L.O.S.R. (pronounced "Loser"), aka the League Of Scientific Renegades (formerly known as L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. or the League Of Villainous Evildoers Maniacally United For Frightening Investments in Naughtiness) is a group of characters from Phineas and Ferb and act as the main antagonists in the first season of The Knights of the Multiverse. They are a paramilitary criminal organization with one simple mission: to take over the world (of course!). They originally operated in the shadows, but after the failed launch of their Adrastea and Lysithea battleships, they became much more active in their plans, and began seeking the destruction of the Crystal Knights after foiling their plans over and over again. Towards the later part of the season, as the Knights foiled more and more of their plans & destroyed more and more of their weapons, they started focusing on making their creations bigger, better, and deadlier.

History[]

Pre-Series[]

During Earth Prime's previous summer season, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz brought together dozens of mad scientists to create an organization dedicated to villainy, which was mostly just to cause general annoyances around the Tri-State area. That all changed the day Doofenshmirtz created the -Inator, a device that pulled the Earth away from the sun with a tractor beam that uses Jupiter's mass as an anchor. With O.W.C.A. and the world leaders in a state of panic, Rodney and the others saw this as a perfect chance to enact their plan of world domination. Capturing all the disoriented O.W.C.A. agents (except for Perry) and imprisoned them in their warehouse to keep them out of the way. Behind everyone's back, though, Rodney used Doof's -Inator blueprints to create an -Inizor ten times the size and strength of his that will move the Earth even further away from the sun, sending the Earth into a new Ice Age if L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.'s demands are not met (and also making sure to disable the reverse switch and self-destruct button). This announcement horrified and disturbed the entire world, even causing Doofenshmirtz to realize that the situation is getting out of hand. Later, Rodney called the world leaders to see that their demands have been fully met, which they all have, except for one: the world's supply of pretzels. Staying true to his word, Rodney smugly activated his -inizor, moving the Earth into perpetual winter. While gloating over his evil plan coming to a success, Doofenshmirtz began to have second thoughts, and seeing that Rodney had gone completely mad with power, the two broke into a fight, with Rodney fully intent on creating a new Ice Age, threatening millions of lives. After the O.W.C.A. agents are freed by Perry and fight most of the scientists, sending a good number of them fleeing the complex, Rodney manages to activate his machine, only for an infuriated Doofenshmirtz to knock him unconscious with a mop, then destroying the -Inizor with assistance from the other O.W.C.A. agents. With the -Inizor destroyed and the Earth put back in rotation (thanks to unknown assistance from Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher), several of the group's key members were arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for their crimes against humanity.

Season 1[]

After several months of imprisonment for his crimes, several of the escaped L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. members held a large-scale prison break, allowing Rodney and the other imprisoned scientists to escape. Upon doing so, the group renamed itself to the "League of Scientific Renegades" (they hadn't realized what its acronym meant yet) and reorganized to conceive new dastardly plans for world domination.

Members[]

L.O.S.R.'s staff consists mostly of mad scientists, ecological terrorists or simple jerks looking to make a quick buck.

Current Members[]

Former Members[]

  • Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz ("retired")
  • Dr. Gillian (departed)

Creations[]

Droids[]

L.O.S.R. also created several smaller robots, in the form of androids to perform menial jobs or to get more up close and personal with their enemies. They developed three different types of androids:

Battle-Types[]

Pretty self-explanatory, these androids are made for the sole purpose of fighting, or even to simply defend their creators.

Other Types[]

Super Robots[]

L.O.S.R.'s main force consists of Super Robots. Basing them off of the Kikaiju of old by the great Dr. Hell, they're generally created from Super Alloy Z (much like the Mazinger robots) and powered by atomic energy, and to combat against forces like the Super Robots used by the Crystal Knights, each mech uses some type of gimmick, from super strength to an enormous arsenal of weaponry. Most of them use fully A.I. brains, giving most of them a unique personality (though some don't possess any personality at all and operate as single-minded drones).

Renegade Remnants[]

Other Weapons[]

L.O.S.R. created various other weapons for their conquest, often to assist their Super Robots in battles.

Mechanical Animals[]

Vehicles[]

Battleships[]

Bases/Fortresses[]

Other Weapons[]

"Hired Help"[]

Though they work prominently with robots, androids and other artificially-creations. Sometimes the organization looks into some hired help with their experiments, though a good number of them worked alongside the group willingly. Some "hired help" also applies to people & creations that didn't work directly under the organization's jurisdiction.

  • Desperado (many stolen and repurposed w/ A.I. control systems to aid in Super Robot construction)
  • Construction Droids
  • Akabon (didn't know about creator's involvement with organization)
  • Ana & Yuna (Droids modified by Dr. Akamashi, escaped before they could be used as weapons)
  • Magma Base ((partially) restored by Renegade scientists before being "mercy killed" by the Knights)
  • Magneto
  • Earth-chan (taken & modified with weapons)
  • Lulli (modified with "Heart Circuit")
  • Robot Vikings (captured & converted into battle-types)
  • God Mazinger (intended to be dug up & repaired for use; failed)

Notes[]

More information on the group's history can be found here, on the group's page on the Phineas and Ferb wiki.

The organization's name was changed mostly to give it a less cumbersome name, and maybe even a slightly cooler/funnier one, which makes sense as here they're trying to get themselves far away from Doofenshmirtz's ideas for them. However, it was important that their name still have some kind of joke to it like the original and other organizations like OWCA that have silly acronyms in the original P&F series, so that developed into a name that sounds cool at first and separated, but then sounds silly when you really think about it. And for more serious situations, they are simply referred to as "The Renegades" (insert Gobots joke here).

  • This also developed into a joke about them at one point coming up with a name "E.O.W.C.A., the Evil Organization Without a Cool Acronym".

This version of the organization is essentially Earth Prime's equivalent to other big villainous groups like G.I. Joe's Cobra or Dragon Ball's Red Ribbon Army; a large organization made of hundreds of men and women with a baffling amount of free time and money that prefers to use it all to taking over the world, getting petty revenge for past grievances, kidnapping/blackmailing people to use however they wish, and just generally ruining good people's lives in some way or another for their own selfish benefit.

  • But admittedly, the season doesn't give much focus on the group's "ring leaders" (after all, focusing on villains who's motivations all just sort of boil down to "we're evil and we can do these horrible things because we're superior to everyone else, LOL" doesn't make for very compelling writing). Instead, the series focuses much more on the creations and the enemies-of-the-week, giving many of them unique personalities in addition to their different power sets, or the occasional main/subplot in their spotlight episodes. Although ironically, this actually turns pretty beneficial in a narrative-sense in the series overall, as several of their number & creations end up joining the Knights, and even (unintentionally) suppling the team with weapons like God Sigma.

The names of each of L.O.S.R.'s scientists come from many scientists, such as movies, cartoons, plays on other famous scientists' names, actors/other cartoon characters that they share a lot of similarities with, and even Star Trek.

The organization has several "rival" characters that appear every few episodes to fight against the Knights alongside the villains of the week, with several of them developing rivalries with specific members, much in the same vein of most Tokusatsu series, especially Super Sentai. However, this series mixes it up by having the majority of them going through a redemption arc (heck, one of them is on pure friendly terms with the team even before they officially join), with at least five of them joining starting from the halfway mark of the first season. They're all meant to play the part of certain types of rivals too, such as:

  • Atros is meant to be a rival similar to Zuko, Vegeta, and the 2003 Teen Titans' Jinx, that starts out only wanting to destroy the main hero & nothing else before turning a new leaf and realizing that life has a bit more to offer, but keep up a less-violent rivalry with their former foe, along the lines of Sonic and Knuckles. Also similar to Pluto from Astro Boy, where she's created for the sole purpose of fighting until they develop emotions and learn that one doesn't have to fight to truly live.
  • Drum is the friendliest of friendly rivals, being openly friendly with several of the heroes ; heck, she even helps the heroes fight Renegade bots a couple of times before she changes over. She only stays on the villain's side as long as she does because of the (genuine) love she has for her family.
  • Lime is very much obliviously evil, only seeing fighting as a game, though compounded by how ridiculously strong she is.
  • Iris is the type of rival that believes what the organization they work under is in the right but soon comes around to see that her morals and the evil group's don't align. Though this aspect is subverted a little by how her main function is to protect the planet and was just tricked into fighting for them.
  • Tobikage is very much the honorable-type rival that sees the heroes as worthy opponents and doesn't mean anyone any real harm outside of his mission, eventually sees that the group he works for is truly evil and switching sides; inspired mainly by characters like Dreadwing from Transformers Prime and Grey from Chojin Sentai Jetman (heck, like Grey, he also has a complex of acting very human while being the most outwardly robotic).
  • Kotoko is made to be sort of the Char Clone of the first season at least, as she's a re-occurring enemy pilot , and even appears with several different Mechs like Char did in the original 0079 series; though even then, she's meant to be a much lighter version of the , and even ends up joining the good guys.
  • Chaotique is the type of rival that doesn't really listen to anyone's rules and follows her own ways but still has at least some morals; something akin to Red X.
  • V3 is the "generic" rival that only exists to fight the heroes and get badly beaten everytime he shows up. Subverted a little since he does become a bit more serious in his last appearance.
  • Sigma is the serious Final Boss-antagonist that's meant to be totally unredeemable and much more dangerous than any other foe the heroes have faced before. Also meant to be the evil counterpart to Atros, as she's intentionally (in-universe and writing-wise) not meant to have any of her sister's better traits. Meant to be inspired by Kamen Rider's Shadow Moon.

L.O.S.R.'s use of Super Robots is, of course, a nod to villains in the Super Robot genre that would send giant robots or monsters to defeat the heroes, but the use of mostly obscure/forgettable mecha shows is a small in-joke about the oversaturation of the super robot genre in the 1970's/early 1980's, mainly the robots that are not as highly acclaimed/well remembered as say the Dynamic Planning robots & the Robot Romance trilogy or work just as well as villainous-types (several of Dynamic's SRs fit this bill fairly well). In addition to that, to spice up the battles a little, almost all of the mechs have a bit of personality, which are usually based off of the mech's pilot from its original series. At the same time though, there are a number of enemy Mecha featured due to their unique/"fun" designs and powers.

  • A few Super Robots are also given alternate color schemes, mainly based off their evil "clones" or "imposters" from their home shows, mainly to make them a bit more distinct from their original counterparts and since they were technically already evil, that gives a little more leeway for them to be used as bad guys of the week.
  • The only robots that are exempt from this are the ones that are designed to look as heroic as possible, such as Daltanious.

To keep some consistency between most of the androids the group creates, they usually come from either a series revolving around a number of android characters (such as with the Dark Sisters) or are from the mech shows.

A couple of the Droids featured in this series - most of them performing infiltration-type missions - were actually disguises used by villains in their original series, with them usually being shapeshifters or having some type of spell cast on them (sometimes even by villains that looked like old men which was.... just creepy). So to keep things a little simpler, they are simply robots that always looked like that.
