History
Although he appeared as a minor character at first, he becomes more recurring in the next arc "In Too Deep". In said episode, he is shown as the best friend of Zachary Delightful (the benefactor). After a few falling outs, he then vanished from the scene during Hospital Arc. However, he has his ally preventing another disaster towards him. Unfortunately, the next episodes he appeared in would make him more antagonistic than ever. In "Trump Time", he serves as the secondary antagonist of the episode although his role is small as he only appeared after the Myles Bots' misadventure. He was annoyed about the lawsuits being on his fortune to the point of hissing at Zachary. However, he admits that he lied and attempted to hit on Water Witch revealing his selfishness in the process. He then faked the redemption act so he can get closer to Water Witch. The last straw was when he was shown to be popular as well as having seniority. She then flushed him down the toilet and walked away. Following his defeat, he loses the loyalty of his friends and his ratings plummeted. He eventually ignored the pleas of a store vendor and was trapped inside a cursed song along with the remorseful Sanjay. However, he escapes offscreen and auditioned only to get turned down. It is then that he approached Zachary and reveals his true nature in a form of a villain song. He then escapes capture by Zachary through song and caused everyone to burst into song and dance in the process. He escaped however and did the same thing while confronting Zachary this time the characters bursting into song.

He returns in "Dr. Langer Returns" just before the villain ensemble is defeated which leads to him discovering Zachary and is shocked that there's more to the teenager than he thinks. He then reveals that the reason he grew to become a cowardly and treacherous jerk, he was corrupted by his own guilt of causing his original best friend's death, which leads to Zachary apologizing for his treatment of the snake. Then he sees Zachary's life before his very eyes and learns that his friend's not the only one to suffer misfortunes. Finally seeing Zachary for the intelligent and mature hero he really is, he learns his lesson and takes on a deal to take a break on the weekend as well as becoming Pig's successor in order to take down villains which is scrapped.

He then returns as a charismatic antagonist and one of the villains in the remainder of the first half of Lundgren Style. The snake is initiated alongside Zachary Delightful, Negro, Turtle Bandana and Songbird. However, he slowly reverts to his vengeful identity as soon as it is revealed that his BFF death was just a sad story to hide his true intentions. The incident was later scrapped and he comes into a rivalry with Zachary Delightful after a misunderstanding inadvertenly caused by one of Zachary's classmates. This later is rekindled after the team confronts a sadistic burglar who shapeshifts into him in order to get his allies to kill the wrong person. However he made a flaw which prompts the team to defeat him and the teens to delay his victory although he has yet to accept Zachary's aliased offer for him to join the Myles Bots. Since the events of the Christmas Bomb, he is not considered an antagonist to the Myles Bots nor any denizen, and he has also shown empathy for others, befriending Zachary and the Myles Bots in the process, thus he's not a rival to the date.

However, this all changes when he betrays his own alignment and is revealed to be Lisa's boss therefore making him the quarternary antagonist overall. He then battles the Myles Bots in the arc's three-part finale "CONTROL+ALT+PARTY" and tries to kill them but is then shrunk which causes them to retreat. He somehow returns to size and consoles Zachary after he is in danger of losing his job. Unfortunately, Zachary 'dumps' him and he is thusly heartbroken. He then recovers after going through the grief stages and decides to absolve his crime when the U.S. Rebellion starts.
