The Goopanoids are a group of recurring minor villains in the first season of Max Steel. Ever since Tytus Octavius Xander mutated into Toxzon, he gained the ability of creating living mutant creatures that serve as his henchmen. They debuted in C.Y.T.R.O. Attacks!.

History

Season 1

C.Y.T.R.O. Attacks!

A duo of Goopanoids invade N-Tek's mountain base. One of them is found by N-Tek's security system and is quickly neutralized. The other manages to escape, but is hit by the projectiles of a turret and loses bits of his body. It later finds C.Y.T.R.O.'s control panel and hides itself in N-Tek's bathroom stalls while it uses the robot to steal the Tox-Bomb. Berto manages to locate the Goopanoid thanks to the gooey bits that he lost earlier. Upon finding the creature, he snatches the control panel from its hands and Max tries to interrogate the Goopanoid, but it self destructs.

Later on, Toxzon creates a small army of Goopanoids to face Max Steel, Berto and C.Y.T.R.O.. They are ultimately neutralized by the heroes, however.

Supermania

Toxzon creates a small army of Acid Goopanoids to deal with Max Steel and C.Y.T.R.O.. They are easily neutralized by the robot and the hero's Turbo Sword. Their remains ultimately merge into one giant Acid Goopanoid, which is eventually defeated by C.Y.T.R.O. with some difficulty.

The Secret Admirer

Molly McGrath, while under Toxzon's control, creates a Toxic Bacteria Goopanoid to fight Max Steel. The creature initially has the upper arm in the battle, but is eventually defeated by the hero with a powerful blow from his Turbo Strength Mode.

Gone Fishin'

Toxzon sends out an army of Radioactive Goopanoids to fight Max Steel, who alternates between various Turbo Modes to fight them. Due to their corrosive nature, however, Max's armor begins to break down, causing him to get stuck on his Turbo Base Mode. C.Y.T.R.O., Kat and Jefferson later help Max to deal with them. Forge later intervenes and returns Fishy, who had been lost by Toxzon during one of his fights against N-Tek earlier, to Toxzon. He then absorbs the radioactive waste from the ocean and the Goopanoids.

Season 2

A Germ of an Idea

Using Ven-Ghan's alien technology, Max and Steel shrink in size and enter Toxzon's body. They are found by a swarm of Nano Goopanoids, who attempt to destroy them. He uses the Turbo Pulse to neutralize them and heads to Toxzon's brain. He is attacked by a giant Nano Goopanoid with Fishy's head, but he injects an anti-toxin serum on Tytus' brain, causing the creature te explode.

Animated Films

Maximum Morphos

Toxzon sends out an army of yellow-green Goopanoids to terrorize Copper Canyon's citizens, but they are destroyed by Morphos.

Team Turbo

After knocking down the Elementors, Toxzon steals the Connect-Tek and commands his Goopanoids to put it in a truck along with other N-Tek technology that he had stolen. Maxwell, by himself, goes after the Connect-Tek and faces several Goopanoids on the way.

During his fight against Max Steel, Toxzon shoots living Goopanoid projectiles at Max.

Abilities

• Superhuman Strength: The Goopanoids are stronger than an average individual and are exceptionally dangerous in groups. The toxic bacteria variation is notably stronger than other Goopanoids exemplars.
• Liquefaction: Goopanoids can liquefy themselves, allowing them to enter small places. They are also faster in this form.
• Intelligence: Goopanooids are moderately smart, being capable of handling tablets, using cannons, drive and even operate C.Y.T.R.O..
• Merging: Acid Goopanoids are capable of merging themselves into one giant creature.

Weaknesses

• Durability Limit: The Goopanoids lack decent durability. They can easily be blown up by a N-Tek turret, a shot of C.Y.T.R.O., Max Steel's blows and being sliced by the Connect-Tek Sword.

Goopanoids Variations

• Green Toxin Goopanoids: The first Goopanoid variation introduced in the series and the most common one. They are made out of a green-colored goo and were introduced in C.Y.T.R.O. Attacks!.
• Acid Goopanoids: The second Goopanoid variation introduced in Supermania. They are orange-colored and their remains can merge into one giant being.
• Toxic Bacteria Goopanoids: The third Goopanoid variation introduced in The Secret Admirer. They are purple-colored and are exceptionally stronger than others of their kind.
• Radioactive Goopanoids: The fourth Goopanoid variation introduced in Gone Fishin. They are made out of radioactive waste and are highly corrosive.
• Nano Goopanoids: The fifth Goopanoid variation introduced in A Germ of an Idea. They reside inside of Toxzon's body and are responsible for wiping out intruders.
• Yellow-Green Toxin Goopanoids: The sixth Goopanoid variation introduced in Maximum Morphos.
• Projectile Goopanoids: The seventh Goopanoid variation introduced in Team Turbo. They are slightly corrosive.

Etymology

The word goop refers to the gelatinous material that they are made out off, while noid is a designator of form or resemblance.

Appearance

Their appearance may vary according the toxin that Toxzon has absorbed. However, all of them feature a similar body type and build, having a muscular, thin and tall humanoid appearance. The consistence of their body is also similar from one to another, being gelatinous and sticky.
