A former gangster, birth name Edgar McGurn. He first appeared in the short "Brunch With A Supervillain"(2001). In 1959, he unintentionally double-crossed his bosses, had a hefty price put on his head, and has not slept or otherwise napped since. Unbeknownst to McGurn, his would-be killers died ages ago. Now, the decades of sleeplessness and unceasing caffeine abuse have taken their toll, and McGurn is unpredictable, addled, and wrinkled like a Sharpei on meth. As The Insomniac, he spontanteously appears in public places, intentions always unclear, and brandishes objects that may or may not be weapons of a sort. Recently, a cult has somehow formed around him, and he has taken to wearing a flowing white robe. His acolytes forego sleep as a rule, which makes them not only as unpredictable as their master, but easy to shove to the ground.
They can't be listed individually here, obviously, so here's the jist, more or less:
Legends of the Wakamolian people say that a Greathorn named Zingo the Pointy promised deliverance to their "sacred paradise" of Vootliff, which is, in reality, their planet's moon. Some time ago, Zingo departed Wakamolia for Vootliff, along with a tiny crew consisting of Dord (the Dulled) and Klubbo (the Blunt).
Upon reaching the surface of Vootliff, Zingo was beset upon by the monsterous inhabitants of the moon, who asked him to leave. These beings explained that they were very tired of Wakamolians and their pilgrimages. Zingo repeated that he was Zingo the Pointy, and told them that Vootliff was his people's birthright. Despite continued urgings and suggestions, as well as the introduction of evidence that previous invaders had been violently massacred (i.e., The Vootliff Massacres, as mentioned by Bonk), Zingo flatly refused to leave. Thus, the native beings decided to make an example of Zingo, and the Ordeals began in earnest.
By the ancient texts accredited to Zingo's crewmen, it appears that the terrible space monsters that live on Vootliff (whatever they may be, Wakamolians are forbidden from depicting them by religious law) tried to make Zingo leave by doing mean and nasty things to him, and by the time these things numbered 10,000 he finally croaked. His crew, witness to the whole thing, promptly hauled ass back home, where they tattled to any who would listen. So was born one of the foundation mythos of the modern Wakamolian people.
Despite the 100% chance of being ritually slaughtered, many Wakamolians attempt the Vootliff pilgrimage every year.

One of the worst punishments a Wakamolian can receive from the Grandhorn is one or more lifetimes banished to the wild continent of Croutonia, mining (or "tossing", in the vernacular) salad, a leafy, slimy fungus that grows in the endless interconnecting pits underground. Salad is prized by Wakamolians for its restorative properties, though it does cause aberrant side effects when consumed in too great a quantity. Longtime salad miners can be identified by their bone-white fur, caused by prolonged exposure to raw salad (and lack of sunlight). By hilarious coincidence, these miners are pejoratively called "honkey salad-tossers".
The only worse sentence is turd mining. The less said about it the better.

SECURE is an American peacekeeping force so secretive that no one actually knows what the acronym means. Kap'n Kill-Krazy and Heartbreaker have worked as SECURE operatives since the 1970s, excepting the period that Kap'n was cryogenically frozen. SECURE believes in the preservation and protection of American freedom at all cost.
SECURE utilizes cloning technology to fill its ranks, as does its enemy T.O.A.D. (Terrorists Opposing American Domination). Kap'n has never been cloned, but it is rumored that Heartbreaker has. The front line infantry is largely cloned from Kid Kill-Krazy, although Kid himself is not a clone, as far as he can tell.

Ernesto is a department store mannequin that John's Arm talks to like a friend. He/it was first seen in the fourth John's Arm short, "Armed And Dangerous"(2003). John's Arm isn't any better at making friends than John is, so he acquired "Ernesto" somehow (originally to make John jealous), and he has been known to bake for, and discuss literature with, the mannequin. John's Arm occasionally speaks as Ernesto, which infuriates John. John once kicked a football into Ernesto's face, knocking his head out the window, but it has since returned. Now John's Arm keeps Ernesto more or less out of John's sight.
"Skullfuckers 5000". Literally, the worst movie you could ever possibly show to a minor.
Avunculus is an extremely powerful dark god that normally resides in extra-dimensional space. He is foul-tempered, vengeful, and vaguely resembles an uncle. Little about him is known to mortals, but he does occasionally visit our world, usually for nefarious purposes. Also strippers fascinate him.
