Drex Stinklebaum is the main antagonist of Henry Danger franchise.
He is the former sidekick of Ray Manchester/Captain Man, before Henry Hart/Kid Danger. The powerful Drex turned to a life of crime, becoming the greatest threat the heroes have ever faced as their longtime nemesis. He is the only villain who has succeeded in nearly all of their goals. This headstrong supervillain is Henry Hart/Kid Danger's archenemy.
Throughout the years, he would develop a hatred for Captain Man and swear vengeance on him and his new sidekick and his new archenemy/rival Kid Danger. He also gained super-powers in his own right and hoped to surpass his mentor, Captain Man as an equal and be a formidable opponent for his rival Kid Danger, as well as destroy those who stand in the way of his goals.
Biography[]
Past[]
Drex was Ray Manchester's/Captain Man's original sidekick, working with him only for a few months, nine years before Henry Danger took place, however, Ray said they never fought crime together, either due to Ray's refusal, or that the opportunity didn't present itself to Drex, despite the fact he was his sidekick. Whether "Drex" is his real name or a secret identity is unknown. He seems to be an expert at setting up booby traps, as they are always undetected by the Man Cave's gadgets.
When Drex became a criminal, because of his extensive training under Captain Man's wing, he was nearly too powerful for even the Captain himself to stop him. But somehow, he was defeated and soon arrested before spending time in prison until many years later. Drex's personal grudge and desire to kill Captain Man went far as he froze himself and waiting a hundred million years and went back in time to make sure Ray was never indestructible.
He also hopes to surpass and replace his mentor for his own goals, going as far as denying him the day he received his powers and Drex getting them instead. He has ultimately proven that he seeks to erase Ray/Captain Man from existence and wipe the memory of Swellview's citizens from ever knowing their true savior.
Henry Danger[]
Hour of Power[]
Drex was the sidekick of Captain Man about nine years before he became a criminal. Ray stated he didn't let Drex fight crime despite the fact he was his sidekick. Captain Man even states that Drex could have killed him if he was never indestructible. Later Drex was arrested and put in prison.
It was Bring Your Daughter To Work Day at Swellview prison, and one girl accidentally released Drex and blamed on her age and that she didn't know any better. Drex meets Henry (Kid Danger) and Ray (Captain Man) in Schneider's Bakery where he beats up two criminals, traps Ray in an unbreakable helmet made of Neutronium and his hand in a wooden box, and humiliates Kid Danger by spanking him and singing a song that parodies "Oh Da Doo Dah Day". Later he comes to Junk and Stuff to find where the Man Cave is and Jasper tricks him into taking him to the playground. Fortunately, Kid Danger is able to defeat Drex with his new superpower (super fast reflexes) before Jasper gets hurt and humiliates Drex the way Drex humiliated him at the bakery. Schwoz blasts Drex with a beam that leaves him braindead, and he is brought to the Man Cave where Henry is on the news spanking Drex. The episode concludes with Captain Man, Henry, Jasper, Charlotte, and Schwoz singing around Drex.
Back To The Danger Part 1 & 2[]
While still being contained in a storage room for the past year. Drex escapes the containment unit when Vice Mayor Willard announces a 10-second power outage. Jasper shoots silly string at Drex, who escapes and crushes the can with his hand. Drex traps Jasper in duct tape and uses the Time Jerker's Time Portal to go back in time to stop Captain Man from becoming indestructible. He also sets one of the blasters he stole on a timer and points it at the portal to self-destruct. Henry and Ray go down to the storage room and try to stop Drex. However, Drex jumps through the time machine. Henry and Ray follow him through the machine, as the large blaster Drex had set up fires at the time machine, destroying it.
The heroes see Drex nearby buying a snow cone, and they are about to apprehend him, but they're stopped by security. Henry and Ray bring the officers behind bushes and knock them out, but when they return, they see that Drex has left to get to Glass Tech.
Drex dresses as a scientist and stops Ray from becoming indestructible at age 8. Drex used the Densitizer to become indestructible himself. It works, however, the side effect turned his left hand into a monster hand with sharp claws. After defeating Henry and the now destructible Ray, Drex destroys the Densitizer with the blue laser gun he stole and attempts to destroy Ray and Henry, but the heroes are brought back through time and Schwoz tells them that as long the time portal is activated, the changes made in the past or future will not affect the present. Captain Man and Kid Danger (who are 20 minutes older) travel back to before Drex became indestructible, but they were too late. They warn themselves to save Carl and everyone in the building. Drex becomes confused at this ordeal; but his goal is the same. They succeed in making Ray a superhero again. Captain Man and Kid Danger are sent back to the Man Cave, where Drex is trapped in time prison. To make sure he will never be seen again, Captain Man and Kid Danger send Drex 100 million years into the past, getting him out of their hair once and for all.
Return[]
Due to the heroes changing the timeline, Drex survives from the Cretaceous period well into the Ice Age, where he froze himself and was discovered years later by S. Thompson on cold Mount Swellview.
S. Thompson was showing Mrs. Shapen where Drex was but he escaped and scared them off.
At Swellview Mountain, he meets Bigfoot, who was using his hairdryer to defrosting a caveman. Drex had been using Bigfoot's electric generator, so Bigfoot lets Drex know that.
However, Drex reacts by making a threatening gesture that he was going to hit him. Bigfoot does not fear him and even mocks him, but when a group of cavemen appears unexpectedly, he decides to just leave the place.
Fran meets Drex in a bathroom at the Nacho Ball. He was with two cavemen finishing up his look. Fran tells Drex that she was in a hurry to use the bathroom, so Drex and the cavemen leave.
The Beginning of the End[]
Making his striking comeback, the former sidekick turned villain surprised Captain Man by setting up a trap in the Man Cave, leaving him tangled in a vine and knocking out Schwoz and Bose with his stun laser he quickly stole from Ray's belt after capturing them.
Captain Drex[]
Drex has tied up Captain Man, Bose, and Schwoz in the Man Cave. They ask how he was ablesent him 100 million years in the past. Drex explains that he had frozen himself and waited until climate change thawed him out. He had an army of cavemen that he had trained to hate Captain Man and Kid Danger by blaming every bad thing that happened to them. Schwoz accidentally blurts out that Drex can send Ray 100 million years into the past just like he and Henry did to him, causing Drex to think of ways to get revenge on them.
At the Man Cave, Drex is trying to think of ways to get his revenge on Captain Man. He then gets the memory wiper and challenges Schwoz to modify it so that it would work on everyone in Swellview. Offended, Schwoz accepts the challenge. Kid Danger arrives in his uniform and easily takes out Drex's Cavemen. Drex zaps Kid Danger with a laser gun, and he falls to the ground, and Drex orders the cavemen to sit on him.
Schwoz comes out with the upgraded and new memory device capable of wiping the memories of everyone in Swellview. Schwoz then accidentally reveals that the memory wiper would only work if it were attached to an aircraft, like a plane or a helicopter. Schwoz refuses to help Drex further until he took Bose as a hostage. Drex explains his plan: he would erase everyone’s memories of Captain Man in Swellview so that no one would remember who he was. Then, Drex would take a gumball and become the new Captain Man. Kid Danger tries to fight him, but due to the loss of his superpowers a year back and thanks to his indestructibility his easily defeats him. Drex takes the Time Ray and zaps Captain Man back in time one hundred million and one years ago. He takes the memory wiper in order to tarnish the town's memory of Captain Man. Drex then takes Bose as a hostage so that Schwoz can help him operate the Memory Wiper.
The Fate of Danger Part 1 & 2[]
Drex is at Planes-a-Plenty, trying to get a flying vehicle that can get him into the sky. However, the employee there says they don’t have any planes since it was planes graduation they were all in the sky, but they have a blimp, and they needed to wait for the blimp to be inflated, much to Schwoz and Bose's amusement and Drex's disappointment. Sleeping for hours as they waited for the blimp to be inflated, the employee notified Drex his blimp was ready to board. Miles, Mika, and Chapa decide to go to Planes-a-Plenty to try and stop Drex from executing his evil plan (with Bose helping them) but all four of them were easily defeated.
Drex tied up Schwoz and the kids. Captain Man and Kid Danger drop down via the helicopter. Drex is surprised to see Captain Man back in the present, but the latter walks past him to scold the kids for disobeying his orders to go home but is happy that they can see him and Kid Danger beat Drex. When Drex asks how when he's indestructible Captain Man reveals he was distracting him from Kid Danger preparing the Omega Weapon. Kid Danger is about to shoot Drex with the Omega Weapon, but a caveman tackles him. The kids and Schwoz break free, and they fight the cavemen as Captain Man fights Drex. Kid Danger gets the Omega Weapon, and Captain Man orders him to shoot. Kid Danger objects, saying he would be taking Captain Man’s indestructibility along with Drex’s. Captain Man tells him to do it anyway, and Kid Danger fires the weapon. Drex and Captain Man are blasted back, and neither are indestructible anymore; however, his deformed claw hand from before the transformation remains. Drex gets on the blimp to fly away and erase everyone’s memories of Captain Man.
Kid Danger and Captain Man go after Drex by paragliding toward his blimp. They land on top and begin to fight Drex. Captain Man realizes that the fight on the blimp is his perfect fight with him fighting with him and Dwayne fighting the Bad Guy. As they take down Drex, Henry knocks the Memory Wiper off the blimp destroying it as it falls down a thousand feet. Miles then appears, with one of his cavemen, as he discovers he can teleport. This distracts them allowing him to knock Kid Danger nearly off and allowed him to gained the upper hand against Captain Man. Drex throws Captain Man off of the blimp. Kid Danger then tackles Drex, but was easily beaten because he doesn't have his super-fast reflexes and with half his mask ripped off. Captain Man soon arrives back onto the blimp, having caught the drone Jasper sent up. Captain Man throws Drex off the blimp, as he struggles to grab on using his claw-hand and tears a hole in it, before falling down a thousand feet to his death. However, Jasper caught Drex with the drone and sent him straight to jail before he could hit the ground.
Danger Force[]
An Imposter Among Us[]
Drex first appears when Rick Twitler in Mika's body encountered Drex, Chest Monster, and Tiny Ray in a cell. Drex, Tiny Ray, and Chest Monster discovered that Rick was inside Mika controlling her and Drex argued with Rick about who was Captain Man's arch-enemy. Rick explains his master plan of how he used the video game to control Mika and planned to follow his plan to leave all of Swellview in darkness. Rick went through with his plan to fool the Danger Force by leaving Drex, Chest Monster and Tiny Ray locked up.
A Danger Among Us[]
When Ray and Chapa were hunting the other members of the Danger force, Drex offered to help, but Ray rejects Drex's help using a baby voice, revealing that Drex hates it when people talk in baby voice. Drex threatens to rip his tongue out if he continues to speak in a baby voice, but can't because he was in a cell. Later, when the Danger Force discovers that the helper monkey has Rick's conscience, they followed him to the room where Drex was being held, but the room was dark, when Mika asked "Wait, Drex is locked here? ", Drex, now released from the cell turns on the light and says "I was." Drex manages to trap Ray in the cell and starts running the members of Danger Force who were. Drex runs to the main room and Mika arrives there with a baby voice and ends up defeating him and he along with Ray and Danger Force are sent into space by the Cyborg Rick.
A Cyborg Among Us[]
Drex was tied to Volt's chair, mocking Captain Man. So when the Man's Nest was almost colliding with the satellite where Rick's virus was, Captain Man suggests using Drex to not destroy the Man's Nest since Drex is indestructible. He asked Mika saying she was "The Nice One" but she refuses. When Drex crashes into the satellite, he gets infected by the virus and starts infecting Captain Man, ShoutOut, Volt and Schwoz. After Volt has eliminated the virus from those infected with its rays, Drex, along with Mika and Chapa, is taken by Cyborg Rick to an unknown place.
A Henry Among Us[]
Drex goes to a tower where Rick held Volt and ShoutOut captive. Drex threatens Twitler into throwing him out of the tower, but stopped when Twitler convinces him to spare his life if he helps him get revenge on Henry. Drex ambushes Captain Man, Henry, Brainstorm and AWOL and has a brawl with them. Drex is about to scratch Captain Man's face like he did in the blimp, but is surprised that he is indestructible again, allowing Captain Man to knock him out cold. A brainwashed ShoutOut and Volt knock Captain Man, Henry, AWOL and Brainstorm unconscious and take Henry and Drex to the tower. When they take Henry to the tower and use his force field power and use it in he new plan to control the internet, Captain Man, Brainstorm and AWOL rescue Henry. They battle and get kicked by Brainstorm. Captain Man finally frees Henry and begins to battle Drex and Rick. Henry later throws Drex off the tower. It is told by Schwoz that Drex is no longer in Swellview and is finally defeated. However they are all still worried that Drex was still free. Henry figured out that Drex could be anywhere in town or Dystopia. Henry agreed to take care of Drex and before leaving, shared a hug with Captain Man. When Twitler's robot body escaped, Schwoz began to chase him while the Danger Force laughed and Henry was nostalgic for the old days before leaving for Dystopia.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Indestructibility: Goes back in time to the very spot younger Ray became indestructible. Drex was able to withstand Henry's punches with and without his Hyper motility but he can still be knocked down by beings (like Captain Man) who is stronger than him and his powers can be drained by the Omega Weapon. At After being blast with the Omega Weapon Drex lost his indestructibility but still had his left monster hand. However, Drex regains his indestructibility confirmed in An Cyborg Among Us . It was shown that he can now feel pain and no longer has invincibility to pain as able to knockdown/out by Henry and the rest of Danger Force.
- Left Clawed Monster Hand: After becoming indestructible, there was, unfortunately, a side effect which his left hand became a monstrous lizard hand/paw with sharp claws that can hurt normal beings. Even after the Omega Weapon blasted him he still had it. This led to his downfall during his final battle when Ray kicked him off the blimp, he attempted to hold on but cut a hole in the Blimp and ended up falling a thousand feet (he would of died if Jasper didn't caught him with his drone).
- Super-Strength: Even before he was indestructible, Drex was also abnormally/superhumanly strong for a regular human, as shown when he smashes through the Junk N' Stuff door, destroyed one of the tables in Junk-in-Stuff, broke the Time Ray with his bare hands, and easily lifted Henry off the ground during their fights,. It is known that his physical strength surpasses Kid Danger’s, and Drex's physical strength rivals Captain Man even before he became indestructible, so when Drex became indestructible he likely becomes just as strong than Captain Man.
- High Pain Tolerance: Even when he was not indestructible, Drex supported rather easily the attacks of his enemies, as shown when one of the robbers punched him and when Jasper punched him, he showed no sign of pain. Despite this Drex is not fully indestructible as Ray, as Henry was able to use his Hyper-Motility to enhance his own physical strength to knock Drex down until he became indestructible combining them make him almost unstoppable and immune to pain. He seems to lose this physical ability after he was shot with the Omega Weapon as he was punched down by Kid Danger and felt pain, but it's likely Drex isn't durable enough to withstand hits from people who rival or surpass his strength, suggesting Kid Danger rivals his abilities and Captain Man surpasses his strength. Even after regaining his indestructible he was able to feel pain he took blows Henry and Danger Force and was in pain.
- High Intelligence: Drex seems to be an expert at setting up booby traps that none of Captain Man's gadgets can't detect, has some stealth skills to sneak up or pass people without them noticing, puts what people loves against them, can speak and understand cavemen, successfully gather an army of Cavemen by manipulating and lying to them about Captain Man and Kid Danger being the cause of all the bad things that happen to them, and even tricked Schwoz into upgrading the memory wiper to erase an entire city's memory. A great example of his intelligence is he was smart enough to freeze himself on a glacier on top of Mount. Swellview and wait for climate change to thaw him and his cavemen out.
- Superior Fighting Abilities: Even before he was indestructible, Ray stated that Drex was a more skilled fighter than him, as he was trained by Captain Man himself and almost killed Ray if he wasn’t indestructible. After his accidentally jail break-out, he knocked out two bandits with ease and was able to stand up to Ray and Henry in combat taking them both at the same time both while being indestructible and later holding his own against them when he wasn't indestructible anymore. This, combined with his indestructibility, makes Drex the most dangerous foe the heroes have ever faced. However by the time in Danger Force in A Danger Among Us, all four members of Danger Force were able to take on and defeat the elite fighter Drex. Although, Drex had been neglecting his exercise routine for a year due to being locked in a small prison cell in the Man’s Nest.
- Time Travel (briefly): Using the Time Jerker's Time Machine, Drex traveled to 1989 to prevent Ray from becoming indestructible. He set one of the Laser Guns he stole from the Man-Cave to face the portal for it to self-destruct. However, Schwoz, Charlotte, and Jasper were able to fix it and pick Ray and Henry up before Drex destroyed them. In Captain Drex, Drex used the Time Ray to send Ray 101 million years into the past and destroyed it so Henry wouldn't use it to get Ray back.
Trivia[]
- It is surprising that Drex was arrested, as the police ran away from him in fear as soon as they saw him because he was too dangerous to be apprehended. That and the police of Swellview are pretty awful at their jobs.
- The song Drex used to humiliate Kid Danger parodies the song "Camptown Races".
- Drex is easily the darkest villain on the show since he used the Time Jerker's Time Machine/Portal to go back to when Ray became indestructible, and tried to prevent Ray from getting densitized, preventing him from becoming a superhero, and putting the entire city in danger, and free for the villains to take over.
- He also has no redeeming qualities, has a vicious and evil personality, and is likely, the evilest and most powerful villain Kid Danger and Captain Man have ever faced. With Ray even admitting that he would have been killed by him if he was not indestructible. He is also the only villain to succeed in nearly all of his goals.
