made its late night debut on Adult Swim, first introducing audiences to a series that would go on to become one of the few utterly essential animated programs of the last two decades. Beginning as a mere parody of animated 1960s adventure serials likesteadily grew into something much more profound, a sprawling and self-referential story of failure, hope and generational strife, penned slowly but surely by co-creators Chris McCulloch and Doc Hammer over two decades.
is a little rough and ready, with animation that doesn’t quite synch up with the rest of the series and certain characters who hadn’t yet rounded the initial edges off the broadest beats of how they’re written, most notably the “complete psychopath” early depictions of Brock Samson.
But of course, this is super science, and it turns out that Rusty has a spare–quite a few of them, in fact. What looks like grief eventually turns to hilarity in the season 2 premiere, as Dr. Orpheus and the viewers learn simultaneously that Hank and Dean, being “death prone,” as Doc describes it, have already died quite a few times in the past. And each time that happens, Rusty simply turns to a ready supply of clone bodies, kept warm for just such an occasion.
What follows is a journey of discovery for 21, seeing the portly goon–we soon learn that his name is Gary–discover a more professional, dangerous side of himself as he ascends the villainous ladder, all while grappling with the scarring psychological fallout of 24’s demise. Gary grows into a fearsome character all his own in the subsequent seasons, pursuing fulfillment even as he reevaluates the nature of his relationships with The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend.
