He first made his debut at the end of the Season Eight episode "The Dream Warrior" and made a full appearance in "Space Escape". He looks exactly like Pops but with an entirely black appearance and is also evil, which turns out that he is Pops' illegitimate brother, as both siblings were born in their home planet Lolliland. For reasons this hasn't been revealed yet, other than having born with completely different gift, he wants his brother dead. Mordecai and Rigby gave him the nickname "Anti-Pops", after they first saw him. In the finale, he dies with Pops, and before he does, regrets all of the 1-star ratings he's posted on various online food and beverage services, signifying a change in his personality, he then hugged back his brother before he and Pops die.
