Well, I have a new villain for future seasons of HoEC. This villain is basically a business man that comes from a dimension that's similar to Equestria, except that instead of being colorful and cheerful, the dimension is dull, gray and boring. This pony-shaped business man has plans to take over the whole multiverse, establishing an oppressive monopoly over the entire multiverse. Basically, he plans to turn the entire multiverse into his own capitalist empire.

Now, here is where Alan gets involved in the plan. This idea requires Alan to have lost his parents at a young age. Perhaps they died when he was a baby, or some major incident happened that caused him to be separated from his parents. This villain I'm talking about finds Alan as a baby, and decides to raise him to use him as the central piece of his master plan. He raises and educates Alan as if he were his son, and transmits to him the same ideals he has. The influence if this figure in his life leads Alan to creating his huge company of Hyper-Tech. Another thing he is influenced to do is to capture villains for "disrupting the order of society", as this villain says. That's where he begins the Purple-Ops.

Now, Alan isn't being forced into doing this. Unlike Dr. Zack, who is acting more out of desperation and fear of his superiors, the reasons behind Alan's actions would be the ideals and mindset this villain has placed in his mind since he was a child. Basically, this villain raised him to become who he is today. Alan thinks he's doing what's right, since it's the only perspective he knows of.

This leads to a huge climax for the Season 6 finale, where Alan seems to finally have the Locked Room Gang at his will. Villains are forced into submission by Alan, and the Locked Room Gang is locked up. When the gang learns about who raised Alan, they try to make him understand that he's been lied to and used by this villain in his plan to build take over the multiverse with his oppressive monopoly. Alan doesn't believe them. Why should he, if the Locked Room Gang have been one of his main enemies ever? The villain takes advantage of this turn of events to establish his dominance over several dimensions, turning them just as dull, gray and boring as his home dimension, turning them into large cities full of employees who wear dull gray uniforms, and are payed minimum wage while they are treated almost like slaves.

Some members of the Locked Room Gang manage to escape from where they are trapped, but they are in trouble, since the Purple-Ops are now more powerful than ever, and are after them. Alan feels satisfied that he has finally achieved his goals. No villains are attacking the multiverse, and the gang has been stopped as well. However, he overhears a conversation of the main villain with his right hand man, and overhears them talking about how they used him as a pawn to establish their oppressive regime over the multiverse. Realizing that he was lied to and used, Alan realizes that the gang was right all along. He sees some recordings of what the multiverse is like now, and he sees that this isn't right. Determined to set things right, he frees the gang and decides to help them overthrow the cunning business villain.

This idea would give Alan a very interesting backstory, while also giving him a strong character arc for season 6. The one who raised him will show up occasionally during the course of Season 6 doing his own business, but it will only be until the Season 6 finale that the whole climax of the plan will be revealed. As you wanted, Alan will be reformed and become a hero, while standing up against the one person he actually trusted his whole life.
