Dr. Axelotte

From Multiversal Omnipedia

Dr. Axelotte was a reptilian inventor (possibly a chameleon or other kind of lizard) who sought to obtain a job at Khan Industries. However, after his invention, a cleaning robot called MEL, went berserk and practically destroyed Shere Khan's office, Khan had him thrown out. Axelotte went insane, reprogramming MEL to kidnap Khan. His first attempt failed thanks to the intervention of Baloo, in disguise as superhero Bullethead.

Axelotte then programmed MEL to also kidnap Bullethead, and although MEL eventually succeeded in capturing Khan (who was "not amused") and took him back to Axelotte's laboratory in an abandoned laundromat, the robot accidentally snatched Kit's friend Ernie, who was dressed as his hero Bullethead. Axelotte ransomed Khan and Ernie to the police, refusing to let them go until he could appear on a talk show to demonstrate what "his genius" had created in MEL Baloo however tricked Axelotte into letting him chauffeur the inventor to the studio in the Sea Duck, so that Kit and the rest of the Jungle Aces could get into Axelotte's lab and free Khan and Ernie.

During the ride, Axelotte figured out who Baloo was and summoned MEL (who had been left to guard the hostages), but after Baloo outflew MEL and caused the robot to crash through Khan Tower, Axelotte tried to escape using the Bullethead jet pack invented by Professor Buzz, but konked his head on the doorframe of the cockpit, knocking himself out. Presumably, Axelotte was arrested following this.
