Evil Con Carne As A Whole
Evil Con Carne
- Nebulous Evil Organisation: Evil Con Carne is a terrorist group that is dedicated to dominating the world and the League of Nations.
- Purple Is Powerful: The signature color for Evil Con Carne. Even though they only wish they were powerful.
- Villain Protagonist: They're the main characters and they also happen to be a terrorist organization planning to take over the world.
- Would Hurt a Child: In Max Courage, they were perfectly willing to hold Rick and Max hostage and threaten to torture them to get their father to work on the War Machine. They also tried to mind control children in the Christmas special.
Hector
Hector Con Carne
"My name is Hector Con Carne and I will one day rule the world!"
Voiced By: Phil LaMarr
"Don't you know that tyranny never sleeps?"
Hector Con Carne was a billionaire playboy from Mexico who wanted to dominate the world. One day, he and his mansion were blown up by a bomb. His brain and stomach were recovered by Major Dr. Ghastly and attached to a bear named Boskov. Someday, Hector would find the rest of his organs and finally rule the world.
- Arch-Enemy: To both Cod Commando and Estroy, to the former as an opposite force and to the latter as a rival in evil.
- Art Evolution: He started out as spherical in the pilot, having a shape more like that of a real brain afterwards and having more detail added to him in the later episodes.
- Berserk Button: Hector gets restless when Boskov disobeys him. Not that this does him any good or gives him any rest.
- Big Bad: He is the leader of Evil Con Carne who leads them in trying to Take Over the World.
- Big "WHAT?!": Hector yells that from time to time.
- Bilingual Bonus: Hector sometimes speaks in Spanish here and there in some segments.
- Brain in a Jar: His current status is that he's a disembodied brain kept alive in a jar.
- Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them: Hector was tired of being attached to Boskov until it ultimately subverted in "Boskov's Day Out".
- Combat Pragmatist: If he had his body back.
- Dark Lord on Life Support: Hector Con Carne is a Brain in a Jar (and stomach, in a separate jar) set atop a bear. He's a possible parody of Brain from Doom Patrol.
- Dashing Hispanic: He's implied to be of Hispanic descent, his body in flashbacks is shown to be well-built, and Major Doctor Ghastly is sometimes implied to have a crush on him.
- Doomed Hometown: His manor was blown up by Cod Commando, which caused his reduction to a brain.
- Dub Name Change: The Latin American dub changed his name from Hector Con Carne to Hector Ado, a pun on "Dorado" (Golden).
- Dumb Muscle: Given how buff he used to be, he surely once had more use of his body than his brain, which makes the trade-off seem hardly fair.
- Embarrassing Nickname: His mother calls him "Stinkypants".
- Enfant Terrible: His mother reveals in "The Mother of All Evils" that he's been a bad guy since he was a kid.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Hector is so terrified of disappointing his elderly mother, all these years he's been pretending to be an oral surgeon as opposed to an international arch-criminal. Apparently, his mother never watches the news, because Hector's charade works for far longer than it should, even when his mom visits his lair. Except it didn't.
- Evil Versus Evil: Hector versus Estroy. Also, when Hector decided to reunite the world's villains to form a League of Destruction, the league destroyed itself because nobody would accept anybody else as leader.
- The Faceless: Hector's face, pre-explosion, is never shown; even old photos of him cut off at the neck. However, we do see that he was a very tall and very well-muscled man with flowing black hair tied back in a ponytail. His son Destructicus's face may provide some clues about what he looked like.
- Gratuitous Spanish: Hector sometimes speaks Spanish.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Throughout the series and his many, many failures one sees how being a single brainless brain doesn't afford a lot of criminal prestige.
- I Was Quite a Looker: Before losing his body, he was quite the Hunk.
- Large Ham: Second to Skarr, he's the hammiest character on the show.
- Latin Lover: Hector, like one would expect from an international arms dealer, before losing his body had enough of the prerequisites (and ways to make use of it) to be one. Especially the money.
- The Leader: Of Evil Con Carne.
- Ludicrous Gibs: The explosive assassination attempt in his backstory blew his body far and wide, with bits of him — his two front teeth — reaching as far as the Arctic. Offscreen, of course.
- Meaningful Name: His last name means "With Meat" in Spanish.
- Oblivious to Love: Hector on Ghastly's feelings for him.
- Otaku: Hector likes Japanese culture. Which doesn't mean that he has any qualms about slaughtering Japanese civilians, only that he has his Mooks dress as samurais and yield katanas.
- Psychopathic Manchild: As we see through the episodes how hopelessly childish his plans of conquest are and also learn about how he tried to take over the playground as a kid, we realise that he hasn't changed very much.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Hector is the red to Ghastly's blue.
- Relationship Upgrade: In the future, Hector has a son with Ghastly.
- Terrified of Germs: Confirmed in The Smell Of Vengeance, where germs might kill Hector's brain.
- Wholesome Crossdresser: In Teenage Idol, he and Boskov dressed up as a woman.
- Villain Protagonist: The main protagonist and blatantly evil.
- Villain with Good Publicity: In the flashback to before his lost his body, he is shown to be The Casanova and puts up a facade of being a legitimate businessman. After losing his body, he seems to have fully dropped this and became a Card-Carrying Villain.
- Villain Song: The Musical Episode "The Pie Who Loved Me" has him sing "Things I Adore".
Ghastly

Major Dr. Andedonia J. Ghastly met Hector Con Carne when he was a complete body as she fell in love with him. Since she did not get hired for Hector, she felt upset. Once she realized Hector got reduced to a brain and a stomach, she put them in jars and attached them to Boskov.

- Expressive Goggles: Ghastly's goggles change depending on her mood.
- Gasshole: Ghastly admits that she gets gassy in "Teenage Idol".

- Ignored Enamoured Underling: She's hopelessly in love with Hector, who's technically her boss—while he at least seems to appreciate Ghastly on a professional level, he seems unaware that she's romantically interested in him. Though in the future, he does end up having a child with her.
- Mad Scientist: Her role in the organization. She's responsible for invention new gadgets and weapons for Hector to use for world domination.
- Ms. Fanservice: A very curvy scientist, voiced by Grey Griffin, that often finds herself in sexual situations or skimpy clothing.

- Only Sane Woman: Compared to the rest of the team, Ghastly's definitely the most down-to-earth member due to being more laid-back.

- The Power of Love: For her pie recipe, she had the secret ingredient which is love.

- Relationship Upgrade: In the future, Ghastly has a son with Hector.

- Transplant: Also appeared in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy after it split off from Evil Con Carne. He's the only character from Evil Con Carne to gain at least a recurring role on the former show.
