context_page_description: James Isaac Neutron is the titular and main character from the film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and its spin-off Nickelodeon computer animated television series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius. Created by show runner John A. Davis, he is voiced by Debi Derryberry since the test pilot premiered in 1998.
  The character originally rooted from the 1980s by Davis and series co-creator Keith Alcorn under the name of Johnny Quasar, with a 13-minute long short film pitched to SIGGRAPH sometime in 1997 with production beginning in that year. However, since the name sounded eerily identical to Jonny Quest, Davis brain-stormed various other monikers before coming up with his current name.
  Characterized by his distinctive gravity-defying hairstyle and ridiculously high IQ of two hundred ten, Neutron is considered one of the most intelligent people in Retroville. Throughout the series, he was almost never seen without his companion, a silver-gray robot dog named Goddard and a rocket ship nicknamed the Strato XL which he uses in the opening sequence. Furthermore, Neutron has a perennial rival with Cindy who usually makes fun of him of his height.
context_section_description: Jimmy Neutron was played by female voice actor Debi Derryberry, who would continue to play the character in the TV series and film. Derryberry's biggest acting role at the time, as previously she had mostly provided minor roles in films and TV shows. This is the second Nickelodeon character she voiced after Weenie from Oswald.
