Pastmaster

Latest revision as of 16:28, 25 January 2010

One of the Swat Kats' first foes, the Pastmaster is an undead, skeletal sorcerer from the Dark Ages. His powers are many and varied, and most come from his magical pocketwatch, which has the power to open Time Vortices to either send Kats and objects through them, or summon them forth from other time periods. It can also be used to fire a destructive red beam, or, if the Pastmaster so desires, he can use it to give life to the dead and/or otherwise inanimate. He has control over any creature he brings to life or summons through from a portal and it will mindlessly do his bidding.

The Pastmaster was imprisoned for his evil deeds by the magic council of Megalith City within the Casket of The Ages, where he remained for 800 years. In the present-day Megakat City a graveyard was built over his tomb, and the Casket was dug up by two grave robbers, Jack and Tom. Tom accidentally awakened him in trying to take his gold pocketwatch, and the Pastmaster promptly set out to recover his spellbook, the Tome of Time, from the Megakat City Museum of History. Obtaining the book, the Pastmaster attempted to use a spell cotnained within to transform Megakat City back to Megalith City by opening up a Time Vortex. He was defeated by the timely arrival of the Swat Kats, who knocked him through the Vortex and back into the Dark Ages.

Time and again, he has come back to take revenge and to win, and though he is always defeated by the Swat Kats, he never gives up. The Pastmaster despises all forms of modern technology (though he teamed up with the Metallikats once), and will stop at nothing to rid the world of it and return things to former "glory" of his beloved Dark Ages.
