Description So I wanted for the last batch to complete the "family" that consists of the cannon Gigantitan (August) and my fannon Monster Mama (Julie)and Rad Dad (Finn).

So how do you akumatize one, if not the most heroic, righteous and selfless character. Well simple, make their blood boil from a character they despise. Luckily Finn has his father for that. okay, I'm exaggerating a bit, Finn used to despise his father, but after Martin's last appearance on Adventure Time, Finn was just kinda "meh" and kinda accepted he had a ass for a father. However when Father's Day comes to Townsville, Finn can't help but feel at least a bit jealous or angry for not having a caring and supporting father, whatever he felt at that moment was enough for Hawk Moth to summon his Akuma.

Rad Dad is a bit of a mixture between The Bubbler and Monster Mama. I didn't want to rehash Julie's Akuma, so I went in a different direction. When akumatized Finn doesnt turn into an overprotective "father" to his friends, like how Julie did, but rather Rad Dad is just what you would expect when you hear the name. he is one of those super laid-back, kind of cringey, party dads that in stead of being a parent are more like a second child. BTW, I first planned to have the Akuma land on Finn's hat, but then I reconsidered and decided for it to land on his robotic arm, which I still sometimes forget to draw. I thought the robo-arm was the better choice considering his powers, which you'll read about in a second, but also because technically Finn lost his arm because of Martin. As for his design; Rad Dad takes the same colors scheme Gigantitan and Monster Mama had to keep the family together. The cap Finn wears, turns into a hat that I wouldn't mind having, which Rad Dad has put on sideways. Also if cartoons have taught me anything, dads wear ties, even if they are unemployed like Richard from The Amazing World of Gumball, oh and a watch. In stead of a mask, I put these sick shades on him .  Lastly, and probably most important, I decided to have Rad Dad's suit stick out in the air from the shoulders, just like Martin's outfit does, symbolism and crap.

Rad Dad's powers are a bit similar to Guitar Villain's. Whenever he fist-pumps the air, everyone around starts to dance uncontrollably, until they fall on the floor from lack of energy. Also thought of him having something to defend himself with, so I thought "Why not have him shoot projectile footballs from his hand.", 'cause you know, a father's cliche is that they always play sports with their children. Also, Finn is the only Akuma that keeps his powers upon akumatization. Unlike Ben, for example, who can't use the Ultimatrix upon turning into Three-Faced, Finn keeps all the functions of the cyborg arm PB built for him even after turning into Rad Dad.

Some stupid quotes I can think of:
Okay, in stead of putting a shit load of dad jokes in here, because you can be sure that Rad Dad will be full of them, here's a little conversation that I came up with.

*Ladybug shows up "So what do we have today, kitten?"
*Chat points to Rad Dad "That guy. He's probably mad because his father didn't let him to go to a party or something."
RD: "I have you know, my father is much worse than that."
CN:"Oh yeah? Bet your father isn't as bad as mine. I barely see him around because he's always so busy and when I do, he's always so cold to me."
RD:"I don't know about your dad, but I met mine when I was 15 as I was breaking him out of a multi-universe prison only for him to leave me for dead afterwards."
*Ladybug leans in to Chat and whispers "What's wrong with these people?!"

Did one a while ago in my sketchbook, but unfortunately, the thing is back at home, so I can't show it to you. Sorry.

As to answer Ladybug's question.... A lot. She's lucky she hasn't heard about Eddy's brother...
