Handles Mustache

Handles Mustache (mostly referred to as Headmaster Mustache) is a minor antagonist in Speed Racer: The Next Generation. He is the headmaster of Alpha Academy and a member of the Shadow Committee.

Biography
Sometime in the past, as revealed in “Family Reunion,” Mustache was once a student at the Racer Academy, and was one of the known bullies at the school. He challenges Spritle to a race after Conor startles him and flings his lunch into the air, promptly landing on Mustache (this event never happens in the main timeline, it only happens due to Speed and his friend interfering with the past).

Years later, after graduating from the Racer Academy, he formed his own racing school known as Alpha Academy. It is one of the top racing schools in the country and goes through friendly competition with their competitors (most notably against the Racer Academy).

At some point in his life, he joined the Shadow Committee and had his academy become a testing ground for the hourglass device in a secret lab hidden beneath the school. The school is ultimately destroyed by the Shadow Committee once they severed all ties with Mustache.

He enlists Alpha to destroy the Mach 6 and hurt Speed (per the Committee), which angers Alpha as he is a noble and legitimate racer. After refusing to “cheat” again for him, Mustache takes matters into his own hands and decides to activate the hourglass device inside Alpha’s car, remotely. Alpha disables the device, angering Mustache in the process. He then sees that Lucy was listening in on his plan and kidnaps her. During the chase sequence (as Speed and his friends are there to rescue Lucy), he is contacted by Trixie and is relieved of his duties from the Committee (due to his identity being exposed and failing to destroy the Mach 6). However, in return for his loyalty and partial success on testing the hourglass device, Trixie gives him a head start for him to find a safe space for him to lay low.

Description
Mustache is dressed as a cowboy and has a strong southern accent. It is assumed that he is from Texas.

Mustache is light skinned with a thick darkish blonde mustache (his signature feature). He wears a blazer jacket with a red button down shirt inside and blue jeans. He also has a Texan necklace and a brown cowboy hat.

Trivia

 * He is first seen in season one, with the rest of the Committee members as silhouettes.
 * With the timeline now changed, the Committee doesn't exist at all. Therefore, Mustache is not involved in any organization.
