(during which he freezes up and receives random radio signals of a holo-vision soap opera series, Lance and Janice, in his head) until being whacked by Lawrence or any of his allies. While Nefarious is neither seen nor mentioned, his Amoeboids appear in Blackwater City on Rilgar in the original Ratchet & Clank. This suggests that he was involved in or aware of the plans of Chairman Drek, an idea that is later hinted at in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One when Lawrence and Nefarious both mention the Blarg. This would also explain his inclusion as the main antagonist in the Ratchet & Clank remake and tie-in film. In Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Dr. Nefarious resurfaces once again, this time forming an alliance with a race of primitive aliens called Tyhrranoids and arming them with advanced technology and even secretly recruiting the robot popstar sensation Courtney Gears to put subliminal anti-organic messages in her videos. He then started a campaign to exterminate all organic lifeforms in the Solana Galaxy planet by planet. Nefarious then creates and unleashes the "Biobliterator", a superweapon that turns all organic lifeforms into robots so that he can unify the galaxy under his "benevolent, iron-fisted rule" and usher in the new "Age of Robots". He also attempts to convince Clank to join his cause, being a big fan of the small robot's appearances in the "Secret Agent Clank" holo-vision show, of which he owns a copy of every episode as he mistakenly believes that the show is real. When Clank refuses, Nefarious captures and replaces him with a look-alike doppelgänger whom he names Klunk. Eventually, Ratchet defeats Klunk and rescues Clank. The duo travel to planet Koros and destroys the first Biobliterator with an ion cannon. Nefarious then reveals he has a secondary Biobliterator ready and waiting on planet Mylon; this one is capable of transforming into a giant robot which Nefarious himself pilots. Ratchet and Clank manage to destroy it with the aid of Captain Qwark, forcing Nefarious and Lawrence to teleport away to safety. In his haste to avoid getting blown up, however, Nefarious doesn't bother to specify an exact destination and they both end up stranded on a drifting asteroid in deep space for between "5 or 10,000 years," as Lawrence puts it, until they can come within range of another
