<!--Characters listed chronologically by their debut.-->
===Pete===
{{main|Pete (Disney)}}
'''Pete''' (also called Peg-Leg Pete or Black Pete among other names) is a large, overweight anthropomorphic cat. He is the most recurring [[antagonist]] in Mickey Mouse stories. He was first introduced in 1925 as a bear. His character ranges from a hardened criminal to an ethical menace: depending on the context, he is either Mickey's [[archenemy]] or a simple nuisance. In the earlier comic strip storyline he was paired with [[#Sylvester Shyster|Sylvester Shyster]] before evolving into the main villain. In the ''[[Goof Troop]]'' TV series and subsequent film adaptations, he is depicted as Goofy's exploitative friend and neighbor.

=== Kat Nipp ===
[[File:Kat Nipp in The Karnival Kid.png|thumb|Kat Nipp in ''The Karnival Kid'' (1929)]]
'''Kat Nipp''' (not to be confused with the [[Harvey Comics]] character [[Katnip]]), his name a play on the word [[catnip]], is a villainous [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] cat. Kat Nipp is an often-drunk countryside tough guy who is a rival of [[Mickey Mouse]].

Nipp made his debut in the animated short ''[[The Opry House]]'' (1929), in which he posed as a snake for a snake-charming act—continuing to smoke his pipe all the while. Nipp's other two appearances in animation also came in 1929, with ''[[When the Cat's Away (1929 film)|When the Cat's Away]]'' and ''[[The Karnival Kid]]''. The latter film introduced Nipp's habit of physically abusing Mickey, here by stretching out Mickey's nose to a ridiculous length. Kat Nipp is often mistaken for [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]].

Kat Nipp reappeared in a 1931 sequence of the Mickey Mouse newspaper comic strip (in which his friend Barnacle Bill, a sailor who is an expert in untying knots, appears). Kat Nipp was also used in the strips produced in the United Kingdom for the Mickey Mouse Annual. The character quickly faded away and has made only a handful of comics appearances since the mid-1930s.

Kat Nipp appears in the video game ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' (2018), appearing in the minigame "The Karnival Kid" with his appearance from the short film of the same name, among the characters who order menus from [[Sora (Kingdom Hearts)|Sora]].

=== Sylvester Shyster ===
'''Sylvester Shyster''' is a crooked lawyer and evil criminal mastermind who generally teams up with [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]]. The character has been described by some as a [[weasel]] or a rat (the latter being Gottfredson's own interpretation), but his ears suggest that he is rather an [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] [[Canidae|canine]].

He first appeared in the comic strip adventure "Mickey Mouse in Death Valley", the first real Mickey Mouse continuity, which was partially written by Walt Disney and drawn by Win Smith and other artists, before being taken over by [[Floyd Gottfredson]] (plot and art). In this story, Sylvester Shyster was a crooked lawyer who attempted, with the help of his henchman Pete, to deprive [[Minnie Mouse]] of her inheritance.

Shyster and Pete have been causing trouble for Mickey and his friends since then. Shyster is generally depicted as the duo's brain, with Pete acting as the brawn. After Shyster's first appearance, Gottfredson made no further references to his profession as a lawyer, apart from his name. Later creators occasionally referenced Shyster's role as a lawyer, with one story ("Trial and Error," 2007) forcing Shyster to defend Mickey himself in an overseas courtroom. After 1934, Shyster disappeared for a time, leaving Pete as Mickey's main recurring antagonists. He made comebacks in 1942, 1950 and again in various 1960s Italian-created stories. More recently, publisher [[Egmont (media group)|Egmont Creative A/S]] (in Denmark) revived Shyster as a regular character, a capacity in which he continues today.

Although Sylvester Shyster has not made an animated appearance in any Disney production, he appears briefly in the episode "Who Ate Wally's Waffles?" of the series ''[[Paradise PD]]'' at the entrance of [[Walt Disney World|Disney World]], being to date the only appearance in animation of the character.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Who Ate Wally's Waffles? |series=[[Paradise PD]] |network=[[Netflix]] |season=2 |number=4 }} ‒ Minute 20:10; Sylvester Shyster, Horace Horsecollar, Pete and Clarabelle Cow make an appearance as [[Walt Disney World|Disney World]] employees.</ref>

=== The Mad Doctor ===
{{Main|The Mad Doctor (1933 film)}}
'''The Mad Doctor''' (also known as '''Dr. XXX''') is a human [[mad scientist]] who serves as an infrequent antagonist of Mickey's. He first appeared in [[The Mad Doctor (1933 film)|his self-titled short]], in which he attempted to operate on Pluto by attaching his body to that of a chicken; this entire sequence turned out to be a dream.

The Mad Doctor makes a cameo appearance in the [[Roger Rabbit]] short ''[[Tummy Trouble]]'', where a photo of him can be seen on the hospital wall.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Every Hidden Reference in Roger Rabbit's "Tummy Trouble" |language=en-US |work=Laser Time |url=http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/2018/06/22/every-hidden-reference-in-roger-rabbits-tummy-trouble/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190602040558/http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/2018/06/22/every-hidden-reference-in-roger-rabbits-tummy-trouble/ |access-date=2023-03-05|archive-date=June 2, 2019 }}</ref>

He appears as an antagonist in some video games, being a boss enemy in ''[[Mickey Mania]]'', a major antagonist in ''[[Epic Mickey]]'' and its sequel ''[[Epic Mickey 2]]'', and an enemy in a mini-game of ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''.

=== Professors Ecks, Doublex, and Triplex ===
'''Professors Eck, Doublex, and Triplex''' are the trio of [[ape]] mad scientists. The characters were created by [[Floyd Gottfredson]] (plot and art) in the [[Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|''Mickey Mouse'']] comic strip in the ''Blaggard Castle'' storyline (1932-1933). Ecks is menacing black monkey, Doublex looks like him, but with light skin and wild black eyes, and Triplex is a more monstrous looking ape with long messy hair and bare feet. Triplex is the leader of the trio, and Ecks and Doublex find him frightening. While Gottfredson didn't mention any familial relationship, most later comics have presented the trio as brothers.<ref name="Slicker2">{{cite book |last1=Gottfredson |first1=Floyd |title=Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, vol 2: Trapped on Treasure Island |date=2011 |publisher=Fantagraphics Books |isbn=9781606994955 |location=Seattle, WA |pages=256}}</ref>

Gottfredson never featured the three professors in another story after ''Blaggard Castle'', but they were memorable enough to return in stories under other authors in the 1970s.<ref name="Slicker2" />

Professor Ecks was originally considered for the role of the mad scientist in ''[[Runaway Brain]]'', but it was later changed to a new character, Doctor Frankenollie.<ref name="Slicker2" />

=== Eli Squinch ===
'''Eli Squinch''' is an evil miser who first appeared as a villain in the ''[[Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|Mickey Mouse]]'' comic strip in the ''[[#Bobo the Elephant|Bobo the Elephant]]'' storyline (1934) as the abusive owner of an elephant which Mickey later forced Squinch to sell him. Squinch returned in several more storylines: originally depicted as an unscrupulous businessman, he evolved into an all-out criminal, playing alongside [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]] a role similar to [[#Sylvester Shyster|Sylvester Shyster]]'s in earlier strips. He has reappeared sporadically in additional Disney comics stories up to the present day. His most recent United States appearance was in ''[[Mickey Mouse (comic book)|Mickey Mouse]]'' No. 321 (2016), published by [[IDW Publishing|IDW]].

=== Doctor Vulter ===
'''Doctor Vulter''' is an [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] ape, resembling a gorilla. The character was created by [[Ted Osborne]] (plot) and [[Floyd Gottfredson]] (plot and art) in the story ''Mickey Mouse and the Pirate Submarine'', published in the ''Mickey Mouse'' [[daily strip]] from September 1935 to January 1936. He is a megalomaniacal [[pirate]] [[Captain (nautical)|captain]] and [[mad scientist]], somewhat modeled after [[Jules Verne]]'s [[Captain Nemo]] character. Using a futuristic submarine and a small army of henchmen, he plagues the seas by stealing various ships which he aims to use for his plans of world conquest. His principal weapon is a machine in the form of a large claw which gives off magnetic-like energy: by placing it against a ship's hull Vulter can turn the whole metal ship into one large magnet which sticks weapons to the wall, making them useless.

Vulter's Germanic-sounding name, his uniform and [[monocle]], as well as his plans of world domination and militaristic gang, are obvious echoes of the [[Nazi]] menace of the time.

After being defeated by Mickey, Vulter never appeared again in American stories. He was later used by Italian authors, starting with the 1959 story ''Topolino e il ritorno dell'artiglio magnetico'' ("Mickey Mouse and the Return of the Magnetic Claw") by [[Guido Martina]] (plot) and [[Giulio Chierchini]] (art). The character was further elaborated in this story by the claim that he never drew plans of his inventions but kept it all in his mind; this proved a bit of a problem when he suffered from [[amnesia]]. He returned occasionally and is still used from time to time by European authors.

=== Mortimer Mouse ===
'''Mortimer Mouse''' – not to be confused with Minnie Mouse's uncle also named [[#Uncle Mortimer|Mortimer Mouse]] – is introduced in the 1936 cartoon short ''[[Mickey's Rival]]'', as Mickey's competitor for Minnie's affections. The year ''Mickey's Rival'' was produced, Floyd Gottfredson also used the character as an antagonist in one of the comic strip's storylines. In the comics, this Mortimer was briefly renamed Montmorency Rodent (pronounced "Ro-Dawn"), in an attempt to differentiate him from the pre-existing uncle, but the new name did not stick. Mickey's rival was once again called Mortimer in later comics – and in the animated series ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' and ''[[House of Mouse]]'', where he used the [[catchphrase]], "Ha-cha-cha!".

In ''House of Mouse'' and ''Mickey Mouse Works'', Mortimer as Mickey's rival is voiced by [[Maurice LaMarche]], doing an exaggerated impersonation of [[Jon Lovitz]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} As Minnie's boss in ''[[Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas]]'', he was voiced by [[Jeff Bennett (voice actor)|Jeff Bennett]]. Mortimer Mouse also appeared in a non-speaking cameo in the ''[[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]]'' episode ''Minnie's Birthday'', sitting beneath a tree, playing a guitar. He later appeared in the ''Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'' episode "Super Adventure" as a villain where he intends to shrink the clubhouse. Bennett reprised his role as Mortimer in the 2018 ''[[Mickey Mouse (TV series)|Mickey Mouse]]'' short "A Pete Scorned". He also appeared in ''[[Mickey and the Roadster Racers]]'' as Morty McCool.

===The Phantom Blot===
[[File:Phantom Blot Duckipedia.png|thumb|right|The Phantom Blot]]
'''The Phantom Blot''' is a mysterious enemy of Mickey Mouse who wears a body-length black sheet. Created in 1939 in Floyd Gottfredson's comic strip, the Phantom Blot became a very recurring character in European comics where he is one of Mickey's archenemies, second only to Pete. He was also reused, to a lesser extent, in American stories.

The Phantom Blot prefers being an ominous mastermind in the background, pulling strings and organising schemes, to engaging in physical criminal jobs.

The Phantom Blot is a master of disguise. He uses disguises to fool Mickey Mouse and the police, sometimes even appearing right in front of them without being noticed. When escaping the scene, the Phantom Blot often leaves a trademark "[[business card]]" - a sheet of white paper with a black splodge of ink on it.

When unmasked, the Phantom Blot is an anthropomorphic dog. He has a gaunt face with a long nose and a long, thin moustache. Phantom Blot's unmasked look was reportedly based on the features of [[Walt Disney]] himself.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kołsut |first=Rafał |date=2016-11-03 |title=Walt Disney – Geniusz Zbrodni |url=https://kzet.pl/2016/11/walt-disney-geniusz-zbrodni.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170428010608/https://kzet.pl/2016/11/walt-disney-geniusz-zbrodni.html |archive-date=2017-04-28 |access-date=2024-02-05 |website=Magazyn Miłośników Komiksu |language=pl}}</ref>

The Phantom Blot and [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]] are often bitter rivals, as both want to be recognised as the city's greatest criminal mastermind, and to get the most money out of the deal. However, some stories have shown them teaming up with each other.

The Phantom Blot made his animated debut in the ''[[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' episode "All Ducks on Deck" voiced by [[Frank Welker]]. He is shown to be an agent of F.O.W.L.

The Phantom Blot appears as an antagonist in the TV series ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'' and its spinoff ''[[House of Mouse]]'' voiced by [[John O'Hurley]].

An altered, monstrous version of the Phantom Blot, known as the "Shadow Blot", serves as the antagonist of the first ''[[Epic Mickey]]'' game. The Phantom Blot seemingly meets this creature in the city's museum when unlocking a dimensional portal, in the story ''The Blot and The Blob''.<ref>{{Inducks comic|D+2018-021|The Blot and The Blob}}</ref>

The Phantom Blot made a cameo appearance in the episode "Sock Burglar" from the TV series ''[[Mickey Mouse (TV series)|Mickey Mouse]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Minnie Mouse Short: Sock Burglar |url=https://www.awaltzthroughdisney.com/the-shorts-blog/minnie-mouse-short-sock-burglar |access-date=April 19, 2016 |publisher=awaltzthroughdisney.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220818213239/https://www.awaltzthroughdisney.com/the-shorts-blog/minnie-mouse-short-sock-burglar |archive-date=August 18, 2022 }}</ref>

The Phantom Blot is a recurring antagonist during the third season of the ''[[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' reboot, voiced by [[Giancarlo Esposito]]. While his history as a member of F.O.W.L. remains intact, this version came from a village that [[Magica De Spell]] attacked.

=== Willie the Giant ===
[[File:Willie Giant - Fun and Fancy Free.png|thumb|Willie in ''Fun and Fancy Free'' (1947)]]
'''Willie''' is a giant who appeared in the Disney cartoons ''[[Mickey and the Beanstalk]]'' (from the film ''[[Fun and Fancy Free]]'', voiced by [[Billy Gilbert]]) as the villain. He also appears in ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]'' (voiced by [[Will Ryan]]). He is incredibly powerful, demonstrating amazing magic powers such as flight, invisibility and [[shapeshifting]]. Despite this, he is portrayed as immature and dimwitted, given his fondness for toys and inability to pronounce certain words, such as "[[pistachio]]". His favorite dish is implied to be chocolate pot roast with pistachios, given his overweight appearance. In other words, he is much dumber than the original giant that he is based on from ''[[Jack and the Beanstalk]]''.

In ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', Willie serves as the primary villain. In ''Mickey's Christmas Carol'', he is portrayed in a much more positive light, playing the role of the [[Ghost of Christmas Present]] who helps show [[Ebenezer Scrooge]] ([[Scrooge McDuck]]) the error of his ways. He makes a brief cameo in the 1988 film ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' on a poster in a movie theater in Toontown. Willie has also made cameo appearances in ''[[House of Mouse]]'' and was a minor recurring character in the ''[[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]]'' children's series. From here, he is friends with Mickey. Willie still lives in the sky, only this time in a giant farmhouse.

In ''[[Mickey Mouse Funhouse]]'', Willie lives in the medieval location of Majestica where his farm is in the Cloud Kingdom. His Land of Myth and Legend counterpart is Woodsman Willie, a [[Lumberjack|woodsman]] who lives in the forests of the Land of Myth and Legend. Will Ryan recorded some dialogue before his death with the last episode he voiced Willie in was "Witchy Worries". Starting in the episode "Tooth or Consequences", Willie is now currently voiced by Brock Powell.

=== The Rhyming Man ===
'''The Rhyming Man''' is a [[villain]] who debuted in a [[Mickey Mouse (comic strip)|comic strip]] storyline, ''The Atombrella and the Rhyming Man'' (May–October, 1948), written by [[Bill Walsh (producer)|Bill Walsh]] with art by [[Floyd Gottfredson]].<ref>[https://www.cbr.com/a-classic-mickey-mouse-tale-comes-to-boom-in-april/ A Classic Mickey Mouse Tale Comes to BOOM! in April], Cbr.com, 19 February 2011</ref> His name derives from the fact that he always talks in [[rhyme]]s. A spy working for an unspecified foreign nation, the Rhyming Man tried to steal [[#Eega Beeva|Eega Beeva]]'s anti-atomic invention but was ultimately foiled by Mickey Mouse and Eega Beeva. An unusually dark and violent character by Disney comics standards, he was shown to actually murder one of his underlings. He was also depicted as possessing near-superhuman strength, the origin of which was never explained. Though never used again by American authors, the Rhyming Man was reused in Italian [[comic book]]s first in a 1994 story where he appeared to have reformed, then in 2008 as the central antagonist of the four-part science-fiction story ''Topolino e il mondo che verrà'' in which he returned to his villainous roots.<ref>[https://www.fumettologica.it/2018/09/topolino-mondo-che-verra-casty/ “Topolino e il mondo che verrà”, il kolossal di Casty], ''[[Fumettologica]]'', 18 September 2018</ref>

=== Weasels ===
The '''[[Weasel]]s''' are characters that originally appeared in the segment "The Wind in the Willows" of the film ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad]]'' (1949), where they act as antagonists of the story by deceiving the [[Mr. Toad|main character]] by selling him a stolen car. The first weasel is voiced by an uncredited Leslie Denison and the second weasel is voiced by an uncredited Edmond Stevens. After this appearance, they became recurring characters in Disney animated productions related to Mickey and his friends. Usually they are presented as thin brown Weasels who wear a sweater, pants and a cap.

A Weasel appears as a mugger in the [[Goofy]] short film ''[[How to Be a Detective]]'' (1952), voiced by [[Gerald Mohr]].

In ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]'' (1983), two Weasels appear as [[gravedigger]]s in the graveyard, burying [[Ebenezer Scrooge]] ([[Scrooge McDuck]]), and making fun of the fact that there weren't any mourners at his funeral, or for that matter any friends to bid him farewell. These weasels are voiced by [[Wayne Allwine]] and [[Will Ryan]].

In ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' (1988), five Weasels partially based on those of "The Wind in the Willows", with different appearances and personalities, form the so-called "[[Toon Patrol]]", acting as the secondary antagonists of the story under the service of [[Judge Doom]]. The weasels consist of '''Smart Ass''' (voiced by [[David Lander]]), '''Stupid''' (voiced by [[Fred Newman (actor)|Fred Newman]]), '''Wheezy''' (voiced by [[June Foray]]), '''Greasy''' (voiced by [[Charles Fleischer]]), and '''Psycho''' (also voice by Charles Fleischer). Each of them meets its demise at the end of the film, literally dying of laughter or being dissolved in Dip.

In ''[[The Prince and the Pauper (1990 film)|The Prince and the Pauper]]'' (1990), the Weasels appear as royal guards, acting as the secondary antagonists under the orders of the Captain of the Guard ([[Pete (Disney)|Pete]]). One weasel is voiced by [[Bill Farmer]] while other two weasels are voiced by [[Charlie Adler]].

In the TV series ''[[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'', two Weasels appear as henchmen of [[Flintheart Glomgold]] in the episode "Horse Scents". Two other Weasels from Australia appear in the episode "Back Out in the Outback" voiced by Will Ryan.

In the series ''[[Bonkers (American TV series)|Bonkers]]'', a Weasel makes a cameo appearance in the episode "The 29th Page" as a suspect in a [[police lineup]] while in the episode "Get Wacky", a Weasel named '''Wacky''' (voiced by [[Rip Taylor]]) has a more prominent role as the main antagonist of the episode, having an appearance that more closely resembles the Weasels from ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit''.

In the series ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'', a Weasel appears in the cartoon "[[Mickey's Mechanical House]]" as a realtor (voiced by [[Jeff Bennett]]) selling a modern mechanical house to Mickey. The Weasels make several appearances in the series ''[[House of Mouse]]''. Some Weasels have appeared in the series with different appearances and professions, like one appearing in the episode "The Three Caballeros" working as Donald's lawyer (voiced by [[Jim Cummings]]) or another appearing in the episode "Rent Day" working as a cheese shop salesman (voiced by Jeff Bennett) during a flashback where Mickey paid him the rent money needed to pay the landlord Pete for some cheese. In the episode "Pete's House of Villains" after Pete began to take over the club, Pete put the weasels (all voiced by Jim Cummings) to work as waiters replacing the Penguins, but they robbed customers while doing so. As Pete fires a weasel among the other villains who were doing illegal stuff, he tells Pete "You can't fire me, I have friends in high places". Pete then gets crushed by a safe dropped by some other weasels.

In the series ''[[The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse]]'', the Weasels appear in the episode "Cheese Wranglers" as bandits working for Pete. They are voiced by [[Chris Diamantopoulos]] and Bill Farmer.

The TV series ''[[Mickey Mouse Funhouse]]'' features the '''Weasel Trio''' that is led by '''Wheezelene''' (voiced by [[Jenifer Lewis]]) and consisting of '''Cheezel''' (voiced by [[Richard Kind]]) and '''Sneezel''' (voiced by [[Brock Powell]]). Cheezel is the shortest of the trio and Sneezel is the largest of the trio. They appear on each of the Adventure Worlds and often cause all sorts of mischief and wrongdoing which always ends with Mickey and his friends thwarting them and setting them straight.

Different Weasels appear as enemies in the video game ''[[Goofy's Hysterical History Tour]]''. In the video game ''[[Mickey Mania]]'', Weasels appear as enemies in the level based on "The Prince and the Pauper", with some throwing knives and others throwing arrows. A Weasel appears in the video game ''[[Disney Learning: Mickey Mouse|Mickey Mouse Kindergarten]]'', where after stealing [[#Chief O'Hara|Chief O'Hara]]'s cap, Mickey must find him hiding in an alley.

The Weasels act as the main antagonists in the video game ''[[Mickey's Speedway USA]]'', kidnapping [[Pluto (Disney)|Pluto]] to steal the diamond-encrusted collar he is wearing, so Mickey and his gang embark on an adventure around the world to find the Weasels and rescue Pluto, until in the game's epilogue the Weasels are arrested.

In the video game ''[[Mickey Saves the Day]]'', several Weasels appear as Pete's henchmen in his plan to become mayor of the town, working for him as policemen or security guards.

=== Scuttle ===
'''Scuttle''', called Weasel or Catfoot in some stories, is the weasel sidekick and right-hand man of Mickey Mouse's nemesis Pete. He looks up to Pete and thinks of him as the greatest criminal mastermind ever. However, Scuttle himself is not very bright and usually fails to understand Pete's plans and orders, to the latter's annoyance. Physically, Scuttle is much slimmer than the overweight Pete: he has a long face and is generally depicted with a bushy beard. Some series have shown Scuttle as being more educated than Pete in some areas. For example, one comic book story where the two were stealing art objects showed that Scuttle is an educated art critic, unlike Pete who only cares for the monetary value. Scuttle has often teamed up with another sidekick-type criminal named Dum-Dum. The two have sometimes worked together as henchmen for Pete, or on their own. Scuttle was created by artist [[Paul Murry]] and an unidentified writer in 1951. He first appeared in the comic book story ''Donald Duck Captures the Range Rustlers''.

=== Beagle Boys ===
{{Main|Beagle Boys}}
The '''Beagle Boys''' are a family of thieves, mainly associated with the [[Donald Duck universe]], although they have occasionally served as Mickey's enemies in some comics, and some animated productions such as the film ''[[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers]]'' (2004), or the episode "Touchdown and Out" (2017) of the television series ''[[Mickey Mouse (TV series)|Mickey Mouse]]'' and the episode "Keep on Rollin'" (2020) of its spin-off ''[[The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse]]'', or as Goofy's rivals in their animated debut in ''[[Sport Goofy in Soccermania]]'' (1987).

=== Trudy Van Tubb ===
'''Trudy Van Tubb''' is an obese [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] cat, the girlfriend of [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]], with whom she usually shares the profession of delinquent. She has a similar size and body shape to Pete, but her hair is depicted as grey or orange depending on the stories, while Pete's hair is black. Trudy is not very proficient as a criminal but she is a skilled cook and Pete enjoys her cooking.

Trudy is very devoted to Pete and often gets jealous of [[Minnie Mouse]] and other women Pete kidnaps for ransom. When the two get caught, Trudy often gets away with a more lenient sentence because of her lesser involvement.

Trudy was created by [[Romano Scarpa]] in 1960 for the story ''The Chirikawa Necklace''. She has since appeared exclusively, though very regularly, in Italian [[comic book]] stories.

===Emil Eagle===
{{See also|List of Donald Duck universe characters#Emil Eagle}}
'''Emil Eagle''' is a [[mad scientist]] and, as his name suggests, an anthropomorphic eagle, who first appeared in 1966 in the [[Donald Duck universe]] as a rival for [[Gyro Gearloose]]. He has since appeared alternatively in the Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse universes. In the latter universe, he is a recurring antagonist for Mickey Mouse and, in particular, for [[Goofy]] in his [[Super Goof]] incarnation, in which case Emil Eagle becomes a kind of [[Lex Luthor]].

===Dangerous Dan and Idgit the Midget===
'''"Dangerous" Dan McBoo''' and '''Idgit''' (sometimes spelled "Idjit") '''"the Midget"''' are a pair of criminals created by [[Paul Murry]] in the 1966 comics story ''Treasure of Oomba Loomba''. The large and overweight Dangerous Dan is the brawn of the duo while the balding and diminutive Idgit is its brain. They appeared as recurring antagonists of Mickey Mouse in various comic book stories.

=== Professor Nefarious ===
'''Professor Nefarious''' (a parody of [[professor Moriarty]]; not to be confused with [[Despicable Me#Characters|Doctor Nefario]] from [[Illumination (company)|Illumination]]'s ''[[Despicable Me]]'' franchise) is a villain who origins in the 1975 comic book ''The Case of the Pea Soup Burglaries''. He is the [[#The Sleuth|Sleuth]]'s arch-enemy. A London-based criminal mastermind, Nefarious sees himself as a "teacher of crime" for his three henchmen-pupils Fliplip, Sidney and Armadillo. Their hideout is a rundown townhouse with the words "University of Criminal Sciences" written on its front door. While Nefarious is reasonably smart (although his own megalomania sometimes hinders his plans), his three accomplices are thoroughly inept comical villains. Mickey and the Sleuth imprison the gang at the end of each story, although Nefarious himself generally manages to escape. Nefarious never realizes that the Sleuth is totally clueless and that the Sleuth's assistant Mickey Mouse is the one who actually foils him.

===Portis===
'''Portis''' (original Italian name ''Plottigat'') is an anthropomorphic cat, created by Romano Scarpa in the 1977 story ''Topolino e il Pippo-Lupo''. He is [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]]'s "[[mad scientist]]" cousin. Depicted as an arrogant and megalomaniacal criminal mastermind, Portis is often Pete and Trudy's accomplice but he occasionally works on his own or with other villains such as the [[Phantom Blot]]. The character has appeared exclusively in Italian comics stories.<ref>[https://www.topolino.it/character/plottigat/ Plottigat] at topolino.it</ref>

=== Charlie Doublejoke ===
'''Charlie Doublejoke''' (original Italian name ''Vito Doppioscherzo'') is a criminal genius with a penchant for elaborate jokes and pranks. An anthropomorphic dog, he was created in 2004 by Casty (plot) and Massimo de Vita (art) and has since been a recurring antagonist in Italian comics stories. Besides his signature laugh "Wah-wah-wah", a characteristic of his is the bowler hat that he does not only like to wear, but that also informs the shape of his transportation devices.

In a manner similar to the [[Joker (comics)|Joker]], Charlie Doublejoke often not only pulls pranks on Mickey and the police, but betrays his own partners in crime as well, escaping alone with the booty.

He is so manipulative and charismatic that he managed to fool the entirety of Mouseton into thinking he was a good guy more than once, with Mickey usually being the only one skeptical of him (according to his debut story "The Magnificent Doublejoke", they were schoolmates until Charlie's habits of bullying others had gone so far that he was expelled from school).
