Changes: Meldar Prime

Revision as of 02:48, 10 April 2020

Meldar Prime is alien celebrity and the seemingly charismatic host of the Intergalactic Showdown: a sadistic game show centered around abducting representatives from four different species and forcing them to compete against each other in a variety of challenges. The winning team is awarded with a space car and a chance to return to their world victorious, whereas the losing teams have their planets annihilated.

Biology

Physically, he appears just as a head attached to a robotic body without legs, which moves around by floating. His cufflinks serve as matrix generator devices that give him almost unlimited power over space, time, and reality itself, leaving him practically invincible and preventing contestants from turning against him.

Personality

When presenting his show, Meldar puts on a bombastic persona, which only hides a very sadistic side to him, as he delights in seeing the contestants lose and have their planets destroyed as a result. His main concern is guaranteeing that the show will be a success, and he's not above demeaning species that he considers inferior.

History

During an episode of Intergalactic Showdown, a Gorlock named April formed an alliance with a Human named Jimmy Neutron, intending to unite forces against Meldar and put a definitive end to his show, to prevent more planets being destroyed. Jimmy discovered the source of Meldar's powers, which consists of matrix generators in his cufflinks. Once they manage to remove them, Meldar was rendered defenseless and easily defeated.

Even before these events, Meldar acted particularly antagonistic towards the Humans, as exemplified by him forcing them to vote off one of their team members (although it should be pointed out that, even then, they were still more numerous than the other teams), and preventing Jimmy's robotic dog Goddard from assisting him in the Obstacle Course. It's not known how much these acts reflect a genuine desire to enforce the rules of the show and how much they reflect Meldar's poorly-disguised wish to see the Earth destroyed.

Appearances

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, s02e18-20, "Win, Lose and Kaboom!" (2004)

Notes

Meldar's name might be a play on the Nintendo video game, Metroid Prime. The character is also a parody of Jeff Probst from Survivor, as well as game show hosts in general.
Despite being the villain of a three-part episode that was made into a TV movie, Meldar didn't return as a member of the League of Villains, which did include several aliens such as the Yolkians, the Space Bandits, and the Junkman.

+During an episode of ''Intergalactic Showdown'', a [[Gorlock]] named April formed an alliance with a [[Human]] named Jimmy Neutron, intending to unite forces against Meldar and put a definitive end to his show, to prevent more planets being destroyed. Jimmy discovered the source of Meldar's powers, which consists of matrix generators in his cufflinks. Once they manage to remove them, Meldar was rendered defenseless and easily defeated.
-He is the host of the game show ''Intergalactic Showdown'' which abducts various alien races and forces them to compete in the various games and challenges the show presented - The winning team got a space car while the losing teams' home planets were blown up. April, a Gorlock, forms an alliance with Jimmy to take Meldar down to shut ''Intergalactic Showdown'' down for good.
+Even before these events, Meldar acted particularly antagonistic towards the Humans, as exemplified by him forcing them to vote off one of their team members (although it should be pointed out that, even then, they were still more numerous than the other teams), and preventing Jimmy's robotic dog Goddard from assisting him in the Obstacle Course. It's not known how much these acts reflect a genuine desire to enforce the rules of the show and how much they reflect Meldar's poorly-disguised wish to see the Earth destroyed.
-Mekdar uses matrix generators hidden in his cufflinks to manipulate time and space, which makes him very powerful. During the final battle, Jimmy realizes this and has Carl swiped them from Meldar using his Florgus, Sugar Cube. He is defeated and demoted, leaving him
-to be tortured and painfully electrocuted forever.

-Meldar is presented as a typical game show host but also a cruel, sadistic and arrogant businessman who only cares about the ratings of his show, and has no qualms with destroying entire planets if it means gaining more ratings and popularity to make his show successful. He is sadistic and mocking to the competitors (Jimmy and his friends
-especially), and the power afforded to him is the reason why his Matrix Generators went to his head.

-* Meldar seemed to have wanted to blow up Earth since he'd done things like forcing Jimmy and the others to vote one of their mates off  their team so that way they'd be short handed (Although even with the one less member, they still had more teammates than the others), and trapping Goddard in a force field bubble before he could race with Jimmy and the others against the Brains across the Obstacle Course not allowing him to do so so that way when the Brains put them in their hypnosis they'll not be able to have a way to help them get through the dangerous course after they wake up so they won't be able to catch up to them in time allowing Jimmy and the gang to lose Intergalactic Showdown.
