Cal DeBar (also known as Officer DeBar) is the main antagonist of Summertime Graduations serving as the overall final antagonist of the June Arc, one of the two main antagonists (alongside Centrosomes) of the July Arc and will possibly return or have an impact on the plot in some capacity in both the August Arc, the 2023 Birthday Game and the opening moments of Summer Movie Mondays. He is a police officer investigating the murders caused by Centrosomes and mistakenly believed that Zachary is a racist bully who desecrated him and tried to beat up Calvin Ellis in his kid disguise. He later is tasked with investigating the Myles Bots when he thinks they are evil criminals.
History[]
He arrives when Calvin Ellis in a kid disguise is seen running and crying because Nick Persons tried to force him into giving him 500 dollars in cash to pay for his car. Centrosomes blames Zachary Delightful for the cause but Zachary escapes causing DeBar to initiate a manhunt for the skrull protagonist. The two later meet again and they fight over a gun. DeBar then disarms his suspect causing him to get a scar on his hand and initiate his status as an official character. DeBar manages to escape before he can get in trouble for the malice. When he is led to think the Myles Bots are criminals, he begins to hunt down the team as well. Later on, he tries to arrest Zachary (who is revealed to be Kiff Chatterley in human form) only to be led to believe that the squirrel is actually another “teenage fake friend”. DeBar is now fully convinced the akumatized skrull is the mastermind of the killing spree that has been going on for years and tries to either have him sent to the conformatorium or institutionalize him for the “illness” he had been infected with by the Myles Bots. However, the Bards Against the Throne rescue the young squirrel and recruit him to their group much to DeBar’s surprise and consternation. However, tooth fairy Duke is revealed to be The Vatican, Zachary’s assigned companion, and DeBar is gradually revealed to be a Monarch copycat.
Appearance[]
He resembles George Stacy from Spider Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Personality[]
As a member of the Linden City Police Department, DeBar is fiercely loyal to the law. Unwavering in his convictions, he worked hard to find answers. Yet at the same time, DeBar is malicious, dogmatic, hypocritical and bigoted. He arrogantly holds Zachary Delightful/Kiff Chatterley responsible for Centrosomes' murders, even though he is a firm believer in the equality of the world and his “racism” was really accidental and unknowing. DeBar did not hesitate to kill innocent civilians, including Pedro Ling’s owner and most of the Louds (except for Rita Loud, Leonard Loud and Lily Loud), to achieve his goals. He even hypocritically drugged the Penguins, despite it being a doctor’s job. During the reveal of Duke being both The Vatican and the Duo-Franchise incarnation of Goliath, he showed a somewhat understanding side; he first considered leaving Kiff intact so he can gather evidence. However, he was revealed to be manipulative, elitist, power-hungry and calculated. After his true colors are revealed, DeBar ordered his men to eliminate the young squirrel and everyone who aids him, and when Duke tried to explain that Zachary/Kiff was not responsible for the murder, DeBar admitted his awareness of the argument.
Trivia[]
- Despite his role being small, he serves as the main antagonist of Summertime Graduations due to his delusions causing most of the conflict during the arc. By the climax of the arc, it becomes clear that not only is he the Heavy of the arc but he has bigger plans than everyone else.
