Smytus is the former general of The Cluster and the secondary antagonist of the animated TV series My Life as a Teenage Robot. He works under Queen Vexus, although he is often known to go off onto missions of his own even just to feed his own ego. When it comes to battling Jenny, he often has some tool or weapon which he uses to put him in a temporary upperhand only to eventually be outwitted by Jenny's intellect.
Appearance[]
Smytus resembles a large, heavily-built, green cybernetic beetle. His round, bulky, darkly-colored body is striped down the front with many different shades of deep green and yellow-green. He is clad in armored garments (which could possibly be his exoskeleton due to his insect-like traits), with thick, spiny gauntlet-like cuffs on his wrists, and rather short, thin legs with large, bulky dark green pointed boots covering his feet. He appears to have large beetle-like wings that run down his back, resembling a cape, and he possesses the ability to fly with them. A long, sharply-pointed regal-looking collar-like feature protrudes from each side of his neck, and his arms and legs appear to be armored with protective plates. He has beady, pale yellow-greenish eyes with slit pupils, and a rather large mouth lined with a row of straight blocky white teeth with a small but noticeable gap in the middle. A single long black antenna-like feature sticks up from the top of his head and extends out to the side. His rather square-shaped insectoid head is black, and his face is pale yellow-green.
When enraged (as shown in Dressed To Kill) Smytus is able to morph his seemingly cybernetic body to wield many razor-sharp yellow-green pincers and spines, with his hands enlarging and becoming large three-pronged mechanical-looking claws, and his wings unfurling into wide segments like interlocking plates of metal.
Personality[]
Smytus is very hawkish (militaristic), arrogant, self-centered, and ruthless. He has a loud, snarling, domineering voice, and is intimidating and bad-tempered, often boasting of his power and demanding respect and praise (to both his Cluster minions, and to the victims of his invasions). He longs to overtake planet Earth for the Cluster, and he is willing to take extremely drastic measures in order to punish and destroy humankind, even going so far as to set to detonate and annihilate the entire planet Earth (in Escape from Cluster Prime). Like Vexus, he strongly despises humans.
Being the battle-hardened commander of the Cluster's military, he is a military genius, and wields very powerful weapons and rather ingenious schemes which he utilizes in attempt to thwart Jenny and take over Earth with his Cluster army. Though Smytus is more intelligent than earthlings, being an advanced cybernetic alien life-form, he is power-hungry and boastful, and occasionally makes a fool of himself because of this trait (e.g. losing the Pip Crystals to the Crust Cousins in Dressed To Kill because he was too busy gloating and berating his minions).
Despite his normally ruthless, serious, and menacing outward demeanor, Smytus can be rather silly at times, and seems to have a sense of humor and an eccentric personality.
