If we interpret Scooby-Doo’s Mystery Inc. through the Delta Green lens, the gang aren’t just goofy teens solving pranks — they’re a deniable task force investigating paranormal incursions that the government wants to suppress. Each case file (“episode”) is a cover operation to identify, neutralize, and conceal evidence of the unnatural before public exposure.

>The Cell
Fred Jones – Team Lead / Federal Liaison
Fred’s leadership, tactical focus, and obsession with traps mark him as a former special operations or FBI tactical agent. His “traps” aren’t just slapstick devices — they’re field improvisations meant to contain manifestations or human cultists safely for later interrogation or cover-up. He keeps the team on task and maintains plausible deniability through the “TV show” façade.

Daphne Blake – Cover Asset / Handler Liaison
Daphne’s “damsel” act is an infiltration strategy. Her wealthy background and media savvy let her provide funding, transport, and social cover (Delta Green always needs a plausible civilian front). She’s the one who smooths over local law enforcement and press after each mission. In some readings, she’s a Handler’s daughter or an external liaison tasked with monitoring the team’s mental stability.

Velma Dinkley – Intelligence Analyst / Occult Research Division
Velma is a Delta Green Archivist type — the “Agent Marchand” of the group. She’s the only one who sees the real pattern. Her catchphrase “Jinkies!” is that moment of horror when pattern recognition meets the mythos. Her skepticism is an emotional defense mechanism against the full terror of what she keeps finding: that not all monsters are human.
