PUNY HUMANS! ...What's up?
— Mark Chang

Mark Chang is the prince of Yugopotamia and a close friend of Timmy's. He also has a crush on Vicky, Timmy's babysitter. His father is King Gripullon and his mother is Queen Jipjorrulac.

Character[]

Mark is an alien Prince from the planet Yugopotamia, a place where everyone behaves and likes things opposite of humans. For instance, they find garbage and manure to be delicious and are terrified of cute things such as Poof or The Gigglepies. Mark's parents, King Gripullon and Queen Jipjorrulac, love their son very much, although they still arranged a wedding to the terrifying and beautiful (ugly to Mark) Princess Man-DIE. Eventually, Mark fled to Earth where he uses his Fake-i-fier to remain disguised as a human boy. Unlike humans who find Vicky to be terrifying, Mark is deeply in love with Vicky.

Description[]

Mark is a squid-like alien, possessing several tentacles and an exposed brain encased in a dome of glass. He’s aqua green and wears a pink Fake-i-fier around his waist, allowing him to take the form of various Earth objects by spinning the yellow six-spoke symbol to the desired form. His species is generally warlike and loves painful or disgusting things, which explains why Mark fell in love with Vicky the instant he saw her, many of his appearances involving his attempts to woo her. He’s one of the few people allowed to know about Timmy's fairy godparents since he's not a human, therefore outside of Da Rules.

Human form[]

In his human form, Mark appears as a boy around Timmy's age with red eyes, curly black hair, a green hat and pink shirt with the same symbol alien-Mark has on his Fake-i-fier. If something nice happens to Mark, for instance getting kissed by a girl, his Fake-i-fier will malfunction, and he’ll lose the ability to remain in human form.

In the episode, "King Chang", Mark changed his human disguise form to that of a handsome young teenage boy named Justin Jake Ashton so that way he can actually date Vicky on Earth, who he’s in love with. Unfortunately for him, his Fake-i-fier malfunctioned just before he got to kiss Vicky and she dumped him.

In Fairly OddPet, Vicky says she got in a fight with him and refers to him as her boyfriend, indicating that they have reconciled since the Fake-i-fier incident, but are now in a rocky relationship.

Background[]

Timmy's Enemy[]

Mark first met Timmy when he wished for an alien monster for him and his friends, Chester McBadbat and A.J., to play with. Wanda Fairywinkle-Cosma and Cosmo Cosma, not being very good at making up monsters, "borrowed" one from Yugopotamia, which happened to be Mark. Upon arriving, he threatened to suck out the trio's brains with bendy straws, but believing him to be an advanced toy, the threat wasn't taken seriously, much to his confusion. Soon afterward Vicky burst in, frightening the kids. Seeing she had so easily instilled fear into the three that he failed to even faze, he instantly fell in love with her.

Thinking he was a kid in a costume, Vicky dragged Mark downstairs, where she ordered him to make her a chocolate shake. This caused him to fall for her more, since chocolate is the deadliest substance to Yugopotamians. While fixing his crush her chocolate milkshake he was attacked by Chester and A.J., still thinking he was a toy. He captured them easily and was about to suck their brains out when Timmy came in, armed and ready to fight. Timmy lost as well, but before Mark could do anything King Gripullon and Queen Jipjorrulac came to the front door, disguised as humans and forced their son to come back home.[1]

After returning home Mark became depressed without Vicky. On his birthday he began sulking when Cosmo showed up, fulfilling Timmy's desire to get Vicky "a million million" miles from him. The green-haired fairy showed Mark a fake message from Vicky, begging him to come take her away. All too eager to comply, Mark left with his friends Jeff and Eric to retrieve her.

Landing on Earth, they quickly tracked Vicky and sprayed her with knockout gas, then convinced Mr. Turner that she was leaving for Europe. They then returned to their home planet, only to find Timmy waiting, demanding her back. Unwilling to relinquish his love, he challenged Timmy to "dijifat", which Timmy immediately accepted, thinking it was some flower skipping horror. It was actually Death Combat, which Mark chose to have in the Yugopotamian War Arena. Despite struggling against Cosmo and Wanda's magic, Mark eventually got the upper-hand and fired a large gun...and missed.

Timmy then got to choose the arena, to which he picked Flappy Bob's Happy Camp Learn-a-Torium. Overwhelmed by the sweetness and bright colors, he surrendered. Feeling sorry for him, Timmy spared his life, promised to give him Vicky when he turned sixteen and gave him a Smack-a-Mole machine as a birthday present. Mark vowed to return once he had mastered the machine.[2]

Mark was briefly brought to Earth by Timmy and Vicky's reset watches, but this event was quickly wiped out of the timeline.[3]

The following Halloween, when the royal ship was near Earth, Mark noticed the planet was going to explode, and went down with Jeff and Eric in Candy Protection Suits. While they quickly found Vicky, Cosmo prevented him from leaving on Timmy's orders. When the then in place wish was reversed, Mark recognized Timmy and accused him of preparing for war (since so many Earthlings were gathering candy). Timmy went along with this, threatening Yugopotamia. Panicking, Mark and his friends beamed back up and launched the P-Bomb at Earth. This was exactly what Timmy wanted, as it was really a piñata full of candy. Mark was temporarily saddened by Vicky's supposed death...until it was revealed that they had her cloned.[4]

Friendship with Timmy[]

Soon afterward, The Gigglepies invaded Yugopotamia, capturing and enslaving most of its inhabitants. Mark escaped and traveled to Earth to recruit Timmy to battle them. He planned to fight alongside him, but was distracted by Vicky. While Timmy was freeing Yugopotamia, Vicky was forcing Mark to do backbreaking labor, which was the highest expression of love on his planet. Vicky took advantage of this by using him to make money. By the time Timmy returned, Vicky was rich and Mark planned to stay, until Vicky hugged him. Horrified by this action, he quickly returned home.[5]

Mark eventually returned to Earth and offered to skate with Trixie Tang after Timmy wished there were no more boys on Earth. He was soon wished out of existence by the following wish. When it was unwished, he reappeared in front of The White House, where he loudly declared himself "a hostile alien bent on world domination", which promptly got him arrested. He somehow escaped from The Secret Service.[6]

Avoiding Marriage[]

Shortly afterwards, Mark was forced into getting married to Princess Mandie so the Yugopotamians and the Boudacians could forge a military alliance. Mark, however, was repulsed by Mandie's appearance and fled to Earth, where he begged Timmy to let him hide there. Timmy agreed and he began attending school disguised as a human student, while parking his ship in the Dimmsdale Dump. Eventually, however, Mandie found him and froze Cosmo and Wanda in carbonite to prevent them from interfering. After a long chase, Timmy and Mark tricked her into taking a transformed Denzel Crocker instead.[7]

Mark had Timmy over for dinner soon afterward, where he served him Broccoli Sundaes for dessert, to Timmy's horror. When Timmy wished for just dessert, Mark remained the only one thin due to him not eating any sugar. When the Earth began drifting toward the sun, he planned to flee, but the now bloated Timmy stopped him. He then sat on him until he gave up his Spinach Cobbler.[8]

When F.L.A.R.G. started, Mark fell into a depression at being unable to attend. Timmy decided to give him everything he needed to celebrate the holiday. Mark spent the next five days putting Timmy through a painful holi-week, accumulating in Goodbye...where he planned to blow up the Earth. Timmy convinced him he couldn't blow up the Earth since it was now his home. Mark agreed, and redirected the missile(with some more convincing from Timmy so his appendix wouldn’t destroy the Earth) to somewhere else, but we then find it hit Fairy World.[9]

Shortly after his Fake-i-fier was on the fritz, allowing Mandie to find him. In a panic, Timmy wished everything was like a child's puzzle book he was reading. As a result, Mark spent a while disguised as a trophy until Mandie threatened to blow up Dimmsdale Elementary School unless Mark surrendered. Mark complied, but she refused to spare the school. Fortunately, by that time Cosmo and Wanda found their wands and wished Mandie back on her planet and didn’t know where Mark was.[10]

When Timmy wished the world into a futuristic society, Mark was able to walk freely. He joined Timmy in defeating the Big Brain.[11]

Mark eventually celebrated his one year anniversary on Earth with Cosmo, Wanda, Poof and Timmy, where he revealed he was dating Vicky. However, the group was abducted by Grippulon, who explained he was targeted by an unknown assassin. Mark agreed to temporarily take the throne, sending his father to Earth disguised as Timmy while his mother but, being preoccupied trying to get Poof back from Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner, he did nothing, allowing Queen Jipjorrulac to go to the spa. Immediately after taking the throne Mandie revealed herself as the assassin and forced Mark to marry her, shrinking the fairies so they couldn't interfere. She then promptly tossed her husband and Timmy into jail. The pair escaped and fled to Earth, with Mandie in pursuit. Disguising himself as Justin Jake Ashton, Vicky's boyfriend, Vicky and Mandie got in a fight over him, which Vicky won. Mark hugged his girlfriend, causing his true form to be revealed, which led to Vicky dumping him. Mandie was arrested and sent to the dungeon and Mark’s dad allowed him to stay on Earth until it was time for him to truly take the throne.[12]

After Mandie[]

Shortly after Mandie was arrested, Mark's Fake-i-fier began to malfunction once more. He ran to Timmy to get it fixed, to go through several ordeals. Finally, Timmy had Mark pose as Poof's alien mom, allowing them to get him back from Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner. They then fixed the Fake-i-fier.[13]

Not long after his Fake-i-fier began malfunctioning again. Rather than go to Cosmo and Wanda, he opted to travel back to Yugopotamia to retrieve one from his parents. Unfortunately, he arrived just as The Darkness was invading Yugopotamia. With only one royal escape pod left, King Gripullon and Queen Jipjorrulac sent their son back to Earth. He landed right on top of an Eliminator impersonating him. After taking the destroyed robot's Fake-i-fier as his own, he explained the situation to Timmy and his fairies. The group traveled to Fairy World to tell Turbo Thunder, who they believed to be the real chosen one, but arrived just after Jorgen Von Strangle had banned him from the realm. Jorgen took them to the Cave Of Destiny, where they discovered a second part of the prophecy, written in Yugopotamian. This one called for Timmy to find the Wind Wand on the dark side of the blue moon to vanquish The Darkness once more. Shortly afterwards the Eliminators invaded Fairy World, capturing the world's fairies. Timmy and Mark barely escaped through a portal in the cave's wall.

Timmy decided to find the wand, asking Mark to come with him. The Yugopotamian prince refused, however, preferring to stay at home and eat. However, when Timmy got attacked by Eliminators disguised as his parents, he had a change of heart and decided to help him. After being attacked by Eliminators impersonating Chester, A.J. and Trixie now realizing they didn’t have a spaceship since Mark was on Yugopotamia, they decided to seek help from more unusual sources. Going into the Crocker Cave, they asked Timmy's teacher for help. Crocker agreed after Timmy anticlimactically admitted he had fairies and let them use his telescope. There, they saw The Blue Moon of the Vegan System, where the Wind Wand rested. Crocker also provided a rocket for transportation, but launched it before anyone was on it. Unfazed, Timmy asked for a laptop, an internet connection and a whoopie cushion, which Mark already provided. The resulting TooYube video had the desired effect: getting Dark Laser to come to Earth in a fit of rage. Timmy merely pushed him back on his spaceship and summoned Vicky just before taking off. After a quick explanation and a few promises, the group began heading toward the Blue Moon.

The group decided to stop at a restaurant at the neighboring planet Frigidarium. It turned out to be a trap by the Eliminators. The resulting fight was undeniably one-sided, with Crocker, Vicky and Dark Laser getting captured. Mark and Timmy ran out, only to run into Turbo Thunder, demanding to know where the Wind Wand was. Timmy agreed on the condition that he would take him and Mark with him. Thunder promised, but after Timmy told him the location he abandoned them to the Eliminators. Mark saved their lives by swallowing Timmy and stowing away on the bottom of Thunder's ship. When the reached the Blue Moon he coughed his friend up.

After Timmy earned the Wind Wand and proved himself the true Chosen One, the Darkness appeared. Fortunately, at that point so did all to Timmy's now freed friends. The Darkness responded by attempting to swallow them all. Timmy, realizing what he had to do, sacrificed himself. After temporarily mourning his friend, Mark attempted to take advantage of the grieving Vicky, with predictably painful results.

After Timmy was rescued from The Darkness, Mark welcomed him back to Earth, interrupting an attempted kiss between him and Trixie. He then geared up to fight The Darkness, but was soon captured by invading Eliminators. After The Darkness became The Kindness, he was restored. He then attended a large party in celebration.[14]

In Marked Man, he meets Chloe Carmichael who’s the second human besides Timmy to truly accept him and his alien ways. Mark was revealed to have a dream of being accepted by the humans in his true form and free to be a hairstylist. With Chloe's encouragement, he goes to her and Timmy's school revealing his true form to their classmates. However, it turned out everyone there were government agents (including Mr. Crocker's mother) who immediately pursued him. After a series of events, Chloe and Mark with Mark being promised to put in a cell next to Big Foot and The Lochness Monster who are revealed to be his band mates. As he and Chloe were captured, Timmy's actions saved them, she and Mark were released and the latter was permitted to live on Earth in his true form while setting his band mates free.

In the end, Mark was able to live out his dream of being accepted in his true form and be a hairstylist with Chloe, Timmy, Big Foot and The Lochness Monster being his first customers.

Weaknesses[]

Like all Yugopotamians, he fears nice and cute things like flowers and chocolates. Also, hugs and kisses from girls make his Fake-i-fier malfunction. It was also revealed that he fears soy cubes which Gary and Betty offered him when they popped out of the smack-a-mole game which Timmy gave him as a present. This was revealed in the episode Totally Spaced Out.

Relationships[]

Mark and Vicky[]

When Mark first met Vicky he fell in love with her bad attitude and unattractive appearance, as Yugopotamian's love opposites from humanity's, he actually found Vicky to be quite desirable. Vicky seems oblivious to his attraction at first, but later he uses it as a means to accomplish her work easier by using him as a loyal servant. Vicky also doesn’t realize Mark is an alien and thinks that he’s a foreign exchange student from Europe who’s wearing a alien costume all the time. Mark was going to go on a date with Vicky while using his Fake-i-fier to change his appearance to that of a handsome human teenage boy, but his Fake-i-fier malfunctioned and he returned to normal, causing Vicky to dump him. This romantic angle hasn’t been touched upon since and Mark is seen actively trying to pursue normal Earth girls in recent episodes.

Mark and Princess Mandie[]

Mark dislikes and fears Princess Mandie, dumping her at the altar after his parents tried to force him to marry her. Because of the nature of Yugopotamians, Princess Mandie's beauty is repulsive to them. Eventually, Princess Mandie and Mark were married, but it turned out it was just a ruse to take over his planet. Mark Chang returned to Earth again and Mandie followed, but she was defeated by the one woman in the universe even nastier than she was: Vicky.

Mark and Timmy[]

When Mark and Timmy first met, they immediately became enemies after Mark tried to suck out Chester and A.J.'s brains with bendy straws. Also, after getting fed up with being dropped off at Flappy Bob's Learn-a-torium, Timmy takes Vicky back from Mark after he wishes she was a million and million miles away, probably damaging their relationship even more. Despite getting off on the wrong foot, Mark turns to Timmy to help him with his problems. Timmy has helped Mark defeat the Gigglepies, escape from Princess Mandie, and even helped him find a place on Earth to settle down. However, in Just Desserts, Mark shows little concern for Timmy's planet, refusing to give Timmy even a can of spinach cobbler to save his planet. Eventually, Timmy had to sit on Mark with his newly-gained weight before Mark would hand him the can of spinach.

In later episodes, their friendship greatly improves after Timmy celebrates the F.L.A.R.G. with Mark, partly because Timmy is the only friend that Mark has on Earth. Timmy willingly helps Mark with all his problems and Mark occasionally returns the favor, saving Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda from Jeremy the monster. In addition, in Escape from Unwish Island, it’s revealed that Mark and the Founding Fathers were Timmy's only wishes who still liked him, and they helped him fight the Unwishes. Even the Founding Fathers started hating Timmy after he landed them in jail for losing against the Unwishes. They then ditched him, leaving Timmy in the cell. It’s unknown what happened to Mark, but since he wasn’t seen leaving the cell, he probably stayed behind, standing by Timmy's side.

During Marked Man, when Mark and Chloe were rounded up by Mrs. Crocker and secret agents, Timmy disguises himself as a threatening alien to free them. Timmy also forced the agents to leave Mark alone and allow him to live out his dream of being a hairdresser.

Mark and Cosmo and Wanda[]

Mark sees the pair with Timmy all the time, though they hardly interact.

In Five Days of F.L.A.R.G., Mark acknowledges them as Timmy's little friends and apparently knows of their great powers.

Mark apparently hangs out with Cosmo, calling the latter by his name and bringing up an event they attended.

Mark and Chloe[]

Mark meets Chloe in Marked Man because Timmy wanted to prove to her that aliens do exist. Initially, Chloe didn’t believe Mark was an actual alien until he revealed his true form and she was amazed by it. Chloe accepted Mark's form and was given a new hairstyle by him after she told him to live out his dream. The next day, Chloe brought Mark to her school and had him reveal his true form so others would accept him as well but this was a mistake as government agents immediately pursued him. After a series of events, Chloe and Mark were cornered as the girl tried to defend the alien calling him her friend but they captured. However, thanks to Timmy's actions, she and Mark were released and the latter was free to live on Earth in his true form. In the end, Mark was able to live out his dream of being a hairstylist with Chloe and Timmy being his first customers.
