Wilkins is an early Muppet character created in 1957 by Jim Henson. He mostly appeared in a series of 8-second commercials advertising the local coffee brand Wilkins Coffee alongside with his partner Wontkins. Wilkins is a cheerful, yellow frog-like creature who will drink Wilkins Coffee, while Wontkins is a grumpy, red blob creature who won't. Many commercials depict Wilkins subjecting Wontkins into various acts of violence when the latter says he doesn't want to drink the coffee, such as hitting him with a club or hammer, shooting him with a gun, or letting him fall to his death.
The commercials gained popularity online during the 2010's when it became notable for its violent content. The ads have since been compiled together on several video hosting websites such as YouTube.
Wilkins became noted in 2020 when he became a prominent character in Mr. /co/lympus and Tag-Team lore, becoming the main subject of a story arc named the "Cult of Wilkins". As a competitor, Wilkins is yet to qualify for a Mr. /co/lympus tournament. In Tag-Team 2020 he and Wontkins advanced into the last 16, where they were eliminated by the devilish Dapper Dealers Bill Cipher and Alastor.
Lore
During Tag-Team Tournament 2021, while Wilkins initially took his usual threat based approach, Vriska Serket cut a deal with Wilkins after the results of the qualifiers were announced, offering him a cut of her power in exchange for killing Star Butterfly, Gertrude the Gruesome, and The God Emperor of Mankind.
Wilkins took the deal (gaining the Scorpio symbol on his chest) and succeeded in killing Vriska's rivals. Wilkins doubled down on the deal shortly afterwards, taking even more of her luck powers to the point his eyes started glowing.
Following this, Wilkins used his powers to kill off and maim people who didn't drink Wilkins coffee worldwide, including a librarian, Tavros, and allegedly Chris Stotch. He also recruited ZONE-Tan to help him run the Cult of Wilkins Coffee, and in exchange, she was granted Aradia's time powers after Wilkins had her killed to appease Vriska.
Just as victory for him and his master seemed inmminent, Wilkins lost by a single vote(ironically given by his main supporter, who had turned on Wilkins), therefore breaking his side of the extended deal with Vriska. Vriska promptly sent Wilkins to hell, where he remains to this day.
