You've been very naughty, Chloékins. And Despair Bear is not proud of you. The time has come to make you pay!
~ Despair Bear

Despair Bear is the akumatized villain from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir and the akumatized form of Butler Jean.

Appearance[]

When akumatized, he is doll-sized. His eyes are glowing green, and his mustache is long and black, bending upward at the tips. A black tear-like mark is on his left cheek below his eye. He wears a black head cover that only leaves his face exposed, a black tunic has glowing green lines around his neck and on his chest. Additionally, he wears black leggings, a glowing green line around his left knee, and black gloves.

He controls Mr. Cuddly, which is dark purple with a white chest, white muzzle, white inner ears. It also has a black mouth, black nose, and glowing green eyes.

Personality[]

As Despair Bear, he is very strict in expectations on how people should act and he is vengeful towards Chloé for being a terrible person. He doesn't like losing, getting very angry and trying to attack Cat Noir despite being very tiny and unable to do damage without the bear.

Powers and Abilities[]

Despair Bear controls an akumatized Mr. Cuddly from the inside using strings and metal levers. . Despair Bear himself is doll sized, while Mr. Cuddly is the size of a small stuffed teddy bear. This enables his to move around quickly without being seen. Mr. Cuddly can also jump far distances. He is also capable of lifting very heavy objects and possesses superhuman speed and strength. The bear moves very quickly and it is able to crawl on walls.

The bear can latch onto humans' bodies (often their legs), which gives Despair Bear control of the mind and body of the human. When under his control, the person's eyes become green. Despair Bear uses the strings and levers from inside the akumatized Mr. Cuddly to control the person, and he can talk through the person he is controlling. He can also use a persons abilities or powers when controlling them, as seen when he uses Cat Noir’s Cataclysm. Once he is knocked off, unable to hold on, or willing to let go of the victim, the victim gains control of themselves but doesn't remember what happened during his control over them.
