Biography[]
At the beginning of the film, he and Megamind were sent to Earth as babies, and together they had to face abandonment from society, eventually becoming supervillains and rivals of the famous superhero Metro Man. But it wasn't until Megamind finally defeated Metro Man with the use of copper, allowing him, Minion, and his armies of Brain-Bots to take over Metro City by force, although it later turns out that Metro Man faked his disappearance to retire as a superhero to pursue a career in music.
However, Megamind feels empty after his victory, so he decides to create a new hero by creating a new serum composed of Metro Man's powers and injecting it into a person who would be worthy of using them forever. Of course, Minion secretly doesn't approve of this, but reluctantly goes along. After the serum is accidentally injected into Roxanne Ritchi's cameraman Hal Stewart, Minion (posing as Hal's 'space stepmom') helps Megamind (posing as Hal's 'space dad') train Hal. so that he becomes a hero and uses the powers correctly. . Unaware of Megamind and Minion, Hal (who calls himself Tighten) plans not to use his powers for greater good, but to win Roxanne's heart.
Eventually, Servil's friendship with Megamind came into play when he learned that Megamind had been secretly dating Roxanne under his 'Bernard' guise, so he left him angry, much to Megamind's dismay. Minion is even more upset to hear that Tighten has turned evil and is now using his powers to wreak havoc on Metro City after being rejected by Roxanne. However, Megamind and Minion's friendship was restored when he confronted Megamind in Metro City Prison, where the latter expresses his dear remorse for hurting Minion. Moved by this, Minion accepts Megamind's apology and helps him defeat Tighten and depower him forever before being praised as the new heroes of Metro City.
