He is voiced by Sam Rockwell, who also voices Darwin in Disney's G-Force, Hickory in Trolls World Tour, Guardian Dog in IF, and the titular character in The One and Only Ivan. Rockwell portrays Aidan Wilde in Argylle. In The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday and The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist, he is voiced by Michael Godere.
Appearance[]
Mr Wolf is a tall, slim, handsome-looking grey wolf, with brownish-gray fur, along his chin, down to his neck and stomach, are colored in a much lighter shade of gray. He also possesses a long bushy tail, a pair of pointy ears with the insides being colored in a light gray, defined, sharp-looking black eyebrows, eyes with bright yellow sclera and reddish-brown pupils, and a black nose.
Wolf wore a variety of outfits throughout the whole movie; his usual attire features a casual off-white suit with the blazer revealing a button-up, white long-sleeved collared shirt, a brown belt with a silver, rectangle-shaped buckle, light gray socks, and a pair of light brown dress shoes with black shoelaces.
When disguised as Oliver Poodleton, he dresses in a black fedora hat, thin-framed sunglasses, a suit similar to his main attire, only it includes a waistcoat with three black buttons, a black long-sleeved collared shirt with a purple neck tie, and a pair of white dress shoes with black soles. He also had a thin black mustache.
During stealthy heists, Wolf dons a full-length, black zipped-up latex bodysuit with patches on his shoulders, elbows and knees. When doing a heist with Diane, he received a utility belt.
During Marmalade's attempt to teach The Bad Guys good behavior, Wolf wore two sets of costumes: an old woman' disguise and a sheep onesie with a hood.
During the Charity gala, Wolf dons a large, medium-blue bow tie, a navy-blue suit, a white long-sleeved collared shirt, a black with a silver, rectangular-shaped buckle, gray socks, and black dress shoes.
In prison, he wore a short-sleeved orange prison uniform.
Personality[]
Since Mr. Wolf does not like being seen as a villain, he founded the Good Guys Club to try and do good deeds, despite his team's efforts usually backfiring in some way. He doesn't like it when one of the other members of the Good Guys Club mess up his plans, like when Mr. Snake ate all the chickens from Sunnyside chicken farm. It's been shown in later books that he likes to impress people.
In the film, he always tries to go for a suave, cool gangster attitude and is very laid-back and smooth-talking, even trying, at one point, to win back Diane Foxington's favor by "Clooneying" and seducing her, which doesn't fazed her at all. In spite of his relaxed attitude and savoir-faire, he still has his instances of being somewhat clumsy and even stubborn, while still trying to come off as charming.
Due to the stigma of his kind being associated with the Big Bad Wolf, Mr. Wolf grew up believing his only option in life was villainy, an insecurity he hides deep down behind a nonchalant front, and learned to just enjoy life as a criminal, to the point where he'll intentionally sabotage some of his getaways because the police chase is his favorite part of any heist.
Even as a criminal, however, Wolf was always affable and friendly in his own way, even paying the restaurant he and Snake were at in the beginning, despite having no pragmatic reason to do so and always talking in a laid-back voice.
Since they are his only friends in a world where everyone fears him, he cares deeply for his gang, to the point of seeing them as family and never leaving any one of them behind, not even Snake, who he thought was a traitor. In particular, he is best friends with Mr. Snake, his childhood friend and peer in the book, while, in the movie, theirs is an intergenerational friendship. Wolf serves as a much more cheerful and optimistic foil to his cynical reptile friend and the two often share sarcastic banter.
Wolf is a brilliant strategist and, being as acquainted with them as he is, Wolf knows how to use each gang member's skills when planning his organized heists, with the gang successfully stealing innumerable treasures and money. However, he can sometimes be quick to anger or offense and he lets his anger get the best of him when Foxington insults him and his friends as sloppy, insecure criminals, which gets Wolf to try and steal the Golden Dolphin.
Throughout the film, however, he comes to realize that doing the right thing and being loved rather than feared makes him feel good, to the point where he'll start wagging his tail uncontrollably and his much softer side comes to light, such as when he saves a kitty from a tree with great gentleness and empathy and even adopts the kitten as a friend. By the end, he has becomes a truly selfless person, even taking the fall and turning himself in so that Foxington doesn't lose her position.
Initially, he and Diane Foxington couldn't stand each other, as she despised the Bad Guys for being sloppy criminals who enforce stereotypes she has tried to subvert for years, while Wolf had a grudge towards the fox for insulting him and his gang on TV and wanted to steal the Golden Dolphin in large part as spite towards her. After seeing that, like her, Wolf is insecure about the role society chose for him and wished he was good deep down, Diane, seeing her past self in him, came to trust Wolf much more, encouraging him to turn good. Throughout the fund-raiser gala and after, Wolf and Diane become more and more closer to each other, with Wolf even referring to her as "Diane" instead of "Foxington" like before and their chemistry soon becomes even romantic. By the end, Wolf and Diane are willing to sacrifice all they have for each other's sake.
Biography[]
Books[]
Moe Wolf was born to Vinnie Wolf, a mechanic and criminal, and an unknown mother. During his childhood, his father was often rude and dismissive of Moe. He saved young Snake from bullies at the beginning of high school and soon taught Snake how to discourage bullies himself by threatening them. Soon, Wolf begins to involve Snake in his illegal and reckless activities, from burglary to car theft. At one point, Wolf even introduced Snake to his father, who offered Snake a job. One day, the two discover how much fun it is to be bad when Wolf thrillingly crashes his car around police cars. Eventually, Wolf's father became a more powerful crime leader and he and Snake met Shark and Piranha. Vinnie died of a heart attack during Moe's teenage years and soon after took over his father's business with Snake as his deputy.
Wolf first appears by addressing the audience and referring to how they would fear him because he is a 'big, scary monster'. He then introduces the rest of his gang, who also have extremely bad criminal records. He sits them all down and tells them that he has opened a 'Good Guys Club' for them to do good deeds and prove to the world that they are not scary monsters, despite the others' objections. They first start by rescuing a cat from a tree, but end up scaring it and breaking a couple of dogs out of a dog pound, attracting negative news attention. In book 2, they break into a chicken farm to rescue some chickens, which attracts even more negative attention from a guinea pig named Dr Marmalade, who vows revenge on them.
In the third book, Marmalade lures the gang into the woods and captures them. But then a ninja shows up and defeats the guards, revealing herself to be Agent Fox from the International League of Heroes. Wolf falls in love with her, much to Snake's disdain, and they all flee Marmalade's lair. However, Marmalade unleashes a zombie kitten apocalypse on the world. Fox and the Good Guys find a cure with Grandma Gumbo's help, but realize that the source of the apocalypse is on the moon and must be shut down. So the gang sneaks a spaceship to the moon, while Fox helps fight the Zites.
In space, Wolf and Snake argue about Wolf's feelings for Fox, and Wolf decides to go down to the compartment for the space suit. Then a laser beam fires at the spaceship and Snake cuts the damaged part down to save the others, leaving Wolf behind. Rocket is pulled by a tow beam and Marmalade captures them. Meanwhile, Wolf is stuck outside and his spacesuit is starting to run out of air. But Pirahna appears inside the suit and keeps farting because she eats a lot of burritos on the rocket. Wolf despairs, but comes up with a plan to break in and defeat Marmalade with him. Marmalade passes out from the fart gas Wolf releases from his spacesuit, and Wolf turns off the laser beam causing the zitten apocalypse. But as the gang celebrates, Marmalade reveals himself to be an alien.
In the next book, Wolf and the crew are captured as the alien explains everything. They use an escape pod to get back to Earth, but end up 65 million years in the past surrounded by velociraptors. Wolf, Shark and Snake distract the dinosaurs while Legs and Pirahna repair the portal.

They plan to use the fact that people will be preoccupied with celebration in their homes. During a parade, their vehicle becomes entangled with a cherished Santa Claus balloon, resulting in its unintentional destruction. Consequently, the city's morale plummets to such an extent that Christmas is called off. Worried about the feasibility of their crime, the Bad Guys decide to uplift the spirits of the city. Initially, Webs proposes substituting the balloon with a Santa Claus exoskeleton she has constructed, however, the remaining members of the group object, seeing it excessively menacing in appearance. Alternatively, Wolf proposes the idea of reconstructing the balloon, but, the outcome is unsightly and subsequently abandoned.

Meanwhile, Wolf and Snake will pilfer presents and distribute them to people's residences. Despite the plan's success, Wolf believes that snow is necessary to completely revive people's enthusiasm. To do this, Webs alters a street-side shaved ice machine. However, Wolf, against her instructions, amplifies its power output. The snowfall commences, but rapidly escalates into an ice storm that instills fear and panic throughout the city. The gang admonishes Wolf for his proclivity to exceed reasonable limits, but they pardon him when he confesses that his intention was merely to orchestrate the most exceptional heist for their benefit, rather than seeking to impress them.

Using its microphone, Shark instructs the inhabitants to return to their residences.

Unexpectedly and with a sense of disappointment, they discover gifts from Santa Claus, despite their consistent acts of kindness. Consequently, they initiate the development of a strategy to burglarize Santa's workshop in order to demonstrate their eligibility for the naughty list.
The Bad Guys[]
Having been born a wolf, an animal associated with the stereotype of the villain, Mr. Wolf, feeling forced by society to be just that, started a life as a criminal and formed a gang, the Bad Guys, along with fellow stereotypically evil animals: the cynical safe-cracker Mr. Snake, the cheerful master of disguise Mr. Shark, the psychotic thug Mr. Piranha and the brilliant hacker Mrs. Tarantula or "Webs". The five quickly became as close as a family, as they were one another's best friends in a prejudiced world, and the gang became public enemies number one, leading successful heist after successful heist, in spite of the Police's best attempts, especially in the case of the hot-headed Chief Luggings.
After the successful bank robbery, Mr. Wolf and his friends return to their hideout, which is located in an abandoned building near a sewer pipe. When they arrive at the hideout, the criminals celebrate Wolf's best friend Mr. Snake’s birthday, to the latter's annoyance. Later, the Bad Guys see a report on television and, initially proud to get the attention, they soon becomes insulted when Governor Diane Foxington demeans them as insecure, narcissistic, and sloppy second rate has-beens and that their robberies are only out of anger, denial, and self loathing. Wolf ask the audience what gives Diane the right to insult them like that and turns off the TV in anger.
Determined to prove their worth and go down in criminal history, Wolf convinces his gang to steal the never-stolen Golden Dolphin award right from under everyone's noses, including the award winner: philanthropist guinea pig Professor Marmalade. Using human disguises, the bad guys manage to infiltrate the party held at the museum and they split up to commit the crime of the century.
At the ceremony, Wolf, disguised as Mr. Poodleton, interacts with Foxington for the first time, as he needs a selfie with her so that he can bypass security with her eyes in the picture and the two bond by contemplating a seemingly shapeless sculpture that actually forms a swan when its shadow is seen at a certain angle, signifying that things and people need to be looked at from various points of view. Wolf has his selfie and sneakily steals Diane's ring.
While Wolf starts stealing some objects from the party guests, he accidentally ends up saving an old lady who was almost falling down the stairs and the woman then thanks Mr. Wolf for saving her and calls him a good boy. After the old lady left, Wolf's tail starts wagging and he has a strange feeling of happiness because, for the first time, he felt the warm feeling of having done a good deed and the real love that comes from it.
After the incident, Wolf, Piranha and Snake go after the Golden Dolphin that was kept in the backstage, while Webs sabotages the defense system and, after some misadventures, the Bad Guys finally get the Dolphin and are ready to leave the crime scene. But when they are already close to the exit, Wolf overhears Marmalade's speech on how good it feels to do good and, overwhelmed by his instinctive wagging at the thought, accidentally reveals their identities which ends up catching the attention of the cops.
After a humiliating attempt at escaping, the Bad Guys are finally arrested for attempted theft but before they are sent away to jail, Wolf convinces the governor to give him and his gang a chance to redeem themselves, pandering to a speech she had previously made on how there's good inside of everyone and that "every trash can be turned into something beautiful". Initially doubtful, Diane accepts Mr. Wolf's proposal when Professor Marmalade vouches to redeem the Bad Guys and the gang are put under the rodent's guard, as he makes it his mission to turn them to good by the time he holds his fundraiser Gala.
Inside the police car, Wolf explains to his friends that this was all part of his plan: they'd pretend to be nice guys so the police leave them alone, and they can carry on committing thefts. Wolf's teammates are delighted by his brilliant plot and prepare to start their training in "becoming good". The next day, the villains are taken to the Marmalade Mansion and there they get some lessons on how to be good, starting from sharing food, to helping an old lady (in this case, an annoyed Wolf dressed as one) cross the street and saving a kitten stuck on a tree. The five, however, are so used to their selfish, evil, threatening ways that they fail miserably in all the tests, much to Marmalade's annoyance.
Professor Marmalade then takes the Bad Guys to a testing lab to "heroically" kidnap thousands of guinea pigs, thus using their excellent thieving skills for a good cause. Forced to wear cute, embarrassing pajamas, the Bad Guys manage to infiltrate the lab to release the guinea pigs, but the plan ends up going awry when Snake eats half of them and the situation only got worse when the protesters saw the bad guys trying to get the guinea pigs out of Snake, thinking they were mistreating them.
Later that day, Diane Foxington hears of the disaster at the testing lab and decides to cancel the project and call the chief to arrest the Bad Guys. Wolf tries to smooth things over with the Governor, only for her to tell him off for his unwillingness to change his ways. Finally losing his patience with her, Wolf tells her off in return by angrily voicing his insecurities, as he doubts anyone (even Diane herself) would believe or even understand them even if they did change their ways. Having now gained Diane's sympathy (as she knows how he feels), she encourages him to become a good person so as to find a better life for himself and his friends but tells him not to do it for them, but do it for himself, while also telling him they're not so different and shows it by stealing back her ring from under Wolf's nose, showing that she truly does understand him, but confused on how she did it.
Contemplating Diane's words, Wolf then goes back to Marmalade's garden and sees the kitten stuck on the same tree again. Wolfs climbs up the tree to attempt to save the cat a second time and, this time, approaches it much more gently, talks to it to how he understands how its scared of him and tells it how he's not so different as he likes getter scratched on the ears too like cats do, he talks it into trusting him and successfully brings the kitten back down to safety. Unwittingly to him, Marmalade was hiding in the bushes and filming Wolf's first true good deed, which he then posts online.
After the video was released, everyone in town started to like the Bad Guys and now considers them heroes. Marmalade then tells Mr. Wolf that at some point in his life, he'll have to choose between his friends or the good life, which Snake overhears. That night Wolf, still cuddling with the kitten, starts to rethink what the world would be like if no one was afraid of him and his friends, but Snake is having none of Wolf's "impossible" hypothetics, as he claims that the world will always see them as bad guys.
A few days later, the gang is invited to Marmalade's charity fundraising party and Mr. Wolf hatches a plan to steal the Golden Dolphin again. There, Wolf meets Foxington once again and, when Mr. Pirahna starts the "Good Tonight" musical number so as to distract everyone from Snake trying to steal a code, Wolf and Diane start dancing together and have the time of their life, while the Bad Guys' performance gets the Gala to almost a billion dollars. The Bad Guys manage to implant some gadgets in the switches to make the lights turn off automatically, granting Wolf time to switch the Dolphin with a fake, but Mr. Wolf doesn't go through with it because he didn't want to be a bad guy anymore and was also starting to fall in love with Diane.
Suddenly, the lights go out anyway and the Love Meteor, the symbol of the city, has disappeared. Everyone glares at the Bad Guys for the theft thus having their video mysteriously hacked to make people think they really did steal it and, after he gives Diane the coordinates of their hideout in a last attempt at redemption, Wolf and his friends try to escape, but after an ill-thought out attempt from Piranha, they end up being arrested once again. Inside the police car, the Professor enters to talk to the Bad Guys, seemingly to talk some sense into them one last time, but the real bad guy is revealed: Marmalade confesses that he was the one who stole the meteor and that he was using Mr. Wolf the whole time by saying, "You're such a good boy." (which also made Wolf realized that the old lady he helped earlier was actually him in disguise and said the same line). He set up Wolf and his friends to be a distraction and then humiliate themselves, thus taking the blame for his crime, and manipulating Wolf’s friends to turn on him (mostly Snake).
In a fit of rage after finding out Marmalade had been using him and his friends, Wolf tries to attack Professor Marmalade for his lies and betrayal, but that's when Marmalade opens the door in front of the entire city, making them look even more evil and ferocious and faking that Wolf was attacking him for no reason. He and his companions are taken to jail outside the city, while Diane is confused by this entire, contradictory situation, especially with Marmalade's suspicious behavior after being attacked, after seeing that the coordinates Wolf gave him were true and that Marmalade framed them.
Inside the jail, Mr. Wolf confesses that he's tired of people mistreating him and running away from him just because they brand him by the stereotypes of being a wolf and that he doesn't want to be a bad guy anymore, to his teammates bewilderment, especially Snake's. The reptile foolishly refuses redemption and gets into a heated argument with Wolf, who, utterly frustrated, even goes as far as to yell that his friends are a burden to him for having a better chance in life, leaving everyone (especially Snake) completely heartbroken and speechless. But instead provoked, the two get into a fight, but this does not last long as a famous criminal, the Crimson Paw, manages to infiltrate the jail, take out all the nearby officers and release the Bad Guys, while also revealing herself to be Diane, who knows that Marmalade framed them and lied to them.
Diane then takes the bad guys back to the mainland, planning to stop Marmalade, and Wolf decides to help her, but Snake and the rest of the gang reluctantly, but selfishly parts ways with Mr. Wolf because of what happened at the dance and the prison, since they felt betrayed by him for his redemption (as well as Snake revealing why he hates birthdays). A devastated Wolf and Diane head to her house as Diane comforts Wolf and tells him the reason why she gave up crime a long time ago and how he's doing the right thing and says that his friends might understand.
As they go in the house and into her secret lair to see the villainous guinea pig's plan: he will use the meteor's powerful wavelengths to brainwash all the guinea pigs the Bad Guys had released and use them to steal all the money the Gala had garnered. The two canines go to Marmalade's house to retrieve the meteor. Before doing so, Mr. Wolf pays a visit to the Bad Guys hideout, where Diane has taken away all their stolen loot, and leaves a single push-pop. While the others lament their losses, Snake cheers up Shark by giving him the push-pop, the first selfless act in his life. This convinces Piranha, Shark and Webs that redemption isn't that out of reach and they all feel the warmth of good, thinking that Wolf was right after all, but Snake furiously refuses and leaves, not before yelling, "We'll...always...be...BAD GUYS!". Wolf and Diane both arrive at Marmalade’s manor, but Wolf ends up falling into the Golden Dolphin trap, which gets them both captured, as Marmalade hangs them from the ceiling.
Mr. Wolf finds out that Mr. Snake now works for Professor Marmalade, having told him that Wolf and Diane were coming and the two villains leave to carry out their evil plan. With the help of Wolf’s friends, who now understand redemption as they make amends with him, Diane and Wolf manage to escape the mansion (but not before saving the kitten one last time) and manage to steal the meteor. The wolf's plan was to return the meteor to the police, but first they had to get Mr. Snake, even if he was a traitor.
Marmalade betrays Snake and cowardly threatens to throw Snake off his helicopter if Mr. Wolf does not return the meteor, but Wolf tries to ensure the Professor goes through with the deal by using Diane's lipstick blowtorch, threatening to cut the chain if he doesn't hand over Snake. However, despite the no win situation the rodent just kicks Snake off so he can take the meteor while the Bad Guys are busy saving him. Wolf leaps off the crater with his car and throws himself to save his best friend, and Snake makes amends with him, the two hugging each other mid-air. While everyone else in the gang is ready to die with each other, Wolf pulls out his grappling hook and saves all his friends from the fall.
Nevertheless, people still thoughtlessly believe the Bad Guys are still evil, but Diane tries to defend them and is even ready to reveal her secret identity. Wolf, however, decides to protect Foxington's political career and turns himself in, his teammates following suite. It looks like Marmalade, still believed to be a good guy that took the meteor back from the thieves, is getting off scot-free, but Snake reveals that he had a change of heart from the very start like the others all along and was never on Marmalade’s side. The snake tricked him into believing he’s still evil in order to get close to him.
He actually switched the meteor with a lamp while leaving the real one at Marmalade’s mansion, referred to as "the ol’ switcheroo" and started overloading it, causing the meteor to explode and destroy the manor, having Marmalade completely outsmarted while the fake meteor falls on him the Zumpango diamond Diane stole in her criminal career falls out of the Professor's pocket as he gets himself framed as the Crimson Paw, making everyone finally see that Marmalade is the real criminal and fraud, leaving him with a tarnished reputation as he is arrested.
As the group was sent to prison, Wolf reveals that he put the push pop in the fridge before their stolen items were taken to show that the gang had good in them and make them realize they should help others, leaving the snake dumbfounded, speechless and mortified by his trick and the rest amused and delighted by the stunt.
A year later, Wolf and his gang were released from jail for good behavior, and they return to town with the help of Diane Foxington (who is probably now a member of the newly reformed good guy team, or sponsor for the group) picking them up as they ride off in the distance back to the city to begin their new life as crime-fighting heroes known as Good Guys.
