10 South Park Characters You Totally Forgot Existed

Back in season one, Damien was introduced to the school class as the son of Satan, much to everyone's disbelief. But he is a powerful being and quite possibly one of the most evil people to grace South Park. After being picked on by the main boys, he turns Kenny into a duck-billed platypus, before demanding to speak to Jesus. Additionally, he is also able to summon demons, launch fireballs and create whirlwinds.

After his debut episode, Damien was taken out of the main narrative and became a minor character who made frequent appearances, but without any dialogue or purpose. He was also harder to recognise because the animators stopped drawing him with his signature frown.

It's a shame we never saw more of Damien as a prime character because it felt as though his supernatural abilities could have made for an interesting dynamic between the other school boys, particularly in episodes such as the Coon trilogy. But sadly, like so many brief characters with potential, he just faded away and was made a thing of the past.
