This needs a stretch. (Feel free to remove when satisfied of completion.) |
Dr. Rick Spartan is a jungle explorer who worked for a time as a biology teacher at Crystal Cove High School. He is the hero of Fred Jones, Jr. because he had escaped from so many traps.
Physical appearance
He looks like a typical lantern-jawed man of action.
Personality
He neglects the safety and comfort of his wife in favor of jungle adventures, which is what led her to create the Headless Horror in the first place and in the end briefly leave him.
Skills and abilities
Insert details here.
History
Early life
On one mission in the Amazon he found what he thought was an ancient temple with a shrunken head. When he touched the head it spoke, and a Headless Horror appeared to haunt him.
He took a teaching position at Crystal Cove High School only as a break before his next adventure.
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated
Season one
He was haunted by the Headless Horror, who turned out to be his wife, Marion, trying to make him quit the adventuring life. (Attack of the Headless Horror)
Season two
He showed up with Cachinga to fight the Gluten Demon, telling a story that Marion had been carried away by giant flies. In the end, it turned out they were separated, with Marion living at her mother's house. A phone call from Rick led to the promise of reconciliation for the couple. (The Devouring)

Notes/trivia
- Fred Jr.'s idolization of Rick is similar to the original Fred's own idolization of Melbourne O'Reilly from What's New, Scooby-Doo?.
- He has a quasi-resemblance to Bruce from the Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! episode, Don't Feed The Animals.
- The character is based Doc Savage ("Doc" Spartan...), especially the film version starring Ron Ely (the character is drawn wearing the same outfit worn by Ely in the film). The Doc Savage adventures, in turn, inspired Indiana Jones.
- The credits mistakingly list him as "Nick Spartan".
