List of Totally Spies! characters

The Spies. Left to right: Alex, Clover and Sam.

The animated television series Totally Spies! follows the adventures of three Beverly Hills teenage girls – Sam, Clover and Alex – who work as secret agents on missions to save the world while keeping their identity a secret from their peers. Supporting the girls is their employer Jerry from the World Organization of Human Protection (WOOHP). The show has spawned a variety of characters including students from their high school and university, fellow WOOHP agents, and a cast of villains, many of whom have returned in later episodes.

Conception and development

The show's conception came from the rise of girl band and female singers in the music industry. Wanting to capitalize on the niche, David Michel and Vincent Chalvon-Demersay put their idea into development, which later shifted into production within a year. According to Michel, the series' animation style was intended to incorporate anime influences. The production company, Marathon Media, intended on building on the series brand by forming a three-piece girl band, utilizing German talk show Arabella to create it. Using a panel of judges, 20 demo videos were selected and the winners were selected based on the strength of their performance and the show's viewers. The band was selected and released a single in the spring of 2002, through EMI. According to managing director Dirk Fabarius, "The plan is to eventually create an entire album and establish and promote Totally Spies as a real band."

In an interview with WorldScreen.com, Michel said that prior to his show, there were a lot of boy action-adventure shows and practically nothing for girls, yet in pop culture, there was Britney Spears and Spice Girls. He said that the characters are heavily inspired by the movie Clueless and wanted to mix that with a James Bond format. When they first pitched the show, it had a moderate response, but when the first season was broadcast, the Charlie's Angels film came out, and suddenly the market was full of girl show properties.

The character design was originally done by Gil Formosa.

Main

Clover

Clover has medium length blonde hair, light blue eyes, and medium-toned skin; she dons a red catsuit on missions. Of the three girls, she is the most expressive with the Beverly Hills teenage fashionista attitude, with a strong valspeak dialect, being the first to court the newest available good-looking boy, concerning herself with the latest clothes, diets, and trends, and often competing against Mandy in all sorts of popularity contests. Her Télétoon profile describes her as athletic, agile, strong, and especially impulsive, reacting spontaneously and jumping into action; and ready to teach the bad guys a lesson even if she has no chance of winning. Clover is voiced by Andrea Baker (who was credited as Andrea Taylor for the first two seasons) and by Ali Ryan in the following seasons for the English dub, and by Fily Keita in the French version. In an interview, Baker said Clover has a thing for musicians, likes to get pampered, and is all into fashion. She likes that the girls have fun and kick butt.

Sam

Samantha has long slightly wavy orange hair, emerald green eyes and fair skin; she dons a green catsuit on missions. She is described by her Télétoon and film profiles as rational, logical and mature, like a big sister, although she is known to easily become gullible at times, especially when it comes to romance. She thinks up plans and diversions so that the girls can defeat the villains. Although she is fairly serious during her missions, she enjoys hanging out, shopping, and visiting salons. She is not as boy crazy as the other girls, she has fallen for a few in the series, but without much success. One of the running gags is that she is frequently brainwashed. Her last name is not mentioned in her profiles, however, in "Do You Believe in Magic?", where she is undercover as a reporter, she introduces herself as Samantha Simpson. She is voiced by Jennifer Hale and by Kira Riley in the following seasons for the English version and by Claire Guyot in the French version. In an interview regarding Sam's development in the first three seasons, Hale described Sam as "smart and adventurous, but now you see more of her wacky side and her girly side as well.

Alex

Alexandra has short black hair, light brown eyes, and dark skin; she dons a yellow catsuit on missions. She is described in the Télétoon profile as the best friend character, affectionate and not afraid to show her feelings. She enjoys sports and athletics but also shares her friends' fashion interests. She is the most naive and absent-minded of the three, sometimes interpreting figures of speech literally, often thinking it was actually going dark just because something is blocking her sight, or picking up and eating foodstuff at crime scenes that is potentially harmful. In the episode "Do You Believe In Magic", it is revealed Alex is the youngest of the three girls (and Clover the oldest). Her driving ability becomes a running gag in some episodes, despite the fact that she keeps getting to take the wheel and proves to be capable of improvising dangerous car stunts. She is sensitive and sometimes gets down on herself. Starting with season 3, Alex reveals interests in Taekwondo, skateboarding, soccer and video games. Alex appears to be racially mixed at first, having a dark-skinned mom and a white dad in the season 4 episode "Alex Gets Schooled"; however, her father later appears with a completely different physical appearance, notably with dark skin in the season 6 episode "Evil Ice Skater". In Totally Spies! The Movie, which takes place when the girls first transfer to Beverly Hills High, she adopts a piglet whom she names Oinky, who does not appear in seasons 1-5 but recurs in season 6 when the girls have already gone to college. Although Alex says she is allergic to cats in season 1 episode "Wild Style", in "Evil Mascot", she handles Sigmund Smith's neglected kitten without any allergic reaction, and she later works in a university cat lab in season 6 episode "Nine Lives" without problems. Like Sam and Clover, her last name has never been revealed but in "Evil Ice Skater," Jerry refers to her father as "Dr. Casoy" but it's unknown if that's Alex's last name or not.

Alex is voiced by Katie Leigh for the first two seasons and by Katie Griffin and by Lori Felipe-Barkin in the following seasons for the English dub. In voicing Alex, Griffin used a higher vocal register than usual. She was worried about nodules developing and about being recast when the series returned for season 6 following a hiatus, but was happy when she could return. She found the part to be really fun, easy to play, and liked that Alex was so lovely to animals. Alex is voiced by Céline Mauge in the French dub.

Recurring

Jerry

The founder and chief administrator of World Organization Of Human Protection (WOOHP, pronounced like "whoop"), as the girls' supervisor. Jerry is a middle-aged British gentleman who briefs the girls on their missions and provides their various gadgets, most of which are in the form of women's accessories such as boots, hairpins, lipsticks, eyelash curlers, hair dryers, and are very mission-specific as if he knew everything beforehand. Some of the accessories are named with convoluted acronyms (such as RASH ("Rocket-powered Amphibious Stealth Hydrofoil"), AWFUL Boots ("All-Weather Fleece Ultra-Light Boots"), or CATS ("Crystalline Airtight Trisect Shield")). He usually summons the girls (or "WOOHPs" them) using trap doors or portals from random items and places (e.g. closet door, trash can, vacuum cleaner), sends them off in similarly over-the-top manners (in roller coasters or even rockets), most of which are practically impossible, or as noted by Sam, "sometimes defy the laws of physics". He also tends to make a lot of bad puns, which the girls sometimes find annoying. During the missions, he looks up information for the girls and analyzes items they send over. His movie profile notes that he cares a lot for the girls and acts like a second father to them. In the episode "Totally Switched", Jerry's last name is revealed to be Lewis. Jerry was voiced by Jess Harnell for first two seasons and then by Adrian Truss for seasons 3–6 and by Gary Mack in the following seasons for the English dub. In the French version, Jerry has been voiced by Jean-Claude Donda.

Jerry also appears in the spin-off series The Amazing Spiez!.

Mandy

Mandy is the girls' primary antagonist for their non-spy adventures starting at Beverly Hills High. She has long black hair and violet eyes, with a beauty mark under her left eye. The film website profiles her as the popular girl, charismatic, cute, very rich, and hyper-fashionable. However, she is "the spies' worst nightmare – a pest that does everything to ridicule". She has a high, squeaky voice with a nasal laugh. Her rivalry with Clover is most pronounced, as they often compete over boys, popularity, and bragging rights. Mandy will go out of her way to annoy the girls and will even use dishonest means in order to do it. However, it usually backfires on her more than once and she ends up being humiliated by the girls as result. In the first four seasons, she is accompanied by her crony friends Dominique and Caitlin. In season 3, when the spies move into their home, Mandy ends up becoming their next-door neighbor. In season 5, she ends up attending college at Malibu University, where she shares a room with her cousin Mindy in the same dorm as the spy girls. In season 6, she employs an intern named Trent.

Despite frequently interacting with Clover and the girls, she is not aware that they are spies. In turn, the girls put up with Mandy's shenanigans and try to protect or rescue her when she is in serious danger from the real villains. Usually when she does discover they are spies, she gets her memory erased following the situation. Jerry makes her a WOOHP spy for the episode "Evil Coffee Shop Much?", and dons a purple uniform. Some episodes have her in a villainous role, such as: "Futureshock!" where she is the top media celebrity in an alternative future and tries to "Mandify" everyone and "Attack of the 50 Ft. Mandy" where she transforms into a giant and captures the other girls. In the multi-episode season finale "Totally Busted", she, Caitlin and Dominique are infected by a chemical called SUDS and become spy hunters or "spy-'ssassins".

In the English dub, Mandy has been voiced by Jennifer Hale, who also voiced Sam and by Sarah Naughton in the following seasons for the English Dub. In an interview where she was asked about her impressions of Sam and Mandy, Hale said that she enjoyed voicing such opposite characters: "I love spy/action stuff and it always rocks when I get to be one of those characters. Plus I get to be a total snot, which is fun too." In the French dub, Mandy is voiced by Céline Mauge, who also voiced Alex.

G.L.A.D.I.S.

Gadget Lending And Distribution Interactive System (G.L.A.D.I.S.) is Jerry's new personal assistant that is introduced as a main character in season 3 and 4. Michel describes her as a "robot with a SERIOUS attitude". She takes the form of an assembly line with multiple robotic arms that can outfit the girls with the gadgets. Although Jerry created her, she often expresses her own attitude, picking out gadgets on her own and disobeying Jerry's orders. Following her disapproval by the show's fans, G.L.A.D.I.S. was written off the show, where it is mentioned in a season 5 episode that she is sent to a recycling facility. G.L.A.D.I.S. is voiced by Stevie Vallance

Arnold Jackson

Arnold Jackson is a classmate who regularly shows up in the side stories at Beverly Hills High; he is portrayed as a nerd with glasses who has helped out the girls on the condition that they go on a date with him. In the series opener, he successfully campaigns for Clover to win a popularity contest, and gets to date her for a day, and in "A Spy Is Born" double-episode, he asks Sam out as a secret admirer with the initials "A.J." Despite being turned down "a few, uh, hundred times" by Clover, he is still attracted to her, and works on her publicity campaign in "Super Agent Much?"; he is also a member of Mandy's fan club. He participates in school events including the Halloween costume contest, Most Charitable Teen contest, local raves, student president elections, and the head cheerleader contest, the last of which he beats Mandy and Clover.

Arnold serves as the episodic villain In "Super Nerd Much?", where he acquires a magic ring that allows him to steal the "coolness" from other people. In the episode "Arnold the Great", he is inspired to dress as comic book superhero Admiral Admirable, but it is manipulated by villain Geraldine Husk into thinking the girls are his enemies. His final appearance was in the season 5 opener, "Evil Graduation" where, as class valedictorian, he tells the class off with a "Goodbye and good riddance!"

He appears in the season 5 finale "Totally Dunzo" where he is captured by Mr. X, but when he reunites with Clover, they almost kiss. In the season 6 episode "Baddies on a Blimp", he stows away on the WOOHP blimp to help out the spies when things go awry and the prisoners are released. However, he turns down Clover's affections, saying that he is done with dating LA girls after having dated the "high-maintenance" Mandy. Blaine makes a guest appearance in an episode of The Amazing Spiez! where he is abducted by the spiez' nanny.

Britney

Britney is introduced in the season 2 episode "Alex Quits" as a new teenage WOOHP spy. She has long dark blue hair, violet eyes, an olive complexion, and also dons a blue catsuit. She quickly befriends Clover when she says that she is the captain of her high school's cheerleading squad, and Sam when she says she loves playing chess; however, her introduction to WOOHP and her immediate competence and leadership as an agent makes Alex jealous. Following the completion of the mission, Jerry announces that she has completed her training, and deploys her to another branch. She reappears in the season 3 episode "Escape from WOOHP Island" where she is forced on land on a prisoner's island, but is rescued by the girls as they team up again to re-capture the villains. She reveals that she has two agent co-workers, both of whom are good-looking guys.

Following Britney's appearance on "WOOHP Island", producer David Michel noted she would reappear in some special episodes. In the season 5 episode "Virtual Stranger" she gets stuck in a virtual simulation as the result of an accident, causing a cyber demon using her as a host to manifest as three incarcerated villains in the real world. After being freed by the spy girls, she transfers to Mali-U for three more episodes, causing Alex to become jealous of her again. In the episode "Whoopersize-me", The girls and Britney discover that a new exercise trend has been going around campus, and it involves moves taught at WOOHP. Jerry has them track down who's responsible. "Evil Hotel", Britney and Alex become friends again, having common interests such as their favorite movie actor who they are assigned to protect. Britney is assigned to WOOHP Australia and partnered with Blaine, much to Clover's disdain. She returns in the multi-episode finale "Totally Dunzo" as one of the spies captured by Mr. X. Britney makes a guest appearance in an episode of The Amazing Spiez where she is abducted by the spiez' nanny.

Carmen

Carmen is Alex's mom. She has a darker skin/eye tone and originally her hair was dark brown but has since appeared the same color as Alex's. Her main goal and focus is for Alex to get a boyfriend.

David

David is a classmate who manages to garner the romantic affections of all three of the spy girls (and Mandy). He is introduced in the season 2 episode "It's How You Play The Game". He has many varied interests such as painting and poetry, but also dabbles in extreme sports such as rock climbing and street luge. He is oblivious to the girls' attempts to garner his attention and thinks of them as just friends, or like a sister. In his interviews when producer David Michel was asked if he could share some inside jokes that were put into episodes, he said: "In season II, guess what's the name of the totally hunky, totally clever boy that the 3 girls fall in love with at the same time? David." When asked about why David did not return in the third season, Michel said, "David never was a recurring character. He was present in a few season II episodes so we didn't have to justify his not being in our stories anymore. But we have realized how important he is to the fans, and decided to have him back in season 4."

Dean

Dean is a WOOHP agent who first appears in the season 3 multi-episode finale "Evil Promotion Much?" where he and the girls undergo special training to become super spies. He wears a blue uniform. Ever since he was a baby he has demonstrated exceptional agility and was recruited to join WOOHP. Following the first day of the super spy training, he is captured by Terence and used as ransom in order for the girls to eliminate Jerry and steal his microchip. He briefly sides with Terence when the girls return but then reveals he has been siding with WOOHP all along, and that he is the actual training instructor. He then helps the girls rescue Jerry and defeat Terence. He was later shown in "Deja Cruise" where he pretends to be a lifeguard who turns down Clover's advances. He returns in "WOOHP-tastic!" where he is put in charge of the WOOHP gadget lab. In the season 5 finale, he is one of the agents who was abducted by Mr. X. He also appears in the spin-off series The Amazing Spiez!.

Dominique and Caitlin

Mandy's two crony friends who accompany her at school and other events. Both have snobby attitudes and high nasal voice inflections like their leader. They were not given names in the first two seasons. According to the profile on Mandy in the feature film, although they support Mandy, the latter is too selfish to care for them. Dominique has dark red hair styled in way similar to Alex's hair, blue eyes, and peach skin. Caitlin has long and curly black hair and light skin. Caitlin was voiced by Katie Griffin and Dominique was voiced by Andrea Baker. They only appeared scarcely in episodes of the first four seasons, and the movie, when the story was set at Beverly Hills High; when the story was shifted to set at Mali-U starting from season 5, they were written off entirely. Their most notable appearance was in the "Totally Busted" arc of season 4, in which they were brainwashed along with Mandy and actively attacked the Spies. In portraying the girls, Baker said that she and Griffin both tried to do their own versions of Mandy.

Gabby

She is Sam's mom. She wears her orange hair long like Sam's, though slightly curlier. Gabby's hair was originally brown, but it has since appeared the same color as Sam's. Gabby can be overprotective of Sam and only has her best safety in mind. Gabby's first appearance was in the Season 2 episode "Mommies Dearest". She reappears in her second appearance in the Season 4 finale "Totally Busted". During her short duration as a spy, her catsuit is jade-colored. At the end of that episode, she becomes an official spy. She looks identical to her daughter Sam. Sam is Gabby's only child. Gabby made a brief appearance in "The Wedding Crasher".

Mindy

Mindy is Mandy's cousin who appears in season 5 as a student at Mali-U. She has blonde hair, green eyes, a tan complexion, and speaks in a strong Southern accent, acting very much like a second Mandy, to annoy the girls for the season. She and Mandy room together in the same dorm as the spy girls.

Mrs. Lewis

Jerry's mom who lives in Devonshire, England. Her first appearance is in the season 2 episode "Mommies Dearest". She gets very annoyed with her son, who tells her that he is a hotel manager. In the season 5 finale "Totally Dunzo!" she becomes evil after a drop of evil DNA falls into her cup of tea. She becomes "Mr. X" and creates robot droids to replace the spies after buying out WOOHP as a way to take over the world. After Jerry manages to reverse the effects, she returns to normal. It is revealed that she was a top spy back in her youth, something Jerry never knew. In the season 6 episode "Totally Switched Again" she becomes a WOOHP spy, donning a lilac catsuit, but retires again at the end of the episode. Mrs. Lewis has also appeared in the spin-off series The Amazing Spiez! when her daughter Sherry has a flashback in "Operation WOOSCI".

Norman

Norman is Clover's cousin. He first appears in the season 2 episode "Zooney World" and is seen again in the Season 6 episode "Danger TV".

Oinky

Oinky is Alex's pet piglet. He wears a blue diamond-studded collar with a gold tag, and even though he is hairless, he has a small spot which resembles a small lock of hair on his forehead. In Totally Spies! The Movie, which takes place when the girls first transfer to Beverly Hills High, he was one of the pets in cages when the giant sushi roll bounced off the cages, breaking them, and setting the animals free. The giant sushi roll, with the three girls log rolling on top of it, chased him to the street, where he got trapped between the traffic and the incoming giant sushi roll, and began to cry for help. Alex saved his life, then he imprinted on her, licking her right cheek affectionately as a "Thank you", and Alex adopted him and named him Oinky. He first joined the girls on their mission at Peppy Wolfman's building, where Alex had Oinky "go hog wild for mommy" as a distraction, and Oinky deliberately ran around the lobby with the other animals and the receptionist in pursuit. Later, Oinky got lost looking for Alex, following her scent to the mall, where he ended up going through the Fabulizor, getting the same makeover as well. Alex quickly realized she forgot Oinky. Later that night, as all of those who went through the Fabulizor get abducted into a strange space station out in space, Alex spotted Oinky behind the crowd and grabbed onto him, with Sam and Clover grabbing onto Alex. During the evacuation, Alex thought Oinky was never going to make it out in time. In fact, she was crying, only to see him run fast to her, finally reunited with Alex. After the mission, Alex and Oinky got invited for a session with Peppy Wolfman. He does not appear in seasons 1-5 but recurs in season 6 when the girls have already gone to college, starting in "Grabbing the Bully by the Horns", when he finally gets reunited with Alex by Jerry, and becomes a new member of the team, as well as their bodyguard at the end of the episode. In "Celebrity Swipe!", Mandy was auditioning for a talent scout, but her performances were foiled by Oinky (by him digging for a truffle under her stage, causing her stage to collapse under her, licking her foot, causing her to laugh uncontrollably, and by jumping onto her radio, fast-forwarding her song, causing her to sing faster), who got picked by the talent scout instead. Oinky hates baths as shown by his fear of water, and he is especially prone to fight-or-flight as shown in "Dog Show Showdown!", where Alex attempted to give him a bath, and she, Sam, and Clover ended up chasing him, but after the Warden deans found out about Oinky, Alex disguised Oinky as a pet dog, and even taught him how to behave like a dog (teaching him to sit, stay, and roll over) in order to keep him at Mali-U, and to investigate the kidnappings of the dogs at the world renowned West Hollywood Dog Show. Oinky got startled by Alex because of the word "bath", and when she threw him into the fountain, he panickedly splashed Chomper with water, finally revealing his disguise as the robot dog. Alex caught Chomper while he went after Oinky. Oinky remembered the bath Alex tried to give him earlier, and he then dove into the water fountains and Chomper went after him and finally malfunctioned due to a short circuit. The girls and Oinky managed to fool the Warden deans into thinking that Oinky was indeed a dog, causing them much confusion. In "Evil Ice Skater", Oinky can be seen bonding with Alex's father, Dr. Casoy, when he gives him a treat. In "Solo Spies!", Alex and Oinky got a new dorm room when Mandy took over the spies' penthouse. Alex and Oinky got abducted by FanGirl, who has decided to take her fanaticism to a whole new level—by accumulating real life spies to add to her collection. Oinky hinted to Alex to use the Eyelash Curler Catapult to escape. The girls and Oinky escaped, and Oinky attacked FanGirl by repeatedly hitting her in the face with his hooves. Jerry, seeing the error of his ways, reunited the girls, and got Mandy kicked out of their penthouse, and made the girls a team again. He and Alex share a strong bond as he sees Alex as his mother, Sam and Clover as his aunts, and Jerry as his uncle. Even though Sam and Clover are reluctant to have Oinky as a roommate, they still consider him a member of the team and a member of their family. Oinky is also fast on his short, little legs, and he is also smart and strong. Alex and Oinky make each other happy, and he is especially protective of Alex and his family. He is known as Groin Groin in the French version.

Phoebe is Mandy's mom who also has long dark hair and a snooty nasal-pitched voice. She first appears in the season 3 episode "Forward to the Past" where, in 1975, she wears hippie clothing and had worked on the school news magazine at Beverly Hills High. She has a few appearances later in the season such as the episode "Dental?

In the episode "Evil G.L.A.D.I.S Much?" she helps Mandy by buying out the Yves Mont Blanc store.

When the date goes terribly wrong because of his clumsiness and bad luck, he later discovers the girls are spies and uses a serum to bulk up in order to be a superhero, concocting dangerous situations where he can save her.

Recurring villains

Many villains began making return appearances starting with the second season. In another interview, Michel said that in the third season there is an episode called "Escape from WOOHP Island" in which some of the past villains reappear. Most of them broke out of the WOOHP detention facility, or in the case of Jazz Hands, he was simply released after finishing doing his time. In season 4, Terence rounds up some of the villains to form an organization called League Aiming to Menace and Overthrow Spies (LAMOS), of which their members include Tim Scam, Helga Von Guggen, Myrna Beesbottom and Boogie Gus. In season 6, some villains from earlier seasons, such as the Granny, also returned; one exception was Seth Toyman, who was portrayed as an unwitting perpetrator in season 2, now as a villain with a different backstory and motive.

Boogie Gus

Boogie Gus is an afro-wearing guy who first appears in the season 3 episode "Forward to the Past" where he uses Jerry's time machine invention to travel back and forth to steal technology from the future and bring it back to his groovy 1970s past where he creates his own WOOHP organization: World Organization Of Harming People. It is revealed that he was actually from the present as a former WOOHP janitor. In season 4, he joins LAMOS where he still sports his 1970s look. In one of the episodes, he uses a ray gun to transform people to a younger version of themselves but dressed in 1980s fashion. In the double-episode "Like, So Totally Not Spies", he accidentally leaks the information regarding Terence's plans and the secret behind the bracelets to the girls.

Boogie Gus has also appeared in the spinoff series The Amazing Spiez!, where his son Gus Jr., has a passion for the decade he was born, the 1990s, which included low-tech electronics and ghetto-based outfits. They try to turn everything back to the way it was in the 1990s but are stopped by the spiez.

Candy Sweet

Candy (real name: Margeret Nussbaum) is introduced as a coach in the episode "The Black Widows" where her cheerleading squad makes a strong impression in the national competitions. However, it is later revealed that her team is made up of gynoids who have been programmed with the cheerleading routines stolen from the other teams. It is revealed that she was a former student named Margaret Nussbaum who had been rejected by the Honeybees cheerleading team, and has since vowed to have her revenge. In "Sis-KaBOOM-Bah!" she brainwashes teenage cheerleaders nationwide (including Clover and Mandy) with a small training DVD so they can break her out of prison. Candy is voiced by Amanda Anka.

Diminutive Smalls

Tired of being looked down upon, Smalls invented a shrink ray to shrink others down to his liking, but the machine backfired and shrank him instead. However, he was able to attain incredible strength in the process. In the episode "Shrinking", he uses the ray to shrink major tourist attractions. In the episode "Attack of the 50 Foot Mandy", he tried to seek revenge by enlarging the spies, only to miss and hit Mandy instead.

Dr. Gelee

Gelee is a scientist who appears in "Ice Man Cometh". Deciding that mankind was too evil and destructive to the planet, he plans to eliminate everyone by freezing the planet while he and his henchmen hole up in his mountain fortress. He chooses Clover to be his ice queen, and forces her to play a game of chess with him, but is foiled by the girls and sent to prison. However, in "Ski Trip", he escapes and follows the girls to a ski resort where he tries to kill them off in a series of accidents. When he kidnaps Clover, he mistakenly grabs Mandy instead because she wears a red snow outfit that resembles Clover's spy suit. Regardless, he uses Mandy as a hostage to capture the girls. He is last seen at the side of the mountain where he tries to fire a laser at the girls, only to have it bounce off and cause an avalanche that buries him, but it is unknown if the avalanche killed him or not.

Geraldine Husk

Geraldine Husk first appears as the head of a spy agency called Super Protection International (S.P.I.), which during its introduction, becomes extremely successful in capturing criminals, and practically puts WOOHP out of business. However, it is later revealed that she has been using her S.P.I. employees to act as the criminals in fake arrests in order to upstage WOOHP and get her revenge from being rejected from joining WOOHP when she was younger. Geraldine was later foiled by Sam, Clover and Alex, and she swore revenge against them.

In "Super Agent Much?", Geraldine places a serum in Clover's coffee which transforms Clover into a "super spy", with enhanced superhuman abilities and powers, while becoming more selfish. She ultimately recruits Clover to join SPI and orders her to kill her friends and destroy WOOHP. However, after being thrown in the lake, Clover's bionic abilities are disabled and Geraldine was again captured. In "Arnold the Great", she tries to ensnare the girls but ends up targeting Arnold instead, giving him some superhero powers. In the season 5 episode "Return Of Geraldine", she is revealed to have hired Blaine to kill Clover, and upon Blaine's failure, changes her goal to make Clover's life miserable. Geraldine is voiced by Kathy Laskey.

Granny

She is the title character in the episode "The Granny", appearing like a sweet woman in her 80s who likes to bake goodies. In the episode, she is a WOOHP prisoner considered to be very dangerous, but the girls fall for her pleasant personality. She escapes when the girls were trying to transport her to another facility, and reunites with her gang to rob the city's banks but is ultimately foiled by the girls and sent to another prison facility that is more like a retirement resort. In a follow-up episode "Super Sweet Cupcake Company", she bakes cupcakes that make their consumers compliant to her commands. She escapes prison and uses the cupcakes to rob banks without the bank staff aware of any wrongdoing.
