Stormy Weather
"In Stormy Weather's world, it's winter wonderland FOREVER!"
Voiced by: Geneviève Doang (FR), Mela Lee (EN) Foreign VAs
A villainess with weather manipulation powers. Her civilian self is Aurore Beauréal. Her Akuma is contained in her parasol. Total of Akumatizations: 4.
- Blow You Away: Her main form of attack is to create gusts of winds of hurricane strength, and even whole tornadoes.
- Came Back Strong: In "Stormy Weather 2", Stormy comes back with a vengeance and a massive power boost. Her powers now include "all the forces of nature". As a result, she's seen creating a volcano that's able to generate enough force to push the Earth out of its orbit. Ladybug notes during their battle that she's far stronger than she was the first time around.note
- Driven by Envy: She's incredibly jealous of Mireille for beating her, to the point that she can't stand to see her face and destroys everything with Mireille's picture on it, though the Akuma probably contributes to her anger.
- Dub Name Change: Climatika in the original French version.
- Elegant Gothic Lolita: Her look is inspired by this fashion trend, with a purple, gray, and black color scheme, a Parasol of Pain, and a puffy-sleeved knee-high dress with tights.
- Flight: Her control over air currents grants her the power of flying, at least as long she holds her parasol.
- An Ice Person: Among her weather-themed powers is creating large walls of ice and making huge hails rain.
- Joke Character: What Chloé sees her as. This leads her to try and freeze everyone on Earth to death.
- Killed Offscreen: Well, more like defeated offscreen; in "Stormy Weather 2", her defeat takes place entirely offscreen, with it being partly narrated on the news.
- Omnicidal Maniac: In her second titular episode, she wants to knock the Earth out of orbit in order to kill everyone and prove her strength.
- Parasol of Pain: She uses her parasol to summon all sorts of meteorological phenomena.
- Steven Ulysses Perhero: Figures that "Aurore Beauréal" would want to be a weather forecaster, never mind become a weather-themed villain.
- Superpower Lottery: Given the sheer variety of weather at her disposal, she didn't do too shabbily for herself in this.
- Took a Level in Badass: Her powers have grown stronger in scale during her second titular episode.
- Weather Manipulation: Her powerset.
The Bubbler
"No more adults means total freedom! This is SOOO sweet!"
A villain with the power to create magical bubbles. His civilian self is Adrien's friend Nino Lahiffe. His Akuma is contained in his bubble wand.
- Adult Hater: He becomes this cause of Adrien's father not allowing him to have a birthday party.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: He has blue skin.
- Barrier Warrior: He can use his bubbles to trap people inside them.
- Beware the Silly Ones: It might be hard to take The Bubbler seriously, that is, until he starts trapping people inside bubbles and literally punting them into orbit.
- Happiness Is Mandatory: So says the Bubbler. He flips when people don't seem to have a good time at the party he throws, forcing them to continue pretending to be happy.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Bubbles, as it turns out, make for excellent mass kidnapping tools.
- Improbable Weapon User: His weapon is a giant bubble blower.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He wants his best friend to have a nice birthday party for once... so he traps all the adults in Paris inside his magic bubbles, hangs said bubbles in the sky, and then kidnaps a bunch of teenagers and organizes a hostage birthday party.
Copycat
"I love you, Ladybug! I'm way better than this mangy alley cat!"
Voiced by: Franck Tordjman and Martial Le Minoux (FR, first and second voice, respectively), Brian Beacock (EN) Foreign VAs
A villain with the power to impersonate Cat Noir. His civilian self is Théo Barbot. His Akuma is contained in a newspaper article about Ladybug that Théo used as inspiration for his sculpture.
- Bluff the Impostor: Since Cat Noir claimed he and Ladybug were an item to Théo, this is used to trick him into revealing himself when Ladybug has trouble telling them apart at first.
- Clone by Conversion: Théo becomes one for Cat Noir as an akumatized villain.
- Criminal Doppelgänger: Justified example, since Hawk Moth transformed him that way on purpose.
- Dub Name Change: L'Imposteur (The Impersonator) in the original French version.
- Entitled to Have You: Has shades of this towards Ladybug even before he gets akumatized.
- Evil Knockoff: The first of two in the first season, the second being Antibug. He even has a (possibly weaker) version of Cat Noir's Cataclysm.
- Fearful Symmetry: He eventually ends up in a fight with Cat Noir, whose appearance he copied, resulting in this trope.
- Frame-Up: He steals the Mona Lisa disguised as Cat Noir, which sends the entire Paris Police force after the real Cat.
- Green-Eyed Monster: He's terribly jealous of Cat Noir because he gets to be by Ladybug's side... and also because Cat pulled Théo's leg and convinced him that he was dating Ladybug.
- If I Can't Have You…: Says this verbatim when he understands that Ladybug doesn't want to have anything to do with him.
- Imposter Forgot One Detail: He can perfectly mimic Cat Noir's appearance and powers, but his trap for Cat Noir causes Cat Noir's ring to start losing power and thus their timers are no longer in sync. This gives him away during the second mix-up when Ladybug checks the real Cat Noir's ring, which has less pads than Copycat's.
- Kill and Replace: He wants to get rid of Cat Noir and take his place as Ladybug's boyfriend.
- Not Good with Rejection: He attacks Ladybug as soon as she rejects his love confession.
- Oral Fixation: Théo keeps a lollipop stick in his mouth. Leaving it behind when he steals the Mona Lisa clues Cat Noir onto his identity.
- Punny Name: Copycat, Cat Noir, get it?
- Technicolor Eyes: Obviously, since he's a perfect physical copy of Cat Noir, who also has these.
- Voices Are Not Mental: Théo even has Cat Noir's voice as Copycat.
- Yandere: By his own words, if he can't have Ladybug, then he won't let anyone else have her.
Timebreaker
"Oh, wow, six minutes in one go! Must have been those nine lives. Gotta go! The past is waiting."
A villainess who can travel back in time by absorbing the life energies of people around her. Her civilian self is Alix Kubdel, one of Marinette's classmates. Her Akuma is contained in one of her rollerskates. Total of Akumatizations: 3 (4 if counting time travel shenanigans).
- Cool, but Inefficient: In a similar way as Reflekta, below: Timebreaker's primary means of attacking is a One-Hit Kill, but destroys the Miraculous along with everything else (and even worse, unlike the Reflekta example she doesn't seem to have other powers like Super-Strength). She would be perfect if Hawk Moth's intention was to kill Ladybug and Cat Noir, but since what he actually wants is the Miraculous she's less than useful.
- Dub Name Change: Chronogirl in the original French version.
- Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Her supervillain outfit of hers is skin-tight.
- Fantasy Helmet Enforcement: Even villains need safety gear, kids!
- Fragile Speedster: She's incredibly fast, but Ladybug easily throws her around. Her time-stopping abilities make up for any lack of physical strength.
- Hero Killer: The Timebreaker from the future first accumulated enough power to Time Travel after stealing the energy from Cat Noir (who had gotten in her way to save Ladybug). Going back in time allowed Ladybug to prevent this from happening though.
- Rollerblade Good: They also allow her to time-travel, provided she's charged them with enough stolen time.
- Shout-Out: Her watch has the same activation sound effect as the Omnitrix.
- Slasher Smile: She loves giving disturbing grins.
- Temporal Duplication: Thanks to some temporal shenanigans, there ends up being two of her.
- Time Master: She can steal other people's time by touching them, and then go back in time the amount of minutes she's stolen.
- Touch of Death: One touch allows her to steal the time from anyone, causing them to fade from existence.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: She tricks Rose by pretending to be injured, and then steals her energy to power herself up.
Lady Wifi
"Alya's been disconnected. I'm Lady Wifi."
A villainess who can use her smartphone to teleport and pause and stop people. Her main goal is exposing who Ladybug is. Her civilian self is Alya Césaire, Marinette's best friend. Her Akuma is contained in her phone. Total of Akumatizations: 4 (1 off-screen).
- The Chessmaster: She is able to play Ladybug and Cat Noir like puppets. She tricks them into following her and then locking the door to separate them. Had it not been for Ladybug's mask having magical adhesive, she would have also successfully unmasked the hero. She also is able to make Ladybug use her Lucky Charm by trapping Cat Noir in the freezer.
- Clark Kenting: Despite her disguise being just a Domino Mask, Marinette only gets the hint when she sees the distinctive ladybug charm on her phone. Never mind the familiar hair dye and forehead mole.
- Do Not Adjust Your Set: Her "video" runes hijack all nearby screens, and can create a large projection screen in the sky.
- Eye Colour Change: Alya's hazel eyes are changed to red-violet as Lady Wifi.
- Failed a Spot Check: She believes Chloé (currently dressed as Ladybug) to be Ladybug and unmasks her to the public, completely missing that her hair and eye color are wrong. It isn't until the real Ladybug shows up that she realizes her mistake. Then again, she also never realizes the superhero she follows obsessively has the exact same hairstyle, color and eyes as her best friend either.
- Flight: While under the Puppeteer's control, she demonstrates the ability to fly around using a "fast-forward" rune.
- Flipping the Bird: She sends a left-handed salute, which is an insulting gesture.
- Instant Runes: Most of her powers manifest as floating pink icons projected from her smartphone.
- The Leader: She becomes this for the Punisher Trio and the Gang of Secrets.
- Logical Weakness: She gets her powers from Wi-Fi signal, so when the reception is low, she loses most of her superhuman skills. She still proves strong enough to overpower Cat Noir in a straight fight. In "Félix" however, she doesn't have this problem anymore, due to a satellite connection.
- Near-Villain Victory: In her titular episode she manages to freeze both of Ladybug's hands to the wall and traps Cat Noir in a freezing room and (unknowingly) knocks out his Miraculous from his hand, however she's unable to demask Ladybug as her mask is magic. Had she known that she only needed to take off her Miraculous in order to depower her, she would've won.
- The Paralyzer: She can paralyze people with her phone, either completely or just parts of their body (like their hands).
- Sensual Spandex: Her costume is very shiny and skin-tight.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: She has red-violet eyes, and is an Akuma villain working for Hawk Moth.
- Supernatural Phone: Her phone has the power to control reality to a degree, including: pausing people, locking doors or people in place, Telephone Teleport, setting up cameras, or Super-Speed.
- Telephone Teleport: She can travel through Wi-Fi, teleporting herself from one phone to other.
- Time Stands Still: Her "stop" and "pause" runes freeze whatever they hit.
- Took a Level in Badass: In "Félix", her Wi-Fi connection is now hooked up to a satellite, meaning reception is no longer an issue for her.
Mr. Pigeon
Rrooo rolooo!
Voiced by: Franck Tordjman (FR), Todd Haberkorn (EN) Foreign VAs
A pigeon-loving villain who can make pigeons do his bidding. His civilian self is Xavier Ramier, a man enraged that the Parisian police won't let him feed the pigeons in the park. His Akuma is contained in his whistle. Total of Akumatizations: 73 (majority off-screen).
- The Beastmaster: He can control pigeons. Loads and loads of pigeons. Enough pigeons to lift the Eiffel Tower into the sky.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Quite possibly the most ridiculous villain in the series so far, but no less dangerous than the others. In season 4, his upgraded powers are so dangerous that Ladybug has to spend the entire battle locked in a bathroom, using Rena Rouge's illusions and Plagg (separated from Adrien) to snag the whistle while Mr. Pigeon is distracted by the former's illusions.
- Breakout Villain: Like Mime, Mr. Pigeon survived multiple concept changes to make it into the final version, and as a quite prominent character at that.
- Clone by Conversion: His season 4 incarnation gives his pigeons the power to turn others into pigeons through physical contact.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Mr. Ramier himself sometimes pretends to be a pigeon. After getting Akumatized, that trait becomes exaggerated.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He's genuinely fond of his pigeons.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: A villain whose power allows him to control pigeons doesn't sound very scary, but he is able to do some genuinely impressive things with just that. Among other things, he can fly and lift extremely heavy objects through Synchronized Swarming. As a video game character in "Gamer 2.0", he is a Lethal Joke Character when Cat Noir is controlling him. His season 4 self is even more powerful thanks to an upgrade, threatening to turn everyone into pigeons.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: While Ladybug and Cat Noir's first battle against him was an impressive high-stakes fight like with most other villains, by the time he gets akumatized for the 24th time in "Timetagger", the heroes activate their powers half-heartedly and take him down in less than 10 seconds. Even the observing crowd doesn’t seem to be scared of him. And Ladybug comments that they beat him quickly all the previous times they fought him, too.
- Road Apples: His strategy to convince Ladybug and Cat Noir to hand over their Miraculous? Trap them in a birdcage and order his pigeons to poop on them until they surrender. Ew.
- Speaks Fluent Animal: He usually relies on his whistle to give orders, but he can still understand what his pigeons are saying.
- Synchronized Swarming: He can have his pigeons form various shapes, like planes.
- Took a Level in Badass:
- In season 4, Shadow Moth upgrades his power so his pigeons turn people into pigeons on contact.
- Season 5 only features him briefly, but he’s shown to have such control over the pigeons that they construct a giant body around him (though this may be due to a Miraculous power).
The Pharaoh
"Oh, Ra, god of the sun, accept this humble offering and return the princess to me!"
Voiced by: Franck Tordjman (FR), Vic Mignogna (season 1), Alejandro Saab (later seasons) (EN) Foreign VAs
A villain who can summon the powers of Egyptian gods. His civilian self is Jalil Kubdel. His Akuma is contained in his necklace. In his second iteration, the Akuma is on his folder. Total of Akumatizations: 4.
- Barrier Warrior: In "Reunion" he receives the power of the Turtle Miraculous, which he uses to shield his akumatized object from being broken.
- Came Back Strong: His season 5 incarnation not only has access to a new power: the Book of Truth, which traps all the people who answers its questions wrong, but also has access to unlimited Shel-Ters in order to protect his akumatized object.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
- His first motivation is to bring back his deceased Queen.
- In his second appearance he willingly gets himself akumatized out of a belief that Ladybug manipulated his sister into becoming Bunnyx indefinitely to hide from Monarch. His plan is to force Ladybug to bring Alix back so he can save her.
- Eye Beams: His Anubis mask fires beams to turn people into mummies.
- Fake Memories: Unlike most akumatized villains, who are motivated by the desires and memories of their civilian selves, Jalil is given an entirely new identity and memories when he's akumatized, believing himself to be the reincarnation of a Pharaoh and thiking he's fought a Ladybug Miraculous wielder in the past, even though his civilian identity is just a historian working at a museum.
- Flight: When channeling Horus.
- Human Sacrifice: His plan involves sacrificing Alya to resurrect his Queen.
- Living Lie Detector: In his appearance in season 5, Monarch grants him the power to reveal lies through the Book of Truth. While this power is mostly used to trap people who answer its questions wrong, it ultimately ends up backfiring on Monarch because the book honestly answers that Ladybug and Cat Noir are the heroes they claim to be, allowing Jalil to reject the akuma.
- Mask of Power: He switches between different masks, each corresponding to an ancient Egyptian deity, that allow him to channel the power of said gods.
- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Does the Pharaoh's resurrection ritual really work, like Jalil theorized, or was it just Hawk Moth's power? Or a combination of both, given that Ladybug has supposedly thwarted it before? It's never made clear.
- Monochromatic Eyes: When akumatized, his eyes become solidly colored.
- Mummy Wrap: His Anubis mask grants him the power to turn people into mummies.
- Nepharious Pharaoh: Believes himself to be the reincarnation of an ancient Pharaoh.
- Not Brainwashed: In "Reunion", he willingly summons Monarch to akumatize him in order to bring back his sister in the present time.
- Only the Pure of Heart: The only candidates for his resurrection ritual are pure souls.
- Physical God: Literally, given his Egyptian-god motif and related abilities.
- Sadly Mythtaken: There are a lot of liberties taken on the Egyptian myths that power him up, like Thoth granting him Time Master abilities when he was just a writing and knowledge deity.
- Sculpted Physique: He looks like a basalt sculpture.
- Seeks Another's Resurrection: He wants to resurrect his beloved Queen.
- Shockwave Clap: He does this against Ladybug and Cat Noir using his Sekhmet mask.
- Super Power Lottery: A sure winner among the Villains of the Week. He was granted the power of numerous Egyptian gods. Beaten only because of sheer luck. Though considering the heroes' powersets, this is not an illegitimate way to win. He wins the "superpowers lottery" once again when he's reakumatized in "Reunion" by gaining access to a Living Lie Detector in the form of the Book of Truth and the Turtle Miraculous power through his Alliance Ring.
- Super-Strength: When channeling Sekhmet, he can bend steel bars.
- Time Stands Still: His Thoth mask creates bubbles which cause those within to slow to a crawl.
- Unknown Rival: Ladybug is completely unaware that the Pharaoh considers her his nemesis.
Rogercop
"Mayor, you're under arrest for abuse of power."
A villain who turns into a robotic police officer. His civilian self is Officer Roger Raincomprix, Sabrina's father. His Akuma is contained in his whistle. Total of Akumatizations: 7 (3 off-screen).
- Corrupted Character Copy: He's basically RoboCop, and is even named that in the Korean dub, but far more unhinged and self-righteous.
- Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: At the very least he looks and acts this way, even if it's not clear if he's actually a robot in any way.
- Dub Name Change: In the Korean version, Roger's villain name is Robocop.
- Energy Weapon: He can shoot laser beams from his gauntlets.
- Flying Car: His method of transportation.
- Incredibly Obvious Bug: The tracking device that Rogercop attaches to the mayor's car is fairly small, but has a blinking light on it.
- Knight Templar: While more benign than a lot of other examples out there, he's nonetheless a self-appointed judge and jury who ultimately desires to overhaul Paris's entire legal system.
- Laser-Guided Karma: He metes out punishments that match the crime. A woman who litters is forced to pick up trash, and the Mayor who abused his authority is forced to cede it.
- People Puppets: He can control people's bodies, but not their minds, by shooting them with his laser handcuffs.
- Rage Against the Legal System: Completely overhauls the Parisian police system with his own brand of justice in retaliation for being unjustly fired. The local cops just go along with it. Then again, if he could control their bodies, it was that, or be made to do it whether they liked it or not.
- Revenge: He is out to get revenge on Mayor Bourgeois for firing him unjustly.
- Robo Cam: The shots from his point of view are like this — he is in a robotic supersuit, after all.
- Robo Speak: Talks in a monotone, robotic voice, even when he's laughing. "Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha."
- Super Cop: A villainous example. He's a police officer turned into a cyborg supervillain who's out to enforce his idea of justice onto the citizenry with brute force.
- Villain Has a Point: While he's not exactly on the up-and-up, he's right to say that Mayor Bourgeois has been abusing his power.
The Evillustrator
"Sadly, those who get in my way get erased."
Voiced by: Franck Tordjman (FR), Michael Sinterniklaas (EN) Foreign VAs
A villain who can bring his art to the real world. His civilian self is Nathaniel, one of Marinette's classmates. His Akuma is contained in his pen. Total of Akumatizations: 5 (4 off-screen).
- Affably Evil: Evillustrator is downright nice as far as akumatized villains go: rather than using his powers to terrorize innocent people and reveling in his newfound evilness as other akumatized villains are wont to do, Evillustrator originally only wants to hurt Chloé, who had humiliated him. Once Marinette offers to go on a date with him to distract him, in exchange for him not hurting Chloé, Evillustrator accepts her offer and spares Chloé, uses his powers to create a perfect romantic setting, and carries on a civil conversation with Marinette. It's only when he realizes he's been duped that he snaps and becomes your standard evil villain.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: He has light purple skin.
- Anime Hair: He has big, crazy, multicolored hair.
- Anti-Villain: Evillustrator only wants to get revenge on Chloé for humiliating him and date Marinette, and he uses no lethal force until Marinette betrays him.
- Art Attacker: His powerset.
- Art Initiates Life: His main ability. He can turn his drawings into real, moving objects.
- Deathbringer the Adorable: Despite the name, he's among the nicest villains in the show, if not the nicest.
- Dub Name Change: In the French version he's known as the Illustrator/Artist.
- Et Tu, Brute?: His reaction when Marinette steals his stylus and reveals that she was helping Cat Noir try to catch him.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Evillustrator tells Ladybug and Cat Noir that if they knew what Chloé was really like, they wouldn’t be lifting a finger to save her. Little does he know they do know what a jerk she is, especially Ladybug, who is bullied by Chloé in her secret identity, but they try to save her, anyway.
- Evil Redhead: Most of his hair is orange, and he’s a minion of Hawk Moth.
- I Gave My Word: When Marinette agrees to date him if he stops trying to hurt Chloé, he fully intends to keep his promise, and only goes back on his word after Marinette double-crosses him.
- Logical Weakness: As a villain who draws things into existence, he needs a decent light source to draw properly. When deprived of that, he's powerless.
- Love Makes You Evil: He became the Evillustrator as a result of being mocked about his one-sided crush on Marinette.
- Minion with an F in Evil: All he wants is to get revenge on Chloé for being a bully, and date Marinette, and he's perfectly willing to give up on his revenge plan when Marinette asks him to.
- Reality Warper: Can draw anything into, or erase anything out of, existence.
- A Sinister Clue: He is left-handed. Especially noticeable since his civilian self is right-handed.
- Stalker with a Crush: He enters Marinette's room without her permission to ask her on a date.
- Stalker without a Crush: He pursues Chloé first, intent on using his powers to humiliate her after she did the same to him. As soon as he's immobilized Cat Noir and Marinette, he goes straight to her home to kill her.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: Unlike the other akumatized villains he has no villainous agenda other than getting revenge on Chloé, which he quickly drops once Marinette asks him to. However, once he finds out that Marinette only agreed to the date to help Cat Noir get his Akuma, he promptly gives up on trying to be good for her and continues his Roaring Rampage of Revenge on Chloé.
- Villainous Crush: After transforming into the Evillustrator, he almost immediately asks Marinette on a date. He even puts off attempting to get the Miraculous because he's so focused on spending time with her.
- Villain Has a Point: He was completely right when he said Chloé is cruel and selfish.
- Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: One has to wonder why he resorted to attacking Chloé with buzzsaws when he could've just straight-up erased her from existence on the spot.
- Woman Scorned: Gender-inversion. Evillustrator becomes much more dangerous when he sees that Marinette only went on a date with him to help Cat Noir defeat him.
- You Monster!: Played for Laughs. Chloé calls him a monster when he erases some of her stuff to find her.
Dark Cupid/Dark Humor
"No love affair or friendship will escape my fury. No one will ever love again!" (click hereto see Dark Humor.)
A villain who can shoot arrows that make people hate love. His civilian self is Kim, one of Marinette's classmates. His Akuma is contained in his brooch. Total of Akumatizations: 3.
- Abnormal Ammo: His iteration shoots arrows that turn people's feelings of love and friendship into hate, while his second iteration shoots arrows infused with Uproar that make people go rogue in order to have them attempt to pull off dangerous pranks and also cancels out Miraculous holders' powers.
- Bottomless Magazines: He shoots people all around Paris, but never runs out of arrows. This might be justified as one of his powers. But on the other hand, he remarks that he shouldn't waste an arrow on Chloé, so it's possible he does have a limited number of arrows in his quill.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: As Dark Humor he brainwashes other people to act crazy in order to make them pull pranks that disregard other people's safety.
- Costume Evolution: His reappearance as Dark Humor has an updated outfit. The red and black parts on some parts of his costume are inverted with some borders given a gradient effect between the two.
- Deadly Prank: Invoked by him as Dark Humor; his arrows brainwash people hit by them to pull pranks without any regard for other people's safety.
- Dub Name Change: Known as Heartbreaker in the French version.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Even while akumatized, he is appalled by Chloé's It's All About Me mentality.
- Evil Knockoff: His second iteration, Dark Humor, is this to his own hero form, King Monkey, after receiving the power of his own Miraculous through his Alliance Ring.
- Fallen Cupid: As his name would imply, he is a Fallen Angel-esque villain that uses his arrows to induce hatred and is the antagonist of the Valentine's Day Episode.
- Hate Plague: His arrows have the power to turn people's feelings of love and friendship into hate.
- The Heavy: He's a big part of Hawk Moth's plans in "Mayura", as it's his ability to infect cured civilians with negative emotions that lets Hawk Moth reakumatize them almost immediately and even plays a role in Rena Rogue, Carapace, and Queen Bee's Akumatizations.
- Hypocrite: The first time he got akumatized was cause of Chloé pulling a cruel prank on him after he confessed his feelings to her, however the third time he gets akumatized was cause of Ondine and Adrien scolding him for pulling a cruel prank on Marinette after she confessed her feelings to him. Not to mention when Ladybug tricked him with a prank, he didn't find it funny when it was on him.
- Love Makes You Evil: Became evil in the first place due to Chloé's brutal rejection of his feelings.
- Marked Change: Victims of his arrows gain black lipstick.
- Not Worth Killing: When he finally catches up to Chloé, he decides against shooting her, as someone as mean as her likely wouldn't be any different. He did get Sabrina, though, so Chloé got some comeuppance.
- Power Incontinence: Just like King Monkey, his second iteration, Dark Humor, can nullify other Miraculous holders' powers thanks to receiving the power of the Monkey Miraculous through his Alliance Ring, as he did with Cat Noir's Cataclysm and Ladybug's first Lucky Charm in "Derision".
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: Because he's a corruption of the normal intent of Valentine's Day, he has this colour scheme.
- Something about a Rose: Upon closer inspection, the heads of his arrows are shaped like black and red roses.
- Trick Arrow: His arrowheads are shaped like roses. When he's Dark Humor, the arrowheads are instead variously-shaped like objects that are comedic staples, like a banana, or an anvil.
- Winged Humanoid: Fitting with the Cupid motif, he has large black wings which let him fly around.
- Woman Scorned: Gender-inversion. His rejection by Chloé is the catalyst for Kim turning into Dark Cupid.
Horrificator
Ladybug: "Did you see how it just left Ivan alone?"
Cat Noir: "Yeah, what's that all about?"
Ladybug: "*gasps* I think the monster... is Mylène!"
Cat Noir: "Yeah, what's that all about?"
Ladybug: "*gasps* I think the monster... is Mylène!"
Voiced by: Jessie Lambotte (FR), Jessica Gee (EN) Foreign VAs
A monstrous villain who kidnaps people and leaves behind trails of slime and gunk, growing stronger through fear. Her civilian self is Mylène, one of Marinette's classmates. Her Akuma is contained in a pin on her bandana. Total of Akumatizations: 3.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: Horrificator spares Ivan for his earlier sympathy toward a frightened Mylène.
- The Brute: She's regarded as the muscle of the titular "Gang of Secrets".
- Emotion Eater: She feeds on fear, though conversely she is weakened when her victims show no fear.
- Extra Eyes: She has a third eye in her forehead.
- I'm Not Afraid of You: The key to defeating her. She grows stronger the more she's feared, and shrinks when someone reacts to her with fascination or joy.
- Make My Monster Grow: Her size increases as she gets more powerful.
- Morphic Resonance: Despite her inhuman appearance, the tentacles on Horrificator's head are in the same shape as Mylène's dreadlocks.
- People Jars: She seals her victims in gooey capsules.
- Prehensile Tail: Her long tail is strong enough to snatch and carry several humans.
- The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female giant villain in Scarlet Moth's army.
- The Speechless: She never speaks, only growls. Due to her monstrous appearance, it can be assumed that this is because she is unable to speak.
- Super Spit: She can spit huge amounts of a bright pink goo that hardens almost instantly, which she uses to immobilize her victims.
- Took a Level in Badass: When she is reakumatized as part of the Gang of Secrets, she consumes enough fear to turn into a kaiju.
Darkblade
"PAR LE FER!"
Voiced by: Thierry Kazazian (FR), Joe Fria (EN) Foreign VAs
A villain who can turn those he knights into mindless knight minions. His civilian self is Armand D'Argencourt, Adrien's fencing instructor, who unsuccessfully campaigned for mayor and had his past used against him. His Akuma is contained in his sword. Total of Akumatizations: 2.
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: His sword cuts through anything but the weapons of the Miraculous holders, probably because they're magical.
- Black Knight: Both he and his ancestor share this motif.
- Dub Name Change: Chevalier NoirTranslation in the French version.
- Legacy Character: After being akumatized, he becomes the second Darkblade in his family and follows in the first Darkblade's footsteps.
- Magic Knight: Is a master swordsman as well as something of a Sorcerous Overlord (especially when he finally plants his flag atop City Hall).
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: "Darkblade" was apparently the name of his ancestor. And according to D'Argencourt, he was definitely quite the badass, conquering and ruling Paris with an iron fist at one point in history.
- Reality Warper: Can transform people into knights, objects into medieval weapons, etc. Not to mention, of course, his eventual World-Wrecking Wave (see below).
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: He wears a black armor with a few red linings.
- Slave Mooks: Using his sword, he can brainwash civilians into kneeling before him. Knighting them transforms them into axe-wielding soldiers in plate armor. Doing the same to a pair of cars turns them into trebuchets.
- Tin Tyrant: Attempted to take over Paris and continue his ancestor's legacy, all while clad in a dark suit of armor.
- World-Wrecking Wave: When he plants his flag on City Hall, it surrounds the city in a slowly collapsing barrier that transforms everyone it touches into knights.
Mime
A mime whose pantomimes reflect in reality. His civilian self is Fred Haprèle. His Akuma is in a picture of his daughter, which is his Good Luck Charm. Total of Akumatizations: 4.
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: His pantomime blade can slice the Eiffel Tower and even the screen.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is a pale purple.
- Berserk Button: Seeing posters for the play he was supposed to star in. Whenever he sees one, he’ll immediately destroy it. Ladybug uses this against him.
- Breakout Villain: He was one of the few villains from the original concept for the series that was deemed popular enough to not only transition into the main series but had a character modeled after him in the Quantum Kids lineup, known as Kid Mime. He's also featured as a minor antagonist in The Movie. Unlike fellow original concept villain Mr. Pigeon, Mime's appeared in many fewer episodes.
- Beware the Quiet Ones: He never speaks, but he is deadly.
- Enemy Mime: He's a mime-themed Akuma victim out to get Ladybug and Cat Noir.
- Load-Bearing Hero: In a rare case of a villain doing this, Ladybug tricks him into cutting down the Eiffel Tower, which he then has to protect himself from by miming strength to lift the tower up. Since he can't create anything else, Ladybug is able to easily take his Akuma.
- Rage Against the Reflection: He attacks any and all posters of his mime act. Ladybug actually exploits this in order to beat him.
- Silent Antagonist: Unlike most of the other villains, he doesn't talk and only does what Hawk Moth orders him to (although he lets out a small groan when blocking the falling Eiffel Tower). Justified, as he's based on a mime.
- Superpower Lottery: The seemingly limitless variety of things that he can create via Your Mime Makes It Real practically makes him a Reality Warper, and his creations' invisibility gives him something of an unpredictability advantage as well. The only real catch is that he can only have one creation at a time. This is pretty much the only reason the heroes were able to beat him.
- Your Mime Makes It Real: He can make anything, from swords to bazookas to working vehicles. The catch is that he can only make one at a time, and any he previously created ceases to be.
Kung Food
"Bwahaha! You have eaten my soup, you become my servants!"
Voiced by: Philippe Roullier (FR), Todd Haberkorn (EN) Foreign VAs
An evil martial artist and chef who can summon food-based weapons. His civilian self is Marinette's uncle Wang Cheng, an accomplished chef who had his dish sabotaged during a cooking contest. His Akuma is in his toque.
- Acrofatic: He's on the heavier side, but still an agile Kung Fu fighter.
- Anime Hair: It actually looks just like Goku's hair.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: He has dull purple skin.
- Bag of Holding: He can pull out all sorts of weapons and items from his bag.
- BFS: His pepperoni pizza sword would make Cloud Strife proud.
- Bilingual Bonus: The Chinese character on his jacket and bag (餐) means "dining".
- Chef of Iron: He and his minions fight using food as weapons.
- Edible Bludgeon: His weapons and those of his minions' — a mace made out of seafood, a whip made out of sausages, a crossbow made out of cheese, a bow and arrow made out of desserts, tonfas made out of sushi, and a BFS made out of pepperoni pizza.
- Evil Chef: Trying to cook a young girl alive is bad, even if said girl is Chloé.
- Food Chains: The four judges that ate his ruined soup prior to him being akumatized are brought under his control as minions.
- A Handful for an Eye: He blows spices into Cat Noir's face to distract him.
- I'm a Humanitarian: The ingredients of his special stew include potatoes, spices, and Chloé Bourgeois.
- Shout-Out: His appearance brings to mind an iconic anime hero who is actually based on the Chinese legend Sun Wukong. Also, his pizza sword is shaped exactly like the Buster Sword.
- Sinister Surveillance: He has control over winged egg surveillance drones that he uses to spy on the heroes from the roof of Le Grand Paris.
Gamer/Gamer 2.0
"My calculations indicate that your system's about to crash!"
A mecha-piloting gamer whose game is to destroy Paris. His civilian self is Max Kanté, one of Marinette's classmates. His Akuma is contained in his glasses. Total of Akumatizations: 4 (1 off-screen).
- All Your Powers Combined: After the PvP matches are done, Gamer 2.0 fights Ladybug directly, seemingly able to access the forms of the akumatized villains he kidnapped as well as their powers.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is purple.
- Cap: The robots have only four levels.
- Cyber Green: Gamer wears a black-and-bright-green bodysuit and his constructs exclusively use a palette consisting of black and bright greens, as befitting a technology-based villain.
- Eye Beams: His beams are fired from the eye on the pyramid.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears a pair of green, butterfly-shaped glasses, and is one of Hawk Moth's thralls.
- Graceful Loser: In "Gamer 2.0", once Ladybug defeats him in a fighting game tournament, he voluntarily surrenders his Akuma.
- Humongous Mecha: Once he's gained enough points to evolve twice, his robot becomes a giant mecha.
- Killer Game Master: Gamer 2.0 creates a video game fighting tournament by capturing all previous akumatized villains and then using them against Ladybug and Cat Noir in a real-life versus match, with Gamer presiding over the game.
- Pyramid Power: He travels around in a pyramid which shoots lasers, later serving as the head of his mecha. His Akumatization in "Gamer 2.0" also transforms the local football stadium into a massive pyramid.
- Rewarding Vandalism: His pyramid beams are essentially this as applied to real life. Every civilian he zaps is worth a point. Cars and such are worth several. Once he gains enough points, his robot evolves, first gaining legs then becoming a Humongous Mecha.
- This Is a Drill: One of his mecha's attacks is to use the giant pyramid that makes up its head as a drill.
Animan
"I think I'm higher on the food chain."
Voiced by: Éric Peter (FR), Paul St. Peter (EN)Foreign VAs
A former zookeeper named Otis Césaire who is now a shapeshifter that seeks revenge on Kim for mocking his prized panther. His Akuma is in his bracelet. Total of Akumatizations: 2.
- Animorphism: As an akumatized villain, he's turned into a Talking Animal.
- Bears Are Bad News: He briefly shapeshifts into a brown bear to fight Cat Noir, and knocks him out in one swipe.
- The Beastmaster: He can command animals to do his bidding.
- Felony Misdemeanor: His reason for becoming an Akumatized villain and trying to maul Kim to death? He mocked his panther.
- Panthera Awesome: His main form is a black panther.
- Revenge: He tries to hunt down Kim for making fun of the panther at the zoo.
- Shapeshifting: He can become any animal, living or extinct.
- Technicolor Eyes: His purple eyes indicate that he is an Akuma victim, and distinguish him from the "normal" animals.
- Threatening Shark: He becomes one during the sewer fight in "Mayura".
- Who's Laughing Now?: He taunts Kim in this manner after finally cornering him on a bridge.
Vanisher
Voiced by: Marie Nonnenmacher (FR), Marieve Herington (Season 1), Lauren Landa (Season 5) (EN) Foreign VAs
Chloé's friend Sabrina, turned invisible to get revenge on Chloé. Her Akuma is in her brooch. Total of Akumatizations: 3.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Her skin is shown to be purple.
- Boring, but Practical: Compared to some of the other villains, just being invisible isn't very flashy compared to say, Voluntary Shapeshifting and People Puppets. But she still came a lot closer to stealing Ladybug's earrings than some other villains have.
- Came Back Strong: Downplayed when she returns in "Adoration". While she retains the same powerset, she now has the ability to make herself visible at will, when before she was always invisible unless Hawk Moth spoke to her. She's also able in this episode to summon objects she has touched previously in order to use as weapons thanks to the power of Fetch she received via Alliance.
- Curtains Match the Window: She has purple hair and purple eyes.
- Disc-One Final Boss: She's defeated halfway through her first episode to make way for the true Villain of the Week, Antibug.
- Dub Name Change:
- Evil Knockoff: In "Adoration" she becomes one to her own hero form, Miss Hound, after receiving the power of her own Miraculous through her Alliance Ring.
- Evil Is Petty:
- Before Ladybug and Cat Noir show up, she uses her invisibility to hilariously humiliate Chloé.
- In her third appearance, she uses her powers to frame Marinette for stealing at Chloé's behest, and Monarch even akumatized her for that reason.
- Frame-Up: In "Adoration" she participates in a plot to frame Marinette for the theft of various items with Chloé and Lila.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: She wears the same glasses as her civilian self. When she's re-akumatized during "Heroes' Day", they're her akumatized object.
- Invisibility: Her power, which only slips when Hawk Moth communicates with her. By her third appearance, she can render herself visible if she chooses.
- Invisible Jerkass:
- In Antibug, before Ladybug and Cat Noir figure out what's going on, she just uses her powers to torment Chloé in petty ways.
- In "Adoration", she's willing to frame an innocent person of theft and even get them expelled just to keep her toxic friendship with Chloé alive.
- Red Herring: In "Antibug", which shouldn't be terribly surprising considering she is not the namesake of the episode.
- Satellite Character: She is the only akumatized villain (shown on screen at least) to not get an episode named after her, and serves more as the catalyst for Chloé's Akumatization than a villainess in her own right.
- However she does later on become the main villain of an episode in "Adoration".
- Summon to Hand: In "Adoration" she has the power to summon any object she has touched to her hand with a blow of her akumatized whistle thanks to the power of the Dog Miraculous transmitted via her Alliance Ring.
- Technicolor Eyes: Her eyes are purple.
- Teen Super Spy: In her second appearance during "Heroes' Day", Scarlet Moth sends Vanisher to follow Ladybug in the hopes of finding the location of the Guardian. Fortunately, Ladybug suspects her presence and is quick to defeat her.
- Villain Team-Up: A special case where, during her third Akumatization, she doesn't team up with other akumatized villains, but with Monarch's willing out-of-costume allies, Chloé and Lila, in order to help them frame Marinette for theft.
- Visible Invisibility: There's a light distortion wherever she moves, enough for the audience to see but not the characters.
Antibug
"There will only be one heroine in Paris: me, Antibug!"
Voiced by: Marie Chevalot (FR), Selah Victor (EN) Foreign VAs
The anti-Ladybug. Her civilian self is Chloé. Her Akuma is in her earrings. Total of Akumatizations: 3 (2 off-screen).
- BFS: Her Anti-Charm creates a massive sword. It doesn't do her much good, as Ladybug's Lucky Charm produces an item that trips her up and allows Cat Noir to disarm her.
- Blessed with Suck: Since he's an Evil Knockoff of Ladybug, she also has the same time limit after she uses "Anticharm".
- Boring, but Practical: Unlike Ladybug's "Lucky Charm" which always gives her a Lethal Joke Item, Antibug's "Anticharm" just straight up gives her a giant sword.
- Early Instalment Weirdness: She's the only one of Chloé's akumatizations that doesn't use a black and yellow colour scheme like all of her following forms do since this one is before she first uses the Bee Miraculous, which her other forms take influence from for their appearances.
- Calling Your Attacks: Anticharm!
- Evil Knockoff: She's Ladybug with an inverted color scheme and with a similar powerset.
- Killer Yo-Yo: Just like Ladybug's.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: Being Ladybug's evil counterpart, her outfit is black with red spots.
- True Final Boss: Takes over as the main threat of the episode once Vanisher is defeated.
- Variable-Length Chain: The string of her yo-yo can extend for as long as she wants.
The Puppeteer
(through Lady Wifi) No! I'm Puppeteer! And I want those dolls NOW!!!
Voiced by: Marie Nonnenmacher (FR), Stephanie Sheh (EN) Foreign VAs
A villain with the power to control others through dolls made in their likeness. Her civilian self is Manon, the little girl Marinette babysits on occasion. Her Akuma is in her toy wand. Total of Akumatizations: 2.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Her skin is purple.
- Bratty Half-Pint: The second youngest akumatized villain and is just as insane as the rest of them.
- Creepy Child: A corrupted 5-year-old who can control people through their respective doll. Dare say she's not creepy after reading that.
- Enfante Terrible: The first of many Akumatized villains to come who originated from a child.
- Magic Wand: Enchants her dolls by shooting a spell from her Akumatized wand.
- Near-Villain Victory: Despite literally being one of the most childish villains Hawk Moth has created, she comes within a hair's breadth of winning. It helps that, unlike most of his villains, she already wants to defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir.
- People Puppets: By enchanting a doll of her target, the Puppeteer is able to command their movements and speak through them. There is no known range limit.
- Power Floats: She floats around everywhere, probably because it would be hard to take a knee-high villain seriously otherwise.
- Super-Empowering: A quirk of her power is that any formerly Akumatized villains she controls get their powers back. She is able to revive Lady WiFi, the Evillustrator, and Rogercop in this fashion. During her second Akumatization, if she brings a statue of a person with superpowers to life, the statue will have the same powers as the real person.
- Superpower Lottery: Arguably the biggest winner yet. Her Villain Override is even more widespread than Hawk Moth's; her People Puppets consist of some of the stronger villains seen so far; and she can even control anyone, not just other villains, so long as she has a corresponding doll.
- Technicolor Eyes: She has purple sclerae.
Reflekta
"Take a good look at me, because I am your future face!"
Voiced by: Marie Nonnenmacher (FR), Erin Fitzgerald and Reba Buhr (EN, Season 1 and webisodes/Season 2 onwards, respectively) Foreign VAs
Reflekta wants the world to notice her, and she'll do it by making everyone look like her. Her civilian self is Juleka Couffaine, one of Marinette's classmates. Her Akuma is in the gem on her hand. Total of Akumatizations: 7.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: She has light pink skin with bright pink circles around around her eyes.
- Bright Is Not Good: She wears a bright pink outfit with white eye patterns, but she is working for Hawk Moth.
- Clone by Conversion: Her beams turn whoever they hit into a physical copy of herself, though still possessing their own mind and voices and lacking her powers. Her iteration in season 5 doesn't have this problem, slaving all the copies to the original.
- Cool, but Inefficient: Her only superpower (aside from strength and speed) is the ability to make everyone else look just like her. Using this power on Ladybug and Cat Noir however makes her unable to get their Miraculous. Funny, considering Hawk Moth gave her these powers for the sole purpose of doing that.
- Crippling Overspecialization: Her only attack is to convert people into copies of herself, which annoyed Hawk Moth when she converted Cat Noir and couldn't take his Miraculous as a result. Furthermore, since he's already converted, her beams do nothing to him on subsequent hits. Conversely, this also means Reflekta is immune to her own power.
- Disc-One Final Boss: She is the main antagonist for most of "Reflekdoll", but she is taken out at the 3/4 mark and the rampaging eponymous Sentimonster is the final problem of the episode.
- Evil Knockoff: In "Confrontation" she becomes one to her own hero form, Purple Tigress, after receiving the power of her own Miraculous through her Alliance Ring.
- Having a Blast: Her season 5 iteration is able of creating huge explosions thanks to receiving the power of the Tiger Miraculous via Alliance.
- Hive Mind: In "Confrontation", Monarch upgrades her powers so all her copies will think just like her.
- Impractically Fancy Outfit: She looks like a kabuki-themed clown in a rubber tutu and platform shoes. This doesn't hinder Reflekta nearly as much as it does for her clones because Power Floats.
- Megaton Punch: In "Confrontation", similar to her hero form Purple Tigress, she can use the power of Clout given to her by Monarch via Alliance to create huge explosions with her punches.
- Paper Fan of Doom: In "Confrontation", Reflekta's usual gem blaster is replaced with an endlessly-regenerating paper fan that she can throw at her victims to achieve the same effect.
- Revenge: In her first appearance, she wants revenge on Chloé for making her miss the class picture. Once she gets it by converting Chloé, she moves on to converting the entire town. In her second appearance, she targets Marinette's photo shoot for being denied the opportunity to be the model.
- Symbol Motif Clothing: Reflekta is covered in the pattern of an eye, not just on her outfit, but on her hair... or headdress.
- The Unfought: In "Guiltrip", the actual Reflekta (Juleka) does not fight the heroes at all, but her clones controlled by Guiltrip do.
- Ungrateful Bitch: In "Reflekdoll", she begs the heroes to save her when Reflekdoll is driven berserk by an errant Cataclysm, and then tries to attack them as soon as she's safe. Mister Bug immediately lampshades this, noting she could show a little more gratitude.
- Villainous Friendship: Downplayed. While she has no problem targeting Rose as an ordinary citizen, she works well with her as Princess Fragrance in "Gang of Secrets", combining their powers to take control of the school students and staff.
- Voices Are Mental: Even though the people she converts are exact physical duplicates, they retain their normal voices.
- Yandere: In "Reflekdoll", Juleka's love for Rose is warped into an obsession, and she spends a significant portion of her akumatization hunting after Rose specifically.
- Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: Her eyes are yellow and she is one of Hawk Moth's servants.
Guitar Villain
"ROCKIN' RIFF, BABY!!"
Voiced by: Matthew Géczy (FR), Lex Lang (EN) Foreign VAs
A rock-and-roller angry at the increasing popularity of "soulless" pop music, armed with a sonic guitar weapon and accompanied by his dragon sidekick Fang. His civilian self is rock star Jagged Stone, who's become increasingly frustrated at his record label's demands for him to be more like pop star XY. His Akuma is in his guitar. Total of Akumatizations: 6 (3 off-screen).
- Beard of Evil: He retains the same beard as his civilian self.
- Breath Weapon: As befitting a dragon, Fang can breathe green fire.
- Calling Your Attacks:"Rockin' Riff, Baby!"
"Awesome Solo!"
"Ultimate Solo!" - Earthquake Machine: His "Seismic Shock!"/"Ultimate Solo!" projects waves of sound that vibrate everything around him.
- Gale-Force Sound: His "Shocking Riff!"/"Awesome Solo!" fires a beam of sound from his guitar that can crack stone.
- Instrument of Murder: His guitar is the source of his power and his primary weapon, projecting various kinds of weaponized sound. He also uses it as a melee weapon against Cat Noir.
- Involuntary Dance: His primary attack on civilian victims is to make them dance against their will to his rock tunes.
- Large Ham: More flamboyant and hammy than even the standard villain of the week; justified of course since his civilian self is in the entertainment business.
- The Music Meister: His "Rockin' Riff, Baby!" forces people to dance and shout like they're at a rock and roll concert. This also works on animals and objects.
- Non-Human Sidekick: Jagged Stone's pet crocodile Fang gets Akumatized along with him, getting turned into a dragon at Guitar Villain's beck and call.
- The Power of Rock: Played with; while Guitar Villain's rock-and-roll powers make him another Villain of the Week, they do come about as a desire for Jagged Stone's personal creative freedom (which he wins back by the end of the episode).
- Punny Name: Take a wild guess.
- Revenge: He wants revenge against the pop singer XY for mocking his music.
- Scaled Up: Fang gets turned into a dragon.
Pixelator
"Photo finish."
Voiced by: Franck Tordjman (FR), Matthew Mercer (ENG) Foreign VAs
A villainous Camera Fiend who seeks to literally capture the image of his idol, Jagged Stone, even if he must capture all of Paris first. His civilian self is Vincent Aza, a freelance photographer. His Akuma is in his camera lens.
- Character Catchphrase: "Look into the lens!" ("Regarde l'objectif!", in French.) Doubles as (non-lethal) Pre-Mortem One-Liner.
- Dimension Lord: Has a Prison Dimension to hold his photographed victims. Cat Noir ends up having to invoke Reality Bleed via Cataclysm to free everyone.
- Dub Name Change: His original French name is Numeric or Digital.
- Eye Beams: His camera is a headset with a large lens over one eye, creating this effect whenever he zaps people.
- Intangibility: He can fire pixelating beams which cause whatever limb they hit to become intangible, though still attached to the person. He manages to get Ladybug's right arm and leg with this attack.
- Loony Fan: Unlike Vincent, Pixelator sees no issue with holding innocent people (and Stone's beloved crocodile Fang) hostage to coerce the rock star to pose for a perfect photograph.
- Phantom-Zone Picture: Whoever he snaps a picture of is transported to a very big White Void Room, contained in photographs on the wall of his apartment. Anyone who finds the photographs can see within.
Simon Says
"Simon Says the show is not over!"
Voiced by: Franck Tordjman (FR), Ezra Weisz (EN) Foreign VAs
A hypnotist whose power goes beyond mere suggestion, forcing those hit by his cards to obey all his commands. His civilian self is Simon Grimault, and his Akuma is in his deck of cards.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is pale periwinkle.
- Bald of Evil: Simon lacks his brown wavy hair in Akumatized form.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Anyone or anything hit by his cards is subject to whatever command he placed on the card beforehand. This ranges from becoming Slave Mooks to acting like animals.
- Death Dealer: He's able to throw his cards like knives with perfect accuracy.
- Dub Name Change: In the original French, he is Jackady, a play on "Jacques a dit", the French equivalent to Simon Says. For this reason, his civilian identity is named Jacques Grimault.
- Evil Is Petty: After taking Gabriel Agreste hostage, the first thing he does is brainwash him into acting like a butterfly. He follows this up by having him act like a plane, which would have led to Gabriel leaping to his death.
- Fashionable Asymmetry: Just look at his suit's coloration.
- Near-Villain Victory: He successfully brainwashes Gabriel, which almost (read: only stopped at the last second by the Miraculous Ladybug reset) results in him jumping off a building. Notably, he got so close that Gabriel doesn't even have the chance to do the traditional Hawk Moth defeat rant.
- Needle in a Stack of Needles: His Akuma is in one of his cards, kept in a deck of identical cards that are seemingly limitless. He even exploits this to distract Cat Noir when they first fight. Ladybug and Cat Noir eventually cut the knot by destroying the entire deck at once.
- Power Nullifier: He's able to break Ladybug's yo-yo by hitting it with a card designed to render it useless. Cat Noir prevented him from repeating the trick on his staff.
- Revenge: He wants revenge on Gabriel Agreste for rudely dismissing him on television before he could even perform his act. Considering how Gabriel treats everyone around him, it's hard not to root for him a little. It's even implied Gabriel did this on purpose to score another victim.
- Secondary Color Nemesis: He's green and purple all over.
- Slave Mooks: He uses his cards to turn dozens of people into soldiers under his command.
- Verbal Tic: Simon Says: that is indeed the case here.
Magician of Misfortune
A random, offscreen Villain of the Week who wants to make the Eiffel Tower vanish for some reason. His civilian self is Jean Duparc, and the location of his Akuma is never revealed.
- Generic Doomsday Villain: It's never known just why he wants to "poof" the Eiffel Tower away, nor is it important given the episode's focus on Princess Fragrance instead.
- The Ghost: Is only mentioned, let alone seen, in a brief news report — and only as his de-Evilized self at that (his Akumatized self is briefly seen in a police sketch, though).
- Informed Ability: Is said to be trying to make an enormous landmark disappear, an ability which, when factored along with his alleged magician motif, supposedly makes him something of a Reality Warper.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: We never get to see his battle with Ladybug and Cat Noir.
- Red Herring: Has no importance other than just to be another example of Ladybug's and Cat's exploits.
Princess Fragrance
"My prince, my prince, smell the fragrance of my eternal love!"
Voiced by: Jessie Lambotte (FR), Erin Fitzgerald and Reba Buhr (EN, Season 1 and webisodes/Season 2 onwards, respectively) Foreign VAs
A perfume-wielding villainess bent on getting a Happily Ever After with her own Prince Charming. Her civilian identity is Rose Lavillant, and her Akuma is in her perfume bottle. Total of Akumatizations: 6.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Her skin is bright green.
- Combat Stilettos: She wears boots with high heels that, naturally, look like pink thorns.
- Cute, but Cacophonic: Adds an evil rasp on top of Rose's already naturally high-pitched voice.
- Evil Is Petty: She makes Chloé smell like rotten fish in retaliation for Chloé claiming her perfume smelled of such. She ends up controlling Chloé anyway.
- The Music Meister: Of a sort. All of Princess Fragrance's Brainwashed and Crazy victims sing, to set the atmosphere of the fairy tale fantasy she is acting out.
- Phrase Catcher: "At your service, Princess Fragrance!"
- Recoil Boost: She can fly by using her perfume gun as a rocket.
- Something about a Rose: Her sleeves, pants, and hair look like rosebuds, likely inspired from her civilian name.
- Technicolor Eyes: She has pink sclerae.
- Yandere: Princess Fragrance will stop at nothing to be with her Celeb Crush, Prince Ali.
Volpina
"Everyone thinks I'm a superhero, including Cat Noir, so you won't be able to call me a liar anymore, 'cause everyone will think you're the liar!"
Voiced by: Clara Soares (FR), Lisa Kay Jennings (EN) Foreign VAs
An illusion-casting villain, based on the Fox Miraculous holder seen in the Miraculous book. Her civilian self is Lila Rossi, a New Transfer Student at Marinette's school. Her Akuma is in her fox tail necklace. Total of Akumatizations: 5 (2 off-screen).
- Animal-Themed Superbeing: A fox-themed supervillain.
- Asian Fox Spirit: Considering the show is produced in Japan and South Korea, and the Miraculous have Chinese ties, it's likely Volpina is intended to be a general compilation of the traits shared between the East Asian fox spirits: the Chinese 'huli jing', the Japanese 'kitsune', and the Korean 'gumiho/kumiho'. These spirits are not identical across these cultures, but they share portrayals as cunning illusionists who disguise themselves as attractive young women to seduce and murder men.
- Bilingual Bonus: Her name is the Italian word for vixen, literally meaning "little fox".
- Cunning Like a Fox: Volpina is as sneaky and sly as the animal she is based on.
- Doppelgänger Spin: One of her favorite tactics is to create copies of herself to confuse her foes.
- Effective Knockoff: While the actual Fox Miraculous bestows the special power "Mirage", allowing its wielder to generate one illusion before needing to recharge, Volpina can generate as many illusions as she wants with no sign of fatigue or limitation. The only caveat is that they disappear when touched. However, in "Timetagger", Bunnyx shows that a Miraculous holder can not only use their power without needing to detransform, they can use their power multiple times. It stands to reason that, given enough time to gain sufficient experience, Alya would be able to utilise her powers enough times to put her on par with or even surpass Volpina.
- Even Evil Has Standards: In her first appearance: unique among akumatized villains, she tries her best to keep everyone from getting involved in her battle with Ladybug. This standard goes straight out the window by "Catalyst" where she traumatizes everyone in Paris to help Hawk Moth's plans.
- Evil Knockoff:
- Of the Fox Miraculous wielders.
- In “Catalyst” she also creates an Evil Knockoff of Ladybug via illusion, where it looks as though she was akumatized and kills Cat Noir.
- Fake Danger Gambit: Uses an illusion of herself stopping a meteor to pretend to be a hero, thereby gaining the trust of Cat Noir and Ladybug.
- Fake Ultimate Hero: With the help of her illusions she "saves" Paris from a giant meteor and enjoys the adoration of the grateful Parisians.
- False Friend: Invoked by Hawk Moth. Volpina sets herself up as Paris' newest superheroine and ally to Ladybug and Cat Noir, only to trick them into chasing after illusions of Hawk Moth so she can trap Ladybug.Hawk Moth: Gain Ladybug and Cat Noir's trust, and convince them you're a real superhero, then betray them and bring me their Miraculous!
- Flying Brick: What she initially tries to pass herself as, by creating an illusion of a comet which she then pretends to stop in its tracks. In reality, she might be more of a Squishy Wizard.
- Four Is Death: She's one of the most formidable of Hawk Moth's minions, and her design has four "tails": the belt, the side locks of her Hime Cut, and her enormous mane of hair worn as a fox tail.
- Hime Cut: Her sidetails look like fox tails and together with the illusion powers, they allude to the idea of kitsune. It is a non-standard use of the trope given that it is usually reserved for elite girls.
- Instrument of Murder: Her flute doubles as a staff.
- Magical Flutist: She uses her flute to cast illusions.
- Magic Music: She's always shown playing a short tune before casting her illusions.
- Magic Staff: Her flute is long enough to wield as a staff and it's the focus of her illusion powers.
- Master of Illusion: Her flute can create realistic illusions.
- Near-Villain Victory: Came very close to get the Ladybug Miraculous twice, only foiled by dumb luck the first time and something she couldn't have seen coming the second. Of all of Hawk Moth's Season 1 villains, only The Puppeteer and Lady Wifi came closer to winning than her.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Her refusal to involve civilians actually costs her the fight: while she knows that Adrien could serve as a hostage against Ladybug she doesn't even try to kidnap him, opting for an illusory double that gets exposed by Cat Noir for obvious reasons. Had she tried to use the actual Adrien she would have been successful or at least exposed his secret identity.
- Not Brainwashed: She's seemingly assisting Hawk Moth of her own free will during "Heroes' Day".
- Personality Powers: As Lila, she is a Consummate Liar that builds herself up as more important than she really is as a means of getting what she wants that do not hold up to scrutiny. As Volpina, she creates illusions to both stage fake acts of heroism to gain the trust of others and fabricate threats to limit her opponents' options. However, the illusions fall apart once touched and she herself isn't very strong herself on her own like how flimsy her own elaborate lies are once their flaws are pointed out.
- Race Lift: A non-casting variant; Volpina's skin tone is subtly lighter than Lila's, most likely to make her look similar to a past Fox superheroine from the Miraculous Book.
- Revenge: She wants revenge on Ladybug for ruining her chances with Adrien. Interestingly, her hate and rage are focused on Ladybug, not Cat Noir. She even flirts with him. When she returns in "Catalyst", her motivation for being Akumatized is to get revenge on Ladybug.
- Squishy Wizard: Implied. Her illusions make her formidable and she's pretty nimble, but she avoids direct conflict and dodges attacks. When Ladybug and Cat Noir finally pin her down she gets deakumatized before she has any chance to fight back.
- You're Just Jealous: She claims Ladybug is jealous of her for being stronger.

Voiced by: Franck Tordjman (FR), Matthew Mercer (EN) Foreign VAs

- Attack Backfire: Attacking him increases his size.
- Came Back Strong: He comes back with his own army of clones.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: He has solid green-glowing eyes.
