Professor Friedrich Von Schlitz is a Nazi Mad Scientist and the face of the Third Reich. Even before his formal introduction as a villain he's suspected, and later confirmed, to have engineered a terrorist attack on an American-made zeppelin, having it hijacked and set to crash into Toronto as revenge against the theft of an invention of his, even excusing it as "an act of justified retribution for an insult against all of Germany". Von Schlitz's research frequently creates powerful weapons of war the Nazis use to kill countless people in their war effort. Von Schlitz is also behind a plot that killed most of Canada's masked heroes as well as the Red Ensign's wife. Gleeful at the thought of hurting others for even minor slights, Von Schlitz is also a coward who begs for his life and eventually joins the allies in fighting Germany, hoping to corrupt the US from the inside. Cajoling the Red Ensign into attacking him so he can gain more privileges, Von Schlitz uses those privileges to dismantle the hero to learn how he works.
Professor Zombie, real name Antonia Zombanistro, commits her crimes by zombifying people to use as her muscle through Necronium 234, a compound of her own creation. She hits her stride when she launches a campaign of vengeance against the Red Panda, blaming him for her becoming zombified by her Necronium and seeking to kill and zombify all of the city of Toronto, invoking the very apocalypse she once helped prevent. She makes multiple attempts to hit as large a group as possible; converting her Necronium into a street drug, trying to gas a huge crowd of parade watchers, or introducing Necronium into the water supply. Once the Red Panda figured out how to reverse the zombification and thwarts her plans, Zombie rejects the Panda's efforts to save her, destroying a critical part of the cure and forcing the Red Panda to destroy her for good, as she's determined to succeed, and she makes clear she only has to win once for him to lose everything.
Fan Nickname: Most fans call the original Red Panda six part mini-series and everything related to it Earth 2.
Fridge Logic: Baboon McSmoothie is able to establish his bona fides as an agent of the alternate universe Red Panda by giving the RPA Red Panda a sealed envelope which contains RP’s real name. Great – except that one of the major distinguishing characteristics of the alternate universe is that everyone’s name is different from that of their counterpart! Most, such as McSmoothie's own, are quite silly as well. This observation leads directly to -
Actually, it would be hard to make the name August Fenwick sillier than it already is.
Harsher in Hindsight: A running gag throughout Season 6 has the Red Panda planting false biographies in government files, to prevent knowledge of his secret identity from spreading. The faked backgrounds include everything from him being a reformed gangster or a World War I pilot who faked his death, to a ghost or a robot, to his own commanding officer. That last one suddenly gets a lot less funny as of "There Will Be Rain Tonight", when said commander is shot and killed by a spy who had obtained a copy of the files with the fake background, as part of a purge of the entire Home Team.
Hilarious in Hindsight: In "Girls' Night Out", the Red Panda and Flying Squirrel are discussing the fake biographies of the Red Panda they've been planting in the Home Team files. The Red Panda makes an offhand reference to one that says he's a robot, but Kit laughs and says they can't use that one because no one would believe it. Cut to Season 7: While the Red Panda is MIA, his superhero identity is taken up by John Doe, who happens to be... a robot.
