The Faculty 4 is an evil super-powered team representing "Substitute Teacher's Day", much like the Elfa Strike Squad. They are led by Edna Jucation, although she is not actually part of the group. The Faculty Four are jealous of Santa Claus due to his holiday being the most popular and theirs being completely unknown, and are employed by the Delightful Children From Down The Lane during Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y..
The Faculty Four consists of:
- Mr. Physically Fitastic (Daran Norris): A gym teacher who is so fit he can stretch his body to impossible lengths. He is the de facto leader of the group (since Edna doesn't fight) and a parody of Mr. Fantastic.
- Unintelligible Tutor (Dee Bradley Baker): A tutor whose confusing speech gives everyone headaches, and a parody of the Invisible Woman. Her name is similar to the Terrible Tutor.
- Thesaurus Rex (Dee Bradley Baker): A T-Rex made of many thesauruses, a parody of The Thing.
- The Human Text (Daran Norris): A man made out of paper, a play on the idea of a person being "a walking dictionary", and a parody of the Human Torch. He can create paper whirlwinds, cause massive paper cuts and can reassemble if he is blown apart.
Trivia[]
- They are a parody of the Fantastic Four, in the same way that Elfa Strike is based on the X-Men.
- A film based on the Fantastic Four starring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis came out earlier in 2005, the year Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y. premiered.
- Faculty 4 was originally intended to be the "Secretary Squad", who were upset that Secretary's day never got much attention. But Cartoon Network didn't think kids would understand office jokes.[1]
