Vector states this was revenge for Gru freezing his head.Īfter a lengthy chase, Gru was defeated by Vector with the Shrink Ray, and was forced to return home with a miniature vehicle. As Gru and his Minions take their coveted prize, Vector cuts a hole in Gru's vehicle and uses countermeasures to neutralize Gru's rockets as well as dodging his bullets. Vector follows Gru to the facility with his airship. Perkins leaks to his son that Gru is planning to steal a shrink ray in East Asia. Vector's Piranhas continue to attack him and he is presumed to have thawed out afterwards. Perkins, who denied Gru's loan attempt, he angrily leaves and, having learned the culprit of the Pyramid Heist, attacks Vector's head with the Freeze Ray, immobilizing him. Gru shows no interest and continues reading his paper. When Gru heads to the Bank of Evil to obtain a loan, Vector appears and introduces himself as well as his Piranha Gun, which malfunctions and its Selectable Light Attack Munitions targeted him instead. Upon viewing the revelation of the theft, Felonius Gru is enraged and plans on stealing the Moon to beat the unknown assailant. He replaced the structure with an inflated copy and the real counterpart was relocated behind his fortress, camouflaged by paint. One of his acts was the theft of the Pyramid of Giza in an unspecified period. Perkins, as the latter was shown carrying him on his shoulders as Victor flew a toy great white shark, indicating to the viewer that his adoration for aquatic animals probably began during his childhood.īy the time of the first film, Vector is already a known super villain with unknown felonies. Vector was born under the name of Victor and seemed to be particularly close to his father Mr. Though Vector may appear to be a spoiled and wrongful villain, it is probable that he is simply trying his hardest to impress his father by carrying on the family legacy of being villainous.Ī young Vector (or Victor) with his father Furthermore, Vector's father is shown to be cold towards him whenever he shows incompetence: he angrily points out that Gru has reclaimed the shrink ray and scolds Vector for not even knowing about this. Despite this, it is unclear whether or not Vector is willing to commit murder. The lack of attention by the parent could help support Vector's psychopathic tendencies. However, his father can be strict if not overly so when he thinks that giving in to all his child's desires more than makes up for his lack of support and true parental responsibilities. Like many rich families, his father doted on him and spoke highly of him to Gru and Vector was shown on good terms. His relationship with his father is that of a pampered child. Even after Gru gives him the moon, he refuses to release Agnes, Edith, and Margo, inciting an angry Gru to enter the fortress and attempt to attack him. Unlike Gru, Vector has no qualms about kidnapping children and taking them as hostages. It is even seen that he watches marine life documentaries on his television in his home. Vector also seems to have an affiliation for aquatic life (both marine and freshwater animals), as he keeps an adult great white shark in a large aquarium in his fortress and uses advanced, aquatic-themed weapons such as the squid launcher and the piranha gun. As such, he eagerly admits Agnes, Edith and Margo into his fortress when they arrived to sell them. Vector has a rather excessive fondness for cookies. Similar to Gru, Vector's armory consists of bizarre items beyond imagination, of which he often boasts about. Vector is highly intelligent, but also overly confident and exceedingly arrogant. He has a pudding-bowl haircut, brown eyes and a sharp nose. His apparel is often mistaken for pajamas by Agnes, much to Vector's annoyance. Vector is always shown wearing an orange and white tracksuit which can convert into a flight suit enabling the owner to fly and a fully-functional spacesuit.
