BeavKat Character No. 002
Mr. Doom
The Dark Overlord
Mr. Doom didn't become a villain overnight. He studied. He trained in the dark arts while everyone else was sleeping. Now he shows up in his battle helmet swinging a flaming bone, and he takes it personally when nobody runs away. Bob is his favorite opponent, mostly because Bob never seems scared, which drives him absolutely crazy.
Originally drawn by Luke and Leo, later vectorized into a heavier, darker silhouette so the roster had someone who could feel like a proper rival.
Mr. Doom works because he commits completely. He never looks like he is joking, even when the design makes him delightfully dramatic.
The fire, bone weapon, and dark metal helmet push the roster away from pure mascot territory and into a playful fantasy-combat lane.
He gives the cast friction. Once Doom shows up, the rest of the characters have someone solid to bounce against.
