Stickybeard, formerly known as Stickyfuzz, is a candy-loving pirate who sails around the suburbs, where the members of Sector V live, in his ship: the Sweet Revenge. Along with his crew of Candy Pirates, Stickybeard hoards candy in the same manner that traditional pirates horde gold, and gets this candy primarily by stealing it from various children. The candy of Stickybeard and his crew is very prominent to the point that parts of the ship itself is made of candy, and they use weapons made of candy, such as candy cane swords and gumball cannons.

He was once a cabin boy of Licorice pirates when he was a boy, under the name Stickyfuzz.

Appearance[]

Stickybeard is a very large man with several of the trademarks of a traditional pirate. He has a hook hand and pegleg made out of peppermint and wears a large captain's hat with his ship's jolly roger on it. He earns his namesake from his bushy orange beard with an assortment of lollipops and other small pieces of candy stuck in it.

Personality[]

Stickybeard, like every adult villain, hates the KND. He favors Sector V as his target, especially Numbuh 5. He views the Kids Next Door as competition for candy as if it were scarce even though he already possesses a ship filled with mountains of candy. Stickybeard can also be kind to some kids he seems to trust.

He views Numbuh 5 as a rival, but respects her as "a fellow sweet tooth" and when they first met, he kidnapped her and tried to convince her to betray the KND and join his crew as his new first mate and eventual captain of his ship once his teeth have completely rotted.

He shares the hatred of vegetables as much as many kids do, to the point of saving even his enemies from one such as when he saved Sector V from a Great White Asparagus.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Stickybeard was born the grandson of captain Long John Silverfilling, a notorious candy pirate who sailed the Seven Suburbs. Stickybeard went on to follow in his grandfather's footsteps when he grew up.

Going by the name "Stickyfuzz" in his early teen years, Stickybeard immersed himself into the candy pirate lifestyle. He became cabin boy aboard the Root Canal, the pirate ship commandeered by captain Black John Licorice. He left Black John's crew while still young and before the discovery of the Red Stalk Isle. By the time he was an adult, he had acquired himself a ship and his own crew of Candy Pirates.

Stickybeard picked up a young boy by the name of Heinrich Von Marzipan and made him his cabin boy aboard his ship, the Sweet Revenge. A couple of months after Heinrich joined his crew, Stickybeard ran into a Great White Asparagus, a race of huge vegetable monsters that roam the Asparagus Sea. Stickybeard was barely able to escape from the creature, but lost his entire crew in the process, save for his new cabin boy, Heinrich. While sailing away from the giant vegetable, Stickybeard came upon Red Stalk Isle and boarded it with an excited Heinrich. The two had fun on the walk up the stairs, but fell quiet when they reach the top and saw the black licorice remains on the ground. Heinrich grabbed a red seed that he spotted lying around, and was moments later face to face with a reanimated Black John Licorice. Stickybeard grabbed Heinrich (who still held on to the seed), returned to the Sweet Revenge and sailed off, unaware that they were being followed by Black John and his crew aboard the Root Canal.

Heinrich left Stickybeard soon after and went on his own candy adventures, but before leaving he might have told Stickybeard about Numbuh 5's large candy stash.[1] Stickybeard found himself a new crew of candy pirates, and got himself two new cabin boys; Chewy and Gooey.

Battling the Kids Next Door[]

Stickybeard frequently targets the Kids Next Door due to their large stash of candy, and is most closely associated with Numbuh 5, also a lover of candy, who he respects as a rival; he even offered her the position of First Mate and heir aboard his ship in Operation: P.I.R.A.T.E., which she turned down.

He has aided members of the KND on multiple occasions, including saving them from the great white asparagus monster and taking care of Numbuh 5 and her teammates on the way back to shore in Operation: A.F.L.O.A.T. and teaming up with Numbuh 5 in Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E. to save Heinrich von Marzipan from evil cursed pirates made out of licorice, who Stickybeard worked for as a cabin boy on their ship in his youth. He was also on Numbuh 4's bowling team in Operation: M.I.S.S.I.O.N.. He especially eats candy in a rush, as seen in Operation: Q.U.I.E.T..

In Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E., Stickybeard is the boss of Operation S.H.I.P.S.H.A.P.E., fought by Numbuh 5. In Operation: A.W.A.R.D.S., Stickybeard was nominated for best villain at the Villains' Choice Awards, along with Gramma Stuffum, Mr. Boss, and Father. In Operation: G.I.R.L.F.R.I.E.N.D., he tried to steal the Sweater of Sweetness, but was foiled by Numbuh 1. He last appeared in Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S., where he stole Yipper Card #87 from the Nerd Zombies, which resulted in the Nerd Zombies chasing Stickybeard and his Candy Pirates away.

Stickybeard also served as an Assist Trophy in the game, Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion, as well as the boss of Flapjack's World.
