* WouldHurtAChild: He has absolutely no qualms about stripping Odd Squad agents of their jobs and livelihoods, nor does he have any qualms about slandering them in public view of the townsfolk and making them seem like odd villains. Never mind the fact that he views children in general as brainless inferiors.

!! Fladam
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2022_08_15_at_22_02_38_oddtube_villains_and_a_puppy_pbs_kids_2.png]]
-> Played by: Creator/MartinRoach

A villain who has a deep hatred of cubes. His power is the ability to flatten people and objects that are three-dimensional using his trademark sunglasses.

* AbsurdPhobia: The end of "Flatastrophe" seems to imply that Fladam doesn't just hate cubes, he's outright ''afraid'' of them.
* BizarreTasteInFood: Fladam likes ice cream sandwiches. However, his preferred idea of an ice cream sandwich is a scoop of ice cream placed in between two pieces of bread, and every time he asks for one, he gets a typical ice cream sandwich.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Looks very much like Music/WillIAm, right down to the uniquely-designed sunglasses.
* CopycatMockery: Uses this against Polly Graph in "Flatastrophe" when he threatens to flatten her cube-shaped seats.
--> '''Polly Graph:''' ''[whining]'' No, please! My customers won't have anywhere to sit!
--> '''Fladam:''' Nooo, please! ''[EvilLaugh]''
* FreudianExcuse: He developed a vendetta against cubes because as a child, he ran through his playroom and stepped on a toy block. Olive wastes absolutely no time in asking him:
--> '''Olive:''' Are you sure it was the cube's fault? [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse 'Cause it kinda sounds like you're clumsy-]]
--> '''Fladam:''' ''[defensively] I am...not!''
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Although "Flatastrophe" showed him getting treatment from Odd Squad in order to get over his fear of cubes, later episodes show him returning to villainy.
* PaperPeople: Discovers that he has the power to turn people into these in "Flatastrophe" when he aims for one of Polly Graph's chairs and ends up attacking Olive instead.
* PunnyName: His name is a combination of his real name, Adam, and his schtick of flattening things.
* SinisterGeometry: He's not a geometric figure, but he can destroy cubes and make things two-dimensional using his sunglasses.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Averted. Olive and Otto have no idea who Fladam is before meeting him for the first time at Polly Graph's lemonade stand.
* SinisterShades: His sunglasses can flatten both people and objects by firing blue beams at them. They can also restore two-dimensional figures as well, as Precinct 13579 manages to figure out.
* WeaksauceWeakness: A single knock to the neck by a folded-up Olive is enough to knock him down and leave him too stunned to fight back.
* WouldHurtAChild: His discovery of his power to flatten people as well as objects comes after Olive is flattened by him during a Diving Save.
** He also has no problem threatening to hurt Kooky Clown (or whom he thinks is Kooky, anyway), who appears to be a child, in "Undercover Olive" after she beats him at rock-paper-scissors. It takes the combined might of Even Steven and Jellybean Joe just to restrain him.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2022_07_28_at_15_36_12_oddtube_villains_and_a_puppy_pbs_kids_youtube.png]]
-> Played by: Ashley Comeau

A villainess whose specialty is jam. She enjoys splattering people and objects with it, and is a frequently recurring foe in Odd Squad's RoguesGallery.

* AlliterativeName: Goes along with the naming theme of other villains having the same kind of name.
* BatmanGambit: "20 Questions" has her exploiting Oprah's juice addiction by giving her a juice box in exchange for allowing agents to ask villains only twenty yes-or-no questions. It works like an absolute charm.
** The same episode has her giving an addendum to her deal -- allowing the rule to be extended to villains' mothers as well, so that any questions they are asked count towards the overall total. Oprah declines and closes her eyes so she's not tempted again, but this doesn't sway Jamie, as she has Father Time win the Director over by placing another juice box in front of her and allowing her to smell the West Indonesian guava it was made with. It ends up working yet again.
* CardCarryingVillain: She's not shy about letting citizens know she's a villain, treating her odd crimes like a provided service.
* ClashingCousins: She and Marty Marmalade don't get along well with each other.
* EnemyMine: "Villains in Need Are Villains Indeed" has her teaming up with Odd Squad, along with the Noisemaker and Mr. Lightning, to stop a rampaging indestructible robot of her (partial) creation.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In "Flawed Squad", she mentions taking her nephews to the museum next Saturday, showing how much she can prioritize them over attacking Odd Squad.
* GadgeteerGenius: Yes, if the robot she built in "Villains in Need Are Villains In Need" is any indication.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: At the end of "Mid-Day in the Garden of Good and Odd", she is shown working in Todd's garden. Later episodes would have her returning to villainy, "Odds and Ends" would show her as a part of Odd Todd's Home for Villains, and Season 3 would have her going right back to being a villain.
* InsistentTerminology: Often corrects those who say she deals in jelly by saying it's jam, and then comparing the two foods.
* LaughingAtYourOwnJokes: Her debut episode has her making various jam puns and cracking herself up with them.
* TheLeader: Becomes this in "Villains in Need Are Villains Indeed".
* PrecisionFStrike: Subverted. In "Villain Networking", she seemingly says "damn" to the first Sister Sally just before attacking her, but closer listening reveals that she's actually saying "jam". Her saying "damn" is a subtitle error from Creator/PBSKids.
* PurpleIsPowerful: She wears predominantly purple and has been shown to be pretty smart in outwitting Odd Squad agents.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Despite her debuting in Season 2, she is established as a recognized villain.
* RobotBuddy: Jamie has a very strong attachment to Benny, the robot she built in "Villains in Need Are Villains Indeed". When she and Otis go inside him in an attempt to stop him, she asks the agent for a moment alone with him before she leaves.
* TaughtByExperience: She's been caught by Odd Squad so many times that she ends up giving tips to other villains for how to avoid getting caught themselves. All of them lampshade various villain-oriented tropes (EvilGloating, MeaningfulName, etc.)
* {{Telepathy}}: Gains this power for the sake of the RuleOfFunny in "Villains Helping Villains".
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jam, of course. [[InsistentTerminology Not jelly.]]
* TrickedOutGloves: Jamie Jam wears a pair of gloves that she uses to attack with. They are activated in the same way one would open a jar of jam -- she twists the lids attached to them and gets to blasting.
* VillainousFriendship: Seems to be good friends with Mr. Lightning and the Noisemaker.
* VillainSong: "When You're Not Causing Oddness", a duet with her cousin Marty Marmalade that focuses on what villains can do when not committing odd crimes.
** There's also "Say You Did Wrong" from "Odds and Ends", which is a Broadway-style piece that's about villains admitting they've done wrong and making [[HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turns.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: Most every villain qualifies for the trope to some degree or another. Special mention goes to both Sister Sallies, however, since they left Opal, Omar, Oswald and Orla for dead after one of them goes up the wrong staircase and causes Orla's Headquarters to begin collapsing.

Two SiblingsInCrime with powers relating
to stickiness. They are both named Sally, although they are colloquially referred to as the squad.
Sticky Sisters.

* AntiVillain: Many AnimalMotifs: Both of them have gecko motifs, with their outfits and powers resembling that of a gecko's.
* BigApplesauce: "Odd Beginnings: Part 1" has them going to New York City and looking like complete outliers among all
the villains people walking around, being unfamiliar with the city.
* CallingYourAttacks: Every time they attack, they call out what substance they're attacking with.
* CardCarryingVillain: The first Sticky Sister definitely isn't shy about telling others that she and her sister
are polite villains.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: They serve as the main antagonists for the Season 3 premiere, although it's made clear that they're not the [[BigBad Big Bads]]
and are only evil working under another villain.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In "Odd Beginnings: Part 1", they proceed to blast every agent in the Arctic Headquarters solely
because of Arctic Mr. O asked them if there was a "New York City 2" after they declared their oddness. For example, Mr. Lightning intentions to go ''to'' New York City.

* ElectricBlackGuy: Mr. Lightning.NotQuiteDead: "Odd Beginnings: Part 2" never shows their fates after they try to escape from Orla's crumbling Ancient Headquarters.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2022_07_26_at_23_08_04_oscar_strikes_backmp4.png]]
-> Played by: Jaedon Siewert

The President of the Scientists and the head of the Science department. Although he appears as a strong leader initially, it's soon revealed that he has...[[BrainwashedAndCrazy ulterior motives]] for the Scientists he leads.

* BadBoss: Well yeah, if brainwashing all of the Scientists he rules is any indication.
* BungledHypnotism: He's good at brainwashing his Scientists. Getting them to do his bidding, however, is another story entirely.
--> ''"How are you suddenly all not smart after I controlled your minds?!"''
* DudeWheresMyRespect: The reason why he's a villain to begin with. He believes that Investigation agents get all the credit for solving oddness while Scientists -- the ones responsible for building the gadgets that agents need in order to solve oddness -- get no credit at all. However, he is in the minority on this opinion, as when he contacted Scientists and explained his strife, they disagreed with him, stating that they like helping Investigation agents and that they're all a part of the same team. This is the breaking point for him, as he proceeds to use mind control on every Scientist under him so he can destroy Odd Squad as revenge.
* EnfantTerrible: Following in the footsteps of other kid villains like Odd Todd. Especially notable is that he managed to put ''Oprah'', one of the strongest characters in the franchise, under mind control, although she and Oscar were outnumbered so she couldn't attack Obbs nor the Scientists he controls.
* EvilGenius: He's the President of the Scientists and serves as the BigBad of "Oscar Strikes Back".
* HazyFeelTurn: At the end of "Oscar Strikes Back", he tells Owen and Ohio that he'll just continue to be a villain, but when handed a brochure for Todd's Life of Grime Villain Rehab, he looks at it and gives a shrug before walking away. Since he doesn't make any appearances in any future episodes nor is he mentioned, it's unknown if he's still on the side of evil or is in Todd's Villain Rehab.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He ends up being defeated by Oona combining gadgets to make a gadget that can override his mind control. She states that she'll use it to bring all the brainwashed agents under her control and rule the world (the prospect of which appears to terrify him, and rightfully so, given her CuteButPsycho personality), but then says she's only kidding and smashes the gadget on the table to bring everyone back to normal.
* HypnoTrinket: For Lab-Con, he designed pins that, when worn and activated, put the wearer under mind control.
* TheLeader: He is the head of the Science department at Odd Squad and serves as the President of the Scientists. This is despite Oscar having founded the department to begin with, although he does get promoted to the position eventually.
* LongGame: It's implied that Obbs had been planning to take over Odd Squad using mind control for years, but for some reason, he never got around to putting it in action until Lab-Con.
* TheMentor: A deleted scene from the script of "Oscar Strikes Back" reveals that he serves as a teacher for Scientists-in-training at the Odd Squad Academy. Given his status, though, it's likely he is an EvilTeacher.
* MindControlDevice: He controls his Scientists using a remote, which is classified as a gadget.
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: While not a president of a country, he is referred to as the "President of the Scientists" and rules over an entire department. He is a mix of the President Evil and the President Scheming types.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Apart from a small handful of instances, he just can't get his mind-controlled Scientists to do anything he wishes.
* TakeOverTheWorld: What he hopes to do once he destroys Odd Squad. He's even willing to go one step further and conquer any planets that have life on them, stating that he has a hunch about Neptune in particular.
* TurnInYourBadge: Once Oona frees the Scientists from his mind control, Obbs is forced to give his badge to Owen and Ohio.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Obbs is a fearful EnfantTerrible who wishes to destroy Odd Squad with the help of his lackeys, the Scientists he leads. Said lackeys, however, get their IQ points significantly reduced when mind-controlled, which frustrates Obbs.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: Wears a green one under his labcoat, in contrast to the other Scientists' white ones.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to bring him up without also bringing up the entire events of "Oscar Strikes Back", especially Oscar being promoted in place of him.
* [[invoked]] WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to the pink draft of the script for "Oscar Strikes Back", Obbs was originally meant to be a girl who wore a turtleneck sweater instead of a green vest. The script also described him as "like an evil [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Tony Stark]]."
** Likewise, the episode also would have had him serve as a teacher for Scientists-in-training that attended the Odd Squad Academy.
** The announcer that introduces him refers to him as "the greatest Scientist that ever lived" in the pink draft of the script for the episode, which adds to his "showy" personality that was kept in the final product.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He's given a brochure to Todd's Life of Grime following his firing, but we never see nor hear of him again.

Feel free to remove the quote under Mundane Object Amazement if it doesn't fit. It's not said in the show or franchise itself, just in the pitch bible.

* GoGetterGirl: She is very much driven by ambition, starting from when she was working at Arctic Mr. O's Headquarters and continuing to be ambitious when becoming a part of the Mobile Unit department.



* JumpedAtTheCall: As soon as she finds out that Oswald had discovered the map to the 44-leaf clover, she's quick to jump on board and begin setting out on an adventure to New York City with no regard for what Arctic Mr. O would think.
* TheLeader: Once the Mobile Unit is formed, she takes on the role as the de facto leader of the team up until her departure, when Orla becomes her successor in the role.

think. She keeps this trait upon being promoted to the Mobile Unit department.
* TheLeader: Once the Mobile Unit is formed, she takes on the role as the de facto leader of the team up until her departure, when Orla becomes her successor in the role. However, according to the pitch bible for Season 3, she can be very possessive about her leader status and has a very hard time giving up control to her teammates.
* LivingLegend: She's not one herself, but her intent with the Mobile Unit department is to make others view it as one. Given how other agents view it and how "Odd Off the Press" made it become famous enough to get press conferences, it's safe to say she succeeded.



* DemotedToExtra: In Season 2 of ''WebVideo/{{OddTube}}''. He was originally meant to be the host before Orla was made to be the host instead, and he only appears in two episodes as a side character.



* {{Expy}}: His goofy personality and BigEater tendencies may remind some of his predecessors, Olympia and Otto.

* {{Expy}}: His goofy personality and BigEater tendencies may remind some of his predecessors, Olympia and Otto. Confirmed in the pitch bible for Season 3.



* MellowFellow: Not as much as other agents like Ocean, but Omar considers himself to be very chill and only a sparse couple things can get him riled up. Because he's so mellow, he serves as a mediator for arguments and a key to diffusing tension-filled situations.



* ThePollyanna: He always looks on the bright side of things.

to:

* ThePollyanna: He always looks on the bright side of things. This was true even when he was working in the Arctic.



* SuperGullible: Due to his [[TheDitz ditzy]] nature, he's known to be gullible at times, which is something that the other agents like to exploit for their own benefit.
* TeamSpirit: The pitch bible implies that when working in Arctic Mr. O's Headquarters, he didn't feel like he was a part of a team. When he gets promoted to the Mobile Unit department, he's more than thrilled to be working in a team.



* InsufferableGenius: The pitch bible reveals that his character was originally going to be one, often talking endlessly about certain things to the point where it takes him a long time to actually take action against something. In the show itself, he's a genius, but far from insufferable and self-absorbed.



* SociallyAwkwardHero: Due to being so used to working alone and being pushed into a situation with teammates and dealing with the outside community, he can come off as awkward but charming.



* ThisIsReality: The pitch bible implies that he often tends to apply what he reads about in books to the real world. Unfortunately, in a WorldOfWeirdness, this hardly ever works, and reality often comes to give him a good punch in the gut.



* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Being an ancient warrior, she is very unfamiliar with the modern world. Once she becomes a part of the Mobile Unit, she gradually starts to learn about modernity and begins to fit in.

* FluffyTamer: The pitch bible implies this, stating that she has the ability to tame a jaguar. The episode "Slow Your Roll" also has her mentioning how she used to wrestle crocodiles and alligators within the span of a day. Justified due to living in the Amazon for most, if not all, of her life.

* {{Expy}}: Averted. Unlike Omar, Oswald and Opal, she is not based on any preexisting main character.

* {{Expy}}: Averted. Unlike Omar, Oswald Zig-zagged. According to the pitch bible, Orla is meant to be an expy of Otis, employing various tactics and Opal, she is mannerisms from "the old days". However, Otis doesn't really have any "old days" to experience, as he's not based on any preexisting main character.an Ancient Agent like Orla is, and the two agents have vastly different personalities, so whether Orla is actually an expy of Otis or not remains up for debate.
