Enemies

  • Imperator Bog , the evil but foolish ruler of the Martians, is often fooled by the ugly Martians with fake progress reports. He has little tolerance for imperfection, his idea of ​​perfection is what he desires. He's often more of a tearful, warped kid's head. As the show progresses, Bog becomes more suspicious of his subjects. He's incredibly lazy that he doesn't even pluck the hairs of his own nose, but for some reason he has bulging abs and pecs.
  • Dr. Damage is Bog's intelligent right-hand man. He suspects the ugly Martians are up to something. Damage develops many instruments, machines and mutated creatures to conquer the earth, but these are usually destroyed by the ugly Martians, so that hardly any damage occurs. He insults Bog all the time behind his back, even though Bog usually listens to him, so he always has to pay a compliment that sounds a bit like what he said. He has also tried to overthrow Emperor Bog as a Mars Emperor on a few occasions. However, Emperor Bog found out and punished him by letting him wash and wax every ship on the base.
