Rippen sought to defeat Penn Zero (the show's main protagonist), the successor to his parents, Brock and Vonnie, who Rippen had personally banished; and thus become a full-time villain. He has a part-time minion named Larry who, ironically, is not evil and was usually the reason why Rippen constantly fails.

Biography

Past

Not much is fully known about Rippen's past, except that his parents took favor in his sister Vlurgen over Rippen, as according to him, she was given things like a car, a different magical scepter for every day of the week, and competent henchmen. This leads to Rippen to become a full-time villain and his plans to outdo Vlurgen.

At some point prior to the series' events, Rippen became an art teacher at Middleburg Central High, working under the authority of the school's principal Larry, who in actuality is the former's non-evil part-time minion. As revealed in the "Zap One", he trapped Penn's parents in a dimension known as the Most Dangerous World Imaginable.

Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero

Throughout the series, Rippen and Larry would be teleported to a different universe by their Multi-Universe Transprojector technician Phil, the opposite of the heroes' technician Phyllis. As his part-time minion, Larry gives Rippen an objective tied to the universe, usually involving sabotage or ruin. However, this often backfires simply because of either of the two's incompetence, resulting in their enemies' victory and their own defeat.

In the series finale, as Penn, Boone, and Sashi travel to dangerous places in the multiverse to find the former's parents, Rippen and Larry rally up the various villains to stop them. Unfortunately, they failed and all of them are zapped back to the Odysessy; however, the bombs that were placed in the Most Dangerous World Imaginable to be destroyed have failed to be remote detonated, as Rippen revealed that he snuck in and sabotaged it earlier in the day prior. As it is known that one has to activate the bombs from the other side to close the portal, he decided to volunteer and seal it after learning the value of integrity from Penn and his friends. A bunch of the other villains (such as Lady Starblaster and Professor Evil Professor) as well as Larry and a few other inhabitants of the Multiverse, also choose to go with Rippen to start over; with that set, he and Larry detonate the bombs, closing the portal and saving the multiverse.

Now aiming to conquer the Most Dangerous World Imaginable and rule it as a full-time villain, Rippen enjoys his new life with his "evil family" despite the bickering and tension caused by the clashing personalities of his companions, though nonetheless genuinely prefers this new life to his prior one as a teacher and failure to his family.
