Mr. Ross is the main antagonist in Regular Show: The Movie. He was an insane evil volleyball coach/science teacher who wants revenge on Rigby for ruining his volleyball state championship game.

History
Regular Show: The Movie
Mr. Ross was both a volleyball coach and science teacher at West Anderson High School. Unbeknowst to the staff, he had been smuggling plutonium into the science lab. During his job, the school's volleyball team were competing against Riverdale High School in the state championship. Unfortunately, due to Rigby's saxophone intervention (to pay Jablonski back for bullying him a lot), West Anderson lost. Ever since, he held a grudge on Rigby for ruining the game. At the same time, Rigby was failing his science class, and Principal Dean forced him to let Rigby do a last-minute science project to pass. His bad future self was later erased from existence when Rigby, with some encouragement from HIS future self, apologizes to him for ruining the game, thus causing him to not want to do his revenge plan despite the fact that he’s still arrested for the plutonium.

Personality
Ever since he lost the volleyball game because of Rigby's distraction, he became obsessed with having revenge on him by inventing a time machine to travel back in time to prevent his volleyball team's lost. However, when Rigby and Mordecai finished his time machine, due to Rigby's failure in school, he was sent to jail for the plutonium smuggling and the destruction of the science lab.
Years later, he made Mordecai turn on the Rigby to help him defeat the park rangers. However, as soon as the timenado was created, he was a traitorous individual who betrayed Mordecai by threatening to kill his present self, showing that he never cared about his failure to go to college.
