In Minions, Herb Overkill (voiced by Jon Hamm) is partners in crime with his wife Scarlet, the world’s first villainess. With the help of his inventions and weapons, they plan to steal the crown from the Queen of England.

In Minions, Scarlet Overkill (voiced by Sandra Bullock) is the world’s first female supervillain so naturally the minions want to be her henchmen. Let’s just hope they don’t accidentally kill her like all of their previous masters.

In Minions, Walter Nelson (voiced by Michael Keaton) is your typical suburban dad except for the fact that he and his wife are bank robbers. Despite his criminal ways, he has a soft spot for the minions and gives them a lift to Villain-Con in Orlando.

The minions are an army of mischievous creatures who do Gru’s bidding. They’re of unknown origin, although their strange appearance, odd behavior, and weird talk suggest they’re the result of a science experiment gone awry.

Victor “Vector” Perkins is voted the World’s #1 Supervillain after he steals the Great Pyramid of Giza in Despicable Me. For the record, it’s a warmup suit, they are NOT pajamas. Despite his dweeby look, Vector is a major thorn in Gru’s side. Vector’s his name because he commits crimes with both direction and magnitude. Oh yeah!

These purple, furrier versions of minions make their debut in Despicable Me 2. Despite their creepy appearance, there’s something that’s very familiar about them.

In Despicable Me, Gru is a super-villian who exploits three little girls he adopted in his quest to one up his competitor, Vector. While trying to balance criminal activities with ballet lessons, he soon learns there’s more to life than world domination.

Lucy Wilde is an agent of the Anti-Villain League who persuades Gru (i.e. uses her Lipstick Tazer on him) to assist them in fighting a new super villain in Despicable Me 2.
