Dr. Nefarious
for Dr. Nefarious in The Ratchet & Clank Movie: RIFT APART
Suggested by ivaneavendano
This movie will be an adaptation of the video game of the same name, and it could be a retroactive continuity sequel to the 2016 movie, which would ignore certain elements of the previous movie and elements from unnecessary video game sequels. Ratchet and Clank are renowned galactic heroes, and Ratchet fears that what if they end up as "washed-up" like Captain Quark, who served jail time for treachery. Ratchet also tries to keep his insecurities of being the last living Lombox aside. During a celebratory parade, Dr. Nefarious attacks and acquires a device that allows dimensional travel. When the heroes try to stop him, all three of them get sucked into a portal, which brings them to an alternate reality where a truly evil Nefarious successfully took over the galaxy as emperor. Ratchet and Clank end up separated and end up meeting their alternate counterparts. Clank meets Rivet, a female Lombox who is the emperor's most wanted, and is leading a resistance. Ratchet meets KIT, a defective battle robot with a feminine voice, and feels guilty for what happened in her programming days.
