The Cast
Meet our heroes - I mean, villains! The Maleficent Seven are some of the most talented students Gladstone's has to offer, and some of the most ambitious. Together they uncover earth-shattering secrets, take on powerful foes, and try to save the universe from certain destruction at the hands of a celestial being - all without their parents finding out.
Kid Nefarious
A legacy supervillain with the power of darkness, Kid Nefarious is as hot-headed as he is skilled—but living up to his legendary family’s reputation of evil is proving to be a challenge. Kid Nefarious is the leader of his team of friends, the Maleficent Seven, and relies on his extraordinary powers of magic and will to defeat his enemies.
Ghost Girl
Ghost Girl is a pretty normal girl…except for the whole ghostly superpowers thing. Her powers allow her to enter minds, raise armies, and control ghostly warriors. She’s bubbly, enthusiastic, and capable of breaking into a powerful madman’s head to do battle with him on the spiritual plane. Ghost Girl is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Mummy Girl
Smart, cool-headed, and prone to daydreaming about her crush, Kid Nefarious, Mummy Girl calls upon ancient powers to get the job done. Her greatest weapons are her bandages, her magic, and her mind. While she’s more collected than the rest of her team, that doesn’t mean she hides in the shadows.From collecting outlawed superhero/villain comic books to stealing back a family heirloom held in the Superhero Archives, Mayet is full of surprises.
Martian Jones
Martian Jones is a science supervillain with a knack for gadgets, gizmos, and plotting. With an army’s worth of first-rate technology at his back and a head full of plots, plans, and ideas, Martian Jones will face off against anyone if he has his team at his back—even one of the most dangerous criminals in the cosmos.
Skull Brothers
The Skull Brothers are the first to learn that the world of supervillainy isn’t what it seems and the first to be drawn in to the murky machinations of supervillains and superheroes alike. They’re willing to do anything to avenge their father’s death and restore honor to their mother’s name, even if it means betraying their own kind.
Speed Spectre
Speed Specter’s mind is as fast as his feet. A true supervillain in the making, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get his way, even blackmail. He’s cocky, too, but with good reason: Speed Specter’s quickness and smarts mean he can go toe-to-toe with some of the baddest villains in the business—even Mars’ most wanted himself.
Man 'o' War
Need someone to bring out the big guns? Man o’ War’s on the job. A true powerhouse who’s always accompanied by a giant man o’ war jellyfish, Man o’War knows how to make every hit count. He knows when and where he’s needed and isn’t afraid to step up to the plate, even if it means traveling across the cosmos to stop a sun-eating serpent or going to Mars to face off with an all-powerful madman.
Scorpio Kane
Scorpio Kane has earned his place at the top of Mars’ most wanted list, but he won’t stop there: Kane is determined to use ambrosia stones, famed for amplifying power, to become King of the Cosmos by any means necessary. He’s kidnapped Martians and put them to work in ambrosia mines to achieve his goals, but when he faces off against the Maleficent Seven, he may find his dreams just out of reach.
Shiran
Shiran is a giant celestial serpent who appears once every twenty years to make an attempt to eat the sun—and to do battle with the superhero Red Storm Breaker, Shiran’s fated nemesis. Red Storm Breaker has defeated Shiran every time, but when he meets an untimely demise, Shiran may just achieve its eternal goal.
Faculty
Ashu Gladstone, founder of Gladstone’s School for World Conquerors, had a motto: “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.” Luckily for him, that was before two of the most accomplished, powerful supervillains of all time—Ironsides and Greensleeves—joined Gladstone’s staff. Now Principle Ironsides guides the students at Gladstone’s down their path to become the greatest supervillains the world has ever seen—and uses his office hours to make sure every supervillain’s biggest secret is kept under wraps.
