Here, he's a little boy living in London who is wronged by each of the Super Science Friends at one point but especially resents Einstein for shoving him and stealing his balloon, who is sent back in time and grows up into a gun-slinging Wild West villain who leads the Nazi Party (Churchill had previously assassinated Hitler as a child, leaving Himmler, Goebbels, Mengele, and Ploetz without a figurehead). He even speaks with a Southern drawl, making him more or less the historical figure In Name Only.
- Affably Evil: Seems this way at first—he speaks politely while detailing his evil plan to the SSF, and gives them a five-minute headstart before attempting to shoot them all to death.
