History Characters / ScoobAndShag

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: ZigZagged. When Mario is first seen in silhouette, he's depicted as more of a blob. His next appearance has him drawn in the comic's regular style, or rather [[ArtEvolution what the comic's regular style was at the time]].

* DopplegangerGetsSameSentiment: [[spoiler:Scoob at least seems to care for Shag just as much as for the original Shaggy, to the point of being willing to make a DealWithTheDevil to save him.]]

* TheHeavy: They're not the true {{BigBad}}s -- Mick's the one truly causing the story's conflict -- but they're the main antagonistic force driving the plot and the primary foes that the Toones face.

* TheHeavy: They're not the true BigBads -- Mick's the one truly causing the story's conflict -- but they're the main antagonistic force driving the plot and the primary foes that the Toones face.

* AmbiguousSituation: Has yet to show up in flashbacks and is traditionally a live action character, leaving it unclear how he ended up with the rest of the cast. [[spoiler:It gets stranger when he shows up with Fred in the past, another character who is stated to be away from the ship but on Earth. #83 finally reveals the circumstances of his appearance.]]

* MyGreatestFailure: It's implied that he regrets not investigating when Velma informs him of the transmission made by the Martians, [[spoiler:which allowed said Martians to locate and invade the Toones' homeworld]], in spite of the matter being above his pay-grade.

* MeaningfulName: "Info" gives Swipes useful info about anything he touches.

* TheHeavy: They're not the true {{Big Bad}}s -- Mick's the one truly causing the story's conflict -- but they're the main antagonistic force driving the plot and the primary foes that the Toones face.

!![[Franchise/MickeyMouse Goofy]]

!![[Franchise/{{Mario}}]]

!![[Franchise/Mario]]

* BodyHorror: Once his mutation kicks in he turns into a horrific long-limbed abomination with a head like a gigantic cancerous growth mixed with a realistic dog's head.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Played with. When Goof is first seen in silhouette, he's depicted with his standard canon design. His next appearance has him drawn more in the comic's regular style. [[ZigZaggedTrope Or rather]], [[ArtEvolution what the comic's regular style was at the time]].

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Played with. When Goof is first seen in silhouette, he's depicted with his standard canon design. His next appearance has him drawn more in the comic's regular style.

* TheAgeless: The majority of Toons we see (and quite possibly all of them) are, based on some dialogue from Pops during Bugs and Scooby's first fight, ''one hundred years old'' at minimum.
* AnimatedActors: The cartoon shows these characters come from are revealed to be messages being broadcast from the Toons' home planet.

* AudienceSurrogate: Concepts like the Ballyhoo and the origin of the [[{{Toon}} Toons]] are introduced to the audience as Pops explains them to Shaggy. {{Justified|Trope}}, as Shaggy is amnesiac.

* BigGood: In the absence of Scoob, he seems to be the main commander of the Toon forces.

* MyGreatestFailure: It's implied that he regrets not investigating when Velma informs him of the transmission made by the Martians, [[spoiler:which allowed said Martians to locate and invade the Toons' homeworld]], in spite of the matter being above his pay-grade.

A Toon agent infiltrating the White House to prevent a nuclear launch.

A Toon agent who ends up being the one to find [[spoiler:Velm]] supposedly in Alaska.

A Toon agent who also a cyborg.

A Toon agent who's part of the R&D department.

The head commander of the Toons and the real Mickey Mouse.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: His ultimate goal, at least initially, was to stop the corruption Ballyhoo has had on the toons, saving his people from SanitySlippage and infighting. The way he insists on doing this, however, is by bringing Antihoo to people with Ballyhoo, calling it a "cleansing". Notably, this seems to exclude himself, as his original plan was to put himself in a protective stasis pod while leaving everyone else to the war that would break out. Episode #96's flashback shows that [[spoiler:his motivation currently is ''not'' to stop Antihoo, but to discover how to [[YinYangBomb control both Ballyhoo and Antihoo at the same time]], so that Toons can [[GodhoodSeeker become gods]]]].

A Toon claiming to be sent by Scoob to watch Shag's back after the TimeSkip. He got a bit more than he bargained for when taking on the job, [[TheMole or so he said.]]

A Toon who attacks Ger and the Inspector during the raid at the Alaska base.

A religious Toon monitoring the Alaska base who ambushes Dee and Dex.

* EgocentricallyReligious: Part of Foghorn's religious fervor is because he believes God gave him a Ballyhoo for a higher purpose. He even seems to view his attacks on other Toons as proof he's more deserving of His gifts than the others. Naturally, this makes him willingly blind to his own sins.

The invaders who nearly wiped out the Toons and chased them to Earth, and who now seek to crush the remaining resistance.

* TheHeavy: They're not the true {{Big Bad}}s -- Mick's the one truly causing the story's conflict -- but they're the main antagonistic force driving the plot and the primary foes that the toons face.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: They invaded after claiming to have been invaded themselves, evidently trying to fool the Toons into providing assistance, and Bugs fell for it -- it's implied the broadcast of the fake "invasion" was very convincing, however.

The ruler of the Martians, whose ambitions ultimately are what cause the surviving Toons to relocate to Earth.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Considering she's not a visible antagonist in the present, but the ruler of the Martians, her ambitions are ultimately what causes the entire plot to happen. [[spoiler:She's also apparently the direct catalyst for Mystery Inc. as a group getting stranded away from the rest of the surviving Toons.]]

* FallenHero: She used to be one of the greatest Commanders of the Toons. Now, she works for their enemies.

* HeelFaceTurn: Initially worked with the Martians to oppose the Toon forces trying to rescue Scoob, but after [[spoiler:Mickey's release]] she seems to have stopped directly opposing the Toons and is now convincing the Martians to go after their common enemy.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Out of all the introduced toons so far, [=SpongeBob=] is the closest to his original characterization, even talking about jellyfishing during the meeting concerning the Martians. Whether he was ''always'' like this, this being a result of the Ballyhoo SanitySlippage also known to be affecting three of his fellow Commanders, or both is unknown -- though his best friend, Patrick, isn't affected by this trope.

He's, well, the President of the United States of America. He's also one of the few only known people to show up on-screen who ''isn't'' a Toon.

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: A mixture of President Target and President Personable. Aside from Garfield holding him hostage, he is clearly a moral man who isn't exactly thrilled with the idea of nuking the Toons' ship despite the potential danger that could risk getting out.

* BigBrotherInstinct: They claim to have siblings, who are involved with the Toons somehow, and specifically choose to help Dee because she cares about her brother.

* MagicalEyeStreamers: Active Ballyhoo users are marked by streamers of wispy white energy trailing from their eyes, usually extending to and past the edge of the panel. [[spoiler: Anybody who's been touched by "Twilight" or one of their siblings gets a coloured trail, seemingly based off of old TV test patterns. Mickey's is red, Scoob's is cyan, while Dee and Bugs both appear to share magenta.]]

->'''Ballyhoo:''' Unknown, [[spoiler: potentially Jump Cut]]

* [[spoiler: DopplegangerGetsSameSentiment: Scoob at least seems to care for Shag just as much as for the original Shaggy, to the point of being willing to make a DealWithTheDevil to save him.]]

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Quite literally as in flashbacks he's shown to possess a Ballyhoo that's not shown on screen but his amnesia means that he doesn't remember how to activate it or what it does. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope The truth however]] is that he can't access his Ballyhoo because he's a clone of the original Shaggy and thus lacks access to Jump Cut, and won't have it until the previous clone is dead.]]

* TrueCompanions: Unsurprisingly with Scoob, to where he will lay down his life to save him. [[spoiler: By the TimeSkip though, they are uneasy terms as Shag fears that being a clone means he was just made to be a weapon and if Scoob really cares. As such, he has become semi-retired.]]

* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: Scoob made a deal with Illapa at some point after crashlanding on Earth to receive a fragment of Illapa's Blessing. Much, much later on, Scoob contacts Illapa again to receive his full blessing, in return for Scoob's allegiance in the future.]]

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: [[spoiler: Scooby received Blessing of Storm at some point after he and the rest of the Mystery Crew crash on Earth. Velma erasing everybody's memories means he's completely unaware of this until he first uses it to empower Shaggy.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Earlier comics have him screwing over Shaggy at various points for his own benefit. But he ''won't'' leave Shaggy to die in the ship. [[spoiler: His fight with Bugs proves he's got quite a bit more attachment to people than he even ''remembers''.]]
* LightningGun: With the [[spoiler: Blessing of Storm, Scoob's gun is upgraded into this which he uses against the Antihoo corrupted Ms Bellum.]]

* MysteriousPast: Even more than Shaggy. [[spoiler: He was a commander of the [[{{Toon}} Toons]] and was the one who saved them, but beyond that is a mystery.]] He doesn't seem to remember much about himself, and just barely manages to activate his Ballyhoo.

* WistfulAmnesia: [[spoiler: During his fight with his former friend Bugs Bunny, he hesitates multiple times and misses potential hits for reasons he tearfully admits he doesn't know, implied to be due to his amnesia. This actually rattles Bugs hard enough to get her to drop DeadAir for a moment]].

* AmbiguousSituation: Has yet to show up in flashbacks and is traditionally a live action character, leaving it unclear how he ended up with the rest of the cast. [[spoiler: It gets stranger when he shows up with Fred in the past, another character who is stated to be away from the ship but on Earth. #83 finally reveals the circumstances of his appearance.]]

* TheStoner: Was looking to get high when he meets Scoob and Shag, and later complains that Pop was holding out when Pop pulls out his pipe. [[spoiler: This is because when he first crashed on Earth he was given a blunt during his search for Scoob and it was the only thing he was holding after Velm Formatted his memories.]]

* BattleCouple: [[spoiler: He and Courage make a great team, pairing their Ballyhoos together spectacularly to fight the mind-controlled Pop, right as the audience is made aware of their relationship.]]
* FakingTheDead: Unintentionally. [[spoiler: Pat snatches him from Bugs the second before Dead Air would kill him, leaving the others convinced that he died.]]

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: He and Courage are revealed to have entered a 15 year relationship after Pat stranded the two in the past.]]

* TakingTheBullet: When Bugs charges at Shag with Dead Air active, Swipes jumps in front of him and takes the hit. [[spoiler: Luckily he survives.]]

* ThoseTwoGuys: He forms a pair of passive observers and comic relief guys with Courage. [[spoiler: [[RelationshipUpgrade They're even revealed to have started dating after their long stint in the past.]]]]

* BattleCouple: [[spoiler: He and Swipes have their relationship revealed to the audience as they work together to lay the smackdown on a mind-controlled Pop, using their Ballyhoos to expertly compliment each other.]]

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: Forms one with Swipes, after the two of them are stranded in the past by Pat with only each other for company.]]

* ThoseTwoGuys: He forms a pair of passive observers and comic relief guys with Swipes. [[spoiler: [[RelationshipUpgrade And a pair of boyfriends, it turns out.]]]]

* EyepatchAfterTimeSkip: In Part 2, she sports an eyepatch over her left eye, due to having lost it [[spoiler:during Mick's attack]] partway through Part 1.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Closed Caption can translate any language into English, [[spoiler: even the words of [[TheOldGods "Twilight"]],]] by manifesting subtitles in mid-air. It turns out that one of the "languages" that it can translate is InnerMonologue; this means that Dee can [[{{Telepathy}} literally read other people's minds]]. It eventually evolves to the point [[spoiler: that she can generate the captions as blunt force weapons against her enemies.]]

* ThemeNaming: '''Closed captions''' -- text that describes the audio present in a video, in case the audio is unavailable or the viewer is deaf. [[spoiler: After meeting "Twilight", she gains the ability to ''manifest'' captions--including sound effects--as physical objects.]]

A Toon agent who ends up being the one to find [[spoiler: Velm]] supposedly in Alaska.

* TyrantTakesTheHelm: During "News", [[spoiler: Mick announces that he has control over the Earth's governments and militaries and that humanity has no choice in the matter. It ends with Velm using Format, implying that Mick intended to have humanity's memories wiped.]]

** During "News", Mick claims [[spoiler: that his takeover of the Earth's government and militaries is for their own good. It's likely that Mick needs them in order to combat the Martians that have taken his home planet.]]

!![[Franchise/MickeyMouse "Mickey Mouse"]]/ [[spoiler: [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Norville "Shaggy" Rogers]]]]

* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear for most of the comic if he's ''actually'' Mickey Mouse. [[spoiler: He's not. He's ''another Shaggy''. Though this begs the question of if he's the original Shaggy or if he's another clone. It's later revealed that he is, in fact, a clone of the original Shaggy.]]
* CreepyGood: He's downright terrifying to look at, with a gruesome Ballyhoo, but appears to be fully on Scoob's side. [[spoiler: [[AmbiguouslyEvil Emphasis on]] [[EvilAllAlong "appears".]]]]
* CripplingOverspecialization: You'd think [[spoiler:having a powerful Ballyhoo like Jump Cut would make it trivial to defeat Shag, right? Nope. Turns out Protagonist!Shag is so used to fighting without a Ballyoo (and also good at running) that he is rather agile, whereas ''this'' Shag has gotten so reliant on Jump Cut and its instantaneous speed that his body movements have become significantly more sluggish, and the actual movements required to perform Jump Cut are easier to avoid than they should be, allowing his opponent to evade, get behind him, and retaliate.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: His costume hints at who his allegiance lies with.]]

* ThePigPen: While most characters in Scoob And Shag aren't exactly clean, Mick stands out for being near constantly coated in grime, blood and dirt. Even in his very first appearance, his clothes are tattered and torn. [[spoiler: He's hardly doing better under the mask, with quite a messy beard.]]

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: Flashbacks portray him as a dutiful, if quiet and unassuming, soldier under Scooby. Cloning seems to have turned him into a violent thug who treats his other clones as tools to dispose of.]] Oh, boy, it gets ''worse''. [[spoiler:He actually tried living a normal life for a while on Earth, and even got a girlfriend... only to be triggered by seeing a person in a Mickey Mouse costume, causing him to trigger Jump Cut and kill him by accident. Right in front of said girlfriend. As his life falls apart around him, he decides to take the costume for himself and goes off the deep end.]]

* BrilliantButLazy: Was noted to be like this by Arnold even before he got his Ballyhoo. [[spoiler: Arnold's death had him get rid of the lazy part]].

-->'''Scoob:''' [[spoiler: Mick]] ricked you recause you were relfish... And I'm rot rike you.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: He gets his arm, and most of his shoulder, ripped off by Dex for hurting Dee.]]

* AllYourPowersCombined: After her [[spoiler: rebirth as an Antihoo fusion monster, she's able to use her Ballyhoo in addition to Flap's Sharpness, Foghorn's Resolution and JFK's Satellite.]]
* BodyHorror: She's able to mind control Pop using a disgusting fleshy looking cable from her face, and her arms become fleshy tentacle-like veins when she [[spoiler: absorbs her fallen allies.]]

* FasterThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: Their fusion form is able to move quickly due to using Foghorn's Resolution to change the density of it's body.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: During Swiper and Courage's fight with her, Pop hallucinates them both as a singular Antihoo monster instead of two seperate ones. Later on, [[spoiler: she becomes a fusion Antihoo monster herself.]]

* HumanoidAbomination: While the other members at least can talk and seem to have some degree of humanity, Ms Bellum is a far more monstrous being whose appearance hides the sheer horror of her abilities. [[spoiler: Her Antihoo corrupted fusion form takes this to its logical conclusion and into borderline EldritchAbomination territory, being a monstrous fusion of herself and the corpses of her fallen allies which forces Scoob, Shag and Bugs to pull out all of the stops to defeat her.]]

* UncertainDoom: She only appears in flashbacks, and her fate after [[spoiler:derailing the spaceship she was on]] isn't made clear. [[spoiler: Given that Bugs mentions a Martian Queen (who she has to keep out of the loop to maintain the alliance with Scoob's faction) during the Alaska breakout, however, it's likely she's still alive, though it is still possible that she was succeeded by another queen.]]

* TheAtoner: She's allied with the Martians, but it's implied to be out of guilt that she couldn't save them [[spoiler: or anger that Mickey experimented on them]].

* HeelFaceTurn: Initially worked with the Martians to oppose the Toon forces trying to rescue Scoob, but after [[spoiler: Mickey's release]] she seems to have stopped directly opposing the Toons and is now convincing the Martians to go after their common enemy.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Chapter 100 shows that [[spoiler:she gained magenta eyes after the TimeSkip]].[[spoiler: This is later on revealed to be due to her gaining the blessing of "Twilight", which Dee also gets later on. In addition, her Dead Air has now changed from monochrome static to magenta static, matching her blessing color, just as Scoob's Channel energy and Dee's powered up Closed Captions match their own blessings.]]

* SplashOfColor: [[spoiler: Similarly to Mick, Scoob, and Dee, Bugs actually has coloration in her eyes post-time skip, being magenta due to her deriving her powers from Twilight's blessing, and her Dead Air changes to a magenta color to match.]]

* [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} Transgender]]: According to WordOfGod per their Instagram, Bugs is a trans woman post-[[TimeSkip Time Skip]], though she would at first appear to be an AttractiveBentGender or a WholesomeCrossdresser as a reference to some episodes of Looney Tunes where Bugs would dress as a woman to fool certain antagonists.

* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:"Mick" kills him]] in the middle of him stating his intention to warm Sam of the escaping Resistance members.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Fred is the only member of Mystery Inc she's still close to in the present. She doesn't approve of [[spoiler: the cloned]] Shag and is notably annoyed that Scoob still spends time with him. She was also completely disinterested in saving Velm from a prison site, and only helped save her by chance when looking for Fred. [[spoiler: Although Velm's mind-wiping certainly gives her reasons to be bitter.]]

->'''Ballyhoo:''' [[spoiler: Format]]

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: The torture she experienced at the Alaskan base eventually resulted in the loss of her foot.]]

* TheHeart: With the [[spoiler: original Shaggy presumed dead long before the comic's start]], Fred often puts in the most work to keep the tensions down in the aftermath. He's unfailingly kind to all members of the Mystery Inc, despite their [[TraumaCongaLine increasingly complicated history]], he brings out Daph's better nature by encouraging her to save various imprisoned Toones, and reaches out to Shag [[spoiler: despite knowing he's "just" a clone.]]

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: Flashbacks portray him as a dutiful, if quiet and unassuming, soldier under Scooby. cloning seems to have turned him into a violent thug who treats his other clones as tools to dispose of.]] Oh, boy, it gets ''worse''. [[spoiler:He actually tried living a normal life for a while on Earth, and even got a girlfriend... only to be triggered by seeing a person in a Mickey Mouse costume, causing him to trigger Jump Cut and kill him by accident. Right in front of said girlfriend. As his life falls apart around him, he decides to take the costume for himself and goes off the deep end.]]

Whether he was ''always'' like this or this was a result of the Ballyhoo SanitySlippage also known to be affecting three of his fellow Commanders is unknown -- though his best friend, Patrick, isn't affected by this trope.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:It took him a while to accept that he was born as a copy of Penny]]. By the time the story takes place, he seems to have adjusted pretty well.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler: As Shag, he appears to resent his clones and angrily kills them all violently. The event that leads to his life being ruined on Earth seems to lead him to conclude that as a Toone, he has no place on Earth, but in addition he seems to believe that as a copy of the original Shaggy, he shouldn't be allowed to exist.]]

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: Flashbacks portray him as a dutiful, if quiet and unassuming, soldier under Scooby. CloningBlues seems to have turned him into a violent thug who treats his other clones as tools to dispose of.]] Oh, boy, it gets ''worse''. [[spoiler:He actually tried living a normal life for a while on Earth, and even got a girlfriend... only to be triggered by seeing a person in a Mickey Mouse costume, causing him to trigger Jump Cut and kill him by accident. Right in front of said girlfriend. As his life falls apart around him, he decides to take the costume for himself and goes off the deep end.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: When talking with Scoob about siding with Commander One in exchange for the chance of reviving Arnold, Gerald justifies it by saying Commander One tricked him and asking if Scoob would've done the same for Shaggy. Scoob immediately shoots him down with this line:

* PeekABangs: Hides her entire face behind her frizzy hair when not using her Ballyhoo. [[FacialHorror This is for a VERY good reason.]]

* ThemeNaming: '''Screen burn-in''' -- a problem affecting older screens, caused by showing a still image for too long.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Fred is the only member of Mystery Inc she's still close to in the present. She doesn't approve of [[spoiler: the cloned]] Shag and is notably annoyed that Scoob still spends time with him. She was also completely disinterested in saving Velm from a prison site, and only helped save her by chance when looking for Fred. [[spoiler: Although Velm's mind-wiping certainly gives her reasons to be bitter.</small>]

* StockShonenHero: The Desert King's general personality is like that of a Shounen hero. Why his clones do not act the same way is unknown. Daphne saying that 'they could never get the look in (the clone Shaggy's) eye right' implies it may be some sort of flaw in the cloning process.
