Dexter's Laboratory 1.06

1. Dee Dee's Room

Dexter suits up and sneaks into his sister's room to retrieve a missing tool which he suspects she took.

2. Dial M for Monkey: Huntor

Momkey is captured by Huntor, the galaxy's greatest hunter, and forced to face off against Huntor. He tries to decline the offer but Huntor has captured Agent Honeydew and threatens to kill her if Monkey does not agree to participate in the competition.

Dee Dee appears briefly in the beginning of this episode but Dexter does not.

There are numerous trophies in Huntor's collection, the heads of foes he has defeated. Among them are the heads of people who resemble Deathlok and Wolverine.

Monkey attempts to use heat vision and a sonic voice attack on Huntor but both super powers are countered by Huntor's high powered weapons. Huntor uses a Monkey Emissions Sensor (MES) to track Monkey.

This episode and the character of Huntor remind me of an episode of Samurai Jack (2.09 - Jack and the Hunters). Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack were both created by Genndy Tartakovsky. This episode is also similar to an episode Batman Beyond (2.06 - Bloodsport).

3. Big Sister

Dexter makes chocolate chip cookies for an experiment. They are only supposed to be eaten by his lab rats but Dee Dee tricks Dexter into giving her one. She grows to be hundreds of feet tall and wrecks havoc in the city. Dexter pilots a giant robot in an attempt to subdue his big sister.
