** Mitch, especially in ''Operation Luna''. His short fuse and over-protectiveness of his self-designed anfgd constructed spaceship and lunar mission makes him downright unreasonable towards his crewmates, particularly Lemmy, whom he even describes as "psychologically unsuitable" and "a psychological misfit" in Episode 1. He mellowed a great deal throughout the second and third seasons.
