Background

Jimmy is an 11-year-old genius inventor but his inventions seem to cause more destruction than anything and it is usually up to him to stop them. He lives in fictional Retroville, with his robotic dog, Goddard named after Robert H. Goddard (a pioneer in modern rocketry), his father Hugh, a bumbling car salesman and duck-lover, and his mother, Judy. Goddard is one of the few inventions of Jimmy Neutron that actually works perfectly. ...

Jimmy Neutron sports a disproportionately large head which he needs to house his large brain and his I.Q. of 210. In many episodes, his classmates are angered because he is so intelligent. This brain, a source of constant comment, allows him to invent devices that accomplish even the impossible. They rarely function as intended, however, and most often embroil his friends or the entire town in some crisis. In the moment of crisis, he will urge his brain on, saying, "Think, think, think!" whereupon viewers enter Jimmy's ear and go into his brain to observe its inner workings as well as to relive a scene from the early part of the episode. Jimmy will then shout, "Brain Blast!" and arrive at the solution for whatever danger he has landed himself, his friends, or his town in. But in the 3rd season, he seems to stop Brain Blasting and comes up with ideas right away. ...

Jimmy's intellect was assumed to not come from his father's side of the family but from his mother, shown in the episode See Jimmy Run and in a few others. But in the episode, Clash of the Cousins where there is a family reunion, he searches for somebody in his family other than himself with the "genius gene", which turns out to be the toddler Eddie, Jimmy's paternal cousin, who becomes one of Jimmy's enemies in 2 other episodes. Jimmy's intellect may come from his mother or because of the rare Neutron family genius gene or a combination of the two. Intelligence is a general mental capability that involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. ...

Inventions

He has several gum and candy-based inventions, which include "Neutronic air gum" that allows humans dance in a disco like style, gum that allows one to memorize books, and candy that satisfies all the tongue's taste buds. After eating such candy, humans develop a physiological need (addiction) for it.

Many times he creates different types of advanced spaceships with spacebuses, spacebikes, being able to use amusement rides to create some, and finishing with his favorite, the hovercar, which he uses almost frequently.

Personality

Jimmy is shown to be quite irritable around most people, the exception being his friends. He can be friendly at times that he needs or wants to be, but can come off as a smart alec or nerd occasionally. Jimmy's religious beliefs are uncertain. While he celebrates Christmas (as seen in the Christmas special of the series) and other holidays, his scientific interests may point to Agnosticism or Atheism; However, these subjects are rarely touched on the show due to its viewers. Jimmy is quite charming when he least tries to be, such as at the party he throws at his parents' absence in an early episode.

Relationships with other characters

Best friends

Carl Wheezer and Sheen Estevez accompany Jimmy on nearly all of his adventures. Carl is obsessed with llamas, also secretly in love with Judy Neutron, and Sheen is obsessed with Ultralord. They need Jimmy and his inventions to quicken their lives. Normally, they play the foils to Jimmy's genius and sometimes solve the episode's crisis with some innocent or insane observation. Other times, they merely cause the trouble. Carlton Carl Ulysses Wheezer, a fictional character, is one of Jimmy Neutrons friends on the TV series and movie Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. ...

Cindy Vortex

Cindy Vortex is Jimmy's long-time intellectual rival, equal, and secret lover. The two enjoy a classic love-hate relationship which originated prior to the beginning of the movie and the series. Cindy was the smartest kid in Retroville until Jimmy arrived. Cindy resents Jimmy's usurpation of her number one spot. This resentment drives her to prove that she can be just as smart if not smarter than Jimmy. She releases this resentment by mercilessly teasing him and his friends, calling him names such as "Nerdtron", "Spewtron", "King Cranium", etc., making fun of him and his friends, pulling pranks on them, and pointing out Jimmy's many and manifest mistakes and shortcomings. Cynthia Cindy Aurora Vortex, (voiced by Carolyn Lawrence), is a fictional character/villain on the TV series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and movie Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius plays the anti-dumb blonde role. ...

Throughout the course of the series, viewers observe subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) indications that the two do indeed have romantic feelings for each other. Inexplicably, these two harbor an affection for each other despite Cindy's intense competition with Jimmy and Jimmy's frustration with Cindy's conventional instincts and intellect. During seasons two and most notably season three, Cindy comes to terms with her feelings for Jimmy and picks on him and his friends a lot less. She makes several attempts to get his attention. In the episode "King of Mars" we see Jimmy show his strong attraction to Cindy, staring at her often with a dreamy look in his eyes, and trying to distance himself from her by being mean to her. By the end of the episode he confesses that he only pretends to ignore her, and that she distracts him, which is his way of saying that he cares about her. In the episode "Lady Sings the News", Jimmy finally kisses Cindy, much to fans' delight.

Libby Folfax
