The SAMES
The SAMES
Voiced by: Tom Kenny
The maintenance robots aboard the Galaxy One, as well as its main defense.
- Arm Cannon: Their hands can transform into laser guns. It takes a while for Gary to realize that he also has one, despite having his robot arm coming from robots.
- Blade Below the Shoulder: When they need to fight in melee, they have retractable blades that can replace their hands. A feature that Gary also inherits thanks to his robot arm.
- Blood Knight: One of them apparently "never felt so alive" during combat. Given that they're all nearly identical, it's likely they all share this trait.
- Distinguishing Mark: Gary named some of his favorites by writing names on their foreheads. So far, named SAMEs include Hank, Carl, Rob, Orson, Noodles, and Boobs.
- Fun with Acronyms: S.A.M.E.S. stands for Synthetic Artificial Masses Erecting Safeness
- Killed Offscreen: They all got destroyed along with the Galaxy One in the Season 1 finale. In season 2, Fox is using Carl's head as a flower pot.
- Mecha-Mooks: On the good guy's side, which is rare for the trope.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Their eyes glow red whenever security protocol is activated and they are ordered to fight.
- Red Shirt: So far they've been no match for anything they've fought.
The DeWinter Family
David DeWinter, Melanie DeWinter, and their two unnamed Sons
David DeWinter and both Sons voiced by: Olan Rogers, Melanie DeWinter voiced by: Tika Sumpter
A very unlucky family of Hooblots who used to live on Tera Con Prime.
- Crusading Widower: After the events of Chapter 2, David and his sons gave up everything in their lives to exact vengeance on Gary.David: (to Gary) Ever since the day I held the torn flesh-sack of my beloved Melanie, I knew I had to hunt you down! It is my life's purpose! I quit my job! I took the kids out of school!Both Sons: (waving cheerfully at Gary) Hello, mommy!David: I emptied my savings! You killed the mother of my sweet children!
- In Season 3, however, he ends up abandoning this quest when he falls in love with the Queen of Galang-22 and the family leaves the scene without a fuss.
- Genuine Human Hide: All the DeWinters get slammed mercilessly by this trope.
- First, in "Chapter 2", Clarence gives Gary an "alien disguise" which he made of Melanie DeWinter's skin, so Gary can travel around Terra Con Prime safely.
- Later on, Gary suddenly finds himself jettisoned straight inside the DeWinter house. All of Melanie's grieving family are overjoyed to find "her" alive... right up until the Sons accidentally rip their mother's skin apart in a tug-of-war game, traumatizing the DeWinters exponentially worse than before.
- History "repeats," (er, kinda) when Gary goes back in time in "The Remembered". Once again, Clarence supplies Gary with an alien skin-suit disguise to get through Terra Con Prime... this one made from Melanie DeWinter's father.
- Then Melanie, herself, stumbles upon her Gary, and rips his disguise apart while tearfully embracing her "dad." The shock causes her to suffer a fatal heart attack.
- Hollywood Heart Attack: Alas, poor Melanie.
- Misplaced Retribution: Hilariously Zig-Zagged in the end. The three surviving members want Gary dead after finding out early in the show in the worst way possible through him that Melanie is dead, even though Gary wasn't the one who killed and skinned her. In Season 2, it turns out that their vendetta against Gary is somewhat well-founded, as Gary did via time travel shenanigans accidentally cause a past Melanie's death via heart attack when she found out through an encounter with him that her own father had died and been skinned.
- No Name Given: Neither of the Sons.
- Revenge by Proxy: The DeWinters also intend to go after Sheryl Goodspeed, not just Gary. The fate David has planned for Sheryl is grotesque.David: (to Gary) We're going to hunt you down, and we're going to hunt your mother down and kill her as well! An eye for an eye... or more like a flesh-sack for a flesh-sack!
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior:Son #1: (referring to Gary) I'm gonna kill Mommy!Son #2: No, I'm gonna kill Mommy!
Todd H. Watson
Todd H. Watson / "Hushfluffles"
Real form
Voiced by: Alan Tudyk
A vengeful man out for Gary's blood due to his perceived failure at saving Earth.
- All for Nothing: Todd trying to prevent Clarence from activating Van Newton's dimensional bridge. He's ultimately killed by one of the Evil KVNs, but still manages to mortally wound Clarence before dying. He believed he succeeded of trapping Gary and his crew in Final Space. He dies believing he'll be with family in the afterlife; however, Clarence got back up and activate Van Newton's dimensional bridge. At the end of Season 3, Gary and his crew managed to escape Final Space and thus Todd's efforts and his death was in vain. Due to Todd's evil actions, he won't be with his family in the afterlife in Heaven, but he'll be in Hell alone.
- Back for the Dead: After Season 2 left his fate ambiguous, he's revealed to have survived in Season 3 and returns as an antagonist trying to prevent Clarence from activating Van Newton's dimensional bridge. He's ultimately killed by one of the Evil KVNs, but still manages to mortally wound Clarence before dying.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: Todd has some thick eyebrows.
- Crusading Widower: A villainous example. Todd wants to kill Gary for blaming the latter for losing the Earth leading to the death of his wife (and son).
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Ends up on the receiving end of one, from Tribore of all people. While Todd is obviously doing his best, he doesn't manage to land a single hit on Tribore while the latter effortlessly dodges and parries his attack, even using Todd's own hand to repeatedly slap him in the face before finishing him off with a Roundhouse Kick.
- Dark and Troubled Past: He was Forced to Watch his family be killed after the Earth was pulled into Final Space.
- Dying Declaration of Hate: Despite Clarence's heartfelt speech to Todd to convince him of the futility of his vendetta against Garry, which actually seems to get through to him, Todd still spend his Last Breath Bullet shooting Clarence in the back before passing away from his wounds, apologising to him for doing so, but clarifying that he still considers Garry's death to be Worth It in the end for him.
- Dying Smirk: Gives one of these after shooting Clarence in the back, believing he'd killed him and doomed Gary to death in Final Space.
- Fate Worse than Death: After getting his ass effortlessly kicked by Tribore, he gets sealed in one of the very devices he used to drain people from their life force and is jettisoned into space while his ship is destroyed. Subverted in "Hyper Trans-Dimensional Bridge Rising" when he reaches and dies on Calden-1, content to reunite with his wife and kid in death thinking he successfully trapped Gary in Final Space by killing Clarence before he could turn on the bridge on their end.
- Faux Affably Evil: When disguised as Hushfluffles, he comes off as bubbly and excitable. Beneath the surface, however, he is an empty husk with a deep thirst for vengeance.
- Foil: To the Lord Commander/Jack. They are both recurring, maniacal antagonists with powerful forces at their disposal. Unlike Jack, however, Todd is human and plays up a more sympathetic side. And also unlike Jack, who tries to capture Mooncake for his own gain and is at cross for Gary and the crew for interfering, Todd’s attack is a lot more straightforward, mostly since Gary is actually his target from the beginning.
- Forced to Watch: Todd could only watch from a monitor as his family was killed, unable to do anything.
- Gonk : While Final Space characters aren't very detailed due to the show's art style, it's pretty obvious that Todd isn't exactly what you'd call an attractive man; he's missing one of his front teeth, the other ones are an unhealthy shade of yellow, he has a broken nose, massive cheekbones and the wart on his right cheek would give Lemmy Kilmister a run for his money. The fuzzy, bright red "Hushfluffles" bodysuit that he keeps wearing all the time doesn't help his case, either.Tribore : "Sorry, can't hear you; that shirt is too loud !"
- Hate Sink: There really isn't anything likeable about Todd. What he does to others is horrible, he harvests innocent people who did nothing wrong to him for his selfish gains, even his Freudian Excuse makes him more hatable because he's blaming and trying to kill someone who wasn't even responsible for his families' death.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Gets impaled through the torso by one of the Evil KVNs in "Hyper-Transdimensional Bridge Rising", which leads to his death even though he still manages to fatally shoot Clarence in an attempt to prevent him from activating the dimensional bridge that would allow the Team Squad to leave Final Space.
- Irrational Hatred: He hates Gary explicitly because he's got no one else to blame for the deaths of his family, even though Gary's in no way responsible by any stretch of the imagination.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Gets his ass soundly kicked by Tribore, one of his former prisoners, before getting locked into one of his life draining pods and launched into space.
- Last Breath Bullet: Before he succumbs to his wound from the Mega-KVN, he blasts Clarence once more in order to (unsuccessfully) keep him from turning on the bridge and save Gary and co. from Final Space.
- Misplaced Retribution: Wants nothing more than to destroy Gary and his friends due to blaming him as being indirectly responsible for the Earth's destruction.
- Moral Myopia: Hates Gary with a passion for supposedly losing the Earth which killed his family but doesn't seem to acknowledge how he is draining dozens of crews of their lives, thus depriving them of seeing their loved ones.
- Mysterious Middle Initial: He introduces himself as "Todd H.Watson", leaving his actual middle name unknown.
- Obviously Evil: Just take a look at his costume and tell us if you think he's in any way a good and trustworthy person.
- Outliving One's Offspring: His son died when Earth was pulled into Final Space.
- Revenge Before Reason: Puts all of his efforts in exacting his revenge on Gary for something that was not even his fault to begin with, and even when Clarence of all people points out that his family wouldn't have wanted him to take revenge, he still kills Clarence in an attempt to trap the Team Squad in Final Space.
- Sole Survivor: Of his family, as they were killed when the Earth was destroyed.
- Start of Darkness: Todd was apparently an ordinary Earthling prior to the Earth's destruction, which lead to the deaths of his wife and son. Now, he's an evil maniac bent on killing Gary.
- Stupid Evil: Todd and Sheryl probably would have succeeded in their missions, but Todd’s obsessiveness mixed with Sheryl’s arrogance soon lead to their karmic defeats. Sheryl decides to go solo on the dark planet to find the fifth key, where she is outnumbered and eventually defeated. On the other hand, Todd finds himself curb-stomped by Tribore, one of his former prisoners, and jettisoned into space inside his own life-draining capsule. Lastly, both villains don’t seem to realize that their revenge scheme against Gary is easier said than done. Gary has the ENTIRE Crimson Light by his aid, and getting to him specifically proves difficult.
- Villain of the Week: Todd is the main antagonist of "The Happy Place".
- Villain Team-Up: With Sheryl as of "The Lost Spy". Their first encounter is hostile, but when Todd discovers in her memories that they have a common grudge against the same person, they join forces. Todd hires Sheryl for Gary's arrest, in exchange for helping her round up the rest of the dimensional keys.
- We Have Reserves: Makes a job out of luring space crews and harvesting their happiness (i.e. life energy) which would then be used to fuel the galaxy.
Evil KVNs
Evil KVNs / Mega-KVN
Mega-KVN
Voiced by: Fred Armisen
An army of KVNs that Clarence had bought, unfortunately, they've gone rogue and seek to kill him.
- Ax-Crazy: They want to murder the crew in revenge for imprisoning them for several years. Clarence in particular.
- Body Horror: A robotic variation. The Mega-KVN is assembled by several other KVNs merging into a giant robot.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Discussed. The KVNs go into great detail on how they're going to kill Clarence, such as ripping off his penis and using it as a necklace.
- Drama-Preserving Handicap: They're introduced as unstoppable Killer Robots who can shrug off anything the heroes throw at them, and have to be Thrown Out the Airlock in order to be finally defeated. When they return in Season 3, Todd H. Watson manages to easily kill one of them by repeatedly shooting it with a basic handgun.
- Evil Counterpart: To our KVN.
- Monster of the Week: Of "The First Time They Met".
- Not Quite Dead: The crew believes that sending them out of the airlock is the only way to kill them. Turns out that they can even survive in space without oxygen and vow to get their revenge some day. They do eventually return in the ninth episode of Season 3, but get defeated without getting to face the Team Squad again.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: They all sport red glowing eyes to signify their corruption.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Upon being freed by our KVN, they waste no time in taking over the ship.
- Thrown Out the Airlock: How the crew manages to stop them, as they're immune to any form of firepower.
- You Will Be Spared: They seek to kill the entire crew (mainly Clarence), except our KVN, likely because Ape Shall Never Kill Ape.
Time Swap Sammy
Time Swap Sammy
Voiced by: Tom Kenny
An alien who is in charge of preventing ripples in timelines.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: The list of things he tells the Team Squad they are not allowed to do in the past that could create a Butterfly Effect is "no disturbing, no killing, no romancing, and no tipping". Fox is horrified by the last one.
- Back for the Dead: He reappears as an antagonist in Season 3, only to be unceremoniously killed off by an alliance of other villains.
- Cartoon Creature: He has the appearance of an alien rabbit, but with the ears flopped down and he has three fingers.
- Face–Heel Turn: The events of "Hyper-Transdimensional Bridge Rising" reveal that he lost his job as a consequence of his actions in Season 2, which made him greatly resent the Team Squad and vowing to kill them as revenge. He dies before he gets a chance to try anything, though.
- Ignored Expert: He warns the Team Squad that even the slightest change in the past could cause the entire universe to be destroyed. They decide to continue with their plan to steal the Dimensional Key in the past and rescue Avocato anyway.
- Ironic Last Words: He declares "Over my dead body!" right before meeting a Multiple Gunshot Death.
- Multiple Gunshot Death: How he meets his end in Season 3.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: His Season 3 reappearance reveals that despite making efforts to cover his actions in his debut after he broke Time Swap laws whilst going out of his way to help the Team Squad, Time Swap Sammy was still busted by his superiors and lost his job, and now instead of being "Time Swap Sammy", he's known as "Spare Some Change Sammy". As a result, he now wants revenge on Gary.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Unlike some of the characters, Sammy has the appearance of a Dr. Seuss-style creature. Plus, he is the only character with visible irises.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Although he warns against changing the past, he is willing to help the Team Squad save Avocato from dying. All he asks for in return is they give him the Dimensional Key they stole, and follow his instructions of someone staying in the past to replace Avocato so time doesn't collapse in on itself.
- Time Police: He warns the crew of the Crimson Light not to change anything in the past, and stops them when they try to return to the present with a dimensional key they obtained in the past.
- Undignified Death: When he returns to try and keep Clarence from helping the guy who cost him his job, he's shot dead by almost everyone else out for the old bastard's blood before he can even do anything beyond making his presence known.
Zombie Garys
Zombie Garys
Voiced by: Olan Rogers
Gary Goodspeed's dead alternate selves from other timelines who are now possessed by Invictus.
- Alternate Self: All of them are versions of Gary Goodspeed from hundreds of Alternate Timelines where they sacrificed themselves closing the breach to Final Space.
- And I Must Scream: Horribly enough, it's eventually confirmed that all the zombie Gary's' souls are still trapped inside their Invictus-possessed husks, and the account of one zombie Gary who was freed from Invictus' influence before expiring suggests that the possession forces all of them relive their deaths in the vacuum of Final Space endlessly.
- Back from the Dead: Invictus' possession aside, one of them gets exorcised by Ash in "The Dead Speak" and survives for a few minutes before dying as himself.
- Body Horror: Most of them are absolutely mangled if not rotted through.
- The Dead Have Eyes: Glowing, purple eyes to be precise. At least, those of them that still have a recognizable face.
- Dying as Yourself: One of them experiences this after Ash exorcises Invictus from him, living for about a minute as himself before dying semi-peacefully.
- Elite Zombie: They can run and fight no matter how decayed or damaged their body is.
- Fallen Hero: Each and every one of them used to be a Gary Goodspeed from an alternate timeline who failed in his quest and died a horrible death; they all ended up in Final Space, and now Invictus uses their reanimated corpses to hunt down the "main" Gary and his friends.
- Fearless Undead: Since Invictus is the one controlling all of them, they have no individual sense of self-preservation.
- Glowing Eyelights of Undeath: All their eyes glow purple. This is due to Invictus using them as its thralls to hunt down the heroes.
- Heroic Sacrifice: All of these other Gary's come from a multitude of Alternate Timelines where they gave their lives closing the breach to Final Space.
- Laser Blade: In "The Dead Speak", one of the zombies reconfigures his robot arm into a Laser Blade (just like the main Gary can do with his own robot arm) and uses it to stab Sheryl.
- Mind-Control Eyes: All of them have the glowing purple, pupiless eyes which signify possession by Invictus.
- Night of the Living Mooks: They are dead Garys from countless different timelines, whose bodies are used as footsoldiers by Invictus.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Every single one of these alternate Gary's ended up in Final Space by sacrificing themselves to close the breach that threatened Earth in their respective timelines, and their reward is "drowning in an ocean of space" once they were on the other side, followed by Invictus possessing their corpses as puppets and their souls becoming trapped in an And I Must Scream.
- No Zombie Cannibals: Since they're all controlled by Invictus and aren't "traditional" brain-eating zombies to begin with, they are not interested in attacking each other.
- Our Zombies Are Different: They're quite close to the Voodoo Zombie with shades of Possessing a Dead Body, being corpses reanimated by Invictus to serve as its vessels and cannon fodder. Interestingly, these zombies prefer to shamble when they get close to Invictus' target but they're very much capable of fast running when it's required.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The dead Gary whose consciousness gets to speak with the Team Squad is thoroughly traumatized by his And I Must Scream experience whilst his corpse was possessed; displaying none of the main Gary's humor or bravado, regularly shuddering spasmodically and overall needing the biggest hug in the universe plus a fricking therapist.
- People Puppet: They're dead bodies being controlled by Invictus.
- Possessing a Dead Body: Yes, Invictus can control corpses too.
- Rocketless Reentry: How they make it to the planet Gary and his team are stranded on. Invictus just let them all fall from orbit, then reanimated them after they hit the ground. It's almost kinda impressive how some of them are still in one piece when most of them should've logically turned into paste.
- They later pull the same move when they attack the Team Squad on Earth in "Until the Sky Falls".
- Slasher Smile: Due to being possessed by Invictus, most of the ones whose mouths aren't too badly decayed to make any kind of expression constantly sport this.
- Voodoo Zombie: All of them are reanimated and puppeteered by Invictus' power to act as its undead slaves. Further to this trope, it's eventually revealed that all the dead Gary's' souls are still trapped in their bodies.
- You Don't Look Like You: Very downplayed but some of them display some minor differences compared to the main Gary, hinting that something different happened in their timeline. For example, some of them still have their organic left arm despite wearing the clothes Gary had by the end of Season 1, some have the bionic arm on the opposite side of their body, and some are wearing an Infinity Guard uniform.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: They where all Garys from alternate timelines, all of which managing to close the breach yet losing their own lives as a cost and its implied all but one of the alternate timeline Quinns failed to save them in the end; not to mention being possessed by Invictus.
- Zombie Gait: Zig-Zagged. They prefer to shamble, but prove they are just as fast as Gary himself, making them all that more dangerous.
Tim Belts
Tim Belts
Voiced by: John DiMaggio
A dead prophet, who leaves a posthumous prophecy for Tribore and Quatronostro.
- Ambiguous Syntax: Tim Belts refuses to actually say who between Tribore and Quatronostro is the chosen one.
- Full-Name Basis: He's pretty much always referred to as Tim Belts.
- Junkie Prophet: Tim Belts was known to be "a late-stage alcoholic soothsayer." Not that it made him any less revered as a prophet.
- Mathematician's Answer:Tim Belts: The time has come for YOU to liberate the Forsaken and lead them out of Final Space!Tribore: When you say "you," do you mean me or Quatronostro?Tim Belts: YES! For I have foretold: YOU are the Great Liberator!
- Pajama-Clad Hero: A bathrobe-clad oracle... and a rather grungy one, at that.
- Posthumous Character: He's long since passed on when Tribore and Quatro encounter his spirit on Krask.
- Special Person, Normal Name: "Tim Belts" certainly doesn't have quite the same oracular ring to it as names like Pythia, Dodona, or Trophonius,
does it?
