Geppetto is the primary antagonist of the Fables comic series (though briefly replaced by Mister Dark), often going by the alternate name of the Adversary - once a kindly toy-maker (just like the legend) he grew more corrupt after the now human Pinnochio proved to be just as troublesome as he had been as a puppet: going on adventures and leaving his father/creator alone in solitude - unable to cope Geppetto began to create new puppets and every now and then the Blue Fairy would arrive and grant one of them life, she too was hurt by Pinnochio's roguish nature and made sure that Geppetto's new children would be born virtually without freewill, able only to serve their father.
