Professor Flux

Professor Flux is a villain in Minions.

Appearance
Professor Flux is bald and bearded, and his head is gourd-like. He dresses in a labcoat with black troussers, black shoes, and a pair of black gloves.

Minions
He is an attendee in Villain-Con, and he appears with the time machine he invented.

When Bob sees Professor Flux's stall and ask him if the Minion trio can be his henchmen, he declines as he can call for his future avatars as his assistants instead. However, one of the avatars pushes a hanging machine and accidentally breaks the Original Professor Flux’s neck, who was monitoring some machines, killing him. Soon after his untimely demise, all his future avatars vanished from existence in a flash. Seeing this, Bob leaves the stall disappointed.

Minions Paradise
Professor Flux is also a unlockable and playable villain in Minions Paradise.

At the update in March 2016, Professor Flux acts as a main character in the new game feature, master plan. Instead of being at Villain Island, he moves to Villain Lair and the player can help him for his master plan and earn Minion Level-up tokens and prizes.

Before the update, Professor Flux has a sticker of his collection: Time Machine, but if he doesn't unlocked before, he won't be included in the Stickerbook.
