Royal Pain
Royal Pain (a.k.a Gwendoline "Gwen" Grayson and Susan "Sue" Tenny) is the main antagonist in Sky High.
History[]
Prior to meeting the Hundred Acre Crew, Royal Pain was born as Susan Tenney. In her teen years, she attended Sky High. During her time there, however, she was labeled as a sidekick rather than a hero, and was bullied as a result. All this torment eventually pushed her over the edge, and after leaving Sky High, she adopted the supervillain persona of Royal Pain, the nemesis of the Commander and his sidekick, the All-American Boy.
One day, she had managed to capture the duo and was preparing to test one her newest invention, the Pacifier, on them. She was interrupted, however, when the superhero Jetstream crashed through the window of the warehouse she was holding them in. After Jetstream helped free the Commander, the latter fought with Royal Pain for the Pacifier. The struggle resulted in the device being broken and backfiring.
After the fight, Royal Pain was nowhere to be seen, and was presumed dead by the Commander, Jetstream, and American Boy. Unbeknownst to them, however, she had been turned into an infant by the Pacifier, as her minion Stitches took her in and raised her as his own daughter while the heroes took the Pacifier as a souvenir.
Many years later, she returned to the place where she had built the Pacifier, Sky High. Once there, she plotted her revenge at the Homecoming dance from the shadows. Going by the alias of Gwen Grayson, she became the girlfriend of the Commander and Jetstream's son, Will Stronghold. Using her relationship with Will, she tricked him into taking her into his parents' secret lair, the Secret Sanctum, and stole the Pacifier back.
When the night of Homecoming finally came, Gwen revealed her true colors and attacked, using the Pacifier to de-age not only the Commander and Jetstream, but also all the students who were there, save for Lash, Speed, and Penny, all of whom were working for her. Her ultimate plan was to not only destroy the school, but also to raise the meta-human students of Sky High and train them to become supervillains.
This plan failed, however, thanks to the intervention of Will, Layla, and their friends, who fought Gwen and her crew and stopped the school from crashing to the ground. And as a result, Gwen and her fellow meta-human teenagers were expelled from Sky High by Principal Powers and put in jail for their crimes.
Sometime after what happened at Sky High, Royal Pain escaped from jail. Vowing revenge on Pooh and friends for ruining her plans, she met and joined the Dark Masters, all of whom shared her hatred for the stuffed bear and his friends.
