Mel

"It will be your end, Gru. Behold the power of my ultimate masterpiece, created through my deep hatred...for you!"

- Mel

Mel is the main antagonist of Despicable Forces, and one of two deuteragonists in Despicable Me 3.

Despicable Forces
Mel made his first appearance sitting in a shopping cart with Gru, Bob, and Kevin. Gru realized that he was late for the dance recital, and told Mel to take the groceries home.

Later, as Gru was rushing toward the recital, he saw Mel in the neighborhood. Gru ditched the dance recital to see what was going on. Mel eventually saw Gru, and then made a big flash of light, and with that, he summoned El Macho, Vector, Bratt, and Dru. Mel smacked Gru in the face, knocking him down.

Later, Mel was seen at the Temple Of Music. He briefly talks to The Player, and then makes a big battleground. He will then proceed to attack The Player. The Player must defeat Mel in order to continue.

When Gru makes his way into the Temple of Music and meets up with The Player, Mel briefly makes the guitar disappear. He then floats down to confront Gru and The Player. He then opens up a portal to a dimension he calls "Mel Space". He then sends Gru and The Player into Mel Space.

After Gru, The Player, and Young Gru make their way through Super Silly Fun Land, Mel will be in his lab.

He will then summon his ultimate power, and make himself giant. After being defeated, the nametag that gave him his power unsticks from him, and then he shrinks. He then becomes a friend of Gru again.

Episode Dru
Mel, along with Vector, El Macho, Dru, and Bratt are in his lab. He tells Vector and Dru to find Dr. Nefario and figure out what he knows, due to the fact that Mel's nametag is unstable.

He later assigned Dru to infiltrate the jelly lab under Gru's house, and for Bratt to lead Gru and The Player to the casino.

He also assigned Dru to fight Gru, who was attempting to take down Bratt's Totally 80's Space Prison.

After Vector, El Macho, and Bratt ran to defend Mel's Lab, Mel started scowling at Dru for failing. Dru then challenges Mel, saying that Mel is a weakling. That leads to another boss fight, and upon Dru winning, Mel appears frustrated and confused.

Despicable Forces
"It will be your finish, Gru. Behold the power of my ultimate masterpiece, created through my deep hatred...for you!"

"Huh. I was expecting more of a challenge from the world's greatest villain."

"It seems the world has sent me a trembling child. Are you going to fight and die here, or run away in fear again? I will teach you fear, and pain, and... well, at least the fear and pain will end."

"Let's see how many seconds you last."

"You might have more fight in you then the other rabble... what would you like your epitaph to read?"

"You think you've won? This. Isn't. Over."

"Hahahahahaha! Did you really think it'd be that easy?"

"I call it 'Mel Space'. Using my new ultimate power, I created this realm where absolutely nothing exists. Enjoy all the nothing!"

"Ah...a tall, dark, and brooding guest has arrived."

"A long awaited reunion, and still you spout such nonsense. There will be no end, Gru. No end...but yours! Feel the true extent of my ultimate power!"

"I don't understand... this nametag was supposed to give me the ultimate power!"

Episode Dru
"Gru. How I hate him. And all of that loathing has been focused into creating a team of unstoppable villains. But the nametag that gave me the powers needed to bring you all together is unstable."

"Dr. Joseph Albert Nefario. He invented this nametag, though he remains unaware of the true powers within."

"I'm trusting you with this mission, Vector. Dru will provide support. Now move out!"

"You may have let Nefario and Young Gru get away, but we still have the upper hand."

"Silence!"

"We need to gain acess to the computer terminal inside the lab under Gru's house."

"Very well. Bratt will run a distraction and lead the heroes to the Wheel of Fortune at the casino. Now go, show them the true power of Mel's army!"

"It appears that Gru's resistance is attempting to take down our prison. Gru is on his way there now."

"Very well. I'll leave you to it. Do not disappoint me, Dru."

"It seems that Gru's resistance is attempting to take down our space prison."

"It wouldn't be a fair fight if they had to face you, El Macho."

"Good. Your brother will be no match for you and your rollerskates."

"The Grus and their friend have somehow escaped Mel Space and are approaching Super Silly Fun Land. You all know what to do. Do you have something to say, Dru?"

"Oh?"

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into. I'll show you true power."

"I always knew you would betray me, Dru. You're no better than your brother."

"This. Ends. Now."

"... what? How?"

"No... but my nametag..."

"No... NO! I'm not owned... I'm not owned... I'M NOT OWNED! GRRRRAAAGGGGGHHHH!"
