Maxime Le Mal

The flamboyant villain-school flunkie who turned himself into a human cockroach out of pure spite.

Maxime Le Mal is the theatrical, vain menace at the center of Despicable Me 4 — a former classmate of Gru from Lycée Pas Bon who never let go of an old grudge. Obsessed with cockroaches, he builds a machine to fuse himself into a monstrous human-roach hybrid, all while chewing every bit of scenery alongside his equally showy partner Valentina. In Miniondle he's a modern-era guess: because he only just debuted, the newest-film clue is a huge tell, and once you know you're after a flashy human Villain, the field shrinks fast.
