- Hacker is the main villain in the series, who his voice was done by Christopher Lloyd. In almost every episode, he is trying to conquer all or a part of Cyberspace, but is thwarted each time by the Cybersquad. He resembles Elvis Presley, a fact he appears to be aware of, but is green-faced and wears a black wig and has a pointy chin of which he is vain. He also wears a bicoloured cape. Occasionally, working too hard to take over Cyberspace can make his skin very pale or his chin saggy. He always prefers to be called "The Hacker" because mostly everyone calls him that and if someone calls him Hacker, he usually say in an angry voice in response, "That's THE Hacker to you!". He was created by Dr. Marbles to assist Motherboard, but he rebelled and was exiled to a cybersite called the Northern Frontier. Nevertheless, he does have potential to become good again, as shown in one of the episodes where he became a peaceful artist (temporarily). He has two cyborg lackeys, Buzz and Delete, whose reliability is quite variable; sometimes, he gets very peeved when he has to do things himself that Buzz and Delete can't. He travels in his large spaceship, the Grim Wreaker (parody of The Grim Reaper). Hacker has several rude, and many times alliterative, names for the Cybersquad (most common "Earth brats" and a couple times "goody-goody gang" and "terrestrial termites"), Digit (most commonly "Cyber-turkey"), and Buzz and Delete (including "(despicable) duncebuckets", "nickel-plated twits", "maladroit melonheads", and "(half-brained) bucket of bolts"). He is also known to have arachnophobia (fear of spiders), as shown in episode 108, when the Spider from Little Miss Muffet demanded him to give back their King, and some phasmophobia, (fear of ghosts) after encountering Ivanka The Invincible in episode 205. Hacker's main weakness is his limited amount of energy; when the pens in his pocket protector glow and he starts to cough, he has to be taken back to his ship, the Grim Wreaker to recharge.

Famous quotes containing the word hacker:
“The Hacker Ethic: Access to computers—and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works—should be unlimited and total.
Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
All information should be free.
Mistrust authority—promote decentralization.
Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
You can create art and beauty on a computer.
Computers can change your life for the better.”
—Steven Levy, U.S. writer. Hackers, ch. 2, “The Hacker Ethic,” pp. 27-33, Anchor Press, Doubleday (1984)
