We already know his origin. His name is Courtney, he was in OSI, injected with a super-solider serum, went evil and joined the Guild, not as much evil in his old bones anymore, wife left him, went back to OSI, is now Uncle Vatred.

After the gold that was Billy's origin episode, a Hatred episode would be amazing. How/why was he selected for a super-soldier program? How did he get into the Guild?

And I guess he's keeping the boobs forever?

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


I'm starting to think more and more that Rusty and The Monarch are cousins and that Vendata/The Monarch's dad was Jonas Sr.'s brother. It fits with the name of the show and explains a lot of stuff.

What if the "plane crash" that The Monarch remembers was just one of many X1 crashes on some family outing?

Jonas Sr would abandon any surviving children so this is starting to fall into place :tinfoil:

In a later episode he said that he was only in the woods for a few hours before he got bored and decided to walk out to the freeway, where he was picked up and claimed his vast inheritance. The spending years/a whole summer thing was something he was claiming to build up his backstory for the whole Monarch theme.

That's what he says when he first brings it up. A later episode reveals that he was only there for a few hours before he got bored of the butterflies and found the highway. I want to say it was a Season 3 episode I think?

I like where this is going except for one minor detail: the show is called The Venture Brothers. Hank and Dean, Rusty and Jonas Jr., Jonas Sr. and Mr. The Monarch's Dad (Who you should never ask to do the shopping, since he'll "accidentally" grab a bottle of diet soda), Col. Lloyd Venture and whoever his brother is (Crowley? Tesla?).

I think it could sort of work, though. If Jonas Sr. had a sister, the tone of 'brothers' could explain in part why she's sort of forgotten or didn't get involved with Jonas' Boys Club of Team Venture and intentionally kept her away from the seedier and more dangerous parts of his lifestyle.

Besides, wouldn't whoever she married become Jonas Srs. 'Brother-in-Law'?

A little neat touch I just noticed when looking up the photo of Rusty/Monarch as kids, too. Monarch's mom's dress pattern almost looks like butterflies on it. I hadn't noticed that the first time.

It's not from a later episode, it's from the same origin speech he gives in the first episode. He does that after all the butterflies die, but it's still implied that he spent several weeks or months in the woods. With a highway nearby.

I would say Ghost Robot but it never did seem like he was killed.

Install are you mistaking it when he talked to 24 when they were both henchmen for the Phantom Limb?

He did say he was basically waiting for a fund to transfer and he would do it full time.

You might also be thinking of the first season when he said that.

Time for more theories that will probably be proven wrong!

The new character, Head Shot, seems like he's being set up to play a bigger role in the show at some point. And this most recent episode all but flat-out said Brock's been sleeping with his "girlfriend" Amber. So my money's on him finding out about it and killing off one of the OSI characters in a fit of rage. Or, since his voice is identical to Professor Impossible's, maybe those two turn out to be long-lost twin brothers and team up in the Revenge Society.

OK look, I'm all for the out-there speculation, but basing it off the very limited voice acting cast is just a step too far.
