James Isaac "Jimmy" Neutron (voiced by Debi Derryberry) is a fictional character in the TV series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and the movie Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. He is the main and the title character of both the movie and the TV series.
He is named after scientist Isaac Newton, and James Chadwick who was nicknamed "Jimmy Neutron" for his discovery of the neutron.
Jimmy Neutron sports a disproportionately large head which he needs to house his large brain and his I.Q. of 302, which is higher than anybody on Earth. In many episodes, his classmates are angered because of his intelligence. 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 two other episodes. Jimmy's intellect stem from his mother, the rare and/or the Neutron family genius gene.[citation needed]
His intelligence allows him to invent devices that accomplish even the impossible.His inventions rarely function as intended, 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 three scenes from the early parts of the episode. Jimmy will then shout, "Brain Blast!" and arrive at the solution for whatever crisis he's set up. In the third season, he seems to stop Brain Blasting and comes up with ideas right away.[citation needed] Although things seem to work out, not all Jimmy's science is actually correct. For example in one episode he goes into Carl to retrieve a mitochondria from a virus, but mitochondria is part of a cell, not of a virus. Sometimes Jimmy may put facts together in ways that make no sense.
Jimmy's wardrobe consists almost exclusively of red t-shirts that sport his trademark symbol of electrons circling a nucleus. He also wears blue jeans and white Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars.
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 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.Jimmy has a crush on Betty Quinlan and Cindy Vortex; Betty stops being his love interest later on in place of Cindy.Best friends
Carl Wheezer and Sheen Estevez accompany Jimmy on nearly all of his adventures. Carl is obsessed with lamas and secretly in love with Judy Neutron; Sheen is obsessed with a toy franchise named Ultra-lord. Normally, they play the foils to Jimmy's genius and sometimes solve the episode's crisis with some innocent or insane observation. Lots of times Jimmy's ("friends") Carl and Sheen also betray him. Such as the episode (Carl Wheezer Boy Genius. Carl betrayed Jimmy into getting his Swedish girlfriend. Other times, they merely cause the trouble. Sheen's name is thought to be a play on half-brothers Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez, both of whom appeared in movies directed by John Hughes.
Cindy Vortex
Cindy Vortex is Jimmy's long-time intellectual rival, equal, and secret love. 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", making fun of him and his friends, pulling pranks on them, and pointing out Jimmy's many mistakes and shortcomings.
Throughout the course of the series, viewers observe 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 less often. She makes several attempts to get his attention such as in the episode "King of Mars". Jimmy shows his strong attraction to Cindy, staring at her often with a dreamy look in his eyes, and tries 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 kisses Cindy at the end of the episode. In the Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Odd Parents crossover episodes, Jimmy's love for Cindy is more public, partly due to Timmy competing for her attention.
Libby Folfax
Libby is Cindy Vortex's best girl friend in the show. She loves Hip Hop which is seen in a lot of episodes. She is the love interest of Sheen who always tries to get her attention. She may have the same feelings for him. In the episode "Crouching Jimmy, Hidden Sheen" she refers to herself as his girlfriend, but only to inspire him to fight an enemy. She is also in a lot of the later episodes the ally of Jimmy, Sheen and Carl. She isn't as mean to Jimmy and the guys as Cindy is though both love to tease them every once in a while.
Enemies
Jimmy encounters some diabolical villains in his show. These include the Yolkians, a race of egg-chicken related aliens, Professor Finbarr Calamitous, an evil genius who can never finish anything, the rich young snob Eustace Strytch, his evil genius cousin Baby Eddie and Beautiful Gorgeous, a 60s secret agent style femme fatale, among others. He also has an evil clone which is stuck in another dimension. The majority of the show's villains exhibit a comical element or have bizarre personality traits.
