| ~ SpongeBob realizing the Cyclops' intentions. |
The Cyclops is a major antagonist of Nickelodeon's eleventh feature film The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
He is an unnamed hardhat diver who owns the Shell City gift shop in the docks of the beach near Bikini Bottom. Confused with a "Cyclops" for his scuba suit, the Cyclops captures all sea fauna he finds and makes dolls out of them.
He was voiced by Neil Ross, who also voiced Grandfather in Codename: Kids Next Door: Operation: Z.E.R.O and CatNap in Poppy Playtime, while he was physically portrayed by Aaron Hendry.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He kidnapped various marine animals and took them out of the sea to torture them to death by suffocation, before using their corpses as decorations in his souvenir shop called Shell City.
- What makes this worse is that he knows that the animals were sapient, seeing as other humans such as David Hasselhoff knew due to talking to SpongeBob and Patrick and understanding what they were saying. Also, when the sea creatures are coming back to life, he can be heard saying “Uh oh” knowing that they will be vengeful towards him.
- He kidnapped SpongeBob and Patrick after squashing Dennis and took them to Shell City, where he took sadistic joy at their suffering by showing what he does at his workplace by making a diorama knick-knack called "Alexander Clam Bell" out of a dead clam with his tools, before laughing when they attempted to escape.
- He placed SpongeBob and Patrick in a heat lamp and suffocated them to death while laughing like a maniac so he could dissect them, and they would have stayed dead along with all his previous victims if their dying tear didn't short out a power outlet that smoked up, causing the fire sprinklers of Shell City to set off, rehydrate them and revive all sea life dissected there.
- He has no redeeming qualities and is taken more seriously than most of the other villains in the series.
- His crimes are unique enough to allow him to stand out compared to Mr. Krabs and Plankton, as while they did commit several heinous crimes, the Cyclops outdoes them both in kill count.
- While one could argue he has insufficient characterization, the fact that he shows sadism when it comes to his hobby and shows confusion and fear when the animals he killed were brought back to life disproves this, with it also being heavily implied to be motivated by greed.
- While he is only a diver doing his job, this is not a prevention as he enjoys what he does in a clear sadistic way.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- His defeat is played for laughs, as it involves all of the sea animals he killed being brought back to life after SpongeBob and Patrick's tear activates the sprinklers, with them having no lasting side effects, before they attack him while a mariachi fish band plays the "Mexican Hat Dance" song.
Trivia[]
- He is one of the only two canon SpongeBob SquarePants villains to be Near Pure Evil, along with The Kraken.
