Popeye's main enemy is typically considered to be Bluto, also known as Brutus, a rival for Olive Oyl's affection who often clashes with Popeye in the animated series.
Popeye's enemy is typically portrayed as Bluto (also known as Brutus), a large and brutish sailor who constantly vies for the affections of Olive Oyl and tries to best Popeye in various competitions. Bluto serves as a recurring antagonist in the Popeye cartoons and comics.
Many will say that scurvy is the Piratical disease.
Olive Oyl is from the original, and later televised, cartoon series. She was Popeye's girlfriend. During the long running series, she was always being kidnapped by Bluto, Popeye's enemy.
It depends on the period of time you are interested in. Most people would identify the "bad sailor" as Bluto (starting in 1932) although for a short period of time his name was changed to Brutus. However Bluto/Brutus was not the only enemy the sailor man faced. There as also the Sea Hag (and here vultures) and Alice the Goon and her friends on Goon Island. During the wartime episodes Popeye also squared off with a number of Japanese and German villans. These are generally never seen in today's politically correct world.
