- —Megamind
Megamind[Note 1] is the main protagonist of the Megamind series. He will appear in an upcoming episode of Death Battle, Gru VS Megamind, where he will fight against Felonious Gru from the Despicable Me series.
History
As only an eight-day-old infant, Megamind's planet was on the verge of total destruction by a black hole, although his parents were able to safely send him to Earth in a rocket ship along with his companion Minion. It just so happened that at the exact same time, the child Metro Man from a neighboring planet was going through the exact same thing. They both ended up in Metro City, but while Metro Man landed in a manor, Megamind landed in a prison. There, its prisoners taught him all the wrong lessons about what was right, turning him into a registered criminal as just a toddler. Despite this, Megamind still had a pure heart and genuinely wanted to do good for everyone. However, when he and Metro Man were at school together, his rival was always praised for his extraordinary powers, while he was constantly shunned for his inventions that always went awry. Megamind learned from these experiences and came to a decision: if the city expected him to be nothing but bad, then he would be exactly that.
Growing up, he became Metro City's supervillain, constantly butting heads with his eternal rival, who was now its greatest defender. But while Megamind would always be foiled in his plans to take over the city or kidnap Roxanne Ritchi, one day, to everyone's surprise, including his own, he seemingly managed to successfully kill Metro Man. Afterward, he wasted no time in taking over the city, but he soon found that without Metro Man to stop him, being evil was... boring. To fix this, he created a hero named Tighten to be his new rival. But like always, things went wrong, and Tighten instead ended up becoming a worse villain than Megamind ever was. After learning Metro Man was alive but unwilling to help, along with being encouraged by his newfound love for Roxie, Megamind stepped up to be the good guy for once, defeating Tighten and becoming Metro City's new defender and hero. And not just any hero, but a super one.
