Melvin Sneedly

Melvin Sneedly is one of the smartest, if not the smartest, students in Jerome Horwitz Elementary School. He is the son of Gaylord Sneedly, the recipient of "The Most Brilliant Science Guy of the Whole Wide World Award", and Cindy Sneedly. He is a tattletale, which is a source of irritation to other pupils. Melvin was briefly the Bionic Booger Boy as the result of a failed experiment.
He is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Mr. Krupp) of the Captain Underpants franchise.
==Personality==
Melvin is known to be a tattletale and has reported George and Harold at least twice. He is a boy genius, being able to create complex inventions including a time machine and a fusing device. He is also very selfish, and attempted to use Captain Underpants's powers for fame and glory, flat-out ignoring people being attacked by the Robo-Boogers. He has often hypocritically said "You guys are so immature!": showing his belief of superior maturity to his classmates. His tattletaling along with his attempt to use Captain Underpants powers for fame could be a result of his parents not giving him much attention at home.
Despite his high intelligence, Melvin seems to lack common sense at times: He ordered George and Harold to "...make up a story where I defeat Captain Underpants and become the world's greatest superhero." (as Mr. Melvin), without realizing that such a scenario would only make him the world's greatest supervillain. In book 11, however, for a whole year he was a superhero who saved the day albeit for glory and thrills as opposed to altruism. He then renounced his career after it made him work 24/7 and meddled with his inventions. 
He gains a bad sense of humor in the TV series, finding things like rotting fruit and misplaced carbon rods to be funny, which causes him to turn classmate Jessica Gordon into the fun draining Vimpire. Despite this, his heart is not cold, as when his future self tried to convince him to betray George and Harold, he finally had enough of the cyborg's antics, and his good deed eliminated him for good. Erica's future self said that this act of kindness could change him and his future for the better. 
At Summer Camp, he is very excited to make a comic book with George and very disappointed when George and Harold reunite and start ignoring him. This shows that somewhere inside Melvin is a quite lonely boy, and that perhaps he just needs some close friends to help him become a hero. 
In the Hack-a-Ween special, it's revealed Melvin hates Halloween due to being lonely and allergic to candy.
In the space travel arc, he unintentionally causes a space invasion when he believes that he can use the planet’s inhabitants to build up his potential science career.
