Mario Marconi

Mario Marconi first appeared in Episode 25, though we heard of him through Dr. Rick Edison for several months before. Rick was terrified of Marconi and considered him a threat. Marconi first appears as an Igor that was willing to work for Dr. Bob Tesla for free but, throughout the episode, items kept disappearing, secretly being stolen by Marconi.

When Rick comes in to kill Igor, Marconi shows his true self to a now terrified Edison. Marconi confesses that he had been trying to break into Dr. Bob Tesla’s terminal to steal all the inventions he has but had not been able to decipher the password. He pulls out the Di-clotron, which he had stolen the plans of from Rick. This causes Rick and Dr. Bob to come to a temporary truce to deal with Mario. Dr. Bob, after finding out they were Rick’s plans for the Di-clotron, refused to help Marconi, telling him to do his worse. When he attempted to shoot Rick and Dr. Bob, the Di-clotron fell apart in his hands and he ran away.

In Episode 28 Mario stole Nikola Tesla he was hoping they could team up and create new inventions, but upon discovering he could not understand Nikola he returned him to Dr. Bob. As he leaves he kidnaps Kitty She-gor.
