Commander Drex, or simply known as Drex, is the main antagonist in the movie Super Buddies. He is a body possessing alien that wants the power rings of Inspiron for his own purposes to create an empire of his own ideologies.
Role in the film[]
In the origin comic book read by Bartleby, it was heard that in the earth year of 1985, Drex had been tracking down the rings from Megasus in space. However, the events turned out to be real as Drex was seen landing on earth near the farm. While trying to learn the rings whereabouts, he possessed the body of a pig (thinking it was a human). The following morning, Bartelby's grandfather Martin realizes that one of his pigs turned green (Drex). After driving around, he finds out the Buddies had the rings and eventually took over Sheriff Dan's body (again, with a greenish hue). He had the real Dan locked up in his own jail cell with the pig's body.
At the farm, he makes a demand of Bartleby and his friends: give him the rings, or he will destroy the dogs. After Bartleby gives him the rings, Drex reveals he already has a meteor ready to hurl toward Earth. During the final battle, Megasis is severely electrocuted by Drex, but Drex loses the upper hand when the Buddies (and eventually Bartleby's grandfather) demonstrate their powers and abilities. When Monk-E decides to abandon Drex, Drex aborts his mission and attempts to leave Earth. He tries to use the rings, but they turn out to be plastic ones from bags of dog food—they tricked him. As a result, Drex crashes into a meteor and is killed on impact.
