Dr. Alphonse Mephisto is a fictional character in the animated television series South Park and is voiced by Trey Parker. He is the town's mad scientist. He played a more significant role however in earlier episodes, in particular season one. He has a son called Terrance. He is rather obviously based upon Marlon Brando's role in The Island of Dr. Moreau.
Dr. Mephisto was much more known for his major roles in Seasons 1 and 2, and was considered a main character back then. Since then, he has phased out, and he is rarely seen (or not seen at all) in the recent seasons (7-10).

[edit] Creations
He is a stereotypical mad scientist who comes up with all sorts of wacky gizmos, and is also a member of NAMBLA-the North American Marlon Brando Lookalikes Association.
[edit] Kevin
Kevin is "that little monkey guy" who follows Mephisto around. He wears the same shirt and was an attempt to make a famous pop star that failed. He goes with Mephisto everywhere he goes and has no lines. In the episode, Starvin' Marvin, Chef pauses during a speech to look at Kevin, leading to exclaim, "What is that thing?!". A song by Primus on the Chef Aid album gives an account of Kevin's origin, which may or may not be canon.
[edit] Four assed Monkey
His main creations are four assed animals, in particular his evil looking four assed monkey. Mephisto believes it is for the good of the Earth.
[edit] Stan Clone
While looking for assistance on cross breeding a pig and elephant Mephisto took a swab of Stan's DNA when he was turned around. Mephisto then grew a giant clone which turned out deformed and rampaged throughout the town. It was finally stopped by Stan's brutal sister Shelley who smashed it into the wall.
[edit] Mutant Turkeys
While trying to prevent world hunger Mephisto grew clones of turkeys. The turkeys were rather pissed off and escaped then rampaging throughout the town killing humans. They were all shot though in the end. As well as appearing in the Thanksgiving special the turkeys were on the first level of the video game for the series in which Mephisto was an unlockable player on head to head mode.
