Herb Overkill

Herb Overkill is the secondary antagonist in the movie Minions. He is the husband of Scarlet Overkill and an inventor who helps create her various weapons alongside other inventions.

When he married Scarlet, he adopted her surname as he hero-worships her.

Appearance
His appearance could be described as tall, skinny, with very bushy hair. He is very laid-back and never seems to get distressed at anything.

Personality
When Scarlet and the Minions arrive in her castle from Villain-Con, Herb gives his wife a love letter and says it was given from the bird, but when he reads the content for Scarlet, he says it's written by himself. Feeling pleased, Scarlet says that she would like to dig out William Shakespeare to show him "what true writing is".

After Scarlet explains her wish to get Queen Elizabeth II's crown, Herb gives the Minions gear so they can do their mission easier. Later, the minions are in a cozy room, about to sleep, and Scarlet tells them a bedtime story, while Herb runs out happily for cookies and milk.

Also, after the Minions were trapped in a dungeon by Scarlet, he was there and the three minions easily recognizes him as Herb but he claims his name as “Blerb". He then put the trio on torture equipments but they don't get hurt at all. Then, they even begin to fool around and start taking pictures. He then reveals that he was Herb all along when exiting the room, leaving Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, heading to his wife to help with her dress for the coronation ceremony.

During the coronation, a chandelier falls directly onto Scarlet, causing Herb screams and tries to lift up the chandelier to save her, only to reveal that she was alive thanks to her coronation dress. After the capture of Stuart and Bob, Herb aids Scarlet in setting up explosives around them; however, Kevin, who becomes a giant, saves them, so Scarlet decides to fight him and asks Herb to hold Bob's teddy bear. At last, Scarlet is defeated and she tries to escape and takes Herb with her, but they are stopped by Kevin, and they disappear after an explosion in the air.

Herb and Scarlet are both frozen by Gru after trying to escape with the royal crown. Him and his wife are sent to jail, but they break out a year in. Their whereabouts remain unknown.
