Mandark is a NPC in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall and its fan revivals. He is a human super-genius and the owner of Mandark Industries. He is also the rival and nemesis of the world-renowed inventor Dexter. Essentially a much darker scientist than Dexter, Mandark's greed and ego has made him obsessed with besting Dexter and prove himself the superior genius, which has only kept him and his company in the shadows of DexLabs. Only his eagerness to impress his love interest Dee Dee manages to quell Mandark's evil tendencies. Like Dexter, Mandark moved to Downtown when his company became successful, but he left his original lab intact.[1]
During the Fusion Invasion, Mandark has formed an uneasy alliance with Dexter to defeat Lord Fuse,[2] although he still wastes no opportunity as the war rages on to prove his superiority.

History[]
FusionFall: Worlds Collide[]
Dexter and Mandark's Alliance
In the manga, Mandark confronts an infiltration team consisting of Numbuh 5, Mac, Bloo, and Dee Dee. The group demands his Pase-Pulse-O-Tron needed to complete the Electro-Pulse Cannon. Though initially defiant, his infatuation with Dee Dee led him to easily and willingly hand it over on the condition that he came along. Together with a reluctant Dexter, they program the EPC to disable the biggest of the first three Terrafusers that landed on Earth. However, Mandark's love for Dee Dee also distracted him, leading to a fatal error that prevented the cannon from launching at a crucial moment.
Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall[]
Prior to FusionFall[]
Prior to Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall, Mandark founded Mandark Industries in an effort to one up Dexter's company Dexlabs, and nearly everything his company makes is a copy of Dexlabs technology.
Fusion Invasion[]
The Future[]
In the Future, he is located by Dexter's old house in Genius Grove, as his old house has become an Infected Zone. He helps the player rebuild Dexter's time machine so he/she can return the Past.
The Past[]
Mandark in the Past
In the Past, Mandark can be found in front of his company building in Tech Square. He no longer uses his old lab now that his old house in Genius Grove has fallen victim to the Fusion invasion and has been turned into an Infected Zone. Though he is against Fuse's invasion, his rivalry with Dexter often leads him to undermine his nemesis' attempts to turn the tides of the war to gain glory for himself.
To further exploit Fuse's weakness to Imaginary Energy, Mandark has enlisted Bloo and Mac to participate in a study that requires the best Kid/Imaginary Friend pair there is. He is currently building a research center called the Imaginasium near Foster's Home to initiate the research project. The construction is being overseen by Frankie, who constantly gets into quarrels with Mandark Industries Representatives, and even Mandark himself, about the structure's display.[3][4]
Leet Cheats (Nano Mission)[]
During the mission to face Fusion Mandark for the Mandark Nano, Fusion Mandark took control of some of his Mandroids and sent them to attack the player in his lair. The player successfully destroys all of them, though not without upsetting Mandark, and defeats the Fusion.
Mandark's Fusion Crush []
Mandark's love of Dee Dee also caused him to be manipulated by her evil doppelganger, Fusion Dee Dee, making him steal Dexter's wrench (which Fuse uses to make a Fusion Dexter). Through the efforts of the original Dee Dee, Fusion Dee Dee was defeated and Mandark realized his mistake.
Bet on Ben[]
Aside from Dexter, Mandark doesn't get along very well with Mojo Jojo or Vilgax, as he believes that both of them are trying to steal his company's secrets. Fusion Ben was able to exploit this fact in order to cause the three to come together in a battle royale at the Skypad Space Port Infected Zone. Fortunately, the battle was quelled thanks to the original Ben and the three villains returned to being bitter enemies.
Planetoid Fusion[]
When Planetoid Fusion broke off from Planet Fusion and headed for Earth, Dexter asked Mandark for a part for an Ion cannon he was building to shoot the planetoid down. What Dexter didn't know was that Mandark had sabotaged the part to render the Ion cannon useless, leaving his new weapon in the Really Twisted Forest alone to defend the Earth. Using a missile array borrowed from Vilgax, Mandark fine-tuned his weapon for its mission. Ironically, Vilgax had tampered with both Dexter's and Mandark's cannons so that they would hit Planet Fusion instead of it's planetoid. The planetoid itself was destroyed by Courage when he reversed the polarities on a UFO magnet in Nowhere that tore the planetoid from its foundation, thus crushing it and leaving Mandark humiliated.
Other appearances[]
A flight set based on Mandark's outfit is obtainable by doing Guide Missions for Mojo Jojo. There is also a racing set based on his appearance in "Mock 5" that can be acquired by defeating Fusion Monsters.
There is also a hovercar and jetbike based on Mandark's company, Mandark Industries.

Origin[]
Mandark, from Dexter's Laboratory.
Susan Astronomanov, more infamously known as Mandark, originates from the 1995 American animated television series Dexter's Laboratory. In that media, he is the show's main antagonist. The arch rival and nemesis of Dexter, Mandark is a certifiable boy genius who is just as brillant of Dexter. Unlike Dexter though, Mandark is much more mean and twisted, being bend on using his intellect to prove his superiority to everyone else (especially Dexter) and achieve complete dominance over all. However, his greed and ego are ultimately the hubris that keep him one step behind Dexter.
The child of the hippies Oceanbird and Windbear, Mandark was born with bookish and aggressive tendencies which were woefully out of place in his community. Eventually, this life became too much for Mandark, and he and his family soon moved to Dexter's neighborhood. Upon meeting Dexter, who laughed at him for his name, Mandark's rage was unleashed and he fully embraced his dark nature. Establishing a more impressive laboratory than Dexter's, Mandark reunited with Dexter in his class as the new school year began where he humiliated Dexter again and again until he shut down his lab. However, Mandark soon developed a huge crush on Dexter's sister, Dee Dee. Manipulating Mandark, Dexter got him to invite Dee Dee over, who proceeded to destroy Mandark's lab and crush his spirit. From then on, Mandark remained consistently one step behind his rival, whom he would clash with again and again to prove his superiority.
Trivia[]
- Future Mandark misses the others.
- Fusion Mandark, at first, was a level lower than the player (level 18), but that was eventually fixed.[7]

Mac and Bloo are practically inseparable, so it's no surprise that when Mandark Industries comes looking for the best kid/friend pair available to participate in a study that they are conducting, Mac and Bloo are the ideal candidates. Being a kid, Mac is pretty much unaware of the severe danger his world is in, though he knows it's serious. The older heroes are careful to keep Mac out of harm's way, though they like having him around the command center and give him lots of little tasks to perform."

Frankie is the peaceful sort and has no interest in getting involved in the war with the alien invaders. She's most concerned about keeping her residents safe. To keep her mind off the conflict, Frankie has adopted the Imaginasium construction project as her own, though she often gets into arguments with Mandark Industries representatives, or Mandark himself, about the nature of the building's displays."
