| “ | This all started with my latest invention: the Universe Portal Machine. It's a device that lets us travel to other worlds. Professor Calamitous has somehow gained access to my project plans and created a copy of my machine. I've been tracking Calamitous' portals, and he's been visiting your worlds. He's found an ally in each world, and they've teamed up to form a syndicate! He must have some sort of master plan that they can all benefit from! They've combined their powers to create an army of syndicate troops, and they're stealing energy from each of your worlds! We don't know why they're stealing this energy, but whatever it's for, it won't be good! | „ |
| ~ Jimmy Neutron explaining the formation of the Evil Syndicate. |
The Evil Syndicate (or just The Syndicate) are the main antagonists of the crossover video games Nicktoons Unite! and Nicktoons: Globs of Doom.
It is an evil organization founded by Professor Calamitous, composed of the evilest villains from the Nicktoons universe, intent on conquering all worlds and destroying their respective enemies.
Story[]
Formation and first plan[]
The Syndicate was formed after Professor Finbarr Calamitous stole the blueprints of an inter-dimensional portal from his enemy Jimmy Neutron through a flea-bot on the brain of his robot dog Goddard. He used the portal to get access to different worlds and drain their energy with the help of each world's villain. Neutron then assembled the world's heroes (already knowing Crocker's enemy, Timmy Turner, from a previous incident) to fight the Syndicate and stop their draining. As they progressed through Amity Park, Bikini Bottom and the Fairy World, the group learned about the Syndicate's true plan: a Doomsday Machine with enough energy to destroy a whole world in seconds. Once the villains were defeated, Calamitous called them back to attack the heroes all at once. But even with the machine's defense system at full power, the group managed to defeat the Syndicate and shut the machine in time, sending their villains (each one trapped somehow) back to their home worlds.
The Second Syndicate[]
After Calamitous decided to follow other projects for world domination, another set of villains decided to take over the Syndicate. The new group was apparently leaded by Plankton, being the only remaining member from the original group (though Technus acted more like a leader, so this is debatable, unless Technus acted as merely a voice of reason), while the other members included Ghost Zone resident Technus, Calamitous' daughter Beautiful Gorgeous, and Pupununu (from Tak and the Power of Juju, the newest sector of the Syndicate) sorcerer Traloc. During the Morphoids' attack, the heroes decided to join forces with the Syndicate, Invader Zim and Dib also willing to help, though Dib volunteers to aid the Syndicate. Their combined might, along with a ship named the "Vessel of Portentia", is enough to stun the Morphoids' leader, Globulous Maximus. However, the villains kick the heroes out of the ship, planning to use Globulous for their own evil ends. However, Globulous changes sides and a battle ensues between the heroes and villains. If the heroes and Globulous win (which occurs by default in single player), the villains are left in the vacuum of space, swearing revenge. If the villains win (which may occur if the final battle is played in multiplayer on an incomplete file), they succeed in capturing Globulous in a jar.

Trivia[]
- Out of all the members of the Evil Syndicate, Dib Membrane is so far the only one to not be evil by nature at all, as well as not an actual villain. While he is technically the main antagonist of Invader Zim and has his own selfish desires, he is just doing whatever he feels is necessary to protect and save the Earth from Zim's schemes. If this is anything to go by, Zim should be a member of the Evil Syndicate instead of Dib despite being the protagonist of his show.
- It is unknown if Walker was affiliated with the Syndicate or was working for Vlad alone as Walker seemed of having no problem with Vlad banishing the heroes into the Ghost Zone Prison.
- Plankton's robot crab makes a cameo in Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island. It was one of the items that fell onto the island due to The Mawgu, SpongeBob and Danny even recognize it and remember how they beat Plankton when he used it.
