History Characters / EarthwormJim

* MisplacedRetribution: Whoever or whatever sets off his demonic transformation, Jim is nearly always it's first target. Justified in the cartoons, as Peter himself explains he has no control over himself when it happens, and seems to spend a lot of time apologizng vigorously for it.

* StrawCharacter - Scientist: According to his blog, the creationist DougTenAple created Professor Monkey-for-a-Head as a TakeThat to his Darwinist high school science teachers.

* KillerRabbit: Peter looks harmless and fluffy... right up until he transforms and eats you.

* BerserkButton: In the cartoon, the Professor hates fruit carts because one killed his father.

* WickedCultured: In the cartoons he has the most hellish and destructively evil ambitions of the RougesGallery, [[VillainsOutShopping spaced in between the odd movie night and romantic affair of course]].

This character sheet includes the major characters in the ''EarthwormJim'' franchise. Because [[WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim the animated series]] portrayed some characters in a very different fashion to [[VideoGame/EarthwormJim the games]], appropriate character sheets will divide their profiles between a Games version and a Cartoon version.

* HotAmazon: In the cartoon.

* ExactOpposite

* HeroicSociopath: Jim's plan A boils down to "blast away randomly at any viable target while laughing maniacally".

* {{Barefoot Funny Animal|s}}: In the cartoon, at least, where he sports a shirt and shorts, but no shoes. In the games, he's completely naked.

* GoneHorriblyRight: In the cartoons, Bob's plans often turn up like this. Awaken the Anti-Fish? It not only refuses to obey him, but sets off to destroy the entire universe by eating the Great Worm Spirit, forcing Bob into an EnemyMine situation with Jim if he wants to be able to conquer the universe. Mutate the entire fish population of La Planeta de Agua to have super intelligence? They realise he is a dangerous megalomaniac who must be obliterated and turn on him.

* IdiotHero: Jim in the cartoon zigzags between this, occasionally coming up with some rather clever ideas to defeat his enemies, but generally being rather dense.

* IdiotHero: Jim in the cartoon zigzags between this.

* IdiotHero: He has his moments in the cartoon.

'''Cartoon:''' Fundamentally identical to the games, Bob in the cartoon series is depicted with a bombastic, evangelical personality. The planet is also renamed La Planeta de Agua.

* BFG: Subverted. Jim's primary gun is a small handheld ray-gun. It still packs a massive amount of firepower, and it's a rapid-fire weapon.

* SuperhumanStrength: In the cartoons, she boasts that as an Insectican, she has the strength of 100 men.

-->'''Jim:''' EAT DIRT, EVERYONE IN THE VACINITY!!!!

* PsychopathicManChild: In the cartoons, Jim's interests include watching a kid's show ("The Mr. Bunnybutt Show"), reading a funny animals popup book, firing his gun at anything that catches his attention, and pummeling people senseless.
* TedBaxter: The cartoon zigzags on this. Jim is crazy, egotistical and full of himself, but, more often then not, when the chips are down, he proves himself to be genuinely competent.

* ArchNemesis: In the games.

'''Game:''' A mad genius on retention to Queen Slug-for-a-Butt, the Professor works in a nightmarish laboratory spacestation, creating all manner of nightmarish creations. Working without restrictions, he indulges in all manner of insane experiments, most notably an effort to improve his intelligence by grafting a monkey to his head. This backfired terribly; he now has double the headaches, the monkey continually messes up his experiments, and he can't get the shape of bananas out of his head. At the Queen's bidding for an ultra-powerful weapon to conquer the galaxy, he created the Super Suit -- and then the monkey ate the blueprints. This wouldn't have been such a bother if Psycrow hadn't gone and lost the Suit. When Jim wandered into his laboratory, the Professor eagerly tried to reclaim his handiwork, but failed.

* MadScientist

* OnlySaneMan: Shares this role with Princess Whats-Her-Name in the cartoon.
* ServileSnarker: In the cartoon, he can switch between being a niave follower of Jim or a neurotic commentator to his bumbling from scene to scene.

* VitriolicBestBuds: With Jim in the cartoon, between Jim's antics and Peter's uncontrolable transformations, there is the odd tension to say the least, but Peter certainly hates being taken from Jim's side.

* OnlySaneMan: In the cartoons, she shares this role with Peter Puppy.
