What is a villain in Cars?

The Cars universe doesn't have super-villains, but a great gallery of antagonists: an unscrupulous rival, a whole conspiracy of jealous jalopies, and high-tech rivals. Here's an overview of those who throw a wrench in Lightning McQueen's plans, film by film.

Cars 1: Chick Hicks, the unscrupulous rival

Chick Hicks, the green car #86, is ready to do anything to win the Piston Cup. He is the one who causes The King's terrible accident in the last race — an act that earns him boos from the crowd despite his stolen victory.

Cars 2: The Lemons, the great conspiracy

The bulk of the villainous cast comes from Cars 2, with the Lemons — failed and unloved models who want to get revenge on the automotive world:

• Sir Miles Axlerod — the true mastermind, disguised as an eco-philanthropist.
• Professor Zündapp — the German microcar who orchestrates the plot on the ground.
• Grem and Acer — the two clumsy henchmen chasing Mater.
• The Lemon families: Tubbs Pacer, Vladimir and Petrov Trunkov, J. Curby Gremlin and Victor Hugo.
• Tony Trihull — the battleship serving as a mobile base, and Ivan, the organization's tow truck.

Cars 3: Rivals of a new era

• Jackson Storm — the arrogant and ultra-fast next-gen high-tech rival, symbolizing the danger of obsolescence.
• Miss Fritter — the terrifying school bus reigning over the Thunder Hollow demolition derby.
