[[folder:John Juniper '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WilWheaton, Puddles Pity Party (Intro Credits)
Artist, director and visionary, John Juniper is a highly trained Hollywood actor and wealthy celebrity. In addition to this, he serves as a member of Zoraxis Industries, helping them further their scheme to kidnap and replace the leaders of the four major world powers.
----
* BadBoss:
** During "Operation: Party Crasher", the agent poses as Juniper's butler by sending him wine via a dumbwaiter. If the agent repeatedly messes up, Juniper orders the wine cellar gassed to kill his incompetent butler.
** John Juniper orders his guards to gas the wine cellar and throw grenades in it to kill the agent, fully aware that his butler Gibson is being held captive within along with them. [[TheDogBitesBack This causes Gibson to turn on him]], revealing to the agent that the heads of state are still alive.
* BecomingTheMask: His signature tradecraft. It’s what makes him such an efficient impostor for the state leaders, aided by the Mimic Masks the Fabricator gives him.
* CoDragons: Along with the Fabricator, the two report to Zor on the operation to kidnap the world leaders.
* DisneyVillainDeath: He's dropped from the catwalk he's hanging onto after being shocked by his mask.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's very arrogant and egotistical, thinks of himself as "the world's greatest actor" and thinks that the Agent is an “extra, trying to upstage the star” and that he's the one running the show.
* TheHeavy: While Zor is ultimately the one pulling the strings, Juniper is the one who carries out the operation to capture and impersonate the heads of states, and he is the one whom Agent Phoenix primarily clashes with throughout ''The Spy and the Liar''.
* HisNameIs: He's starting to try to bargain information on Zor in exchange for his life when Zor, who is listening in quite intently, has him killed by the Fabricator.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The Mimic Mask has a kill switch built into it, which is activated to electrocute Juniper and drop him to his presumed death
* HumiliationConga: "Operation: Party Crasher" can easily be one for him. You knock out his butler, ruin his party, make fools out of his security team by killing them with his own gas security system, freaking them out over a fake Agency attack and [[GrenadeHotPotato scaring them by telekinetically returning their grenades to them]], and can use the dumbwaiter to send said grenades to blow up his castle's study, ballroom and billiards. To
* MaskOfPower: The Mimic Mask from ''The Spy and the Liar'' is a hi-tech device that perfectly copies the facial appearance and the voice of another person. It’s the reason the state leaders are professing support for Zoraxis despite their actual views; because it's not actually them. It was John Juniper impersonating them, while the actual state leaders were kidnapped by Zoraxis.
* SmugSnake: Juniper thinks of himself extremely highly, calling himself "the world's greatest actor" and having high faith in his scheme. Even when he's hanging by a catwalk, he still thinks that he's running the show. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Zor shows to him how wrong he was.]]
* SurroundedByIdiots: In "Operation: Party Crasher", Juniper will demonstrate his low opinion of his security forces if the agent returns one of the grenades they toss them through the wine cellar hatch.
* VillainsWantMercy: Hanging on the edge of a catwalk after being outwitted by Agent Phoenix, he tries to beg for mercy and bargain information on Dr. Zor in exchange for his life. Zor doesn't give him the chance.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's a well-regarded actor whom even the Handler admires. [[BrokenPedestal The Handler is not pleased to find out that Juniper is working with Zoraxis.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Talking about Juniper is difficult without divulging that he's working for Zoraxis Industries, which isn't revealed until partway through
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: The moment Juniper offers to tell Agent Phoenix who Dr. Zor really is, Zor commands the Fabricator to use John Juniper's mask to electrocute him and drop him from the catwalk he is hanging onto.
