Neil, the reclusive billionaire behind Amazin, is obsessed with gaining power and stature. He recruits Frylock specifically to clone a taller version of himself, ultimately creating Big Neil through DNA splicing with giraffe and basketball legend Shawn Kemp's DNA. His desire for height directly correlates with his ambition for dominance and control.

Neil's interest in Frylock was never genuine friendship, he wanted access to the crystal powering Frylock's new metal shell. This crystal becomes essential to Elmer's plan to create hybrid plant creatures and is the driving reason Neil saved Frylock after the mugging.

Frylock and the two Neils devise a plan to stop the plant creatures by blocking their access to sunlight. They fly Llama Dolly to the Moon, defeat the Mooninites, and push the Moon between the Sun and Earth, creating perpetual darkness that kills off the plant life.

With the Earth frozen after the Moon blocks the Sun and the Neils killed by aliens, the Japongaloids and Fraptaculans debate what to eat next. They ultimately decide to devour the Aqua Teens as their final meal, ending the film on a darkly comic note.

After Frylock successfully splices Neil's DNA with giraffe and Shawn Kemp DNA, the resulting clone Big Neil asserts dominance immediately upon creation. He locks the original Neil inside a wooden box and takes control of Amazin, demonstrating that Neil's own ambition for power backfired on him.
