Moustache Man, otherwise known as Mr. Zhomp Clu, is a mad scientist with a gigantic moustache. He's often villanous.
In the real world, he originated in a nightmare Chris had as a kid, and was adapted for PCGs many years later, multiple times by different people. It's unclear if these versions are the same person in-universe or not.
The first one was Mr. Zhomp Qlu, the scientist who created the ZooChompers.
Another Moustache Man was also the leader of a Company facility in Company Town. It's not known if this was the same individual.
Finally, a third version of Moustache Man appeared in Xaq's dream while held captive in The Shadow Realm (Moonbase).
History[]
Early Life[]
As a kid, he was a bully, using his moustache to bully other kids. A young girl named Lily, seeing him bully a boy she was walking with, was impressed and became quick friends with him. Together, they used to play in a nearby castle. ("Zoovac: The Life and Times of a Clown on a Stick")
Company Town[]
Moustache Man was the cruel leader of a Company facility, the one where Zoovac was created. He would assign Zoovac his missions. He plotted to retake the Castle where he'd played with Lily as a child. ("Zoovac: The Life and Times of a Clown on a Stick")
Zoo Chompers[]
- This section details events following Mr. Zhomp Qlu, who may or may not be the same Moustache Man as the one from Company Town.
Mr. Zhomp Qlu was a scientist who grew to hate the oppressive presence of the Space-Balls, who were constantly raiding his planet, and began to turn his scientific genius to the creation of a countermeasure.
He created a new species which would be able to successfully overcome the Space-Balls; these were known as Zoo Chompers. They were gelatinous creatures that could eat absolutely anything and were next to impossible to destroy.
Unfortunately, Moustache Man proved unable to control his own creations, who would multiply, mutate, and run rampant across the world thereafter. They have become an incredibly dangerous race in their own right. (Space-Balls Series: "Dino's Quest")
In Dreams[]
Moustache Man appeared in Xaq's dream, while held in The Shadow Realm (Moonbase). In the dream, Moustache Man worked for the Company, along with Superman and Goo. He repeatedly killed Xaq and harvested carrots from his corpse. ("PCG Anniversary Special II" by Chris)
Background[]
- The character of "Moustache Man" originated as a villain from Chris' dreams.
- He was named after "Mr. Zhomp Qlu", Xaq's handle in a video game. "Zoo Chompers" are also references to that name, as Kurt Elfman first made the handle "Zoo Chomper" in that game to indicate his intended victory over Zhomp Qlu.
