As the hero of a family show, poor Kim is never allowed to be anything but good and heroic. (Well, maybe losing her temper now and then--as well quite a few bad decisions she's made.) Because of this she has fewer entries than Ron, Drakken, and Shego (see also [[Trope Example Laws|Trope Example Law]] number 21).

Rufus is Ron's beloved pet. Much like Ron serves as a sidekick to Kim, Rufus himself serves as a sidekick to Ron. Ron could only have a hairless pet on account of his father's allergies, so he purchased Rufus, a naked mole rat, instead of the sphinx that he swore was evil. He lives most of the time in either Ron's pocket or his locker at school, and was first introduced to Kim on their first major mission, where she pronounced him "gross but useful."

For example, while James Possible was apparently well-respected by his peers, they weren't willing to consider any of Dr. Drakken's inventions, which likely led to him becoming a villain.

* [[Filing Their Nails]]: As seen in the trope's page image, one of Shego's signature traits is filing her nails whenever she's bored and/or unimpressed. Given that she usually does this ''while wearing gloves'' (and considering her [[Deadpan Snarker|personality]]), she is almost certainly being deliberately mocking.
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: She and Kim would likely be BFFs if they weren't on opposite sides, and even so, tend to exchange pleasantries and fashion tips during battles, albeit with a great deal of sarcasm and snark.

The list of Characters for the cartoon series Kim Possible.

Team Possible

Kim Possible

Voiced by: Christy Carlson Romano/ Dakota Fanning (Preschool Kim)

As the hero of a family show, poor Kim is almost never allowed to be anything but good and heroic. (Well, maybe losing her temper now and then--as well quite a few bad decisions she's made.) Because of this she has fewer entries than Ron, Drakken, and Shego (see also Trope Example Law number 21).

  • The Ace: The head cheerleader, straight A student, involved in every extracurricular activity you can think of and the ultimate heroic Action Girl. This all provides a contrast with Ron, though they’re ultimately not so different.
  • Action Girl: Doy!
  • Affectionate Nickname: Ron calls her "K.P.".
  • Badass Adorable
  • Badass Normal: Especially during So The Drama and any time she fights someone with superpowers, such as her frequent battles with Shego, her generally mopping the floor with Team Go in Stop Team Go, and even going toe to toe with an Eldritch Abomination for a few seconds before he kicked his magic in on her.
  • Bare Your Midriff: Occasionally, though this is less frequent as the show goes on, such as her putting on a power suit.
  • Boring Invincible Hero: At least in the first season when it seemed she can do no wrong and was a little too perfect a hero, though to her credit she did receive support from Wade and Ron. Season Two and onward subvert the trope by showing that, despite her impressive agility and cunning, she's not perfect and indeed wouldn't be as effective without her partners.
  • Braces of Orthodontic Overkill: As shown in A Sitch In Time, she had to wear braces during her first year of high school, which made her look as geeky as her best friend. Once they came off though, she became the most popular girl in school.
  • Buffy-Speak
  • Catch Phrase:

"What's the sitch?"
"No big."
"So not the drama."
"You rock!"
"Please and thank you!"

Ron Stoppable

Voiced by: Will Friedle/ Harrison Fahn (Preschool Ron)

As the sidekick, Ron gets to display a wider range of traits, more character development, and even turn evil a couple of times.

  • Adorkable
  • All Guys Want Cheerleaders
  • Animal Talk: Naked mole rats, mutant roaches (of all things), and monkeys.
  • Badass Abnormal: Was normal at first, but after getting Mystic Monkey Powers in Monkey Fist Strikes, he definitly enters this area, if not obviously until the Grand Finale.
  • Badass Adorable: He’s naive but totally awesome.
  • Balloon Belly: In "Animal Attraction" and "Grande Size Me".
  • Berserk Button:
    • Don't ever threaten to hurt Kim in front of him or you're deader than someone between a Mama Bear, a Papa Wolf, and their child.
    • Similarly, Future Shego learned the hard way that forcing his family to move away and keep him from Kim was a very bad idea. Even worse than destroying Bueno Nacho.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Relating to the above, there's a reason why Warmonga and Warhok are the only villains in the show explicitly confirmed to be Killed Off for Real.
  • Big Brother Instinct: He's an only child for a long time, but when his parents adopt his little sister Hana, Ron grows extremely attached despite starting off by refering to her as "the intruder".
  • Big Eater: And taken to extremes during "Grande Size Me".
  • Butt Monkey: Arguably.
  • Catch Phrase: "Sick and wrong!", "Booyah!!", "That would be so cool if that wasn't-gonna hurt us/be the last thing we ever see!"
  • Childhood Friend Romance: With Kim.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: As of the series finale, when he saves Kim by using his monkey powers.
  • Cute Shotaro Boy: He used to be one, as shown in flashbacks.
  • The Cutie: A rare male example at times.
  • Cloudcuckoolander
  • Defense Mechanism Superpower: From the moment he got his Mystical Monkey Powers, they came and went in times of dire situations. It was even lampshaded in "Team Impossible". It wasn't until the moment where Kim was in mortal danger that he managed to achieve complete control over it.
  • Dumb Blonde: Downplayed. He’s adorably naive, but he can be surprisingly smart.
  • Evil Is Dumb: Subverted. Both times the Attitudinator alters Ron to the Dark Side, he is extremely effective. To put it in perspective, Shego actually respects him.
  • Funny Bruce Lee Noises: Most of his attempts at martial arts (except for a few occasions when his Mystical Monkey Power comes to the fore).
  • Genre Savvy: Ron is just as aware of villain clichés as Kim. Sometimes he even points out that they should have expected some of the things the villains do. When he goes evil, this carries over.
  • Hair of Gold
  • Heroes Want Redheads: Kim, of course.
  • Informed Judaism: Mentioned in show a few times, most notably in "Ron the Man". But the bit about not mixing meat and dairy obviously didn't take. He's probably not that serious with his religion.
  • In-Series Nickname: He becomes known as "Unstoppable Stoppable" in Ill-Suited, when he cheats his way onto the football team, becoming the star quarter-back, using Kim's battlesuit. The name sticks when he begins playing honestly as the team's running-back. Due to the "mad running away skills" he aquired through years of encounters with supervillains and deathtraps, none of the other players can catch him.
  • Lampshade Hanging: Ron has a tendency to do this often.
  • The Lancer: Kim's second in command (out of three) and Foil.
  • Like Brother and Sister: He has this dynamic with Monique. It turns out they have a surprising amount of things in common. Monique did wish that he would help her with their science project though.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Feminine Boy to Kim's Masculine Girl.
  • Mighty Whitey: He's the Mystical Monkey Master, an evidently Eastern style of kung fu/magic. He's a white American. Also parodied as the other ninjas are more skilled than him in the normal style while he always losses his pants.
  • Nice Jewish Boy: Though "nice" is a bit of an understatement.
  • Non-Action Guy: Except on occasions. Averted completely at the end of the Grand Finale.
  • Oblivious to Love: He's... not particularly observant of when females have a clear attraction to him. He didn't realise Tara liked him until after she was dating Josh and only because Kim told him. He didn't realise Yori liked him in that way until after their final meeting in the third season when she kissed him on the cheek and again, because Kim told him. And as for Kim herself... well, the way she put it was that it took him "twelve stinkin' years" just to kiss her.
  • One of the Girls: He gets along well with the Middleton cheering squad…with the unfortunate exception of Bonnie.
  • Plucky Comic Relief
  • Properly Paranoid: Believe it or not, some of his kooky paranoid theories are actually viable.
  • Punny Name: "Unstoppable".
  • Running Gag: His pants keep getting ripped off during missions. Also, Drakken has a hard time remembering his name.
    • Not just Drakken: almost all recurring villains regularly fail to remember his name. Only the Señors, Gill, and Monkey Fist remember his name, with the Señors still failing in one occasion.
  • Screams Like a Little Girl: Though he insists that they're manly screams of courage.
  • Sidekick
  • Sidekick Graduations Stick: It's pretty obvious that after his incredible heroics in the Grand Finale that he becomes a full-fledged partner to Kim. What makes it really amusing is that the episode in question was known as 'Graduation'.
  • Spanner in the Works: If there's a plan, expect Ron Stoppable to ruin it, especially if you're a bad guy.
    • This trope is even lampshaded in an episode by calling it "The Ron Factor." Later subverted when the real cause is identified as "The Rufus Factor."
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad
  • Super Mode / Took a Level in Badass: In the Grand Finale. Although one could argue that it's a step up that he's been cultivating since the fourth season started.
  • Super-Powered Evil Side: Good lord, yes, he's... frightening, and crazy and awesome!!! BOOYAHAHAHAHA!!!!
  • Supreme Chef: So good he takes over the school's cafetria.
  • This Loser Is You: "An underachiever, a social outcast, who smells of overripe fruit." That's the pink sloth.
    • Subverted in Season 4; he ends up becoming a Record-Setting Running Back and Homecoming King. Yet Bonnie STILL thinks of him as a loser, even after she's crowned Homecoming Queen (and probably still does even after Graduation).
  • Took a Level In Dumbass: He moves from Book Dumb and unmotivated in earlier seasons to several moments of nearly Too Dumb to Live in the latter seasons.
    • And as shown in A Sitch in Time, he was smarter as a four-year-old.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Bueno Nacho.
  • Unlucky Everydude: At least until Season 4, his parents almost never seem to be around, their approach to moving to Norway or adopting a baby is to present him with the outcome, he can never get a date, he's constantly picked on and considered a loser (despite being the valued Sidekick to a world-saving heroine), and is the ne'er-do-well sidekick to the main character. This seems to act in his favor occasionally.
  • Why Did It Have To Be Monkeys?: Due to a rather traumatic experience at camp when he was young.

Rufus

Voiced by: Nancy Cartwright.

Rufus is Ron's beloved pet. Much like Ron serves as a sidekick to Kim, Rufus himself serves as a sidekick to Ron. Ron could only have a hairless pet on account of his father's allergies, so he purchased Rufus, a naked mole rat, instead of the sphinx that he swore was evil (which may or may not be in the possession of Camille Leon). He lives most of the time in either Ron's pocket or his locker at school, and was first introduced to Kim on their first major mission, where she pronounced him "gross but useful."

  • Badass Adorable: Though he’s a bit of an ugly cute case.
  • Colossus Climb: Rufus occasionally pulls this off against human targets, but the creators are careful to avoid overusing it.
  • Fastball Special
  • Funny Animal: As funny as Ron even.
  • Hypercompetent Sidekick: Ron wouldn't be nearly as much of an asset to Kim if it weren't for Rufus. Ron himself can be a huge asset, however.
  • Meaningful Name: A Sitch in Time shows the audience that Rufus was named after Ron's imaginary friend from early childhood.
    • Out-of-universe, his name was inspired by the Rufous-beaked snake, a natural predator of the naked mole rat.
  • Non-Human Sidekick: He might not technically be human, but Ron and himself are a lot alike.
  • Shipper on Deck: When Ron shows interest in any girl other than Kim, Rufus makes a noise of disgust. Any scenes with Ron and Kim together, however, get the animal to make an "aww" sound.
    • He even helped them get over their nervousness of their first date by pushing them towards each other so they could dance.
  • Team Pet

Wade

Voiced by: Tahj Mowry/ Michael Clarke Duncan (Future Wade)

A 10-year old genius who provides Kim with all of her information, missions and gadgets. Rarely ever seen away from his computer or out of his room. He does Take a Level In Badass in A Sitch In Time as an adult.

Villains

Dr. Drakken

Voiced by: John Dimaggio

Along with Shego, a recurring villain for all four seasons, so we learn a lot about him.

  • Angrish: On at least one occasion, prompting Shego to cut him off with "Dr. D! You've stopped using words."
  • Bad Boss: Inverted, he has a bad employee.
  • Butt Monkey
  • Catch Phrase: "You think you're all that, Kim Possible! But you're not!" Adapted to each situation, such as "You think your car is all that..."
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: When Aviarius captures Kim, Shego and the rest of Team Go, Wade calls Dr. Drakken for help. Drakken, who's usually Too Dumb to Live when it comes to being effective, shows up with one very serious attack robot and says, 'I was told Shego was in trouble! WHERE IS THIS AVIARIUS?!'
  • Ditzy Genius: He's often clueless about matters other than mad science. One particularly extreme example: when he tried to avenge himself on the classmates who had mocked him in college, it never occurred to him that James Possible might be somehow connected to his nemesis Kim Possible.
  • Don't Tell Mama: Drakken has his mother completely fooled about what it is he really does.
  • Easily Forgiven: Exactly why Shego works for him at all is something of a mystery, as she could clearly be a much better villain on her own. Why she continues to do so after the numerous times he double-crossed her is a much bigger mystery.
  • Embarrassing Middle Name: Drew Theodore Lipsky (heck all of them). Hey you'd turn evil too.
  • Enemy Mine: On a few occasions, he's been forced to join forces with the good guys.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas
  • Everyone Went to School Together: He turns out to have been a friend of Kim's father in college, and apparently, the mocking of his friends was his Start of Darkness.
  • Evil Is Dumb: Unlike the Ron example, this is played painfully straight and lampshaded every time he appears.
  • Genre Blindness
  • Green Thumb: In the Grand Finale, Drakken gains the powers of a Plant Person due to being exposed to a Super Plant Serum of his own creation. Surprisingly, this transformation gives him a major badass boost, provided you ignore the adorable flower petals that grow out of his neck!
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: He's got a rather sinister one under his left eye.
  • Harmless Villain: comes and goes. Sometimes he's planning to destroy the world; sometimes he's a joke. Sometimes he tries to zap Kim with a Death Ray, or drop her in lava; sometimes he doesn't even try to hurt Kim, only to keep her occupied with traps or his sidekick Shego.
  • Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: The main reason he's trying to conquer the world is to prove he's a genius. No one believes it, especially not Shego. Except for his Fan, Frugal Lucre.
  • Kick the Dog: Stealing a wheelchair from a disabled teenager just because it has advanced technology? Seriously, Dr. D?
  • Laughably Evil: Though when he gets his act together, he reminds us why he's the series' Big Bad.
  • Mad Scientist: Unlike James Possible..
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Feminine Boy to Shego's Masculine Girl.
  • Minion Shipping: With Shego.
  • Noodle Incident: His turning blue which is never really explained. The one time he was willing to talking about it was at the end of the final episode and it ends before he can go into detail.
  • Personality Swap: In the episode "Bad Boy", this happens to Drakken, who ends up making 'Cocomoo' and Cookies for his henchmen. Meanwhile, Ron is trying to conquer the world with Shego, and he seems to be pretty good at it.
  • Red Herring: Blue Herring in this case. He was assumed to be the Surpreme One from A Sitch in Time, but it was actually Shego. She wasn’t far off though.
  • Shadow Archetype: Dr. Drakken represents what James Possible would be if he decided to use science for evil instead of good. For example, while James Possible was apparently well-respected by his peers, they weren't willing to consider any of Dr. Drakken's inventions, which likely led to him becoming a villain.
  • Shirtless Scene: In the movie A Sitch In Time, Drakken (who has transformed into a hulking brute) rips his shirt while fighting Kim. Also, in the episode Rappin' Drakken, he walks around in only a towel and shower cap and is shirtless when lathering his hair in the commercial for his 'Lather, Rinse, and Obey' shampoo. Whether these are Fan Service or Nightmare Fuel depends on the viewer.
  • Super Villain
  • Take Over the World: The usual goal of his Evil Plans
  • Terrible Artist
  • Took a Level in Badass: On three occasions. The first was in the movie A Sitch In Time, when he goes from wimpy to bulky. The second time was in the other movie So the Drama where he proved he's Not So Harmless a villain. Finally, in the Grand Finale Graduation, Drakken develops plant powers that are so strong, they can crush advanced alien technology.
  • Totally Radical: Occasionally uses teen slang, for which he's mocked by Shego.
  • Unknown Rival: Drakken is irritated and jealous whenever he's reminded that Professor Dementor has a bigger reputation as a potential world-conquering Mad Scientist. For his part, Dementor seems to regard Drakken as a second-rate wannabe.

Shego

Voiced by: Nicole Sullivan

More entries than anyone else! Her role was first expanded when the creators realised how well Drakken and Shego interacted, and as the show progressed writers often found it more interesting to put Kim and Shego on the same side instead of fighting each other.

Hego: The more we fought evil, the more Shego liked it.
Ron: The fighting?
Kim: The evil.

  • Future Badass: As if she wasn't Badass enough already, she actually conquers the world in A Sitch In Time.
  • Gold Digger: She displayed this behavior in "The Mentor of our Discontent" with Martin Smarty at the end of the episode. Until she found out he had a teenage son, that is, at which point she quickly leaves.
  • Green Eyes
  • Hand Blast
  • Hello, Nurse!: She has gained this reaction (repeatedly) from Motor Ed and (briefly) Martin Smarty. Ron also has this reaction to her in the first episode, of course this was before he actually met her.
  • Hot Amazon: Ed was still in love with her after being zapped.
  • Hypercompetent Sidekick: Without her, Drakken is mostly useless.
  • Jumping Out of a Cake: When Junior mentions his father's upcoming birthday as his reason for breaking Shego out of prison, she apparently gets the wrong idea of what he wants.
  • Like Brother and Sister: It’s not wrong to consider Shego and Junior to be this.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Masculine Girl to Drakken's Feminine Boy. Both are short-tempered, however.
  • Minion Shipping: With Drakken.
  • Not So Above It All: She too provokes the Puppet Pals…and suffers the consequences. Dr. Drakken was not wrong to try to warn her about Mr. Sitdown, the Puppet Pals’ protector.
    • She's pretty cheerful when she talks about Drakken getting a kung-fu wedgie.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: She even goes as far as to save Kim's life TWICE.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Her appearance as "Miss Wobakoff" consists of her wearing a blonde wig and form-fitting bright green dress. In spite of her pale green skin it's enough to fool Martin Smarty (whose life she had previously threatened). Then again, her job at the time was to distract him, so it seems she did her job well. Very well.
  • Perpetual Frowner: She’s typically seen frowning, though she may change into a smile if she’s having fun at someone else’s expense.
  • Pet the Dog: Junior. She genuinely tried to help him, she was at least less sarcastic than usual at the idea of him breaking her out of prison to help with a crime, and she even gets mopey about not doing the job together.
  • Prodigal Family: Has four brothers that also have powers like her, and when Shego was good they were a team called 'Team Go'.
  • Punch Clock Villain: She spends most of her time reading villain magazines or even lounging at spas when not assigned a task. She even has weekends and holidays off in a few episodes.
  • Retcon: The original character concept was that her plasma power was a function of her gloves. The episode "Go Team Go" gave her an origin story in which she (and her brothers) got inherent superpowers from a meteorite.
  • Riddle for the Ages: At the end of "Stop Team Go", Shego - who has been turned good due to the attitudinator - tells Kim that "I couldn't tell you this while I was evil, but -" and then her true personality is restored by the malfunctioning attitudinator, which is then crushed. Exactly what she was planning to tell Kim may never be known.
  • Sarcastic Devotee: She may not have a lot of respect for Drakken, but she does stick with him. And she's actually nicer to him in So The Drama when she realizes that he's prepared for Kim Possible this time.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: She has been known to just walk away from some of Drakken's schemes when she feels they have become too much trouble, or simply too stupid, for her tastes.
  • Sickly Green Glow: Her suit is green to match her glow. When she temporarily stole her brothers' powers in "Go Team Go", her suit changes color to match the power she was using at the moment.
  • Sidekick: To Drakken.
  • The Slacker: Her life revolves around entertaining herself by sunbathing, filing her nails, mocking Drakken and occasionally spending quality time with Kim (for this reason, she's not what many would consider an ideal employee). But she could be much more.

Rufus 3000: Wasn't it clear that Shego was the only one smart enough to take over the world?
Joss: I mean, I know Dr. Drakken is your arch foe, but it seems to me Shego's the really dangerous one. I mean, if she put her mind to do it, she could be the toughest villain out there, don't you think?

  • Still Wearing the Old Colors: Even after quitting to become a villain, she wears her Team Go superhero outfit.
  • Super Strength: While super strength is her brother’s portfolio, she too is shown to be super strong. Using Hego’s power does make things slightly easier for her though, it seems.
  • Super Villain
  • Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
  • Terms of Endangerment: Constantly addresses Kim with cute nicknames, which can be interpreted as either dismissive or affectionate.
  • Vague Age
    • Not really. The creators have stated that she's in her mid 20s and she more or less looks and acts like it.
    • It's been stated that she is 23 in seasons 1-3, which would make her around 25 by season 4.
      • Which makes one wonder how old Drakken is. Probably around Kim's Dad age.
  • When She Smiles: Shego is far from unattractive under any circumstances, but almost selectively prone to frowning, smirking and psychotic rage. Once in a while though, in a state of confusion, guilt... or mind control, she'll break out a nervous, unguarded smile. The expression is utterly disarming and adorable on so many levels, specifically because you know how much of a bitch she really is. Of course, it's even cuter when immediately followed up by a heated outburst.
  • Worthy Opponent: While she won't admit it out loud, she grudgingly regards Kim as this.

Professor Dementor

Voiced by: Patton Oswalt

Ein Deutsch Big Bad who, like Dr. Drakken, iz hell-bent on taking over ze VORLD! However, hiz technology, henchmen and intelligence are generally better zan zat of Dr. Drakken. Because of zis, zey rival each other INTENSELY! Unfortunately, hiz brilliant planz are often foiled by Kim Possible (much like Dr. Drakken's) so ze audience never sees hiz TRUE POTENTIAL! And in case you vere vondering, he speaks just like zis, and raises hiz voice at ze end of SENTENCES!

Monkey Fist

Voiced by: Tom Kane

  • Adorable Evil Minions: The monkey ninjas!
  • Adventurer Archaeologist: Before he became a supervillain, anyway.
  • Arrogant Kung Fu Guy
  • Arch Enemy: He's more Ron's personal enemy than Kim's, because of Ron got an infusion of the Mystical Monkey Power he'd intended to seize for himself.
  • Animal-Themed Superbeing
  • Aristocrats Are Evil: He's a British Lord complete with castle.
  • Catch Phrase: "Monkey ninjas attack!"
  • Child-Hater: In "Monkey Ninjas in Space," he does not get along very well with the children he holds hostage.
  • Everything's Better with Monkeys
  • Evil All Along: In his first episode, he's just Lord Montgomery Fiske, and Kim even helps him recover the Mc Guffins he needs to get Mystical Monkey Power.
  • Evil Brit
  • Evil Laugh: His is especially distinctive, sounding like a screeching monkey.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Maintains the facade of the British gentleman, but is arguably the nastiest of the recurring villains.
  • I Know Kung Faux: He is a master of Tai Shing Pek Kwar, otherwise known as Monkey Kung Fu.
  • Leitmotif: The theme that heralded his presence was one of the most memorable used for the show; it was a little harpsichord melody in a minor key. Very classy indeed.
  • Maniac Monkeys
  • Red Right Hand: Had monkey hands and feet grafted onto him by DNAmy.
  • Significant Anagram: His real name is Montgomery Fiske, or Monty for short. His villain name is an anagram of his real name.
  • Taken for Granite: His final play for the Mystical Monkey Power ended up getting him turned into a statue. The very last scene of the series indicates that he didn't get better.
  • Wild Mass Guessing: The butler he had in his first episode never reappears, leading many to speculate whether or not he may have outlived his usefulness.
    • The butler might have resigned after learning the mystic monkey powers were real.
    • Or, since it was stated Monty Fiske squandered his family's fortune for the artifacts needed to obtain mystic monkey powers, Monkey Fist simply became unable to afford the luxury of having a servant.

Señor Senior Senior

Voiced by: Ricardo Montalban/ Earl Boen

  • Affably Evil
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Even more so than the other villains on the show, since for him it's just a hobby and he cares more about doing it right than about actually pulling off a successful Evil Plan.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: A club for rich people banned him for publicly getting into fights with a teenage girl and he tried to get even by freezing the club and all its members. He even explained Junior villains are supposed to fit the trope.
  • Eccentric Millionaire: He became a supervillain to alleviate his boredom, after Ron pointed out how much his mansion resembled a supervillain lair.
  • Evil Laugh: He even takes time to practice it with Junior.
  • Evil Plan: They gave the 'take over the world' thing a try but are more into smaller scale plans like twearking other rich guys that offend them.
  • Ink Suit Actor: Bears a distinct resemblance to Ricardo Montalban.[1]
  • Island Base
  • The Other Darrin: His voice actor would rotate between Ricardo Montalban and Earl Boen ever since his first appearance in the series.
  • Pet the Dog: He decides not to kill Kim Possible in “The Cupid Effect” (he is a friendly enemy, after all), though there is some pragmatic villainy going on. (He could make Kim Possible fall in love with his son, after all.)
  • Repetitive Name: His son’s name isn’t quite as repetitive by comparison.
  • Xanatos Gambit: As noted above, whether or not any of his plans succeed or not is irrelevant. He's just having fun with the 'Traditional Super Villain' role. Their inevitable failure never bothers him because he can still fullfil that role.

Señor Senior Junior

Voiced by: Nestor Carbonell

DNAmy

Voiced by: Melissa McCarthy

  • Abhorrent Admirer: In her first appearance, she drove Mr. Barkin to distraction with her unwanted attentions.
  • Affably Evil: Seriously, she talks so sweetly in all her appearances that her actions really come off as rather creepy. She ironically refers to Kim as a meanie.
  • The Collector of the Strange: Collects Cuddle Buddies…like Kim herself.
  • Lego Genetics
  • Mad Scientist: Having said that, it turns out making cute mutants was a better idea than making nasty ones, contrary to what Drakken thought. Cute ones are far more controllable. Though Naked Mole Barkin wasn’t cute.
  • Mix-and-Match Critters: Her minions are full-sized living Cuddle Buddies.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Toward Monkey Fist.

Gill

A bully from Ron’s past…who became a swamp monster.

  • The Bus Came Back: In “Return to Wannaweep”.
  • Karmic Transformation: In a way, he always was a swamp monster.
  • Swamp Monster: Surprisingly, he turns out to be a human.
  • The Virus: His goo is suitable for more than just restraining people. He can also use it to mutate others. Prolonged exposure is needed though.
  • Tragic Monster: Subverted, he made fun of Ron for not wanting to swim in water that showed signs of being contaminated…and it took prolonged exposure besides. And he eventually decides to become a monster again.

Duff Killigan

Voiced by: Brian George

Motor Ed

Voiced by: John Dimaggio

A junkyard guy and Drakken's cousin. Seriously.

  • Air Guitar: He lives on this trope. Seriously.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Constantly hits on Shego, and is impervious to hints (up to and including plasma blasts) that she wants nothing to do with him. Seriously.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: He may sound like a total goofball, but he's very competent at building things. Seriously.
  • Ink Suit Actor: His character design is based on John Dimaggio's looks and personality. Seriously.
  • Love At First Sight: Attempts to invoke this on Shego when he first meets her. Shego, of course, rejects the idea completely in her own unique way. Which only seems to make him like her even more. Seriously.

Motor Ed: So, uh... do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again? Because I'll totally walk by again, if I have to. Seriously.
Shego: Mhmm, mhmm. Walk and... keep walking! *cue plasma blast*
Motor Ed: *after recovering from being blasted into a wall* Man, do I dig a woman who can scrap! I think I'm in loooove! *cue Air Guitar*

Frugal Lucre

Voiced by: Richard Kind

Dr. Drakken's annoying Cell Block D cellmate, who once fought Kim Possible. Often drives him nuts. Ironically, Lucre is driven nuts when Motor Ed replaces Drakken in his cell.

  • Basement Dweller: He avoids the expense of maintaining a lair by living in his mom's basement.
  • The Bus Came Back: He returns in Season 4…as we said, he’s Dr. Drakken’s cellmate.
  • Do Not Adjust Your Set: His first scheme was to go on all channels and broadcast a demand that everyone send him a dollar, or else he'd destroy the internet.
  • Loony Fan: To Dr. Drakken.
  • Motor Mouth: Drives Drakken to distraction when the two of them share a cell for the first part of the Post Script Season.
  • Wig, Dress, Accent: He tried to hide his identity behind a fake accent and beard in his first appearance.
  • You Get What You Pay For: His cheapskate ways make him even more unthreatening than most of the Rogues Gallery. For instance, he has to settle for threatening Kim and Ron with a kiddie pool full of snapping turtles rather than something more intimidating.
    • Then again his plot of using a tampered barcode to infect the net with a virus was rather genius in itself despite working on a shoestring budget.

Camille Leon

Voiced by: Ashley Tisdale

An heiress who's very well known around the celebrity circuit. However she's revealed to be a shape-shifter (via an experimental surgery) who steals to fund her lifestyle. She only shows up in season 4.

Adrena Lynn

Voiced by: Rachel Dratch

A TV actor known for her death-defying stunts. But turned to a villainy after being exposed as a fraud.

  • Blondes Are Evil
  • Catch Phrase: "Freaky!"
  • Miles Gloriosus: Puts on a flashy spectacle to make herself look good but faked all her stunts. When put in a real death-defying situation, she admitted her cowardice.
  • One-Shot Character
  • Punny Name: Adrena Lynn->Adrenaline
  • What Could Have Been: She was meant to have a longer role in the series, as she appeared in a lot of promotional material before the show aired. But apparently wasn't popular with the fans and wasn't used again save a cameo in the final episode and a video game in the series's final years.

Warhok and Warmonga

Voiced by: Ron Perlman (Warhok)
Kristen Johnston (Warmonga)

Two giant green-skinned Lorwardian fighters, who appear to have the same goals as Dr. Drakken/Shego/Dementor, except they seem much more intent on fulfilling them (and destroying Earth in the process).

Warhok: Come Warmonga, we will take this one as a trophy. She will look handsome mounted beside your Thorgoggle spine.

Shego: (looking up at Warmonga) Wow! Someone's been drinking their milk.

Kim's Family

Doctor James Timothy Possible (a.k.a. Mr. Dr. P.)

Voiced by: Gary Cole

A brilliant Rocket scientist who works for the government, he is often busy but a devoted & over protective father, but only when boys are involved.

"I'm just glad Kimmie's lost in Time and not fooling around with boys!"

Doctor Anne Possible (a.k.a. Mrs. Dr. P.)

Voiced by: Jean Smart

Kim's equally devoted mother, Anne, is a neurosurgeon and like her husband, is rarely seen out of her lab coat. She's a bit more understanding of her daughter's love life and can usually be found also cooking dinner.

  • A Day in the Limelight: She joins Kim on a mission in the episode "Mother's Day".
  • Blue Eyes
  • Doting Parent: To her own three kids and also to Ron.
  • Fiery Redhead
  • Happily Married: To Mr. Dr. P.
  • Hospital Hottie
  • Hot Mom: You can tell where Kim got her looks from. Though it isn’t wrong to consider Kim to be cute and not just beautiful.
  • Hot Scientist: A brain surgeon.
  • Older Than They Look: Drakken mistakes her for Kim's sister in 'Mother's Day'
  • Open-Minded Parent: Like Kim's Dad, Mrs. Dr. P doesn't bat an eye at Kim's life-threatening antics, so long as they’re for a good cause.
  • Opposites Attract: While it’s not hard to see why James and Anne are married, James’ speciality is technology and hers is neuroscience.
  • Not That Kind of Doctor: Inverted - she is a neurosurgeon.
  • Shipper on Deck: The series implies that she's been fond of the idea of Kim and Ron as a couple for some time. Notably in Emotion Sickness, she is overjoyed when Ron comes to pick Kim up for their "date". And later, in So The Drama, she tries persuading Kim that going to prom with Ron wouldn't be so bad, seems to be the only one to notice his hurt feelings about Kim and Eric during dinner, and on the night of the actual prom, she looks sad when her gaze falls on a picture of a younger Kim and Ron together, whilst Kim is being taken by Eric.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: She's a dead ringer for her daughter, just with shorter hair and blue eyes.
  • Unnamed Parent: Didn't get her name until 'Graduation'; "Anne Possible"

Jim and Tim Possible (a.k.a. the Tweebs)

Voiced by: Shaun Fleming (pre-voice break)/ Spencer Fox (post-voice break)/ Freddie Prince Jr. (Future Tweebs)

James (Jim) and Timothy (Tim) Possible, Kim's younger twin brothers, were chiefly background characters until the fourth season, when they were promoted to high school. Kim refers to them as being the natural result of a rocket scientist having children with a brain surgeon.

  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Times two. Or squared. They get better as they grow older, though.
  • Catch Phrase: "Hicka bicka boo?" "Hoo sha!"
  • Gadgeteer Genius: They're the ones who soup up Kim's car in Season 4, and have put together serious high tech. To quote one noodle incident in Team Impossible:

Jim: We're making anti-matter in the garage!

Nana Possible

Kim's grandmother. Portrayed as a usually sweet old lady. But, as Drakken reveals, she has had her fair share of adventure back in her younger days.

  • Never Mess with Granny: Granted she was mind controlled at the time, but she is shown to still have some moves.
  • Not So Different: Kim discovers that they have a surprising amount of things in common, though they have disagreements as to whether she should bare her midriff or not.
  • Retired Badass

Joss Possible

Kim's cousin via her dad's brother, Slim. Joss' only appearance was in 'Showdown at Crooked D' were it was shown that she had come down with a major case of hero worship for Kim, which ends up transplanted to Ron at the end.


Others

Bonnie Rockwaller

Voiced by: Kirsten Storms/ Kelly Ripa (Future Bonnie)

Kim's rival on the cheer squad and the resident Alpha Bitch for the show, Bonnie is usually the antagonist as far as Kim's high school career goes. She eventually hooks up with Junior in Homecoming Upset.

  • Alpha Bitch: What makes Bonnie more irritating and hated than any of Kim's adversaries. Villains like Drakken and Shego are hard to come by, but unless you live a very charming life, you have met or will meet Bonnie in any environment.
  • The Cheerleader: The "snobbish and nasty" version.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: Her mom calls her "Bon-Bon", which Ron likes to call her that. Especially in fanfics.
  • Freudian Excuse: While its not elaborated upon, one episode shows that she has two older sisters who constantly mock her. Thus her attitude is either trying to live up to their expectations or vent her frustrations.
  • Gold Digger: In "Ron The Millionaire". When his money is gone by the end of the episode, she quickly dumps him. At least she's honest about it.

Bonnie: Ron Stoppable, you are such a hottie!
Ron: Are you just saying that because I'm rich?
Bonnie: Uh-huh.
Ron: Cool!

  • Hate Sink: The audience cannot hate any of Kim's villains due to them falling into the laughably evil category, but they can hate Bonnie because more people are likely to encounter people like her in Real Life.
  • I Fight for the Strongest Side: Or rather enforce the will of the world leader as shown in A Stitch in Time where her future self is teaching a class to brainwash and de-moralize the populace.
  • Jerkass: Especially to Ron, even after she kissed him out of jealously to Kim and her break up with Brick Flagg. She likely STILL see him as a loser despite defeating the Lorwardians in Graduation. Then again no one really cares what she thinks as shown in at the end of So The Drama when she starts laughing at Kim and Ron getting together before the whole prom actually cheers in acknowledgement.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She has her moments. Though she never seems to grow out of the "jerk" part.
    • The entire "Bonding" episode is pretty much this.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: At the end of Graduation, Barkin informs her that she has to take summer school. Why? She skipped the last few days of school.
  • Make Way for the Princess
  • Rich Bitch: Not really rich, but definitely a bitch.
  • The Rival: To Kim.
  • Sitcom Arch Nemesis: She's a constant recurring annoyance in the "basic, average girl" aspect of Kim's life.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: When the Bebes kidnapped her to make her their queen after overhearing Kim talk about her. After Kim manages to save her. She just scoffs a "Finally" and blames Kim for the whole mess even if it was unintentional.

Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable

Ron's parents.

Mr. Barkin

Voiced by: Patrick Warburton

The teacher who seems to be in charge of every class at Middleton High.

  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: The "Coach Nasty" variant, which also carries over to his gruff classroom manner. He's a veteran, and presumably had the same no-nonsense demeanor while in the service.
  • Gosh Dang It to Heck
  • Hidden Depths: In season 4, he offhandedly mentions his high-school years...which are strangely identical to Ron's, including the saving the world part.
    • It's probably why he's always tough on Ron.
  • Last-Name Basis: He gruffly addresses students by last name, and is almost always addressed by his last name (though in a few situations someone uses his first name "Steve").
  • Noodle Incident: The teachers at Middleton High are constantly sidelined by some odd event or other, leaving Mr. Barkin to fill in for them.
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: Barkin occasionally freaks out when thrust into a crisis.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Barkin's father looks just like him. He also echoes Barkin's omnipresence by doing every job in a living-history village.
  • Two-Teacher School: Except for the Miss Go episode, Barkin is in charge of every class and activity we see.

Monique

Voiced by: Raven-Symone/Vivica A. Fox (Future Monique)

Kim's best friend besides Ron, she is smart and hip and always available to provide level-headed advice for Kim. She is very fashionable and works at Club Banana. Occasionally Monique would join Kim on her missions but lacked the skill needed to be a competent sidekick.

Sensei

Voiced by: George Takei

Headmaster of the Yamanouchi Ninja School, Sensei is introduced in Exchange, going into more detail on Ron's mystic monkey powers. He is a wise character who dispenses advise and is more than capable of holding his own.

  • Badass Grandpa: He only cuts loose in two of his appearances, but when he does, he takes out a huge Samurai Guerilla by effortlessly blocking the blows with his hands, and takes it down with his sandal put the foot. He also takes on Yono with magic, but that didn't work so well...
  • Taken for Granite: Like Kim, Sensei temporarily suffers this at the hands of Yono; but, like Kim, he gets better.
  • Wizard Beard: He spots a more belivable version, which only goes down to around his midsection; still pretty long though.

Yori

Voiced by: Keiko Agena

Student at the Yamanouchi Ninja School, she is also introduced in "Exchanged". She shows attraction to Ron, inciting Kim's jealously a couple of times.

Team Impossible

Team Impossible is a group of three highly trained high-danger operatives who were in it for the cash. A client trying to contact them via their web site accidentally hit "k" before entering the address "impossible.com", resulting in Kim getting the call intended for them and undertaking her first heroic mission. They were content for the first three seasons to let Kim "have her fun", but they finally appear in the flesh during the episode "Team Impossible", in which they suborn Kim's rides, leaving her unable to get to her missions, in an effort to squeeze her out of hero work. They are eventually forced by Team Possible to stop interfering with them, and to join Global Justice.

  • Alliterative Name: The three members of the team are Dash Daman, Crash Cranston, and Burn Burnmen.
  • Badass Normal: All three of them lack superpowers, and are, in a sense, adult, male, mercenary versions of Kim and really, Team Possible in general, using gadgets and an arsenal of kung-fu.
  • Bald Black Leader Guy: Dash Daman
  • Curb Stomp Battle: This summerizes what happens when the three try to prevent Kim's antics by ending her adventures; forever.
  • Genius Bruiser: Burn Burnmen is a highly certified accountant, but numbers aren't the only thing he crunches.
  • Lampshade Hanging: Dash asks Ron why his Monkey Kung Fu isn't manifesting.
  • Jumped Off the Slippery Slope: These guys did this by basically forcing Kim out of hero work because she cut into their profit margins, because she does it for free (and occasionally asks for help to later missions). They also go from simply giving her a stern warning to trying to permenantly end her adventures.
  • Missed the Call: Kim's first adventure was rescuing someone who tried to contact Team Impossible but reached her website instead.
  • Punch Clock Hero: They're mercenaries; they're not in it to help people, just to get paid. You don't pay, you don't get help.
  • Kick the Dog: They zap a moviegoer who refused to leave with a "Fork" when they try to intimidate Kim. The kid paid $9.75 to see the movie.

Dr. Director

Voiced by: Felicity Huffman

Chief of Global Justice, who occasionally recruits Kim to help with a case and is interested in learning the secret to her success.
