Nefarious

"Soon, all robots will bask in the liberty and equality of my benevolent, iron-fisted rule! And, as for you filthy organic life forms, you can look forward to being disintegrated!"

- Nefarious on Supervillain Weekly

Dr. Nefarious is the main antagonist in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. He is a robotic mad scientist who hates "squishies" (flesh and bloods), despite formerly being one himself.

Overview
In high school, Dr. Nefarious had been constantly bullied and humiliated at the hands of Captain Qwark, who was 26 years old at the time. Later, Nefarious launched an amoeboid invasion on Blackwater City. Captain Qwark eventually caught Nefarious and badly injured him, causing the latter to become a cyborg. In the events of Up Your Arsenal, tagging with Courtney Gears and tended to by his servant Lawrence, Nefarious hatches a plan to turn all organic life into robots using the Bio-Bliterator, to convert everyone under his "benevolent, iron-fisted rule." Eventually, however, Ratchet and Clank are able to defeat him, causing Nefarious and Lawrence to end up stuck on an asteroid. In Deadlocked, the duo make a cameo appearance after the destruction of DreadZone Station, where they had hoped to land.

Overload
Dr. Nefarious often has the strange habit of overloading in times of extreme stress, causing him to freeze up and pick up random signals of a soap opera in his head. Early on in the game, it is also revealed that Nefarious is Clank's biggest fan, as he believes that the Secret Agent Clank series are real.

Galactic Idol
Dr. Nefarious entered Galactic Idol with a song titled Crushin' on Squishees. He was eliminated on the first round and the single sold one copy which was used to torture prisoners on Ebaro.
