Rob

“	You have only yourself to blame. You being the hero of all of this means that I have to be the villain. But I never wanted to be the villain! I wanted to be the cute sidekick who gets his own plush toy and a spinoff show. (...) You really don't get it, do you? So happy to star in your "amazing world." Can't you see that none of this is real?! (...) It doesn't matter. Once you're out of the picture I can be WHOEVER I WANT! I'm sorry, Gumball Watterson. THERE'S NO OTHER WAY!	„
	~ Rob to Gumball.

Summary[]

Rob is the main antagonist of the animated series The Amazing World of Gumball.

He's initially a minor, nondescript character in the series (and a student at Elmore Jr. High). As a result, he is exiled into the Void, a TV static dimension that erases anything it deems a "mistake" from reality. Upon escaping, he is physically disfigured into a glitching, broken form, and becomes Gumball Watterson's arch-nemesis for revenge and to play a part in the world.

Rob later learns through the prophetic paintings of Banana Barbara that the universe is destined to be obliterated by the Void. In an effort to save the main cast, he transforms them into humans to facilitate their escape into "the other place" (likely reality). His warnings go unheeded after his defeat, and he is the first among all to fall into the Void as the destruction begins.

He is voiced by Charles Philipp. As Dr. Wrecker, he was voiced by the late David Warner. His Superintendent Evil disguise was portrayed by Garrick Hagon.

Competency: Partially Incompetent (Can put up a fight and conflict, but generally fails his plans: He nearly succeeded in eliminating Gumball's family in "The Rerun", but would have completely failed if Gumball didn't throw him the remote without thinking: Rob then rewinds his actions through his own volition)

Tone Presence: Minor Game Changer (Darkens the mood in episodes like "The Disaster" and "The Rerun" due to eliminating several main characters and nearly Gumball himself, also in "The Future" and "The Inquisition" due to existential dread, but is often played for laughs and appears in lighthearted episodes like "The Nemesis" and "The Ex.")
