Biography[]

Ledge was the mastermind behind the events of the Hackerization in Sensible Flats in the self-named episode. He put a strange machine on the top of a rock in the town and anyone who is outside for 3 minutes straight turns into a mutant of The Hacker. In that episode, he makes a facade friendship with the Cybersquad only to Hackerize them later. First Digit by chance as the other three forget to bring him inside, then Matt who arrogantly climbed the mountain before he was ready, and lastly Jackie by tricking her into getting him "necessary" prickly pear juice and then pretending the door was jammed to keep her out. He planned to be praised by the Hacker and have them work together. Because of this, Inez had to learn to climb up a model mountain, and shuts down his machine.

He is later thrown out of the Grim Wreaker by Buzz and Delete, whom Hacker told them to. In his next appearance, he catches the Hacker as a clown on a camera, and posted the picture on the television. He then places a small recorder on Hacker, and teamed up with Buzz and Delete after Hacker fired them. His plan was to steal the Bluebird of Zappiness, that would've been used to heal Motherboard of the virus inflicted on her by Hacker. Hacker is then forced to work with the Cybersquad, especially Inez, and pretty much develops a grudge against him. Ledge does not succeed in getting the Bluebird of Zappiness, and vowed to return, although he never did.

So far he has only appeared in three episodes, with his cameo appearance in Space Waste Odyssey not being that significant, he just joined Hacker's party about defeating Motherboard with trash. Ledge was a rarity in the show, since, unlike Hacker, he had more time to plan his motives, and apparently had committed more harm to the Cybersquad than The Hacker with only a lab of inventions. And that he has a vast knowledge combined with these personality traits. Thus, this makes him the most dangerous villain in the series.

Regardless of his intelligence, though, Ledge isn’t without his weaknesses. His appearance in Hackerized shows that he can be surprisingly overconfident and cocky whenever he thinks his plans will be successful, which would cause him to overlook the smallest details. For instance, he failed to notice that Deke was sleeping in the same building as him and the Cybersquad, even before leaving to see Hacker. When Inez was climbing his machine, he also had so much confidence that she too would get Hackerized that he had little concern over whether she’d actually make it. Once his plan was on the verge of failing, he’d become nervous with surprise because of how close she was to beating the clock. And when Inez disabled the machine, Ledge started making excuses to Hacker to somehow compensate for his failure, which would make him cocky enough to overstep his bounds.
