Megamind is an alien refugee from the Glaupunk Quadrant, a reformed super-villain, and the current Defender of Metro City. He is the main protagonist of Megamind. He’s also the last known member of his race. Eight days after his birth, his home planet was destroyed by a black hole. Before the planet was absorbed, Megamind's parents sent him off the planet in an escape pod with his caretaker, Minion, to Earth.

History

Background

Megamind (his birth name remains unknown) was born to his unnamedparents in his home planet. Eight days after Megamind's birth, the planet was destroyed by a black hole but he was able to survive thanks to his parents, who packed him in a escape pod with Minion and his binky and sent him off the planet. This makes Megamind and Minion the sole survivors of their planet.

On his way to Earth, he met an infant Metro Man, who was sent off of a neighboring planet in a golden and better built escape pod. The infant Metro Man blew a raspberry at Megamind after the latter got out of an asteroid belt his pod got trapped in. With that, Megamind and Metro Man's "glorious rivalry" was born.

Megamind crash lands in the Prison for the Criminally Gifted at Metro City due to Metro Man's pod knocking his own away from the Scott Manor. The inmates raised him and educated him into villainy. At some point in his childhood he was allowed to go to a normal school, were he became a neglected outcast due to his destructive intellect. Realizing that he’s only gifted in causing trouble and jealous of all the attention and praise the young Metro Man received, Megamind accepted his destiny and created a blue paint blast at school Metro Man, resulting in his expulsion and return to prison. Megamind, with the aid of Minion, developed various nefarious plots, coming up with his own nickname "Megamind" at some point. He faced countless defeats, though he claims he nearly prevailed in some of them.

During his latest attempt to defeat Metro Man, Megamind has Minion mail a holographic watch to the prison and abduct Roxanne once again. The watch projects his own hologram over the Warden, who was in turn mistakenly thrown into confinement by his own guards. Megamind takes advantage of the commotion and escapes in guise of the Warden with the watch as Minion retrieves him.

When Metro Man is then seemingly killed by the death-ray, Megamind is initially thrilled that he has defeated his archenemy, and he proceeds to live the criminal dream life, taking over town hall and plundering the city. However, he soon grows depressed over the fact that without someone to fight, his life as a supervillain no longer has any purpose.

Megamind runs into a museum curator named Bernard while destroying the Metro Man Museum and trying to avoid Roxanne, disguises himself as him, dehydrating and pocketing the real Bernard. Roxanne inadvertently inspires him to create a new superhero to fight, which he does using a serum of Metro Man's DNA. Hoping to uncover any evil plans Megamind has for the city, Roxanne breaks into Megamind's lair and fights with him over a syringe gun containing the serum, which is accidentally fired and injected into Roxanne's cameraman, named Hal Stewart. Megamind then manipulates Hal into becoming a superhero named Titan under the disguise of being his "space dad", but at the same time falls in love with Roxanne and begins dating her while disguised as Bernard, even sharing some of his own past (although still disguised) with her.

Megamind soon begins having second thoughts about being a villain, finding more enjoyment pursuing a relationship with Roxanne. Minion discovers this relationship and, worrying for his master's safety, quarrels with Megamind over it, claiming that "the bad guy doesn't get the girl!". Frustrated, Megamind claims that he doesn't want to be the bad guy anymore. He tells Minion to go and that he doesn't need him, causing their long friendship to appear irreparably lost.

After Roxanne kisses "Bernard" on a date, Megamind's identity is accidentally exposed, causing Roxanne (who cannot reconcile his true emotional nature with his past evil deeds) to reject him. Heartbroken, Megamind follows through with his plan to fight Tighten. He prepares a large battle mech, puts on an elaborate cape (torn up in Megamind: The Series), -called "The Black Mamba"- Minion made for him before their quarrel, and makes a grand appearance in the town plaza. He ends up spending most of the day there waiting for Tighten to show up, before going to his apartment. By this time, Tighten has decided he would rather be a supervillain. Disgusted, Megamind provokes Tighten by revealing he is both the "space dad" and Bernard. Utterly furious at the fact that Megamind was the "intellectual dweeb" who got Roxanne's affections, Hal attacks with a vengeance, however unlike Metro Man, has no qualms with outright killing Megamind, and Megamind is forced to flee for his life.

During the battle, Megamind attacks Tighten with a copper sphere, but is shocked to see Tighten escape it with ease. Confused and shocked about this inconsistency, Megamind convinces Roxanne to search for clues about his weaknesses in Metro Man's old hideout-which turns out to be the school where both Metro Man and Megamind went as children. There, they discover that Metro Man is still alive and learn that he faked his death (and his weakness to copper) so that he could retire from being a superhero.

Megamind and Roxanne try to persuade Metro Man to defeat Tighten, but he refuses. Roxanne and Metro Man instead prompt Megamind to fight, but he also refuses, still believing himself unworthy of assuming the hero role, and leaves to turn himself in to the prison that was his home since childhood. However, when Tighten abducts and threatens to kill Roxanne, Megamind appeals to the Warden to release him. When the warden adamantly refuses, Megamind acknowledges his distrust but pleads for the chance. The Warden reveals himself to be Minion in disguise, having learned of Tighten's rampage earlier on and tied up the real Warden. Megamind reconciles with Minion, and they set off for the final showdown.

While Minion poses as Megamind, the real Megamind disguises himself as Metro Man, and slices a bus thrown at Roxanne by Tighten. He chases off Tighten and returns. However, he is given away by his pronunciation of "Metro City" and Roxanne disabling his hologram. Tighten reappears and easily bests Megamind with his superpowers, but Roxanne spots the invisible car during the crossfire and eventually tips off Megamind. He tries to reach the vehicle, but Tighten shoots off his jetpack with the laser, then grabs him by the cape. Megamind reiterates the fact Tighten was only made as a hero to his own purpose, until Tighten messed things up himself. Tighten punches Megamind, conveniently placing him near the invisible car and allowing him to retrieve the Defuser Gun. Megamind then scarcastically curses Minion, swearing to kill him if Megamind himself lives. Tighten busts the door open, though Megamind was already clinging on the door until the optical camouflage wears off. After taunting Tighten by silently pushing the lock pin, Tighten throws the door with Megamind into the air. As he contemplates his doom, Megamind suddenly figures out how to save himself with the fountain below him, and presumably shoots himself with the De-Gun. Before Tighten can kill Roxanne, the De-Gun lands inside the pool, followed by a dehydrated Megamind who then materializes. He catches his Defuser Gun and taunts Tighten, using this opportunity to extract his superpowers, before remarking how "bad guys always lose", referencing his own history. Megamind then corrects Roxanne that while he won for once, he was intent on saving her anyways, and they embrace. He then sees to Minion, and they have a short exchange regarding their victory as Megamind also thanks Minion for his help. Minion appears to die, but is soon revived when Megamind, annoyed at his acting, throws Minion into the fountain. He then jokes about Minion's smiling face as everyone rejoices. However, Megamind suddenly turns hostile and points his Defuser Gun at everyone, demanding them to back off. Roxanne tries to explain that he is not used to "positive feedback".

Megamind presumably ordered his Brainbots to start the reconstruction of the Metro Tower.

At the grand opening of the Megamind Museum, Megamind makes his grand entry in a similar fashion to Metro Man, blasting the brick wall with his De-Gun and yelling the same catchphrase, though he also jokingly asks for their wallets before clarifying that. Roxanne hugs him, and gives him the white cape they've found at Metro Man's hideout. Megamind then destroys the blue ribbon and unveils his marble statue, and his rebuilt battle suit with Minion operating it. He orders Minion to play Michael Jackson's "Bad" and dances with Roxanne as the film cuts to a close.  

Appearance

Megamind has blue skin with pink accents at his ears, cheeks and lips, a large head, a very slim body, big grass-green eyes and a black goatee. As a baby, he wore a dark blue onepiece with a light blue bolt on it until he grew older and had to wear a neon orange prison jumpsuit like the other inmates. His regular outfit consists on a black skin-tight leather suit with a blue bolt in the chest, black custom baby seal leather boots, black gloves with spikes and a high-collared black cape with spikes on the shoulder pads. His nightwear consists on dark blue pajamas with biohazard symbols on it and fuzzy bat slippers. He takes Metro Man's white cape with him after finding his secret hideout and is seen wearing it at the end of the movie.

In Megamind: The Button of Doom, he made himself a new superhero suit similar to Metro Man's until Minion convinced him that he didn't need to imitate Metro Man to be the city's new defender and went back to wear his old black suit and cape.

Abilities

As opposed to Metro Man/Tighten and highlighted by his nickname, Megamind lacks superpowers. Instead, he relies on his intellect to plan his crimes or to engineer various advanced contraptions that aid him in action.


Personality

Megamind spent most of his childhood in the company of felons and wasn't popular at school due to Metro Man stealing the show most of the time. This epiphany led to Megamind concluding he's better at being evil. He dedicated many years to be a proper rival to the super-powered hero, Metro Man. In almost every one of Megamind’s past schemes, he abducts the young, attractive reporter named Roxanne Ritchie that he believes is dating Metro Man.

Despite having a long record of losses, Megamind retains his inflated ego. He’s quick to compliment himself, whether it’s about his appearence or his intelligence. It’s because of Megamind’s pride over himself that he tends to have the same bad habit as most super villains: he explains his master plans at a critical moment, giving Metro Man the time he needs to save Roxanne. However, even when he loses, he just brushes it off and plots his next scheme, regardless of the risk.

Though Megamind intends to be villainous and causes a lot of mayhem, he is far from what he aspires to be, and he generally refrains from actually hurting anyone. Disregarding the abduction of Roxanne, Megamind and Minion mostly commit robbery and vandalism amidst the chaos from fighting Metro Man. On the night of Metro Man's presumed defeat, Megamind claims he would commit horrifying atrocities that would shock them, but then brushes off, telling everyone to continue on before he gets to them. Likewise, Megamind himself is horrified to see Metro Man's fake skeleton, as well as when Hal Stewart incinerates a plastic model of himself with the eye laser, and never intends to hurt Roxanne. Ironically, it’s also exactly why Megamind quit villainy, aware that his schemes went far beyond his control.
