“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”
– Steve Jobs
Squidward Tentacles, the bitter Krusty Krab cashier and Patrick and Spongebob's neighbor.
Benson Dunwoody, The angry park boss and the Mordecai and Rigby's boss.
Before We Start...
Because both series have a lot of content, we don't limit them to just their shows.
Squidward
Talking about the "canon" of Spongebob is somewhat... complicated, but we will try to explain it in the most understandable way possible.
Tbh, we were originally going to use only the SpongeBob shows, movies and comics, however, we considered using the entire SpongeBob media since SpongeBob has no canon or continuity.
On his X account, Vincent Waller has stated that at Nickelodeon they don't do "canon", which explains why things like the Krusty Krab 2 never came back. Most people have never thought of anything as Canon, they never thought of SpongeBob as sequential and has no continuity, as they are more focused on the story being fun, and will change things established in the past to make the story entertaining.
Shows:
- Spongebob SquarePants
- Patrick Star Show
- Kamp Koral
Movies:
- The Spongebob Movie (2004)
- The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water
- The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run
- Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie
Comics:
- Regular monthly issues (1-85)
- Super-Giant Swimtacular (1-6)
- Freestyle Funnies (1-7)
- Trade Paperbacks
Regarding video games, we have decided to take them into account with these conditions:
- We can use feats from any game.
- Only powers and equipment from games where Squidward appears and he can use will be used.
- Crossover games where Squidward comes out will be allowed.
Benson
For Benson, we will use Regular Show, Regular Show: The Movie, Videogames and the Minisodes, avoiding non-canon things like the Halloween stories, since they are solely fictional stories. so, yeah, don't expect arguments like 5D Regular Show. And no, we won't be using Regular Show x Adventure Time either lol
As to Brilliant Century Duck Crisis Special, although it was presented as an in-verse commercial, in the episode "Can You Ear Me Now?", the geese mention destroying the moon, so these events are canon.
However, we will also be using the Regular Show comics since they are canon.
First, according to the Boom page, the ongoing adventures of Mordecai and Rigby return and take place in comic book form instead of series. This makes sense since it states the same thing about 25 Years Later, an adventure that takes place after the series in comic book form, now, 25 Years Later was stated as an addition to the canon, so we can take it as completely canonical, this is important because 25 Years Later takes place after the other comics and even mentions events from the comics.
Events from the series are taken in the comics, like Park Avenue mentioning that he was arrested because of Benson, or Skips saying he sent Klorgbane into space a long time ago.
So, knowing this...

Background
Squidward
Squidward J. Q. Tentacles was born to Jeff and Mrs. Tentacles. According to the SpongeBob SquarePants Annual 2014 book published by the Egmont Group, Squidward's birthday is on October 9.
His father raised him right and loved him very much, as Squidward mentions in "Krab Borg." During his childhood, he always had to sit near the garbage cans at lunch, as he wasn't known as a friend by many people. As a teenager, he was rivals with his band classmate Squilliam Fancyson.
As a child, he went to Kamp Koral. There, he met a sea sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants, a starfish named Patrick Star, and a squirrel wearing an aquatic suit named Sandy Cheeks. He also met the camp director, Eugene H. Krabs, and the scoutmaster, Mrs. Puff. A year later, he became the camp's troop leader, becoming a figure of authority towards his friends.
Later, Squidward was enrolled in the Bikini Bottom School. He did not go to college after graduating.
One day, he became part of the Krusty Krab along with Jim. On the day Jim quit, Squidward spoke with him and instantly lost his long blond hair, much to his dismay. Later, at an unknown point of his life, he would become the neighbor of his former camp mates SpongeBob and Patrick. Becoming neighbors with SpongeBob and Patrick became a source of stress for Squidward on many occasions, often being annoyed or inadvertently hurt by them. For example, in "Frankendoodle," SpongeBob innocently creates DoodleBob to play a prank on Squidward. This backfires when the drawing beats Squidward up instead.
At one point, Squidward tried to move out of his house out of intolerance for his neighbors, but the real estate agent refused to sell his home on account of SpongeBob and Patrick stealing his identity and deceiving her.
At one point, he moved out of Bikini Bottom and into Tentacle Acres, a town filled with his peers, other octopuses who share his tastes and outlook on life. Here, he was forced to face how boring and oppressive his desired lifestyle is, and he was able to ultimately break free of its bonds with a few inspired silliness.
In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V," it is implied that Squidward at one point had a significant other when he remembered the good times he had at Make-Out Reef.
In "Love That Squid," it is revealed that he has not dated for a long time before Squilvia came into his life.
At one point, he, along with SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Sandy went on land to retrieve the Krabby Patty secret formula from Burger Beard.
In "Lame and Fortune," he won the most miserable cashier in Bikini Bottom contest. Unfortunately, Mr. Krabs immediately snatched the cash prize.
On March 6, 2017, Squidward traveled 2,000 years into the future as a result of being thawed in the Krusty Krab freezer for 2,000 years.
Benson
It is made clear in the series that Benson grew up in a verbally abusive household. During a flashback in "Think Positive," his Family is seen arguing at the dinner table, and given Benson's demeanor, it is likely that this was an incredibly common occurrence. In that same flashback, Benson tries to speak up and ask his father to pass the salt, but apparently does not say it loud enough, leading to his father telling him that he will not get anything in life unless he yells for it. This is presumably the reason for Benson's short temper and constant yelling throughout the series. Another factor for his anger issues could be that his father never approved of Bensons hobbies growing up, as stated in "The Lunch Club" when he states that his father would tell him "you don't have any talent!" and "get a real job!" when he was a drummer.
After leaving his parents' house, Benson would go on to become a Stick Hockey Master under the name "Death Dragon," along with his apprentice, Dave. However, Benson immediately quit after Dave was decapitated by Chong. This would become a part of his past that he would refuse to confront until the events of "Stick Hockey," where he finally defeated Chong and avenged his former apprentice ten years later. After this, Benson became the drummer for the hit band Hair to the Throne, in which he famously performed "The Legendary Drum Solo" on a 150 piece drum kit on the band's first album. However, the band left Benson completely uncredited from the album as a whole, and eventually kicked him out after only 6 months, replacing him with the Drumatron VI.
It is shortly after his experience as a Pro Drummer that Benson becomes manager of the Park. During a flashback in the "Unfinished Business" segment of "Terror Tales of the Park IV," Mr. Maellard is shown introducing Benson to the office in Pops' House, mainly the computer. It is likely that this was his first day as the park manager. It is shortly after this that Benson makes an appearance on the game show "Say That Word," in which he makes it to the final round, where he claims that he will use the prize money to "quit [his] dumb job at the Park." However, Benson ultimately loses after mispronouncing "bandana" as "banana." Having just been nationally humiliated, all of Benson's hair immediately falls out, leaving him bald for the rest of his life until the finale. According to Benson, for years, he could never leave the house without someone handing him a banana.
Given the timeline of Benson's life until this point, it is likely that he had been the Park's manager for at least a few years before Mordecai and Rigby were hired. His first shown interaction with them was telling Rigby to not eat on the table, while helping Pops get rid of the chair that the two would go on to play rock, paper, scissors for, against Benson's behest, saying the game is "evil." The two would go on to tie one hundred times, leading to the Park's first major incident caused by the two of them, and Benson's eventual first time threatening to fire them if they did not complete their work, which he would go on to do numerous times throughout almost the entire series.
Mordecai and Rigby very quickly became Benson's least favorite employees. He repeatedly found himself shouting at the two of them for not working, not completing their work, or completing their work poorly. He got so used to this to the point that he became genuinely surprised whenever the two actually did their work properly. But despite all this, Benson deeply cares about Mordecai and Rigby and almost never goes through with his threats to fire them. He has risked his own life repeatedly to save theirs, and to help them out. Like in "Stick Hockey" when he saved Mordecai and Rigby from Chong. Or in "Eggscellent" when Benson helped Mordecai get the Eggscellent hat to save Rigby's life.
Later he with his employees accompanied Pops to battle against his evil brother Anti-Pops in Loliland (alongside the Stream and his minions). After Pops' sacrifice, he returns to Earth and he hugs Apple Sauce. After the return, The Park Gang put up a statue in the park of Pops to honor him. 25 years later he and Pam are managers of the Park and have new employees, then they make a statue of Mr. Maellard and take a photo for the end.
Experience & Skill
Squidward
In terms of general intelligence, Squidward is someone who can guess things easily and without prior information, for example, he knew what SpongeBob would ask him and devised all the possible answers and outcomes. He is an expert detective who can create complex traps and is described by SpongeBob as one of the smartest people he knows.
Moving on to his combat experience, he has proven that he knows combat, he trained karate with Sandy and became good enough to wear a black belt, plus he can fight on par with SpongeBob, who is a trained martial artist.
Benson
Benson is a retired table field hockey master, formerly known as "the dragon", he was the best player who retired after the death of his pupil, but returned 10 years later to save Mordecai and Rigby. On top of that, he is a retired musician and the only one who can play the 150-piece drum solo.
He is also an expert in wilderness survival as demonstrated more than once, he is an expert in combat and handling weapons such as explosive arrows and vehicles. In addition to being able to talk to animals and being able to survive in a completely blind forest.
With Death Kwon-Do, Benson gains more experience in combat and martial arts.
Equipment
Squidward
Clarinet
Squidward's clarinet, often called "Clarry" by Squidward, is a clarinet played by him as a hobby various times throughout the series, first appearing in the episode "Bubblestand."
It is a black clarinet with a standard row of silver keys and has a straight, wooden reed coming from the top of the instrument where the player is able to blow into it.
Clarinet music is capable of affecting people in different, not very positive ways. Listening to it can cause heart attacks and loss of skin, as well as generate extreme pain for whoever listens to it, and listening to it can cause you to explode (literally). Or just make you sad or make you sleep. Its sound is capable of melting buildings and entire clouds through corrosion, and somehow destroying buildings and glaciers in the real world. This is also capable of affecting ghosts.
Squidward can use it to create sound attacks that send people flying and can create tornadoes to ward off his enemies.
Speakers
Accompanied by his clarinet, Squidward has large speakers so that his music can be heard much louder.
Bicycle
Squidward's bicycle is a vehicle owned and ridden by Squidward. It first appears in the SpongeBob SquarePants pitch bible.
It is a red bicycle with tan-brown triangular wheels, a black seat, black handlebars, and a yellow light on the front.
Krabby Patty
The Krabby Patty is the Krusty Krab's signature and popular food item. It is a meatless hamburger of sorts made from seaweed-sea buns, undersea vegetables, condiments, and a patty; it can also be ordered with cheese. The ingredients of the patty itself are purposely kept secret throughout the entire series, but creator Stephen Hillenburg had stated that the patties are entirely vegetarian. It was created by Mr. Krabs and Plankton.
Abilities:
- Resurrection: Eating a Krabby Patty can bring you back to life.
- Social Influence and Empathic Manipulation: Eating a Krabby Patty will make you incredibly happy, to the point of obsession and addiction.
- Mind Control Denial: Eating a Krabby Patty can save people from Mind Control unless they can't digest the food.
Time Machine
The time machine initially appears to be a room with a grayish-chrome door on the right side of a Krusty Krab hallway. When entered, though, the room has blue-striped pinkish wallpaper, a lamp light, green ceiling, and interestingly, a lever with the words "Future" and "Past." When the lever is pulled in a direction, it sends the user to the future or past, respectively. When the person travels through time, green flashing lights appear the moment they disappear.
Kelp Grow
Kelp Grow is a brand of spray that appears in the episode "Giant Squidward."
It is used to revive withered kelp. If it is sprayed on anything else, it will make it bigger.
After SpongeBob and Patrick witness Squidward using this spray on his kelp garden, the pair is amused by its ability to increase the size of things, so they decide to test it out on numerous objects like an ice cream cone and Gary's shell. They then decide to use it on Squidward by spraying a majority of it on his body parts, which turns him into a giant who has to give in to the Bikini Bottomites' commands to prove that he is nice, much to Squidward's irritation.
Snail Plasma
Snail plasma is a slime produced by sea snails used to move about. Sometimes, it is required to inject some into a sick snail, but if injected into a being other than a snail, they will turn into a snail, albeit only temporarily. It appears in the episode "I Was a Teenage Gary" and the book Meow...Like a Snail?!
Incidental 116 tells SpongeBob to inject his pet snail Gary with snail plasma to cure him, and the injection must be carefully administered. However, Squidward accidentally injects SpongeBob with it, changing the latter's DNA and turning him into a snail.
Later, Squidward accidentally injects himself when SpongeBob is chasing him, which causes total chaos wrecking the house, turning him into a snail too while being injured.
It is unknown how SpongeBob and Squidward got back to normal afterward.
It is supposedly used as medicine to help cure snails, similar to booster shots.
If the plasma is used on a non-snail, this will gradually alter the victim's DNA and make them exibit snail behavior, such as eating snail food, meowing mid-sentence, and can only move slowly. The final stage will result in the subject's outer appearance changing to match that of a snail's, such as their eyes sticking out on stalks, unable to stand up, losing their arms and legs, and their backs hunching to form a snail shell. The victim will also lose their ability to talk, and can only communicate through meowing.
Bubbles
A bubble is a soap or air structure, usually round, that either comes from a bottle filled with bubble soap, movement of a character underwater, or as a transition sequence between scenes. They first appear in the episode "Help Wanted" as a bubble transition sequence, and as a soap-based substance in "Bubblestand."
Thief suit
On two occasions, Squidward wore a dark thief costume so he could camouflage himself in the dark and steal without being seen.
Shell-Cart
The Shell-Cart is a vehicle owned by Squidward that appears in the episode "The Paper" and the video game Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix.
Life Insurance
Life insurance can grant supernatural luck to those who have it, saving them from situations of extreme danger without receiving any damage.
Mr. Krabs then tells them that's not the way life insurance works and explains to them that it was really money the buyer gets when a person dies, and then asks who gets the money.
Despite this, Life Insurance can still grant real luck, because Squidward put himself in dangerous situations and was never hurt.
Explosive Pie
Kaboom.
House
"Oh, well. I needed to lose a little weight anyway."
122 Conch Street is the address of Squidward Tentacles' house. It is located in between SpongeBob's and Patrick's houses, and has been a recurring location since the pilot episode. The house is in a suburban area of Bikini Bottom, much like his neighbors.
Squidward's house's mouth is the door, but originally, its mouth was closed and a door rested underneath it. The house's exterior styling is reminiscent of a "Moai," giant statues found on Easter Island, Chile, also referred to as the Easter Island Heads. According to page 36 of the 2004 book SpongeBob Exposed! The Insider's Guide to SpongeBob SquarePants, Squidward's house was built out of volcanic rock.
The house has been shown to have a life of its own multiple times and can feel pain and discomfort.
It is also capable of turning into a robot with arms and legs that can destroy all of Bikini Bottom.
In the comics, Squidward can turn his house into a robot that he controls and is bigger than a mountain.
Patty Wagon
The Patty Wagon, also known as the Patty Mobile, was a vehicle that is shaped like a Krabby Patty and is shown to be built with layers of ingredients like a real Krabby Patty. It is said by SpongeBob that Mr. Krabs uses it for promotional reasons. It first appears in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
The Patty Wagon is made to look like a Krabby Patty with pickles for wheels and two lights on the front of the car. It also has a small, red flag that reads the Krusty Krab's initials.
In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, it's revealed that the Patty Wagon can be transformed into a submarine sandwich Krabby Patty with ketchup and mustard dispensers as exhaust pipes.

Perks are upgrades featured in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2's Campaign mode.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Items
Items are a mechanic in both Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl games. They are objects and tools from various Nickelodeon shows that can help you in combat in various ways.
- Anchor: A standard-sized anchor, ideal for a good ol’ Anchor Toss Competition. Watch your toes! Originates from SpongeBob SquarePants. It’s thrown upwards before crashing back down to the ground; dealing high damage and knockback to opponents in the way.
- Arnold’s Boombox: The best songs always end with a boom! Originates from Hey Arnold!. When picked up, it explodes after a short amount of time; dealing heavy damage and knockback to all fighters in its range (including whoever picked it up). It explodes regardless of thrown or not.
- Tommy’s Ball: It’s time to play with your new and “favoritest” ball. Great for bouncing around! Originates from Rugrats. Once thrown, it stops in place after moving a short distance; acting as a bumper that hits away all fighters who touch it. It also reflects projectiles and other thrown items.
- LOG FROM BLAMMO: It’s big! It’s heavy! It’s wood! Good for rolling, bad for opponents. Originates from The Ren & Stimpy Show. Can either be picked up or attacked. Once hit or thrown, the log rolls along the ground infinitely until it hits a wall or falls off the stage. It damages anyone in its path, including whoever threw or hit it. It can roll on its side or bounce on its ends, which only affects once aspect - if it’s rolling on its side, fighters can stand atop it like a platform.
- Guidance Chip: Guides the Irken Fleet to your location and they’ll obliterate your foes for you! Originates from Invader ZIM. When thrown, an Irken ship will pass over the top of the screen and rain down lasers around where the chip lands; damaging any opponents in the way.
- Krabby Patty: Food so tasty it can literally reinvigorate you! Originates from SpongeBob SquarePants. When picked up, the Krabby Patty heals a small amount of your health. It is the only item that cannot be thrown.
- Trash can: This rolling trash can has a tendency of spilling its putrid contents on the floor. Originates from Aaahh!!! Real Monsters. Functions almost identically like the LOG FROM BLAMMO, but it leaves behind piles of damaging goop similar to the one seen in Oblina’s mid special. Once it breaks, it leaves behind three piles of goop.
- Squidward’s Clarinet: The cacophony of this clarinet is safely contained inside floating air bubbles. Stay clear of them! Originates from SpongeBob SquarePants. When held, the clarinet rapidly shoots out projectiles that move across the screen while bobbing up and down. Each bubble deals damage to enemies upon contact. Throwing the clarinet has no effect.
- Sokka’s Boomerang: This trusty boomerang will always come back to you. Originates from the Avatar series. When thrown, the boomerang will home in towards whoever threw it; damaging any opponents in the way before it disappears.
- Reptar Toy Car: Just turn it on and watch it go! Batteries included. Originates from Rugrats. When thrown, the car will move back and forth on whatever platform it landed on; damaging anyone in the way (including whoever threw it). It can be reflected with strong attacks, but it does not protect you from taking damage from it.
- The Suck-o-Matic: Sucks everything around itself! Warning: may have a mind of its own. Originates from Rocko’s Modern Life. When thrown, it will suck in any fighters or items towards itself for a short time. It can be destroyed while it is active by attacking it. When it’s not active, hitting it will merely push it around.
- Sandy’s Rocket: Throw this item at your opponents to them off into space! Originates from SpongeBob SquarePants. When thrown, it will home in on the nearest opponent to deal a significant amount of damage and knockback. However, its homing capabilities are limited. If it’s thrown upwards when the nearest opponent is horizontal from you, for example, it won’t home in on the opponent.
- Fenton Thermos: The ghosts trapped inside are itching for a fight! Handle with care! Originates from Danny Phantom. When thrown, it will release 9 damaging ghosts from where it lands that float upwards.
- Lawn Gnome: This inconspicuous, sentient gnome will damage anyone between you and itself! Originates from Invader ZIM. When thrown, it will attach itself a set distance away from you with an electric stream, which repeatedly damages any opponents who cross it. You can get as a close as possible to the gnome, but it can never be too far away from you.
- Explosive Pie: A pie-shaped bomb, made by pirates. Better not step on it. Originates from SpongeBob SquarePants. It acts as a mine when thrown; exploding when a fighter steps on it (including whoever threw it) or if it’s hit by a projectile.
- Jellyfish Jelly: This jelly has a knack of luring lots of jellyfishes. Beware their tendrils! Originates from SpongeBob SquarePants. When thrown, a group of 5 jellyfish are summoned that form a line and float around where the jelly landed in either a circle pattern or an ♾️ pattern. Any opponents in their path are damaged.
- Time Medallion: Should he fall in battle, the Time Medallion will allow Clockwork to automatically rewind time so that he may be revived as many times as is necessary.
Other Objects
- Chainsaw: Omg is Denji from Chainsaw Man!?
- Magic Conch Shell: No.
- Viking Weapons: Weapons Squidward once used to take out a garden pest.
- Magneto Suit: Benson Bros....
- Hammer: Is real
- Flashlight: Just a flashlight, not what you expected.
- Funny glasses and mustache: tf this is not Squidward
Benson
Drum
Benson has had several drums throughout the series, however, we will talk about the most important one: his 150-piece battery. Benson can use it to play his legendary solo, which can laterally set his skeleton on fire. Cool as fuck.
Car
Benson's Car is a crimson red station wagon owned by Benson.
Benson's car appears to be based off of an early version of a Volvo 940 station wagon, due to the headlight design, hood lines, primary coloured wing mirrors and most notably the boxy-shaped overall design. However, the rear tailgate and rear lights, due to their shape and positioning, maybe based from a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. Different styling cues are yet to be established and matched to real life counterparts, especially the grille design which maybe based on a real car or entirely fictional.
Golf Cart
The Golf Cart (nicknamed Carty) is a Park vehicle that is seen in most episodes. Mordecai and Rigby are its most frequent users, but Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Pops, and Benson also drive it, although less often. Skips is rarely seen using it, since he owns a van, and Pops owns a car, but he uses the Golf Cart more than he uses his it. Another golf cart also came to life and was destroyed in Out of Commission.
Jet-Propelled Speed Car
ThrustSSC, Thrust SSC or Thrust SuperSonic Car is a British jet car developed by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher, Ron Ayers, and Jeremy Bliss. Thrust SSC holds the world land speed record, set on 15 October 1997, and driven by Andy Green, when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and it became the first land vehicle to officially break the sound barrier.
Both Thrust SSC and Thrust2 were displayed at the Coventry Transport Museum in Coventry, England. As part of the Museum's redevelopment project, both cars were relocated by specialist haulier from their position in the Museum's Spirit of Speed Gallery to the new Biffa Award Land Speed Record Gallery which opened in 2015.
The car is 16.50 m (54.1 ft) long and 3.7 m (12 ft) wide and has a curb weight of 10.6 tons. It had a reported thrust of 223 kN (approximately 50,000 pounds force) at some operating condition. Jet engines are not designed to operate at peak airspeed while still in ground effect; a proper estimate would need to take this into account.
Gold Watch
(sighs) It's beautiful.
Book Of The Park Records
The Book of Records is a book owned by Benson where the achievements of park employees are usually recorded. Mordecai and Rigby used it to write things they never did, but then came true the next day. everything written in the book will happen, whether late or at the moment, potentially altering what will happen in the chapter.
Fortune Cookies
With fortune cookies, he is able to change his luck, reaching levels where almost impossible things happen, like a slice of pizza falling into Rigby's hands along with a soda. Also his luck made it so that several cars did not hit Rigby even though he moved recklessly, even the cookies made Rigby win a game without him looking, and even without using his hands. When Rigby gave good luck to Benson, everything Bad thing happened to him disappeared.
Suit
An outfit which is simply called as Suit is a suit-like cybernetic talking exo-suit that Benson wears in "Benson's Suit".
He was created by his father, a tailor, to serve an evil boss like Rich Steve. His father refused to accept $10 since it was not enough, so Rich took the suit by force and killed his father along with Rich's guards. He later escaped from Rich after his father died, until Benson found him and wore it without knowing who the suit was. Thought to be an ordinary suit and quickly dirty the next day, the suit cleaned himself suddenly and recently appeared in front of Benson. He later revealed to Benson who he was and praised Benson as a worthy boss. He then claimed that he would help him to manage slackers like Mordecai and Rigby. When Rich Steve found him, the suit and Benson fought back and defeated Rich Steve. In the end, knowing so many evil bosses are after him, he tells Benson to "wash" him in the washing machine in Inferno Mode, but before he is "washed" for the greater good of peaceful kind, they admit that they will never forget their times together.
House Rules
House Rules is a book written by Benson to set rules and limit Mordecai and Rigby. in the episode, the book can be used to destroy those who break these rules in the world without rules.
Apple Sauce
Apple Sauce, when under the name Leroy, robbed banks with his partner Harry Roughauser. Leroy wanted to opt out of the bank robbing routine to live a normal life. Being Harry wanted otherwise, the two had an altercation, then parted ways.
Leroy joined the Oink Foundation, and then was later adopted by Benson whom (unknowing of his former title) changed his name to "Apple Sauce". While being delivered to Benson, Harry calls him and he alerts him that he's being held in jail, and that he needs his assistance.
When Apple Sauce arrives at the park, Benson introduces him to the park staff. Once he had done so, he hands Apple Sauce to Mordecai and Rigby, requesting the two employees to supervise the pig at his apartment, so he can attend his meeting with the City Park Council.
Before Mordecai and Rigby complete the drive to Benson's apartment, with Apple Sauce alongside them, they decide to have some fun first.
Benson has proven to have quite a bit of combat equipment that he used to infiltrate the dome base.

Abilities
Squidward
Sound Manipulation
Squidward's music isn't that bad... it's just capable of killing you.
Squidward's clarinet sound has a multitude of uses. Most of the things his sound does were explained in Equipment, however, Squidward can make people sick with his music even as a child.
Immortality and Regeneration
Like all SpongeBob characters, Squidward has demonstrated a numerous amount of Regenerations and Immortalities, we will mention all of his types using the VS Battle Wiki system for reference.
Regeneration
- Mid-High: Can regenerate from exploding.
- Low-Godly: Can regenerate after disappearing.
Immortality
- Type 2: Survives fatal blows and wounds.
- Type 3: Can regenerate after dying
- Type 4: Is capable of surviving as a ghost and taking over his own body again after he dies.
- Type 7: He can live even if he is a skeleton.
- Type 8: When Bikini Bottom was in danger, the comic book writer pirate decided to help the characters to protect them, something he did several times. This Immortality applies to all characters, since the protagonists are helped by the writings if they are in danger.
Transformation
Even though the magic page was needed in the movie, Squidward has shown that he can transform into Sour Note just by playing his clarinet.
Subjective Reality
Squidward is able to create things with his imagination, something he has done several times. He was able to create the Greek Legends by imagining them and can alter reality with his Imagination.
Other characters have been able to do this too, such as SpongeBob and Plankton.
Immersion
On several occasions, we have seen SpongeBob characters step out of the cartoon into the real world, and Squidward is no exception to this.
Both he and his friends have been able to get out of the comic on more than one occasion, and characters like SpongeBob and Patrick have been able to leave the pages.
Breaking the Fourth Wall
In addition to going to the real world and being protected by the author, Squidward is aware of things like the length of an episode or the Nickelodeon offices.
Time Travel
When Squidward asks SpongeTron and his clones for a way to return to his own time period, the robot leads Squidward to the time machine. When he enters, Squidward decides to flick the switch to the past, ending up in the Prehistoric Era.
Energy Projection
When angry, Squidward can shoot lasers from his eyes, hot enough to melt anything they touch.
Memory Erasure
Squidward is able to literally erase the memory of others with a pencil, just as he did to SpongeBob, erasing his brain and photos so he does not remember Squidward, he even forgot the things about Squidward.
Shapeshifting and Body Control
More than once we have seen how Squidward can change shape, turn his head into a spotlight, change his face to that of a horse or return to normal after being altered in Randomland.
Among other things, he can deform his face until his mouth comes out of it and he can change shape until he becomes SpongeBob.
Bubbles
Although he doesn't use them as well as SpongeBob or Patrick, Squidward can create bubbles large enough to enclose someone.
Quantum Manipulation
After the DNA of all of Bikini Bottom was fused together, Squidward separated them by altering their molecular structure and quantum negatons.
Other characters such as Plankton have been shown to be able to separate atoms with his hands, making this ability consistent.
Reality Warping
After losing his clarinet, Squidward changed the whole show to a more serious one, turning SpongeBob from a children's show to a show about detectives.
Deconstruction
He can also disintegrate large objects such as rock into pieces.
Invisibility

- Perception Manipulation: Rubbed off SpongeBob's perception.
- Empathic Manipulation and Mind Manipulation: He and SpongeBob resisted the effects of Plankton's Jerktonium.

Benson
Inorganic Physiology
Benson comes from a species of gum-machine people seen throughout the series. They have a bony system and other vertebrate characteristics, however, they do not bleed when harmed.
Their physiology is strange, as apparently their dispenser works as a producer's box, but as for their gum, it is not very well known how it works, but we can assume that they are a sensitive part as him show irritation when these are removed and must pick them up, and curiously, eating one of these gums allows Benson's mind to be controlled.
These can be dropped by accident or by triggering the mechanism, or slip out of his body if he receives damage, and can even be removed using his button.
Death Kwon-Do
Death Kwon Do is a martial arts style from an eighty paged notebook that the Sensai owns. It is normally learned through training, and the Sensai has dedicated a school to teaching it, so it's presumed that its techniques are usable without any help. However, one needs merely to possess a mullet, cut-up jean shorts, and a technique's page from the Death Kwon Do book in order to perform that specific technique to its full extent. Death Kwon Do is most likely based on Tae Kwon Do. The supposed teacher, Sensai, teaches the Death Kwon Do techniques from an 80 paged Wide-Ruled notebook. According to Sensai, Death Kwon Do is about fighting their inner darkness, such as for self-defenses, patiences and wisdoms, this was shown with Jerry, and formerly Rigby (prior his redemption) whom lacked these terms and had much more inner darkness within them.
Luck
All the park workers gather at a Chinese restaurant that Benson picked out of random in celebration of his good luck (a long winning-streak while gambling with Rigby the night before). Rigby, however, is less enthusiastic at his loss of stuff that caused Benson's good fortune. After a copious meal (one that Rigby hardly participated in because of a ridiculously long wait for a glass of water), fortune cookies are handed out. Rigby, getting a fortune showing even more bad luck, decides (despite Mordecai's protests) to swap his fortune with that of Benson's, which shows him getting good luck
Summon
Benson has shown to be able to summon his Equipment by raising his hands even if he does not have it.
This is an ability that the Baby Ducks taught Mordecai and Rigby in their first transformation, causing even destroyed Equipment like The Power to return to them.
Although we could say that this was the Baby Ducks' credit, they didn't really do anything since they were injured on the ground and only told Mordecai and Rigby how to do it, so Benson could summon his equipment without help.
Order Powers
Other Abilities
- Non-Physical Interaction: Can interact with Hi Five Ghost.
- Acrobatics: The suit can make Benson jump high enough to reach a helicopter.
- Hammerspace: Apparently, he can make pizza out of thin air.
Resistances
- Space (Cold, Radiations, etc): Survive being on the moon.
- Anti-Matter: Should scaled to Mordecai and Rigby, who survived an anti-matter bomb.
- Void Manipulation: He can be in a void.
- Black Holes: Resists being sucked into a black hole.
- Fragrance Manipulation: Resisted the stink of Rigby skunk.
- Fear Manipulation: Not affected by the nightmare alien.
Forms
Squidward
Sour Note
"Fear the power of my Clarinet!"
After SpongeBob gave powers to all his friends to turn them into superheroes, Squidward took the form of Sour Note, where he gained new abilities usable in battle.
- Creation: He can create his clarinet from his hands.
- Sound Manipulation: Can shoot sound at great distances to stun enemies.
- Transformation: He can transform just by playing his clarinet.
Magma Man
"Krakatoa!"
Mermaid Man orders a double scoop of prune ice cream with bran sprinkles from E.V.I.L., but the ice cream explodes and it's a bomb after he eats it, giving him a hole in his stomach, and they drive off. Mermaid Man then realizes that he cannot defeat this new threat on his own, so he recruits SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and Squidward to reform the "International Justice League of Super Acquaintances." SpongeBob becomes the "Quickster," and can run at amazing speed. Patrick becomes the "Elastic Waistband," and gains the power to stretch his body to incredible lengths. Sandy becomes "Miss Appear," and can become completely invisible. And Squidward becomes "Captain Magma" and gains the power to produce fire and lava.
The Squishy Knight
Squidward's true identity and not at all a reference to the best superhero ever. The Squishy Knight is a vigilante superhero who delivers pies to evildoers. When Squidward wears the suit, he presumably becomes stronger and more muscular, as well as using unique combat techniques.
Giant
After using Kelp Grow on himself, Squidward became giant, the only downside being that he couldn't use his clarinet... until SpongeBob and Patrick fixed that.
Handsome Squidward
Incredibly attractive. Stupid and sexy Squid.
Although it is quite a meme, Handsome Squidward should not be taken lightly, as it is a powerful special attack capable of sending those it attacks flying away.
Angry
Squidward is prone to get angry very, very easily, and like Benson, when angry he becomes much stronger, enough to move his house and the flowers in the sky, plus he obviously becomes red and much more aggressive than normal.
An extra factor is his healing, since when he gets angry, his wounds heal faster and Squidward stops feeling pain.
Benson
Death Kwon-Do
When transformed into Death Kwon-Do, Benson gains a host of new abilities. Although she needs the shorts and hairstyle, it has been shown that Mordecai and Rigby can use Death Kwon-Do as a transformation at any time, so Benson should be able to do it too.
- Bicep Flex of Death: The Bicep Flex of Death is the first technique shown in the book. It is never shown in action, but by the looks of it, the move just looks like its a flex.
- Leg Lifts of Death: The Leg Lifts of Death is the second technique shown in the book. Like the Bicep Flex of Death, it is never shown in action. It looks less like a fighting technique and more like an exercise. According to Sensai, it is "a good beginner's move and it is a lame move. This move would not protect you."
- Pelvic Thrust of Death: The Pelvic Thrust of Death is the third technique shown in the book. This attack is never shown in action. Sensai says that this is one of his favorites.
- The Death Punch of Death: The Death Punch of Death is the most deadly (and most redundantly named) among the techniques. It is not a beginner's move. It was first used by Rigby when he stole this page when the instructor turned his back. He eventually learned the move, and it was later used by Mordecai, Benson, Sensai, and the Grandmaster. The move is a punch done from a distance that emits a wave with unbelievable power, shown to be able to tear apart a stone fountain with ease. Its true destructive power can be exploited by making contact with the target, causing an energy pillar to explode at the point of impact, reaching high into the clouds. The only known way this move can be defended against is with the Death Block. The page after this technique is blank.
- The Death Kick of Death: Though it was not mentioned by the name, the Death Kick of Death is a known technique that mainly used kicks. It was first used by Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, and Sensai on their journey when they infiltrated the Death Kwon Do mountain to find Sandwich of Life to cure Benson. A rapid version of the Death Kick of Death is first used by the Death Kwon Do Grandmaster against Mordecai and Rigby.
- The Death Kwon Clog: After Rigby had stolen the Death Punch of Death page, a student came up behind Sensai and said: "Uh.. Sensai, I think someone just Death Kwon Clogged the toilet" (To which the instructor replies with an angry "Noooo"). The death technique has not been shown, though with what the student has said, it may serve the sole purpose of clogging toilets. "Death Kwon Clogging" may be the result of performing the Death Dump. More likely, it's merely a joke.
- The Death Block: The Death Block is a blocking move and the only known method of countering the Death Punch of Death. This move is first used by Mordecai, though it is later used by Rigby, Benson, and Sensai on their journey to find a Sandwich of Life cure for Benson. Considering its impressive defensive ability, it may serve as an all purpose block that can defend against many other otherwise lethal threats.
- The Death Jump: The Death Jump is a really high jump that is almost like flying. It was first used by Mordecai to save himself and Rigby from dying in the lava pit from their fight, and he later used it again along with Rigby for first time to save themselves, Benson, and Sensai from Death Kwon Do mountain's destruction.
- The Jumping Kick of Death: Thought it was not mentioned by the name, the Jumping Kick of Death is a combination between Death Jump and Death Kick of Death, first used by Mordecai and Rigby against the Death Kwon Do Axe wielding guards.
- The Death Dump: The Death Dump is never seen in action, since Rigby told Mordecai to use the Death Jump. It is implied that this attack uses the act of defecating.
- The Step of Death: The Step of Death is a move term for taking steps throughout the first floor of Death Kwon Do mountain. The practitioner is required to say "Step of Death" with every step they take because if they don't, they will plummet to their death.
- The Death Flight: Though it was not mentioned by the name, the Death Flight is first used by the Grandmaster, Mordecai, and Rigby during their final confrontation and battle.
- The Death Push: Though it was not mentioned by the name, the Death Push is first used by the Death Kwon Do Grandmaster while he tries to deliver a blow of Double Death Sandwich into Benson's mouth.
- The Bicycle Kick Of Death: The Bicycle Kick of Death is an attack used to deflect deadly projectiles, apparently with high accuracy. This was used by Mordecai and Rigby to deflect the Double Death Sandwich (Which nearly killed Benson) after the page was given to them by Sensai.
Videogame
After being thrown into a video game by Mordecai and Rigby, Benson became a conscious machine that controls a video game world, and can go out into the city and turn everything into a video game. He gains several new abilities in this form
- Lava: He can turn the whole world into a red, lava-filled place.
- BFR: He can bring others into his virtual world.
- Reality Warping: He can turn the real world into a video game that he controls, being able to force others to do things they don't want to do, like forcing Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost to clean Pops statue.
The Holy Order of Orderliness
Benson is not just a normal person, he is the current reincarnation of the Holy Order of Orderliness, a God who is dedicated to bringing the concept of order to reality. After Benson quit his job at the park, the Oracle of Order took control of the universe and established her own rules for the world.
Once Benson wanted his job back, he faced the Oracle of Chaos in a duel where he obtained his status, Holy Order of Orderliness, with which he began to bring Order to the park, destroying the concept of Chaos and making order rule the universe again.
It is not clear how Benson obtains this form, however, we can assume that it will be activated at a time when he needs it, such as a fight. If Squidward causes great chaos during a fight and Benson suffers from an emotional burden, it is possible that he could gain these powers, though it is only speculation.
Angry
"YOU LAZY NO-GOOD SLACKERS DRIVE ME NUTS! CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME ONCE IN YOUR WORTHLESS LIVES?! 'CAUSE IF YOU DID, YOU'D SEE I'M TRYING TO TEACH YOU SOME SIMPLE RESPONSIBILITY, SOME PRIDE IN DOING A JOB WELL DONE!! BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW A JOB WELL DONE IF YOU PAID SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU, AND EVEN THEN YOU'D SCREW IT ALL UP ON THE ACCOUNT THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN FOLLOW THE SIMPLEST OF THE INSTRUCTIONS, WORRYING MORE ABOUT LOOKING COOL THAN DOING YOUR JOB!!!"
When Benson does not release his anger for too long, it literally explodes, potentially generating a massive explosion that can deafen the recipient (if he survives), and leaving a huge crater. The problem is that Benson must spend a whole day holding in anger to overload himself enough to reach this level of anger.
Ghost
Although we have not seen Benson as a ghost, we know that all of Regular Show become ghosts after death, an example is the ghosts of the party room, or muscle dad, who appeared as a ghost the same day he died. Although it is not known how long it takes for ghosts to appear, we do know that it happens the same day of his death, so Benson could return to the fight once dead.

- After Rigby and Ghosthand saw a banned movie, the dinosaurs in it became real, from which they all ran away, which move and live in time and space. (Immeasurable) (Debatable)
The Park and Friends
Muscle Man
- Upon reuniting with Starla after a day apart, the two collided, generating a massive explosion. (1.9 Tons of TNT) (Building Level+)
- Survived a Mortal Death Kwon-Do blow. (Multi-City Block Level)
- He can fight his younger version and Hi Five Ghost.
- Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost young men were able to resist the explosion that created the crash pit. (9.96 Megatons) (City Level)
- He survived a hit from The Hammer.
- The Hammer is capable of absorbing the electrical energy of the city, this is supported by the fact that when him is defeated all the electrical energy returns to the city. (102.35 Megatons) (Mountain Level)
- Comparable to The Hammer, who hit the God of Basketball without him reacting.
- The God of Basketball flew to Mars. (75 c) (FTL+)
Cj
- May turn into a massive thunderstorm. (871.49 Kilotons of TNT) (Large Town Level)
- He survived a direct attack from the Destroyer of Worlds, which can leave huge game craters. (35 Kilotons of TNT) (Town Level)
- He has a galaxy in his stomach.
- He is superior to Ted, who withstood an attack from the Lord of Destruction, and Skips withstood the explosion that killed him.
- Lord Destruction was mentioned as a threat to this dimension and the universe.
- He was destroying the space-time continuum and killing him returned time to normal.
- Together with Gary, Death, and the Guardians of Eternal Youth, they face an Astronomical event every year, this is to fight against the Monster of Infinity and banish him to his dimension.
- The purpose of the Monster of Infinity is to make Darkness defeat Light when they are in perfect Balance and thus govern all reality.
- His fury would destroy our reality with the force of a thousand dead suns. (Multi-Solar System to Universe Level+)
- Not restricted to the limitations of space and time. (Immeasurable)
- His astral form was able to travel through dimensions just by flying. (Likely Immeasurable)
Pops (Base)
- Pushed Anti-Pops. (Large Star Level)
- He ran to Jupiter. (314 c) (MFTL)
- Overwhelmed Anti-Pops to save Mordecai and Rigby before he could hit them.
- Intercepted Anti-Pops before he reacted.
Timenado
Don't misunderstand us. We are not implying that Benson is comparable to the Timenado's power to consume timelines, rather, everyone in the park can react and keep up with the Timenado and Rigby can dodge it, so he should scale at its speed.
Mega Kranus and Malum Kranus
- They can fly through various planets and stars.
- They were able to generate an explosion capable of covering the entire Universe in seconds with their fists. (746.8 Quadrillion c - 20 Quintillion c) (MFTL+) (See Before the Verdict)
- This explosion could potentially affect different spaces and times, since the reset affects the other universes seen in the show. (Immeasurable)
- They should be faster than any God, including Father Time, who embodies the concept of time. (Immeasurable) (Debatable)
Weaknesses
Squidward
Squidward's personality is his greatest weakness. He is a lazy, selfish and confident person who underestimates his enemies even if they are stronger and bigger than him, he is not very experienced in fighting and will probably try to drive his enemies away before fighting. He is also claustrophobic and the boats make him seasick.
If he is hit too hard in the face, he will stop being Handsome Squidward and return to normal.
Benson
Benson is someone who gets carried away too much by his emotions, he yells and gets angry easily, this can lead him to hurt his friends or even destroy his home by not controlling his anger, but he is also someone fragile who has spent time in the dump to forget old loves, and has an addiction to wings, a metaphor for being an alcoholic.
Another weakness is his own body, as his gum balls can leave his body if he gets hit or falls, and eating one of these allows him to have control over Benson's mind.
Before The Verdict
Spongebob Cosmology
(French narrator voice)
Ah, SpongeBob's Cosmology, a wonderful infinite place that we must explain in this section to better clarify Squidward's level. Join me on this cosmic journey between universes
The Universe
The universe in SpongeBob is not something simple, it is more complex and extensive than it seems at first glance.
It contains multiple pocket dimensions, however, we must talk about the timelines of the universe, yes, you heard right, the universe.
The universe of the Patrick star show is an alternate Universe that contains multiple alternate timelines.
Each epoch in the time of the universe is a different timeline, as Sandy in speaking to her past self, was speaking to a version of an alternate timeline, forming an infinite amount of infinite timelines and universese, and at the same time she was talking to another Universe in his universe.
When Squidward broke the time machine, he made space-time contain an uncountable number of multiple timelines that became part of the universe. Later, the narrator states that the Patrick show is the perfect example of what happens when multiple universes and timelines come together in the same universe, which reaffirms that they are part of the same universe.
With all of this, we can firmly say that a universe in SpongeBob contains an infinite amount of timelines and universes, and in turn has infinite size by having infinite timelines. This would make any feat of destroying the universe Multiverse Level+, and any feat of traversing the entire Universe (such the string) infinite speed.
Mirrors
Mirrors are also unimportant here, as it has been mentioned that a mirror is a parallel universe, and although we might believe that it is only this one mirror and Patrick created the universe, it has been shown several times that other mirrors contain universes and can interact with the real world, which shows that each mirror is literally a parallel universe.
The Multiverse
The SpongeBob Multiverse of SpongeBob is infinite, it has been seen in the comic "Crisis of Infinite Jerks" that there are infinite Spongebobs, Patricks and Sandys that come from alternate dimensions to the universe, which means that there is an infinite Multiverse and as we saw above, each universe contains infinite timelines.
The author's plane
Not much is known about this place, it is the plane from which the author writes the SpongeBob comic, seeing the characters as a simple flat drawing on a sheet. It has been shown that the characters are able to interact with this plane in some ways, which rules out it actually being a higher dimension.
The Dreaming Dreamer wich Dreams
Definitely the most infamous feat in the entire Spongebob-verse.
In SpongeBob comic issue #37, we are presented with a curious story. After hunting jellyfish as usual, SpongeBob eats jelly from a blue jellyfish, which makes him access another dimensional plane and be able to see the blue jellyfish's true form. He explains to SpongeBob that he must awaken an entity known as the "Dreaming Dreamer", which contains the entire dimensional plane as a simple dream. In the end, SpongeBob manages to wake him up, but he himself wakes up as if it had all been just a dream.
The problem is that we cannot scale Squidward and other characters to this feat, mainly because it is not something completely unique to SpongeBob. SpongeBob needed the blue jellyfish jelly to coexist in that dimensional plane, and it is something that is said explicitly.
"MY JELLY HAS ALLOWED YOU TO COEXIST WITH ME ON MY DIMENSIONAL PLANE, SPONGEBOB."
Furthermore, SpongeBob was not even able to perceive the jellyfish's true form until eating the jelly. This gets worse when we can see that Squidward exists within Dreaming Dreamer's dream; meaning he cannot access his dimensional plane.
"When Dreamer woke up, both dimensional planes merged into one, so the entire SpongeBob Universe is of higher dimensions"
This is a very common mistake. While the Blue Jellyfish's goal was to have both dimensional planes, this is nothing more than a lie she made up after saying that awakening the Dreaming Dreamer would make him rule his dimensional plane. After waking him up, there are no real changes in SpongeBob's universe and in fact, SpongeBob still sees beings from another dimensional plane as normal animals, meaning that he again cannot see their real forms.
All of this is made clearer when at the end of the comic, we can see that SpongeBob and his friends still exist within the dreams of Dreaming Dreamer. This tells us that in reality, both dimensional planes never joined, and in reality, the plane of the Dreamer continued to govern the plane of SpongeBob and his friends.
To summarize: While we see the feat well and consider it can be used, it is not something Squidward can scale to. It's just a state Spongebob gets after eating blue jellyfish jelly.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy Scaling
This will be a quick one.
As you could see in the Scaling section, we used feats of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy from their comics, and a common mistake is to think that those comics are just fictional inside the SpongeBob verse so their exploits didn't happen.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy have mentioned their adventures in comics as things they experienced when they were young, and even remember them with nostalgia, not only that, but SpongeBob has shown that he can bring the Mermaid Man from his show into the real world, Plankton resists being smashed by comic heroes, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy from Bikini Bottom can fight on par with their old versions, even Squidward can fight them.
Because of this, the comic feats of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy will be taken into account for Squidward.
Regular Show Cosmology
Talking about the entirety of Regular Show Cosmology isn't entirely necessary since no one scales to this. The seer mentions that there are many universes that come to an end, and this time it was the boys' turn, which means that not even Pops can destroy anything beyond the main universe. However... we can only dig into the "Universe" we know, and since characters like Lord of Destruction could destroy it, Benson scales the universe.
The Universe in Regular Show is not just a common space-time, in fact, it contains several universes inside (yes, it sounds weird but let us explain). Pops and Anti-Pops could destroy the entire Regular Show Universe, resetting the events of the series over and over again, this means that all the places we see in the series are affected by the reset, as they are events that repeat over and over again in each cycle after the destruction of the universe.
What we mean is, if Mordecai and Rigby met a character in another Universe, that universe is within the universe of the series, since the characters not remembering anything before the reset, were affected by it over and over again, which means they are within the main universe and within range of Pops and Anti-Pops destruction, after all, the seer mentions the Regular Show universe as if it were the series itself (since she watches it), and Pops is able to affect the show's intro, meaning that the "Universe" of Regular Show is the series itself, and the alternate universes seen in the series are part of this universe. Yes, it sounds crazy and confusing, but already understanding this concept, we can see how big this universe is.
First we must know that the universe contains several sub-dimensions, such as the Internet, a three-dimensional space of infinite size, which means that the universe has an infinite size.
The universe contains different spaces and times, such as the world without rules, a place without rules limiting it to space-time. Nega space-time, a dimension within a fictional world that became real and where dinosaurs come from. Or the dimension of the monster of Infinity, which has galaxies and is not restricted to the limitations of time and space.
In the universe there are also different existential planes and "worlds", a word that has been used to speak of literal universes with their separate space and time.
Pops Scaling
Before you kill us, let us explain ourselves. It's obvious that Benson doesn't have the same AP as Pops, but as for speed, that's a different story.
All park employees can keep up with Pops during his training, who was quickly running through the entire park (although they didn't catch up to him, they were following right behind him without losing sight of him, so they are still comparable), and they can also fight , dodge and run away from Anti-Pops, who previously defeated Pops in a fight.
Pops in his base state was able to intercept Anti-Pops in his Titan form before he managed to attack, avoid his blows and even dodge him. Although this occurs in a dream, several times we have seen that dreams in Regular Show are real: Pops entered the mind of Anti-Pops to talk to him, Mordecai and Rigby can enter the minds of others when they become dizzy, and the alien of the nightmares waking up with real injuries from a fight that occurred in a dream, plus everyone was able to enter Pops' dream.
With all this, we can assure that the park employees are comparable to Pops and Anti-Pops at their peaks.
As for Pops' speed feats, there is one specific one that we can delve into.
After hitting each other, Pops and Anti-Pops can generate an explosion capable of erasing the universe in a second (and yes, this expansion through the universe is very literal). Mordecai and Rigby managed to run away from the Anti-Pops wipe (and even react to Anti-Pops' erasure, putting power in front of them), which Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost were also able to do (although they were hit, but this is because they tripped). We could say that the park ones scale to this explosion, because they are comparable to Pops and Anti-Pops, who can physically generate it.
This can be taken as a feat of infinite speed since the universe of Regular Show is infinite, or even as Incommensurable since the universe of Regular Show contains various spaces and times, and is capable of affecting the very concept of time and the timelines, expanding along them.
If we do not give it that and use it as a finite feat, taking our normal universe as a reference, we are left with a speed of 746 Quadrillions (Massively FTL+), and taking into account that the "Universe" of Regular Show has 7 Universes, we have an amount of 20 Quintillion times the speed of light (Massively FTL+)
This feat can be taken as infinite or finite speed depending on how you interpret it, for our part, we leave this section up to here.

Verdict
Mortadela
Hey, hello to whoever reads this. First of all, it's a huge pleasure to have worked on this blog, seeing that you liked the previous one, I'm glad to continue participating and bringing these analyses.
Now, moving on to the Verdict, it wasn't something really easy, since both characters have an immense amount of skills and arsenal, I'll try to give a well detailed Verdict.
Stats
Oh man the funniest part to mention, well uhm, yeah, starting with finite stats, it's obvious that Squidward has an advantage being of a Universal Level (Nonillion times higher than a normal one lol), or at least a Galaxy Level.
Meanwhile, while Benson's stats are debatable, he gets at least a Small Star to Large Star level thanks to the destruction of Loliland (if we don't use Surface Area) by scaling Mordecai and Rigby, and with rarer feats, he could lead to a Galaxy Level by the image of Skips having a galaxy in his stomach (which I personally find weird but I'll let it go), so, Squidward upscaling to Universe Level while Benson goes from a Small Star/Large Star to Galaxy Level Debatable.
Their infinite level feats are more curious, as both are placed solidly in Tier 2 (Uni+ to Multi+), but there is someone who has a clear advantage. By having scaling to his universe, Benson leads to a Low Multiverse Level, out of a maximum amount of 7 universes as explained in the Cosmology section, while, Squidward smoothly reaches a Multiverse Level+, since a universe in SpongeBob has an infinite amount of other universes and timelines, basically, Squidward is strong enough to one-shot Benson and resist his attacks without even flinching, so, yeah, there's not much Benson can do about it here.
Moving on to his speeds, Squidward would reach a Massively FTL+ speed (3.39 Quattuorviginitillion), while, Benson scaled to the galaxy-sized sword (13 Trillion c) by being able to react while in the ducklings, and with his scaling to the explosion of Pops and Anti-Pops that can cover the universe, he would reach Massively FTL+ (746 Quadrillion c to 20 Quintillion c), this leaves as a result that Squidward is much, much faster in Finite speed, so Squidward takes the trinity without much discussion.
But Benson is not entirely lost. Even in finite Ends, Benson has his vehicles, which have infinite speeds, since El Carrito can make an infinite number of turns in time 0, and the Yet ship can travel through time, overcoming infinite speed and opening a hole in space-time. Sure, these are somewhat situational things and Benson probably couldn't do much in those moments, but it's something to keep in mind.
Infinite Ends are much easier, as they both have Infinite or Immeasurable speed feats that will be talked about later, but for now I'll leave it at that.
Abilities
Both have a plethora of powers, but it's clear that one has the advantage here.
Squidward can use powers such as his Sound Manipulation with his clarinet, which we'll talk about later as he has a lot to offer.
Benson won't have a huge amount of Haxes, but his transformations make up for it with his ability to control a virtual world and literally destroy concepts.
The biggest problem is Squidward's Immortality, as his author saves him and the Pendant will restart the game until Squidward wins, however, Benson's ability to erase concepts from existence could make him a direct counter to this.
Conclusion
So, with everything seen, Squidward takes the trinity of finite stats, with an advantage big enough to just kill Benson in one hit before he can even react, and with his infinite stats, he still has enough advantage to still win from a single attack, plus much more varied Armament, more useful forms and better Haxes. So, my conclusion is...
Kakashi
Como tan muchacho, yo lo veo a utede muy bien, hoy utede han estado leyendo el blog, yo creo que se merecen una recompensa, velda? , que tal mi veredicto?
Well, starting with physical stats, Squidward has a huge advantage in terms of finite and infinite distances, one thing to note about Benson is that he could lengthen the fight enough to use things like video game form and so on, although Squidward has things that would save him from this, such as immersion, besides, Squisward seems to me to have better transformations than Benson and much easier to access, besides multiple wincons, like clarinet or sealed, Squidward also has author protection that would save him from Benson, although for Benson's fortune, he could also gain time in a fight and go angry until he enters his last phase of anger (with which he deafened Mordecai and Rigby) however, it seems to me that Squiward has ways of one shotear before Benson achieves something.
In conclusion, Squidward gets my vote and a Sweet Victory.
PredatorGhost
Ok, at first glance you would think that Squidward would have it easy, right? Well no... Exactly, we know that he is stronger and more resistant and has several tools to finish the fight before but Benson is not far behind, he has multiple ways to survive and hold on long enough, as would be the Mortal Lock or keep fighting as a ghost, he also has several endurance tools and both have speed feats that put them equal in that sense, although Squidward has ways to kill him earlier, he has in general terms much more variety of techniques, much arsenal and more transformations however Benson also has his own, like Death Kwon Do skill, the access to the suit or his Rambo mode, Benson can also put Squidward in trouble with his video game form, which would give him a hard time, even if Squidward manages to escape from this, Benson has one last card, he is the God of Order, SpongeBob's world makes no sense and is very chaotic, the whole fight would be somewhat chaotic, and then he would need a good manager to handle the situation not for nothing Benson is the reincarnation of Order itself, it is not that weird to imagine, I mean, Benson is also a chosen one by the LaserDisc gods, And while Squidward, as has been said, has a better chance of finishing the fight, I'm more of a fan of seeing the result with both of them at their best, and well, Benson could simply erase the concept of Squidward and finish him off for good, to tell the truth, it sounds very anticlimactic but that's the way things are.
The winner, albeit by a very small margin, is Benson.
Lua
Stats
There's not much to discuss here, standard regular show characters scale to characters that can blow up universes and survive space-time explosions without any problems, and with various plots they can get to low multiversal, this is awesome.... but oh boy, squidward has a lot going for him here, bob unraveling the universe is a Nonillion times Universal, and with infinite ends he'd get to multiversal+! meaning no matter what you take, squidward would always have an advantage in this section, same applies for speed, benson is about 20 quintillion times the speed of light, while squidward is about 3.39 Quattourviginitillones thanks to this, but both have arguments to reach infinite or immeasurable speeds, Squidward is finitely faster, yes, but both can reach these great ends, so both should be equal in this section, but it is my conclusion that Squiward takes the stats in power and durability by a large margin one way or another.
Abilities
this is where it gets more complicated, they both have an amazing amount of skills to demonstrate, but most of the potential options to use here, death kwon do, video game powers, etc, are great right? well, yep, but squidward can answer most of these, squidward is someone incredibly skilled too, he has trained with Sandy and Spongebob, he has fought people who were humiliating Spongebob, but the important thing here was his effects, wipe squidward out with one punch? squidward can come back from absolute nothingness, catch squidward? squidward with his own abilities can escape from the show itself, open portals with the time medallion, restart the fight, or simply manipulate the plot (same thing your author can do to help him) or potentially asking the machine to shut down and stop working, same way margaret made mordecai and rigby get out, and the same way squidward was able to escape in sb-129, wanting this time machine to work and activate itself, he could do it technically, even if it's very speculative, he already has many more to escape, hell, he's even been able to defeat clockwork, even though he saw we were going to lose and be defeated just to change that same fate, even barba burger manipulated the story but the characters managed to continue it and defeat him, plausibly resisting the rule book, apart from his own plot manipulation counteracting each other, controlling him is not a good idea either, Due to his coexistence with Spongebob and Patrick, he can't change his mind as long as a rain cloud remains over his brain, He has things in his head that make him just be him, and he can live without a brain, transmute it either thanks to being turned back into Squid and that randomland way of his, benson has good luck, too, but Squidward and his life insurance as well, even affection Patrick and SpongeBob, the same ones...have had incredible incidents like the time the jellyfish caught itself, defeated a guy unintentionally, etc., while benson, although he could counter the corrosion of the clarinet, it is still TOO much for him, just by playing the clarinet he could put benson to sleep, even if benson were to go against him in ghost mode, he has affected plankton and the wandering dutchman being them, well, ghosts, and even if benson were against him in ghost mode, he has affected plankton and the wandering dutchman being them.well, ghosts! aside from physically fighting the dutchman, thanks to the clarinet's exaggerated range and how much squidward uses it, it was an incredible opportunity, but with sour note, which further increases his already exaggerated range that affects things outside of the ocean itself, all of benson's options were eclipsed but...
this was squidward's BIGGEST problem, Holy Order of Orderliness could end the fight IMMEDIATELY with one shot, effectively ending squidward's concept, this was benson's biggest trump card if squidward wasn't cautious enough, unfortunately, here we look at who would win more times than not, and this was incredibly dangerous were it not for squidward's own trump cards, such as perks, potentially squidward simply had more options than benson did not, having a numbers advantage thanks to his numerous summons, increasing his stats even more, stun benson etc, thanks to his own abilities squidward can use these to pull out all his other tricks!, like manipulating plot and reality to his advantage, wiping benson's memory, shattering him to atomic and quantum levels, or just playing the clarinet and stiffing him, and remember that incredibly sweet AOE, Squidward simply had too much shit to throw at benson, while benson didn't have the time or options to be able to keep up for long.
benson was an outrageously powerful opponent that's for sure, but the strength, durability, skills, counters and .... well, clarinet, was more than enough to put benson underwater, thus, getting him a sweet victory.

Wou
This fight was one of the fun fights of the blog so far, let's go by parts.
Stats
Really, Benson doesn't have much to do in this section. Squidward has better stats on both ends.
Infinite Ends: While Regular Show can get to have 2-C Low feats up to a considerable level in 2-C, simply the cosmology in SpongeBob is too superior, getting to have infinite universes, and Squidward being a character that gets to upscale the protagonist, taking the trinity of stats.
Finite Ends: This section could make the battle seem a little more equal, it is quite far from that.
As already shown, Squidward scales SpongeBob, which coincidentally reaches Quattourvigintillions of times the speed of light, and Nonmillions of times higher than Baseline in 3-A, while the best Benson has is a scalling Big Star to Solar System, along with a couple of 20 quintillions of times C, making Benson not even have time to perceive Squidward.
Hax: Speaking of the series, Benson in this section also comes up short, excepting a few things like manipulating laws and the fate of the park book or rules, while Squidward absurdly has better skills to end the fight, from putting Benson to sleep, author help and manipulating the plot to make things go his way. While in the comics, Benson gains many more abilities, they are not something Squidward can't really come back from or resist.
Holy Order of Orderliness:
This would be the biggest problem Squidward could ever have in the fight and a sure win for Benson, coming to erase the concept of Squidward, something that his protection from the author could not help him come back from this let alone his divine regeneration.
Unfortunately this state is not something Benson can naturally access unless chaos floods the battle scene long enough.
The most times a character can win is used here, and Squidward has the skills, stats, resistances to Benson's best abilities (on base) and higher scalling, making him unquestionably the winner of today's blog.
General Verdict
In order not to make a mess, we decided to make a collective Verdict where we will summarize all the arguments presented by each Team and give a closure to this.
Team Squidward
Stats
SpongeBob's finite stats are not few, in fact they abound in the show and comics and give Squidward a really decent level. Among the most basic, Squidward survived a scream that sent the planet's ocean flying, survived SpongeBob absorbing and returning the ocean (21 Yottatons of TNT), is comparable to Patrick, who can freeze the planet (1359.36 Exatons), and to SpongeBob, who can turn into the moon (415 Yottatons). Turning to his cosmic feats, SpongeBob can create dimensions with entire galaxies (183.56 ZettaFOE), and even reduce the universe to a single thread (Nonillion Times Universe Level).
With his infinite stats, SpongeBob's most basic feats hover around Universe Level+, from Patrick creating a parallel Universe, to Clockwork saying he saw the end of the universe over and over again, however, as explained in the Cosmology section, the universe in SpongeBob is infinite and contains an infinite amount of timelines, so feats like Man Ray and Patrick surviving the destruction of the universe, or SpongeBob destroying the Universe should be Multiverse Level+, which would give Squidward's a massive advantage in stats.
Now, Squidward could fight Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, even Mr Krabs survived an attack from both of them together, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy can beat Man Ray, who survived a universe-ending black hole (a Multiverse Level+ feat), so even if you didn't want to scale Squidward with SpongeBob, Squidward would still have a stats advantage.
To Benson's bad luck, speed is not something he has on his side. Regular Show speed consistently goes at a Massively FTL+ level, ranging from the feat of Baby Ducklings lifting the galactic blade (1.5 Trillion c), to Pops and Anti-Pops creating an explosion that covers the universe (746 Quadrillion c to 20 Quintillion c), while, SpongeBob's speed is usually consistently higher, going from the Atlantean journey (2 Billion c), Patrick creating a Universe in seconds, and the best feat, SpongeBob erasing the universe with the thread (3.39 Quattuorviginitillion), so knowing that Squidward's speed is 3.39937337583055556e77, and Benson's is 20543997599999664000, Squidward would be in total a Trevigintillion (1.6546796960132093e58) times faster.
Squidward and other characters also have different Infinite/Immeasurable speed feats, for example, SpongeBob can travel the entire Universe until he destroys it, and we must keep in mind that the universe is infinite and contains an infinite amount of timelines, also, SpongeBob can spin a hamburger so fast that it travels to another dimensional plane because of its spinning speed, being an Immeasurable speed feat. It is comparable to Mermaid Man, who can react by traveling through time. It is comparable to normal Bikini Bottom fish, which can run away from SpongeBob while traveling in time. And even Squidward himself can go all the way around Nowhere, a void with infinite size. SpongeBob's characters have a fairly consistent Infinite to Immeasurable speed, so that can be taken into account.
Arsenal and Abilities
Squidward's Armament is very extensive and varied, so we will mention his most useful equipment that could be useful in this fight.
Clarinet: He can finish the fight in multiple ways, one of these is his Dura Neg, which can tear off Benson's skin and organs leaving only his skeleton, cause a heart attack or in the worst case, make him explode. Or to make it kinder to Benson, it causes him to start crying or fall asleep, it could even disturb Benson after he dies and become a ghost. Squidward can use his sound as a tornado or giant attack that can affect the whole world, so Benson has no way to avoid it.
Plasma: Although it is somewhat eventual, Squidward could use it and transmute Benson into a snail. It is not instantaneous, but Benson will be worse as the fight progresses and in the long run he may not even be able to fight.
House: He can fight in a mecha house that can also fly and shoot lasers to keep up with Benson's ships.
Life Insurance: Can compete with Benson's luck, giving him incredible supernatural luck that will save him from taking damage throughout the fight.
However, Squidward's best arsenal is found in video games, where he has a great amount of abilities and items that can put Benson in trouble. Below, we will mention the most useful items in this fight
- Hydrodynamic Design: Gain +10% movement speed per level (up to 30%).
- Irken Shield Generator: Start each match with a Protection Shield that absorbs +10% damage (up to [?]%).
- Tommy’s Ball: It also reflects projectiles and other thrown items.
- Guidance Chip: When thrown, an Irken ship will pass over the top of the screen and rain down lasers around where the chip lands; damaging any opponents in the way.
- Trash Can: Functions almost identically like the LOG FROM BLAMMO, but it leaves behind piles of damaging goop similar to the one seen in Oblina’s mid special. Once it breaks, it leaves behind three piles of goop.
- The Suck-o-Matic: When thrown, it will suck in any fighters or items towards itself for a short time. It can be destroyed while it is active by attacking it. When it’s not active, hitting it will merely push it around.
- Fenton Thermos: When thrown, it will release 9 damaging ghosts from where it lands that float upwards.
- Jellyfish Jelly: When thrown, a group of 5 jellyfish are summoned that form a line and float around where the jelly landed in either a circle pattern or an ♾️ pattern. Any opponents in their path are damaged.
Squidward has a lot of offensive and defensive equipment and items that give him the clear advantage against Benson, in addition to outnumbering him as his items can summon jellyfish and ghosts that will help him in the fight.
Moving on to Abilities, Squidward has a lot of Haxes that could help him in the fight. Starting with his offensive abilities, Squidward can use his clarinet as a weapon with abilities like his Sound Manipulation, which can make Benson explode, put him to sleep, and even fuck him up after he dies. Something to mention, the sound of the clarinet has a massive AoE by affecting the real world and its inhabitants, even though they resisted sounds heard all over the planet.
His Subjective Reality is also somewhat useful, as he can change the scenery at will, summon Greek legends for combat, and even create scenarios where he has the upper hand. Something that comes hand in hand is his Probability Manipulation, as by saying so, he can cause things like crashing Benson's video game or causing him to unplug, or even completely nullify his abilities! Of course, the limit is in Squidward's imagination and what he wants to do.
His ability to step outside the comic would be a perfect way to escape Videogame B2
enson's BFR and be able to get out of his virtual world, as well as being able to attack untouched.
Memory Wipe could be a way to win the battle without necessarily killing Benson, as his clarinet could put him to sleep, Squidward can use those moments to wipe Benson's brain and make him forget who he is and why they are fighting, giving Squidward the victory.
Forms
Oh yes, we expected this. We'll mention his most useful forms and how they contribute to the fight, since forms like Magma Man are useless here as Benson resists heat.
Sour Note
Sour Note is able to create the clarinet if he didn't have it, as well as improving his Sound Manipulation to have more range. As mentioned above, the Clarinet can kill Benson and even fuck him up once he's a ghost.
The Squishy Knight
The Squishy Knight hasn't demonstrated many powers, however, he seems to make Squidward stronger by increasing his muscle mass. He can also throw pies to blind Benson momentarily so he can attack without being dodged.
Handsome Squidward
Handsome Squidward has good enough social influence to be a way to win instantly, since Benson won't want to fight. In Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, Handsome Squidward is a technique that Squidward can use to make the enemy not move or dodge his attack, and considering the overwhelming difference in Stats, a single Squidward attack with this technique would kill Benson instantly.
Tertiary Factors
Squidward is an experienced fighter, despite his ego and confidence, he can fight martial artists such as SpongeBob and trained with Sandy, even wearing a black belt. In Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, he can fight on par with Splinter despite being a martial arts master, which would help him against Death Kwon-Do, which has the techniques of ancient senseis.
Conclusion
The fight was closer than we expected, although Benson had forms and Abilities that put Squidward against the wall, his better access to his forms, his more useful and varied equipment, his better training and martial technique, and last but not least, his face made by the angels themselves would give him the victory in the end.
During the fight, Squidward can finish it so fast that he only needs to use Handsome Squidward as an attack for Benson not to dodge and then give him a lethal blow to kill him. Another issue to mention is Benson's Weaknesses, as Squidward hitting him would cause his gumballs to fall, and if Squidward happens to eat one, he would have control of Benson's mind, being an imminent victory.
If Squidward decides to play his clarinet, Benson could fall asleep or start crying, enough for Squidward to give him a blow that would kill him or in the best case scenario, playing the clarinet would cause Benson to literally explode or die of a heart attack, leaving his ghost to continue the fight but still be affected by Squidward's angelic music.
Benson was fired, and Squidward took Sweet Victory, The Winner is Squidward Tentacles.
Team Benson
Stats
Starting with his basic stats, Benson survived being on the Baby Ducks when they fell to earth and obliterated their surface, being Moon Level (128.5 Extatons). The best feat in the show is that Mordecai and Rigby survived the destruction of Loliland (54.18 Quettatons to 0.265 Foe), leaving Benson at a Small Star to Large Star Level+.
Moving on to the comics, Park Avenue can paint the sky and cover the sun, Skips has a galaxy in his stomach (although it could be calculated and would give a much lower result if we take it literally), and finally, the Infinity Monster claims to have the power of a thousand dead suns.
Obviously we can't forget his infinite feats, like Skips fighting Lord of Destruction, who was destroying the space-time continuum, or fighting the Infinity monster, who had the power for his darkness to wipe out reality. Mordecai and Rigby were also able to fight two robots, opening a portal that would destroy two universes, and as we know, the Regular Show universe has at least 7 universes within it and is infinite in size, leaving it at a total Low Multiverse Level.
It is correct that Squidward has a far superior Finite speed, however, Regular Show characters also have infinite speed feats, for example, Rigby can pilot his ship while dodging timelines and the Timenado, which was moving and expanding throughout the timeline. Skips can fight the Infinity Monster, who is not restricted by space-time and can traverse dimensions simply by flying.
As for his scaling to Pops, he should be superior to Father Time, who is Immeasurable being the concept of time incarnate. The explosion of Pops and Anti-Pops should have Infinite to Immeasurable velocity, since the Regular Show universe is infinite in size and contains several spaces and times in it, so expanding throughout the Universe would be an infinite superior feat.
Forms
As before, we'll mention Benson's useful forms and what they add to the fight.
Death Kwon Do: Death Kwon-Do would give Benson a greater fighting ability, although his Deconstruction would not be useful.
Videogame: This form is somewhat more complicated, as it could send Squidward to his video game world that he controls, and force him to clean or work against his will, the problem is that we do not know if it is a kind of Mind Hax or is linked to the control of his reality.
Holy Order of Orderliness: Definitely Benson's best state without discussion. With this form, Benson becomes one with the very concept of order, and can destroy a concept that governs reality like chaos, in fact, he destroyed the Oracle of Chaos and chaos disappeared, returning reality to normal. Needless to say that a destruction of concepts is something Squidward has never faced, so not even his great Regeneration will save him from this.
Arsenal and Abilities
In his base state, Benson doesn't have a huge amount of Abilities that could give him an advantage, at most, we could mention that he can summon weapons by raising his hand, he could disintegrate Squidward with Death Kwon-Do (although this doesn't negate his Regeneration) or he could use his luck.
His video game form is different in that he controls an entire virtual reality at will and can manipulate that world. He can also force players to work, which he could use in Squidward and eventually all of Bikini Bottom, however, he can be unplugged.
If Benson uses BFR on Squidward, he probably wouldn't be able to control it right away, as Squidward can restart the game should he lose, which could delay the issue and probably oppose Benson's control.
Now, as for the Holy Order of Orderliness, as mentioned, it can destroy a concept like chaos, erasing everything it represents and returning reality to normal. A single attack and Squidward will be out of combat.
The problem is that to use it, Benson needs enough time for the fight to cause enormous chaos in the world, something he may eventually accomplish because of his anger and being able to resist some of Squidward's abilities.
Tertiary Factors
Benson has proven to use his equipment better offensively and defensively in combat as seen here, using the enemy's own weapons to his own advantage. He also has Death Kwon-Do at his disposal, which gives him the martial skill to hold his own in fights against martial arts masters and can quickly learn unique techniques that can give him the edge in a fight.
Conclusion
Benson is overshadowed in terms of physical strength and Durability, but his arsenal can compensate for this, Death Kwon-Do moves could block Squidward's attacks long enough to use his video game form and lock Squidward in his virtual world, and after the fight causes enough chaos, get his best state.
Then, the moment Benson transforms into the Holy Order of Orderliness, he will have the fight in his favor and will only need one attack to kill Squidward, making neither his Regeneration nor Resurrection able to save him from being fired.
Despite his attempts to do a good job, Squidward turned out to be just a slacker, The Winner is Benson Dunwoody.
