LOUZY VILLIN WEE ADORE TOP SIX WEEK: EARTHWORM JIM

Number Three! Professor Monkey-for-a-Head (and his skullmate, Monkey Professor-for-a-Head)

As you might have already noticed, Professor Monkey-for-a-Head has a monkey for a head. Yeah, look closer. See? There it is! A monkey! For me, this guy is right there next to the line that separates great lousy villains from GREATASTIC lousy villains. I bet he glances at the other side at times and says, "I'm glad I am in the side of the GREATASTIC lousy villains."

To what Monkey Professor-for-a-Head probably replies, "Oooo oooo ahh ahh ahhh!".

Professor Monkey-for-a-Head is the evil scientist who created the Ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit that Jim wears and that gives him his powers and really big raygun. Said suit is powered by the BATTERY OF THE GODS, and that's the only reason he hasn't created another one for himself yet - he once states that when he went to see THE GODS to get another battery, they turned him into a bread maker (he says it's kinda handy when he's hungry).

Your average evil invention.

The Professor seems to be the least evil of the crew. I'd say that's probably because he, unlike the other baddies, has actually other things to do besides conquering the Universe. He's got a bunch of hobbies. Like gourmet cooking. When he's being evil, however, he often teams up with Psy-Crow. Why? They both hate their boss the Queen.

All in a day's work. Also: PHALLIC IMAGERY

Still on his friends, you'd expect Professor and Monkey to have a wonderful relationship, no? NO. The monkey is NOT helpful. First of all, Monkey Professor-for-a-Head loves to annoy the Professor. How miserable would your life be if you shared a head with a smelly primate, who's always eating bananas, ruining your experiments, and who always starts complaining whenever you say "I will destroy you, Earthworm Jim!". "We will destroy you, Earthworm Jim" appears to be the correct way.

The one literal killer smile.

The immensely evil professor works for Queen Slug-for-a-Butt, and being apparently the best mad scientist in the galaxy, almost every evil gizmo you lay your hands on will be "Made in Monkey-for-a-Head Laboratory". He is voiced by Charlie Adler. Which is awesome, since that guy voiced Dr. Doom and Starscream as well. Professor Monkey-for-a-Head's voice is extremely hammy, and it fits both the character and the show itself wonderfully.

What makes this guy better than wonderful villains like Evil Jim, Psy-Crow and Bob the Killer Goldfish? It's hard to say. Probably the feel. The fact he's got a monkey for a head is a factor, sure, but he's got a lot of hobbies and such, making him seem very human, and in the same time very awesome. Come on, he's a mad scientist who enjoys gourmet cooking! Monkey-for-a-Head is merely a guy who happens to be evil and have a monkey for a head. And I think we can all relate.

Tomorrow, number two! Grab a seat, it'll be awesome.
