—Mitch Williams |
Mitchell Jared "Mitch" Williams is a recurring character and minor antagonist in Glitch Techs.
He is voiced by Luke Youngblood.
Biography[]
Mitch is an employee at Bailley's local Hinobi game store, and the majority of his appearances throughout the series branch from seeing him work. He spends the majority of his time focused on the job of a Glitch Tech, tasked with the usual duty of capturing Glitches that escaped from faulty Hinobi video game consoles.
He is a veteran Glitch Tech, and is currently the highest-ranking Tech on the community leaderboards. [3] Having worked in the Glitch Tech field for a lengthy period of time, he has solid tactics and skills that allow him the opportunity to conquer high-level challenges.
Prior to his employment at Hinobi, Mitch was a renowned vlogger who would demonstrate his gameplay of various Hinobi video games, offering tips and tricks to his viewers. During this time and through his early days as a Glitch Tech, he was a member of the gamer group, The Furious Four, which comprised of himself and his three siblings, as revealed in the episode "I'm Mitch Williams".
However, as he became obsessed with his duties at Hinobi, he quit vlogging and left the Furious Four altogether to live on his own in favour of being more focused on his job, particularly as a Glitch Tech rather than merely a storefront employee. He refuses to discuss his past with his co-workers, and furthermore, he has claimed his former abode, now solely belonging to his siblings, as "his turf", forbidding any other Techs from attending to matters at the residence.
Personality[]
Mitch is a complete egotist who happily abuses the company's technology to serve his own personal needs and constantly talks down to his coworkers. He also repeatedly used the mind-wipe technology to get food without paying, and once mind-wiped Five because Five beat him in a gaming tournament. Mitch is shown to care more about winning than the victims of Glitch attacks, as seen when Five's friend Casino was infected by a Possessor type Glitch. Despite his antagonistic and selfish demeanor, he has referred to Five as a friend and allowed Ridley to leave Hinobi without a mind-wipe.
Appearance[]
Mitch is a dark-skinned male of medium height with a triangular body type and generally slim build. His hair is a platinum-blonde colour, and is combed in a Pompadour style for the majority of the show, but following "The Real Glitch Techs" and onwards, it has been combed in a slight side-swept dreadlocks style (simplified as per the show's art style). During more casual appearances, he wears a dark blue leather jacket with a large propped collar over his Hinobi jumpsuit.
Throughout his appearances in Season 1 and most of Season 2, his default Glitch Tech Suit is similar to others, being fitted over the white and blue Hinobi jumpsuit. It features augmented protective armor that covers the chest and part of the neck with shoulder pads attached, all of a dark greyish-blue colour with light blue patterns, light blue knee pads, a belt and a thigh holster. His visor is unique with a pink tint as compared to the usual blue-green visors, perhaps as a display of his high status as a veteran Tech. His footwear is also customized, with silver platformed soles.
In the episode "The Real Glitch Techs", his Tier 3 Glitch Tech gear debuts, which displays a significant alteration to his suit. It features protective gear such as shoulder pads and knee pads that are hexagon-shaped and pale blue/grey in colour. The new uniform comes with a jacket that overlaps the form-fitting suit. The jacket has a thick-rimmed white and pale blue collar with slate grey collar supports that connect to it. The jacket is a slightly dull dark blue colour, with a white bottom section that adorns a bold, deep pink Hinobi "H" symbol on the left side only. It is cropped at his ribs, with sleeves that are rolled up to his elbows. His shirt and leggings and is mainly an identical blue to the jacket primarily with a light cyan section on the front that covers his chest and abdomen. His belt has two identical pockets on each side of his waist and a grey buckle. Thin light cyan stripes run down the sides of his legs from the belt pockets and end at the grey platform soles of his footwear, which is similar to his Tier 1 suit. His visor gains minor changes to its shape and colours. It maintains its pink tint, though lighter than the previous, and the ear pads are light cyan and slate grey with white "H" symbols on both sides.
Powers, Abilities, and Equipment[]
Glove: Like all Glitch Techs, Mitch comes with an augmented glove with weaponry designed to contain and capture glitches. It has the following abilities:
- Mind Wipe
- Energy Blasts
- Weapon and Shield Formation
- Portals
Upgrades
- Dash
- Speed Boost
- Overclock: An alteration on the configuration of the gauntlet which greatly augmented the speed of the functions of the gauntlet, giving superspeed to the user, but after 30s of use the gauntlet overheats and stops working for a short period of time, this can be avoided if the overclock is stopped before the time runs out.(Seen in S2 E2 "Ping")
- Shurikens
- "Ridley flame" (mod)(Temporary): Augmented power of the glove glowed in red and orange, had a more powerful Energy blast and could be used to charge the glove and hit the floor to cause a shock wave capable of erase any reducing nearby glitches to their base form.(Seen in S2 E5 "The New Recruit")
- Triple Shot (Temporary): shot 3 explosive capsules.
- Powered VR tech: Mitch has a program that when plugged in a VR System can temporary allow the user to damage glitches.(Seen in S2 E9 "I'm Mitch Williams")
Relationships[]
Miko Kubota[]
Miko naturally doesn't like him due to the tournament incident in Age of Hinobi. She also considered him her enemy at times because he tried to mind wipe her many times even to its full maximum power capacity. Mitch frequently tries to humiliate her when the mission is in process by taking the XP and credit due to him considering her a low level (Noob) on the team along with Five. Even so he recognizes and admits her abilities as a gamer "are off of the chart". However, it is seen that in Season 2, he seems to accept her and her partner as "backup" in difficult missions rather than considering her useless or unworthy of a teammate.
High Five[]
High Five naturally doesn't like him due to the tournament incident in Age of Hinobi. He also considered him his enemy at times because he mind wipes High Five during the events of the tournament. However, Five still admires him to a degree, since Mitch was Five's favourite gamer and streamer. Mitch frequently tries to humiliate him when the mission is in process by taking the XP and credit due to him considering High Five a low level (Noob) on the team along with Miko Kubota. However, it is seen that in Season 2, he seems to accept him and his partner as "backup" in difficult missions rather than considering him useless or unworthy of a teammate.
Phil[]
Mitch doesn't tend to disrespect him due to Phil being the head boss of Hinobi Technology in Bailey.
Zahra[]
She is a member of Mitch's team but tends to dislike Mitch, just like the other Glitch Techs do in Alpha Leader.
Haneesh Jyoshi[]
He is a member of Mitch's team but tends to dislike Mitch, just like the other Glitch Techs do in Alpha Leader.
Casino[]
He was a victim of a Glitch attack when he was infected by a Possessor type Glitch in Smashozaurs. Mitch tried to hurt him due to him being possessed by a glitch, but High Five and Miko interfered by getting in his way by protecting Casino from him. Casino thought of Mitch as an enemy when he was possessed by the glitch, but after being memory wiped later on, the two have not met again.
Ridley[]
When she temporarily joined Glitch Techs, he antagonized with her like he does with all newbies, this causing her anger. Even so after the outbreak of glitches she caused and being fired, he helped her to go out without wiping her memory, because he saw potential in her, though after she hugged him, Mitch threw her into the portal.
His Brothers and Sister[]
He deeply cares for each of them (Audrey Williams , Speck Williams and Ruf Williams), but is both angered and preoccupied of them doing nothing more than playing games. Mitch doesn't live with them and seems to only visit his siblings when they break their gaming equipment or when a Glitch escapes.

- Mitch visibly panics when Miko shrugs off his attempts to erase her memory in Age of Hinobi.
- About the scene where Mitch set his gauntlet’s memory wipe up to 100%, Dan Milano explained that 100% memory wipe may cause severe damage to someone’s mind. But even if Mitch was able to aim 100% memory wipe on Miko, then it still wouldn’t work on her.
