Magnanimous is one of the first enemies and most deadly Coop and his friends encounter. He was the chairman of the Galactic Combat Championship Federation. He is based on and voiced by the actor Bruce Campbell, often quoting some of his lines.

Biography[]

Magnanimous is first seen in the episode, "Battle Royale", monitoring Coop fighting a random robot, exclaiming that he "might be able to use this human fool." He then appears in front of Coop, Jamie, and Kiva Andru, and offers Coop an opportunity to fight for him in his tournament. Coop immediately accepts and enters the Galactic Championship Federation Bash Fest. After seeing Coop's first two fights, he confronts Coop and claims that he was right and that Coop will make him rich. He then tells Coop that he's going to lose the next match. Coop defies him and begins winning the third match. Magnanimous then decides to cheat and binds Megas with metal tentacles that appear from the stadium. However, Kiva overrides the system and releases Coop, allowing him to easily win the third match. Magnanimous becomes angry and goes to see who is hacking his stadium's system. He discovers Jamie and Kiva, then takes them prisoner, putting them in a forcefield cage dangling over a quantum singularity. He then threatens Coop, saying that he will drop them into the quantum singularity if Coop doesn't start losing. Kiva and Jamie manage to escape from the cage and get into Megas. Subsequently, Magninmous releases all the other fighters in an effort to take down Coop. Coop easily defeats all the fighters but is then attacked by Magnanimous himself inside his Sonic Abominator mech. Coop easily defeats him using the Jammer and then cuts Magnanimous from his mech, sending him into the quantum singularity. His base then blows up and it's assumed that he was gone for good.

He reappears in "The Return". When Kiva asks him how he got out of the quantum singularity, he merely states that "it wasn't easy". He starts by claiming that he's trying to rebuild the GCCF, and revokes Coop's title as champion and demands the championship belt back, also angry that he got an annoyng ete twitch because of the quantum singularity. Coop refuses, and inexplicably says that it's in his garage. Magnanimous decides to have his current five fighters race to Coop's garage to grab the belt. Coop manages to beat all five fighters and declares that no one can beat him, and he'll take on anyone who wants to challenge him. Magnanimous takes advantage of his statement and offers a 500,000,000 credit prize to whoever can beat Coop, hundreds of robots and aliens then appear to fight, T-Bot among them. Coop continues fighting until Megas shuts down. Magnanimous then takes out the last of the fighters in his newest mech. He then revealed that the real reason he returned was for revenge. After a grueling fight, Coop manages to rip Magnanimous out of his mech. Coop, while holding Magnanimous in Megas's hand, reveals to the other fighters that there is no prize for beating him. He is then thrown to the ground, where he tries to reason with the other robots. He then creates and jumps into a wormhole, followed by the angry robot challengers.

In an alternate dimension, Magnanimous was killed by Evil Coop.

Appearance[]

As described by Jamie when he first shows up, Magnanimous is "a big head with tiny arms and legs". He is a large, big-chinned head with Elvis-styled hair. He wears a white and yellow mechanical suit that allows him to fly around with. His arms and legs are covered in metallic sleeves and his right hand is holding a type of control stick protruding from the side of his body, possibly used to control his metal suit. In his second appearance, he has a much bigger chin, a scar over his right eye, and slightly messier hair. Magnanimous's appearance is a combination of both MODOK from the Marvel comics and Bruce Campbell.

Notes[]

All the Robots Magnanimous piloted had a look referencing Elvis Presley.
- Magnanimous' resemblance to Bruce Campbell is also shown in the second Robot he pilots in The Return Mechnanimous as it references Bruce Campbell's most well known role of Ash Williams from the Evil Dead Series as its weapons consist of a Chainsaw in place of a right hand and it's left hand carrying a blaster which resembles Ash's Shotgun which Ash nicknamed his Boomstick.
