Sultry Russian Natalia Kassle was chosen to join the Danger Girl team for her phenomenal combat and espionage talent, among more obvious outstanding attributes. As a former intelligence officer of the Russian army, Natalia often supplied the Danger Girls with crucial hindsight to the Hammer Empire's plethora of aging war criminals and international gangsters. Unfortunately, Natalia was also a double agent. Secretly working for the Hammer, she infiltrated the Danger Girl ranks and nearly lead them to their deaths. Natalia has presumed to be dead twice, but she keeps resurfacing. Her latest encounter with her archenemies Abbey Chase left her trapped in a crumbling temple that was wired to explode.
NAME: Major MaximMajor Maxim is the monstrous mastermind behind the Hammer Empire's apocalyptic military forces. Once but a trifling soldier of that very army, Maxim became an unwilling victim of Doctor Kharnov Von Kripplor's bizarre Hammer Ubermensch (Super Soldier) program. The first and only "success" of the strange procedure, Maxim soon became dependent on the mysterious blue liquid which supplies and sustains his incredible size and strength. Major Maxim, feared the world over as the Hammer Empire's dynamic, virtually unstoppable killing machine, has only one known weakness: the life enhancing Serum X which races through his fevered veins. Maxim has been defeated twice by the Danger Girls. He was also buried alive at the end of the team�s last mission.
NAME: Assassin X
Assassin X used to belong to the same Ninja Clan as Special Agent Zero and the two used to be close friends. Somewhere along the line, he and Zero joined the Hammer. X killed their sensei and Zero has been his mortal enemy ever since. X�s exact rank and place in the Hammer, like most of his past, remains a mystery. He is totally blind and it is unknown how he is able to function in combat with no apparent handicap. X was defeated by Zero during the Danger Girls� assault on Hammer headquarters. He later resurfaced when he captured JC in the British Museum while she was assisting Sydney in retrieving the final engine piece.
Donovan is a hapless smuggler and arms dealer who figures himself to be a ladies man, which allows Abbey to constantly get the better of him. Donovan also reappeared in the Playstation game, where he tried to sell the engine key to the Hammer, but Abbey foiled his plans once again.
The Peach is another arms dealer who regularly does business with the Hammer. Abbey seduced him and then cold-cocked him with a Champaign bottle to prevent the Hammer from getting the Shield of Immunity. The Peach also appeared in the Danger Girl Special in the Mod Bods spoof.
NAME: Doctor Kharnov Von Kripplor
Following in the footsteps of the Third Reich�s Dr. Mengelev, Dr. Kripplor has conducted dozens of grotesque experiments for the Hammer. His Ubermensch program has killed dozens of test subjects while only one success has come out of it; Major Maxium. The good doctor is also very accomplished at torture.
NAME: Kid Dynamo and Mr. Giggles
Two more thugs under the Hammer�s command. They were defeated by the Danger Girls and Johnny Barracuda. It is unknown if they also perished in the explosion in the ruins of Atlantis that killed most of the Hammer hierarchy.
NAME: The Shogunner
Akuhito was a fearsome general of the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. His division was responsible for numerous atrocities and war crimes during the failed Japanese attempt to retake Guadalcanal from the United States Marines in 1942. Akuhito also spearheaded the gathering of the greatest physicists from the Axis powers to exploit a new method of unleashing the power of the atom. The new bomb design that these scientists proposed used Germanium-68 isotopes to create an unstable balance of matter and anti-matter. This weapon, code-named Kamikaze!, would have made the atomic bomb look like a firecracker. Fortunately Akuhito�s plan to use Kamikaze to wipe out the remainder of the US Pacific fleet at Midway failed. In 1945, he was reportedly executed by the Japanesse Kempei Tai after plotting to overthrow Emperor Hirohito, who Akuito felt had betrayed the Empire to the Allies. Akuhito's brain was somehow kept alive all these years and implanted into the Shogunner, the monstrous figurehead of the Kama. He was finally killed when Sydney�s pet crocodile, Puk Puk, ate his brain. Yummy.
NAME: Empress Doken
The Empress descends from a long line of wealthy Japanese nobles. Still bitter over the Axis defeat in World War II, she is the true brains behind the Kama and seeks to establish a new world order in Asia with her as its ruler. The Danger Girls were able to foil her plans and the Empress was last seen sinking on the platform that had contained the Kamkazie! weapon. It is unknown if she survived.
After failing in several previous enterprises due to his sheer business incompetence, Don Ka Nui sought to create the world�s greatest theme park, The Happy Kingdom of Magic Palaces. To ensure his success, Ka Nui planed to destroy his competition by commandeering a fleet of the US Navy's new submarine prototypes and using them to attack theme parks in California and Florida. He genetically engineered a flower that had natural hypnotic properties that had been extinct for 600 years to take control of the subs� crews as well as Johnny Barracuda and Sydney. Abbey and Valerie were able to foil Ka Nui�s plans, capture him and his goons, and redirect the subs� missiles to blow up his own theme park.
The beautiful Lae �Ula was a loyal lieutenant to Don Ka Nui and the commander of his henchmen. She was also able to seduce Johnny Barracuda and use him in Ka Nui�s plans. However, the Danger Girls were able to rescue Sydney and Johhny and win the day. Lae �Ula was captured along with her boss.
Xyra was the daughter of a Pharaoh during one of the last dynasties before Egypt was conquered by the Greeks and Macedonians. Her terrible lust for power lead her to kill her father, seize the throne, and use the slain Pharaoh�s blood and her dark magic to create The Jewel of Eternity. This mystic artifact increased her power and allowed her to steal the youth and beauty of her followers, giving her an ungodly long life. The jewel was lost in the impending Hellenic invasion and finally came into the possession of Prince Akoo, a wealthy Egyptian nobleman, when the Danger Girls recovered it for him almost 2,500 years later. Xyra tracked Akoo and the artifact down to his Las Vegas casino and was able to trick the Danger Girls into helping her get the jewel back. She then summoned an army of the undead to fight the team. After a pitched battle and with the help of Akoo the girls were able to destroy Xyra and the cursed jewel once and for all.
