- Evil Twin: The Anti-Fairies are this to the Fairies. Cosmo's is an Evil Genius, while Wanda's is a complete idiot.

Dad: This is the ride!
Mom and Dad: Yippeeeeeee!!! - Invisible to Normals: The anti-fairies are this here, with Cosmo and Wanda having to poof up special goggles so Timmy could see them.

- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Timmy may have been the one to free the Anti-Fairies from Anti-Fairy World, but they wouldn't have gotten to Earth if his father hadn't opened the door to Fairy World.
