The Dirty Bubble is the #1 arch enemy of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
Description
His form is that of a giant, transparent, brown, dirty, bubble, hence his name. He has black eyebrows and has a black eye color. He can capture an object by landing over it and sucking it in.
History
In the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II," he suddenly appears and attacks Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, trapping them inside him. When SpongeBob emerges from the diner, having found the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy theme song on the jukebox, he defeats the Dirty Bubble by popping him with a pencil which he claims was for the Dirty Bubble to sign his autograph with. Dirty Bubble returns (it is unknown how), alongside Man Ray, alive and well, in the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V. Man Ray has teamed up with him to form an organization called E.V.I.L. (Every Villain Is Lemons). When Barnacle Boy tires of Mermaid Man treating him like a little kid, he joins the two, and commits crimes. In the end, Barnacle Boy returns to the good side, leaving Man Ray and Dirty Bubble disappointed. He is a champion at paddleball, as seen in "Have You Seen This Snail?." He also appears as the main antagonist of the episode, "Patrick-Man" where he was disguised as Mable and even captures SpongeBob. He was defeated by Patrick. His name might be derived from an episode in an old TV show called "The Wild Wild West" with an episode being named "Night of the Deadly Bubble."
