There was the mystic Dr. Fortune, but his real name was "Dr. For-chung." His disguise was putting on a hat (like superman's glasses). He likes to just slap people for no reason. The Screaming Scotsman. Born thousands of years ago, dressed in plaid and a kilt, and the thickest brogue you've ever heard. His weapons were his bagpipes. He got this way after he broke an oath and was cursed to look like a clown until he did enough good deeds to make up for it. The Scots were so impressed with his power that they copied him in every way, and now he hates all Scots (he's actually Jewish; to help get this point across he flies around on a giant Star of David). Also part of the curse is that every time he dies he goes back to when he was first cursed, which means he's now several times the age of the universe. Incognito, the world's worst ninja. The person who played her was an idiot, so Incognito would always charge at whatever was attacking at the time. She has had every limb replaced. Abo-man, an aborigine who rides around in the pouch of a giant talking kangaroo. Evil Kneebler was a disgruntled Keebler elf who left the tree after embezzling huge sums of money. Now he rides on a harley, smokes cigars, and beats people up with a huge iron rolling pin. Dementos, with incredible mental powers. He was more of a villain because he liked to torment the hostages while they were being rescued (creating the mental illusion that they were on fire, etc.). He could fly at Mach 2, but he could do it while standing straight up (as opposed to a superman-style of flying into the wind; he was as aerodynamic as a brick).
