Ivan Bruel is a major character from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. In the episode "Penalteam", he received the Ox Miraculous, which, when inhabited by the kwami Stompp, can transform him into Minotaurox, a ox-themed superhero.
He was voiced by Matt Mercer for Season 1 and later currently Max Mittelman (who also voices Plagg) for Seasons 2 onward.
Appearance[]
Physical appearance[]
Ivan is large and bulky with dark gray eyes. His hair is short and black, except for a tuft of long, dyed blonde hair above his forehead.
Civilian attire[]
He wears a black t-shirt with a white design of two crossing bones printed on the chest. He also wears black slacks with large belt loops and large pockets, along with white socks and light golden work boots.
As Minotaurox[]
As Minotaurox, Ivan retains his short black hair with a small tuft of blonde hair at the front. His gray eyes are covered by two navy, crescent ovals forming a sort of mask. Minotaurox has two large horns on either side of his head. He wears a navy blue outfit with a gold ring on his chest.
Personality[]
Ivan is a tough guy with a tender heart. He often appears grouchy and stubborn, particularly around situations he isn't interested in, like while being held captive at the Bubbler's party in "The Bubbler", but he also can sometimes be openly enthusiastic and expressive, cheering for Alix to beat Kim in "TimeBreaker". The only person so far that he has shown a lot of warmth towards is Mylène.
Although, he is willing to help others in dangerous or bad situations, like when he fought off Zombizou's zombies so that the rest could escape.
He gets angry when he or his friends are unfairly treated or teased, sometimes standing up towards the culprit—even occasionally willing to physically fight back—and other times quietly moping about it. On the other hand, when people are kind and patient with him, he is able to open up about his inner feelings and listen to their advice.
According to Nino and Marinette in "Party Crasher", Ivan is known to be very honest to the point of being a terrible liar.
As Minotaurox, Ivan has more confidence in himself, specially when it comes using his own power without being afraid of hurting others.
As Stoneheart, he is extremely aggressive and furious, his enemies, including Kim and Chloé, being the ones he is the most furious at. He still loves Mylène, but his reasoning has been clouded when it comes to her and he believes that Hawk Moth will bring the two together forever.
Powers and Abilities[]
As a civilian[]
Ivan is able to write down and create song lyrics, but his singing is loud and terrifying. He is also shown to destroy a phone by stomping on it once.
As Minotaurox[]
With the Ox Miraculous, Ivan gains enhanced physical abilities, such as endurance, speed and strength, he also has an unbreakable hammer that is omni-purposed whether for combat or communication, and his Miraculous Superpower is called Resistance, giving him the ability to be immune to any abilities, whether physical or magical, therefore making him invulnerable. However, once this superpower is used, Ivan will transform back around after about five minutes have elapsed. However, if he can overcome this failsafe through sheer willpower, as Ladybug and Cat Noir demonstrated in "Revolution", he can stay transformed as Minotaurox indefinitely and use Resistance repeatedly without needing to revert back to recuperate.
Even if Minotaurox willingly subjects himself to his opponent's attack, he will not be harmed as long as the power is active.
Resistance will even make Minotaurox impervious to the Cataclysm, a very impressive feat as even Shell-ter, a power born from the concept of Protection, was broken through by the Cataclysm in only a single hit.
Weaknesses[]
Resistance does not actually make Minotaurox invincible. It cannot protect him against indirect attacks and/or external circumstances, such as a large object falling on top of him as a result of a chain reaction
if Minotaurox already has the power activated and then puts on or holds an object, the object in question won't be protected by Resistance. While Minotaurox can’t be attacked by other powers while using Resistance, he can be restrained.
Biography[]
Season 1[]
In "Ladybug & Cat Noir (Origins - Part 1)", he is corrupted by Hawk Moth into Stoneheart, a super villainous rock monster.
Season 2[]
Miraculous Shanghai[]
Season 3[]
Miraculous New York[]
Season 4[]
In "Penalteam", Ladybug gives Ivan the Ox Miraculous in order to help defeat Chloé. He meets the kwami Stompp, the ox kwami, and transforms into Minotaurox for the first time.
Season 5[]
In "Jubilation", Minotaurox is among the superheroes attending Ladybug and Cat Noir's wedding in the dream caused by Gift/Jubilation when they are fighting Darker Owl in reality.
In "Determination", to try and help restore morale to Paris because of losing Minotaurox and the other heroes, Grevin Museum curator Veronique has a wax figurine of Minotaurox made, alongside those of the rest of the team, in hopes of helping to boost hope. When Mayor Bourgeois, under Chloe's influence again, refuses to let the figures be displayed, Veronique is Akumatized by Monarch into Manipula, bringing the wax figures of Minotaurox and the others to life to try and make Manipula look like a hero by bringing the team back. The wax figure of Minotaurox goes with the Ladybug and Cat Noir wax figures to City Hall with Manipula to hold Mayor Bourgeois and Chloe hostage, and when Manipula overpowers the real Ladybug and Cat Noir, it also hold Cat Noir hostage as well. However, Ladybug is able to overpower Manipula, incapacitate her, and recover the Megakuma, purify it, and return all the wax figures back to the museum unharmed and inanimate again, even if there's some confusion about if the Minotaurox figure was also defeated first since it carried part of the Megakuma as well like the other figures did.
In the season finale, "The Final Day", Ivan is among the victims of Operation Perfect Alliance as he is turned into a Miraculized soldier to hunt down Ladybug and Cat Noir. It takes the effort of the rest of the Resistance to keep him pinned down until they could remove and destroy his Alliance Ring to free him, but he was still suffering the nightmares granted to him by Nightormentor until the Resistance calm him down and assure him they are there for him and won't abandon him. He then joins the Resistance as they fight against the Miraculized as part of Monarch's endgame, joined by Grandmaster Su-Han and the Guardians, the United Heroez, and Ladydragon, but it is a losing fight as the Miraculized keep coming. It is only, as shown in "Miraculous World London", when Ladybug uses her Miraculous Ladybug to undo all the damage, that Ivan and everyone else are saved as the Miraculized are returned to normal. He later learns that Gabriel Agreste sacrificed himself to end the threat of Monarch for good. After Marinette restores the Miraculous to their original forms, she entrusts Stompp to Ivan permanently, allowing Ivan to become Minotaurox again and join the rest of the restored French Miraculous Superhero Team to prepare for whatever threats come from the new Hawk Moth in Lila Rossi/Cerise Bianca.
