Ding Dong Daddy is a villain and enemy of the Teen Titans.
Character history
Ding Dong Daddy is a beer-bellied automobile freak who speaks in 1950's-era lingo, using words like "swingers" and "squares" to refer to the Titans. His background history, including how he came to be an enemy of the Titans before his involvement with the Brotherhood of Evil, remains unknown.
Ding Dong Daddy first appears as one of the villains assembled by the Brotherhood to fight the Titans. He later appears in Revved Up, where he steals Robin's most prized possession and forces Robin and the other Titans to race him for it. Soon other villains catch wind and join in on the race, including Red X, Control Freak, Johnny Rancid, Fang, Kitten, Puppet King, Mumbo, Mad Mod, Gizmo, and Adonis. Red X helps Robin out by destroying the other racers' cars, and just before the finish line Ding Dong Daddy is kicked out of his car by Robin, losing the race and his consciousness.
Ding Dong Daddy subsequently participates in the final fight against the Titans in the Brotherhood's base, but is quickly defeated by Kole and Gnarrk, who smash his car as he drives at them. He is later seen frozen standing on his head, just the way he landed.
Powers and abilities
Ding Dong Daddy has no superhuman abilities. However, he is a master mechanic specializing in refitting cars. He also appears to have extensive knowledge in electronic security systems, since he was able to steal Robin's secret possession from Titans Tower, which does have one of the most sophisticated security systems in existence.
Daddy's main weapon in crime is a customized red hot-rod, which is fitted with the following weapons:
- front-mounted snapping jaws
- liquid nitrogen sprayers for icing up the roads
- a supply of shperical grenades
- a flight neutralizer ray
He also owns a rolling pit stop which is operated by a group of gremlins, who act as a mobile repair crew and take out competitors by trapping and dismembering their vehicles.
