Monkey Fist

Lord Montgomery Fiske (aka Lord Monkey Fist) is a fictional character and frequently recurring villain in the Disney animated series Kim Possible.
Lord Monty Fiske is a rich, eccentric English lord, famous archaeologist, and the world's foremost authority on monkeys. However, despite his intelligence and skills, he is also utterly psychotic, obsessed with monkeys and wanting to become more like them. To that end, he had radical genetic engineering performed on himself to give him monkey-like hands and feet, became a master of Monkey Kung Fu, and now seeks to obtain Mystical Monkey Power to make himself all-powerful.
His obsession with monkeys and monkey magic has left him fairly disdainful of humanity, as well as somewhat out-of-touch with modern technology. He is always accompanied by his personal cadre of trained Monkey Ninjas. Monkey Fist could be considered Ron's arch-nemesis (due to Ron's fear of Monkeys and on-and-off Tai Shing Pek Kwar (Monkey Kung Fu) skills) and the fact that it's him who ends up actually fighting him most of the time (sometimes with help from Rufus either directly or indirectly). According to Ron, Monkey Fist is the only villain to consistently remember Ron's name.
Lord Monkey Fist is voiced by Tom Kane.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Monkey Fist squandered his family fortune on an operation to give him ape-like prehensile hands and feet (a procedure carried out by notorious rogue geneticist DNAmy). As a result, his arms and legs are covered in fur. Additionally, his arms are significantly longer than those of a normal human, allowing him to knuckle-walk as well as giving him increased reach. Also, Monkey Fist's prehensile feet have all the dexterity of a pair of human hands, allowing him to perform feats such as holding 3 objects at once or grappling with all four limbs.
Monkey Fist is also a master of Tai Shing Pek Kwar or "Monkey Kung Fu", and obsessed with obtaining "Mystical Monkey Power" to make him even more simian-like (for whatever reason, Monkey Fist believes that becoming a magic monkey will help him conquer the world). His Kung Fu skills actually allow him to fight rather well against Kim, as he is only frequently defeated Ron and once by Kim(with Ron and Rufus direct help).
Monkey Fist also seems to be somewhat stronger than a normal human, being able to smash concrete or a school locker with his stray blows, or crush a spacesuit helmet between his hands.
[edit] Evil Plots
Monkey Fist plans to be the monkey king of the world.
- Monkey Ninjas in Space - In an attempt to become the ultimate monkey master, Monkey Fist forces an astronaut monkey, Fredrick, to join with him. After discovering that Fredrick betrays him, Monkey Fist attacks. In the end, Monkey Fist was captured and discovered that his own minions had abandoned him.
- Exchange - In an attempt to take over the world, Monkey Fist travels to Japan to steal the Lotus Blade, a sword that can shapeshift into anything.
- The Full Monkey - In an attempt to become the monkey king, Monkey Fist plans to use the monkey talisman, but Kim and Ron intervened. When Ron accidentally lands on Monkey Fist, the talisman flew onto Kim's neck, which transformed her into the "monkey king". At Middleton Motor Lodge, Monkey Fist captures Kim, and tries to remove the talisman. Kim manages to escape and in the end, Monkey Fist is captured by the police again.
