Professor XXXL (pronounced Triple Extra-Large) is an insane scientist whose main goal is to create the perfect snowcone. He is very physically large and is constantly afflicted by mutations which give him various animal parts.
History[]
Professor XXXL is not interested in harming children or eliminating the KND; in those episodes which feature him as the main antagonist, he is thought to be carrying out an evil plan by Sector V and is revealed at the end to be doing something harmless. However, he is more than capable of fighting off the KND if they attempt to interfere. This misunderstanding is likely caused by the professor's body language, bombastic behavior and animal parts, which give him the appearance of a villain. The one time he was actually dangerous was in Operation: S.N.O.W.G.L.O.B.E., when he attempted to freeze the Earth itself into a snow cone, but said plan can be attributed more to his snow cone obsession than any intentions of hurting people, let alone children. His weapons are usually based in his animal mutations such as if he had octopus legs he would make an octopus based weapon.
Professor XXXL was originally created for Tom Warburton's unproduced series Kenny and the Chimp, and appears in Diseasy Does It or Chimp N'Pox, the only episode ever made. This cartoon was included with the pilot episode of Codename: Kids Next Door. In it, he runs a laboratory containing hundreds of deadly diseases such as the "Swine Flu" (only his version causes the victim to grow a pig's head) and SalmonEllaFitzgerald (this version causes the victim to bear the visage of the famed jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald and suddenly and uncontrollably break out in song). He asks Kenny and his pet Chimpy, whom he believes to be Kenny's brother as well as the smart one, to look after his lab while he attempts to destroy the PTA, who he is mortal enemies with for some absurd reason. However, he fails and his lobster arm is torn off by the PTA and served for dinner with butter.
In his first KND appearance, Operation: A.R.C.T.I.C., Professor XXXL was supposedly making a machine to eliminate snow days; after Numbuh 30c betrayed the KND, it was revealed that XXXL was in fact working to invent the perfect snowcone, and that the weather machine was being made by another scientist, Professor Bob.
In Operation: Q.U.I.E.T., he bursts into the KND's treehouse loudly to announce that he has successfully created the perfect snowcone (amidst several other uninvited guests who attack the treehouse while Numbuh 1 is asleep). Unfortunately for him, Numbuh 5 grabs it from him and throws it at the Toilenator to prevent him from waking up Numbuh 1.
In Operation: C.O.L.L.E.G.E., Numbuh 1 believes that adults are prematurely accepting children into college so that they can remove their brains, and goes to a local university to address this supposed emergency while the rest of Sector V takes a day off at the beach. There, he is kidnapped by Professor XXXL, who claims that he intended to lure Numbuh 1 to his lair all along, but rather than intending to remove his brain, actually needed him to test his latest snowcone, as he suffers terribly from brain freezes, and needed Nigel (who is immune to them), to try the various flavors out. However, before Nigel can tell him the results of the taste test, his teammates arrive to rescue him, ignoring his attempts to explain the true nature of the situation. The Professor attempts to stop them from stealing his test subjects, but is defeated. At the end of the episode, Numbuh 1 is seen lamenting the idiocy of his teammates, revealing that the snowcone was perfect.
Despite his non-malicious nature, Professor XXXL is frequently seen at villain gatherings, including those in Operation: A.F.L.O.A.T., Operation: U.T.O.P.I.A., Operation: M.U.N.C.H.I.E.S., Operation: A.W.A.R.D.S. and Operation: Z.E.R.O.. This could be because he grew to hate the Kids Next Door, particularly Sector V, for their repeated assaults on him.
He is never shown zombified in Operation: Z.E.R.O. even with his appearances in villain gatherings.
In Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S., Professor XXXL has once again created a perfect snowcone, which is made a target of the scavenger hunt and stolen by Mushi Sanban and King Sandy.
