Mok Swagger

Mokiiligan Swagger (known as Mok) is the primary antagonist of the animated movie, Rock & Rule. He was voiced by Don Francks, with his singing voice provided by musicians Lou Reed and Iggy Pop.

Bio[]

In Search of the One Voice[]

While he is in search of the "one voice" needed to summon Armageddon from another dimension, he hears Angel sing while her band, the Drats, performs in a club, and realizes that she is the voice he needs. Although initially unaware of Mok's true intentions, she refuses to abandon her band despite his prodding insistence. Unwilling to take no for an answer, Mok kidnaps her and flies away with her in his blimp to Nuke York (the post-apocalyptic version of New York City) to perform the concert that will summon Armageddon. Omar, Dizzy, and Stretch follow in a police car, stolen from Officer Quadhole, to rescue their friend.

Meanwhile, Angel attempts to escape, in the process learning part of Mok's plans. After she leaves, Mok's computer analysis seems to indicate that there is "no one" capable of stopping him. Mok soon recaptures Angel and uses an impersonator known as What's-Her-Face to fool Omar into thinking that she is spurning him willingly. To manipulate Angel, Mok then captures the band and tortures them inside of a massive Edison Ball in order to compel her to agree to his demands for their release, but not before causing them to be heavily doped up by the effects of the Edison Ball for several days to ensure that they will not interfere further.

True Nature[]

After Omar offends Mok by saying that he uses Mok's latest album as a room divider for his gerbil cage, Mok reveals his true nature. When Mok's first concert attempt at "Carnage Hall" proves a fiasco due to an insufficient electrical supply, he is advised to relocate the summoning to Ohmtown, where the power plant has access to sufficient energy.

Evil Behavior[]

During that second concert, there is a power surge that requires sudden draining into the town electrical grid, causing overloads which both darken the city and shock Omar and his friends out of their drug-induced stupor. Omar, still embittered by Mok's earlier deception, initially refuses to help Dizzy and Stretch try to stop the concert, but finally decides to trust Angel.

All three make their way to the event. However, they are unable to prevent the summoning of Armageddon, only freeing Angel from her restraints after it is too late. Armageddon starts consuming members of the audience and moves to attack Omar and Angel, who is saved thanks to the self-sacrificing heroism of one of Mok's minions, Zip.

Battle[]

Desperately, Angel tries singing to force Armageddon's dimensional retreat, but her voice alone has no effect. Omar begins to sing in harmony with Angel, driving Armageddon back through the portal. Mok realizes too late that his computer's reference to "no one" did not mean that an effective individual did not exist, but that more than one person was required to activate the counterspell.

Defeat[]

As he ineffectually scrambles to stop the duo's interference, Toad, the brother of the fallen Zip, turns on him and throws him down the portal, where he falls into Armageddon's dimension and is sealed in.

Trivia[]

  • Mok is described as "the power Sodom used on Lot" which, given that he is a demon, could make him the actual demon who destroyed Sodom.
  • Mok expected the Demon he summoned to give him ultimate power and wealth, yet, many fans noted the demon was ignoring Mok completely.
