Discover the Secrets : Professor Plum has been completely reinvented as Victor Plum , a successful video game designer. The Classic Mystery Game : "Plum" is now an alias for the youthful Nikolas Maksimov, a bespectacled inventor and mathematical genius. A challenge to him could be perilous. He works at the World Health Organization but does not practice medicine having had his license revoked due to improper conduct with a patient.
He still keeps his good looks and sexy features. He receives the Revolver from Mr. Again, he takes on the appearance of a middle-aged college professor whose intelligence is tempered with homicidal tendencies as he killed his wife out of desperation to complete an experiment. He is an expert on many poisons and was Mr. Boddy's son-in-law. Peacock, with an intellectual background. His portrayal: a young American businessman.
Boddy, who rarely offers Plum common human decency for his many woes. He is characterized as paranoid and often unaware of when his being made a patsy by the others, until it is too late.
He can be quite naive, having inventions stolen, being framed for masterminding crimes and under false impressions of Miss Scarlet being attracted to him, all resulting him being a possible murderer. He is played by David Healy. He is given a disoriented music theme.

In , Parker Bros. These characters would appear in a number of other spin-off games and licensed products as well, and become the first of many new characters which would be created for subsequent games and products. Miss Peach is the stock character of a Southern Belle. Her character is usually one who manipulates others using her sweet, innocent charm.
However, this is far from the case. She is appropriately represented by an orange -coloured token. She really came to the mansion on purpose, on request of her father, M. However, these claims do not go unquestioned for which she claimed to have been taking a long vacation in the country on short notice.
She is presented as a blonde-haired girl, wearing a large pastel orange hat, and her favourite flower is the deadly nightshade. Unlike her American counterpart, this Miss Peach is more like a quiet, reserved school matron. Her appearance is similar to her depiction in Super Challenge with the short brown hair, yet she has regained a more bubbly personality.
However, in Super Cluedo , her colour inexplicably changes to pink, as Mme Mystique Rose instead assumes orange. Her personality and looks are very similar to that of her Master Detective counterpart. She sports some daisies as a hair decoration, and carries a parasol. Clue Mysteries : Miss Amelia Peach is portrayed as a bitter law school dropout who had her share of bad luck in life.
She is seen wearing a pair of horn-rimmed glasses and is erroneously dressed in pink. Peach shows up to meet Mr. Boddy; her former flame, who is horrified to discover she was just a dalliance for him and that he is wedding Mrs. Brunette is the stock portrayal of a foreign con artist.
In most of his incarnations, he is a deceitful Frenchman out to con others for his own personal gain. Brunette's name is derived from one of the oldest originally created and filed in the patent as that of Mr. Brown, but not previously used in a published game and appropriately represented by a brown -coloured token. Making his first appearance in the Clue world, M. Brunette arrives announcing himself as Mr. However, he is secretly a conman who hopes to cheat the others out of their earnings along with his foster daughter, Miss Peach.
He always wears an eye patch that he allegedly needs. Master Detective : Appearing again, this time M. Alphonse Brunette portrays a fraudulent art and arms dealer. His works for which he had sold have come under fire due to questionable authenticity. His inept abilities at being genuine are clearly illustrated by his failure to notice the difference between Monet and Manet. Although the character is the same as his Master Detective counterpart, his name had been changed and he was now called Mr.
Brown in Passport to Murder and even stranger, called Mr. Nonetheless, the character is no longer visually a French stereotype. Brunette is depicted as a dark, Parisian man in large brown fur coat and suit, with an eyepatch. He appears to be an art dealer who came to value one of Boddy's paintings with the intent of stealing it, and replacing it with a fake.
Madame Rose represents the stock character of a fortune teller. The question is whether she predicted the murder, or caused it? She is represented by a pink -coloured token. For her first appearance in the world of Clue, Rose is presented as Mr. Like her brother Mr. Boddy and nephew Sgt. Grey, Madame Rose shares the main Boddy family trait…insanity. Her name was originally Rhoda Rosengarten before moving back to Hungary to set up her paranormal business.
She took the first Budapest tramp steamer to see her old employer after a vision of a dark cloud over him. She is portrayed as an overweight and heavily jeweled middle-aged woman looking startled while holding up a candlestick. Other than that, she is the same character as Rose, though she is portrayed slightly younger and thinner than before.
She came to predict the death of Mr. Boddy, but perhaps was the one to kill him? Gray takes the stock role of a corrupt cop. His abidance to the law which he enforces is questionable.

He is the result of love affair between Mr. Boddy and Mrs. White, and like his mother, he too is colour blind.
Master Detective : Sgt. Gray returned again, only to become a serious, no-nonsense cop in the village who claims to have stumbled onto the crime scene while collecting funds for the Police Blackmail Awareness Program. He is corrupt at his job and unimaginative in his methodology. Gray presumably returns to the Clue world once more in Britain when he appeared in Super Cluedo. However, his appearance had been changed to a much older man, and his rank had been upgraded to have him called Inspector Grey.
A more matured title suited his older look better. He appeared again in Passport to Murder , though he inexplicably became Earl Grey. Otherwise, his appearance was the same as the Inspector persona. Possibly, he is undercover.
He appears to have been extorting Mr. Boddy for a cut of money, to arrange dropping charges for Boddy over a tax scandal.

Clue FX : An herbalist who possibly poisoned her husband, Lord Lawrence Lavender, Lady Lavender is an honorable lady who tends to be a slight bit of a trouble-maker at times.
Her Asian heritage is reminiscent of the earlier Miss Scarlet's c. In Clue FX , she was an innocent investigator of the death of Mr. Her herbal business makes her successful, wealthy, and entertained, and also quite spoiled, but it is also stated that she wants even more and concocts plants to spice up her life. She is appropriately represented by a lavender token. Interestingly, in the Clue Junior book series, there is a stock character named Mrs.
Clue FX : The murder victim. Married to Jane Meadow-Brook, he served as Dr. Boddy's lawyer. He has never been depicted in any game.

He is depicted as an ex-army cartographer and is now employed in designing gardens for wealthy clients.
