Characters / Xiaolin Showdown The Heylin

Xiaolin Showdown | Main Character Index
The Xiaolin Temple | The Heylin | Recurring Villains | One-Episode Characters

Opposite of the Xiaolin Temple is the Heylin, who are the primary antagonists of both series. Unlike the Xiaolin Dragons, who use the Shen Gong Wu for good, the Heylin use them for evil and want to rule the world as well.

General

The original quartet from the first series.

• Arc Villain: In the first series; Wuya for season one, Chase Young for season two, and then Hannibal Roy Bean for the final season.
• Big Bad: As mentioned above, the Big Bads for the three seasons are Wuya, Chase Young, and Hannibal Roy Bean respectively.
• Big Bad Ensemble: Chase Young, Hannibal Roy Bean, and Wuya all have different reasons for taking over the world and will either fight or cooperate with each other depending on the episode.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Each one to a degree, although Jack Spicer is usually the one to proclaim it the loudest, while Chase Young not so much – at least in the first series.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: In addition to double-crossing other characters, they’ve all double-crossed each other at some point.
• Dark Action Girl: Wuya and Shadow have no reservations about fighting with martial arts, Shen Gong Wu, or magic.
• Dark Is Evil: The Heylin side is predominately associated with dark colors, styles, and themes.
• The Dragon: Jack Spicer to Wuya and Shadow to Chase Young.
• Dress-Coded for Your Convenience: Jack's goggles have the same coloration and spiral pattern as Wuya's eyes while in ghost form.
• Enemy Mine: Occasionally, they will team up with one another when a bigger fish needs to be fried.
• Enemy Civil War: In the first series, Wuya and Hannibal Roy Bean try getting rid of Chase Young. In return, Chase Young does what he can to sabotage their plans.
• Take Over the World: They all want to conquer the world.

Jack Spicer

Jack Spicer

"Weird?! WHAT'S SO WEIRD ABOUT ME?!!"

Voiced by: Danny Cooksey (Showdown), Eric Bauza (Chronicles)

The main villain of the first season, Jack Spicer, Self Proclaimed "Evil Boy Genious (sic)", is a petulant, spoiled rich kid with a talent for building mechanical contraptions. He's dreamed of world conquest for as long as he can remember, but that might have something to do with his socialite parents busying themselves with parties instead of parenting. By the second season, it's clear that Jack just wants to be taken seriously—something easier said than done.

---

• Aerith and Bob: The Bob to Wuya's (and pretty much everybody's) Aerith. His name is among the most common and normal in real-life, in contrast to other characters' more exotic names.
• All of the Other Reindeer: As revealed in "The Demon Seed", Jack is seen as a laughingstock by the villain community, especially on Internet chatrooms. It rises to the point he's made a pop culture icon of ridicule in the villain community as a Straw Loser figure, much to his intense chagrin.
  Vlad: Now when person loses everything, new hip thing to say is: "Oh, I got JACKED!!"
• Ambiguously Bi: Jack flirts with girls throughout the series (Kimiko, Jessie) while developing a fanboy crush on Chase Young (complete with adoring gazes through heart-shaped eyes, repeated attempts to hug and paw at him, and whiny jealous sulks whenever Chase rejects him). But also created an army of cheerleaders robots and enjoyed kissing one. Oh, and in the evil future where he takes over he apparently has a soaking wet, naked-except-for-underwear, Chase Young tied up in his dungeon with yellow paint slathered on his abdomen (yellow belly - as in coward), while Wuya is suspended from a wall in a cheerleader outfit. It's evident Jack Spicer swings both ways.
• Badass Longcoat: He wears a long black cloak-like outfit which makes him look evilly cool (in the first series, at least).
• Badass Normal: His surprising skill at winter sports like ice-skating and snowboarding and his fast reflexes, not to mention his flashes of brilliance. Also, there's the Bad Future where he takes over the world and defeats everyone. Yes, even Chase Young and Hannibal Roy Bean.
• Badass on Paper: Despite being the laughingstock of the Heylin side, he still has a fairly impressive bad guy rapsheet.
• Big Bad Wannabe: Emphasis on "wannabe". He gets his wish in a Bad Future, and even manages to make a The Bad Guy Wins example out of this by defeating all the other villains and heroes alike.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows: He has rather thick eyebrows which oddly, are black instead of red.
• Bond Villain Stupidity: Believes in gloating first before eliminating the enemy.
• Butt-Monkey: He is such a loser that he becomes a in-universe meme. If you lose everything or suffer an Epic Fail, you have "been jacked".
• Card-Carrying Villain: Literally, as he's building an "evil boy genius" brand.
• Catchphrase: "Jack-Bots, ATTACK!"
• Child Prodigy: He's about the same age as the monks. He may be immature but is also a brilliant inventor and engineer. He is never seen going to school but given his IQ, it is very likely he skipped a couple of grades.
• Color Blind Confusion: a possible minor example. When Wuya points out that Jack wears mismatched socks, he claims to "have trouble with [his] reds and browns".
• Contractual Genre Blindness: Jack is more interested in being a proper villain than being a successful villain. It's so bad that everyone lampshades it.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite his extreme cowardice and incompetence, every now and then he manages to score a (minor) victory. In one possible Bad Future, he became a much better villain, and actually managed to successfully Take Over the World!
• Cuddle Bug: As good Jack, he wants to give everybody a big hug, much to the others' annoyance.
• Curtains Match the Window: His blood-red eyes and hair.
• Dance Battler: When the effects of the Ying or Yang Yo-Yo switch him to good Jack never fights. However he does dodge everything with ballet jumps, but they actually might be figure skating spirals.
• Determinator: Although he has many flaws, his determination is one of his few admirable qualities. Although he constantly fails (and suffers pain and humiliation), he never gives up trying to take over the world.
• Ditzy Genius: For all of his foolishness, Jack is undeniably a brilliant mechanical inventor and can build everything from robots to mechas to functioning time machines.
• The Dragon: Is this in season 1 to Wuya. Since Wuya is stuck in ghost form, she has to depend on Jack to collect the Shen Gong Wu.
• Dumbass Has a Point: When they first hire Tubbimura and he manages to bring the Sword of Storms, Wuya questions why Jack isn't that impressed. He reveals once Tubbimura leaves that it's because if he knew how impressed they were, he'd probably ask for more money, not to mention he might do another task for them for free if he's that determined to prove himself. Wuya actually commends this.
• Evil Gloating: As he styles himself like a stereotypical cartoon bad guy, gloating is Jack's favorite pastime. He's not particularly good at it though.
• Evil Laugh: Variations across the series, sometimes more annoying than not.
• Evil Redhead: One that is voiced by an also redhead voice actor, who has voiced other evil redhead characters as well (such as Montana Max).
• Expository Hairstyle Change: When the effects of the Ying or Yang Yo-Yo switch him to good, his hair is combed and neat, but what is more interesting is its change to a more natural shade of red (i.e., orange) rather than its usual bright, crayon-like red.
• Fanboy: He acts like a huge fanboy to Chase Young and Hannibal Bean, greatly admiring them for how evil and cunning they are.
• Fiery Redhead: A hammy and rather impulsive Card-Carrying Villain with bright red hair.
• Friendly Enemy: It doesn't look like this trope at the first glance, but Jack does offer to take the monks out for ice cream and even genuinely tries to join their side once.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: All the other villains consider Jack to be an annoyance and a total buffoon, and they won’t hesitate to betray or abandon him. Also, as Good Jack, he plays this role to the heroes, who find him extremely annoying.
• Future Badass: In the Bad Future that Omi finds himself in, he learns that a now elderly Jack Spicer has successfully conquered the world, and he even managed to defeat and capture all the other villains and heroes.
• Genius Ditz: He's not exactly sharp and has been considered a fool by just about everyone but he does have a brilliant mind and he is able to invent his own robots and even a time machine.
• Goggles Do Nothing: Subverted. Most of the time he simply wears them on his forehead as part of the outfit. But he does use them properly when welding.
• Goth: Stated to be a wannabe goth.
• Hated by All: Absolutely nobody in the show likes him or treats him with any respect. The other villains consider him to be a pathetic joke and while he does have the chance to make several alliances throughout the show (his two alliances with Wuya when she was a ghost being the ones that lasted the longest), almost all the alliances end with him being betrayed. The heroes don't like him any better, being on opposite sides and all, but while Omi is eager to give him a chance at redemption, even he engages in bullying Jack when the other monks do the same. And then there's Good Jack, who they consider even more annoying than the regular Jack.
• Heel–Face Revolving Door: Jack joining the side of good happens at least once a season. Once, it was out of a genuine desire to change. Once, it was just to help the monks overthrow Wuya after she took over the world so he could conquer the world himself. Sometimes, it's the result of Heel–Face Brainwashing.
• Helicopter Pack: One of his trademark pieces of gear. It Was a Gift from his grandmother when he turned evil.
• Hero-Worshipper: Or more accurately, villain-worshipper. He worships Chase for being “an evildoer’s evildoer” and the greatest villain in history. He also idolizes Hannibal Bean.
• Hidden Depths: We learn how surprisingly capable he is along with what motivates him:
  • Good Jack has one technique, well it's not even martial arts, but one move that renders even Chase Young helpless - it's a loving bear hug. Chase isn't pleased, and judging from the cracking of bones, it's painful, so threatens to turn Jack into a chew toy if he doesn't release him pronto.
  • Omi figures him out surprisingly well as seen in a "Truth-Or-Lie" Xiaolin Showdown (the challengers are on giant labeled balloons and you have to answer the question the competitor asks. If it's a lie, it pops and the winner is the still standing.) Omi asks Jack if he seeks to conquer the world because he feels small and worthless. Jack naturally denies it and the balloon reveals he's lying and that Omi is right. Next, Omi asked Jack if the reason he stole the monks' Shen Gong Wu because Jack was afraid at failing at being good much like he fails at being evil. Jack lies again and Omi is revealed to be right again. Jack then asked Omi if he took Jack in because of genuine kindness or just to prove his friends wrong (referring to a prior statement on how anyone could be good.) Omi sadly says that he did actually believe in Jack and was legitimately hurt by the betrayal. Jack is so surprised that he ends up trying to say he was planning on betraying them the whole time to save face. Turns out he was lying there too, with Omi realizing that Jack did actually try to do a Heel–Face Turn.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Jack's so pathetic that it makes it really easy to feel sorry for him.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: For all his talk, the "Truth-Or-Lie" Xiaolin Showdown reveals that he wants to Take Over the World because he feels small and worthless.
• Invisible Parents: Jack's parents are never seen on screen but they are mentioned a couple of times in the show. They were mentioned to be rich and wealthy and apparently did not raise Jack as much as typical parents do. They often send him vast amounts of money to make up for their absences, which explains a lot about how Jack is able to afford a high-tech house and create a lot of robot minions that are obviously expensive to make. Jack's father was even the one who went him Wuya's puzzle box in the pilot.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He has a surprising amount of good in him, and has been stated as being a few steps away from being wholly good.
• Laughably Evil: Jack is the least threatening of the main villains, but he's the funniest character in the series. He has a lot of hilarious moments.
• Maniac Monkeys: His favorite Shen Gong Wu is the Monkey Staff, which gives him the appearance of a monkey and makes him act like one. He tends to be a bigger threat in this form than his regular one.
• Mecha-Mooks: The Jack-Bots and variants.
• Momma's Boy: He has been called one on a couple of occasions. Hannibal Roy Bean even explains that one of his biggest fears is being away from his mom for more than one night.
• Morality Chain: In a weird roundabout way, Omi is this, given how he conquers the world where Omi sent himself to the future and thus present. It actually makes sense retroactively since Omi has tried to get Jack to go to the side of good and Omi's genuine belief in him does appear to touch Jack. Without him, it's likely his defeats get to him, causing him to fully go bad.
• Named After Somebody Famous: A Beat Generation poet, to be precise.
• Noble Demon: Hannibal Bean says he's just one step away from being fully good.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain:
  • Omi is the one who keeps him in line even as a heel, so when Omi went to the future that limit is removed and ends up in a Bad Future which Jack Spicer's goal of World Domination did come to pass and is able to even defeat all of The Heylin.
  • A minor example in Chase Lays An Egg, where despite being a bit of a loser in the first part and even bonding with Omi, he's responsible for dropping the chemical that causes Chase to lay the titular egg, and he manages to steal it from under Chase's nose, making it the first time in either show that he enrages Chase. Sure he loses in the end, but that's a decent accomplishment all things considered.
  • His best moment was in "Chameleon" where he pulled an excellent Xanatos Gambit that resulted in him stealing most of the Monks' Wu.
  • There was another notable moment where he stole Chase Young's power to control his pets. That was the first Curb-Stomp Battle he gave the Xiaolin Monks personally.
• Perky Goth: Despite his 'wannabe goth' appearance, he's downright chipper a lot of the time.
• Primal Fear: His nightmare as a little child was being...flushed down the toilet. It crosses into Absurd Phobia, and the monks can't help but laugh when they see it via the Shadow of Fear wu.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: Red hair and red eyes? Check. Black ensemble? Check. Evil (or trying to anyway)? Check.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: He has red eyes and tries to be evil, though he is usually the least competent villain on the show.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Chase's blue. He even has red hair and eyes to boot!
• Redemption Promotion: Jack is a much more intelligent and competent fighter whenever he's aiding the Xiaolin monks.
• Robot Master: Building robots is his bread and butter. One episode had him build a train that could turn into a mecha.
• Screams Like a Little Girl: Jack does a lot of screaming and a lot of it sounds hilariously girlish. Kimiko even lampshades on Jack's habit of screaming like a girl.
• Self-Deprecation: He sometimes ends up insulting himself when insulting his enemies or just when making conversation.
  • When he discovers Omi's worst fear is a squirrel:
  Jack: This is your worst nightmare!? You're more pathetic than me!
  • When playing basketball with himself with the Ring of Nine Dragons:
  Chubby Jack: I've seen you shoot, you're lamer than me.
• Sissy Villain: Jack does not look like one but he definitely acts like one with all the girly screaming and the fact that he loses a lot of the Xiaolin showdowns participates in. He is even called a sissy several times in the show.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Jack and Katnappe can’t stand each other in the slightest.
• The Smart Guy: A perfect fit when he's a good guy because of his cleverness and robot building.
• Starter Villain: For a good while Jack was the most dangerous adversary that the monks faced and most other villains worked either for him or alongside him. Other, more powerful villains were introduced and took the spotlight later on, though Jack remains a constant threat throughout the story.
• Teens Are Monsters: Downplayed in that he does have a good side he doesn't want to acknowledge, but he is still a teenager trying to Take Over the World.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: As a kid, he wanted knife-throwing lessons, but his mother took him for figure skating lessons. As a teen, he aims for world domination with his army of Jack Bots at his command.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He frees Wuya from her puzzle box by quickly solving it once it's delivered to him in the pilot. Though it's likely he would have opened it anyway even if he had known she was in it.
• Villainous Crush: It's hinted that he may have a crush on Kimiko, but it's also possible that he only flirts with her to get her guard down.
• Weapon Specialization: Among the Wu, the Monkey Staff seems to be his preference. He did keep it for himself when he traded the rest of his collection for robot parts.
• We Named the Monkey "Jack": He names the parrot he briefly adopts as a pet and assisttant "Little Jack". However, that parrot turns out to be Hannibal's bird in disguise.
• We Want Our Jerk Back!: The reaction of the Xiaolin Monks whenever he turns good via the Ying Yang World, because Good!Jack is so Sickeningly Sweet that they like him even less than they do when he's normal.
• Who's Laughing Now?: In the first part of the series finale, his Bad Future self has managed to obtain world domination without Omi to hinder his plans. He spends his days mocking the Xiaolin Warriors by forcing them to fight his robot animals and mocking his Heylin competitors by chaining a depowered Wuya to the wall in a cheerleader outfit, keeping an oversized Hannibal in a cage, and hanging Chase by his hands and ankles over a paintbrush that continually rubs yellow paint onto his stomach. None of them really respect him despite his victory, however.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: He spends some time of episode 7 of Chronicles in a purple dress, complete with pigtails, and he doesn't like it at all.
• Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Mostly averted. He actually is an antagonist for most of the series and is the Monk's main rival. However, he delivers alot of the shows funniest lines and is actually rather a sympathetic villain because he constantly fails and suffers pain and humiliation, and yet, he keeps going.
• Your Makeup Is Running: In the episode "Demon Seed", his eyeliner runs off when he cries due to being left completely alone after Wuya leaves him and due to being mocked by the other villains because of this. His makeup usually doesn't run off, though.

Wuya

Wuya

^{Click here to see her ghost form.}

"There must be other competent humans in this realm I could work with..."

Voiced by: Susan Silo (Showdown), Cree Summer (Chronicles)

The true Big Bad of the first season, Wuya is a millenia old Heylin witch who is more than a little irritated about being trapped as a ghost inside a puzzle box^note inexplicably changed to a spring in Chronicles for much of that time. After Jack Spicer releases her, she guides him towards the Shen Gong Wu in an effort to regain her full power and mortal form. Ruthless and self-serving but also short-sighted, Wuya would betray basically anyone to achieve her goals.

---

• Affably Evil: Surprisingly, she can be rewarding to those who serve her well.
• Ambiguously Human: It is very unclear what Wuya is. At first glance she looks to be a regular human woman with vibrant green eyes. But upon closer inspection, she has huge elf-like ears and sharp fangs in her mouth. She also doesn't seem to age, although that could be related to spending hundreds of years inside of a puzzle box as a ghost. She's only ever referred to as "Witch" but there's no telling whether that refers to her species or simply her magical powers. In one episode she claims to predate the human race and was around when mankind was just "crawling from the mud".
• Animal Motifs: Birds. Her name translates to "raven" in Mandarin, she's seen feeding Chase's birds in numerous scenes in season 3, and her ghost form's mask has an oddly beak-like nose. Her good self as seen when she battles Kimiko also mentions wanting to "open a home for birds without nests."
• Benevolent Boss: By all accounts, she's very good to her loyal henchmen; she granted Raimundo and Katnappe (the latter not even doing anything to earn it) everything they desired, with no intention to betray them and even tries to keep up morale for the former when he misses his friends by giving him more gifts and golems to play with. And when he grew tired of that, she went out of her way to learn air hockey, so she could personally play with him. In fact, the only people she's shown regularly betraying are Jack and Chase; the former because he's barely competent (and has tried to backstab her multiple times himself), and the latter because he returned her to physical form with barely any of her original power, and similar to Jack he treats her more as an inconvenience than an ally.
• Big Bad: Of the first season, where the plot kicks off with Jack releasing her from the original puzzle box. While she mostly just acts as Jack's partner and a dark mirror to Master Fung for the duration, the finale has her spur Jack and recruit Raimundo into returning her to her full power, allowing her to take over the world.
• Brought Down to Badass: In later seasons Wuya may not be a Physical Goddess anymore, but she still has super-strength, great martial arts skills, her wits, and a small amount of her magical power, allowing her to easily defeat all the monks at once in spite of her greatly weakened state.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Like the other bad guys, she makes no bones about being evil.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Betrays almost everybody she works with on a regular basis, repeatedly. Except Raimundo, and that does not end well for her. However, she never betrays Hannibal Bean in any of the times that they work together.
• Dark Action Girl: Wuya is snarky, motivated and not afraid of getting her hands dirty in a fight.
• Deadpan Snarker: Mostly whenever she has to put up with Jack's antics.
  Jack Spicer: I'm an artiste, I communicate with my feet.
  Wuya: If I had feet I'd communicate all over you.
• Demoted to Dragon: What she becomes in Showdown when Chase Young revives her (with limited powers) at the end of season 2.
• Elemental Powers: Wuya's main method of fighting in her humanoid form.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: She can make rock golems come to life.
  • Playing with Fire: Likes tossing green fire at enemies.
• Evil Laugh: Has a raspy, cackling laugh.
• Evil Sorceress: Her true form is that of an all powerful witch capable of taking over the entire planet in a few hours.
• Exotic Eye Designs: When in her ghost form, her eyes are yellow with red spirals. When in her human form, they're green with black spirals (though occasionally they just become ordinary pupils).
• I Gave My Word: Despite being evil, Wuya is actually quite honest, shown when she keeps her end of her deal with Raimundo and truly gives him everything he ever wanted as a reward for his service.
• Ignored Enamored Underling: Develops a brief crush on Chase Young when serving as his Dragon, despite him being preoccupied with his evil schemes. He does seem to reciprocate her feelings in the season finale, however.
• Insult Backfire: When Jack was playing a Crossword Puzzle:
  Jack: What's a 4-letter word for "idiot"?
  Wuya: "Jack."
  Jack: Perfect!
• Irony: It's been claimed by several characters (and proven once or twice) that she is a backstabber, and not to be trusted. The irony is, the one person she never even considered betraying is the one who betrayed her, and saved the world.
• Jerkass: She frequently berates Jack for all of his failures, though she does offer some praise on the rare occasion he gets something done right.
• Kick Chick: While she equally uses her body as a whole, Wuya seems to prefer kicking for surprise attacks and counterattacks.
• Kung-Fu Witch: Even after losing most of her magic powers, she can fight with martial arts. She is actually a much better fighter than the monks too, repeatedly and easily kicking their collective butts.
• Lady of Black Magic: In contrast to her ghost form she's calm and decisive as a humanoid, and a master of Heylin magic and one of the most powerful beings in the universe.
• Large Ham: Mostly as a ghost, but she has her human form moments as well. She screams a lot, usually due to Jack screwing things up for her.
• Leitmotif: A dark and foreboding track with an eerie guqin sound, "Psycho" Strings, and Ominous Chanting. She has a modified version of the middle part as her theme when in ghost form.
• The Man Behind the Man: Basically kept Jack Spicer viable as a villain. Once she ditched him, he lost nearly all his competence.
• Mean Boss: During her tenure backing Jack specifically, who she regularly berated for his general lack of competence. She notably is a much more generous boss to Raimundo and Katnappe due to them doing what she asks with significantly less hitches.
• Meaningful Name: Her name in Chinese Mandarin literally translates to "raven", which suits her dark persona and nature.
• Ms. Fanservice: Her true form is that of a tall, long-legged woman with an hourglass figure. In the second episode after she was returned to her human form, she was shown draped over the hood of a car.
• No-Sell: Upon being restored to her true form the first time, the Monks' Shen Gong Wu has completely no effect on her.
• Not Bad: While she will not hesitate to belittle Jack for his cowardice and general incompetence, she does acknowledge his talents in robotics and his application of Shen Gong Wu which she would otherwise regard as useless.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: Seems to be comical and harmless most of the time...but only when in her powerless ghost form. The moment she regains her full power, she proves to be nigh unbeatable and powerful enough to take over the entire world single-handed. Even her weakened physical form Chase revives her in proves to be a gigantic threat.
• Older Than They Look: She looks physically in her 20’s, but she’s 'at least' 1,500 years old.
• Our Ghosts Are Different: The following tropes apply only when Wuya is ghostly:
  • Evil Sounds Raspy: Has a strained, raspy voice in her weakened, ghost form. Her voice noticeably smoothens upon revival.
  • Intangibility: In her ghost form she can phase through objects. She sometimes phases through Jack's face when she's annoyed at him (the sensation is apparently unpleasant).
  • Psychic Powers: Limited in that she only appears to be able to read minds.
  • Expressive Mask: What was originally thought to just be her face (as the mouth and eyes could move) turns out to be a mask: when she is returned to her true form she pulls off her 'face' to reveal her true, humanoid face underneath.
  • The Imp: Her ghost form is about a foot tall. Her true form on the other hand, appears to be of above average height for a woman.
• Pet the Dog: She does have moments here and there.
  • She was very kind to Raimundo during his time as her servant, and does demonstrate care and loyalty to those who show her the same.
  • When Jack does prove his worth at times, like successfully winning a Xiaolin Showdown, or stealing the Monk's Shen Gong Wu, she does praises him.
  • On a rare occasion she's pretty forgiving at Jack's failures. When Jack ended up with very little Wu for himself after his first scuffle with Panda Bubba in Panda Town, Wuya was pretty chill about it.
• Physical Goddess: Her humanoid form, when at full power. She's powerful enough to warp the skies, summon an army of rock monsters, and immediately take over the entire world simply by virtue of being the most powerful character alive; she is also seemingly an Invincible Villain as she no sells being frozen and set on fire, and on top of that it is strongly implied she is The Ageless and immortal. There's a very good reason Chase Young weakened her so much when he revived her.
• Projectile Kiss: In "The Life and Times of Hannibal Roy Bean", Wuya is shown to have the power to fire a pink energy blast shaped like a pair of lips by blowing a kiss.
• Reality Warper: Her humanoid form has near infinite magical powers and rewrote the world in an instant when revived.
• Really 700 Years Old: She is often stated to be 1,500 years old but that was simply when she was sealed away in the puzzle box; she is actually much older and claims to be older than the human race itself.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: She was trapped in a puzzle box for 1,500 years until Jack Spicer freed her unwittingly.
  • Sealed Evil in a Teddy Bear: The ghost form she was bound to looks like a small octopus and is not particularly threatening.
• Sexophone: A subtle one is her Leitmotif once she's humanoid.
• Shout-Out: Her physical design, mannerisms, and voice are all partially based on Eartha Kitt's portrayal of Catwoman in Batman (1966).
• Showing Off the New Body: She loves to flaunt her slender yet curvaceous frame. The following physical tropes apply only when Wuya is human:
  • Ambiguously Brown: In Showdown she had tanned skin but as a millennia old witch, her ethnicity (or if she even has one) is unknown.
  • Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The redhead to Katnappe's blonde and Kimiko's brunette in later seasons.
  • Evil Redhead: Given that red hair was once considered a mark of a witch, this makes sense.
  • Facial Markings: She has vertical stripes under her eyes.
  • Fangs Are Evil: Her ghost form has a mouth full of shark teeth, but her true form only has sharpened canines. They signal that even when she's returned to her body she's not exactly human.
  • Hartman Hips: As the oldest of the recurring female characters, she has a big butt and very wide hips.
  • Pointy Ears: Has very long, elf-like ears to signal that she's not really human.
  • Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: The combination of green-eyes and red hair highlights her 'otherworldly' nature. She's the Big Bad of the first season and a recurring villain of the other two seasons.
• Smug Snake: Entirely too overconfident in her plans, which usually fail.
• Story-Breaker Power: Her all-encompassing reality warping magic would immediately cue another apocalypse if left unchecked, hence why Chase seals her power when he revives her.
• Super-Strength: Show showcases extreme and inhuman feats of strength on occasion, which appear to be completely independent of her magic.
• The Starscream: Once she becomes The Dragon to Chase Young, she seeks out opportunities to overthrow him.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The only one of her partners she seems to actually get along with is Hannibal. Jack, despite the number of times they've worked together, infuriates her, and while she'll cooperate with Chase, she's endlessly frustrated about being kept under his thumb.
• Time Abyss: She's one of the oldest characters in the series, if not the oldest. She claims to have been ruling the world before humans had even begun to evolve. The only character that could rival her in age is Hannibal, and even then it's never explicitly made clear how long he's been around.
• Took a Level in Badass: Initially borders on Harmless Villain, but when she gets her body back, she becomes far more of a threat. Even when Chase Young weakens her, she's still able to defeat the Monks more than once.
• Too Powerful to Live: Overlaps with Story-Breaker Power as she's only been at full power once during the main series, and when she is, she easily takes over the world and is only stopped by Dashi's puzzle box. Chase Young keeping her full strength from her is honestly the only thing that gives the Xiaolin Monks a fighting chance after Wuya's body is restored.
• Unholy Matrimony: Highly hinted at with Chase Young in the series finale, who says they have decided to 'stay together for evil's sake'.
• Uniqueness Rule: While in her ghost form, she's unable to use any Shen Gong Wu aside from the Reversing Mirror, as its natural properties mean it reacts to her oppositely to how other Shen Gong Wu act. This is especially convenient, as she needs to be the one to activate it alongside another person using the Serpent's Tail to restore her physical body.
• Vain Sorceress: Averted, surprisingly. While Wuya's happy about regaining her human form, she complains several times about having to maintain its upkeep, and seems perfectly fine with walking around in the same torn dress and wild hair.
• The Vamp: With her beautiful physical body and superficial charm, she has tried to seduce Raimundo and Chase to get what she wants. She may also be a literal vamp, due to her powers and appearance.
• Villainous Friendship: She seems to be on friendly terms with Hannibal Bean.
• Wild Hair: Moreso in Chronicles, but her hair is permanently cowlicked and extends past her waist, adding to her image as an ancient witch.
• World's Strongest Man: The only character in the series that rivals or exceeds her in power is Master Dashi, and he's long dead by the present. As a result, the only time she managed to be restored to her full strength, she is the most powerful being in the series and many of Chase Young and Hannibal's plans are simply attempting to reach the level of power she naturally has.

Chase Young

Chase Young

^{Click here to see his reptilian form.}

"I do have a... certain reputation."

Voiced by: Jason Marsden (Showdown), David Kaye (Chronicles)

The Big Bad from the second season onward, Chase Young is charismatic, intelligent, and manipulative, a much darker villain than either Jack or Wuya. 1,500 years ago, he was convinced to drink the Lao Mang Long Soup, which granted him power and immortality. As a catch, it also turned him evil and gave him the "ability" to become a draconic creature, not always by choice. Skilled in both Kung Fu and Heylin magic, Chase disdains those who would use a "crutch" like the Shen Gong Wu; that said, Chase is something of a visionary and is not without a sense of honor.

---

• The Ace: He's the most successful villain in the setting, a true paragon of evil if such a thing were possible. Everyone, even powerhouses like Wuya, adore him, admire him, or seek to serve him.
• Ambition Is Evil: When Chase was a human, his desire to be the strongest and best among the monks is easily exploited by Hannibal Bean, who convinces him to drink Lao Mang Long soup to increase his power. The soup does increase his power, but had the side effect of transforming him into a reptilian beast and turning him evil.
• Affably Evil: He is quite civil towards the monks and honors his agreements with them if they pull a victory over him. Completely averted towards the rest of the Heylin, however, as he knows better than to trust them.
• Badass Bookworm: Stated by Jack Spicer to be the "greatest Evil Genius", and by Omi to be "the greatest warrior who ever lived". Only Master Monk Guan has managed to beat him one-on-one, and Chase doesn't use Shen Gong Wu in combat.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: Unlike all the other monks in the series, Chase sees Shen Gong Wu as a crutch for the weak and will rely on his martial arts skills over Shen Gong Wu, even during a showdown.
• The Beastmaster: Chase controls a number of lions, tigers, and leopards which are actually powerful warriors he's fought and kept as slaves over the years. He once turned Omi into a feline slave after having him swear his loyalty.
• Big Bad: Of Season 2 in Showdown, where he sought to turn Omi (who he believed to be his biggest opponent) evil and then conquer the world. He also seems to be developing into this for Chronicles as he's featured leading the charge as opposed to Jack in the original series.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Shared with Hannibal Roy Bean in season 3, and Jack and Wuya to lesser extents.
  • The Dragon/The Starscream: What he previously was to Hannibal Roy Bean. Hannibal turned Chase to evil for the specific purpose of making him his Dragon, but Chase was unhappy with the deal and betrayed him and locked him away in another dimension.
• Blue Is Heroic: His good side has him wear a blue outfit in contrast of his dark yellow armor.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Like the other bad guys, he makes no bones about being evil.
• Catchphrase Insult: He’s got two for Jack. Chase always calls him a worm and an insect.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: The rest of the cast often rely on Shen Gong Wu to fight, Chase has his dominating power through training (and a mystical soup) alone.
• The Chessmaster: He orchestrated a plan to turn Omi to the Heylin. First, he tricked Omi into entering the Ying Yang World and when Omi returned to the real world, his chi was left behind which turned Omi evil. Chase then had Evil!Omi swear loyalty to him, so when Omi's chi was returned to his body by his friends, Omi would still be honor-bound to serve him.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Chase often betrays his allies as soon as they outlive their usefulness.
  • In the past, when he was partners with Hannibal Bean, he banished Hannibal to the Ying-Yang World so he could rule the world alone.
  • In "Saving Omi", Tubbimura, Katnappe, Vlad, and Cyclops all join Chase as his minions. After Chase steals Omi’s powers and becomes a Reality Warper, the next episode begins with him launching them all out of a catapult, one at a time.
  • In "Oil in the Family", Jack tells Chase that Wuya is planning to betray him and makes a deal with Chase to help him track Wuya down in exchange for giving him back the Rio Reverso, a Shen Gong Wu that Wuya stole from Jack. After Jack holds up his end of the deal, Chase throws Jack in front of a hungry T-Rex Wuya created with the Rio Reverso and leaves him to be eaten.
• The Comically Serious: Especially when willingly talking to his fanboy Jack, such as when he's hugged by the evil boy genius.
  Chase: Three-second rule.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Unlike Jack and Wuya, who are predominantly defined by their comedic antics (at least until the latter gets a physical form), constant betrayals of each other, and using lackeys, Chase is a rather serious character, tends to keep his end of a bargain, and is much more proactive, going out in the field and fighting by himself.
• The Corrupter: To Omi. He spent all of season 2 trying to turn him.
• Deadpan Snarker: Comes up often in his interactions with Jack, where Jack will overstep his boundaries and Chase will give some snarky put-down.
  Jack: I have something you don't.
  Chase: Very small hands?
• Deal with the Devil: Hannibal Roy Bean convinced Chase that the only way to get stronger is to drink Lao Mang Long soup. Chase agreed, but realised too late that a side effect of drinking the soup is turning into an evil reptilian beast.
• Dragons Are Demonic: Thanks to a magic soup he drank, Big Bad Chase has the ability to transform into a giant, dragon-like creature. Even when in his 'human' form, he still has some dragon-like qualities, like reptilian eyes and hair that resembles spikes.
• Drama-Preserving Handicap: During the strongest point of the Heylin Eclipse, Chase Young himself can become almost powerless and his jungle cats enter deep sleep.
• Driven by Envy: The reason for his Face–Heel Turn was his jealousy of Master Monk Guan, who he feared might become the chosen one instead of him. This spurred him into making a deal with Hannibal Roy Bean for a soup that would increase his power. However, the soup ended up turning him evil and into a monster.
• Elite Mooks: Chase's jungle cats are actually warriors from various ages that he's defeated in combat and turned into cats. They can return to their human form and fight upon Chase's command.
• Enlightened Antagonist: Chase's martial arts mastery is not confined to the physical badassery, he fully understands (and is able to instruct others) on the spiritual and philosophical aspects of it too. His complete lack of concern in any situation (no matter how ridiculous, dangerous, or world-ending) is not only his total confidence that he can turn the situation to his advantage in the long run, but also a zen-like acceptance of the things he cannot change.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Chase is very fond of corrupting people or otherwise tricking people into joining his side (as seen in his interactions with Omi), but he will not brainwash someone into following him as he prefers they willingly join his side.
  • Even he is afraid of Hannibal Roy Bean. Whatever Hannibal had planned was apparently so much worse than 10,000 years of darkness that he sealed him away in the Yin-Yang World.
• Evil Genius: Jack Spicer claims Chase is "the greatest Evil Genius in the world". However, Chase is more of a pragmatic strategist than he is a technologically savvy inventor.
• Evil Laugh: A lot more subdued than other villains, but he does an epic one in the season 2 finale in his dragon form.
• Evil Mentor: To Omi. Chase Young taught Omi his techniques as well as lessons that Omi arguably needed to learn. It's a shame it was all to turn Omi to evil.
• Evil Overlord: In the second Season its shown that Chase lives in a hidden fortress inside a volcano that's inhabited by warriors he's turned into cats.
• Evil Sorcerer: Never spelled out, but it is clear he knows some kind of Heylin magic, as he's able to turn defeated opponents into jungle cats.
• Evil Virtues: Even after trading his soul for power, Chase never abandoned his sense of honor, always keeping his promises to the letter and the spirit.
• Eviler than Thou: Chase and Hannibal Roy Bean have a history going back to when Chase was human. Hannibal corrupted Chase to The Dark Side and Chase responded by trapping him in the Ying Yang world. Their feud continues to this day, and occasionally Chase will team up with the Monks in order to stop Bean.
• Face–Heel Turn: The famous tale that Chase was once on the side of good; however, Hannibal Roy Bean told him that he could only achieve his destiny as the greatest warrior of all time on the Heylin side. He was convinced to drink the Lao Mang Lone Soup, which ended up costing him his soul and gave him eternal youth as well as the ability to transform into a dragon (though not always by choice).
• Fallen Hero: Used to be a great Xiaolin warrior and a friend of Master Monk Guan and Dashi until Roy Bean corrupted him. In an alternate universe where he didn't drink the soup, Chase is tragically kind, patient and self-sacrificing.
• Fattening the Victim: Chase Young's debut appearance was inviting Dojo to his home and feeding him a lot of food. It's later revealed that Chase is fattening Dojo up to make him the key ingredient in his Liao Mang Long soup.
• Fights Like a Normal: He doesn't have much interest in Shen Gong Wu, preferring to fight using solely his martial arts skills. Even when transformed into his lizard form, he doesn't use his tail or fangs much.
• Heroes Fight Barehanded: A villain case. Chase prefers to not use Shen Gong Wu and relies on his martial arts prowess instead. Although, he isn't opposed to using them to further his schemes or in dire situations in battle.
• Hypocrite: He claims to be above handicapping himself with Shen Gong Wu, but he's willing to use them if he believes they'll give him a significant advantage.
  • For all his talk about wanting to turn Omi to the Heylin side willingly, in the Season 2 finale he outright cheats by tricking Omi into using the Ying Yo-Yo to retrieve Master Fung from the Ying-Yang World (who is only there because Chase trapped him there), knowing that upon leaving he would be forcibly turned evil.
  • The above extends to after the Xiaolin Warriors manage to return Omi's chi to him, reverting him back to good. He plays upon Omi's sense of honor, binding him to a vow of loyalty that he made while basically brainwashed and not even really paying attention to the conversation.
• Gone Horribly Right: Hannibal Bean wanted to turn him into a villain, and he ended up making him into one that backstabbed him.
• Graceful Loser: In the finale, he gives a sincere smile at the Xiaolin Warriors for winning the showdown.
• I Gave My Word: Chase Young abides by a very strict code of honor and holds to his promises. He's similar to Omi in that way.
• Immortality Inducer: Chase is immortal and eternally young due to the Liao Mang Long soup. He's completely dependent on the substance to this day and his first appearance was an attempt to make more of it.
• Invincible Villain: During the 2nd season when he took over as the Big Bad, regardless of what he did, he would defeat the Xiaolin Dragons if they tried fighting him, and almost nothing ever slowed his schemes down. Averted by the 3rd season when he does suffer defeats, as well as Chronicles where despite destroying the original Xiaolin temple in the 3-part opener, many of his plans afterward are successfully thwarted. Ultimately, Chronicle's first season ends with Chase being completely destroyed by Tai Shui, the Cosmic Dragon, thus fully averting the trope.
• Knight of Cerebus: Not completely uncomedic, but whenever he shows up, the plot gets far more serious. He's not as foreboding in Chronicles, but he's still taken more seriously than the other villains.
• Kung-Fu Wizard: Mostly relies on his martial arts skills, but does possess some magic for his schemes, most notably turning warriors he defeats into big cats, and he seems to rely on his magic more in Chronicles.
• Luke, I Am Your Father: While not directly stated, he says that he is Omi's family in Chronicles at the end of Chase Lays an Egg.
• Meaningful Name: His last name is "Young," and his eternal youth is one of his most valued traits.
• Mister Seahorse: He lays an egg in the aptly named episode Chase Lays an Egg. He's very attached to it, to his dismay.
• Mr. Fanservice: He's a well-built Long-Haired Pretty Boy, but it's especially evident in the episodes where Jack has taken over the world: Chase is shown chained up in the dungeon wearing only his underwear.
• Necromancer: A one-time occurrence when he raises a giant undead snake with wings to fight the monks.
• Never Grew Up: Younger Chase Young is less evil but shares the same flaws. Ultimately Chase Young never grew up, only becoming more cruel and evil over the years. This is compared to Good Chase Young who does grow wiser and more mature.
• Noble Demon: Chase is a ruthless half-dragon Heylin Warrior who won't hesitate to turn Omi to the Dark Side or seriously injure Jack Spicer (at the very least, considering he once tossed said "Boy Genius" off a dangerously high cliff and threw a dangerously large boulder at him in another episode), but you can bet your life and college savings that when he makes a promise, he'll keep it.
• One-Winged Angel: His reptilian form, which he actually said was his real form that he can only hide by ritually consuming the Lao Mang Long Soup. In Chronicles, he gains a giant dragon form.
• Pitiful Worms: His favorite way of addressing Jack Spicer.
• Pragmatic Villainy: When he revives Wuya, he only does so in a severely weakened state. While yes, her full power would let them take over the world near instantly, resurrecting someone who wants to rule the world as badly as you and is stronger than you at full power wouldn't be wise.
• Pretty Boy: Has relatively smooth features (compared to his rival Master Monk Guan) with no facial hair and long hair. Hannibal Roy Bean even believes he has "girly" hair.
• Pride: His biggest fatal flaw resulting in a drive to be the best and an inability to fully trust or respect others. If that sounds similar, it's because he's a foil and a warning to Omi.
• Really 700 Years Old: Chase personally knew Master Monk Guan and Dashi, meaning he is over 1500 years old. Drinking the Lao Mang Long soup has made him immortal and forever young.
• Reality Warper: When controlling Omi's powers and chi, he could reach full potential. He was able to reshape the whole world, in order to create a place of complete chaos. When he changed the world, he created demon-like creatures that tortured people and weird flying monsters.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Jack's red.
• Scaled Up: His 'true' form is a man-sized lizard creature that he gained from drinking the Lao Mang Long soup.
• Signature Move: Repulse the Monkey. So much so that Jermaine's use of it immediately raised a red flag for Omi.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: Downplayed. He takes great pleasure in committing evil and causing wanton destruction, but usually maintains his cool-headed demeanor while basking in the chaos.
• Spikes of Villainy: His lizard form has bony ridges running down his spine. In his 'human' form his hair-style mimics these spikes.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: Hinting at the fact that he's really some lizard creature, his human form has gold eyes.
  • Hellish Pupils: Has cat-like slit pupils even in low light.
• The Stoic: Keeps a cool head in most situations - even when he's been imprisoned.
• Truly Single Parent: In Chronicles he created Shadow, and later a mysterious egg, using Haylin magic as a substitute for the other parent's DNA.
• Unholy Matrimony: In the Season finale of Xiaolin Showdown, Chase and Wuya tell the Monks that they have decided that evil needs the two of them to stay together.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: As a young man Chase Young was nice, honorable and self-sacrificing. Alternate Universe Chase (who didn't drink the Lao Mang Long soup) retains these traits even as an adult, suggesting the soup drastically altered his personality.
• You Can't Fight Fate: After Omi attempts to change the past by making Chase stay good, it ends up causing more problems than it fixes. Back in the present day, Chase volunteers to drink the Lao Mang Long Soup since the only way to fix things is for him to turn evil again.
  Chase: This may not be the future I would choose, but it is the future that must be, for the greater good.
• Villain Takes an Interest: Chase takes an interest in Omi and wants Omi on the heylin side.
• Visionary Villain: Unlike the other Heylin, Chase seems to have a very specific future that he wants to bring about.
• Wicked Cultured: Chase oozes this. This goes out the window when he gets Scaled Up.

Hannibal Roy Bean

Hannibal Roy Bean

"Aw, I almost feel pity for the po' boy. Almost."

Voiced by: Tom Kenny

Part of a Big Bad Ensemble with Chase Young in season three, Hannibal Roy Bean is an evil, living bean. An adept reader of others' motivations and emotions, Hannibal prefers to toy with people to achieve his aims. With a Southern drawl and a friendly demeanor, Hannibal's machinations seem to be building to a greater Evil Plan... not that we ever get to see it.

---

• Aborted Arc: Supposedly, he had an Evil Plan that horrified even Chase Young, who said it was something "much worse" than The End of the World as We Know It. Since the show was Screwed by the Network, we never found out what that was. Chronicles appears to have removed him from Chase Young's backstory entirely, meaning the plan will most likely never be known.
• Adapted Out: He is the only main villain who doesn't appear in Chronicles, not even in Chase Young's retconned backstory from episode 25.
• Arch-Enemy: He becomes this to Raimundo.
• Bad Boss: When Jack worked for Hannibal in "Wu Got The Power", Hannibal made condescending remarks about Jack’s stupidity, and once Jack outlived his usefulness to Hannibal, he used the Zing Zombone to turn Jack into a mindless zombie slave. However, Hannibal never mistreated the Ying-Ying Bird, or Raimundo during the brief period Raimundo was pretending to work for him.
• Badass Boast: He gives this in his first standoff to prove how much he outmatches the Monks.
  Kimiko: Hardly seems like a fair fight.
  Hannibal Roy Bean: True. Perhaps I should fight with my eyes closed.
• Bald of Evil: He has almost no hair on his head. He claims to shave his head because it makes him a "real warrior", though Chase refutes this as a lie.
• Baldness Angst: In "Hannibal’s Revenge", he becomes furious when Chase makes a joke about his inability to grow hair.
• Berserk Button: He has a few.
  • It really ticks him off when someone betrays him.
  • Calling him a jellybean.
  • Making fun of his baldness.
• Big Bad: Season 3, shared with Chase Young.
• British Teeth: He has yellow, crooked teeth. And some of his teeth are missing.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Like the other bad guys, he makes no bones about being evil.
• Cephalothorax: Instead of a head, he has a big face on his torso.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To Chase Young. While Chase is a very blatant Knight of Cerebus due to his design and mannerisms painting him as a mysterious dark warrior, Hannibal's design and mannerisms hide the depths of his threat level due to him being quite literally a bean. Chase's main goal throughout Season 2 was fairly obvious; to get Omi on his side, and as such, he set up complex scenarios that worked out no matter the outcome. Hannibal's plots are more straight-forward, having devastating consequences as a whole, but are largely standalone from one another.
• The Corrupter: To Chase Young in the past. In an alternate timelime, he corrupted Master Monk Guan
• Eviler than Thou: Against Chase Young.
• Evil Is Petty: Moreso than the other Heylin. After being Out-Gambitted by Raimundo midway season 3, he spends the next episode tormenting him as petty revenge.
  • He thinks Chase has "girly" hair and that a true warrior has a shaved head. Potentially misogynistic.
• Evil Laugh: He does this a lot.
• Faux Affably Evil: Hannibal can put on friendly airs and speaks in a calm Southern accent, but he's ever and always a manipulative monster and will respond with rage if those he tries to trick piss him off.
• Hannibal Lecture: Pun aside, he did the "psychoanalyze from inside a cage" thing in his debut episode. There he made it plainly obvious that Jack Spicer is not really evil and is instead, at best, a crybaby Noble Demon in denial.
• In a Single Bound: He can make huge leaps, despite the fact that he doesn’t have legs.
• Knight of Cerebus: The series had some pretty dark moments following his appearance, particularly in "Dreamstalker", "Wu Got The Power", and "Time After Time Part 2”.
• Manipulative Bastard: Rivals Chase Young in this area, but does so from a different angle. While Chase sets up scenarios in advance that enable him to get the monks to do what he wants, Hannibal prefers a more direct approach by directly attacking the Fatal Flaw of his target.
• Mobile-Suit Human: His giant, spiky armor which he first appears in, but is afterward revealed to be a bean. It appears again a couple of times in season 3, though it's largely for show rather than actual combat, as he proves capable of fighting perfectly fine without it.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: He used the Moby Morpher to grow extra arms a couple times.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: The Xiaolin Monks didn't really think of him as a threat due to him being a bean...and then he outmaneuvered them by getting them to set him free and defeating them in combat.
• Pintsized Powerhouse: As small as a real bean, but is capable of great physical strength and speed, able to tear through Jack's robots in an instant and manhandle the Xiaolin Monks while mocking their efforts as an exercise.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Has yellow eyes with red irises.
• Revenge: Aside from taking over the world, his other goal is to get revenge on Chase and Raimundo for betraying him.
• Satanic Archetype: Was the one who corrupted Chase Young and is generally regarded by the other characters as evil incarnate.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: He was trapped in the Ying-Yang World by Chase until he tricked the monks into freeing him.
• Shapeshifting: In addition to his martial arts skills and prodigious strength, Hannibal gets his hands/tentacles/roots on the Moby Morpher; allowing him to change his appearance and even his size.
• Slasher Smile: His default expression.
• Sore Loser: When Raimundo cons him out of the treasure of the blind swordsman, to say that Hannibal didn’t take it well would be an understatement.
• Spikes of Villainy: On his armor.
• Transformation Trinket: The Moby Morpher.
• Villainous Crush: In "Hannibal’s Revenge", he flirts with Wuya, implying he has a crush on her.
• Villainous Friendship: He gets along pretty well with Wuya.
• We Can Rule Together: He tried to get Chase, and later Raimundo, to join him as his dragon, offering to let them rule the world by his side. However, they both betrayed him.
• Weapon-Based Characterization: The Moby Morpher is the Wu he exclusively used in the series to alter his size and appearance. It marks his status as a Shapeshifting Trickster.

Shadow

Shadow

^{Click here to see her as Willow.}

Voiced by: Jennifer Hale

Chase Young's newest disciple, first appearing in Xiaolin Chronicles. She helps Chase in his plot to destroy the Xiaolin Temple by infiltrating as a potential apprentice named Willow.

---

• American Accents: Her Southern accent as Willow.
• Awesome Aussie: Speaks with a stereotypical Australian accent.
• The Dragon: To Chase Young in Chronicles.
• Extreme Omnivore: Her usual diet is insects. She also destroys one of Jack's spy cameras by snatching it up with her tongue and chomping down on it, and it doesn't look like all the pieces fall to the ground.
• I Have Many Names: She calls herself the "Mighty Shadow" without any indication that's her real name. Ping Pong calls her "La femme brune" (the dark-haired girl) and "La grand ombre" (the big shadow).
• Incest Subtext: Shadow was born and created directly from Chase's body after he tore out one of his own ribs...which sounds familiar until you get to the part where said rib transformed into a baby Shadow before growing into her current form. None of this stops her from flirting with Chase, wanting to be his Queen, and becoming jealous over his affections. She even partially lampshaded the trope when she joked how calling him "Papa" hardly seemed appropriate.
• Light Is Not Good: While in her Willow disguise.
• The Magnificent: The "Mighty" Shadow.
• The Mole: As Willow.
• Overly-Long Tongue: Which is bright green for some reason.
• The Starscream: Has some doubts on what her identity is, and begins to doubt Chase due to his increasing number of failures. The latter ultimately comes to a head in Chase Lays An Egg, where she decides to destroy the titular egg after seeing it bring out Chase's Papa Wolf tendencies. After a battle with Chase and losing a showdown against Omi for the egg, she retreats, officially defecting from Chase's side.
