| ~ The Lord Commander confronting Gary Goodspeed. |
Jack, better known as the Lord Commander, is the secondary antagonist of the adult animated science fantasy series Final Space, serving as the main antagonist of Season 1, one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside Invictus) of Sеason 2 and the secondary antagonist of Season 3.
He is a tyrannical and superpowered alien who is motivated by his desire to become a Titan and rule the multiverse, killing and/or torturing anyone and everyone who dares stand in his way or otherwise. He is the archenemy of Gary Goodspeed, Avocato and Little Cato.
In the pilot episode, he was voiced by the series' creator Olan Rogers. In the official series, he was voiced by David Tennant, who also played Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Brendan Block in Secret Smile, Kilgrave in Marvel's Jessica Jones, Cale Erendreich in Bad Samaritan and Brimscythe in The Legend of Vox Machina.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
In General[]
- Despite Invictus being the underlying factor in his corruption, the Lord Commander ultimately chose to be evil by his own choice, openly saying that "Jack died" when he was "chosen" by the Titans. It's also worth noting that the reason he became evil was because of the amount of power that got to his head, further proving he has a clear moral agency.
- While he does have comedic moments, they do not detract from his heinousness. In fact, most of them just serve to show how truly monstrous and cruel he is.
- Despite all the horrible things that have happened to him, like slowly dying from the overuse of his powers, getting impaled and temporarily killed by Nightfall, having part of his head blown off by Gary, getting his fingers broken by Ash, and finally being imprisoned for eternity in a fate worse than death by Invictus, it does not make him a scapegoat, as every instance is played for satisfaction rather than sympathy due to how monstrous and irredeemable he is, and he completely deserves it.
- Not to mention, he brought nearly all of it upon himself due to overusing his powers, wronging so many innocent people, and betraying Invictus.
Background[]
- It is very obvious that he was unfazed by the sacrifice and death of John Goodspeed, his own best friend and Gary's father, and refused to attend his funeral.
- He also didn't feel any remorse when he learned that he had ripped Gary's arm off and had been trying to kill his best friend's son.
- He killed an entire Tryvuulian hornizon while making an introduction to Avocato and his Ventrexian squad, before quickly telling them to bow down to him.
- Ordered Avocato to help destroy Ventrexia and kill the king and queen.
- He originally tried to kill the prince of Ventrexia, who would later on become Avocato's adopted son Little Cato, when he was only an infant.
- He also told Avocato that Little Cato would be the death of him.
- Ordered Avocato to destroy Kanopus Prime, after obtaining the knowledge on how to reach Final Space. According to Avocato himself, the population of the planet was of 4 billion people.
- He ordered his lieutenants to murder their own first-born children to prove their loyalty to him. When Avocato refused, the Lord Commander imprisoned Little Cato and used him as leverage on Avocato, threatening to kill him if Avocato disobeys him ever again.
- It's also implied that since he gave the entire order to test only the loyalty of Avocato alone, which makes him even worse. It also shows that either he hates children or at least has no issue with hurting them.
- Sometime before the show's events, he killed the entire crew of the Scarlet Lance after they had found Mooncake, and it's also heavily implied that he killed the crew's captain directly.
Season 1[]
- Corrupted the majority of the Infinity Guard, save for a few members such as Quinn Ergon and Tribore Menendez, into helping him open the breach of Final Space by lying about how he will remake the universe for the better.
- Brutally killed a prisoner for making fun of his size during interrogation about Mooncake's whereabouts, before watching with sadistic glee as Bhero eats his corpse.
- When Avocato offered him to turn in Gary and Mooncake in exchange for Little Cato, the Lord Commander cruelly refused his offer and brutally strangled him.
- Ripped Gary's arm off for not telling him where Mooncake is while trying to stop him and Avocato from escaping.
- Destroyed all the eyes of Helper Hula, one of the members of the Order of the Twelve, out of impatience, before threatening to "finish the job" if she won't find Mooncake for him.
- Strangled his servant Eric to near-death, just because he brought him a biscuit bigger than what he would have preferred.
- He brainwashed Little Cato and tried to force him to fight and kill Avocato against his will.
- Killed hundreds of his prisoners just to "surprise" Gary and Avocato, when he was actually setting up a trap for the both of them
- Out of spite for being defeated, he planted a sticky bomb on Little Cato, causing to Avocato to sacrifice his life by taking the bomb.
- In Season 2, when time-travelled Gary confronted Lord Commander over it, the latter remains unapologetic over it, even expressing glee over the fact.
- According to Nightfall, in every timeline where Quinn tried to close the breach alone, Lord Commander killed Gary, which would result in Mooncake going on a rampage, in process accidentally freeing Titans. This means Lord Commander is a despicable person in many timelines.
- Sent a hive of robotic bugs to destroy Galaxy One and retrieve Mooncake, resulting in Team Squad being separated from each other and the temporary deaths of KVN and HUE.
- He traps Mooncake in a laser machine that painfully forces him to open the breach to Final Space, eventually draining him of his powers.
- When Gary attempts to dissuade him from opening the breach by appealing to his former self as Jack, who was Gary's father, John's best friend, the Lord Commander refuses Gary's insistence and rejects "Jack" as his identity, claiming he died when "the Lord Commander" was chosen.
- He snaps when Gary says gaining his powers was a mistake and sends him flying into space, leaving him for dead.
- He was willing to kill everyone in the universe to become a god, nearly doing so when he opened the door to Final Space and caused the Earth to be taken into Final Space by a Titan for Invictus where it was destroyed. By the time of Season 3, Kevin Van Newton was the last survivor on Earth meaning he caused the deaths of billions and the near complete extinction of the human race.
- In addition to this, this means that he was responsible for Todd H. Watson's corruption and actions, including the murder of Clarence.
Season 3[]
- He allied with Invictus to get Mooncake so he can become a Titan, fully going with the plan of consuming life across all dimensions.
- However, it's later revealed that he was using the abomination for his own gain, betraying it so he can become a Titan and support his own goal, ruling every dimension.
- Killed three Arachnitects that were in Final Space to announce his return to Avocato, Little Cato, Fox, Ash Graven and Sheryl Goodspeed (although only the first two know him).
- Choked Little Cato so he would reveal information on where Mooncake was.
- Imprisoned Avocato, Little Cato, Fox, Ash and Sheryl so they would tell him where Mooncake is.
- Choked Little Cato again so Avocato would tell him where Mooncake was.
- Forced Avocato to reveal his backstory and how they met.
- It is heavily implied he was the one who abducted many innocent people and chained them up to asteroid pieces under Invictus' orders.
- He imprisoned Avocato, Little Cato, Sheryl Goodspeed and Fox so Invictus could grow more powerful from them, although Fox was the only one who couldn't escape in time.
- Broke Ash's hands so she could barely use her powers.
- Revealed to Ash that she was chosen by Invictus and tried to make her join him and Invictus.
- Attacked the Team Squad's ship in an attempt to kill them.
- After originally trying to capture Mooncake once again, the Lord Commander quickly switches goals once he sees a Titan hatching in the core of the Earth, trying to merge with the Titan.
- Once he's confronted by Invictus, who's still possessing a zombie Gary, he quickly crushes the zombie with crystals, betraying his master. His wording also implies he will try to kill Invictus, which would be later confirmed.
- Once he finally becomes a Titan by merging with the hatching one, he destroys Earth and the entire KVN Net, which prevented the Team Squad from killing Titans, which also made Kevin Van Newton's sacrifice pointless.
- The Hyper-Transdimensional Bridge was also thrown away in the distance during this.
- He slaughters multiple Titans that stood in his way, including Bolo. He states shortly after that Invictus is his next target.
- His actions of forcing Avocado to kill Little Cato's parents and chaining Fox to an asteroid so Invictus could devour him indirectly influenced Ash to betray the Team Squad, resulting in the abduction of Little Cato, the presumed death of Mooncake, the releasement of Invictus, and the destruction of the universe.
Trivia[]
- While Lord Commander is currently Pure Evil, given the circumstances at the end of Season 3, there is a small chance this may change when Final Space: The Final Chapter releases. However considering his past actions, this is unlikely.
- His pilot version doesn't count as Pure Evil due to not being taken seriously in-universe or by the narrative.
