Kim Possible is a Disney Channel original Emmy-winning animated series about a teenage crimefighter named Kim (full name is Kimberly Ann Possible) who has the task of dealing with worldwide, family, and school issues every day. The show is fairly action-oriented, but also has a strong, light-hearted comedic atmosphere and often lampoons and parodies conventions and clichés of the secret-agent and action hero genres.

About the show
Kim often finds herself criss-crossing the globe in an attempt to rescue people, stop crimes, and battle supervillains... all the while being expected to come home and complete her homework in time. Kim Possible attends Middleton High School, and is captain of the school's cheerleading squad. However, the red-haired, tummy-baring crime fighter can not save the world alone. Alongside her is Ron Stoppable, her goofy, wisecracking sidekick, and his scene-stealing pet naked mole rat, Rufus.
The series premiered in June 2002, and the first episode to air, Crush, was nominated for a Primetime Emmy award the following year. With the premiere of this episode, Kim Possible has since been regarded as the most watched and highest rated television show on the Disney Channel in many years. The series as a whole was nominated for the Daytime equivalent in 2004, and again in 2005 (that year saw it receive 5 nominations). The show has widely been praised for its smart dialog, fluid animation, and engaging, well-written characters (both heroic and villainous).
Kim's dialogue tends to be peppered with not-so-typical teen slang; for example, "So not the drama" and "No big", as well as the series' catchphrase, "What's the sitch?" (situation). The show's title music, Call Me, Beep Me, is sung by Christina Milian. Much of its artistic style is due to character development by artist Stephen Silver.
Despite the show's popularity, production on the show slowed in February 2005, after 3 seasons and 65 episodes. This is (according to a select few fans) due to a Disney policy that ceases production on shows that have run that long, regardless of popularity (a few shows produced for the Disney Afternoon ran longer than that, however). However, this is a myth and has been debunked here.
On November 28, 2005, it was announced that Disney had renewed the show for a fourth season. On the Kim Possible board of the Alternate Reality Association forum, series director Steve Loter confirmed the news and said twenty-two new episodes will be produced. Series star Christy Carlson Romano expressed great enthusiasm for the renewal in her journal on her official website.
Team Possible
Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible
The show's main character, Kim is a Kung fu fighting cheerleader who saves the world and still finds time to be a top student. She's smart, confident, and assertive, with a very driven Type-A personality. Kim is very good-hearted, has a very positive attitude, and has made a career out of helping those in need. However, she's somewhat bossy and quite a perfectionist, and can be extremely demanding of both herself and those around her. She also tends to easily become annoyed and impatient toward obnoxious or underachieving individuals. Oddly enough, her best friend Ron Stoppable is the very personification of Type-B laid-back ambivalence and randomness, and she seems to have learned some degree of tolerance through him.
Kim originally wanted to offer her services as a babysitter, but through a twist of fate ended up as a freelance secret agent doing odd jobs ranging from rescuing cats in trees to saving the world from mad scientists (particularly Dr. Drakken, her arch-nemesis). Her motto is "I can do anything," and she more than lives up to it, with a wide variety of skills ranging from martial arts to mountain-climbing to skydiving. However, although she's practically unstoppable in combat, she still sometimes suffers from the same social insecurities and growing pains as any other high school girl her age. Her only real weakness seems to be a strong tendency to be concerned about (and frequently fooled by) appearances, as well as a tendency to succumb to peer pressure, something she never really managed to overcome until the very end of the series.
As animated teen characters go, she's unusual in that she's a big hero and yet at the same time is one of the "popular kids" rather than the typical misunderstood outcast, a role fulfilled by Ron. Despite the fact she's a secret agent, her work saving the world is no secret, as everybody in her life knows about it. They mostly just ignore it and treat her like any other friend, except for the rare occasions when her work interferes with her home life (such as when a villain attacks the school or kidnaps her cheerleading squad).
Like most girls her age, Kim has been prone to crushes with boys over the course of the series, although none of them ever really worked out. It wasn't until the movie "So the Drama" that she found true happiness in the arms of Ron.
Besides saving the world, her interests also include designer clothes and a series of Beanie-Baby style collectibles of mutated animals known as "Cuddle Buddies".
Kim Possible is voiced by Christy Carlson Romano.
Ronald "Ron" Stoppable
Kim's best friend and sidekick. The two of them have known each other since pre-school, and have been best friends for most of their lives. Ron is easy-going, cheerful, and kind-hearted, but also extremely clumsy, goofy, and lacking in common sense. Kim sometimes gets impatient with his randomness and weirdness, but thanks to his kind heart over the years she's learned to tolerate and accept it. His motto is "never be normal," as stated in the beginning of the first episode, Crush. The polar opposite of Kim, Ron is extremely accepting and seems totally unconcerned with appearance and peer pressure. However, he is afraid of practically everything else (including monkeys, although he has slowly managed to overcome this), and as such, he's had to constantly overcome his various fears. Ron is also afraid of normal sized bugs, however in the episode "Roachie", he shows no fear to large roaches and can also speak their language, though not while under pressure. Ron adopts one and names it Roachie. However, Kim is afraid of him, and when he licks her, she faints.
On missions, Kim usually uses him as a distraction, since he seems like he couldn't hit someone if his life depended on it (which it usually does). This may be due more to an aversion to violence rather than a lack of skill; Ron has shown to be quite gifted in the "Monkey Kung Fu" skill (Tai Shing Pek Kwar) introduced by Monkey Fist (whom Ron once defeated without any help), and Ron has proven highly formidable on the few occasions he's been motivated to actually fight an enemy. During his time at Yamonuchi, a ninja school in Japan, Ron was found to be worthy of the mystical Lotus Blade, which can take on the form of multiple weapons and be summoned at will (a right Ron earned by virtue of his 'mystical monkey power', which he received in the episode 'Monkey Fist Strikes'). When Ron calls upon the Mystical Monkey Power, it offers him an instinctive knowledge of martial arts, as well as enhanced strength. However, he is only able to summon the power unconciously, either by losing himself in a fight or when he gets mad (such as in "A Sitch in Time" when he flew into a rage after Shego admitted that she was the one who moved his family to Norway). When his instincts take over, the Mystical Monkey Power can make Ron almost invincible. But whenever he tries to consciously control the power, things usually go wrong. Ron is very good at dodging things however, and on two separate occasions he's managed to successfully evade the combined attacks of both Kim and Shego. He also has incredible amounts of dumb luck (which he calls "dumb skill"), and in a Clouseau-esque manner often manages to bumblingly help save the day by sheer accident.
Ron's greatest interests are Tex-Mex food and video games. As a running gag, he has a tendency to have his pants ripped off by random accidents, as well as a tendency to come up with bizarre, paranoid theories that sometimes are totally false (such as mistaking Dr. Drakken's plot to build an army of killer robots as a plot to steal Christmas). One that was correct was in 'Return to Camp Wannaweep,' where he correctly comes up with the theory that ex-villain Gil is trying to become the villain 'Gill' again. He also has recurring childhood flashbacks of a disastrous summer camping trip at the infamous Camp Wannaweep (an experience which can be pointed to as the cause of almost every phobia he has), as well as a few unrelated flashbacks. One involves a supposedly evil garden gnome (apparently, lots of people are afraid of garden gnomes) and a wild mechanical horse outside Smarty Mart which resulted in Ron's phobia of robot horses ("I lost two baby teeth that day," Ron explains, "Changes a guy").
Although he often appears to be somewhat clueless and thick-headed, this is only because he's usually so random and unfocused. On the rare occasions when he's been motivated to concentrate on something, he's actually proven to be quite bright. He once, accidentally, built a doomsday machine out of random junk after being kidnapped by Drakken. Later, after a mishap that caused him to turn evil, he proved even more dangerous than Drakken by commanding fear and respect from Shego and almost succeeding in destroying the world. Ron's even managed to come to Kim's rescue on a few occasions. In their first encounter against Señor Senior Senior, he saved Kim from Senior's Spinning Tops of Doom (which is probably fair, considering that Senior built them on Ron's suggestion). Later, during a brief stint as the Fearless Ferret, Ron rescued Kim from a convention hall scaffolding after she was knocked unconscious. He also saved Kim and the entire cheerleading squad in their first run-in with Gill, using the arts and crafts skills he honed at camp and a series of misdirection tactics to lure Gill into a trap and capture him (Kim also gives Ron praise for his rescue and points out to him that he does have actual abilities).
Ron is also an accomplished chef, and is renowned as the inventor of the Naco. A creation which earned him a royalties check of $99 million from Bueno Nacho (a nickel for every Naco sold, you do the math). Unfortunately, whatever money he didn't spend away was promptly stolen when Ron was later captured by Drakken (apparently, Bonnie liked the idea of Ron carrying around the whole $99 million in his pants). It's unknown whether or not he's received any more royalties since then. However, Ron's cooking talents also surfaced when Steve Barkin put him in charge of teaching the Home Ec class (once he realized there was absolutely nothing he could teach Ron about cooking). He even opened a restaurant with Barkin in Middleton High's Home Ec room, where he was booked solid months in advance. Unfortunately the Board of Health shut him down when they discovered a live rodent, Rufus, serving the food.
He is also the Middleton High mascot, for which he wears a full-head Mad Dog mask with a working foam generator which he made himself from a Hollywood makeup kit. He later used the same makeup kit to successfully disguise himself as Kim's father to foil a kidnapping plot by Drakken.
Ron is also Jewish, a point made clear when Ron made a presentation to his class and discussed his bar mitzvah, one of the few things in his life he's exceptionally proud of. Unfortunately, that pride was temporarily shattered when Steve Barkin noticed that while Ron's Rabbi (Rabbi Katz) had printed off a bar mitzvah certificate for him, he'd apparently forgotten to sign it. This sent Ron into a spiral of self doubt, even resorting to technology from a supervillain supplier to give himself huge muscles, believing that would make him more of a man. Fortunately, with Rabbi Katz's help, Kim was able to talk Ron back to his senses. Rabbi Katz later signed Ron's certificate and everything was back to normal.
Ron spends much of the series trying to win other girls' affection, usually unsuccessfully. Some have returned interest though, a few times during which Ron didn't notice until it was too late. Ultimately, he ends up pairing up with Kim.
Ron Stoppable is voiced by Will Friedle.
Rufus
Ron's pet naked mole rat. Ron and Rufus are inseparable, and Rufus can almost always be found riding in Ron's pocket. Rufus has similar interests and personality traits as Ron (such as a love of Bueno Nacho and video games), to the point that he often mimics Ron's actions, emotions, and facial expressions. Despite being a rodent, Rufus is actually very competent and level-headed, and often comes to the rescue of Kim and Ron when they're in a pinch. He has very good technical skills, and Ron often uses him to fix broken appliances. He also has extremely strong teeth, and can even chew through some metals. He's even an accomplished martial artist, and has Monkey Kung Fu powers, like Ron; in fact, he can control them even better than him.
Rufus is the only animal on the show to display characteristics of anthropomorphism and sapience. Much like Scooby-Doo, Rufus is marginally capable of human speech (able to utter a couple of words), but mostly talks in high-pitched rodent jabber. Only Ron (and, to an extent, Kim) actually seems to understand him when he speaks (apparently, Ron has the ability to communicate with animals, but is somewhat impaired by the fact he's afraid of most of them).
Rufus is often used as a deus ex machina when the characters are in trouble.
Rufus is Ron's pet because when Ron was 12, his parents told him he could have only a hairless pet because of his Dad's allergies, so Ron purchased Rufus at Smarty Mart. Ron chose to name him Rufus after an imaginary friend he had in pre-school.
In a crossover episode of Lilo & Stitch: the Series, Dr. Jumba Jookiba mistook Rufus for Experiment 607, but Stitch revealed that Rufus was indeed a naked mole rat.
Rufus even has his own theme song ("The Naked Mole Rap").
Rufus is voiced by Nancy Cartwright.
Wade Load
The brains behind the operation. Wade's a reclusive, 10-year-old child genius who runs Kim Possible's website, supplies her with her gadgets, and gives Kim her missions through her Kimmunicator. As a genius, he has completed his high school and college education in eight months. He spends most of his time in his room, in front of the computer, with the lights off. He also seems to drink a lot of soda, since he's often seen slurping one down when communicating with Kim.
Wade practically never leaves his room, saying he hates the outdoors, and usually interacts with Kim and Ron through the Kimmunicator and various other technical wizardry such as a hologram, inside a virtual reality world, a robot called the "Wadebot" (as seen in "Blush" and "Overdue") and even through a garden gnome in Ron's garage by creating a specially tuned resonance effect. Kim and Ron have only twice managed to meet him face to face once when he left his room to get revenge upon Team Impossible after they destroyed his entire computer system with a spike. The second was in an alternate future when he served as leader of the resistance movement (although technically this may have been reversed once the time line was altered to prevent that dystopian future from occurring). It would appear that Wade is quite short, though this is probably to be expected of a 10-year old.
Wade is voiced by Tahj Mowry.
Classmates
Bonnie Rockwaller
Kim Possible's rival and the meanest girl in school. Like Kim, she's a cheerleader, and has harbored a strong dislike for Kim ever since Kim first auditioned for the cheer squad with a showy, gravity-defying try-out routine, as seen in A Sitch in Time). Unlike Kim, Bonnie is quite snobbish, selfish, and mean-spirited, while Kim on the other hand seems like a very nice person. She is on and off dating the school's dim-witted quarterback, Brick Flagg and appears to be one of the most popular students despite her unpleasant demeanor, much is the same way as Mandy Luxe is in Totally Spies. She also seems to have similar fighting skills as Kim, but is too selfish to actually use them. Bonnie seems to resent Kim because she feels that Kim is lording all her abilities and achievements over Bonnie; she often refers to Kim as "little Ms. Perfect". Kim eventually learns that Bonnie's sisters treat her badly at home, which may also account for why she's so mean to Kim and Ron. Despite her overall attitude, Bonnie has helped Kim out on a couple of her missions, but only under coercion.
Bonnie is voiced by Kirsten Storms.
Monique
Another of Kim's friends, and by far the most "normal" person in Kim's life. Other than Ron, Monique is the person that Kim spends most of her time with. She gives Kim level-headed advice about school and life, and serves as a good counter-balance to Ron's out-of-touch eccentricities. Like Kim, she's smart and hip. Unlike Kim, she seems more open-minded, laid-back, and less concerned about appearances. Monique works at the designer clothing store Club Banana, which is where she and Kim met. She has even filled in for Ron on one mission, as seen in "A Sitch In Time", though this timeline was erased and thus no one remembers it. She proved a poor partner at the saving the world business, but 20 years later became an accomplished rebel against the Supreme One, Shego, in that same timeline.
Monique is voiced by Raven-Symone.
Josh Mankey
Kim's former love interest. An artist and musician, the coolest dude in school, Kim had a huge crush on him. Like Ron, he's easy-going and kind-hearted, but unlike Ron, he's not a goofball. He's also incredibly mellow, and has only very mild reactions to the assorted weirdness he witnesses as part of Kim's life. Kim used to turn into a nervous klutz when she was around him. She went on dates with him in two episodes ('Crush' and 'Blush') , but they grew apart later in the series. He briefly dated Tara, one of Kim's fellow cheerleaders, afterwards (as shown in 'Emotion Sickness'). They broke up at some point before 'So the Drama'.
Brick Flagg
Brick Flagg is the star quarterback of the football team. He is a musclebound idiot who thinks Kim likes him, due to a fraudulent story Ron wrote for the school newspaper, as seen in the episode with Adrenna Lynn. He currently has an on-and-off relationship with Bonnie Rockwaller, but it does not seem that he really likes her; in the Kim Possible movie "So The Drama," he brushes Bonnie off at the dance in favor of hanging out with Monique. A year older than Kim and Ron, according to a press release, he will have graduated by the fourth season.
School Staff
Steve Barkin
The "permanent substitute teacher" of Middleton High School. He frequently turns up in charge of almost every class, ranging from gym to home economics, due to the fact that the other teachers seem to be perpetually sick or on vacation.
A gruff, humorless fellow with an apparent military background (and possibly a little shell-shocked because of it), he's normally quite abrasive with the students and seems particularly harsh with Ron Stoppable ("I looked at him funny once in the 9th Grade, and he's dogged me ever since," Ron explains.), as well as anyone who questions authority in general and his authority in specific (which sometimes causes him to butt heads with Kim).
He has also frequently expressed a strong dislike of mutants, which he sometimes encounters through his occasional involvement with Kim and Ron's adventures. He does have a soft spot for baked goods, however, and is the den-mother ("Brigadier Pixie") of the local Pixie Scouts chapter. His other extra-curricular activities mostly seem to involve going to the gym and Rugby.
Despite his initial unpleasantness, Barkin describes himself as "tough, but fair". While he's never one to play favorites in his classes, he's also the first to shower praise on any student who possesses exceptional abilities in whatever he happens to be teaching at the time. Even Ron, who often frequents Barkin's bad side, has managed to impress him from time to time, most notably after he demonstrated his outstanding cooking abilities in Home Economics and after he defeated Gil.
In "Tick-Tick-Tick" and "Royal Pain", his hair was blond, but starting with "Sink or Swim", he was colored brown for the remainder of the series.
Family
Dr. Possible, Kim's mother
A brain surgeon. Kim's mom is easily the most stable member of the Possible family, and often gives Kim advice on growing up. She's quite good-humored, and often manages to remain chipper even when Kim is having an emotional crisis or when the twins are blowing up the house. However, she can also be quite manipulative when she wants to be. She has, on occasion, resorted to using Kim's infamous "puppy-dog pout" against her.
Dr. James Timothy Possible, Kim's father
A rocket scientist. A very typical 50's professor type, he's somewhat obtuse and more than a bit absent-minded. Like Kim, he likes to play off his name with the motto "Anything's possible for a Possible." He was also once Drew Lipsky's friend, and Dr. Possible and friends' teasing during college is one of the primary reasons Lipsky became Doctor Drakken.
He's consistently expressed a strong distrust of "show folk," including celebrities and circus people. He also doesn't particularly seem concerned about the fact Kim risks her life on a daily basis fighting evil-doers, as long as she isn't out dating boys.
Jim and Tim Possible
Kim's annoying younger twin brothers, child geniuses with a penchant for constructing wacky inventions and harassing their older sister. Often referred to as the Tweebs (a portmanteau of twins and dweebs). Much like their father, they seem somewhat lacking in common sense, with such questionable activities as launching rockets inside the house and breeding hyper-violent mutant bees as a Mother's Day gift. Although they usually pester Kim, they once saved her and Shego from Dr. Drakken by disabling the mind-control chips on their foreheads.
The Villains
Drew Theodore P. Lipsky, aka "Dr. Drakken"
Kim Possible's arch-nemesis and most frequent foe, a mad scientist obsessed with world domination. His real name is Drew Theodore P. Lipsky (not to be confused with real-life radio psychologist Dr. Drew Pinsky), and he isn't a real doctor (he actually dropped out of college and never got his degree). A lifetime of anger and bitterness has left him with blue skin that itches a lot. Like Ron, Drakken's been an outcast most of his life, and is constantly trying to prove himself (albeit in a much more malevolent manner). Also like Ron, Drakken often comes across as clumsy and lacking common sense. Drakken and Ron have similar personalities and often act and speak similarly, but while Ron is fairly witty and prone to wisecracks, Drakken is normally oblivious to the absurdity of situations and is more of a straight man.
Drakken usually comes up with grandiose, overly-complicated plans, typically involving such wacky 80's villain staples as killer robots, mind control, and death rays. He also tends to steal his Evil Inventions, because the stuff he invents himself usually either malfunctions or tries to kill him (when Ron and Shego comment on this behavior, he angrily refers to it as "outsourcing"). Like many supervillains, Drakken frequently fails to pay attention to minor details, and on several occasions he's been foiled by his own poor planning rather than by Kim herself.
His main plans also tended to become less and less grandiose as the series progressed, and he has tried to take over the world with such unorthodox weapons as giant dinosaurs, doomsday Humvees, mosquitoes, and rap music.
Drakken was originally Dr. Possible's friend, but turned evil in college after constant teasing from Dr. Possible, Professor Chen and Professor Ramesh. He also has an embarrassing, overbearing mother who, believing he is a Radio self-help doctor , believes his job is helping people with their emotional issues rather than trying to conquer the world.
Shego
Dr. Drakken's right-hand henchwoman and Kim Possible's deadliest foe. She's easily the smartest and most competent of Kim's enemies, and (other than a strong sadistic streak) one of the sanest as well. She's also a sarcastic, violent smart-mouth who enjoys being snide to Dr. Drakken and fighting Kim Possible.
Shego has similar Kung-Fu skills as Kim, as well as the ability to create and fire green plasma flares from her hands, which are superpowers she got from getting hit by a multicolored meteorite as a child. She also seems to possess some degree of superhuman strength to go with her plasma powers, performing such feats as knocking over giant robots with her bare hands as well as lifting huge slabs of concrete over her head (although she's not nearly as strong as her older brother, Hego). Also like Kim, Shego has a rather dry sense of humor, and often makes sarcastic comments about Dr. Drakken's frequently absurd plans. Shego has often been described as an evil version of Kim, although the two of them are not actually related.
Shego is actually pretty unmotivated (which may account for why she's still affiliated with Drakken even after his repeated failures), and spends most of her free time lazing around reading villain magazines and filing her nails (even though she doesn't take off her gloves while she does it). She's also quite impatient, and quickly gets angry at people when they're being obnoxious or weird (she's also particularly quick to blast men who try to flirt with her).
Kim and Shego have more in common than either would care to admit, and not just in terms of their intellect, skills, and temperament either. Shego actually used to be a super-hero, and like Kim grew up using her powers to fight evil. However, she turned evil herself after (presumably) finally being fed up with the constant obnoxious stupidity of her family/team mates. After deciding to become evil, Shego left her family and immediately joined up with Dr. Drakken. At first, she showed some degree of fear and respect towards Drakken, but through their dealings with Kim Possible quickly learned he was all bark and no bite. She has since taken a more dominant role in their relationship, and sometimes hurts Drakken when he's being particularly annoying.
In an alternate future, Shego was the only villain to successfully take over the world (and enslaved the other villains, including Drakken, while she was at it). Although she's generally the villain with the least reluctance about hurting and endangering those who get in her way, she's shown some indications of being uninterested in cruelty for cruelty's sake. She has also demonstrated a soft spot for fish (such as wondering where the fish went when she and Drakken used a weather machine to suck the water out of a lake to use in an attack on Canada), kids in wheelchairs (when Drakken and Motor Ed plan to steal a wheelchair with cybertronic enhancements) and possibly her family (although she'd never admit it, save for perhaps when the series returned).
Señor Senior Sr.
A retired multi-billionaire who (at Ron's 'accidental' suggestion) took up villainy as a hobby to occupy his retirement years. All about the challenge, he tends toward grandiose, high-end capers, and has almost unlimited financial resources to carry them out. Although his stated goal is world domination, he seems more interested in reputation and achievement rather than power, and largely focuses on challenging thefts or schemes rather than actual global conquest. Despite his massive resources, he shuns the use of henchmen, preferring to rely entirely on his own skills (with a little help from his son, Jr.)
Senior is polite, cultured, and urbane, and often compliments Kim even as he drops her into his latest deathtrap. Unlike most of Kim's foes, he's clever, highly competent, and quite sane, and doesn't have a particular bizarre freak-theme (like Monkey Fist's monkey obsession or Duff Killigan's golf mania). However, he rigorously adheres to the "code of villainy", following such classic villain rules as "always leave the room after tying your foe to an overly complicated death machine", and as a result of following such rules he always ends up getting defeated (although he never seems to realize this). Generally a hands-off, non-physical villain, although later in the series he is revealed to be an X-games master and one of the few baddies capable of fighting Kim one-on-one quite well, evidenced in their fantastic aerial duel.
Señor Senior Jr.
Senor Sr.'s son and accomplice, Junior is a spoiled man-child more interested in parties and looking fabulous than his father's criminal plans. He's usually highly unhelpful during his Father's capers, but Senior always takes him along anyway. Junior's goal is to become an international pop sensation rather than a supervillain, but he's proven quite amoral and has no problems utilizing his father's criminal methods to achieve that goal.
He's not-too-bright and very physically unskilled, as a life of privilege has left him self-centered and un-coordinated with almost no common-sense. Despite his supreme naivety, he's actually pretty good at pointing out the obvious flaws and clichés in his father's plans (when Senior Sr. shoots an icicle to try and drop it on Kim and Ron, Junior asks him "why not just aim the laser at their bodies?"). He's extremely buff, but has no stomach for violence or danger and thus tends to perform poorly when the fighting starts (Except in 'Two to Tutor' when Shego trains him).
Señor Sr. is often upset his son doesn't know how to be a decent villain, but otherwise spoils him considerably. As a result, Senior Sr. once hired Shego to coach Junior in the fine art of perfidy, but later fired her for not being true to the "code of villainy" as well as for coming between him and his son. Junior actually gained an enormous amount of skill and competence from Shego's training, but has since forgotten almost all of it. However, towards the end of the series he did become marginally more competent: he came up with a clever plan to get back his family fortune after it was stolen by a sleazy accountant, and in a later episode launched an attack on the Tower of London on his own initiative. However, that plan did lose points for cleverness when he ended up targeting a Tower of London movie set in New Zealand instead of the actual Tower of London in England.
Lord Monty Fiske, aka "Monkey Fist"
Frequent recurring villain, his real name is Monty Fiske (making his villain name an anagram of his real name). Fiske is a rich, eccentric English lord, famous archaeologist, and the world's foremost authority on monkeys. He's a bit crazy, obsessed with monkeys and wants to become more like them. Monkey Fist squandered his family fortune on an operation to give him ape-like prehensile hands and feet (a procedure carried out by notorious rogue geneticist DNAmy). Monkey Fist is now a master of "Monkey Kung Fu" and obsessed with obtaining "Mystical Monkey Power" to make him even more simian-like (for whatever reason, Monkey Fist believes that becoming a magic monkey will help him conquer the world). His obsession with monkeys and monkey magic has left him fairly disdainful of humanity, as well as somewhat out-of-touch with modern technology. He is always accompanied by his personal cadre of trained Monkey Ninjas. His Kung Fu skills actually allow him to fight rather well against Kim, and his defeats are usually due to intervention by Ron or Rufus rather than actual losses in combat. Monkey Fist could be considered Ron's arch-nemesis (due to Ron's fear of Monkeys and on-and-off Monkey Kung Fu skills), and while Kim often interferes with his plans, it is Ron that ends up actually fighting him most of the time. According to Ron, Monkey Fist is the only villain to consistently remember Ron's name.
Duff Killigan
Irate Scotsman and the world's deadliest golfer. Dressed in a traditional kilt and cap, he attacks with golf clubs and exploding golf balls (and, on special occasions, the bagpipes). He is very mean and short-tempered. After an initial scheme to turn the world into one giant golfing green, Duff has generally settled into being a generic muscle-for-hire henchman, often working for Dr. Drakken (although he insists upon being referred to as a partner rather than a henchman).
Amy Hall, aka "DNAmy"
A disgraced former geneticist obsessed with the Beanie Baby-type collectible dolls known as "Cuddle Buddies", Amy Hall (who inherited the nickname DNAmy from her former colleagues) used her scientific genius to breed living mutant amalgams to add to her collection. She was also responsible for giving Monkey Fist his monkey hands and feet. Her insanely cheerful personality is counter-balanced by her ruthless tendency to mutate her friends and neighbors. Dr. Drakken once tried to seduce DNAmy for her technology and genuinely fell in love with her when she saved his life; but she broke his black heart when she revealed her true love was her former patient, Monkey Fist. Like Shego, she has a secret kind heart. Unlike Shego, she isn't afraid to show this quality. She gave herself gorilla arms and feet to impress Monkey Fist, but her flirtiness with him just scared him off. DNAmy has been romantically involved with Mr. Barkin, Dr. Drakken, and Monkey Fist, all of whom she has ultimately scared away with her behavior. As villains go in Kim Possible's world, Amy isn't really "evil" per se. After all, she's never really regarded her actions as evil, nor were they for any particular evil purpose. She's basically more a slave to her own insanity, which has caused her to resort to extreme measures to get what she wants.
Professor Demen "Dementor"
Another mad scientist, rival to Dr. Drakken. Drakken and Dementor are apparently the world's two foremost mad scientists (although Dementor is much more famous), and the two of them are in competition to see who can conquer the world first. Like Drakken, Dementor has henchmen, evil inventions, etc. But while he has been known to steal the odd scientific doo-dad from time to time, unlike Drakken (who mostly relies on stealing the inventions of others), Dementor relies on building his own inventions, which actually work quite well. His inventions included the Transportulator Module (a teleportation device stolen by Kim Possible), the Bondo-Ball (a powerful molecular adhesive), and his Dramatic Villain Light (self-explanatory). Dementor seems to have significantly better minions, resources, and overall confidence than Drakken, and as a result Drakken resents him greatly. He's also the only one of Kim's major foes who has never teamed up with another villain to further one of his schemes (most likely because he prefers to rely on his own abilities). Unlike most of the other villains, Dementor comes across as sane, competent and not particularly freakish. At least he was in the beginning. When he first appeared, he was probably the most "serious" of the show's villains. His only real quirks were the fact he's rather short, wears a metal face-mask, and has a habit of talking in a loud, high-pitched voice. However, in later episodes, when he started coming up with bizarre tactics such has mutant dachsunds, gift shop booby traps and his patented "dramatic villain light" (which is really just a flashlight with a red bulb that he shines under his face), it's become more and more apparent that he's maybe a few test tubes short of a chemistry set. In fact, it could be argued that like DNAmy, Dementor is pretty much a prisoner of his own insanity, which is probably the only thing that's kept him from becoming a serious threat to the world.
Minor villains
Eddy Lipsky, aka Motor Ed
Motor Ed's original name is Eddy Lipsky, being a cousin of Drew Lipsky (Dr. Drakken). He is a former government scientist, Motor Ed is a muscle-car-obsessed mechanical genius who was fired for not conforming to dress code (he refused to cut his mullet). He and his gang of master mechanics hang out in a junkyard in New Jersey. He plots to build a really big monster truck so he can "crush stuff, and keep on crushing it until I've turned the whole world into one humongous, rocking scrap yard!" He is best known for constantly ending sentences with the word "Seriously".
Gill, formerly Gil
As children, Gil and Ron were both campers at Camp Wannaweep, where Gil was somewhat unpleasant towards Ron. The two of them swapped places during swim-time, because Gil loved the water whereas Ron absolutely refused to get in. As a result of his extended stay in Lake Wannaweep's toxic water, Gil was transformed into the monster Gill ("I added an 'L', you know, as in Gill, as in these things that grew when I mutated!"). Gill blamed Ron for his mutation, and tried unsuccessfully to get revenge by tricking Ron and the rest of the Middleton Cheerleading squad into coming to Camp Wannaweep, where he captured them and attempted to make them just like him (and almost succeeded in turning Mr. Barkin into a mutant). His plan failed when Ron used his artistic know-how to trap Gill in a net.
At the end of the episode, Gill was sent to a chemical lab, where he was returned to normal. However, Gill found himself missing the power his mutant form gave him, and re-mutated himself using a pool of toxic sludge in the now cleaned-up lake. He once again tried to mutate his fellow camp goers (much to Mr. Barkin's annoyance), but was stopped by Kim and Ron (the latter of whom temporarily mutated himself into a giant man-beaver in the same toxic sludge). He was once again sent back to the lab for de-mutantification.
Adrena Lynn
A single-episode villain. Adrena Lynn was a TV teen action star (her name is a pun on 'adrenaline', a hormone in the body that would probably react to such stress) who specialized in "extreme" death-defying stunts. In reality, she faked all of her stunts, and was exposed by Kim and Ron when Kim tried to save Lynn from a failed bungee jump stunt only to discover Lynn didn't do the stunt at all and was using a stuffed stunt-double dummy. She also seems to like using the word "freaky" in sentences. (She puts emphasis on the eaky, but not the fr.)
Adrena Lynn attempted to get revenge on Kim for exposing her as a fraud, but was defeated and sent off to jail after a death-defying battle at an abandoned circus that ended with Adrena Lynn being exposed once again as a coward.
Sheldon Director, aka Gemini
Sheldon Director (Gemini) is the brother of Betty Director (known as Dr. Director). The evil head of WEE (the Worldwide Evil Empire), Gemini has dedicated his existence to the extermination of the espionage group, Global Justice (GJ). He seeks this goal despite the fact that he is actually the fraternal twin brother of Dr. Director, the leader of GJ. While Gemini claims to be Dr. Director's "evil twin", his true motive for evil is that because he was born first ("by four minutes," says Dr. Director), he wanted her to treat him like an older brother and she never did. Thus, Gemini chose to become evil and founded WWEE just to spite her. He first encountered Kim and Ron when he learned that GJ was investigating a phenomenon called "the Ron Factor" (essentially, the chaos Ron seems to trigger wherever he goes, which GJ theorized was the true reason for Kim's success at saving the world). Upon learning this, Gemini kidnapped Ron and tried to make him a member of WWEE. Fortunately, Ron was rescued by Kim and Dr. Director and together, they were able to defeat Gemini.
As villains go, Gemini can be quite fierce. His main weapon is a bionic hand that can shoot inifinite stores of missiles from his fingertips. His hand can also generate devastating electric shocks, which Ron and Rufus turned back on him when they caught him in a Chinese finger trap, causing him to stun himself. When it comes to running WWEE, Gemini seems to be quite organized on the surface (despite his penchant for naming all his henchmen after letters in the Greek alphabet). But upon closer inspection, he does have a few bad habits that really keep him down. He is fiercely dedicated to his pet chihuahua Pepe (who has a hissy fit whenever someone utters the words "Global Justice"). He can also be very impatient and immature at times. The first time a henchman fails, Gemini immediately dispatches him (either through a trap door or an ejection seat) and moves on to the next one. He also has a habit of reverting to the mentality of a 6-year-old when in the presence of Dr. Director (although anyone who's seen an argument between them will see that Dr. Director doesn't exactly have the high ground on maturity). Despite that, Gemini is one of the more competent supervillains on the show.
Aviarious
A villain with a bird fetish who wears an outlandish costume with a purple wing like cape and mask. He was actually the principal enemy of Team Go, Shego's family. Kim ran afoul of him in Go City during his scheme to steal all of the team's powers with a magic scepter. She got Hego's super-strength accidentally by standing in the middle of the transfer. Aviarious may be inspired by Spiderman villain The Vulture, Batman foe The Penguin, and Zim from Invader Zim.
The Knights of Rodhegan
Long ago, the kingdom of Rodhegan was run by a ruthless monarch, who was so mean that even his knights hated him. Ever since then, the knights have plotted to kill the members of the Rodigan royal family, especially Prince Wallace III (aka Wally to his friends). They have adapted to the 21st century, even starting their own website. After a failed attempt to murder Wally, the knights were defeated by Kim (with a little help from Ron) at the Middleton Golf Park.
Malcolm Neevious, aka "The Wraith Master"
Malcolm is a hard-core 'power player' in the popular online game Everlot (a parody of EverQuest). He takes his obsession a bit too far and seeks to dominate the game world and rule as his online avatar - the Wraith Master. He also tries, unsuccessfully, to win the affections of Zita Flores. Malcolm uses immersion caps stolen from his father's company, Everlot Inc, to place Ron and Zita directly into the Everlot game thus ensuring that they need to win the game to leave. He is finally defeated and it appears that there are no hard feelings from the other players; Ron even consoles him (relating to Malcolm's attempts to impress Zita) and suggests joining the Drama Club - since he already "owns the shirts" - which Malcolm agrees with. He appears in the 'Vir-Tu-Ron' episode.
The 'Killer' Bebes
The Bebes are feminine robots based on an early design by Dr. Drakken in college. Cold, quick and formidable, the collective Bebe 'hive' desires only perfection in performance. They were originally designed by Drakken to kidnap his old classmates from college (including Kim's father) as part of a twisted college reunion. However, realizing that their creator was imperfect, the Bebes rebelled against Drakken and chose to work independently. With some help from her father, Kim was able to disrupt the Bebe's programming with a hypersonic pulse (which was basically just the droning from a TV test pattern)that short-circuted them and forced them to explode. However, the Bebes would later return with newer upgrades, including enhanced strength and the ability to move so fast, that they could phase out of normal time.
The second time around, they were stealing assembly line equipment for the purpose of creating their own hive. When their hive mentality demanded that they search for a queen, they chose to acquire Bonnie Rockwaller, after overhearing Kim describe her as the "bossiest person on the planet". They then hooked Bonnie up to a hive mind generator that linked her subconcious thoughts with the Bebes' CPUs. This resulted in the Bebes not only talking like Bonnie (mostly through her endless barrage of insults towards Kim), but also acting to fulfill her subconscious desires (including kidnapping the band, Smash Mouth, because Bonnie wanted them to perform at a Middleton High dance). However, through Wade, Kim and Rufus each acquired a special pair of shoes (the Valkyrie 1000s) that caused them to move at the same speed as the Bebes. This allowed Kim to destroy the original three while Rufus sabotaged the assembly line, resulting in the new Bebes to be made with their heads upside down. The shock of being assembled imperfectly then caused the CPUs of remaining Bebes to crash.
As villains go, The Bebes impose their will mostly through their robotic physicality. With their enhanced strength and time phasing speed, along with extendable limbs and durable armor plating, the Bebes can give pretty much anyone trouble in a fight. However, that's about all that can be said for them. Granted, the Bebes' hive mind is meticulous and calculating (as befits a machine) but it is not particularly intelligent, inventive, or clever, allowing them to be defeated by a simple bit of sabotage. But considering their constant desire for perfection and that they have already dismissed humans as imperfect, it's ironic that without a human to give them orders, the Bebes really have no idea what to do with themselves. This is probably the only thing that diminishes them as a threat.
Frugal Lucre
A geeky Smarty-Mart employee and super villain who threatened to infect the internet with a virus scanned via the barcode of a can of expired vienna sausages, unless everyone in the world agreed to pay him a dollar each, thus earning him over six billion dollars. However, hardly anybody did so. Ultimately, Kim and Ron managed to find the can and beat him. His thriftiness was demonstrated by the fact that he got his equipment using his own employee discount (and that he still lives with his mom). Used a cheesy fake beard and awful pseudo-European accent to disguise himself for his worldwide broadcasts. His real name is Francis Lurman.
Falsetto Jones
An dog breeder and supposed thief, internationally famous for his Lithuanian Wolfhounds. Prior to the episode called "Rufus in Show" he had stolen a large diamond from the museum and stored it away in his mansion which is heavily guarded by bodyguards and electric eels. In order to infiltrate his mansion, Kim, and Ron entered Jones' annual dog show (using Rufus as a "dog"). Their attempt was foiled however, when Falsetto, suspicious, asked for Rufus' autograph, and traced it to Rufus, identifying Ron as Rufus' owner, and even where Ron bought him. Thankfully, Kim managed to save the day. Likes to watch heroes die in his elaborate death traps instead of leaving them to their fates. He is known as "Falsetto" due to a freak helium accident giving him a permanently high-pitched voice.
Dr. Phen
One of the co-workers of Dr. Possible (Kim's Dad) who works in the robotics department. It is uncertain how he received this position, as he is actually a rather incompetent roboticist. Presumably he had been stealing others' ideas for a while. All the robots he makes on his own attack him or try to hurt him. He only appeared once, in the episode called "Grudge Match". In his own dream for credit and fame, he claimed a robot he made was stolen and blamed this on an ex-lab assistant named Vivian Porter. With Kim Possible's help, he was able to steal the robot from Oliver, Vivian's boyfriend, but Kim's intelligence allowed her to realize that Dr. Phen was a fraud. He threatened to destroy the robot if Kim didn't let him go but a clever use of an electromagnet from the Jupiter project saved the robot and allowed Kim to defeat Phen and return credit to Vivian Porter. In the end, Phen was arrested and Vivian was awarded his position.
Fukushima
Fukushima was a student of the Yamanouchi ninjitsu school.
When Ron was temporarily transferred into the school as part of an exchange program, Fukushima voiced his protest, resentful of an outsider being allowed to enter the school. Afterwards, he is shown hazing Ron and laughing whenever he makes a mistake.
He ends up betraying Yamanouchi to serve Monkey Fist in his attempt to steal the Lotus Blade, telling him the location of the Lotus Blade, and leading Ron into the simian supervillain's trap. The motivations behind these actions go more or less unexplained, but may stem from his earlier resentment of Ron.
Apparently Fukushima intended to become a career ninja, as he was briefly cowed by Ron's assertion that helping a supervillain wouldn't look good on his transcript, and would keep him from entering a good ninja college. However, after Monkey Fist claimed that once he'd led an army of monkey ninjas into battle he would write Fukushima a letter of recommendation, Fukushima continued to serve.
Later, after Ron and Yori have escaped, and the students of Yamanouchi arrived to fight Monkey Fist and his ninja monkeys, Fukushima engaged in battle with Ron and was easily beaten.
He was not seen after this, but presumably he was expelled from Yamanouchi.
Minor Allies
Dr. Betty Director
Betty Director, more commonly known as Dr. Director, is the head of the worldwide espionage organization known as Global Justice (GJ). She is in charge of addressing any threats to the world that fall outside the scope of normal law enforcement groups. However, even an organization with some of the world's finest scientists, weapons and agents requires some help from time to time. And Dr. Director isn't too proud to call in reinforcements if it means the job gets done, which is where Kim Possible comes in. However, being a TOP SECRET organization, even asking for help has to be handled in a subversive way, whether it's sucking Kim into a trap door through a series of transport tubes or arranging a phony crime to lure her to a meeting site. She first introduced Kim to Global Justice in a case that led to Kim's first encounter with Duff Killigan. She later called in Kim to assess the phenomenon GJ scientists dubbed "the Ron Factor" (the basic gist being that Ron's chaotic nature was the real reason for Kim's success saving the world and Dr. Director wanted to see if GJ could harness that chaos). She has subsequently stayed behind the scenes for the most part, although Kim has had other dealings with Global Justice, usually in the form of rides to her destinations and backup on missions.
As the head of a global organization, Dr. Director has very little hands-on involvement in GJ's cases, but on the rare occasions when she's had to get her hands dirty (such as when she had to team up with Kim to fight her twin brother, Gemini), she's proven that she can hold her own in a fight. Dr. Director is bound and determined to bring down Gemini and his organization, WEE (the Worldwide Evil Empire). But rather than a war of two tactical geniuses, their battles are really more reminiscent of a kindergarten slap fight, since their conflict is really nothing more than a case of sibling rivalry run amuck. In fact, get the two of them in a room together and even Ron would most likely say that he's more mature than either of them. Dr. Director is instantly recognizable by her eyepatch, reminiscent of the Marvel Comics character, Nick Fury. Gemini wears one too. However, it's unclear whether either sister or brother wears it because of an actual eye injury or whether they're just trying to make a fashion statement.
Will Du
Allegedly the "top agent" of Global Justice, Will Du was brought on by Dr. Director to work alongside Kim when she was recruited to rescue a former weapons researcher from Duff Killigan. This was an assignment that Will particularly resented, since he sees world saving as a "professional's" job and didn't appreciate an "amateur" like Kim horning in on what he felt was his racket. This caused Kim no end of grief, since she spent more time fighting with Will than with Killigan himself. However, they eventually managed to find a small amount of synergy and in the end, were able to stop Killigan from turning the entire world into his own private golf course.
A consummate professional, Will takes his job as an agent of Global Justice very seriously. So seriously in fact, that he doesn't seem to realize it's a job he's not particularly good at. While he is well educated and academically competent (as well as having access to all of GJ's best equipment and resources), Will has a bad habit of rushing headlong into every situation, thinking he has everything under control when he really doesn't. This usually results in him tripping himself up and getting him and anyone he's working with in trouble. In fact, there were times in his mission with Kim, when his bumbling almost made Ron look like a super agent by comparison. Will also tends to be a little too "by the book" and isn't very good at adapting to unforseen complications (unlike Kim and Ron, who specialize in thinking outside the box).

Professor Cyrus Bortel
A selfish inventor, Professor Bortel is often a bit of a science absorbed man. His devices often wreck havoc in Kim and Ron's lives, and he doesn't mean well. Bortel developed the Neural Compliance Chip and the Moodulators, both of which affected Kim and Shego in "The Twin Factor" and "Emotion Sickness". His motives are self-centered (Considering he designed the Neural Compliance Chip for no particular purpose), and his devices' negative effects are from misuse. Plus, Cyrus has never been one to truly accept the consequences of his inventions. His original intent for the Moodulator chips was to sell them online, although he never considered who might want to buy them or what they might want to use them for. He is a tad unorganized, as seen in "Emotion Sickness" when he failed to notice the Kimmunicator's presence until it took off. Many think that Bortel will become a villain later on in the series, due to his shadowy style of technology.
Yori
A classmate from Ron's trip to the secret ninja school in Yamanouchi, Japan during the episode "Exchange". She is very skilled in her kung fu ways, but still manages to get captured by Monkey Fist, allowing Ron to save the day for once. She does have a slight crush on Ron, which coincidentally caused Kim no end of grief, as seen in the episode "Gorilla Fist", when she subtly tried to steal him from her. At least, that's how Kim saw it. Yori is unwaveringly supportive of Ron and has the utmost confindence in his abilities, since he possesses the Mystical Monkey Power. Even during Ron's clumsier moments, her opinion of him has never changed. In fact, while others are put off, Yori actually seems to welcome Ron's clumsy moments, seeing them as a good tension breaker in a stressful situation. It's unclear how advanced Yori's skills are, but in "Gorilla Fist" she was at least able to keep up with Kim in the fight against DNAmy's gorilla warriors. Her weapon of choice seems to be a fan, which she can wield with the cutting force of a blade. In terms of appearance, Yori seems to have a passing resemblance to Bonnie Rockwaller, although the two of them have radically different personalities.
Sensei
The Headmaster of Yamanouchi, Sensei was the one who initially arranged for Ron to be part of the transfer program to Japan in order to protect the Lotus Blade from Monkey Fist. He was later kidnapped by DNAmy as part of a plot to frame Monkey Fist so Ron and Yori would find him for her (so she could be Monkey Fist's girlfriend). Like Yori, Sensei has an unwavering confidence in Ron and his abilities and sees him as a true warrior, although this is a mindset Ron doesn't always share.
The traditional "wise old master", Sensei possesses a wide range of abilities, a product of his many years of training and experience. As a martial artist, he is quite powerful, regardless of his advanced years and small stature. He demonstrated this handily in "Gorilla Fist" showing that he could even go toe-to-toe with the raw power of DNAmy's gorilla warriors. He also seems to possess a wide range of spiritual abilities, such as astral projection (which he used to try and warn Ron not to get involved in his kidnapping) and the ability to levitate. But despite these skills, Sensei seems to prefer not involving himself directly in conflicts unless he has to, most likely because he believes such acts are best left to the young, whom he does his best to pass his knowledge on to through the Yamanouchi school.
Hirotaka
A student of the Yamanouchi ninja school, Hirotaka allowed himself to be transferred to Middleton temporarily so that Ron could travel to Japan to fight Monkey Fist. When he arrived, he immediately gained the affection of every girl in school, including Kim and Monique, who held out longer than the others. But eventually, even they were drawn to Hirotaka and ended up being the two fiercest competitors for his affection. However, all their efforts were in vain when Hirotaka revealed that he had in fact chosen Bonnie Rockwaller as his "#1 girlfriend".
In terms of skill, Hirotaka seems to be one of Yamanouchi's more adavanced students and possesses a great deal of stamina through his training. When he asked Kim to demonstrate her skills to him, although neither of them actually hit the other, Kim was left winded and Hirotaka hadn't even broken a sweat. He also seems to prefer a more defensive style of combat, not fighting back unless he absolutely has to. When Brick Flagg tried to pick a fight with him at Bueno Nacho (angered at the attention Hirotaka was getting from all the girls), Hirotaka was perfectly happy to simply evade Brick's attacks and let him exhaust himself to the point where Brick couldn't fight anymore. At first glance, Hirotaka appears to be a rather cocky, self-absorbed individual, through his confident smirk and the way he constantly flips sticks of gum into his mouth without care. But beneath the surface, Hirotaka is really just a very laid-back, calm personality who seems content to just let things happen as they happen.
Felix Renton
More Ron's friend than Kim's, Felix is an easygoing boy who enjoys video games and wrestling. The fact that he was born paralyzed doesn't stop him from enjoying life, especially since his mom, who is a cybertronic genius at the space center, tricked out his wheelchair. Felix often jokes about his stiuation, much to Kim's discomfort. In fact, when Felix first arrived, Kim was in a way even more paralyzed than Felix, since she kept trying to think of the most "appropriate" way to behave around him. In the beginning, her efforts were repeatedly met with failure, but inspired by Ron's mellow attutude (as well as realizing that he was more than capable of handling life, even from a wheelchair), she relaxed eventually.
Felix is a wonderful friend, supporting Ron in the two episodes he appeared in, "Motor Ed" and "Steal Wheels". He has helped on those two missions and was essential to their success, his wheelchair's abilities coming in handy. Since both missions involved Motor Ed (who claims that he could've handled Kim the first time had Felix not interfered), the argument could be made that Motor Ed has become more Felix's enemy than Kim's.
As an interesting piece of trivia, Ron's voice actor Will Friedle and Jason Marsden (Felix), aside from playing friends on screen, are best friends in real-life.
Team Go
A family/team of super-heroes who protect Go City. They appeared in the episode "Go, Team Go". The siblings got their powers after a multi-hued meteorite crashed into their tree house.
They reside in Go Tower, a building that is rather similar in appearance to the one that the Teen Titans (DC Comics) live in.
Their arch-foe is Aviarius, a bird-obsessed man who has his lair on the nearby mountain range.
The leader (of sorts) is Hego, with the "blue glow" and super strength. He is the only one of the team with a normal skin tone, but when he isn't disguised as his alter ego (a Bueno Nacho manager with black hair and Clark Kent style glasses) his hair is dark blue. His personality is somewhat a parody of Superman's, being the most overtly "superheroic" but also childishly bossy and take-charge. Has a tendency to make horrible jokes and puns (Calling Team Go's team work "Go-operation", for example) and appears quite unable to tell when they fall flat. He sincerely believed that despite her actions, Shego was still a good person, only to be proven wrong when she betrayed and blasted him.
Next is Mego, with the purple suit, skin, hair, and glow power which gives him the ability to shrink at will. He possesses a large and easily wounded ego, and is rather defensive of his seemingly-useless power. After the team reunites, he expresses a desire to be the leader.
Rounding out the team are Wego, twins and the youngest of the group. Rather happy-go-lucky, they seemingly take every twist and turn in stride. They have the red power, and all the color coordination that goes with it, along with the ability to duplicate themselves.
No longer a member of Team Go is Shego, Dr Drakken's henchwoman/bodyguard. She once fought crime with her brothers, but quit and became a criminal partly because she was thoroughly sick of them, and partly because of a growing fascination with villainy. According to Hego, "The more we fought evil, the more she came to like it." As mentioned above, Hego never truly believed she turned to the dark side, but her willingness to keep all her siblings' powers after they were stolen and use them to her own ends would seem to prove him wrong. However, Kim snatched the sceptre that held their powers out of Shego's hands and broke it, restoring each member's powers. Afterward the teen hero reflected that it seemed a little too easy to do so, implying that perhaps Shego cares more about her family than she admits.
