The titular protagonist; Kim Possible is just your average, everyday girl who happens to save the world on a daily basis. With a grab-bag of gadgets, and her cheerleader training, she'll thwart any villain's maniacal plot, at any time, and any place. However, no doomsday machine or baddie can compare to her biggest and most important struggle; surviving high school.

---

• 10-Minute Retirement: Goes through one at the end of So The Drama after it was revealed that Eric was a synthodrone. It took Ron giving her a pep talk and confessing his love for her to get back in the fight.
• Academic Athlete: She excels in various sports and athletic activities, and also gets good grades in school.
• The Ace: The head cheerleader, straight-A student, involved in every extracurricular activity you can think of and a heroic Action Girl. This all provides much contrast with Ron. The series isn't shy about showing what this sort of person would be like in real life: extremely stubborn and a perfectionist.
• Action Girl: Beats up super-villains for kicks, using only her cheerleading skills.
• Action Girlfriend: To Ron. If it weren't for her, he'd probably spend most of his time at Bueno Nacho.
• Action Mom: Implied in the future depicted in the A Sitch in Time bonus material, where Kim still works hard to protect the world from villains into her middle age, but it is said that she still manages to make time for PTA^note Parent-Teacher Association.
• Affectionate Nickname:
  • Ron calls her "KP."
  • Her father calls her "Kimmie-Cub".
• All Girls Want Bad Boys: Subverted. In one episode, appropriately titled "Bad Boy", she admits to Ron that she likes the Troubled, but Cute type. She forgets this idea later in the series when she actually starts dating Ron, a dorky, clumsy, goofy but Nice Guy.
• All There in the Manual: Kim didn't use to have a mission outfit, describing in "Pain King vs Cleopatra" an incident in which she got her underwear caught in the back of her skirt while she was protecting a desert prince from a death squad, which almost got the prince killed. The story bible written before production began adds on to the desert prince story that she settled on slacks during missions shortly after that incident, leading to her more practical mission outfit.
• Ambiguously Christian: She sang "Silent Night" as part of a Christmas-themed choir when she was in middle school. Along with her family celebrating Christmas, this is the only hint of any religious denomination.
• Amnesiac Lover: In "Clean Slate". She soon remembers that Ron is her best friend, but finds it laughably unlikely that they were dating.
• Animal Motifs: According to the Animology, Kim represents a fox, specifically a blue fox.
• Animorphism: In "The Full Monkey", she's turned into a monkey after accidentally bonding with the Amulet of the Monkey King.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Though she finds her antagonistic brothers an incredibly annoying headache due to their tendency to tease and make fun of her, she does care a lot about them and has gone out of her way to save them, even if it meant putting her own life on the line.
• Badass Adorable: She's a cute teenager who is a cheerleader and can kick ass when someone close to her is in danger.
• Badass Normal: During So The Drama and any time she fights someone with superpowers, such as her frequent battles with Shego, her generally mopping the floor with Team Go in Stop Team Go, and even going toe to toe with an ancient monster for a few seconds before he kicked his magic in on her.
• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Early in the series, all three of Kim's outfits (her civilian clothes, her mission outfit, and her cheerleader outfit) bared her midriff, befitting a teenage girl with girly interests (like fashion and dating) when she's not kicking butt. Her mission outfit looked almost identical to Ron's (black shirt, baggy military pants, gloves and boots), except for the bared midriff. She gradually started doing it less and less until by the end of the series she had stopped completely. The final midriff-baring outfit to go was her mission outfit pictured above. An entire episode was dedicated to her finding a new one. During the last moments of the Grand Finale, she was shown wearing a final midriff-exposing outfit.
• Barrier Warrior: Her supersuit has a barrier function that she uses in So the Drama to protect herself from Shego's plasma blasts and in "Ill Suited" to free herself from Dementor's couch trap.
• Badass in Distress: She was often bound up by the villains which may also referred to Designated Victim. She can usually be rescued by herself.
• Battle Couple: With Ron in the final season. They discuss dates during missions.
• Berserk Button: Being treated condescendingly in regard to her expertise tends to greatly annoy her. In "Ron the Man" she's ticked off that the local, federal, and international law enforcement thought they could handle Dementor stealing the Pan-Dimensional Vortex Inducer on their own when she found out about it by tracking Drakken to it by happenstance, and in "Two to Tutor", she did not at all appreciate being called "little missy", getting an Affectionate Gesture to the Head and being dismissed by Granny Crockett and her Texan security chief.
• Beware the Nice Ones: She's a polite and helpful person who dedicates part of her life to saving the world and helping her community. However, woe to those who manage to get on her worst side.
  • Using her "weakness" for boys against her is a great way to make her stop holding back.
• Big Sister Instinct: No matter how much her brothers annoy her, Kim will risk her own life to protect them.
• Book Smart: Kim is a straight-A student, while also being a popular cheerleader and an athletic superheroine. Her nerdy sidekick Ron, on the other hand, is Book Dumb.
• Boom Stick : Briefly in "Mad Dogs and Aliens", she used Warmonga's spear-like weapon to destroy the Doomsday Device of the Week.
• Bully Hunter:
  • Aside from supervillain bullies she has stepped up on occasion, teaching sensitivity training (re: an ass kicking) to Ron's tormentors and beating down Drakken, Killigan, and Monkey Fist when they were tormenting Ron while transformed into children. She rejected the idea of doing the same to Bonnie, but on one occasion she's pushed to the brink of doing it, which frightens Bonnie into breaking down in tears and backing off.
  • In a significant role-reversal, Ron is the Bully Hunter when he first came to her aid when she was being bullied by a de-aged Drakken, Killigan and Monkey Fist in preschool. Ron's courage during their first meeting is heavily implied to have inspired her to be the hero that she is today.
• Butt-Monkey: Not to the extent of Ron, but bad stuff tends to happen to her, like the Tweebs embarrassing her or Bonnie harassing her or Ron occasionally goofing up where she takes the damage. Or times when she embarrasses herself while trying to talk to Josh Mankey.
• Character Catchphrase: Several.
  "What's the sitch?"
  "No big."
  "So not the drama."
  "You rock!"
  "Spankin'!"
  "Please and thank you!"
• Character Development:
  • Kim quickly goes from a Narcissist with a touch of Jerkass (or at the very least snark and bossiness) and your usual roulette of teen issues, to a less self-absorbed, more tolerant and compassionate young lady.
  • More specifically, at the start of the series, Kim could be arrogant, vain and self-centered (though not nearly as much as Bonnie), and was borderline spoiled when it came to fashion and shopping for clothes (see "Bueno Nacho" and "Low Budget"). She also had a bad habit of getting jealous whenever somebody (usually Ron) surpassed her at something ("Bueno Nacho", "The Ron Factor", "Two to Tutor"). Over time, Kim learns to overcome these traits and becomes a better hero all the more.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: To a ridiculous degree considering she can go mano-a-mano with superhuman fighters like Shego and Monkey Fist. All that cheerleading and Mantis Kung Fu has made her a seriously tough girl with agility and durability far beyond any natural human. Though even as a kindergartner, she was shown to be able to move and jump higher than any normal human should.
• Childhood Friend Romance: With Ron. They were in preschool when they first met and took them 12 years to become a couple.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: Kim is one of the greatest examples of this trope. She put up a website to bring in odd jobs like babysitting and got into fighting supervillains too. When asked why she doesn't turn down more requests, she replied: "I'm not programmed that way."
• Class Princess: Very popular at school, but she's too nice to be an Alpha Bitch or even a Lovable Alpha Bitch. She has no bitchy traits at all.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: She didn't take it well when Ron went off with Yori, or when he started hanging out with Zita due to their mutual love of gaming... or when Tara showed him any affection. Come to think of it, even Shego trolled her for fun about flirting with Ron. The final straw was when Bonnie kissed Ron on the lips during one episode of season four. Note that all but the last one happened before she became an Official Couple with Ron.
  Kim: WHAT IS THE SITCH?!
  Ron: (desperately explaining) Hey! I was the kissee here, not the kisser!
  Kim: No kidding! It took you twelve stinkin' years to kiss me!
• Control Freak: One of her flaws is her bossiness. Ron even lampshades it in "Sink or Swim".
• Cool Big Sis: Technically Cool Big Cousin for Joss, who idolizes her. Kim also learns to become this to the Tweebs over time, which is especially evident in Season 4.
• Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship: The Cool Kid (popular overachiever) to Ron's Loser (unpopular underachiever). They eventually have a Relationship Upgrade.
• Costume Evolution: Kim transitions out of wearing midriff-baring outfits as the series goes on.
• Cute Bruiser: Pretty teenage girl, cheerleader, and scourge of supervillains, for whom kicking henchman ass is a hobby.
• Deadpan Snarker: She often makes witty remarks towards Ron and her enemies, at times she and Shego will go through Snark-to-Snark Combat.
• Determinator: As if her last name isn't big enough a clue. Kim will never give up no matter how tough things are.
• Doesn't Like Guns: In "Rufus vs. Commodore Puddles", she expresses significant distaste towards the idea that the US Army would use firearms to defend Area 51 when it comes under attack by Drakken and Shego riding a giant Commodore Puddles.
• Dude Magnet: Many guys find her attractive. Just ask Josh, Brick, all four of the Oh Boyz, Senor Senior Junior, and Ron.
• Empowered Badass Normal: Whenever she uses the experimental Battlesuit that Wade made for her as it grants her a wide array of capabilities such as barriers or tossing back Shego's plasma bolts. There was also the episode where Hego's Super-Strength ended up being passed to her.
• Enraged by Idiocy: Downplayed; she's never rude or abusive to him, but Kim is known to be somewhat annoyed or disappointed whenever Ron's clumsiness or cluelessness gets too much even for her patience.
• Evil Costume Switch: In "Twin Factor" when she puts on Shego's uniform due to brainwashing.
• Extracurricular Enthusiast: As part of her incredible-overachiever character design, Kim Possible is involved with or in charge of just about everything in Middleton High short of being a supply teacher, though most of these are merely referred to unless they're significant to the episode.
• Experienced Protagonist: She's been out in the field since she was a pre-teen. By the time the series begins, she's already a seasoned globetrotting hero.
• Eyepatch of Power: According to the bonus material from A Sitch in Time, she will be wearing one by the time she's in her forties.
• Family Eye Resemblance: Kim inherited her paternal grandmother's green eyes.
• Fatal Flaw: Where her social life is concerned, Complexity Addiction. While Kim is able to breeze through death defying situations without breaking a sweat, she has a habit of overstressing and overthinking regular teenage problems that only tends to result in those problems getting bigger and her putting herself into even more stress, occasionally even bleeding over into her missions.
• Fiery Redhead: Though she doesn't get angry very often, she has incredible drive and passion and when angry she's difficult to calm. Ironically, Animology calls these traits blue fox.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The Responsible Sibling to Jim and Tim's Foolish. While she's saving the world, they're making anti-matter in the family garage.
• Freaky Is Cool: Kim admits Ron is weird, but she likes that about him.
• Free-Range Children: Kim is only a teenager, but her parents have no problem with her traveling the world and defeating evil masterminds, just as long as she doesn't go out with any boys. Still, she's somehow managed to build a global network of contacts that she's done favors for and can get a ride to anywhere on Earth.
• Genre Savvy: She is quite familiar with all the classic villain routines. Sometimes she finds it a little dull.
• Girlish Pigtails: She had these when she and Ron were in preschool.
• Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She collects Cuddle Buddies and quite fond of them since she was a little girl. Her favorite is a Pandaroo she had since then (Cuddle Buddies are animal hybrid plushies.)
• Girly Bruiser: When she's not kicking villain ass, she's at Club Banana trying on the latest in fashion, and she never leaves without lipstick handy.
• Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: Downplayed. Kim isn't overtly grumpy, but she can be easily frustrated, and is very competitive, especially compared to Ron's easy going Gleeful.
• Go-Getter Girl: She started her own odd-job website with the phrase "Kim Possible: she can do anything." Now she's a famous international heroine.
• Good Is Not Soft: Kim tries to verbally reason with the villains...exactly once. Every other time every confrontation has come to blows.
• Grappling-Hook Pistol: Her trademark hairdryer.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Tends to get very jealous very fast, particularly over Ron. And this was before they began dating. Lampshaded:
  Monique: Someone's getting a little green-eyed...
  Kim: So? I've always had green eyes.
  • More generally, Kim has a bad habit of getting jealous towards anyone (even Ron) who seems to do better than her in anything. She gets better at diminishing this negative aspect of hers over the series.
• Hair Flip: Considering she has long hair, she occasionally does this. Ron once even commented that her hair was 'flippy'.
• Heroic Willpower:
  • In a very subtle moment in "The Twin Factor", she briefly breaks free from Drakken's mind control chip when she deliberately kicks Shego off the lift to defend Ron.
  • In "Emotion Sickness" when the Moodulators have fried, forcing her into an "irreversible frenzy of rage", she manages to break free of its control when Ron is in danger.
• Humble Hero: She fights supervillains and saves the world as a hobby, but plays it down whenever she gets attention for it.
• Iconic Outfit: Black long-sleeved crop top, gray gloves, and khaki cargo-pants. Season 4 has her change it to a purple shorter sleeves with black pants with purple streaks. However, her original mission gear is arguable more memorable. The live-action film's attire still uses its color scheme. Stephen Silver, the lead character artist, took inspiration from Butch Hartman drawing Danny Phantom 10 years later and did the same with Kim, basing it on her original mission outfit.
• I Know Madden Kombat: Her acrobatic She-Fu skills come from being a cheerleader. Subverted since she at least knows Mantis style Kung Fu and at least fifteen other forms if her comment to Ron is accurate; the main benefit her cheerleading seems to grant her is the Combat Parkour she uses to dodge and maneuver around her opponents.
• Improbable Hairstyle: Kim has flippy waist-length hair completely resistant to swimming, scuba-diving, skydiving, being submerged in cookie dough, or the numerous helmets she wears for safety.
• Informed Attribute: In one episode she told Ron that she finds Troubled, but Cute type bad boys attractive. However, she actually shows no signs of attraction towards any bad boys, most of her onscreen love interests are nice guys. The sole exception is Eric aka Synthodrone 901, and even then he was pretending to be a nice guy and the moment his true colours are revealed, she gets over him. Her major Love Interest, Ron, has a Superpowered Evil Side, but she actually prefers the nicer Ron over the bad boy.
• Insecure Love Interest: Only if Yori gets involved. Otherwise she tends to avert this.
• Insufferable Genius: Tends to be boastful about her Ace qualities, but she can very well back them up. Ron occasionally pokes fun at this.
• Jerkass Ball: Hardly one moment in the series, but in the 2019 TV movie, she develops some jealousy after Athena one-upped her in defeating Shego on her first mission.
• Kid Hero: Naturally, being a young teenage girl who saves the world in her spare time. And she's one of the best, too.
• Laugh of Love: She tends to do this when she's around the guys she has a crush on. She also giggled after her first kiss with Ron in "Emotion Sickness".
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Light to Shego's Dark. Kim is a model student-athlete, a loyal friend, and has a little side gig saving the world from evil (Light). Shego serves the Big Bad Drakken, is the biggest Deadpan Snarker in the series, and has long black hair (Dark).
• Limited Social Circle: Surprisingly enough, while she's certainly popular enough around school, in the cheerleader club, and around the world, she only really hangs out with 2 people, Ron and Monique. In "Oh Boyz" she has Monique, Tara, Jessica and Marcella over at her house to watch the titular band on television, but later in "Motor Ed", she's left with literally nothing to do when Ron made other plans instead of hanging out with her.
• Living Legend: Even though she doesn't get that much glory, everyone knows who she is, and most people appreciate what she does.
• Lovable Jock: Kim's a cheerleader, but she's anything but the typically portrayed "mean and snobby" variety.
• Love Revelation Epiphany: In So The Drama, Ron comforts her after Kim is left heartbroken by the revelation that Eric is a synthodrone. Kim asks if he really thinks there's a guy for her, and Ron says there might be one who's out there... or right there with her. Upon hearing these words, Kim begins to realize who the guy of her dreams really is.
• Makeup Weapon: Kim has several weaponized cosmetics:
  • The "Kissy Girl" Knockout Gas from "Crush" is a tin of lip gloss that releases a potent stench strong enough to knock people out.
  • The Elastic Constricting Lipstick from "Tick-Tick-Tick" is an elastic constricting agent disguised as a lipstick that Ron accidentally uses on himself. Later on, Kim uses it more successfully to restrain some sharks in Drakken's lair.
  • The Compact Zipline, seen in "Low Budget", is a compact mirror that can shoot out a grappling hook.
  • The laser lipstick, from So The Drama, is a standard tube of lipstick that doubles as a laser-firing weapon.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Masculine Girl to Ron's Feminine Boy. She's a relentless overachiever who knows "sixteen forms of kung fu," set herself up as an international Teen Superspy, and kicks supervillain butt. He rarely fails to back her up and has his badass moments but is an easygoing type and is much better in the kitchen than in the battlefield. We see their old Halloween costumes - Kim as a cowboy, Ron as a ballerina. Nuff said.
• Meaningful Name: She's called Kim Possible for a reason. As said many times, she can do anything, and her family's mantra is "anything's possible for a Possible".
• Ms. Fanservice: She is quite an attractive and popular teenager. She spends most of the series in midriff-baring outfits and poses quite attractively as well. And then of course, there's the legendary Little Black Dress.
• Naïve Everygirl: She's at her core a parody of this type; she's insecure about boys, dating, and the social order, and has very few close friends. However, she's admired by her peers, involved in every school activity, and is an international kung-fu-fighting pro-bono Action Girl.
• Nice Girl: Kim may have traits of arrogance, vanity and has a slight habit of being bossy, but she mostly matures out of it to become genuinely more caring, tolerant and respectful.
• Noodle Incident:
  • Many of Kim's missions begin with her thanking someone for giving her and Ron a ride to the site, and being thanked in return for her help with some briefly-described crisis. Some of those double as Continuity Nods.
  • A non-mission one was her first kiss. It was back when she had braces... and the boy it was with also had braces. Somehow they got locked.
  Kim Possible: It was an embarrassing ride to the orthodontist.
• Not So Above It All: The general theme of the show is that she's totally infallible when on a mission, but nowhere near as perfect when it comes to teenage life. She may be mostly level-headed, but there are times where she can be petty, over-competitive and a perfectionist, or even foolish.
• One-Man Army: Depending on the Writer, she can go from getting captured by Drakken's henchmen in one episode to taking on almost her entire Rogues Gallery plus Monkey Fist's monkey ninjas and Jack Hench's henchmen at the same time in another.
  Jack Hench: Come on, guys! You can't take down one cheerleader?!
• Official Couple: Becomes Ron's girlfriend in the final season.
• Only Sane Woman: She's usually comes off as the more reasonable and grounded one when compared to sidekick and best friend, Ron. However, she is prone to the insecurities of a teenage girl and her A-type personality can cause problems, leaving it to Ron to balance her out.
• Opposites Attract: With Ron; serious overachiever and goofy underachiever. They balance each other out very well; on Kim's side, Ron calms her down and reminds that she doesn't always have to be perfect, and that sometimes relaxing and having fun is the best course of action.
• Part-Time Hero: Most people are aware of her exploits; they're frequently recounted in the papers and on the news. She doesn't bother with a Secret Identity.
• The Perfectionist: Part of her 'Kimmness' involves her being obsessed with getting something down exactly right.
• Phrase Catcher: Whenever she thanks someone for giving her a ride somewhere, she'll almost always get a "It's the least I can do after you..." before describing some favor she did for them.
• Plucky Girl: Saving the world is no big. She's lost Heroic Spirit exactly once in the series, and it was during her prom night.
• Pom-Pom Girl: Kim is the head cheerleader at her school and while she occasionally steamrolls people about fashion (such as Ron's haircut and the green jacket), she is a nice girl and never bitchy.
• Powered Armor:
  • Accidentally gained stress-powered armor in "October 31st".
  • In So The Drama and briefly afterwards because the writers felt it was too powerful.
• Protagonist Title: Her first and last name are the title of the series.
• Pubescent Braces: As a middle schooler she was a bit gangly and wore braces. She grew into herself by high school and the braces were taken out.
• Punny Name: "Impossible".
• Puppy-Dog Eyes: Kim employs this very often with her Puppy Dog Pout.
• Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: Generally averted. Kim can take on anyone in a fight, often appears more of a tomboy and doesn't really wear skirts or dresses outside of special occasions and cheerleading. But she's also a cheerleader, has no aversion to the color pink, and has stereotypical teenage-girl interests - dating boys, clothes shopping, soft toys, boy bands and such.
• Redhead In Green: Kim has red hair, and in the first three seasons she wore a green tank-top. Her original mission outfit also had dark green cargo pants.
• Relationship Upgrade: She and Ron are just childhood friends for most of the series until they share a Big Damn Kiss in the So the Drama, thus becoming an Official Couple.
• Resort to Pouting:
  • Kim has a patented version of a pout she calls the "Puppy Dog Pout"^note  It combines the soulful Puppy-Dog Eyes with a heavily protruding bottom lip. She's even pulled it against some of her arch-enemies, to great effect. However, she apparently inherited it from her mother, Anne Possible, who once wielded it against Kim herself, causing Kim to protest, "Not the Puppy Dog Pout! That's mine!", but relenting and allowing her mother to accompany her on a mission for Mother's Day.
  • In one episode, Kim mock-pouts after Wade uses a remote control to bypass a security gate to avoid having to "jump over stuff."
    Kim: (pouting voice and face) But I like jumping over stuff.
• She-Fu: Quick and nimble to the point where very few opponents (other than Arch-Enemy Shego) can score a hit on her.
• Shipper on Deck: In the final episode, she teases Shego for denying she has any sort of attachment to Drakken.
• Shoe Phone: Her gadgets are generally built to look like ordinary teenage-girl items, such as her hairdryer grapple gun, her lipstick laser, and her lip gloss knockout gas. It seems to be purely a style thing, as she doesn't bother to hide who she is.
• Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: A green-eyed redhead. Marking her as the main character.
• Singing in the Shower: Her brothers reveal this is the reason she takes so long in the shower, much to her embarrassment.
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She ultimately hooks up with Ron, her long time best friend and all around Nice Guy.
• Sleeves Are for Wimps: Kim inverts this trope. She usually wears a sleeveless tank top as part of her civilian outfit, but her mission outfit has a shirt with full-length sleeves. Although there have been times that she has had to engage in combat when still dressed in her everyday clothes.
• Spirited Competitor: Kim really likes to win in any sport activities.
• Socially Awkward Hero: While she's good at saving the world, she's not really good at asking out guys to the dance.
• Strong Girl, Smart Guy:
  • Strong Girl to both her brothers' Smart Guys. She's a strong fighter who saves the world, Jim and Tim are annoying brats who are also scientific prodigies. Kim is very smart but lacks the scientific knowledge of her brothers and doesn't understand many of their terms, phrases, or inventions.
  • Strong Girl to Wade's Smart Guy. Wade is a Non-Action Guy but provides Kim with all the gadgets and information she needs to fight her foes.
• Taken for Granite: Briefly in "Oh No Yono", courtesy of Monkey Fist's new ally, Yono.
• Tamer and Chaster: As the series progressed, she started wearing fewer and fewer shirts that displayed her midriff. Season 4 had an episode dedicated to her losing her standard mission outfit to finally replace it with one that covered her stomach, though her cheerleader uniform did remain a crop-top for the entirety of the series.
• Think Nothing of It: When thanked for previous acts of heroism, she responds that it was "No big."
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Bonnie's Girly Girl. While Kim isn't completely devoid of any feminine traits and is a cheerleader, she is a Teen Super Spy, knows various martial arts, plays other sports besides cheerleading, and has a wardrobe that often consists of her wearing various shirts, pants and tracksuits. Whereas Bonnie reserves her athletic prowess exclusively for cheerleading, has character traits associated with being an Alpha Bitch and is almost always seen wearing skirts, dresses and generally more feminine clothes.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Kim's a well-skilled martial artist and loves playing sports — but she's also into typical "girly girl" things like fashion and cheerleading. Plus, her Halloween costume was of a pretty pink princess.
• Tranquil Fury: In So the Drama, when she comes across Drakken mocking her for her "weakness" for boys after getting over her 10-Minute Retirement. She just clenches her fist, smiles at him and doesn't even raise her voice before punching him across the room.
• Uptight Loves Wild: Downplayed. While Kim isn't a complete stiff and Ron isn't a massive Keet, the former is a perfectionist and the latter is a go-with-the-flow type who helps her take things easy and not worry about the little things.
• Vibrant Orange: Kim is a confident teenager with orange hair and a near unbreakable positive attitude. Her catchphrases include "I can do anything", "no big" and "so not the drama". In addition to being a superhero, Kim is also a cheerleader.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Tends to get rather protective of the boys she likes and dates — like what almost happened to Bonnie in "Homecoming Upset", DO NOT mess with Ron if you know what's good for you. Kim basically spelled it out for a villain threatening Ron:
  "Nobody messes with my boyfriend!"
• Vocal Evolution: Her voice starts out high-pitched as befitting of a girl in her early teens. As time goes by and Kim grows up, her voice gradually lowers.
• Well, Excuse Me, Princess!: To Ron. Every season she eggs him on to do better. What that means can range from 'better haircut' to 'school work'. By the final season she switches to encouraging as graduation approaches.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: As seen in the short episode "Roachie," she's terrified of giant bugs.
• Woman Scorned: Aside from her Moodulator-induced rage in "Emotion Sickness", she did not take it very well in So the Drama when "Eric" turned out to be a synthodrone mole planted by Drakken and Shego. After getting over her 10-Minute Retirement, she gives all three a thrashing.
• Youthful Freckles: Had these as a little girl all the way up to her pre-teen years.

Appearances: Kim Possible | Kim Possible: Revenge of Monkey Fist | Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time | Kim Possible 2: Drakken's Demise | Kim Possible 3: Team Possible | Kim Possible: Kimmunicator | Kim Possible: Legend of the Monkey's Eye | Kim Possible: What's the Switch? | Kim Possible: Global Gemini | Kim Possible: So the Drama

"Boo-yah!"

Kim's sidekick, and best friend since preschool; Ron is often dismissed by his peers as a lazy, accident-prone slacker and a coward. He also has a tendency to blow things out of proportion, and has turned making a fool out of one's self into an art form. However, despite his pants-losing antics, and fear of monkeys, he will always pull through when the chips are down and there is no one Kim trusts more in a mission.

• Achievements in Ignorance: Once built a doomsday machine when forced to by Drakken out of a mish-mash of spare parts, which actually works somehow.
• Acquired Situational Narcissism: Repeatedly. Kim even notes that he's prone to "big-headedness".
• Action Dad: Implied in the future depicted in the A Sitch in Time bonus material, where Ron still continues to help Kim in protecting the world from villains in his middle age, but it is said that Kim still manages to make time for PTA^note Parent-Teacher Association; given Word of God that he and Kim will be together forever.
• Affectionate Nickname: Ron calls Kim "KP."
• Allegedly Dateless: He's overly concerned with social rankings and considered a loser by his school peers. Yet he seems popular among girls such as Yori and Kim (the latter of whom eventually becomes his girlfriend), along with Zita, and a crush by another cheerleader.
• All of the Other Reindeer: Ron is treated with a lot of disrespect by his high school peers, the only exception being Kim. Though despite that, his peers approve of his relationship with Kim (they actually cheer when they finally get together.) He loses their disrespect all together when he becomes the star running back.
• Alone with the Psycho: In "Monkey Fist Strikes", he's trapped alone in the Fiske mansion when the archeologist reveals his true colors and the Kim with him is revealed to actually be Wade's Holo-Kim. At the same time in Larry's house, the real Kim learns that Fiske is a master of Monkey Kung Fu and puts two-and-two together.
• Aloof Big Brother: Initially, Ron was less than enthusiastic about having a new baby sister, but quickly came to invert this trope.
• Amazon Chaser: His major love interests are Kim and Yori. It's even lampshaded in Virtu-Ron, where Ron and his crush, Zita, are trapped in an computer game, and Zita leaps into action to rescue other players who have been captured by the Villain of the Week.
  Ron: Are all girls like this, or just the ones I know?
• Animal Motifs:
  • According to the Animology, Ron represents a sloth, specifically a pink sloth.
  • Outside of Animology and a huge Irony, Ron goes on to gain significant ties with monkeys.
• Animal Talk: Naked mole rats, mutant roaches, and monkeys.
• Animorphism:
  • In "Return to Wannaweep", he dives into the muck pool that re-mutated Gil and comes out as a humanoid beaver.
  • In Kim Possible: Legend of the Monkey's Eye, he moves in the way of Monkey Fist firing the titular artifact at Kim, turning him into a monkey until he's turned back at the end of the game.
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!:
  Ron: All right so time is running out. But I will not panic KP.
  Kim: You are panicking, aren't you?
  Ron: Totally.
  Kim: Why do you do this to yourself?
  Ron: Kim, procrastination is one of the few skills I have mastered. Oh look! TV!
• Badass Adorable: When he gets serious he can be formidably cute.
• Badass Driver:
  • Both in "Tick-Tick-Tick" and in So the Drama he proved quite able in outrunning pursuers on his scooter, in spite of much mockery in regards to its top speed.
  • In "Royal Pain", he ably evades the Knights of Rodeghan's satellite laser while riding a go-kart.
• Bad Boss: During the period of time when he was evil, he made sure to emphasize to Shego that only he would reap the benefits from world domination and preemptively threatened her with a shark tank to keep her from snarking at him like she typically did with Dr. Drakken. It actually got Shego to clam up and do as she's told.
• Bad Liar: Ron is an atrocious liar. In So the Drama, he exhibited every symptom of bluffing as they were being described by the Texan poker player and when Kim confronted him about Eric, and the three times he lied to Kim ("The Fearless Ferret", "Overdue" and "Gorilla Fist") she figured out that something was wrong, such as when he started piling lies on top of each other to keep Kim from finding out about Yori and Yamanuchi due to having been sworn to secrecy about it earlier.
• Balloon Belly: In "Animal Attraction" and "Grande Size Me" he gets bloated due to ignoring Mr. Barkin's nutritional advice.
• Battle Couple: With Kim. He's generally the distraction until the Grand Finale, where he comes to surpass her in combat by deliberately invoking his mystical monkey power for the first time.
• The Beastmaster: Ron doesn't like all animals (see Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?), but he seems to have more luck with turning them over to his side than Kim. Even the villains' attack animals respond to this.
• Berserk Button:
  • Future Shego learned the hard way that forcing his family to move away and keep him from Kim was a very bad idea. Even worse than destroying Bueno Nacho.
  • Disrespect to Bueno Nacho in general. "Grande Size Me" has him furious that Barkin said Bueno Nacho is not something to eat everyday, so he decides to eat nothing but Bueno Nacho from then on to prove him wrong. Likewise he wasn't pleased with Drakken when he used Bueno Nacho for his evil plan in ''So the Drama", legitimately scaring the villain when he forced him to remember his name.
• Best Friend: He is this to the titular character Kim Possible.
• Beware the Nice Ones: There's a reason why Warmonga and Warhok are the only villains in the show explicitly confirmed to suffer Character Death.
• Beware the Silly Ones: The boy eating 'nacos' and talking to a mole rat is not to be trifled with.
• Be Yourself: The main theme of various of the episodes in which he stars in such as “Ron the Man” and “All the news”, coupled with his main motto Never be normal!.
• Big Brother Instinct:
  • He's an only child for the first three seasons, but early in the fourth season, his parents adopt a baby Japanese girl named Hana. Ron at first refers to her as "the intruder", but then the "fraternal instincts kick in" and he quickly grows extremely attached to her.
  • "Oh No! Yono!" has Ron with a real fear that he might lose Hana due to her being unable to defend herself against Yono (as he was supposed to train her in martial arts, but he "couldn't get her to turn a page in a book" and nobody told Ron straight out he was to train her). However, with the "Flippie Dance" moves she learned, Hana gets enough agility and athletic training to not just beat Monkey Fist but evade Yono.
• Big Brother Mentor: To Hana. He's dedicated to teaching her everything she needs to know, even how to turn a page.
• Big Eater: It's implied that he spends most of his pocket change at Bueno Nacho. Taken to extremes during "Grande Size Me."
• Birds of a Feather: He shares some of his geeky interests with Mr. Dr. Possible, like their love for Captain Constellation.
• Book Dumb: To further contrast with Kim, he's a poor student. It's played for drama in the final season when he's afraid their grade differences will mean college separation.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: "Grade Point Average: you care, I don't." Yet with a simple shift in morality he's building weather machines and doomsday devices that put Drakken's best to shame.
• Brutal Honesty: Ron usually blurts out whatever is on his mind, so he tends to give uncomfortable or awkward truths straight without being sensitive or sparing any feelings, even (maybe even especially) Kim's - albeit because he's tactless and doesn't get why people hide things, rather than because he's trying to be direct. This becomes even more of a Running Gag after they start dating: rather than say her hair looks good after it's been wrecked by a supervillain, he's more likely to obliviously muse about how he's supposed to tell her that without actually doing it.
• Bully Hunter: A crucial part of the backstory behind his friendship with Kim. On their first day of preschool, Kim first meets Ron when he stands up for her against some playground bullies (a de-aged Drakken, Killigan, and Monkey Fist).
• Butt-Monkey: A Running Gag is his pants falling down or ripping, or getting lost somehow.
• Casanova Wannabe: In "Crush", he tries to be smooth and ask out a lot of girls to the dance, but ultimately gets rejected.
• Catchphrase:
  • "That is sick and wrong!"
  • "Booyah!!"
    • Which morphs into an Evil Laugh when his Superpowered Evil Side kicks in.
  • "That would be so cool if that wasn't gonna hurt us/the last thing we were ever gonna see!"
  • “Bon Diggity” for things he finds awesome.
• Character Development: Ron grows from a useless goof loser to something of a Cloudcuckoolander who can get the job done.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: Not to the extent of Kim, but he occasionally shows superhuman abilities, like cutting a tree in half with a single kick in “Exchange”.
• Chick Magnet: Many girls have found him attractive. Just ask Kim, Tara, Zita, and Yori. He also had some Ship Tease with Bonnie.
• Childhood Friend: While it's mentioned early on that Ron and Kim have known each other since early childhood, the movie A Sitch in Time actually shows their first meeting, on the first day of kindergarten. They're Platonic Life-Partners right up to So the Drama, where they undergo a Relationship Upgrade to Childhood Friend Romance.
• Childhood Friend Romance: With Kim. He has been her best friend since preschool and according to a comment Kim made, it took them at least twelve years to become a couple.
• The Chosen One: He is the Monkey Master.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Ron marches to the beat fo his own drum and generally does some very odd things. He also has exhibited several instances of The Cuckoolander Was Right where he will come up with some off-the-wall supposition about what is actually happening, which other characters will scoff at.
• Clueless Chick-Magnet:
  • He didn't realize Tara liked him until after she was dating Josh and only because Kim told him.
  • He didn't realize Yori liked him in that way until after their final meeting in the third season when she kissed him on the cheek and again, because Kim told him. He does actually question why girls aren't just more direct in telling someone they like them.
  • As for Kim herself... the way she put it was that it took him "twelve stinkin' years" just to kiss her.
• Comedic Underwear Exposure: One of the show's most well-known running gags involves him losing his pants or even get unwittingly stripped down to his boxer shorts in some way, to the point where his Happy Meal toy from McDonald's had "Pants-losing action".
• Cool Big Bro: He was initially aloof to Hana when she first came but quickly grew to love her. He's now an attentive, caring, and supportive brother.
• Cool Kid-and-Loser Friendship: The Loser (unpopular underachiever) to Kim's Cool Kid (popular overachiever). They eventually have a Relationship Upgrade.
• Cowardly Lion: His fears do not stop him from helping Kim. He may be afraid for his life, but he's still going in screaming to save the world. Kim's cousin admits this as why she decides to look up to Ron after a period of looking up to Kim.
• Cowardly Sidekick: Most of his action is running away and screaming. He even has a panic room.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Starts appearing in "Sink Or Swim," and pops up more and more often, usually shown when Kim was unavailable or incapacitated for whatever reason. In the grand finale, he saves Kim's life (and the world) by using his monkey powers, which some fans likened unto a Super Saiyan transformation.
• Cultural Rebel: Subverted and downplayed. Ron is of Jewish descent and does partake in Hanukkah and Kosher meals, but he also loves Christmas dearly.
• The Cutie: Cute, endearing, rarely hurts others? Yes, Ron's a rare male example of this trope.
• Deadpan Snarker: Not as much as Kim, but he has his moments. Doesn’t help that most villains make it way too easy.
• Defence Mechanism Super Power: From the moment he got his Mystical Monkey Powers, they came and went in times of dire situations. This was lampshaded in "Team Impossible". It wasn't until the moment when Kim was in mortal danger that he achieved full control over it.
• Deuteragonist: The second main focus after Kim.
• Disproportionate Retribution: While under the influence of the Attitudinator, his solution to get rid of Cousin Shaun after years of pent up frustration and torment is to retool his trike into an ATV that turns into a massive plasma catapult and blast Shaun apart with it.
• Distressed Dude: Prone to being captured a lot by villains, usually due to his association with Kim.
• The Dreaded: Not normally, but his Superpowered Evil Side scares everyone, including the unflappable Shego. When Ron was briefly turned evil again in "Stop Team Go", cue a simultaneous Oh, Crap! from Kim and Shego, and Ron mowing down Wego clones with contemptuous ease.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: Despite being an important factor to Kim’s success, he gets no recognition for helping her saving the world (not even Kim seems to receive much recognition for it) and the villains are prone to forget his name.
• Dumb Blonde: Subverted. He's a poor student, but a natural at cooking and learned a lot about survival at camp. He was also the one to figure out that Dr. Drakken had taken over Bueno Nacho.
• Empowered Badass Normal: Was normal at first and then he gets Mystic Monkey Powers in Monkey Fist Strikes. After that he enters this area off and on until the Grand Finale where he learns to control it completely and because of that, from that point on he clearly outclasses both Kim and Shego put together in terms of combat ability.
• Endearingly Dorky: He's a huge dork, and often an awkward and clumsy sidekick, but his loyalty to Kim and his unabashed optimism make him adorable. He's the Trope Namer for Give Geeks a Chance, as his popular and beautiful friend Kim eventually develops feelings for him. Kim admits that Ron is weird, but she likes that about him.
• Epic Fail: More than a few.
  • Jumping fences leads to him ripping his pants. Making two such jumps without ripping his pants was a major achievement.
  • His attempts at mundane Monkey Kung Fu lead to hurting himself or losing his pants.
  • During the "Big Bother" Egg Sitting assignment, he lost "Sacky" after two hours. By the end of the episode, he's bought all of the flour at Smarty Mart and is at Sacky MCMXXXIIII (The proper way of writing it would be MCMXXXIV). He went through 1934 bags, and still got an F- because the last one was sugar.
• Everyone Is Christian at Christmas: Despite being explicitly Jewish, he's still a massive fan of the Christmas holiday, spending nearly every year celebrating it at the Possible home.
• Evil Costume Switch: While under the effects of the Attitudinator his skin turns blue and he starts wearing a fictional villain's costume for the rest of the episode.
• Eviler than Thou: While under the influence of the Attitudinator, he manages to outdo Shego, Drakken and Electronique as a villain. He proves to be more efficient at planning schemes, multitasking and using technology than Drakken, cows Shego into submission, and almost hijacks Electronique's plot while mocking her for her short-sightedness and nearly turning Kim evil twice.
  Ron: Oh, you're going about this all wrong! You're acting like an evil poser!
• Evil Is Hammy: Hoo boy. Both times he gets turned evil by the Attitudinator, he ramps up the ham.
  "BoooyaaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
• Face Your Fears: A recurring theme in the show is that Ron has to confront his fears in order to aid Kim. One of the most prominent examples is with his fear of monkeys; he has to confront them when he faces off against Monkey Fist alone by absorbing the Mystic Monkey Power that Monkey Fist used on himself. Ron's fear of monkeys is still present in later episodes, but lessened over time; in The Movie, when ten-year-old Ron panics at the sight of a giant stone monkey, teenage Ron brushes it off while saying, "Dude, personal space."
• Fatal Flaw: The moment he has any hint of popularity, he takes it too far. The best examples would be when he got a new haircut and when he briefly became a millionaire. Also, by his own admission, paranoia.
• The Fool: Has elements of this, notably the "blundering towards success" part. Just call it The Ron Factor!
  Ron: Not dumb luck, Kim! Dumb skill!
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Justified. Ron is the Responsible to Hana's Foolish because the latter is an infant who doesn't comprehend the dangers around her while Ron does.
• Freudian Slip: In Overdue, when Ron searches various villain lairs for a lost book without Kim (who was stuck in library lockup at the time), Shego wonders where Kim is. Ron loudly blurts out that she isn't his girlfriend.
• Friend-or-Idol Decision: In the episode "Bueno Nacho" after he is promoted to manager position at Bueno Nacho, he's forced to choose between his job or saving his friend, Kim. He chooses the latter.
• Funny Bruce Lee Noises: Most of his attempts at martial arts (except for a few occasions when his Mystical Monkey Power comes to the fore).
• Genre Savvy: Ron is just as aware of villain clichés as Kim. Sometimes he points out that they should have expected some of the things the villains do. When he goes evil, this carries over, making him one of the most dangerous villains in the show.
• Glasses of Aging: Whereas Kim's older self from the bonus material of A Sitch in Time is shown to be wearing an Eyepatch of Power, Ron wears a pair of glasses not unlike his parents.
• Gleeful and Grumpy Pairing: The relaxed Gleeful to Kim's uptight Grumpy.
• Green-Eyed Epiphany: In So The Drama, his jealousy towards Kim and Eric's relationship is ultimately what makes him realize that he has feelings for Kim.
• Green-Eyed Monster: While the series provides little to no instances, Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama has him oozing jealously over Kim and Eric until Eric reveals himself as a synthodrone and Ron gives his love confession to Kim.
• Heroic BSoD: He suffers from one in episodes such as "Odds Man In" and "Graduation". In both cases, Kim being in danger snaps him out of it.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: An interspecies example with Rufus, the mole rat that lives in his cargo pants pocket.
  • Also, with Felix Renton, one of the few characters in the series who is closer to him than he is to Kim, to the point that Kim actually gets jealous of their friendship.
• Hidden Depths: Many episodes, especially in the first couple of seasons, make it a point that Ron's self-confidence and free spirited attitude mean he rarely has an issue with the insecurities or social issues that stress Kim out, and he's often wise in the lessons Kim needs to learn in given episodes simply by way of knowing how to take things as they come - though this changes towards the end of the show. And that's before getting into the specific skills he turns out to have, like his culinary ability.
• Hilariously Abusive Childhood: His childhood was molded by him going to a run-down summer camp where he lived in an insect-infested cabin with the camp's chimp mascot, while the lake was clearly toxic and was later revealed to have mutagenic properties. There are numerous hints that his parents neglect him, but this comes out the most in his relationship with his teacher and Kim's family, which is funny until you realize he feels closer to them than he does his folks.
• Horrifying the Horror: Whenever he gets extremely serious in regards to fighting, he terrifies basically every other villain around him, most notably Shego when he was turned evil by the Attitudinator.
• I Just Want to Be Special: Oddly enough, he combines with Brilliant, but Lazy. He has the potential to be something special but doesn't work nearly as hard at it as Kim. Depending on the episode one will be more prominent than the other.
• Informed Judaism: Mentioned in the show a few times, such as in "Ron the Man" (where he talks about reading from the Torah and one of the guest stars is his rabbi) but the bit about not mixing meat and dairy obviously didn't take. He's probably not that serious about his religion because he's not that serious about anything.
• Insecure Love Interest: Especially in season 4. Ron feels like he is unworthy of dating Kim, which inspires him to step up more often.
• In-Series Nickname: He becomes known as "Unstoppable Stoppable" in Ill-Suited, when he cheats his way onto the football team by using Kim's battlesuit. The name sticks when he begins playing honestly as the team's running-back. Due to the "mad running away skills" he acquired through years of encounters with supervillains and deathtraps, none of the other players can catch him.
• In Touch with His Feminine Side: Sure, as Kim's sidekick and master of Mystical Monkey Powers he regularly saves the world, but he is also a dab hand at cookery, keeps a (pink!) naked mole rat as his pet, and is obsessed with trick-or-treating (the photo of him and Kim dressed up as a princess and a cowboy... respectively) and a certain Christmas animated special.
• Irony: Despite having a huge fear of monkeys, one of his two Animal Motifs are monkeys.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: He was going to pull one of this on So the Drama if Kim had not returned his feelings and It’s heavily implied he was going to do the same in the grand finale if him and Kim hadn’t gotten into the same college.
  Ron: After graduation you're.....you're headed to the stars and ummmm...I'm stuck on earth. But I don't want to hold you back. So whatever happens, I'm okay with it.
• Jerkass Ball:
  • "Ron Millionaire" has him winning $99 million and becoming self-absorbed.
  • "Grande Size Me" focuses on him proving his point that unhealthy foods aren't terrible, to the point where he becomes stubborn about it.
• Keet: Downplayed. He's more of a Mellow Fellow, but can become energetic at times more so than Kim.
• Kiddie Kid: A prime example would be the "Coach Possible" episode where, unlike most high schoolers, he doesn't mind hanging out at the local Suck E. Cheese's and is horrified when the villains steal, then redress his favorite animatronic. "PIZZAPOTAMUS!!! NOOO!!!"
• The Lancer: Kim's second in command (out of three) and Foil.
• Laugh of Love: He giggled when Yori kissed him on the cheek at the end of "Gorilla Fist", much to Kim's clear jealousy.
• Leitmotif: Evil!Ron's theme is Bach's "Toccata and Fugue".
• Let's Get Dangerous!: Has his fair share of moments of this through out the series, most notably on episodes that centers around him.
• Lovable Jock: He doesn't get the "jock" part until the last season (as the star running back), but even afterwards he still keeps his Nice Guy Cloudcuckoolander personality.
• Manly Man and Sensitive Guy: The cautious, sensitive, nerdy guy to Mr. Barkin's manly, hotheaded, military man, which becomes increasingly apparent in seasons 3 and 4, when they're partnered up more often in episodes.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Feminine Boy to Kim's Masculine Girl. She's a relentless overachiever who knows "sixteen forms of kung fu," set herself up as an international Teen Superspy, and kicks supervillain butt. He rarely fails to back her up and has his badass moments but is an easygoing type and is much better in the kitchen than on the battlefield. We see their old Halloween costumes - Kim as a cowboy, Ron as a ballerina. Nuff said.
• Meaningful Name: His name is a play on the words "unstoppable".
  • In season 4 he joined the football team as the running quarterback his abilities gained him the nickname "Unstoppable Stoppable".
  • His last name also ties to the prophecy of the Yono and Hana/Han: "Loving the weapon [Han] will make it unstoppable". When Hana was adopted by Ron’s family she became a Stoppable, thus making her 'Han Stoppable' which phonetically is a play on the word "Unstoppable".
  • If Kim were to marry Ron and take his last name her full name would be 'Kimberly Ann Stoppable' Aka Kim "Unstoppable".
• Mellow Fellow: He's a generally laid back person.
• Mighty Whitey: It's Played With a bit and surprisingly justified. He's the Mystical Monkey Master, endowed with the full powers of Monkey Kung Fu. He's also a white Jewish-American. However, the reason he is the Mystical Monkey Master is because the candidates are those who are exposed to the mystic energies of the four monkey totems, being himself, Monkey Fist and Rufus, who was in Ron's pocket. With Monkey Fist being evil and Rufus being a mole rat, that left Ron as the only viable option by default (especially since he and Rufus broke the totems during Monkey Fist's debut episode, also where the three get endowed). Furthermore, Ron goes through a lot of trouble in order to achieve what he needed to do to become said Monkey Master, including conquering his fear of monkeys so it's a good part of his Character Development. It's also parodied as the other ninjas are more skilled than him in the normal style while he always loses his pants.
• Misplaced Retribution: More like misplaced fear. His fear of monkeys was born from having Camp Wannaweep's mascot, Bobo, as his roommate. Bobo was said by Ron to be a very violent animal that made his days even worse. However, as Kim and Monkey Fist pointed out, Bobo was a chimpanzee (an ape) and not a monkey. Ron, being Ron, fails to see the difference.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: He is very thin, with virtually no muscle definition, but like Kim, he is capable of fighting people twice his size with ease, when the situation calls for it.
  • In the Bad Future, he bent Drakken’s hand backwards and threw him away effortlessly. This would not have been notable, if it weren’t for the fact that this is the Future Badass version of Drakken who was a hulking brute and fought Kim and Monique without any trouble.
  • He easily fought and defeated Fukushima (who is bigger and more muscular than him), without having to tap into his mystical monkey powers. In the same episode, he cut a tree in half with a single kick.
  • In So the Drama he accidentally Offhand Backhanded the Sumo ninja, defeating him for good. Later he kicked Eric/Synthodrone 901 in the chin so hard, his head turned backwards. The only reason it didn’t kill him is because he is a Synthodrone and was thus able to snap his neck back in place.
  • In the Grand Finale, he fought and defeated Warhok and Warmonga single handedly. Granted this time, he had to use his mystical monkey powers, but his opponents were over nine feet tall.
• Nice Guy: He's friendly and doesn't hold a grudge. He's more upset that Drakken can't get his name right than all the evil plans he hatches.
• Nice Jewish Boy: See Informed Judaism. He's both nice and Jewish, but the former is more apparent than the later.
• No Guy Wants to Be Chased: Justified in "Emotion Sickness" since Kim under the effects of the Moodulator didn't just act flirty to him but became an obsessive stalker who didn't leave him alone, forcibly kissed him against his consent, and was all-around behaving like a bipolar nutjob.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: When Ron is turned evil he becomes exponentially more dangerous, being able to build superweapons out of household materials to mask his plans involving the other superweapons he was building at the same time. He also hacks Kim's communications to track her rather than rely on radar and figured out how to utilize numerous inventions and contraptions in Drakken's lair to his advantage even when Drakken himself couldn't use them. Even Shego is unnerved by how scarily competent Ron can be even when his ultimate goal is simply to take all of the Nacos in the world, and lampshades this the next time he's turned evil in "Stop Team Go!".
  Hego: What happened to him?
  Shego: I think he's evil now.
  Hego: Oh. How bad could that be?
  Shego: You'd be surprised...
  (Ron quickly takes out dozens of Wego Twins while laughing maniacally)
  Ron: You want evil? I'll show you evil! Boo-ya-haha-ha-ha!
• Oblivious to Love: He's not particularly observant of when females have a clear attraction to him.
  • He doesn't realize that Tara is crushing on him in “Sink or Swim”. To be fair, though, he was reliving his worst memories of Camp Wannaweep at that time, so he may have been a little distracted.
  • He doesn’t realize Yori liked him that way, despite obviously being attracted to her himself.
  • When a lovestruck Kim flirtily runs her fingers through his shirt, in “Emotion Sickness”, he is more concerned about her ruining the fabric.
  • In So the Drama, even after he reveals his feelings for Kim to her, when she wants to take him as her date to the prom, he has no idea what she is talking about.
    Kim: (suggestively) You know Ron, we better hurry.
    Ron: Hurry where?
    Kim: (takes his hand) You’ll see.
• Official Couple: Becomes Kim's boyfriend in season 4.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Ron is very chill, barely gets mad and is not prone in taking initiative, the few instances in which he became truly serious were because something he cared about was in danger, or when a Mirror Morality Machine was involved.
• Opposites Attract: With Kim; serious overachiever and goofy underachiever. They balance each other out very well; on Ron's side, she pushes him to overcome both his fear and his laziness so he can utilize his vast potential.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Ron is a capable hand-to-hand fighter, and there are a few times he's had to save the day himself and did so just fine. However, when his teammates are Kim and Rufus, he stands out as the weaker link of the three.
• Personality Swap: In the episode "Bad Boy" Ron is trying to conquer the world with Shego, at which he turns out to be amazingly effective. Meanwhile Drakken ends up making 'Cocomoo' and cookies for his henchmen.
• Plucky Comic Relief: As Kim's foil he is goofy and prone to jokes.
• Properly Paranoid: Believe it or not, some of his kooky paranoid theories are actually true. This is especially true when it comes to his freaking out over Camp Wannaweep. While everyone else balks at his claims that it's "a place of evil", every single time it's remotely involved in anything nothing good can come from it.
• Punny Name: "Unstoppable".
• Redemption Promotion: Inverted. Both times the Attitudinator alters Ron to the Dark Side, he is extremely effective. He was even able to intimidate Shego, something which no other character in the show can do. Most notably, however, he was able to come up with a plan with the device that made Electronique's plan to turn Team Go evil to shame — by turning Kim evil. That, almost assuredly, would've been a disaster.
• Relationship Upgrade: She and Ron are just childhood friends for most of the series until they share a Big Damn Kiss in the movie, thus becoming an Official Couple.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Attempted in So the Drama after 901 zapped Kim, after which he leaped straight from the ground floor to the ledge they were on and charged straight at him. He thought Kim was "down for the count". He immediately got clotheslined by Shego before he could get close, though.
• Running Gag:
  • His pants keep getting ripped off during missions. It was iconic enough that it helped restore Kim's memory of him at one point.
  • Drakken has a hard time remembering his name and almost all recurring villains do as well. Only the Señors, Gill, and Monkey Fist remember his name, with the Señors still failing in one occasion.
• Scary Teeth: When he turns blue after absorbing Drakken's evil, his teeth design changes from a simple Tooth Strip to displaying each individual tooth similar to Drakken's design.
• Screams Like a Little Girl: He insists that they're "manly screams of courage."
• Shadow Archetype: As Zorpox. Ron is most of the time a follower not a leader, with a few exceptions when the chips are down, most notably when Kim it’s not available, while as Zorpox he’s shown to like being the boss. Ron is also very clumsy, rarely showing his ability on material arts outside of very few occasions, but as Zorpox he was able to dispatch an army of Wegos in what could be a matter of seconds and according to one of Kim’s comments Ron is not very good with mechanics. But based on Drakken shown to still be skilled with technology even after being turned good, and on Shego’s remarks that Drakken was never able to build doomsday devices as Ron does. It suggests that Ron might have untapped potential on that area.
• Sidekick: Kim's hero help. This is commented on often.
• Sidekick Graduations Stick: It's pretty obvious that after his incredible heroics in the Grand Finale that he becomes a full-fledged partner to Kim. What makes it really amusing is that the episode in question was known as "Graduation."
• Sidekick Song: "The Naked Mole Rap" was made up on the spot to buy time for Kim.
• Skewed Priorities: Half the reason he’s not as effective as Kim. When he gets a thought in his head that he considers important (whether or not it actually is), he has a tendency to fixate on it at the expense of all else.
• The Slacker: Unlike his Type A partner and best friend Kim, he is content in kicking back, lazing around and relaxing. One of the reasons it makes him like Shego, is that they both enjoy relaxing and prefer to follow their more driven partners.
• Spanner in the Works: If there's a plan, expect Ron to ruin it, especially if you're a bad guy. This trope is lampshaded in an episode by calling it "The Ron Factor." The real cause is identified as "The Rufus Factor."
• Spotlight-Stealing Squad: The fourth season was greenlighted by Ron's website so he has a lot more screentime in that season.
• Straight Man and Wise Guy: The wise guy to Kim’s straight man. Kim is a grade A student and she is more focused and serious, compared to Ron who it’s completely content on getting C and is more tolerant and easy going than Kim. He also provides different crazy perspectives to Kim’s more rational way of thinking which sometimes tend to be correct.
• Superpowered Evil Side: He's... frighteningly competent when he's evil. He can intimidate Shego into shutting up and doing as she's told.
• Supreme Chef: Ron proves to be quite the formidable chef in the episode "Two To Tutor." He gathers so much attention for his cooking, he takes over the cafeteria duties and impresses Barkin. Too bad he got closed down when the health inspector noticed it was Rufus serving the food (though it did seem like no one else was bothered).
  • He also personally came up with Bueno Nacho's signature menu item, the Naco, a taco with the works topped with cheesy nachos.
• Taking the Bullet: A non-lethal version in the video game Legend of the Monkey's Eye. He moves in the way of Monkey Fist firing the titular artifact at Kim to turn her into a monkey, taking the blast of energy and being transformed in her place.
• This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Ron's main role in the team is to serve as a distraction while Kim completes the actual plan (though he also serves as a very good Spanner in the Works, much to the pain of many villains). However, whenever Camp Wannaweep is involved (which is surprisingly more often than one would expect), he rises to the occasion and tends to be more assertive. He's also got a pretty good affinity for animals.
• This Loser Is You:
  • Played straight for three seasons; "An underachiever, a social outcast, who smells of overripe fruit." That's the Pink Sloth.
  • Inverted in Season 4; Record-Setting Running Back, Homecoming King, dating the head cheerleader. Yet Bonnie STILL thinks of him as a loser, even after she's crowned Homecoming Queen.
• Took a Level in Badass: In the Grand Finale. One could argue that it's a step up that he's been cultivating since the fourth season started (or perhaps even since he first got exposed to it). With his full mastery over his Mystical Monkey Power, it's clear he now outclasses Kim in terms of combat ability.
• Took a Level in Dumbass: He moves from Book Dumb and unmotivated in earlier seasons to several moments of Too Dumb to Live in the latter seasons. In A Sitch in Time, he was smarter as a four-year-old.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Anything served at Bueno Nacho. Special attention goes to the Naco, which he created early in the series.
• Underestimating Badassery: He is constantly considered a fool and harmless by villains ...at least until he causes their lairs to blow up. The ones who really underestimated him and paid the price were the Alien Invaders that attacked the Earth in the Grand Finale, who planned to make Kim into a trophy. Big mistake.
• Undying Loyalty: Devotion to his girlfriend, Kim, has pushed him out of his panic room and away from a part-time job that he loved and excelled at.
• The Un-Favourite: Very subtly implied. It’s hinted that his mom may have wanted a girl and his parents later go and adopt a baby girl and change Ron’s room into a nursery relegating his room to the attic. And as a child he is dressed as a ballerina for Halloween and his mom gets him a cooking oven with pink gloves.
• Unfortunate Names: It doesn't really help that his last name is "Stoppable", and he quite lives up to it. Ron can be a bit buffoonish to the point of being a Butt-Monkey. This gets brought up in Season 4.
• Unlucky Everydude: His parents rarely seem to be around, their approach to moving to Norway or adopting a baby is to present him with the outcome, he can never get a date, he's constantly picked on and considered a loser (despite being the valued sidekick to a world-saving heroine), and is the ne'er-do-well sidekick to the main character. It's dropped in the fourth season.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom:
  • Had he not traded his swimming time with Gil's arts and crafts time at summer camp, the latter wouldn't have been so exposed to the lake's toxic water and mutated into Gill.
  • It was Ron who first suggested to Señor Senior, Senior, that he turn into villainy when he and Kim went to teach him about energy conservation after his island had unwittingly sucked up all energy from Europe, as the latter already had a fine place for a Supervillain Lair (only needing relatively small improvements) and lots of resources and time at his disposal.
• Verbal Tic: He sometimes attaches an "-age" suffix onto certain words. "Snackage" being an example.
• Vocal Evolution: His voice gradually becomes more high-pitched as the show goes on.
• Villain Has a Point: While turned evil in "Stop Team Go", he rightfully points out that Electronique's priorities are skewered even as he attempts to steal the Attitudinator from her and hijack her scheme. Electronique tunnel visioned on turning all of Team Go into her evil henchpeople so much that she failed to consider Kim, Ron, and Rufus as variables. After accidentally being turned evil, Ron almost pulls the rug out from under her and nearly hijacks her scheme, and Kim and Rufus being the only ones not hit or targeted by the Attitudinator left them able to foil the plot and turn everyone good again.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Gender-flipped. Don't ever threaten to hurt Kim in front of him. Warhok and Warmonga found out the hard way in the finale.
• What a Piece of Junk: His scooter has often been mocked for its low speed, but he still managed to outrun Drakken and Mr. Barkin who were driving a hovercraft and a car respectively in "Tick-Tick-Tick" as well as the army of sprinting Li'l Diablos in So the Drama, and that was before it was upgraded with Jim and Tim's rockets.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?:
  • Due to a rather traumatic experience at camp when he was young (as in being forced to share a cabin with the mascot), Ron has an intense phobia of monkeys.
  • He is also afraid of insects, spiders, mechanical horses (yes, specifically mechanical), ghosts and an admittingly very eerie garden gnome at his home.
  • Camp Wannaweep is especially this since it is where he got his monkey fear in the first place, presumably alongside the exposure to the insects, spiders and whatever problems the camp had.
• Yank the Dog's Chain He never seemed to come out on top in the first three seasons. At the most extreme levels of yankage he somehow managed to get all of his 99 million dollars he got from Bueno Nacho stolen by keeping it all in his pants, leaving him with nothing (though most can't figure out what happened with the continued royalties after that payment). His luck seemed to change later on, this trope being effectually subverted at the fourth and last season.
• Youthful Freckles: Less mature than Kim, who lost her own freckles over the years. Ironically, she spends more time outside while he's more likely to be inside slacking off.

Rufus

Rufus

Voiced by: Nancy Cartwright

Appearances: Kim Possible | Kim Possible: Revenge of Monkey Fist | Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time | Kim Possible 2: Drakken's Demise | Kim Possible 3: Team Possible | Kim Possible: Kimmunicator | Kim Possible: Legend of the Monkey's Eye | Kim Possible: What's the Switch? | Kim Possible: Global Gemini | Kim Possible: So the Drama

Rufus is Ron's beloved pet. Ron could only have a hairless pet on account of the fact that his dad's allergic to fur and feathers, so he purchased Rufus, a naked mole rat. He lives most of the time in either Ron's pocket or his locker at school, and was first introduced to Kim on their first major mission, where she pronounced him "gross but handy."

---

• Artistic License – Animal Care: A real naked mole rat wouldn't survive in Ron's pocket, much less eat anything from a place like Bueno Nacho.
• Badass Adorable: A rodent that assists in wiping out super villains.
• Big Eater: He is seen multiple times snacking on food.
• Black Bead Eyes: Truth in Television, considering that naked mole rats don't have sclera.
• Colossus Climb: Rufus occasionally pulls this off against human targets, but the creators are careful to avoid overusing it.
• Creepy Hairless Animal: Subverted. When Ron was looking for a hairless pet because of his father's allergies to fur, he found Rufus. His parents and Kim were freaked out by Rufus' appearance at first because Rufus was a baby at the time and looked much creepier than he would later look as an adult, with bulging eyes and visible veins showing through his skin. Eventually, however, they began to love him and he became the Team Pet.
• Fastball Special: Ron can throw him to high places.
• Funny Animal: Despite being an animal in a mostly human cast who doesn't always speak coherently, Rufus often stands on all fours, makes funny noises and shares in his owner's goofiness.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: An interspecies example with Ron. He's Ron's best male friend.
• Hypercompetent Sidekick: Rufus constantly alters machinery, breaks the duo out of sticky situations, and is oftentimes more composed and reasonable than his owner, which says a lot about both Rufus and Ron.
• Ironic Name: "Rufus" is Latin for "red-haired" or "redhead". Being a naked mole rat, he doesn't have any hair.
• Killer Rabbit: He may look like a harmless naked mole rat, but being imbued with Mystical Monkey Power makes Rufus an extremely dangerous creature despite his small size. He's demonstrated more control over it than Ron and has used it to get himself and Ron out of situations by quickly defeating their enemies.
• Meaningful Name:
  • A Sitch in Time shows the audience that Rufus was named after Ron's imaginary friend from early childhood.
  • Out-of-universe, his name was inspired by the Rufous-beaked snake, a natural predator of the naked mole rat.
• Mr. Vice Guy: He can be somewhat mischievous but he is a Badass Adorable pet who deeply cares for his friends and is eternally loyal to them.
• Non-Human Sidekick: He's a naked mole rat accompanying two humans.
• Pet Gets the Keys: Numerous times when Kim and Ron get captured, it's up to Rufus to get them free.
• Shipper on Deck: When Ron shows interest in any girl other than Kim, or Kim shows any interest in boys other than Ron, Rufus makes a noise of disgust. Any scenes with Ron and Kim together get the animal to make an "aww" sound. He even helped them get over their nervousness of their first date by pushing them towards each other so they could dance.
• Silent Snarker: Stares and faceplams in regards to Ron's buffoonery.
• Speech-Impaired Animal: He mostly communicates in squeaks and growls, with the periodic multi-word burst of intelligible speech.
• Team Pet: The mascot for Team Possible.
• UltimateGamer386: In the MMORPG Everlot, he is known as the Tunnel Lord, a quasi-mythical player of extraordinary power. Though he hasn't logged in for some time.
• Undying Loyalty: To Kim and Ron, especially the latter, for whom he will brave any danger to assist.
• Unusual Pets for Unusual People: While Ron mainly got Rufus as a pet due to his dad's allergies to fur and feathers, the fact that Rufus is a naked mole rat of all things still does well to highlight his owner's offbeat Cloudcuckoolander nature.

Voiced by: Tahj Mowry/Michael Clarke Duncan (Future Wade)

Appearances: Kim Possible | Kim Possible: Revenge of Monkey Fist | Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time | Kim Possible 2: Drakken's Demise | Kim Possible 3: Team Possible | Kim Possible: Kimmunicator | Kim Possible: Legend of the Monkey's Eye | Kim Possible: What's the Switch? | Kim Possible: Global Gemini | Kim Possible: So the Drama

A 10-year old genius who provides Kim with all of her information, missions and gadgets. Rarely ever seen away from his computer or out of his room. Took a Level in Badass in "Sitch In Time" as an adult.

---

• All There in the Manual: The only place his last name is given is in the story bible written before production began. As the bible contained a number of character details that were changed for the series, the name's canonicity is dubious.
• Berserk Button: "Nobody, NOBODY SPIKES MY SYSTEM!"
• Beware the Nice Ones: Wade is very loyal, likable, and helpful of his friends but nobody! Nobody messes with his systems.
• Black and Nerdy: He's of African descent, and has advanced knowledge/skills in anything engineering-/physics-/computer science-related.
• Blue Means Smart One: Wade is a Child Prodigy who serves as The Smart Guy and Mission Control of Kim's team. He also created most of Kim's gadgets, such as the Kimmunicator. He's almost always wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans.
• Brainy Brunette: Other than Rufus, he tends to be the smartest member of Kim's team.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: It's ambiguous; he spends an awful lot of time in his room but he's also making Kim's spy gear and arranging her rides to missions. You could say he is both physically lazy and constantly busy.
• Child Prodigy: He's graduated both high school and college at the age of ten.
• A Day in the Limelight: Normally played for little more than Exposition and the occasional new gadget, but the Season 4 episode "The Cupid Effect" gave him some new personality traits (including his first crush!) and had him directly instigate the plot.
• Future Badass: As mentioned, "A Sitch in Time"; he's The Leader of La Résistance and becomes a Gentle Giant. Badass enough for ya?
• Gadgeteer Genius: He makes all of Kim and Ron's gear.
• Geek Physiques: He's somewhat overweight, and is a Brainy Brunette Child Prodigy.
• Hacker Cave: Wade is usually (the first exception was in Season 3) seen in his room via webcam.
• He Who Must Not Be Seen: Although it's more like "He Who Must Not Be Seen Outside His Room" until late Season 3^note "Team Impossible" and some of season 4^note "The Cupid Effect", "Odds Man In", "Cap'n Drakken", "Homecoming Upset" and the second part of "Graduation".
• Mission Control: For Kim and Ron. He manages Kim's web site and provides information through the Kimunicator.
• Nice Guy: Wade is a very likable, kind, and helpful kid.
• Non-Action Guy: He typically does not directly participate on missions, though he's still very valuable to Kim and Ron nonetheless.
• Non-Indicative Name: His last name might indicate he's The Load, but he's actually one of the most useful members on the team, with him creating various gadgets that help Kim and Ron on their missions. In addition, He's also a Child Prodigy whereas most loads are usually ditzy.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: How mad did Team Impossible spiking his system made him? Mad enough to show up and deliver payback to the perpetrators in person.
• Precocious Crush: On Monique in "The Cupid Effect". She's several years older than him.
• Punny Name: Change the "a" in his first name to "i", and you get Wide Load - appropriate for a chubby guy like him.
• Running Gag: Left his room once during three seasons, even using teleoperated robots as a substitute.
• The Smart Guy: Ten (later twelve) year old super genius who makes Kim's gear and monitors her website and arranges rides.
• Stealth Pun: He's The Smart Guy...and he's voiced by the former lead of the series Smart Guy - which also happens to be about a preteen child prodigy.
• Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Smart Guy to Kim's Strong Girl. Wade is a Non-Action Guy but provides Kim with all the gadgets and information she needs to fight her foes.
• Teen Genius: Preteen genius, but the trope fits like a glove considering his science smarts.
• Took a Level in Badass: In Sitch in Time, future Wade is a Gentle Giant commando.
• Voice with an Internet Connection: In the initial seasons he communicated with Kim through computers and the Kimunicator.
• Younger Than They Look: Despite being ten, he looks and sounds like he's at least thirteen.
• Youthful Freckles: The same case as Ron but more so because he rarely leaves his room.
