Eek Stack Ik Ik is the leader of the Butterflies who possessed Senator Royland Goff until she was abducted by Christopher Smith and briefly kept as pet. She then escaped and took Sophie Song as a new host. Her plans were later foiled and all of her forces were killed along with the cow and Peacemaker killed Sophie’s body, leaving the queen to later return to Smith's home for food to survive.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
- "Our kind traveled here from a planet that had become unlivable. Your planet had the habitat we needed, water to drink, and air to breathe. Your food couldn't sustain us, but that's why we brought her. The cow would help the last of our people survive for another hundred years."
- ―Eek Stack Ik Ik to Peacemaker[src]
As the Queen of the Butterflies, Eek Stack Ik Ik came to Earth with the rest of her subdites seeking a new home when their native planet was dying, initially the Butterflies only wanted to live among humans without causing trouble until Eek Stack Ik Ik decided to change plans when she learned that humans were on the same self-destructive path that costed the Butterflies their native planet. Butterflies started possessing humans in positions of political power, with Eek Stack Ik Ik herself taking the body of Royland Goff. Only Ik Nobe Llok opposed Eek Stack Ik Ik's plans for world domination even if it was for a noble cause. Eek Stack Ik Ik approached Judomaster and convinced him of the Butterflies' cause of stopping human society from destroying themselves, Judomaster was appointed to be Royland Goff's bodyguard so he could protect Eek Stack Ik Ik.[1]

With Peacemaker and Vigilante kidnapped in their cave, Goff interrupted the argument between Peacemaker and Judomaster, realizing that Smith was the alpha between him and Chase, so he implanted two wires in Vigilante's testicles to make an electrical device to torture him. Fearing that more people might know about them, Ik Ik ordered Judomaster to travel to the Glan Tai Bottling Company to inform the rest of the Butterflies.

Snatching Vigilante's mask, Ik Ik wanted to know how they knew about them, but Smith refused to confess, so he electrocuted Chase's testicles to get that information, although Smith continued to refuse, Goff to continue electrocuting Chase, even though he was suffering from seeing his friend being tortured. Realizing that he couldn't make him talk, Goff threatened to cut off Vigilante's pinky foot as it would be more permanent, upsetting Peacemaker because the torture was only for him, with Goff acknowledging his human empathy, but Smith didn't care his threat.
Goff is defeated by Peacemaker
Ik Ik went to Vigilante to cut off his pinky, cutting off half of it, as his finger was hard until an explosion in the Goff Residence room reached the cave, causing Smith to be freed, and Ik Ik fought Smith, trying to kill him with his scissors without success. Goff continued the fight with him, receiving several objects from Smith which didn't harm her, and he was tied up by Smith to restrain her. Enraged, Goff screamed at Smith, before he shot her body with the shotgun.

To get Smith's help, Ik Ik made a peace symbol out of the honey-esque food in the jar to show her intentions, surprising them. The butterfly was brought to Smith's table to be questioned about the symbol, hearing that she was to give one tap if the answer was yes and two taps if it was a no.

Ik Ik confirmed that it was a symbol of peace, but she denied most of the questions because they were adapted from movies. They were interrupted when Christopher Smith's trailer was raided by the Evergreen Police Department, so Ik Ik was tied to Chase's waist to escape with the duo and Eagly. When Chase accidentally fell to the ground, she was able to escape the jar, flying towards Officer Sophie Song, taking control of her body, while Smith and Chase fled.
"Song" and Fitzgibbon discover Locke's deception
In Song's body, Ik Ik observed Larry Fitzgibbon, and asked Smith's location, and since he did not know, Ik Ik went to look for him, finding Caspar Locke among dead police officers, listening to him lie about the person responsible being a character from McDonald's.

Eek Stack Ik Ik during the police speech
Since Peacemaker could help them transport the Cow, Ik Ik found Smith's fake diary, ordering Locke's butterfly to frame Peacemaker to capture him, and meet him again for help. Through the news, the Butterflies pretending to be the police, announced that Peacemaker was responsible for Annie Sturphausen’s death, requesting an arrest warrant against him. Locke affirmed that purity was close to dignity, moving his hips, and as the situation became awkward, Song interrupted him, stating that they had to go.[5]

Before they left, they discovered Murn was actually Ik Nobe Llok, stopping him and commenting on how he should have joined them before crushing him in her hands, shocking the other butterflies before leaving to ready the teleporation device for the cow.[6]

Along with the butterflies of Caspar Locke and Larry Fitzgibbon, Eek Stack Ik Ik watched the Cow as she was milked for the necessary amber fluid.[6]
Eek Stack Ik Ik orders to prepare the Cow faster
During the preparation, Eek Stack Ik Ik spoke with Locke's butterfly about how they had everything ready to send the Cow to their base in the east at night, and ordered that they not take long to teleport the Cow to the assuming that the 11th Street Kids would arrive to stop them, worrying that if they confronted them and killed the Cow, their species would become extinct, leaving Locke to continue working.[1]
Battle at Coverdale Ranch[]
Eek Stack Ik Ik is worried about the Cow
- "Be the Peacemaker. Join us in saving your planet. What do you say?"
"Activate Human Torpedo." - ―Eek Stack Ik Ik and Peacemaker[src]
As they worked on setting up the teleportation device, Eek Stack Ik Ik and the butterflies were alerted by John Economos, who had infiltrated them and had planted of Peacemaker's helmets near the Cow. Before the butterflies kill Economos, the helmet shot out a number of sonic booms, causing damage to the farm and killing several butterflies. Horrified, Eek Stack Ik Ik rushed towards the damaged farm to check on the cow.
Eek Stack Ik Ik fights with Peacemaker
Shortly after, Eek Stack Ik Ik noticed someone underground under rubble. Eek Stack Ik Ik fished him out and discovered it was Peacemaker. After a brief fight that was briefly interrupted by Leota Adebayo knocking herself out with the human torpedo helmet, Eek Stack Ik Ik invited Chris to help them teleport the cow to another base in Maine. Eek Stack Ik Ik explained to Chris that their planet was on the verge of destruction so they abandoned it to survive, finding themselves on Earth.
Eek Stack Ik Ik reveals the truth to Peacemaker
The food on Earth was unsustainable to them so they brought with them the cow for sustenance. However, Eek Stack Ik Ik realized the humans were also making the same decisions that led to their home planet getting destroyed and sought to take over humans in influential positions to determine the right choices to preserve Earth and its inhabitants, although Ik Nobe Llok disagreed with her methods.
Eek Stack Ik Ik flies out of Sophie Song's body
Eek Stack Ik Ik pleaded with Chris to help them save Earth by helping them, in the name of peace. Chris, in response, triggered the human torpedo shooting Adebayo directly into the Cow, killing it. Chris quickly took Sophie's pistol and killed both Locke and Sophie's bodies. As Chris walked away with Adebayo, he noticed Eek Stack Ik Ik leaving Sophie's corpse but opted to spare her again.[1]
Back to Normal[]
Eek Stack Ik Ik is feed by Peacemaker for the last time
With the cow dead and her plans foiled, Eek Stack Ik Ik left the Coverdale Ranch and returned to Christopher Smith's residence for the last drops of the amber fluid essentially making it her last meal, with Smith compassionately agreeing to feed her with the fluid when Eagly brought a dead opossum.[1]
Personality[]
- "We made a vow to make the choices for you that you were incapable of making on your own, to save your people and your world, no matter how many lives it cost us. Murn disagreed with our methods. He didn't think we had the right to impose our will. But you're one of us, Christopher Smith."
- ―Eek Stack Ik Ik to Peacemaker[src]
According to Clemson Murn, Eek Stack Ik Ik was once a benevolent leader who only wanted a peaceful life on Earth, but at some point she decided to instead take over the world. Eek Stack Ik Ik sees humans as little more than puppets she can control to pursue her goals, showing little concern for whatever human she possesses and disregarding the fact that Butterflies kill whatever human host they take over. Eek Stack Ik Ik doesn't even attempt to pretend being a human while possessing one, she talks about humans in a condescending manner and when looking at the memories of her current host, she does so more out of curiousity rather than attempting to understand them.
In a twisted manner, Eek Stack Ik Ik believes that her actions are for the better good of the world, she drew a peace symbol on the jar that Peacemaker kept her trapped in as a means to try to earn sympathy from her captor and bring an army of Butterflies to massacre and take over the Evergreen Police Department she told Fitzgibbon that it was "for the best" that she did so. Eek Stack Ik Ik does not tolerate insubordination, as she did not hesitate to kill Ik Nobe Llok upon capturing him and shrugged it off when confronted about it.
During the Battle of Coverdale Ranch, Eek Stack Ik Ik argued that her ruthless methods come not out of evil malice or a desire for world conquering, but a desire to save makind from their own self-destructive nature. How truthful she was with her claims is questionable however, as she is known to manipulate those around her and is delusional in her beliefs that she's helping those around her disregarding the damage or consequences her actions cause, or the high body count she leaves behind in her pursuit for her own views of peace just like Peacemaker.
Even though Peacemaker ultimately turned against her and doomed her race to extinction via starvation, she did not act hostile towards him when they met one final time.
