The Carnival of Doom, also known as the Evil Gang, are a group of villains that make up the antagonists of the franchise and enemies to the Lightning Knights. Their goal is to effectively conquer the world and the universe using the Amulet of Zoar's powers. Lord Fear wishes to accomplish this by conquering one dimension at a time. The second leader, Kilobyte, originally intended to destroy Ace Lightning alone but he later decided to conquer the world, by trapping mankind in the Sixth Dimension and having the creatures of the Sixth Dimension rule the Earth. The villains all have a circus, carnival or freakshow-related element to them.
