Batty-Man (voiced by Allen Swift) is a vampire villain who commands a massive army of Giant Bats and lives in Belfrey Castle. He is aided by his assistant vampire, Georgie (voiced by George S. Irving)

In "Batty-Man", he and his batty army have caused a crime wave nationwide. Underdog, the police, and everyone in the country were baffled because of these crime waves. The crime wave was arranged to make Underdog powerless enough so Batty-man can't be stopped from pulling the crime of the century. Soon, Underdog found out Batty-Man was the crook behind the crime wave after Sweet Polly was taken captive. Underdog had to rescue her and had to defeat Batty Man, but failed and was captured. Batty-Man later planned to steal all the gold in Fort Knox and use them to go to Europe, by turning the gold into bowling balls. Underdog and Polly escaped before they could get turned into bowling balls and stopped Batty Man and everything was returned to its rightful owners.

After his arrest in "Batty-Man", Batty-Man was freed from prison by Simon Bar Sinister. He, along with Riff Raff and Slippery Eel were enlisted to help Simon with his Vacuum Gun plan, which Underdog later stopped.

Bubblehead Empire

"Appearances:" The Bubbleheads

The Bubblehead Empire is a society of people who all wear air helmets and live under the sea, in the city of Maldemare. They command Sea Creatures to do their bidding and deal with their prisoners by feeding them to a Giant Clam. The city is ruled by the Bubblehead Emperor, who in turn, was ruled by the Bubblehead Empress.

The Empress was tired of living under the sea, so she wanted to take over the dry land. The Bubblehead Scientists worked to destroy the land, using earthquakes and volcanoes, but those two evil plans were foiled by Underdog. Resulting in this, the two scientists were fed to the Giant Clam. The third evil plot was to use a machine creating a tidal wave powerful enough to destroy the Earth. Soon, everybody around the world was aware that something peculiar was happening to the ocean. Sweet Polly Purebread, with the aid from one of the world's leading scientists, Prof. Moby Von Ahab (name being a take-off on Captain Ahab and Moby Dick), investigated what was happening under the sea, but were eventually captured and tossed into the Giant Clam. Underdog got word that his friends were held captive, and rescued Sweet Polly and the Professor and destroyed the Tidal Wave machine.

The Marbleheads

"Appearances:" The Marbleheads

The Marbleheads are people made of marbel. Captain Marbelhead (voiced by Allen Swift) is the dictator of their planet. Captain Marblehead holds their most powerful weapon the Granite Gun that could turn anyone into solid stone and used it on Underdog but to Marblehead's shock he breaks free. Underdog defeats the Marbelheads and the Granite Gun and frees all the slaves.

The Molemen

"Appearances:" The Molemen

The Molemen are an evil society of giant moles who live underground, led by the evil King Mange (voiced by Allen Swift) and plan to conquer the world by stealing all the food in the world, thus making everybody weak, sluggish and without energy. With this advantage, the Molemen and their ants would have no problem conquering the world.

As Sweet Polly was investigating the thefts, she was captured by King Mange, and Underdog was called to rescue her, but he was succumbed to the Mole-Hole Gun, the Molemen's secret weapon. Afterwards, he was captured. King Mange threatened to destroy Sweet Polly if Underdog didn't do what Mange said. Underdog got Polly free, and had the answer to everyone's energy problems. He filled every water reservoir in the world with his Super Energy Vitamin Pills, filling the water with tremendous energy. Soon after, the citizens had enough energy to escape the Molemen attack and the Army had the strength to fight. King Mange was eventually defeated and arrested.

Overcat

"Appearances:" Underdog vs. Overcat

Overcat is a giant cat who was once the infamous ruler of the planet Felina. He is a bully and is very arrogant and he also has all of Underdog's powers. He is voiced by Allen Swift.

One day on Felina, the milk wells ran dry, so Overcat stole the cows from the Earth and kidnapped Sweet Polly and forced her to milk the cows so the giant cats of Felina can have a lifetime supply of milk. After Underdog rescued Polly and the cows, Overcat challenged Underdog to a winner-takes-all fight. Unless Underdog fought Overcat, the giant cats of Felina would destroy the Earth. As Underdog fought Overcat, it appeared Overcat had the upper-hand, but due to Overcat's size and lack of speed, Underdog came out the victor. Underdog promised the giant cats of Felina to give them milk growing from coconut trees if the giant cats banished Overcat from Felina and let the other worlds live as they pleased. Underdog carried out the promise, and all the cats were happy, because with the coconut trees, the cats won't run out of milk. Overcat, after being banished from Felina, swore he would find another planet to conquer and train harder to become stronger and one day, he would return to Earth to wipe out Underdog.

lippery Eel (A.K.A. Electric Eel)

"Appearances:" A New Villain, The Vacuum Gun

Slippery Eel is one of the world's most dangerous criminals. He got the name Electric Eel after he was electrocuted by the gates of the prison wall while he was trying to bust out of prison. After getting electrocuted by the gates, he gained the power to control electricity.

Tap-Tap the Chiseler

"Appearances:" From Hopeless to Helpless, Tricky-Trap by Tap-Tap

Tap-Tap the Chiseler is a criminal that chisels jewelry, making them into smaller pieces of jewelry. He bears an amazing resemblance to Underdog, and Tap-Tap can use this advantage to impersonate Underdog. He also seems to be close friends with Riff Raff. He is voiced by George S. Irving.

In "From Hopeless to Helpless", after Riff Raff stole the Hopeless Diamond, Tap-Tap was hired to help break apart the Hopeless Diamond so Riff Raff can sell it and impersonate Underdog to pull crimes all over town. Everyone, including Sweet Polly, thought Underdog turned to crime and Underdog was sent to jail. Tap-Tap pulled the crimes so excellently, even Underdog was convinced he is guilty, believing he sleepwalked when the crimes were pulled. Riff Raff needed Underdog to break the Hopeless Diamond into a million pieces when Tap-Tap failed to cut it, so, they broke Underdog out of jail and told Underdog Tap-Tap imitated him. After Underdog got the Hopeless Diamond back he apprehended Tap-Tap, Riff Raff and Mooch and explained to the townspeople of how Tap-Tap imitated him and framed him for the crimes. And so, the townspeople had apologized to Underdog for the misunderstanding, and prior to the episode "Tricky-Trap by Tap-Tap", Tap-Tap was sent to prison.

At that point, Tap-Tap disguised himself as Underdog and broke out of jail on the same day Underdog was visiting the prison. His plan was to purchase a bomb from a bomb factory and borrow a policeman's handcuffs. He used the handcuffs to cuff himself to Sweet Polly, and used the bomb to blow himself and Polly to bits if Underdog didn't do what he said. Underdog found out what was happening and jetted off to the TTV Building to stop Tap-Tap. After Underdog stopped Tap-Tap, Tap-Tap was rearrested.

Wicked Witch of Pickyoon

"Appearances:" The Witch of Pickyoon

The Wicked Witch of Pickyoon is an evil witch who rules over the strange land of the Pickyoons and has enslaved all who inhabit the lands. She lives in a castle in the mountains of Pickyoon.

She wishes to be the most powerful being in all of Pickyoon, that is, until Underdog came. She planned to capture Sweet Polly and put Underdog in her power. She put a spell on Sweet Polly, causing her to fall asleep for 1000 Years. The Witch was the only one who knew how to break the spell (although, everybody knows the only way to break a spell is as if the hero kisses someone under the spell). If she was going to tell Underdog how to undo the spell, she forced him to perform three tasks: steal water and diamonds and help her assemble and army to conquer the world. Unless Underdog helped the Witch with those tasks, she would not break the spell that was casted on Sweet Polly. Underdog refused to accomplish the tasks, for it would make him as wicked as the Witch. But every time Underdog refused to do the tasks, the Witch reminded him that Polly would sleep for 1000 years unless he did what she said. Underdog struck water by burrowing through the depths of Pickyoon and made diamonds out of coal, and all that was left was to help the Witch conquer the world. When Underdog refused to perform the final task, he eventually got into a fight with the Witch. After the fight, the Witch disappeared forever after Underdog destroyed her broom. After destroying the Witch, Underdog awakened Polly with a kiss and the people of Pickyoon were freed from the Witch's grasp.

Zorm

"Appearances:" Round and Round

Zorm is the ruler of a strange planet. He plans to take over the world, but in order to do that, he intends to keep Underdog from interfering. He sent Cron, one of his henchmen, to Earth. He put a charm around Underdog's neck, causing him to fall under his dizzy spell when he is standing.

Reformed villains

The Cloud Men

"Appearances:" The Silver Thieves

The Cloud Men are a race of ghost-like creatures. They live on the Planet Cumulus and are led by King Cumulus Regulus (voiced by Allen Swift). When people "interfere with them", in other words, when people attack them, they lightning jolt them. They steal all the silver on Earth, including Underdog's ring, because all clouds need a silver lining. When Underdog and Sweet Polly head for a conveyor belt, Underdog finds his ring and takes the Underdog energy vitamin pill. Underdog defeats the Cloudmen, and in the end, the Cloud men trade gold for silver with the earth.

The Flying Sorcerers

"Appearances:" The Flying Sorcerers

The Flying Sorcerers are a strange alien race led by King Cup (voiced by Allen Swift).

King Cup sent his twin sons, Prince Brac and Prince Bric to find someone who can bake a cake for his people after the old baker was fired. The first two baking slaves they found were a Magnet Man and an inhabitant of Zot, but they couldn't bake a cake that tasted like cake. Then, they found Sweet Polly to be their new baking slave. Before Underdog could rescue her, Bric and Brac transformed him into a bouncing ball. Sweet Polly was forced to bake 500 cakes for the Flying Sorcerers, but her weariness from baking the other cakes made her fall into the giant mixing bowl she was using to make 500 cakes. Underdog freed himself from Bric and Brac's spell and defeated the Flying Sorcerers. At first, King Cup was upset that Underdog was bringing his baking slave home, but after vowing he wouldn't abuse others again, he received one of Sweet Polly's cake recipes so he can make a cake for his people.
