Progessorinas

Progessorinas, also known as *Progessorina*, is a fictional character from the *Adventure Time* animated television series, created by Pendleton Ward. The character first appeared in the episode "The Lich" (Season 2, Episode 11) and later became a recurring antagonist in the series' third season.

Progessorinas is a sentient, humanoid lich who serves as the primary antagonist in the third season of *Adventure Time*. Unlike traditional liches, Progessorinas is portrayed with a more comedic and exaggerated personality, often engaging in absurd and self-absorbed behavior. The character is voiced by Tom Kenny, who also voices other iconic *Adventure Time* characters such as Finn the Human and the Ice King.

The name "Progessorinas" is a play on words, blending "professor" and "vampire," reflecting his scholarly yet undead nature. He is depicted as a pale, gaunt figure with a long, flowing white robe, a top hat, and a cane. His design includes a skeletal appearance with glowing red eyes, emphasizing his supernatural origins.

Progessorinas is introduced as the leader of the Lich King’s army, though he later reveals himself to be a fraud, claiming to be the Lich King himself. His schemes often involve manipulating events in the Land of Ooo to further his own ambitions, such as controlling the weather or summoning undead minions. Despite his villainous role, Progessorinas frequently displays a sense of humor and a narcissistic attitude, making him one of the more memorable antagonists in the series.

The character’s backstory is explored in the episode "The Lich," where it is revealed that he was once a human named Professor Lich, who sought immortality through dark magic. His obsession led to his transformation into a lich, and he became obsessed with ruling the Land of Ooo. Progessorinas’ influence extends beyond the third season, with references and cameos appearing in later episodes, solidifying his place in the *Adventure Time* universe.

His portrayal blends horror elements with comedic timing, contributing to the show’s unique blend of fantasy, humor, and heart. Progessorinas remains a fan-favorite character, celebrated for his eccentric personality and memorable catchphrases, such as "I am the Lich King!" and "You shall not pass!"
