Yugopotamia
Mark Chang
Voiced by: Rob Paulsen
"You Earth children are not afraid of me? Or my straws?"
An alien prince from Yugopotamia and a former enemy of Timmy's. Now he's hiding out on Earth with Timmy's help to escape marrying Mandie.
- Abhorrent Admirer: He's infatuated with Vicky, who obviously isn't keen on being in a relationship with a multi-tentacled alien and only reciprocates his affections whenever it suits her (or when Mark uses his Fakifier to impersonate teen idol, Justin Jake Ashton).
- Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable: Mark is a frequent offender, one example claiming that his "APP-endix" would burst if he didn't properly celebrate F.L.A.R.G.
- Aerith and Bob: He and his same-aged Yugopotamian friends have common Earth names, but his parents? King Grippulon and Queen Jipjorullac.
- Affably Evil: During his time as an antagonist, he generally came off as friendly and easygoing. After his Heel–Face Turn, he became a full-blown Nice Guy.
- Alien Among Us: Initially he flees to Earth to escape an Arranged Marriage. He grows to like it enough that, even after the Story Arc is resolved, he doesn't go back.
- An Alien Named "Bob": An alien named Mark.
- Aliens Speaking English: Mark talks with Earth Surfer Dude slang.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Gender-Inverted. Mark falls head-over-heels in love with Vicky because of what a horrible person she is.
- Allergic to Love: Human love harms him, though he seems to have built up an immunity by "Wishology".
- Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: Everything that humans find pleasant disgusts Yugopotamians and vice-versa. For them, instruments of death are toys, manure is a delicacy, and things that are cutesy and sugary are almost-literally poisonous. This presents a problem when he's arranged to marry Princess Mandie, since her beauty is nothing short of repulsive to him.
- Big Eater: Whenever he's eating, it is rarely in small quantities.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Yugopatamians as a whole's biology reacts almost opposite to a human's.
- What is healthy to a human reacts like junk food to Mark. Candy will kill him and affection literally hurts.
- Also, humans (in real life as well) have a mostly-useless organ called the appendix. Yugopatamian appendixes are the opposite of that, instead being thermo-nuclear bombs that will go off if he doesn't celebrate F.L.A.R.G (a Yugopotamian holiday that lasts five days, each day devoted to a specific custom).
- Brain in a Jar: Well, brain in a dome, anyway. It's still on his head at least.
- Characterization Marches On: He was an antagonist of Timmy in early episodes, but eventually becomes one of his closest friends.
- Chick Magnet: In his human form, girls love him.
- Depending on the Writer: Some episodes depict him as hating healthy food (like freaking out when Happy Peppy Gary and Happy Peppy Betty offer him soy cubes in "Totally Spaced Out" on the grounds that soy cubes are "WAAAYYY too healthy"), while others have him treat food like broccoli and brussels sprouts as, well, treats (like in "Just Desserts", where he has broccoli sundaes for dessert and Timmy has to convince him to give up a can of spinach cobbler to make it possible to undo his wish for everyone to only consume dessert). Essentially, Yugopatamians' reversal of human biology will either be healthy food is bad for him, or he finds Stock "Yuck!" foods delicious depending on the episode.
- Easily Forgiven: After Heel–Face Turn, he is forgiven despite the fact that Mark has threatened to slurp out Timmy's brain through a bendy straw, kidnapped his babysitter (he liked that), tried to kill him in death combat, and launched a weapon that he thought would destroy the Earth.
- Extreme Omnivore: Garbage is his favorite food. Hell, he's even eaten Poof's dirty diaper on two occasions. This is possibly justified by the fact that he's not human.
- Fire-Forged Friends: At first, he and Timmy are enemies. But after Mark moves to Earth to hide from his homicidal fiancee, Princess Mandie, he ends up becoming one of Timmy's closest friends.
- Good Is Dumb: Seriously, compare the episodes where he's evil to the episodes where he's good. Notice any difference?
- Heel–Face Turn: Mark Chang goes from Timmy's enemy to a good friend.
- In Love with Your Carnage: Mark falls for Vicky because of the terror she instills in Timmy, Chester, and AJ.
- Interspecies Friendship: Between him (an alien) and Timmy (a human).
- Interspecies Romance: He's an alien with a HUGE crush on Vicky.
- Large Ham: His lines are almost always said both in Purple Prose and with No Indoor Voice.
- Love Triangle: With Mandie and Vicky. Vicky loves his human form, Mark likes her back despite her disgust in him, and Mandie wants to marry him.
- Moment Killer: In "Wishology" Part III wher he interrupt an attempted kiss between Timmy and Trixie.
- Morphic Resonance: Every form he assumes with his Fakifier has the colors of his skin and his uniform (green and pink).
- Nice Guy: After his Heel–Face Turn, he's shown to be pretty polite, even if some aspects of his old villainy still linger.
- Non-Human Sidekick: Especially in "Wishology".
- Not Now, Kiddo: In "Super Poof".
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted. In his human form, his eyes are naturally red, but he's actually a fairly Nice Guy.
- Runaway Groom: Mark was forced into a Arranged Marriage with Princess Mandie so the Yugopotamians and the Boudacians could forge a military alliance. Mark, however, was repulsed by Mandie's appearance, and fled to Earth, where he begged Timmy to let him hide there.
- Stalker with a Crush: Is one for Vicky. When he kidnapped her, he knew exactly where her house was.
- Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: The tiny guy to Mandie and Vicky.
- Totally Radical: Talks like this.
- Two First Names: Three, actually. Mentioned whenever he takes his teenage form.Mark: I'm Justin Jake Ashton, hunky heartthrob with three first names.
- Unholy Matrimony: Seems to want this with Vicky, at least. Given how Yugopotamians are, the matrimony would be unholy regardless of whether he's good or evil.
- Vague Age: He mostly acts and sounds like a teenager and he has a crush on the 16-years old Vicky, but he also flirted with Trixie, who is around 10. Then again, he is an alien, so aging may work a bit differently with him.
- Vocal Evolution: In "Marked Man" (a Season 10's episode) Mark's voice sounds more deeper and a bit different than how it used to sound.
- Voluntary Shapeshifter: He uses Fakeifier to take on different forms, mainly using it to disguise himself as a human boy.
- What the Hell Is That Accent?: In-universe; nobody who thinks he's human is able to place his accent, with the closest Vicky can come up with is thinking it sounds vaguely European.
- You Can't Go Home Again: For a while Mark Chang was unable to return to Yugopotamia, since it would force him into an Arranged Marriage with Princess Mandie.

Grippulon: Silence! I am the king around here!
Jipjorullac: ...King of getting lost.
Grippulon: Silence!
Mark's parents and the rulers of Yugopotamia. Despite being the rulers, they seem totally useless during emergencies, like the Gigglepie invasion or their son's runaway.

- Brain in a Jar: Every Yugopotamian has their brain clearly visable in a glass dome on their heads.

- Expy: They're similar to Chester and AJ. One of them also has braces.
- Only One Name: Neither of them have surnames.

In-Universe Entertainment
Ryan McCain
A rugged action star with sharp features who's purpose is to be a "Loose Cannon Cop on the Edge Who Doesn't Play By the Rules!" Timmy watches his movie in the episode "Action Packed", and they do a musical embodiment of him in "Chip off the Old Chip".
- Demoted to Extra: Well he was always pretty much an extra, really.
- Expy: He's a pastiche of Bruce Willis' character John McClane in Die Hard.
- Mr. Fanservice: A handsome action hero with an intentional five o'clock shadow, biceps and one who wears wife beaters? Yep, that's a definite qualification.
- The Voiceless: He isn't shown speaking.

"There's evil afoot! I mean... a-chin!"
Timmy's favorite comic book superhero. Timmy sometimes enters the book to fight evil alongside him as Cleft, the Boy Chin Wonder.- '90s Anti-Hero: While it happened in the 1980s, Chin went through a period of being excessively Darker and Edgier, sporting roided-out muscles, overdesigned firearms and a violent attitude. According to him, that run was eventually cancelled due to his willingness to drop swearwords.

- Badass Bandolier: As the '80s Overly Muscular Weapon-Toating Chin.

- Captain Patriotic: '50s Square-jawed Commie-buster Chin sports the American flag as cape, as well as a Chest Insignia (albeit with the white stars replaced by a C).
- The Cape: Is usually this.
- Chrome Champion His "New Millennium" costume was silver instead of red.

- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: His debut in the Oh Yeah short "Super Humor" had him lacking the black spot underneath the C insignia on his chin.
- Expy: He's base on both Batman and Superman.

- Impossibly Cool Clothes: His vibrant red costume, along with several of the dated outfits worn by his past iterations.
- Large Ham: They didn't hire Jay Leno to be subtle.
- Lantern Jaw of Justice: Practically personifies the trope of heroes having big chins. He has chin-based superpowers, and they even got his voice actor in on it!
- Medium Awareness: Thanks to Timmy, he becomes aware of his medium. At first, this causes him to have an existential crisis, but later he starts using it to his advantage, as do his enemies.
- Mr. Fanservice: A fair amount of emphasis is made to his Heroic Build and in particular, his butt.

- '30s Pulp Fiction Chin wears a costume reminiscent of The Rocketeer.
- '40s WWII Sergeant Chin is an outright expy of Sgt. Rock.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Implied to be the case with '80s Chin.Crimson Chin: You can't swear. Only the super-edgy 1985 Crimson Chin can swear!

Crash Nebula
Voiced by: Daran Norris (most appearances), James Arnold Taylor (teenage self Sprig Speevack shown in "Crash Nebula")

Other Magical Beings
Santa Claus
Voiced by: Michael Patrick Bell (Oh Yeah! cartoons short "The Temp"), Kevin Michael Richardson ("Christmas Everyday" and "Merry Wishmas"), Tom Arnold (de-jollified self in "Christmas Everyday"), Jim Ward ("Boys in the Band"), Butch Hartman (Fairy Idol), Carlos Alazraqui ("Dad Overboard")
Played by: Donavon Stinson (A Fairly Odd Christmas)
"Hey ladies! How'd you like it to be Christmas every day?"
The saint of Christmas, Santa lives at the North Pole, distributing gifts to the good girls and boys on Christmas Eve.
- Bad Santa: He is portrayed as an Affably Evil slave driver in the Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "The Temp".
- Beware the Nice Ones: Even the jolly face of the holiday season isn't immune to showing he means business. He puts up a decent fight against the other holiday icons in "Christmas Everyday" and chillingly warns "You better watch out" when a tomato is thrown into his face in "Boys in the Band".
- The Casanova: Hinted at in "Fairy Idol", where he is shown flirting with two women.
- Clark Kent Outfit: Parodied/Played for Laughs. He is mostly depicted as the traditional fat jolly guy whenever he has his coat on (and when he's depowered in "Christmas Every Day, he is rather skinny), but in "Fairy Idol", he is revealed to have a ridiculous Heroic Build underneath.
- Hero with Bad Publicity: In "Christmas Every Day", Timmy's wish for it to be Christmas every day has the side effect of everyone growing to hate Santa and attempting to take him down to end his deliveries. He is also this in "Merry Wishmas" due to the people of Dimmsdale being unhappy that none of the gifts he had delivered this year was what they wanted.
- Heroic Build: In "Fairy Idol", when Chester wishes that the North Pole was warmer for the penguins and made the ice melt, Santa throws off his clothes to reveal that he's ripped. Ho, ho, ho.
- Hour of Power: Every Christmas, every fairy bequeaths their power to him so he can perform his duties, returning them the next day. This becomes problematic when Timmy wishes it was Christmas Every Day, which prevents any fairy from undoing it.
- Negative Continuity: He's completely redesigned in every appearance.
- Trademark Favorite Food: He really likes cookies and milk, to the point that it's all he wants for dinner when he moves in with Timmy's family in "Merry Wishmas".
The Holidays
Voiced by: Robert Costanzo (Easter Bunny)
- Easter Bunny: Thanks to your wish, we other holidays can never spread our joy to the children ever again.
The "second-rate" holidays who spread joy to the world. When Timmy wishes for Christmas to be everyday, they grow jealous of Santa and conspire to end the holiday once and for all. Cupid and the April Fool are among their ranks.
- Anti-Villain: The holidays aren't bad guys or anything. They just want to stop Christmas from being every day and be able to celebrate their own holidays.
- Big Bad Ensemble: They're all the main villains of Christmas Every Day.
- Continuity Nod: Their entire point in "Abra-Catastrophe".
- And to give Timmy exactly what he needed to fight Crocker and keep his godparents.
- Dumb Muscle: Baby New Year acts as a dim-witted thug.
- Heel–Face Turn: At first, they're more than willing to destroy Santa to keep Christmas from happening. However, they eventually see the error of their ways and reconcile with Santa. They even volunteer to deliver presents the following year.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Even though they're a bit extreme for wanting to get rid of Santa and Christmas in its entirety in Christmas Every Day, their anger is understandable. With Christmas being every day, they don't get to spread their own kind of holiday spirit.
- Mooks: The Easter Bunny's role in Enter the Cleft! is as a generic enemy.
- Wouldn't Hurt a Child: While they did threaten Timmy early on, they refused to attack when they were confronted by all the children of the world.
Wishology
Turbo Thunder
Voiced by: Brendan Fraser
The one chosen by the Fairy Council to be the chosen one, but he showed up late to the Darkness' first attack. He is hoping to defeat the Darkness to avenge his parents' death.
- Alliterative Name: Like Timmy Turner, his name is an alliteration involving the letter T. However, it's just an alias and his real name is Pippy Dinglefitz.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: The Wishology trilogy ends with him reuniting with his parents.
- Fake Ultimate Hero: He was the real Chosen One, but he was mistaken by Timmy.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Really, lightning from the armpits is only weird because its from, well, the armpits.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's not exactly the most amiable of people, but he truly wants to be a hero and ultimately helps Timmy in saving the day.
- Missed the Call: It turns out that he missed his chance to fight the Darkness due to oversleeping. In his defense, remaining vigilant constantly would drain anyone of energy.
- Shock and Awe: His primary power is firing lightning bolts... from his armpits.
- Superman Substitute: His backstory, as revealed in Wishology's third part, reveals he was sent from a doomed world filled with superhumans and decided to become a superhero.
- You Can't Go Home Again: His home planet was destroyed by the Darkness.
