Kinga Clayton Forrester is the new "Mad" in Joel Hodgson's revival season of MST3K. She appeared (in character) in the video accompanying the Kickstarter campaign's eighth update portrayed by Felicia Day. She is shown to be in control by the way she bosses everyone around, including Joel and new host, Jonah Heston (who she refers to as a "big stack of flapjacks").
Kinga is the daughter of Dr. Clayton Forrester and the granddaughter of Pearl Forrester.[1] She is in command of Moon 13, a research station on the dark side of the Moon that serves as their lair. Her main assistant is TV's Son of TV's Frank (otherwise known as Max), and she is also occasionally aided by Synthia, a clone of her grandmother Pearl. She also controls a team of minions known as the Skeleton Crew, making her at least more effective in attracting followers than her forebears. She appears to be a chemist (developing "Kinga-Chrome Liquid Television", a liquid capable of delivering awful movies), as opposed to her father, an engineer. She likely attended Gizmonic Institute, because she almost always greets Jonah with an Invention exchange, a traditional Gizmonic greeting.
Kinga's main motivation for her evil experiments seems to be focused on the profits she can stand to make. In addition to resuming her father's work in hopes of selling the show to Disney, she has also dabbled in multiple money-making ventures and has been known to cajole investors into putting money towards her work. However, she has yet to see any sort of monetary success from her actions.
Behind the scenes
- Felicia Day has apparently been a fan of the show since she was young and saw Joel Hodgson at a convention and "went up to get a picture with him because I wanted to rub it in my brother Ryon's face". This encounter inspired Joel to ask her to join the show. [2]
- In developing the character, Joel Hodgson stated that the character needed to be able to be "both comedic and threatening... and if possible, both at the same time", "formidable woman in the Forrester family line", needed to have red hair since he "always felt the Forrester clan were from Scandinavian backgrounds" and "should be someone who could be threatening, and could have moments of true irrational rage". Joel met Felicia at the Salt Lake ComicCon and made an inquiry via Twitter as to whether she would be interested in joining the show. Her answer was, Yes pleassssssssss@sse".[3]
- According to Joel Hodgson, the inspiration for Kinga came from the Dragon Queen character from the 1975 Chinese superhero movie Infra-Man, combined with Lucille Ball.[4] Joel also stated that it has not been determined who Kinga's mother is, but the show is prepared to explore the question in future seasons (if they happen).
