Ezekiel Rage

Ezekiel Rage was a recurring villain from The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest.

History

Ezekiel Rage was a 34 year old government operative who was involved in a black ops mission in South America. He was betrayed by the government he worked for and his wife and daughter were killed when their car drove off a cliff while being chased by the foreign authorities. He survived the accident but was badly burned.

Years later he would reemerge, clad in a version of the Day of the Dead skeleton costume he was burned in giving him the appearance of a Puritan preacher (his long coat hides the details of the costume) and claiming to be a prophet of the Apocalypse. He had amassed a large following of devoted acolytes and retained his connections in the intelligence community. His new mission in life was to bring about the apocalypse and cleanse the world. In one episode, Ezekiel almost succeeded by placing a powerful nuclear device deep within the Earth. Using Questworld, Johnny was able to go back in time to stop Rage from accomplishing this by stealing the weapon. However, Rage follows Johnny into Questworld and retrieves the nuclear device, but ends up going back into the age of the Dinosaurs, where the nuclear device detonates. His mask was seen in at an excavation site of a crater that was believed to be a result of an asteroid strike. Ezekiel Rage was voiced by Michael Bell.

The Book of Rage

Rage carried with him a large book, the Book of Rage, which he claimed was revelation. As part of his preaching to his enemies he would read from and quote the Book of Rage (using his memorable line, "So sayeth The Book of Rage").

At one point in the series, the contents of the book are visible. All the pages are empty, except for one, containing a picture of his wife and daughter.
