History
What's New, Scooby-Doo?
Season one
Melbourne unmasked.
Melbourne excavated dinosaur bones for the Costa Rican Museum in Costa Rica. He ignored the warnings of Senior Luis Cepeda while gathering the bones of a dinosaur spirit. While retrieving them at the Temple of Agazar, he was attacked by the spirit.
He was present at the showing of the dinosaur exhibit where he met Mystery Inc. When the dinosaur spirit started to terrorize the museum, he decided to find and capture it. He took the gang to the abandoned gold mines under the museum to search. He went alone when the group split up, and then reappeared after the gang escaped the dinosaur spirit.
Daphne suspected him of being the spirit, believing that he'd do anything to be a hero. However, he was cleared of suspicion after the true culprits were revealed.[2]
Season two
He invited the gang to a dig at the Pyramid of the Moon, but was hypnotized into dressing up as the Mummy of Pharaoh Scamses.[1]
