Hoggish Greedly

Sign in to edit

Hoggish Greedly is one of the Eco-Villains and the first villain Captain Planet and the Planeteers encounter in the series. Greedly represents overconsumption and greed. He was voiced by the late Edward Asner.

Biography[]

Like Verminous Skumm, Hoggish Greedly has an animal-like appearance and tendencies, largely resembling a hog (which is an adult pig). Greedly makes references about himself upon occasion, thus comparing to bacon or pork, usually prompted by Captain Planet: "He can still fry our chops."

Greedly also has a wild snorting laugh that continues on for a few seconds. He snorts and grumbles when he is afraid or panicked.

Appearance[]

Greedly has a thin mohawk of sepia hair on his head, pink skin, blue eyes, small fanged teeth, pointed ears, and an upturned nose. He is incredibly fat, and is often found stuffing his face with any available food. As a sign of authority abuse, he wears a green military uniform with combat boots, a leather webbing belt, and a black tie.

In Trouble on the Half Shell, the exposure to toxin-coated eggs have mutated Greedly into a pig kaiju. In this form, he has an unnatural size with swine-like features, big fanged teeth, claws, and red spots on his skin. He can barely speak and his clothes were ripped up.

Personality[]

Like a pig, he loves to pollute, using his vast wealth to acquire complex pig-themed polluting gadgets. He has a distorted sense of vanity (fat pride), and is an inveterate glutton, even eating a small fish that was originally destined as lunch to his henchman, after Greedly himself ate a big fish. He does not appear to be very brave - once Captain Planet arrives, he often resorts to begging or pleading, usually desperate to be saved from his own plan, which has backfired. However, he throws his weight around and can be very cruel as he has attempted to harm the Planeteers on more than one occasion.

Family[]

Greedly has a son - Hoggish Greedly Junior, who has a crush on Linka in the episode Smog Hog. During this episode, Junior falls ill due to his father's polluting ways. The Planeteers convince Greedly to shut his polluting car factory down. It appears as though Greedly is not a completely unfeeling individual. In fact, he is willing to give up his car factory without resistance for the sake of his son's health.

Greedly descends from Don Porkaloin, who was a villain generations ago. Another group of Planeteers were forced to face him. Gaia tells this story in the episode Hog Tide.

As both of his family members have very similar biology to him, it appears that his mutation of pig features is hereditary, and has been carried over since at least from his grandfather.

  • The fact that he has a son indicates that he was married at some point. However, Mrs. Greedily is not mentioned or seen even once throughout the series. Either she left him , or she herself was dead .

Skills, Abilities, and Equipment[]

Hoggish Greedly has no superhuman powers (except for his large size and perpetual appetite), but he is incredibly strong, significantly more durable than the average human, and very rich. Greedly can access to various pig-themed equipment for one of his polluting schemes. He possesses extensive expertise in driving, as well as weaponry.

Former Powers[]

In the episode Trouble on the Half Shell, Hoggish Greedly accidently splashed himself with toxin-soaked eggs that mutated him into a pig-like kaiju. In this form, he has immense size and strength, as well as resistance to physical attacks. The only cure for him is normal food.

Sidekick[]

Rigger: Greedly's loyal henchman who does all the legwork while his boss always sits around and eats.
