Biography[]
In "The Russian Revolution", Joseph Stalin became the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, following the death of Vladimir Lenin. Stalin became a ruthless dictator who built the Soviet Union into a world power, through terror and purges. He was held responsible for ordering the deaths of millions of people. Aside of that, he was a despot, a murderer, and a communist dictator but on the WB, Stalin got his own sitcom called "My Buddy Stalin", where he moved in with Froggo's family and served as a father figure to Froggo in the absence of his real dad and took Froggo to the father-son camping trip. Stalin would also help Froggo by beating up his bullies, having his teacher arrested for giving him a bad grade, and indoctrinating with him his idealism of Communism. At the father-son camp, Stalin proudly told stories about the bad stuff he did and when Charity criticized him, he ordered his army to take her and her father away.
In "Megalomaniacs", Joseph Stalin was sitting on his throne in Russia in 1944 and said that he whenever he feels down in the dumps, he remembers all of the things that make him happy in the form of a feel-good song called "The Sound of Stalin", which exhibited how much he loves running a dictatorial society, conquering other people's land, imprisoning people who disagreed with him or thought freely, spying on his ally Vladimir Lenin, having Leon Trotzky assasinated, feasting on tons of food, while the common Soviets suffered from starvation, and overall, making all of the people in his country suffer. Being a sadistic monster, Joseph Stalin took enjoyment from thinking about the misery of others.
In "World War II", Joseph Stalin was a member of The Freedom League, (which was a stand-in for the Allied Forced) and he helped Winston Churchill, FDR, and some Histeria kids with combatting the Axis Powers. Despite serving as a hero in this episode, there were many obvious gags and not-so-subtle references to the fact that he would later become a villain.
In "Communists!", Joseph Stalin went to the historical agency and demanded to see his agent. When told to wait his turn, Stalin ranted that because he was a famous historical figure, he should get top billing. However, he still had to wait. Stalin beat up and destroyed everybody in line so he could go next. He finally got to see his agent and complained that he needed to improve his image because nobody liked him. However, as Stalin's agent explained, he killed everyone, even his own friends, which is what caused people to hate him. Stalin admitted that maybe he wasn't a saint but at least he made up for what he did by helping The Allied Forces win WWII. The agent told Stalin that he turned all of Eastern Europe into slaves while doing it and created the iron curtain. Stalin cried, thinking that since he was hated by everyone, there was no place for him in society but as his agent explained, there was still one place that people would appreciate him. Stalin got his own exercise show called Sweating With Stalin, where he used his brutal dictatorship and slave-driving to force his victims to exercise, get healthy, and lose weight.
