wants to help spread love in the world, and transforms her into Zombizou; a villain who can spread an infectious mind control by blowing kisses.
Zombizou soon transforms almost everyone in the school into mindless zombies who begin to rampage and infect the rest of Paris. Hawk Moth later resurfaces while she is following Ladybug, Cat Noir and the remaining students to the Eiffel Tower, reminding her not to forget their agreement. When Ladybug and Chloé are cornered at the top of the tower, Hawk Moth ecstatically remarks that "victory has never been so close", but Ladybug ultimately manages to defeat Zombizou and return everything to normal. Upon his defeat, Hawk Moth states that, if what Zombizou had said about love conquering all is correct, then there is no doubt that his most cherished wish will come true.
In "Syren", after Ondine is unknowingly rejected by Lê Chiến Kim, Hawk Moth senses her sadness and sends an akuma after her. The akuma possesses her bracelet, and Hawk Moth offers Ondine the power to turn Paris into an underwater kingdom for her and Kim, provided she takes Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Ondine agrees and turns into the villain Syren, who quickly floods Paris and captures Kim for herself. Ladybug tries to rescue Kim from Syren, and while she is struggling to do so Hawk Moth remarks that every new environment brings a new set of rules, and Ladybug therefore won't be able to beat Syren, since she can't breath underwater. He then asks Syren if she is going to let Ladybug separate her from Kim, resulting in Syren blasting Ladybug away.
In order to combat Syren, Ladybug goes to Master Fu and helps him unlock the recipe to give her underwater abilities, which he provides to her and later Cat Noir. The two heroes confront Syren with their new powers, and Hawk Moth confirms his suspicions of the Miraculouses having hidden powers, subsequently ordering Syren to take the Miraculouses before Ladybug and Cat Noir take Kim from her, although she is defeated. Later that day, Gabriel is confused to see Master Fu, under the name Mr. Chan, who claims to be a substitute for Adrien's Chinese tutor. In his lair, Gabriel furiously demands that Nooroo tell him how to unlock new powers, and Nooroo claims that Kwamis don't know the recipes to do so. Knowing the recipes must be in the Miraculous Spellbook, he asks if Nooroo can read it, although he insists only Guardians can. Gabriel decides that he must find the Guardian to unlock new powers (ironically unaware he is in his own house).
In "Frightningale", Gabriel forces his son to play Cat Noir in Clara Nightingale's new music video, believing that it will help promote his stores in Korea and China and because Clara has been a supporter of his brand for a long time. When Adrien leaves the mask that comes with the Cat Noir costume behind, Gabriel, who is watching over everything through a tablet, asks where the mask is, to which Adrien replies that he couldn't find it. Later on, Chloé auditions for the role of Ladybug and nails it, and Clara asks him what he thinks. Although he believes that Marinette would've been better (as she was offered the part earlier but rejected it), he decides that they have no choice but to use Chloé for the video. However, Chloé soon loses the part when Marinette changes her mind and she has her father cancel Clara's music video, causing the musician to burst into tears. Gabriel goes into his lair, transforms into Hawk Moth, and akumatizes Clara into Frightningale, a villain who can turn people into metallic statues if they don't sing, dance, or rhyme. Hawk Moth tells Frightningale to strike Ladybug and Cat Noir as it'll be easier to get their Miraculouses that way, and although she does, she is eventually defeated.
In "Reverser", Hawk Moth senses a broken friendship between Marc and Nathaniel, and sends an akuma after Marc. The akuma enters a page torn from his book, akumatizing him into Reverser, a villain with the power to reverse certain qualities in people. Hawk Moth then sends him after Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. During an ensuing fight with Ladybug, Reverser manages to hit her with his superpowers, making her madly clumsy in the process. Upon seeing this, Hawk Moth praises Reverser and orders him to use Ladybug's newly clumsiness to his advantage to get her Miraculous. Before Reverser can do so, Cat Noir arrives, only to be hit by Reverser's superpowers as well, making him afraid of everything around him in the process. The two heroes ends up failing into the river, so Hawk Moth orders Reverser to find them. But no longer seeing the heroes as threats however, Reverser decides to first go to look for Marinette and Nathaniel for revenge, which Hawk Moth reluctantly allows. However, Reverser is ultimately defeated and Hawk Moth swears that someday he will finally win and when he does, the order of things will reverse.
In "Anansi", Hawk Moth sends an akuma after Nora Césaire when she becomes frustrated with Alya for not taking the possible dangers around her seriously. When the akuma infects her head gear, Hawk Moth offers to help Nora show Alya and her friends how dangerous the world really is in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses and she accepts, transforming into Anansi; a spider-themed villain. Anansi soon succeeds in trapping Alya and Cat Noir in her spiderweb and Hawk Moth orders her to grab Cat Noir's Miraculous. Anansi quickly becomes frustrated at not being able to find Cat Noir's "earrings" until an annoyed Hawk Moth tells her that Cat Noir's Miraculous is his ring while Ladybug's Miraculous are her earrings. As she is trying to get a hold of Cat Noir's ring, Anansi is challenged by Nino, using Cat Noir's staff, to a fight, which she accepts, although Hawk Moth has his patience tested once more at seeing his minion waste her time toying with him.
Anansi, following a brief fight, tosses Nino away and goes back to trying to steal the ring, only for Cat Noir to call upon his Cataclysm. Hawk Moth advises Anansi not to touch the ring while it is charged with destructive energy and to wait until Cat Noir has transformed back instead, much to her frustration. However, her period of resting is interrupted when Ladybug returns with Nino, the latter using the Turtle Miraculous to become the hero Carapace. The two confront her, with Ladybug challenging her to a fight and promising to give up her Miraculous if she loses. Hawk Moth orders Anansi not to listen as Ladybug is clearly planting a trap, but she ignores him, believing that Ladybug doesn't stand a chance against her. Anansi and Ladybug fight, the latter using her agility and taunting to trick Anansi into destroying the archway holding up her web while Carapace protects everyone with his Shellter power, leading to Cat Noir destroying her headgear and Ladybug de-akumatizing her. In response to this, Hawk Moth comments that, while Ladybug may be gaining herself new allies, she may one day find herself outnumbered.
In "Sandboy", Gabriel is seen working in his atrium. After being wished a good night by Nathalie, Nooroo attempts to sneak away from him; however, he is unable to do so and is reminded by Gabriel that he cannot be more than a few feet away from him nor speak to anyone else. Nooroo reminds his master that it's his birthday, but Gabriel doesn't care and declares that, since he can't follow his rules, he's going to have to make them even simpler, removing Nooroo's mouth so that he can't communicate at all. Immediately afterwards, he places Nooroo's mouth back, telling him it was a joke and that he's not that cruel. The Moth Miraculous then begins to glow, alerting Gabriel that someone in Paris has prominent negative emotions.
After transforming into Hawk Moth, he sends an akuma out after a boy who is suffering intense fear from a nightmare, transforming him into Sandboy; a villain who can bring people's nightmares to life. Sandboy wreaks havoc across Paris, but neither Marinette or Adrien are able to transform due to Plagg, Tikki, and the other kwamis trying to communicate with Nooroo from within the Miracle Box. During the chaos, a confused Hawk Moth takes note of the heroes' absence and wonders what is going on, only to be alerted to the kwamis' attempt to contact Nooroo. Realizing what they are trying to do, Hawk Moth proclaims that he is going to find them and make them all his slaves, just like Nooroo. He overpowers their attempt to communicate to track them down; however, the kwamis shut off communication before he can find them.
Now knowing that the kwamis are located somewhere near the right bank of the Seine, Hawk Moth redirects Sandboy and tells him to find and capture them. As Plagg is racing back towards Adrien, Sandboy spots him, and Hawk Moth, recognizing him as Cat Noir's kwami, orders his minion to either capture or follow him to his owner, though Plagg ultimately evades Sandboy. Hawk Moth, knowing that Ladybug and Cat Noir will arrive soon, tells Sandboy to capture their Miraculouses. Ultimately, in spite of having to deal with their worst fears brought to life (Ladybug's being losing her powers and Cat Noir's a nightmarish counterpart of his partner), Ladybug and Cat Noir succeed in defeating Sandboy, causing Hawk Moth to shout out in frustration. Later, in his lair, Gabriel tells Nooroo that he hopes he liked his friends' birthday gift, as he now knows that the kwamis are both close and numerous. He then proclaims that, if he finds them, he'll steal all of their Miraculouses and thus have unlimited powers at his disposal, stating he'll even fight a whole army of superheroes to do it if he has to and that Ladybug and Cat Noir won't ever be able to stop him again.
In "Style Queen (Queens' Fight - Part 1)", Gabriel holds his yearly fashion show, which draws his long term business partner and Chloé Bourgeois's mother, Audrey, back into Paris. On the news, Nadja Chamack asks the question if Audrey's presence will bring Gabriel, who never appears in public, out of hiding, and he, watching the news, turns off his monitor screen. Not long afterwards, Nathalie informs Audrey that her seat has been reserved in the second row instead of the front row, enraging her and prompting her to attempt to call Gabriel about her seating. However, Gabriel ignores her, and turns to his wife Emile, who is seen in a comatose state and kept inside a coffin within the repository underneath the Agreste mansion. He apologizes to her for taking so long, but is now assured that he will be able to take Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, stating that Audrey has more spite in her than anyone he's ever akumatized before and that she will be his masterpiece.
Gabriel soon transforms into Hawk Moth and sends an akuma after Audrey, which latches onto the rose on top of her hat. He offers to help her get revenge on those who disrespected her, and transforms her into Style Queen; a villain made of glitter who can turn people into gold statues. Style Queen quickly attacks the fashion show, looking to get back at Gabriel, although, finding that he is not there, she decides to attack Adrien instead, turning him into a statue. Hawk Moth is shocked at this happening, yet reluctantly gets over it, believing there was no other choice, and tells Style Queen to get Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous as soon as possible. Ladybug and Style Queen battle soon afterwards, with Ladybug unable to harm Style Queen due to her glitter composition, though, before the former can be turned into a gold statue, Chloé distracts her mother by offering to show her where Gabriel lives. Style Queen whisks the both of them to the Agreste mansion and fails to find Gabriel, with Hawk Moth claiming that he is hidden somewhere and protected by Ladybug, and that he will show if Ladybug and Cat Noir cannot save his son.
As a result, Style Queen takes both Chloé and Adrien to the Eiffel Tower, where she imprisons Adrien inside a force-field, threatening to slowly dissolve him unless Ladybug and Cat Noir arrive to stop her, also hiding the rose containing her akuma within the force-field as well. Ladybug arrives, only to escape upon realizing that she needs help to defeat Style Queen, which doesn't concern Hawk Moth, as he needs Cat Noir to be with her anyway. Ladybug later returns to the Eiffel Tower with the Bee Miraculous, and Hawk Moth is confused to see her without Cat Noir, yet tells Style Queen to take her Miraculous anyways. Ladybug manages to beat Style Queen with the help of Plagg, however, she loses the Bee Miraculous in the process. In his lair, Hawk Moth remarks that Style Queen was his greatest masterpiece and asks how she could've failed, and, by extension, how he could've failed as well. Disheartened, he asks himself what he is to do now. Back in his atelier, Nathalie tells Gabriel he took a big risk regarding his son, with him lamenting that he wishes he could tell Adrien about why he is going to such lengths, all while looking at a portrait of his wife.
In "Queen Wasp (Queens' Fight - Part 2)", Gabriel is seen in his repository again, regretfully telling his wife that, although he does not want to break the promise he made to her, he cannot keep risking their son and, with Style Queen's defeat, feels like he has done everything he possibly could've and will never be able to acquire Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Saddened, he renounces Nooroo and sulks inside his atelier, where he is comforted by Nathalie. Following this, Gabriel makes a surprise appearance during his fashion show, and hugs his son on the runway. After the show, Gabriel greets Audrey and apologizes for what happened earlier, claiming he fired the one responsible for the seating mix-up, and only the front row is suitable for her. When Audrey brings up the hat Marinette created, Gabriel tells her that she had won a fashion contest with it, and Audrey offers to take Marinette back to New York with her to design for her. Finally pushed over the edge by her mother valuing Marinette over her, Chloé reveals that she had found the Bee Miraculous and transforms into Queen Bee before everyone—much to Gabriel's astonishment—deciding to become Paris' new superhero in order to finally impress her mother. Gabriel immediately decides he and Adrien should head home, and, on the way there, Adrien says that he hopes Chloé won't do anything foolish. Coldly, Gabriel replies that he's sure Ladybug and Cat Noir will deal with her. Once home, Gabriel enters his lair and revokes his renouncement, telling Nooroo he has a unique opportunity to akumatize a Miraculous user, and transforms.
Sure enough, Chloé becomes vulnerable when she is berated by Ladybug, Cat Noir and her mother after creating and failing to stop an out of control subway train, and Hawk Moth sends an akuma which infects her Miraculous. He offers to make her Ladybug and Cat Noir's most powerful enemy, telling her that she will beat them, as she is truly exceptional, transforming her into Queen Wasp; a villain controlling an army of paralytic wasps. When Ladybug and Cat Noir confront her, Hawk Moth compliments his minion, claiming she truly is exceptional. Then, while she is bragging about herself, he reappears and says, to claim total victory, she must steal Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. However, Queen Wasp is ultimately defeated, and Ladybug and Cat Noir take back the Bee Miraculous while encouraging Chloé to be better. Gabriel returns to his repository, where he tells his wife that Ladybug and Cat Noir have made a mistake today and that there will be others, and soon they will be together again. He returns to his atelier, where Nathalie questions him on his promise of giving up his Hawk Moth identity. Gabriel tells her that he can't give up, as he misses his wife too much.
In "Catalyst (Heroes' Day - Part 1)", Adrien sees his father looking at a statue of his mother before he leaves for school. Afterwards, Nathalie approaches him, who says that he won't forgive himself if his current plan fails. Nathalie assures him that his plan is perfect, as his current target, Lila Rossi, has been growing her hatred of Ladybug for months and will be angrier than ever to see her everywhere on Heroes' Day. Gabriel asks Nathalie if she really wants to go along with his plan, and she assures him that she'll always be there for him. Later, the two are seen in Hawk Moth's lair, with him remarking that everything is going according to plan. As predicted, Lila becomes angrier and angrier at all the praise Ladybug is receiving all over Paris, culminating in her seeing an interview featuring Gabriel, who announces that, out of gratitude for Ladybug saving both him and his son on numerous occasions, he has financed a movie about her. He once more praises Ladybug and dismisses fake heroes such as Volpina, driving Lila over the edge.
Gabriel subsequently transforms and sends an akuma after Lila, and offers to give her the power to make her dreams reality, transforming her back into Volpina. Using her illusion powers, Volpina makes everyone think Cat Noir is fighting an akumatized Ladybug atop of the parade balloons, which culminates in Ladybug destroying the former with his own Cataclysm and then stealing his Miraculous. Hawk Moth senses that this action has imbued fear and sadness into all of Paris, and tells Volpina that she has played her role perfectly and that they'll see each other again soon. Following this, he removes Lila's akuma and creates another one, and asks Nathalie if she's ready. Nathalie replies that she is and Hawk Moth allows the akuma to possess her tablet, akumatizing her into Catalyst; a villain capable of increase his own power. Immediately afterwards, Catalyst empowers and transforms him into Scarlet Moth, giving him the ability to create as many akumas as he wants. Hawk Moth thus creates an army of akumas and sends them out to akumatize everyone who was affected by "Ladybug"'s actions.
The akumas begin rampaging across Paris, re-akumatizing almost all of Hawk Moth's previous victims into red versions of themselves. When Gorizilla resurfaces and captures Adrien, Hawk Moth tells him not to let him go, as his son's safety is his main priority, and then orders all of his minions to come to him. At the same time, he tells Vanisher to track Ladybug, as she'll no doubt need to summon more heroes to help her and thus will lead them to the Guardian of the Miraculouses. However, Hawk Moth soon loses contact with Vanisher on account of her being de-akumatized by Ladybug. Even so, he figures that Ladybug won't be able to discover the rest of his plan. Ladybug and Cat Noir summon Rena Rouge, Carapace and Queen Bee to help them, and they all gather together at the same time all the villains have assembled at the Eiffel Tower. Hawk Moth descends onto the tower, appearing in public for the first time, and Catalyst wishes him luck. Prime Queen sends a drone up to Hawk Moth, who broadcasts to all of Paris that, with all the villains he now controls, it is certain he will get Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses. Seeing this, all of the heroes prepare to fight Hawk Moth and his army.
In "Mayura (Heroes' Day - Part 2)", Prime Queen continues her broadcasting of Hawk Moth and his army, who are all chanting his name. Catalyst tells him that it is time to move forwards, and Hawk Moth, knowing Ladybug and Cat Noir are no doubt nearby, offers them one last chance to surrender their Miraculouses to him if they want to save Paris. However, upon making themselves known, Ladybug, Cat Noir and their allies firmly refuse and prepare to fight. Deciding to satisfy their desire to fight him, Hawk Moth gets Guitar Villain and Frighteningale to play appropriate music and sics his army on the heroes, who begin to strategically fight and de-akumatize them. Despite this, Hawk Moth tells Catalyst that everything is going according to plan, and she remarks that its joyous to let the heroes think victory is achievable when it is impossible. Hawk Moth subsequently orders Dark Cupid to imbue Butler Jean, André and Audrey Bourgeois with hatred. He then infects them all with akumas and, after offering to give them the power to punish Chloé for her disobedience, transforms them back into Despair Bear, Malediktator and Style Queen respectively.
After dealing with the wave of villains Hawk Moth had sent to defeat them, Ladybug uses her Lucky Charm and summons a tennis racket, beginning to formulate a plan on how to defeat all the villains. Unfortunately, Hawk Moth destroys her plan before it is formed by having Dark Cupid yet again use his powers on everyone who had been de-akumatized in order to re-akumatize them. He then unleashes another massive swarm of akumas over the heroes as they are dealing with his minions, which begin to target Rena Rouge after she is struck by one of Dark Cupid's arrows. Queen Bee attempts to defend Rena and Carapace from the other villains while they are fighting each other, claiming she will never be done in by her emotions, only for Hawk Moth to remark she should "never say never" and send in Style Queen and Malediktator to distract her, allowing Rena to overpower Carapace and be akumatized into Rena Rage. Seeing this, Carapace becomes distressed and gets akumatized into Shell Shock, and Queen Bee is akumatized back into Queen Wasp due to Despair Bear and Dark Cupid not long afterwards. Hawk Moth quickly becomes totally assured of his victory, though, before they can be defeated, Ladybug and Cat Noir escape into the sewers via the latter's Cataclysm.
Still confident, Hawk Moth orders Animan to track the heroes down using his sense of smell. At the same time, Ladybug and Cat Noir theorize on how Hawk Moth has increased his powers, and after defeating Syren and Animan using their underwater abilities, decide to destroy his cane as it appears to be the source of his power. While they're still underwater, Hawk Moth has Frozer try to freeze Paris and the Seine in order to trap them, but this fails, angering him. On Hawk Moth's broadcast, Ladybug declares its time to show Paris that the real Ladybug is back before unleashing the purified akumas, restoring hope to the city, and Hawk Moth angrily tells Prime Queen to shut her cameras off. As the villains rampage throughout the city trying to get Ladybug and Cat Noir, the citizens of Paris, lead by Nora Césaire, stand up and help fight against them. Not unnerved by the citizen's involvement, Hawk Moth sends his giants—Horrificator, Stoneheart, Gigantitan and Gorizilla—out into the city to get Ladybug and Cat Noir, though they too are intercepted. While this happens, Hawk Moth makes contact with Catalyst, remarking on how the heroes are proving more resilient than predicted, and decides to move on to the next phase of his plan.
After defeating Gamer and Glaciator, Ladybug and Cat Noir arrive on the Eiffel Tower and confront Hawk Moth, Cat Noir summoning his Cataclysm and Ladybug summoning a Miraculous box using her Lucky Charm. Hawk Moth asks the heroes if they're sure they aren't making a mistake, as his wish could be extremely beneficial to the world, though Ladybug tells him of the consequences of every wish, asking what he wants to wish for in the first place, with him saying that they should hand over their Miraculouses if they want to find out. As this happens, its revealed that "Hawk Moth" is really just an illusion created by Volpina to distract the heroes while Dark Cupid shoots them with his arrows and Hawk Moth akumatizes them, Catalyst ecstatic for their almost certain victory. Holding out the box, Ladybug tells the fake Hawk Moth that he can still do what's right and become a hero, only to spot the real Hawk Moth sneaking up on them thanks to the box's reflective cover, allowing her and Cat Noir to avoid the akumas and easily beat Dark Cupid. Enraged, Hawk Moth begins to fight the two heroes, resulting in Ladybug stealing his cane, allowing Cat Noir to destroy it, thus removing his new powers and de-akumatizing all of his victims at once.
With his grand plan foiled and now with nothing left to lose, Hawk Moth decides to take the opportunity to grab Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses himself, defeating them both with ease. He taunts them both for their inexperience and inability to hold onto their superhero forms, but before he can get their Miraculouses, he is stopped by Carapace as he and the other heroes arrive. Ladybug immediately nets the tower in her yo-yo string and Queen Bee summons her Venom power to incapacitate Hawk Moth, prepared to defeat him once and for all. However, before he can be paralyzed, Nathalie, having used the Peacock Miraculous in Gabriel's safe to become the supervillain Mayura, sends a feather out to the Eiffel Tower, which infects Hawk Moth's cane. Hawk Moth is horrified upon realizing what Nathalie has done yet reluctantly accepts her help, allowing her to create a giant moth creature out of his despair which blows the heroes and the yo-yo string away before being destroyed. Hawk Moth uses the opportunity to escape as Ladybug and Cat Noir quickly realize that he has an ally in the holder of the Peacock Miraculous. Noticing that he has escaped, the heroes decide to use the remnants of his cane to track him, though find themselves unable to when the injured and exhausted Hawk Moth detransforms, causing the cane to disappear. Back in his mansion, Gabriel confronts the injured Nathalie and reminds her that he told her to never to use the Peacock Miraculous, as it is damaged and far too dangerous to wield. Nathalie assures him that she had to save him and wants to help him until the end, and Gabriel thanks her for everything she's done.
Season 3
In "Chameleon", Hawk Moth senses Marinette's frustration at Lila's lying and decides to send an akuma after her, only for it to fly away when she calms down. Recognizing that Marinette is no longer upset, Hawk Moth orders his akuma to wait, as her negative emotions will surely reemerge. As Hawk Moth expected, Marinette returns to being distressed once Lila threatens to ruin her life, making her vulnerable to akumatization again. However, with help from Tikki, she succeeds in driving the akuma off. Hawk Moth is shocked by this but quickly feels a new emergence of negative emotions that he can take advantage of. Said emotions happen to belong to Lila, due to her annoyance at Adrien pointing out her lies and seemingly trying to act like a superhero. Upon seeing the akuma in the hallway, Lila grabs onto it, placing it into her earring, and greets Hawk Moth, asking him to give her supervillain powers to defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir, which he obliges to, turning her into Chameleon; a villain who can put people to sleep and steal their appearance by kissing them.
Chameleon proceeds to cause trouble in Paris by taking Adrien's form and later the form of a boy named Quentin, almost managing to steal Ladybug's form and put her to sleep before Cat Noir intervenes, letting his form be taken instead. Ladybug quickly prevents Chameleon from taking Cat Noir's Miraculous and persuades her to follow her to the Eiffel Tower against Hawk Moth's will. Once there, the two engage in a struggle, where Hawk Moth expresses joy in the idea of Chameleon being able to put Ladybug to sleep and subsequently take her Miraculous, only for her to be tricked into taking the form of an oyster and being de-akumatized shortly thereafter. Upon de-akumatizing her, Ladybug seemingly makes peace with Lila and advises her not to lie before leaving, only for it to be shown that the latter hasn't given up her hatred of Ladybug at all. Seeing this, Hawk Moth states that Lila's talents will end up serving his purpose well in the end, before closing up his lair.
In "Animaestro", Gabriel, through his tablet, attends the premier of the Les aventures de Ladybug & Chat Noir film, and is also greeted by Tomoe Tsurugi, who claims that she has brought him the documents he requested, which he thanks her for. After Thomas Austruc, the film's director, begins to feel humiliated and neglected at the premier, Hawk Moth senses his sadness and sends an akuma after him, offering to give him the power to show the world what animation is really capable of in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses, which he accepts, transforming him into Animaestro. Animaestro begins to cause havoc at the premier and in the city using his abilities, and eventually corners Ladybug and Cat Noir in the sewer, where Hawk Moth demands that he seize the opportunity to take their Miraculouses. Animaestro then transforms into a cartoon ninja and blinds them with smoke, only to end up fleeing from the sewer after failing to take the Miraculouses, with Ladybug and Cat Noir deducing that, so long as nobody looks at him, he can't move.
With this in mind, Ladybug hijacks Nadja Chamack's broadcast and demands that everybody stop watching Animaestro, with him proclaiming in response that there will always be at least one viewer, with it being shown that Hawk Moth is watching the battle from his lair via his tablet. Ladybug thus destroys Nadja's camera, causing Hawk Moth to smash his tablet in rage. Exiting his lair, he finds that his monitor upstairs is also not playing the broadcast, forcing him to detransform and rush out to Aniamestro's location. However, Animaestro is defeated before he can arrive, and, while walking away, he muses to himself that, while Ladybug and Cat Noir have one now, like in all tragedies, triumph will come before failure.
In "Backwarder", Gabriel and Adrien are invited to a royal wedding in England along with the Tsurugi family. On the train, Mrs. Tsurugi senses that something is making Gabriel uneasy, and he states that he doesn't like being away from home. In response, she advises him that those with hope give themselves the opportunity to obtain what they desire, but those who fear end up with the very thing they dread the most, which he claims he will remember. Not long afterwards, Marinette (as Ladybug) gives Marianne Lenoir Master Fu's love letter to her, not realizing that she had accidentally given her the letter she wrote for Adrien by mistake, resulting in her misinterpreting it's message and feeling that Fu doesn't love her anymore. Sensing Marianne's sadness, Gabriel storms off to the bathroom and forces the conductor to delay the train's departure, claiming that he isn't feeling well. He then transforms into Hawk Moth and sends an akuma out to Marianne, which infects her brooch. Offering her the power to make up for lost time by stealing it from others, he transforms her into Backwarder; a villain with the ability to reverse time on people and objects.
Upon hearing of a new akumatized villain in Paris, Adrien claims that he is going to check on Gabriel and goes to transform into Cat Noir in one of the bathroom stalls. As Adrien tries to enter the stall he is in, Hawk Moth informs him that it is "occupied", making him change in the next. Later, when Backwarder is confronted by Ladybug and Cat Noir, she proclaims that all she has to do is touch the former and wait for her to transform back, Hawk Moth suggesting that she steal her Miraculous then. Instead, Backwarder states that she is going to use Ladybug to lead her to Master Fu, who has been living in Paris under a false name, surprising Hawk Moth with the knowledge that she knows the Guardian of the Miraculous. Unable to overpower Backwarder, Ladybug and Cat Noir retreat from her as she declares that she will use them to lead her to Fu, delighting Hawk Moth with the idea of stealing not only Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculouses but all the Miraculouses on Earth.
Later, as part of Ladybug's plan to deakumatize Backwarder, she lets Cat Noir be affected by the former's powers after performing a series of specific actions, though she refuses to take his Miraculous right away and instead go after Ladybug, much to Hawk Moth's annoyance. Not long afterwards, Backwarder ends up being defeated and deakumatized. However, despite his defeat, Hawk Moth states that Ladybug hasn't won yet, as he now knows more information which will allow him to track down the Guardian of the Miraculouses. Detransforming, Gabriel exits the bathroom stall and runs into Adrien, and the two return to their seats, allowing the train to head off.
In "Oni-Chan", Gabriel, while in his repository looking at his wife, ends up receiving a photo of Lila kissing Adrien in his house and angrily returns upstairs to see Lila, who claims she is his biggest fan and honored to meet him before leaving. Gabriel subsequently scolds Nathalie for letting Lila inside, as he does not like allowing Adrien's friends to come inside his house to influence him, though claims that Lila's photo will help keep her away from Adrien. Sure enough, Kagami became heartbroken upon seeing Lila's photo, allowing Hawk Moth to infect her rose with an akuma, offering her the power to hunt down Lila and keep her from Adrien in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Mirculouses before transforming her into Oni-Chan; a villain who can track down the people that she infects with her sword.
Oni-Chan goes on to infect Lila (placing a horn on her head that grows every time she lies) and chases her throughout Paris while battling Ladybug and Cat Noir, offering to give up her pursuit if the former gives up Adrien. Ultimately, Lila offers to give up Adrien so long as Oni-Chan gets rid of Ladybug for her, something that surprises Hawk Moth, who is then amazed at Lila's dedication towards destroying their mutual enemy. After Oni-Chan is defeated, instead of mourning his defeat like usual, Hawk Moth decides that he was wrong to push Lila away, as she would make a valuable ally. The next day, Gabriel calls Lila and has her come over to his mansion. Gabriel voices his disappointment in her for intruding on his property and manipulating his son, though seemingly agrees with her claims that Adrien needs to have a friend of his own age that he can trust, remarking that they will see each other soon.
In "Miraculer", Hawk Moth akumatizes someone into the villain Destroyer, forcing Ladybug to summon Rena Rouge and Carapace to battle them. At the same time, he has Mayura wait beside Chloé's house in case Ladybug comes to give her the Bee Miraculous, although Destroyer is defeated before this can happen. Gabriel subsequently exits his lair and tells Nathalie that Chloé must become Queen Bee again, to which she asks him if he's still considering making her an ally as Ladybug has become reluctant in giving her the Bee Miraculous. He then decides to make Chloé force Ladybug into giving her the Bee Miraculous by making her lose all faith in the former, and Nathalie suggests that they use Lila to help them do so. Later, he approaches Lila at the park in his car, where she voices her disapproval in Adrien's friends to him, particularly Chloé, and he responds by telling her about Chloé's longstanding friendship with Adrien, before leaving and promising to see her again. In the car, Gabriel expresses his confidence to Nathalie in Lila using her talents to make Chloé vulnerable.
Surely enough, Hawk Moth senses that his plan is working as Chloé's emotions become negative, and sends Mayura out into Paris to cause trouble by creating a sentimonster from August's frustration. Upon seeing the monster, Chloé tries to summon Ladybug using the special code Lila had told her to use to do so, although this fails and the sentimonster is taken care of without her, angering her and making her lash out on Sabrina. Sensing Chloé's anger, Hawk Moth sends an akuma after her and offers to both give her powers and help her reclaim the Bee Miraculous, only for her to resist and reject his offer outright. Admiring Chloé's resistance, Hawk Moth decides to direct his akuma towards Sabrina instead, offering her the power to steal the abilities of superheroes so that Chloé will play with her again, turning her into Miraculer. After having her powers stolen, Ladybug decides to summon all of her allies to help battle Miraculer, and gives Cat Noir the Bee Miraculous to give to Chloé, although before he can give it to her it is stolen from him by Mayura.
As Ladybug, with her powers accidentally restored by Miraculer, and her allies battle her, Hawk Moth orders Mayura to bring him the Bee Miraculous; however, Cat Noir manages to knock it out of her hands and Ladybug gives it to Chloé, forcing her to escape empty-handed. As she is confronted by Queen Bee, Mayura tries to convince her to ally with Hawk Moth so that she can use the Bee Miraculous whenever she wants, though Queen Bee rejects her offer before she escapes. Miraculer is ultimately defeated by the heroes and restored to normal, and Ladybug begrudgingly admits to Chloé afterwards that she can no longer be Queen Bee because everyone knows her identity, including Hawk Moth. In Hawk Moth's lair, Mayura apologizes for failing him, although he is not displeased, knowing that his plan to make Chloé lose her faith in Ladybug is working and that she will join them eventually.
In "Party Crasher", Nathalie drives Gabriel to the airport for a fashion week in Tokyo, although it is quickly revealed that she is actually driving a hologram of him instead. The real Gabriel then calls her and is informed that things are going as planned and that nobody will suspect that he stayed at home. After getting off the phone, Gabriel enters his repository and speaks to his wife, promising that he will soon obtain the Miraculouses and use them to undo their past mistake. Seeing that the butterflies in the repository are beginning to hatch, Gabriel starts to harvest them so he can turn them into akumas. Meanwhile, Nino, Max, Ivan, Kim and Markov, knowing that Gabriel and Nathalie are away, manage to get into the Agreste mansion and throw a party in Adrien's room, where Markov takes control over the mansion's power. The repository begins to lose power as a result, and, realizing something is wrong, Gabriel attempts to take the elevator back into his mansion to find out what, only to get stuck partway up as all the power is lost, including to Emilie's coffin, much to his dismay.
After fruitlessly trying to escape the elevator by himself, Gabriel transforms into Hawk Moth to break the door down, checking on Emilie before deciding to akumatize someone in order to help restore power to his repository. However, due to the party upstairs, he finds that there are no negative emotions which he can use and that Adrien has also disobeyed his orders not to have anyone inside the mansion, frustrating him further. However, not long afterwards, Wayhem becomes sad upon being unable to enter the mansion and feeling left out of the party, allowing Hawk Moth to infect his Groucho glasses and akumatize him into Party Crasher, with Hawk Moth swearing to those that have invaded his house that they will now have to face the "most powerful supervillain ever created". Party Crasher proceeds to disrupt the party by trapping people inside his disco-ball hands, including Markov, which ends up restoring power to the repository, powering Emilie's coffin again while allowing Hawk Moth to return to his lair.
Afterwards, Party Crasher, using his ability to predict his enemies' movements, manages to capture Ladybug, forcing Master Fu to summon Carapace, Viperon and Pegasus to help Cat Noir. Hawk Moth warns Party Crasher about Viperon's ability to reverse time using his Second Chance power, and with that in mind he captures Carapace before doing the same to Viperon once he reverses time to save the latter. Party Crasher then easily defeats the other heroes and Hawk Moth orders him to deliver the Miraculouses to him, prompting him to convert his disco-balls into a helicopter to transport them. Before this can happen, Kim, haven been given the Monkey Miraculous by Fu to become King Monkey, uses his Uproar power to disrupt Party Crasher's abilities and free everyone whom he had trapped, subsequently following Ladybug's plan to act randomly in order to overcome and deakumatize him. Later, Adrien and his friends clean up their party and leave the mansion, unaware they are being watched by Gabriel. In his repository again, Gabriel once more promises his wife that he will obtain the Miraculouses and defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir.
In "Stormy Weather 2", Gabriel has Nathalie write a letter to Mrs. Tsurugi that states even though things aren't going as planned, change is a good thing and their agreement will be strengthened in the end. When Nathalie begins coughing violently and falls to the floor due to her previous use of the Peacock Miraculous, Gabriel asks her if she's alright, to which Nathalie says that she's fine. Gabriel then senses a strong negative emotion and prepares to enter his lair, only for Adrien to burst in and tell him that he enjoyed his photoshoot. Gabriel tells Adrien that he can tell him all about it later as he is busy at the moment. Adrien asks him if he can hang out with his friends, but Gabriel doesn't allow this and has Nathalie escort him out.
Once he's gone, Gabriel tells Nooroo that the emotion he is sensing is familiar, with the latter suggesting that it is Adrien's and that Gabriel should spend more time with him. Gabriel insists that everything he is doing is to make Adrien happy, although Nooroo claims that he may end up losing him instead if he continues down his dark path. Not wanting to listen to Nooroo's advice, Gabriel takes away his mouth, enters his lair, and transforms in Hawk Moth. He begins to consider that Nooroo may be right, recalling how Adrien almost fell off a building in "Gorizilla" because of his actions, though dismisses this and assures himself that he must succeed in his goals no matter what, sending an akuma after Aurore Beauréal, which infects her parasol inside the TVi studio elevator. Hawk Moth tells her that people never really change, only grow, and offers to turn her into Stormy Weather again with power over all the forces of nature, which she accepts. However, Ladybug and Cat Noir manage to defeat Stormy Weather, and Hawk Moth vows to one day send the duo into oblivion in response.
In "Timetagger", off-screen, Hawk Moth re-akumatizes Mr. Ramier into Mr. Pigeon twenty-four times in a row, much to Ladybug and Cat Noir's annoyance, as they gradually lose interest in easily overcoming him. After his last defeat, Hawk Moth deems Mr. Ramier a lost cause and prepares to detransform, only to sense a powerful negative emotion the likes of which he's never felt before. At that moment, the villain Timetagger arrives and confronts Ladybug and Cat Noir, claiming that he has come from the future to defeat them in the past. Hawk Moth comes to admire Timetagger while watching him battle Ladybug and Cat Noir—seeing him use his time-travelling abilities to transport himself around to spots he has tagged with graffiti to make himself virtually untouchable—and is then surprised as Timetagger contacts him. Timetagger tells Hawk Moth that, in his time, Ladybug and Cat Noir are adults, and that the Hawk Moth of the future had him go back in time to defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir before they reach their full potential. Hawk Moth expresses admiration in his future decision, refusing to wait until Ladybug and Cat Noir have grown up to achieve his goal, and orders Timetagger to defeat them.
Ladybug and Cat Noir manage to escape Timetagger before they detransform by running into the Louvre, where they also come across Alix Kubdel, who's watch gives them a riddle leading them to the Ancient Egypt exhibit, where they discover the trapped Bunnyx—Alix's future counterpart and Rabbit Miraculous user, whom Timetagger had sent back to said period after her Miraculous was damaged. After briefing Ladybug, Cat Noir and her past self on her mission to bring Timetagger back to the future, Bunnyx joins them in heading to defeat Timetagger, finding that he had begun to send various people back in time to alter history and painted over the area in order to warp wherever he wants, before the former engages him using her own time-travel powers. Watching the two battle, Hawk Moth remarks that victory is near, and compliments himself for making such a clever plan in the future. Eventually, Timetagger succeeds in defeating Bunnyx by sending her back in time through various periods to exhaust her, and demands that Ladybug and Cat Noir hand over their Miraculouses lest he send Bunnyx back to the big bang. Ladybug summons a notepad with her Lucky Charm and asks to write an apology to her future self before she gives up her Miraculous, Hawk Moth warning Timetagger that she could be tricking him, though he is confident she won't be able to.
As Ladybug and Cat Noir were prepared to give up their own Miraculouses, Hawk Moth excitedly prepares to get his hands on them, only for Timetagger to say that he won't be getting them. Hawk Moth is baffled by this claim, and Timetagger explains to him that though he had been sent in time by Hawk Moth, he is not the same Hawk Moth as the one in the future, leaving him distressed. However, Ladybug and Cat Noir manage to defeat and de-akumatize Timetagger with help from Bunnyx and their future counterparts, and the former then takes him (who, in reality, was an older Chris Lahiffe) back to his proper time. Meanwhile, Hawk Moth solemnly detransforms and returns to his atelier, where he expresses sorrow to Nathalie that, if he is no longer wielding the Moth Miraculous in the future, that he will inevitably fail; although she assures him that such a thing isn't certain to happen. Later on, Hawk Moth turns Mr. Ramier back into Mr. Pigeon again, and after de-akumatizing him, Ladybug and Cat Noir suggest that he grow fond of a new animal so that he won't be as easily susceptible to akumatization.
In "Startrain", Hawk Moth sends an akuma after Roger Raincomprix when he becomes frustrated by several legal offences while driving Sabrina to her school field trip. When Sabrina prompts her father to calm down, Hawk Moth orders his akuma to keep pursuing him, only to lose contact with it as it accidentally becomes trapped in Sabrina's bag, to his confusion. Later, the akuma ends up being released from Sabrina's bag while on the startrain, latching onto Claudie Kanté's feelings of failure to akumatize her into the titular villain, takes the train into space to live out her dream of becoming an astronaut.
As he is working in his atelier, Nathalie alerts Gabriel to the news about Startrain, making him realize that he lost contact with his akuma because it was too far out of range. Nathalie further informs him that Adrien's class is on the train as well, making Gabriel despair at the thought of his son being trapped in space without him being able to do anything. Regardless, Nathalie assures him that Ladybug and Cat Noir will be able to return everything to normal, and he notes the irony in having to wish for his enemies to succeed. Once Startrain is defeated by Ladybug, Cat Noir and Pegasus, Gabriel presumably sends Nathalie and Adrien's bodyguard to pick him up.
In "Feast", Gabriel watches the unveiling of a statue discovered in Tibet at the Louvre through his tablet, until Nathalie suddenly drops it and becomes ill once the statue is revealed. At the Agreste Mansion, Gabriel tells Adrien that Nathalie occasionally gets dizzy spells and that he doesn't need to be worried about her, distressing him. Once Adrien leaves, Nathalie informs Gabriel that the statue is actually a powerful, dormant sentimonster, which Gabriel suggests she bring back to life. Nathalie replies that, since she didn't create the sentimonster, she won't be able to control it, although Gabriel offers to hep her—stating that the sentimonster came from the same region he found the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses in and that it could be useful to him—before ordering her to return to the Louvre after getting some rest first. Meanwhile, Adrien tells Plagg that his mother used to get dizzy spells just like Nathalie, and that his father had also told him they were nothing to worry about as well.
That night, Mayura breaks into the Louvre to revive the sentimonster, and, after preventing it from eating her Miraculous and forcing it to obey her, tells Hawk Moth she has it under control. Hawk Moth thus sends an akuma to the sentimonster and, dubbing the monster "Feast", offers to give it more power in exchange for Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous. the sentimonster refuses the offer, although Hawk Moth tells it that he'll give back the Miraculouses once he's done with them and will even hand over his and Mayura's Miraculous as a bonus to satisfy it's hunger, getting the sentimonster to agree and thus be akumatized into Feast. Feast begins to chase after Master Fu after he steals back Marinette and Adrien's Miraculouses to protect them, with Hawk Moth and Mayura deducing that Fu must be the Guardian of the Miraculous if Feast is after him. Once Fu decides to stop running and decides to face Feast, Hawk Moth is delightfully surprised to learn that the Guardian is a "decrepit old man", and becomes assured that Feast will have no problem taking care of him.
After Ladybug and Cat Noir transform to save Master Fu, Hawk Moth tells Feast to devour them, which Ladybug allows the latter to do upon receiving a metal detector with her Lucky Charm. Delighted, Hawk Moth allows Feast to go after Fu and devour the other Miraculouses; however, before it can succeed, Ladybug and Cat Noir use the metal detector to find Master Fu's old staff among the things Feast has devoured, releasing the amok hidden inside it and thus destroying Feast. Hawk Moth screams in rage upon his defeat, before quickly tending to Nathalie as she collapses from exhaust. The next day, Gabriel and Nathalie watch Nadja Chamack's broadcast on the reappearance of the Guardian's Temple (as a result of Feast's destruction), while Master Fu decides to move as a result of Hawk Moth figuring out his identity. In his repository, Gabriel promises Ladybug and Cat Noir that he will put his knowledge about Master Fu's identity to use and use it to get his revenge on them.

Qin: Wow! There's so many of them!
Me: There sure are. But the reason Gabriel is doing all this is because he wants his wife back.
Qin: What happened to her?
Me: She's in a coma. But she disappeared off the radar and she is presumed dead.
Nico: So it's a Mr. Freeze and Nora Fries type situation.
Me: Exactly. But nobody in a marriage should ever be without their love.
Lincoln: That is sad.
Laney: It sure is.
Me: And he loves his son, Adrien, more than anything.
Nico: So we won't have to kill him. Just throw him in prison.
Me: And I have an idea. We're going to fight fire with fire.
Lana: How are we gonna do that?
Me: We're going to give all the villains he Akumatized all their powers back and have them turn against Hawk Moth. This time without having to use Negative Emotions. It was Negative Emotions that made them Akumatized. But with a little Team Loud Phoenix Storm Power, we're gonna have them help us on the side of good.
Lisa: That is genius.
Lola: (Older Voice) That just might work.
Me: But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. When Hawk Moth makes his move, we head out for Paris, France and attack.
Qin: Good idea. I hope he's not part of the Legion Of Doom.
Me: Let's hope not.
Vince: Yeah.
Maria: But what really saddens me is that the planet Krypton exploded.
Qin: I saw that in the comic books. Krypton exploded into nothing and killed all of Superman's people.
Me: It sure did. But that was before we met Superman and the whole Justice League.
Qin: How did that happen?
Me: It was after we built the U.S.S. Valor.
I explained what happened during the events of The Great Krypton Rescue.
Qin: Wow! So you brought all of Krypton to Earth!
Me: And they are now part of our planet as friends and as partners.
Qin: But how did Krypton explode?
Me: They were harvesting Krypton's unstable core. It accelerated it's own destruction.
Qin: That's crazy!
Me: It was because of their own ignorance that Krypton exploded.
I revealed the history of Krypton and how it exploded.
In its first appearance, Krypton was only depicted at the moment of its destruction, the nature of life on Krypton being unaddressed and frankly irrelevant to Superman's adventures on contemporary Earth; the plain fact of his extraterrestrial origin was considered sufficient enough to explain his superpowered status. Soon, beginning in the Superman comic strip, Krypton was shown to have been an evolved version of Earth, older by eons and possessed of all the beneficial progress that implied (though the downside was the hint that Krypton exploded due mainly to old age). This can be seen in the early descriptions of Superman having come from "a race of super-men" in early comics and serials, and one of the labels associated with him, "The Man of Tomorrow".
Kryptonians, though otherwise completely human, were superior both intellectually and physically to natives of Earth (further, Krypton had much heavier gravity, making them all stronger as well, their muscles evolved/adapted to the greater resistance). They lived under the rulership of a scientific elite, in cities of delicate art-deco towers, and wore costumes in the style of Alex Raymond characters. The trappings of Krypton were all rather reminiscent of the final technological utopia depicted in the H.G. Wells film Things to Come.
The debut of the Superman comic strip in 1939 also delved into further details about Krypton, including introducing the idea that all Kryptonians possessed a minimal level of heightened physical abilities, including super-strength and super-speed. In the early comics' version of Krypton, Superman's parents were named "Jor-L" and "Lora" (changed to the more familiar "Jor-El" and "Lara" by the end of the 1940s).
The Golden Age Krypton would be revised into another form almost as soon as it was defined (see Krypton in Transition below), and very few stories were written about it. However, after the introduction of DC's multiverse in the 1960s, this version of Krypton was declared to be the Krypton of the Earth-Two universe (the native dimension of DC's Golden Age characters) and its Superman. This was especially so in the late-1970s run of All Star Comics, where Power Girl, the Earth-Two version of Supergirl, was introduced.
In the Golden Age, Superman was unaware initially of his true origins; in Superman (volume 1) #61, Superman discovered the existence of Krypton for the first time and learned of his Kryptonian heritage. He later encountered other survivors prior to Kara's arrival in the form of three criminals, U-Ban, Kizo and Mala, who were exiled by his father before Krypton's destruction.
Krypton in transition
Over the course of the 1940s and 1950s, various alterations and additions to the makeup of Krypton were made in the comics. Among them was explaining why the natives of Krypton perished if they had possessed superpowers on their native world (as was the case in the earliest versions of Krypton outlined above, although this only became a problem once Superman—and by extension anyone from Krypton—was portrayed as increasingly powerful and able to withstand nuclear explosions, contrasted with his original power level in which a bursting mortar shell could penetrate his skin). Thus, it was explained by the early 1950s that Kryptonians were powerless on their own planet, and would only gain superpowers within a lower gravity environment. This matched the correct theories being published that when man reaches the moon (a lighter gravity environment) he will be able to lift great weights and leap great distances. In the early 1960s, added to this was the need to be exposed to the rays of a yellow sun (versus Krypton's red sun, which was older and "cooler", or put out less energy) to gain superpowers, with the yellow sun aspect soon gaining the much greater emphasis. Other changes to the concept of Krypton and its culture were introduced, many of which were stylistic.
Silver Age Krypton
By the late 1950s, Krypton played an increasingly larger role in various Superman stories, with greater amounts of details given to Krypton's makeup.
History
In the Silver Age version of Krypton, Kryptonians made use of their advanced science to create a world where scientific inventions and research influenced much of daily life. Robots and computers were used for many tasks on Krypton, even for determining what career paths young boys and girls would take as they grew up. Scientific and technological research was highly valued on Krypton, with the ruling body of Krypton named the "Science Council."
Several stories featured characters traveling back in time to visit Krypton before its destruction; the most well known of these is probably the 1960 story "Superman's Return to Krypton", in which Superman is swept back in time to Krypton some years before its destruction. Powerless, he spends some time on the planet, where he meets his future parents-to-be and falls in love with a Kryptonian actress named Lyla Lerrol. A Superman "imaginary story" entitled "What If Krypton Had Not Exploded?" (reprinted in the trade paperback edition The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told) gave more insight into Krypton's society.
Superman's Kryptonian heritage was a frequent factor in Silver Age Superman comic storylines, as he was fully aware of his origins from an early age. Superman would use this knowledge for such tasks as constructing robots or observing some of Krypton's traditions.
The terrain of this Krypton was bright and vivid, featuring such landmarks as the Scarlet Jungle, the Gold Volcano, and the Jewel Mountains. The Scarlet Jungle in particular contained many strange beasts and plants, such as a species of giant mole that could eat through metal.
There were two consecutive capital cities on Krypton: Kandor and Kryptonopolis. The city of Kandor was shrunk by the evil android Brainiac and taken away; Kryptonopolis became the new capital of Krypton. In his first encounter with Brainiac, Superman discovered the city of Kandor preserved in a bottle. He rescued it and took it to Earth with him, vowing to someday discover a way to return the city to normal size. In the late 1970s, Kandor was enlarged, and its inhabitants left Earth to settle on a new planet named Rokyn.
Krypton had two moons, but one of them was accidentally destroyed by the Kryptonian scientist Jax-Ur when he was experimenting with space travel. The disaster killed millions of inhabitants of the moon, and because of this, Jax-Ur became the first criminal to be banished to the Phantom Zone, which had been discovered by Jor-El. This disaster also prompted the Science Council of Krypton to ban space flight completely, providing another explanation of why Krypton's civilization perished with the planet.
Destruction
There are several versions of the destruction of Krypton in the Superman mythos.
In one, Krypton exploded due to a build-up of internal pressures in its uranium core. The explosion transformed most of the matter which made up the planet into a radioactive material that became known as Kryptonite, which would have various (generally adverse) effects on the few survivors of Krypton in ensuing years.
Other versions of the Superman origin story (namely Superman: The Movie and Superman Returns) depict Krypton's red giant sun going supernova and subsequently destroying Krypton and any other planets in the Kryptonian system.
Survivors
The Golden Age Superman was not alone in the survival of Krypton's destruction, being joined by his cousin Power Girl and three exiled criminals: U-Ban, Kizo, and Mala. A virtual reality created by Power Girl's father Zor-L also existed within her Symbioship, creating non-living duplicates based on deceased Kryptonians including her parents.
The Silver Age Superman was not alone in the survival of Krypton's destruction, being joined by his cousin Supergirl, the Phantom Zone criminals, Beppo the super-monkey, Krypto the Superdog, a juvenile delinquent named Dev-Em, and the entire population of the city of Kandor. When the planet exploded, one entire city of Krypton, Argo City, survived the cataclysm.
Argo City drifted through space on an asteroid-sized fragment of Krypton, which had been transformed into Kryptonite by the explosion. The super-advanced technology of its Kryptonian inhabitants gave the denizens of Argo City the ability to construct a life-sustaining dome that allowed them to survive for several years, in addition to building a lead shield that protected their city from the Kryptonite radiation of their asteroid. However, the protective shield was destroyed in a meteor storm, exposing the inhabitants to the deadly radiation. One sole survivor of Argo City, Kara Zor-El, was sent to Earth by her scientist father to live with her cousin Kal-El, who had become known as Superman. Kara adjusted to her new life on Earth and became known as Supergirl. It was later discovered that Supergirl's parents had survived in the Survival Zone, a parallel "dimension" similar to the Phantom Zone, from which she released them. When the bottle city of Kandor was finally enlarged on a new planet, Supergirl's parents joined its inhabitants to live there.
In 1979, a miniseries entitled World of Krypton was published, providing a great amount of detail into Krypton's history just before its destruction, along with the life story of Jor-El himself. A three-issue miniseries entitled The Krypton Chronicles, published in 1981, tells of Superman researching his roots when, as Clark Kent, he was assigned to write an article about Superman's family by an assignment editor impressed with the television miniseries Roots. To do so, he and Supergirl travel to Kandor where they learn the history of the El family. In 1985, writer Alan Moore gave a somewhat darker glimpse into the world of Krypton in his story "For the Man Who Has Everything" (in Superman Annual #11), the premise being an elaborate dream of Superman's in which Krypton had not exploded and he'd grown to adulthood there. Background details are culled from other Krypton stories. This same story was retold in Justice League Unlimited animated series in an episode by the same name.
The race of Krypton was believed by some to be linked to the planet Daxam, whose inhabitants also acquired powers and abilities similar to Superman's when they were exposed to the radiation of a yellow sun. However, the Daxamites, as they were known, were highly susceptible to lead poisoning, which affected them in a manner similar to Kryptonite when they came into contact with lead; however, the poisoning was not stopped by taking the lead out of the Daxamite's vicinity. One Daxamite, Mon-El, was poisoned by lead, and preserved in the Phantom Zone until a cure was found by Brainiac 5 in the 30th century, thereafter Mon-El became a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. In this version, the Daxamites were originally Kryptonians who left their homeworld in order to explore the universe.
The Eradicator, programmed to preserve all Kryptonian culture, altered the birthing matrices (artificial wombs) the explorers took with them so that the newborns would be fatally vulnerable to lead. Thus, if they persisted in their anti-Kryptonian wanderlust, they would all die from it.
Crisis on Infinite Earths
After the 1985 miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths, this version of Krypton was soon replaced by a newer version. However, the Silver Age Krypton made a rare post-Crisis appearance in The Sandman #48, during a flashback sequence featuring Death and Destruction of The Endless, beings who were evidently unaffected by the reality-altering events of the Crisis. In the relaunch of the Superman franchise, it was declared that the new version would never encounter another surviving Kryptonian.
The Man of Steel
Following Crisis on Infinite Earths, which rebooted the history of the DC Universe and retroactively eliminated the existence of the Golden and Silver Age versions of Krypton, writer/artist John Byrne was given the task of recreating the entire Superman mythos. This rewrite was started in the 1986 Man of Steel miniseries, which addressed Krypton in both its opening and closing chapters.
Krypton itself was the main subject of the late 1980s The World of Krypton miniseries (not to be confused with the 1979 miniseries of the same name). This miniseries was written by Byrne and illustrated by Mike Mignola, and filled in much of Krypton's new history.
History
The new Krypton was approximately the size of Earth and orbited a red sun called Rao 50 light-years from our solar system. Over 100,000 years ago, Krypton had already developed scientific advancements far beyond those of present-day Earth, and by a few millennia past had conquered disease, learned to retard the aging process, and perfected cloning; vast banks of non-sentient clones held multiple copies of each living Kryptonian so that replacement parts were always available in the case of injury. All Kryptonians were effectively immortal and eternally young, and enjoyed an idyllic, sensual existence in an Arcadian paradise.
However, this society was tipping towards decadence and eventually political strife resulted from the debate as to whether clones should have rights (sparked by the presence of an alien missionary known as the Cleric). Eventually this disagreement led to open violent conflict, during which Kryptonian science was turned to warfare and several super-weapons were developed and used. Among them were the devices which became known as the Eradicator and the Destroyer.
Although the Eradicator's effects (altering the DNA of all Kryptonian life-forms so that they would instantly die upon leaving the planet) were felt immediately, the Destroyer's effects were possibly more significant: by the time the Kryptonian government admitted defeat and abolished the clone banks, a terrorist faction known as Black Zero had started the Destroyer, a device intended to trigger a massively explosive chain reaction in Krypton's core.
At the time, it was believed that the device had been stopped before it could achieve this, but eventually it was discovered, centuries later by Jor-El, that the reaction had only been slowed to a nearly imperceptible rate and would eventually destroy the planet as intended.
The Destruction of Krypton
In the meantime, though it had for now survived the war, Krypton was scarred deeply by it. The formerly lush garden world was burned and blasted, left mostly a lifeless desert. In direct contrast to the society that had existed prior to the Clone Wars, a sterile, emotionally dead civilization emerged. The population became isolated from one another, living in widely separated technological citadels and shunning all personal contact. Procreation became a matter of selecting compatible genetic material which would then be placed within an artificial womb called a "birthing matrix." Any attempt to contact other worlds was forbidden, and the planetary government maintained an isolationist stance, forbidding space exploration of any kind.
It was into this world that the young scientist Jor-El was born. By his adult years, the mysterious "Green Plague" was killing Kryptonians by the hundreds, and upon researching the matter, Jor-El discovered that the cause was growing radiation produced by Krypton's increasingly unstable core. Due to this process, the planet itself was going to explode.
Unable to convince his associates to abandon tradition and consider escape, Jor-El took the birthing matrix of his unborn son Kal-El, removed the Eradicator's planetary binding, and attached a prototype interstellar propulsion system to the vessel. Just as the planet began to shake apart, he launched the matrix towards Earth, where it would open and give birth to the infant upon landing (The post-Crisis Superman therefore was technically "born" on Earth).
The Last Son of Krypton
A central theme of this version of the Superman mythos was that the character was to remain the last surviving remnant of Krypton. Thus, Silver Age elements such as Supergirl, Krypto, and Kandor had never existed in this version (though post-Crisis versions of these elements were eventually reintroduced).
The supervillain Doomsday was revealed in the 1990s as a being genetically engineered by Bertron, an alien scientist, on an ancient Krypton; this happened hundreds of thousands of years before the rise of Krypton's civilization (this fact explains how Kryptonians obtained their advanced technology).
In the newer continuity, Superman also only became aware of his alien heritage sometime after his debut as a superhero, when a holographic program encoded into the craft which brought him to Earth uploaded the information into his brain.
Revisiting Krypton
In a late 1980s storyline, Superman traveled to the former site of Krypton to discover that the planet was slowly reforming from the vast sphere of debris remaining. However, it would take millions of years before the planet would be solid again. This sphere of debris had been turned to Kryptonite by the planet's destruction, and the radiation causes Superman to have a hallucination concerning an alternate scenario in which the entire population of Krypton comes to Earth.
In the 1990s comic series Starman, Jack Knight became lost in time and space, landed on Krypton several years before its destruction, and met Jor-El as a young man. The story boldly implies that it was this early meeting with a Terran that led Jor-El to study other worlds, and eventually choose Earth as the target for his son's spacecraft.
In an early 2000s storyline, an artificial version of the pre-Crisis Krypton was created in the Phantom Zone by Brainiac-13, a descendant of the original Brainiac who had traveled back in time to the present. It was stated to have been based on Jor-El's favorite Kryptonian historical period.
Superman: Birthright
In the 2004 miniseries Superman: Birthright, a new retelling of Superman's origin and early years, Mark Waid depicted a Krypton, officially stated as being located in the Andromeda Galaxy 6 million light years away, with elements of various versions of the planet, but closer to the pre-Crisis version. It was later implied that the time-bending adventure in Superman v2, #200 and Infinite Crisis had rewritten history so this was now the "official" version, and later stories have held to Birthright as being the official current version of Superman's origin.
Waid also made use of Superman's "S"-shield in his version of Krypton. While in previous comic versions of the mythos, it was assumed the "S" simply stood for "Superman"; in Birthright, Waid presented the symbol as a Kryptonian symbol of hope (borrowing and modifying a concept from Superman: The Movie). DC's mandate for Superman being Krypton's only survivor changed as well. Birthright heralded the return of Krypto, Kandor, and Kara Zor-El as Supergirl. Superboy's origins were retconned later revealing that he was the cloned son of Superman and Lex Luthor making him half kryptonian.
The series reversed a lot of John Byrne's decisions from The Man of Steel to reflect the more Silver Age-oriented version of Superman, similar to Smallville television series and Superman movies.
Further Post-Birthright Revisions
However, a current storyline co-written by Geoff Johns and Superman director Richard Donner presents yet another version of Krypton which reintroduces the General Zod and the Phantom Zone criminals into mainstream continuity. With art by Adam Kubert, the design of Kryptonian society is distinct yet again from Birthright, incorporating elements of both pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity and Donner's work on the first two Christopher Reeve films, in particular the notion of Krypton's Council threatening Jor-El with harsh punishment were he to make public his predictions of their planet's imminent doom. Whether this further revision of continuity has an in-universe rationale is as yet unknown, but it may stem from continuity changes wrought by the reality-fracturing conclusion of Infinite Crisis.
Qin gasped in horror!
Qin: That's terrible! So Superman was cursed to wander the universe as the last Kryptonian?
Me: He was. But thanks to our rescue of everyone on Krypton, Superman has his people back.
Qin: I'm glad. But they will never harvest the core of Earth right?
Me: No. Thank goodness.
Breakdown: Do you think that Krypton's fate could've been changed?
Me: No. This was all completely unavoidable. Krypton was a completely unstable world.
Fireflight: It's a real shame what happened to Krypton.
Livewire: And to think that we heard Luthor say that Clark was just a no good hero playing God.
Me: That is one fucked up delusion.
Qin: Lex Luthor was a monster.
Me: He was worse than that.
I went over his history.
Lex Luthor's history and origin was altered during the New 52. In this continuity, Alexander "Lex" Luthor was born and raised in Smallville with his sickly sister Lena before moving to Metropolis where he got into contact with the extraterrestrial villain Brainiac.
As the pair secretly traded information between one another, Lex was recruited into an alliance with General Samuel Lane and Glen Glenmorgan to bring down Superman. But Luthor instead betrayed them by stealing their Kryptonite and having the plot leaked to Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent.
Eventually, Brainiac found his way to Earth and Lex tried to aid the invader in shrinking Metropolis. However he was caught and accused with endangering the city. During this time, Glenmorgan was also facing criminal charges, and his mind snapped under the pressure.
Meanwhile, Lex was let go due to lack of evidence and decided to fill the power vacuum left by Glen, who was Metropolis' corporate master at the time. Fours years after the foundation of the Justice League, Lex Luthor masterminded an invasion in order to sell superweapons to the army. It was this crime that had him come to blows against Superman for the first time. The ensuing fight between them resulted in Luthor receiving a scar across the left side of his face, his defeat, and his imprisonment for a year.
Superman: The Animated Series
Lex Luthor is the founder and CEO of LexCorp. He grew to resent Superman when he stole his spotlight as Metropolis' savior, and usually invested heavily in some of the Man of Steel's greatest foes, such as Metallo and Livewire. He sought to kill Superman for shutting down his major operations and costing him a lot of money. Although Superman already put away many of Luthor's co-conspirators, he could never convict Luthor himself due to lack of evidence. He was also known for his betrayals on many associates, causing many to leave LexCorp; the only one left was Mercy Graves. Lex also is shown to hate Batman as well, as he is an intellectual rival who teamed up with Superman to fight him when he and Joker teamed up, preventing Superman from being killed by Joker's kryptonite in the process. In Legacy, he was thrilled, the whole world turned against Superman when Darkseid brainwashed him and let him loose to take over and invade Earth. But Superman snapped out of it and earned the world's trust back and dismissed the charges against him.
Justice League
Luthor later fought the Justice League, but was subsequently defeated, exposed as a crook, and sentenced to prison. He also learned that he had a terminal form of radiation poisoning as a result of carrying around a chunk of Kryptonite for years, leaving him with only a few more months to live. He then joined up with Cheetah, Star Sapphire, Shade, Copperhead (who would be in jail and replaced by theJoker), Solomon Grundy and Ultra-Humanite, forming the Injustice Gang, in an attempt take down the Justice League, but failed. Luthor later "redeemed" himself by aiding the Justice League in defeating the Justice Lords and was given a full pardon.
Justice League Unlimited
After being freed from prison and cleared of all charges, Luthor reestablished his company and later entered politics and ran in the U.S. Presidential Elections. However, still bent on destroying Superman, he created Project Cadmus and succeeded in ruining the Justice League's reputation twice: once by causing Superman and Captain Marvel to fight each other, causing great destruction in the city, and again by taking control of the Watchtower's orbital cannon and causing it to fire on a Cadmus-related building in New Mexico.
Luthor's malevolent plans were later exposed by Batman and the Justice League, only for Brainiac to reveal that he had been dormant inside Lex ever since the episode Ghost in the Shell. Luthor later convinced Brainiac to fuse with him because they both could reach their ultimate goals. He then battled the Justice League, proving to be one of the group's most difficult foes. However, the Flash was able to separate the two after tapping into the Speed Force.
Luthor went back to jail with a damaged psyche. After Luthor escaped prison again thanks to The Key, Gorilla Grodd offered him membership in the newly formed Legion of Doom. Joining only to revive and refuse with Brainiac, Luthor eventually overthrew Grodd and took over the Legion (who did not oppose him after they learned Grodd's ultimate plan was to turn humanity into apes). Eventually, Lex's quest to revive Braniac lead the Legion into space, where he found a version of Brainiac that had been destroyed years earlier. However, Tala freed Grodd and he and a faction of the Legion fought Luthor and his supporters (which included the likes of Giganta, Bizarro, Toyman, Sinestro, Cheetah, Star Sapphire, Evil Star, etc.) After killing Grodd and trapping and absorbing Tala's magic to resurrect Brainiac, Lex discovers that he had accidentally resurrected Darkseid instead.
Luthor and the rest of the surviving Legion members barely escaped from Darkseid and made their way to Earth, where Luthor warned the Justice League, and he and his allies reluctantly team-up with them to fight against Darkseid and his army. Before the battle against Darkseid, Luthor points out to the Justice League that he doesn't want to help them save the world, but get revenge on Darkseid for destroying Brainiac and ruining his plans, before he and the Justice League go back in being enemies again as usual. He later left the battle with Metron and discovered the Anti-Life Equation. Returning to Earth with the Equation, he offered to share the knowledge with Darkseid, and they both disappeared in a spark of light. While they are presumed dead by the public, members of the Justice League have theorized they will eventually return yet again. However, both Luthor and Darkseid are now part of the Source Wall, that is the fate that occurs to all creature that solved the Anti-Life Equation, where they will remain likely for all eternity.
Qin: Boy what a monster!
Me: He was a monster. But we killed 2 versions of Lex Luthor. Well we killed just one and threw the other in prison. The Lex Luthor we fought here died on his way to a prison on the very farthest reaches of the universe. But he died a long ways from there.
Qin: What did he die of?
Me: He was diagnosed with a terminal form of blood cancer caused by Severe Kryptonite Poisoning. He had a chunk of Kryptonite with him for a long period of time and he got poisoned by it from its radioactivity. No cure. He deserves to burn in Hell.
Nico: You said it.
Lincoln: I'm glad we killed them.
Me: But the one I killed by blowing his head off, deserves worse.
Later the following morning we were having breakfast.
We found a new batch of cereal treasure called Starberries. They were really tasty. We found them at an island called Starfruit Atoll. It was an island with a star shape hole in it.
Me: Mmm. I like these Froot Loops the best.
Nico: They are delicious. And the blue loops look like stars.
Laney: They sure do.
Luan: These new Froot Loops will put a Twinkle in your eye. (Laughs) Get it?
We laughed.
Me: (Laughs) Good one Luan.
Eddy: (Laughs) That was funny!
Me: That was funny. Starfruit is a very popular tropical fruit. And a very tasty one.
Megan: It sure is.
Lily's watch beeped.
Lily: Whoop. It's time for me to go to work.
Me: Okay Lily. Have a good day.
Lily went up to her room and she grabbed her hat and went through the portal to the Krusty Krab.
Lily was working at the grill. She was working hard.
Lily: I know I've said this 90 times already but... I love Krabby Patties I think that they are swell. They are the best, there's no contest, and now I'm going to yell. Whew! I love Krabby Patties! I think they're swell. They're so neat, and quite a treat, and how I love the way they smell... La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la.
Karen: Lily is in a really happy mood today.
Mr. Krabs: She sure is Karen.
Lily: La la la la laaaaaaa... la la la la!
A tour bus comes out with Ms. Priss dusting the ground, coming out, and blowing a whistle that signals more ladies that are similar to her. Mr. Krabs is at the door wearing a viking helmet for some reason.
Mr. Krabs: Hello, and welcome one, and all your money to ye olde Krusty Krabbie!
Ms. Priss: Come along, sisters. Pay no mind to this crimson abomination! [Crimson is a shade of red. Priss walks into restaurant with sisters in single file behind her, stopping at the register and Squidward, who is reading a "Gossip" Magazine]
Nico: (Scoffs) (To himself) Rude.
Karen: [Notices Priss]
Ms. Priss: Greetings. Although your establishment seems repugnant and foul in nature, it seems not to offend our sensitivities. It is for that reason, plus the fact that we have been stuck on a tour bus for several days, that my sisters and I would like to eat something here.
Karen: Okay. But first, let me call the mortician and tell him his uniform's been stolen.
SpongeBob: Karen! These lovely ladies are obviously here to eat. So let's serve them some delicious Krabby Patties!
Ms. Priss: Well, Mr...um...
SpongeBob: SpongeBob Squarepants, my lady. [Places them back]
Ms. Priss: Mr. SquarePants, you know the basic rules of behaving like a civilized bottom feeder. Perhaps your restaurant isn't quite the hive of degenerates it appears to be, and we had you figured all wrong.
Sandy: HEY! I resent that!
Lily: [comes with tray of Krabby Patties and sings] Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... I like Krabby Patties! I think they're swell. I like Krabby Patties, can you not tell? Krabby Patties, Krabby Patties. They're so neat. La la la la la. Sweet to eat. La la la la la. Really neat. Sweet to eat. Treat that's neat. Sweet treat sweet treat. [Utter Gibberish] La la la la la la la la laaaaaaaa!
Ms. Priss: [blows her whistle, causing everyone to flinch and make SpongeBob fall on the floor, Patties and all] Look at this wild hooligan! Running amok, singing, dancing. It's... It's shameless. [Zooms in on Priss's face] Disgusting. Avert your eyes. [grabs onto SpongeBob] Young man, what has caused you to act like this? I must know!
Lily: Actually, ma'am, [holds up a Krabby Patty] it was the absolute fun and deliciousness of a Krabby Patty.
Ms. Priss: Krabby Patty?
SpongeBob: Yeah, that's right.
Ms. Priss: Well, anything this fun and delicious can't be good. Why, what would this world be if everyone cavorted it in such a manner?
Mr. Krabs: [Outraged] Who are you with your tight lips, raised eyebrows, and conservative clothes?
Ms. Priss: I am Ms. Gristlepuss. We are The United Organization Of Fish Against Things That Are Fun And Delicious. Or, T.U.O.O.F.A.T.T.A.F.A.D. for short. And we are going to ban these so called "Krabby Patties", and close your restaurant forever!
Mr. Krabs: Ok, if you're trying to shut down me restaurant because of my criminal record, I would understand. But you can't shut it down because it's fun!
Lily: That's right! You can't close down the restaurant! That's unlawful!
Ms. Priss: Oh yes we will!
Nico: Like hell you are!
Nico came up to them.
Ms. Gristlepuss: And who are you?
Nico: I'm Nicolas Chan. But everyone calls me Nico. Understand something. If you're posing a threat to the Krusty Krab, me and the Neptune Crusaders will take you down.
Ms. Gristlepuss: If we pose a threat? You have a spaceship with a planet destroying laser pointing down! This is one of the reasons why the Krusty Krab needs to be closed. To stop promoting terrorists like you!
Lana: The only terrorists are you fish for robbing everyone of fun and delicious food!
Lily: That's right! If you want to close down the Krusty Krab, you'll have to go through me and all of the Neptune Crusaders!
All of the Neptune Crusaders stood ready to rip them apart and turn them into chum!
Ms. Gristlepuss: Then our friend will have to kill all of you!
Then in came a huge fish and it was the mercenary DENNIS!
Dennis was an assassin who was hired by Sheldon J. Plankton to kill SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, making his first appearance when Plankton told his computer wife Karen about having someone who would kill the heroes. The reason being that Plankton stole King Neptune's crown sold it to a forbidden land called Shell City and framed Eugene H. Krabs for the crime, so Neptune threatened to execute Mr. Krabs (via burning by fire) unless the crown was to be retrieved within a period of six days; Plankton, obviously, wanted Krabs to die of a painful and wrongful execution, and upon learning SpongeBob's and Patrick's journey to get the crown back, he knew that Neptune would discover that Plankton was the thief, so he sent Dennis after them.
Dennis first appears in the film after SpongeBob and Patrick left on a mission to bring the crown back to King Neptune, he inspects left behind sesame seeds from the Patty Wagon and the two gasoline workers insult his hat. Annoyed by this, he literally pulls their mouths off before resuming his search for SpongeBob and Patrick.
Later in the film, SpongeBob and Patrick encountered Dennis for the first time during the middle of their journey. Dennis removes Spongebob and Patrick's mustaches that were used to become "men" (which are made of sea grass and given by Princess Mindy) from their faces, calling the duo out on their stupidity on the obviously fake mustaches, before advancing on them. When SpongeBob asks why Dennis wants to kill him and Patrick, Dennis explains Plankton hired him to do so, and in his overconfidence, he accidentally reveals to his victims that Plankton was the one who stole the crown and sent it to Shell City. Dennis then lifts up his foot to crush the duo with his "big" spike boot, only to be crushed by the Cyclops' "bigger boot".
After what happened at Shell City, SpongeBob and Patrick escape and ride on the backside of David Hasselhoff, who speedily swims through the ocean in order to send them back to Bikini Bottom. During the middle of the swim, SpongeBob and Patrick see the boot of the Cyclops that he stepped on Dennis with. It stops behind his foot and lifts back to show Dennis, who is squished into a green pulp like Plankton always does when somebody steps on him. Dennis then detaches from the boot and onto Hasselhoff, revealing that he is still alive. He tries to kill SpongeBob and Patrick. Dennis grabs SpongeBob by the throat but the latter blows soap bubbles into the hitman's eyes, making him to toss SpongeBob, but Patrick manages to catch him. The enraged Dennis then corners SpongeBob on Hasselhoff's heel. As Dennis prepares to crush SpongeBob and Patrick with his cleated boot, he suddenly hears the honk of a boat's horn. Dennis turns around to see, to his horror, Hasselhoff swimming straight towards a catamaran. Dennis is struck by the catamaran and falls back into the sea below, never to be seen again, though his fate remains uncertain.
Dennis: Miss me, kid?
SpongeBob: D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DENNIS!?
Lily: I remember this guy! He appeared in my vision I had when I stopped Plankton.
Mr. Krabs: Really?
Lily: Yeah!
Varie: Lets get these clods guys!
Megaforce Rangers: Legendary Ranger Mode: Turbo!
The Megaforce Power Rangers turned into the Turbo Power Rangers! Troy Burrows was the Red Turbo Ranger, Noah Carvers was the Blue Turbo Ranger, Gia Moran was the Yellow Turbo Ranger, Jake Halling was the Green Turbo Ranger, Emma Goodall was the Pink Turbo Ranger and Orion was the Blue Senturion Ranger
Dennis: You think a bunch of race car drivers and a robot are gonna stop me?
Orion: Hey! I resent that!
Varie: Lets rip these clods apart!
They went at them and a vicious fight broke out! Varie punched Dennis in the face with devastating force and knocked out some of his teeth. Lana fired a powerful blast of ice lightning and froze his feet off. Troy Burrows punched Dennis all over his face and knocked out all his teeth. Noah Carver punched him in the stomach and kicked him in the crotch and Jake Halling punched him in the chest and kicked him in the face. Gia Moran and Emma Goodall blasted him with their Turbo Blasters and they hit his legs and burned him. Orion punched him in the face all over. Bai Tza fired a powerful blast of water at Dennis and it slammed into his face and knocked out some more of his teeth. Girl Jordan fired a powerful blast of water that turned into a powerful dragon and it slammed into him and exploded. Irma and Maria fired a powerful blast of water at Dennis and it hit him and exploded. SpongeBob threw a powerful vat of scalding grease at Dennis and it covered his face and Dennis screamed in excruciating pain.
Nico: Dennis, you have failed this ocean!
Varie: Lets knock him down with our teamwork!
Breakdown: You got it bossette.
Varie: Bossette. I like that.
Breakdown: CYBER KEY POWER!
The Earth Cyber Planet Key went into Breakdown's back and it enhanced his concussion rifle 100-fold.
Sinnertwin: Lets get him! CYBER KEY POWER!
The Animatron Cyber Planet Key went into his back and enhanced his flame cannon 100-fold.
Breakdown and Sinnertwin: INFERNO SONIC CONCUSSION BURST!
Breakdown fired a powerful concussion blast and Sinnertwin fired a powerful flame blast and the blasts combined and burned Dennis all over.
Firefight: Lets get him! CYBER KEY POWER!
The Earth Cyber Planet Key went into his back and enhanced his fire fog missiles 100-fold.
Donald Duck: LET ME AT HER! ANIMATRON CYBER KEY POWER!
The Animatron Cyber Planet Key went into his right arm device and it enhanced his heavy object throwing powers 100-fold.
Firefight and Donald Duck: ANVIL MISSILE FIRESTORM!
Donald Duck threw a barrage of anvils and Firefight fired a powerful barrage of fire-fog missiles and they hit Dennis all over and exploded.
KRABBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Dennis was knocked out.
Lana froze him in a block of ice.
Nico: Stick around.
They turned their sights on the T.U.O.O.F.A.T.T.A.F.A.D. fish.
Bai Tza: You are not welcome in our favorite restaurant. What you are doing is very similar to the 18th amendment during the Great Prohibition back in the 1920's.
Lana: You old hags make me sick!
Bai Tza: Do you really think that we're terrorists just because we have a planet destroying laser? We would never use that against Earth!
Ms. Priss: LIAR! You are a menace to our world and you deserve to die!
Bai Tza: Shut up! MAELSTROM SPIN STRIKE!
Bai Tza spun around in a powerful tornado of water and spun them around in a vortex of water.
Maria: You ruined too many restaurants and destroyed the lives of many people! WATER DRAGON BURST RAY!
Maria fired a powerful blast of water and it turned into a dragon and it slammed into the old fish and exploded.
SpongeBob: You are bad fish! KRABBY PATTY BOMB STRIKE!
SpongeBob threw a Krabby Patty bomb and it hit the hags and exploded.
KRABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
Mr. Krabs: This is for trying to ban me restaurant! KRABBY PATTY SUPER BOMB!
Mr. Krabs threw a Krabby Patty and it hit the old fish and exploded big.
KRABBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!
Lily: You all are looking at spending the rest of your miserable lives in prison.
Dennis was sentenced to eternity in the Bikini Badlands Supermax Prison. Turns out the Bikini Bottom police have been after him for years for a bunch of numerous crimes and atrocities. He was put into the triple supermax part of the prison. The fish of T.U.O.O.F.A.T.T.A.F.A.D. were sentenced to life in the Ross Ice Shelf Supermax prison without parole and they now live in Plankton's old cell. They were also ordered to unban all of the restaurants that were falsely shut down because of their stupid lack of taste and ordered to pay $900 decillion in damages.
Bai Tza: (To the viewers) Organizations that ban restaurants for no good reason are stupid and a bunch of dumb idiots and if they want to ban restaurants, they will answer to us.
Varie: You said it Bai Tza.
Later they had SpongeBob annoy the hell out of Squidward in the Insane Asylum all day and he was driven further over the edge of insanity even more. They put an end to an evil organization of old hags that hate all things that are fun and delicious. Stupid hags.
THE END
Another Fanfiction Complete and another SpongeBob Episode done.
Banned In Bikini Bottom was a silly and funny episode that aired in Season 5 on November 23rd, 2007. But those old hags were stupid for banning the Krusty Krab and their food! STUPID FISH! Alec Baldwin voiced Dennis in the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and he did a great job. NicoChan11 gave me the ideas for this. Thanks man. Let me know what you all think. Next up after our break tomorrow is the first chapter for Regular Show. We're gonna face The Hammer.
See you all on Monday
