Streaming, formerly known as Internet, was an antagonist in Regular Show.
Biography[]
Internet was recruited by DVD to aid in the second Format Wars against the Laserdisc Guardian and the Guardians of Obsolete Formats. Internet proved to be a merciless and powerful foe during their battle, but when DVD and Laserdisc made amends after finding out they were father and son, Internet destroyed Laserdisc, claiming that all obsolete formats must be destroyed, much to DVD's anger. Internet then revealed that he planned to destroy DVD and all other formats from the beginning due to believing itself to be the greatest format for entertainment. Internet then took control of DVD's DVD soldiers and Wi-Fi mechs. DVD then joined forces with the Guardians and Mordecai, Rigby and Benson in order to stop him. After trying to fend off Internet and giving Benson the code to regain control of DVD's army, they used all their might to destroy the Wi-Fi tower from which Internet controlled his body. With the tower destroyed, Internet was rendered unable to fight and the group celebrated their victory by watching a movie on an unmentioned format with Archie's ghost. However, unbeknownst to them is that they were still being watched by the Internet's severed router head who swore he would return.
True to his words, he evolved into Streaming and took over Planet Nelsen. When the Park Gang arrives, Streaming confronted them, but they escaped with the help of DVD (now upgraded to HD-DVD) and Blu-Ray. However, he followed them to Lolliland and aids Anti-Pops in his fight against the Park Gang. After having his minions merge with him to an more stronger form, he took on the Park Gang and their allies, but is ultimately defeated.
Appearance[]
Streaming's original form, Internet
As the Internet, he is mostly a sentient network of interconnected computers and data that exist only through Wi-Fi servers and thus has no actual physical form, however he has a robotic body which he can control and empower through Wi-Fi servers. The Internet's robot body resembles a black computer with a square black body with red lights and rectangular arms and legs that are detached from its body and float in midair. His head resembles an Internet Wi-Fi router and it is through it that he is able to control his robot body via servers. In his ''Streaming Form'', he resembles Yellow Devil from the Mega Man video games and Shockwave from '' Transformers'' series.
Personality[]
Internet/Streaming is a cold and calculating entity with no concept of mercy or emotions and exists only to crush all those that it deems obsolete or get in his way simply for the "lolz". He has no tolerance for formats that he deems obsolete and appears to take pride in his ability to easily stream poorly compressed media on the web to countless viewers with more efficiency than TV ever did, and as such he views TV as a "dead" format as well. When asked if he had a heart, he merely responded with "404 not found", showing that he is truly devoid of any compassion and only knows cold and unfeeling reason, and will gladly destroy and torment its enemies and allies.
Abilities[]
internet while in combat
Internet is very powerful. The main offensive ability of its robot body is to shoot powerful laser beams out of his cannon-like arms which can disintegrate anything they come in contact with. His main defensive ability is to create a semi-impenetrable firewall around it which resembles an actual wall of fire. Internet's robot body cannot be defeated unless it is cut off from the nearest source of Wi-Fi. However his router/head can function without the aid of his body and still move around independently even after being cut off from Wi-Fi, suggesting that his head can still function with a small connection or that his head has its own built-in Wi-Fi. Aside from these abilities, he has near-limitless data at its disposal and he can stream movies, TV shows, and other forms of media to any computer PC, laptop, and tablet in an instant without much effort. He can also control other devices that may be using Wi-Fi, such as an entire army of DVD droid soldiers and mechs.
When transformed into his current form, Streaming, he becomes more power and can fuse with his minions to make him more powerful.
