Secondary characters introduced in ''The Scooby-Doo Show''/''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo''


Scrappy-Doo

Scrappy-Doo was added to the cast of ''Scooby-Doo'' to save the series' ratings, which by 1979 had begun to sink to the point of cancellation threats from
ABC ABC are the first three letters of the Latin script known as the alphabet. ABC or abc may also refer to: Arts, entertainment, and media Broadcasting * American Broadcasting Company, a commercial U.S. TV broadcaster ** Disney–ABC Television ...
. After his addition to the show proved to be a ratings success, Hanna-Barbera restructured the show around Scrappy in 1980. The original format of four teenagers and their dog(s) solving supernatural mysteries for a half-hour was eschewed for simpler, more comedic adventures which involved real supernatural villains (the villains in previous ''Scooby'' episodes were almost always regular humans in disguise). Scrappy remained an integral part of the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise, on both television and in ''Scooby''-related licensed products and merchandising, through the end of the 1980s. He was also briefly the star of his own seven-minute shorts — the ''Scrappy and Yabba Doo'' segments of '' The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour''. Teamed with his uncle Yabba-Doo and Deputy Dusty, he helped maintain law and order in a small town in the American west. In later years, the presence of Scrappy-Doo has been criticized as having had a negative effect on the various ''Scooby-Doo'' series of the 1980s. However, the gradual decline of ''Scooby-Doo'' has been credited to other factors as well, such as changes in format. Scrappy-Doo has become the symbol of an irritatingly overexuberant or cute character added to a series in an attempt to maintain ratings, a phenomenon also known as Cousin Oliver Syndrome. Due to the general perception of the character by audiences, Scrappy-Doo has not appeared in any Scooby-related spinoffs since the made-for-television movie '' Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf'' in 1988, with four exceptions: In the first live-action ''Scooby-Doo'' theatrical film — where Scrappy played a decidedly negative role, wanting revenge on Mystery Inc., for abandoning him years ago (he was kicked out for continuously urinating on Daphne, being obnoxious, and the final straw was when he tried to vote himself as the leader of Mystery Inc.). When Velma is talking to a guy at the bar who likes her, she tells him that Scrappy was not a puppy, but had a glandular disorder. Although he nearly succeeds in performing the 'Darkopolypse Ritual', which would give a group of demons the power to rule Earth for the next ten thousand years, his plan is foiled and he and his minions are arrested because he underestimated the Mystery Inc. team, inviting them all to the theme park where he was conducting the ritual after they broke up years before simply to make them witness his triumph when he only needed Scooby present, intending to use Scooby's 'pure' soul to complete his ritual. At the conclusion of the film, Velma says that Scrappy's full name is Scrappy Cornelius Doo. '' Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King'' (2008) has a scene where a monstrous Mystery Machine crashes through a carnival stand containing dolls of Scrappy, and running over them. Like all the previous direct-to-video movies, Scrappy never made an appearance. ''

In the episode, "Night of the Boogey Biker", Red ''is'' in fact behind the crime, but Fred was unable to accuse him because of a bet he made with Daphne earlier on in the episode, where he would not be allowed to accuse Red of a crime for 24 hours. This would be the only episode that would have Red as the criminal. Red is short, chubby, has curly red hair and normally wears a green vest over a white shirt, blue pants, and cowboy boots. Among his catchphrases are "HAH! What a weenie!", "That's not very funny" and "I didn't do it, Jones!" His name is a reference to the idiom " red herring". *Red Herring is voiced by

''. He doesn't like the gang because they get in his way of solving crimes, although he turns towards them when he's in a jam. He acts as an authority figure for the kids. He had a close relationship with Mayor Fred Jones Sr. until he found out that Jones was the Freak of Crystal Cove and stopped talking to him. He felt he deserved to become mayor after Jones was arrested and is cold to Mayor Janet Nettles in the second-season premiere. Sheriff Stone is normally seen in uniform and is very rarely seen in other outfits. He wears a brown hat and sheriff's uniform and has a mustache. His actual first name is Sheriff, as his mother thought that he was destined to be one. Besides himself, Sheriff Stone also looks up to Iron Will Williamson (who was later nicknamed "Dead Justice") and, before he was found out to be the Freak of Crystal Cove, Mayor Fred Jones Sr. When the new mayor, Janet Nettles, arrived in Crystal Cove, he felt that ''he'' should be the new mayor, and acted cold towards her, only to end up falling in love with her and beginning a steady relationship with her. In the restored world he and Janet are married with four children named Eastwood, Norris, Billy Jack, and Lynda Carter. *Sheriff Bronson Stone is voiced by

Hot Dog Water (Marcie Fleach)

Hot Dog Water, real name Marcie Fleach, is an inhabitant of Crystal Cove and a recurring character in ''Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated''. She is first introduced in the episode " Where Walks Aphrodite" as a cameo and later has a voice cameo in the episode " The Dragon's Secret", and would make her full-fledged episode debut in " Menace of the Manticore", serving as the titular villain. She would later return in the episode " The House of the Nightmare Witch", out on parole and working with Velma and Mr. E. to find the third piece of the Planispheric Disc. She joins Mystery Incorporated as Daphne's temporary replacement in the same episode, only to leave in " Web of the Dreamweaver" following Daphne's return in the preceding episode, though Velma wanted her to stay. She subsequently made a cameo appearance in " The Hodag of Horror", and as the costumed villain in " The Night on Haunted Mountain". She makes another cameo in " Wrath of the Krampus". Hot Dog Water has been Velma's rival for years, as the two girls have competed several times in the science fairs in Crystal Cove and Velma has mostly won. However, their rivalry seems to have faded and has become a friendship as a result of their partnership while working for Mr. E. They remain, friends, even after she leaves Mystery Incorporated, and Hot Dog Water claims Velma is the only real friend she's ever had. In "Wrath of the Krampus", Velma mentions that she still knows how to get in touch with her and she helps the gang by stealing the three pieces of the Planispheric disc from Mr. E's hiding place. She has claimed to be smarter than Velma, as she concocted a "super helium" during an experiment in which she was testing the metal from the roller coasters at her father's theme park so she could be a

She also has high computer skills, which she uses to make fake advertisement sites, as well as accurate financial pie charts, though she cannot figure out the traps surrounding the piece of the Planispheric Disc in the ship during the episode "The Night on Haunted Mountain", and causes the events to trick the gang, mainly Fred, into investigating the attack on Fred's friends, so Fred can trip the traps for her. In " Through the Curtain", Hot Dog Water is taken hostage by Professor Pericles and he uses her as leverage to threaten the new Mystery Incorporated. However, Hot Dog Water breaks free and threatens to hurt Pericles, allowing her friends to escape. She is soon thwarted and shot by the Kriegstaffelbots, but her death was reversed in " Come Undone" — in the alternate universe created by the gang after destroying the Evil Entity, Marcie and Velma are teammates and work together to win the science fairs mentioned in "Menace of the Manticore". She is normally seen with messy, long brown hair, red slim-framed glasses, a skirt, striped shirt with a jacket over top, and has a messy look about her. She smells of "hot dog water", hints to where she got her nickname, which her father reveals in "Menace of the Manticore" to be a result of her and her entire family bathing in recycled water previously used to boil hot dogs.

Mayor Fred Jones Sr.

Mayor Fred Jones Sr., was the mayor of Crystal Cove for the first season and is Fred's father. He is proud of Crystal Cove being named the "Most Haunted Place on Earth", and uses it to attract tourism. This is why he doesn't approve of his son solving mysteries and proving the monsters to be faked. He doesn't understand Fred's obsession with solving mysteries and building traps and is usually discouraging him. He has a tendency to blurt out alliterative phrases when startled, usually by Fred. Later in the season, he is shown with a piece of the Planispheric Disc. This leads Fred to wonder and investigate who his father really is. In the first-season finale, it is revealed that Mayor Jones is the Freak of Crystal Cove and that he had adopted Fred so he could use him to keep his real parents (Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves of the original Mystery Incorporated) from returning to Crystal Cove. He is arrested and forced out of office. His successor is Janet Nettles, who is the polar opposite of Jones, calling upon the Gang for assistance in various mysteries. He appears in the " Wrath of Krampus" as one of the gang's former enemies they enlist to help them in the plan to steal the remaining pieces of the Planispheric Disc from the original Mystery Incorporated. Despite his past betrayal, Fred says he was more than happy to help in the plan. He guards the gang's pieces of the disc during the events of the episode and returns them after they retrieved the other three pieces. In " Nightmare in Red" the gang encounters his good half trapped in the waiting room, a supernatural prison for the good elements of those corrupted by the curse. While Nibiru had made Fred Sr. cold and unfeeling to Fred, his good half admits that Fred was the best thing in his life and he always thought him as his real son and was proud of him. In the alternate timeline created by the gang after destroying the Evil Entity, he is the principal and soccer coach of Crystal Cove High School and admits to Fred that he had been special to him. *Mayor Jones is voiced by

Mayor Janet Nettles

Mayor Janet Nettles is the successor to Mayor Fred Jones Sr. after he is arrested for being The Freak of Crystal Cove. She first appears in the episode " The Night the Clown Cried", where she is approached by a mysterious figure, who later turns out to be Velma in disguise, to retrieve Scooby, Shaggy and Fred to help save Crystal Cove from Crybaby Clown. She is the second person, aside from Angel Dynamite (Cassidy Williams), to support the gang in their mystery-solving choice and even gives them an office, though it turns out to be the old janitor's closet, in the town hall. She is later revealed to be in a relationship with Sheriff Bronson Stone, although at the beginning Sheriff Bronson Stone is not thrilled that he was tossed over to be mayor for Nettles. The two are constantly seen out on dates throughout the second season. In " Dark Night of the Hunters" she sent an old colleague to follow the gang where she reveals (to her embarrassment) that she had a nightmare to help the gang retrieve The Heart of the Jaguar and return them safely to Crystal Cove. At the end of the second season, in the alternate timeline created by the gang after destroying the Evil Entity, she is shown to be married to Sheriff Bronson Stone with four children, three sons and one daughter, of whom Daphne often babysits. *Mayor Janet Nettles is voiced by

The Original "Mystery Incorporated"


Mr. E (Ricky Owens)

Mr. E (a play on "mystery") is a mysterious figure that gives clues to the gang throughout the first season. He doesn't reveal his face, or true identity to the gang, but helps them solve their mysteries while giving them cryptic clues to solve the mystery of the truth behind the Curse of Crystal Cove. These clues lead them to find out about a cursed Conquistador treasure, the secret history of Crystal Cove's founding Darrow Family, and the unsolved disappearance of the original Mystery Incorporated. Towards the end of the first season, he is revealed to be Ricky Owens, who was part of the original Mystery Incorporated and the owner of evil megacorporation Destroido. He is Shaggy's old Mystery Incorporated counterpart, and used to be skinny like Shaggy, but ends up overweight and wearing a long dark coat. Mr. E owns a van called the "Enigma Machine", an all-black counterpart to the Mystery Machine. It is unknown if Mr. E is a friend or foe to the new Mystery Incorporated as he has, on several occasions throughout the series, helped them to solve many of their mysteries by giving them cryptic clues. But during the events of both " The Legend of Alice May" and " Pawn of Shadows", he has caused the mysteries the gang has solved using Alice May both times, first to retrieve an old Crystal Cove High School yearbook for the gang to find out about the original Mystery Incorporated, and the second time to use them as "parrot bait" to get Professor Pericles to come to help the kids out of the danger from the Obliteratrix in order to obtain his piece of the Planispheric Disc that he had taken from Mayor Fred Jones Sr. In the episode " The Gathering Gloom" it is revealed how Ricky Owens and Professor Pericles met. Professor Pericles had crash-landed in Ricky Owens' front yard when he was a child and was injured. Ricky took Professor Pericles in and nursed him back to health and when Ricky went to set him free, Professor Pericles took off but immediately returned to stay with Ricky. Also during the episode, the two pair up once again to go after "the Treasure". At the end of the second season, in the alternate universe created by the gang after destroying the Evil Entity, Ricky Owens is shown to no longer be Mr. E and is a lot like his younger self. He is also happily married to Cassidy Williams and the two work together with Pericles at a new

Angel Dynamite (Cassidy Williams)

Cassidy Williams, alias Angel Dynamite, is a citizen of Crystal Cove and a recurring character in ''Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated'', as well as one of the original members of Mystery Incorporated. She first appears in " Beware the Beast from Below" as a radio DJ for Crystal Cove's K-Ghoul radio station. Before she is revealed to be Cassidy Williams, she is a friend of Scooby and the gang and is the only inhabitant of Crystal Cove who supports them as mystery-solvers. After she is revealed, she is shown to be working with Mr. E, who has been hinted as, while she was still a member of Mystery Incorporated, once being her boyfriend, this is later confirmed in " The Midnight Zone". Upon his return to Crystal Cove, Mr. E also brought Cassidy along with him to help him seek out the Planispheric Disc and get revenge on Professor Pericles, as well as to help him keep an eye on the new Mystery Incorporated. Although she works with Mr. E, Cassidy is shown to have a great deal of concern and care for the gang. After she reveals her side of the reason why the original Mystery Incorporated left, the gang turn on her and no longer trust her as she had "been lying...since the beginning." When the Freak attacks Shaggy and Scooby at their home she and Ed Machine bring the gang to the radio station where she tries to comfort and give shelter to the gang only to have them lock her in her own booth. After attempting to contact Ed to let him know what has happened, she contacts Sheriff Bronson Stone and informs him of where the gang has gone and after rescuing her, she goes after them to make sure they are okay. During the first season of ''Mystery Incorporated'', she is seen with a 70's type outfit, with short black hair, green bell-bottoms, green tanktop-ish type shirt, and platform shoes, as well as green eyeliner. In the second season of ''Mystery Incorporated'', Cassidy is no longer working with Mr. E and during the events of " The Night the Clown Cried II - Tears of Doom!", Mr. E seeks her out and tells her "It would be the perfect time to get close to the kids again," but she refuses and states that she is no longer Angel Dynamite but just "Cassidy Williams," and tells him that she won't hurt the gang again. She also changes her look during the second season and applies new makeup and sports a trench coat and normal jeans and shoes. She begs to Brad and Judy, Fred's real parents, to stop hunting for the Conquistador treasure and to put Fred first but when they refuse she returns to K-Ghoul to start revealing the secrets of the Conquistador treasure and the curse of Crystal Cove. This has put her into real danger as Professor Pericles states to Mr. E at the end of "The Gathering Gloom" that "she will have to be silenced forever". She also begins spying on Brad and Judy. During the events of "

", Cassidy is setting up the pictures of the Darrow family as a clue for Velma in her room to help her solve the mystery of the past mystery-solvers in Crystal Cove, including the original Mystery Incorporated, all of whom have vanished throughout the city's history. She is presumed to be dead after the events of the episode, "The Midnight Zone", and it is shown that the gang regrets not reconciling with her beforehand. It is never truly revealed if she did die or just went into deep hiding. In the episode " Nightmare in Red", Cassidy is in the room of those who had been affected by the Curse of Crystal Cove, but unlike many around her, with the exception of Fred Jones Sr., she is not her younger self, like Ricky Owens, Professor Pericles, etc. but is seen as an older self in the second season after changing her look. At the end of the second season, in the alternate universe created by the gang after destroying the Evil Entity, Cassidy is shown to be alive and well and happily married to Ricky Owens. The younger version of herself is seen constantly throughout the first season of the series.

of incredible intelligence with a German accent, he is also a sinister and highly manipulative sociopath, caring only for his own gain. Professor Pericles at first is only referenced in the series by a picture that has him circled in red marker. He makes his full-fledged appearance in the episode " Howl of the Fright Hound" where he is imprisoned in Crystal Cove's Animal Asylum. When the gang comes to visit Scooby, who is being framed for being the "Fright Hound", Daphne's locket opens of its own accords and begins playing the tune within it. Professor Pericles responds to this as he recognizes the tune. When the gang go to investigate him, he gives Fred a warning to "Beware those who are closest to you". He escapes and Mr. E sends Velma a text message telling the gang to follow him. It is later revealed by Mayor Fred Jones Sr. in the episode " All Fear the Freak", that he and Professor Pericles struck a deal to search for the Planispheric Disc together and helped him to chase the original Mystery Incorporated out of Crystal Cove but Jones Sr. betrayed Professor Pericles and drugged him to render him unconscious and had Professor Pericles locked up. This also explains Mr. E's statement in the episode "Menace of the Manticore", about how Scooby is a more "trustworthy companion" to Shaggy than Pericles was to him. Professor Pericles is also behind two of the mysteries in Crystal Cove, as he aided Amanda Smythe in the episode "Where Walks Aphrodite", where he uses the events to obtain objects he needed to help him retrieve what he needs for his quest for the Conquistador treasure. He is also the Shadowy Figure in the episode " A Haunting in Crystal Cove", where he hacks Fred's laptop to "scare" the location of Fred Jones Sr.'s piece of the Planispheric Disc out of him, which he succeeds in doing and he takes off with it. At the end of the first season, Pericles has two pieces of the disc and Scooby vows to get him once he reunites the broken-up Mystery Incorporated. In the second season of ''Mystery Incorporated'', Professor Pericles does not return until " The Hodag of Horror", where he has an unknown proposition for the original members of Mystery Incorporated which involves the new Mystery Incorporated since they have now retrieved two pieces of the Planispheric Disc. During " The Gathering Gloom" Professor Pericles admits to trying to reunite the original Mystery Incorporated only to be rejected by them and turns to Mr. E in hopes that, due to their strong bond in the past, he will help him. Mr. E initially refused, citing Pericles's betrayal of him and the Original Mystery Incorporated. By the end of the episode, however, Mr. E does join forces with Pericles. The two manage to recruit Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves, Fred's real parents, to their cause. Pericles becomes more depraved as the series draws to its close as he works to free his "master", the Evil Entity, in hopes of becoming all-powerful in exchange for releasing the Entity. Pericles succeeds in freeing the Entity when Nibiru comes, and volunteers to serve as the Entity's physical host. However, Pericles learns to his horror too late that he has to die for the Entity to take over. Pericles' body is disfigured and remolded to serve as the Evil Entity's form until its defeat. In the alternate universe created by the gang after destroying the Evil Entity, he is shown to be the mascot for Ricky and Cassidy's

Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves

Bradley "Brad" Chiles and his wife Judy Reeves are members of the original Mystery Incorporated and the birth parents of Fredrick Jones Jr. When Mayor Fred Jones Sr. abducts Fred to keep Brad and Judy from returning to Crystal Cove, the two continue to live their lives under secret identities for as the famous Sternum and Sternum, a couple who invent traps and help mystery solvers. Upon Mayor Jones' arrest, the two return to Crystal Cove apparently to reunite with Fred, but are really after the Conquistador treasure and have no care or concern for their son. They also have a dog named Nova, whom Scooby is instantly smitten with. They are Fred and Daphne's old Mystery Incorporated counterparts, respectively. They first appear in the episode "The Hodag of Horror" but their younger selves are occasionally seen throughout the first season. Brad's younger self wears a sports jacket, has blonde hair identical to Fred's, and has freckles on his face but has the same face, chin, jawline, and body outline as Fred, his older self however does not have freckles and he has white hair. Judy's younger self is shown to have long blonde hair and wearing a white shirt with orange ruffs and tan pants, whereas her present-day self sports short blond hair and a rich look about her. The two eventually re-team up with Mr. E and Professor Pericles to help the two obtain the three pieces of the Planispheric Disc from the gang, as well as get their hands on the cursed Conquistador treasure beneath Crystal Cove. In "Wrath of the Krampus", Fred makes it clear that he had known that they were only after the pieces of the disc and appeared hurt by their betrayal. Fred even makes it clear that he preferred Fred Jones Sr. over them. Upon the revealing of their betrayal, the gang takes Nova with them with Scooby stating that Brad and Judy "do not deserve" her. In the episode " The Man in the Mirror", Professor Pericles does plastic surgery on Brad and Judy to have Brad look identical to their son and Judy as an older version of Daphne. They remain like this for the remaining episodes until the alternate universe is created. At the end of the second season, in the alternate universe created by the gang after destroying the Evil Entity, Brad and Judy have been returned to their original look. They raised Fred, have never been trap experts, and are

The Evil Entity

The Evil Entity is the overarching villain of the series. He is an evil Anunnaki that was imprisoned for many centuries within a crystal sarcophagus, buried beneath Crystal Cove. Like other benevolent members of its race, he came to Earth thousands of years ago at the time of Nibiru, when an alignment weakened the barriers between dimensions and allowed them to cross over. While the other Anunnaki sought to help humankind grow, the Evil Entity desired only destruction and he was imprisoned into a crystal sarcophagus by the other Anunnaki. While imprisoned, the entity attempted to manipulate many mystery solvers throughout the centuries in hopes of setting him free. After he is freed by Professor Pericles, the Entity intended to possess Scooby-Doo as his physical vessel, but he manages to break free. Pericles insists that he forgets about possessing Scooby and offered himself to the entity as a willing host instead, in which the Entity agrees. Taking Pericles' body and killing him in the process, the Entity assumes a physical form becoming a giant parrot-faced three-horned with a squid-like body and tentacles and then devours Brad, Judy, and Mr. E. Later, it set about consuming Crystal Cove's citizens before it went on to consuming galaxies. It also calls other evil Anunnakis from its sarcophagus and orders them to catch Crystal Cove inhabitants for him. The Mystery Incorporated kids realize that, unlike other mystery-solving members of groups forged by the Entity, their friendship was strong, as the Hunters of Secrets before them. Their love for each other helps Mystery Incorporated destroy the Evil Entity, creating an alternate timeline in which Crystal Cove is entitled the "Sunniest Place on Earth." *The Evil Entity is voiced by
