Dexter (Dexter's Laboratory)

Dexter, also known as Boy Genius, Dexstar, Little Brother, Dorkster, Dex and Dextor, is the main protagonist of Dexter's Laboratory series.
== Charactah Account ==
A scientific child prodigy boy genius who owns a secret lab in his house. Despite his high intelligence, Dexter often finds himself in many conflicts, from his backfired experiments to his ditzy older sister invading his lab and causing trouble.
Dexter tends to fail spectacularly at any form of physical activity, particularly sports until the backdrop changes from "sports" to "Deedee let a giant monster out of the wormhole machine."
Basically, he's an exaggerated stereotype of nerds are wimps up until science is involved. He's pretty handy with a wrench in matters of melee combat as well as mechanics and he can also go from deflecting lasers with his wrench like a Jedi to slap-fighting his rival and somehow manages to be in character both times.

== Trivia ==
* Dexter's voice actor is Christine Cavanaugh and Candi Milo in the series, but in Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion, it is Tara Strong, who is the voice of Bubbles from Cartoon Network's The Powerpuff Girls.
* Dexter's last name has never been revealed throughout the entire series.
* In the episode Go Dexter Family Go!, Dexter says his favorite color is orange, but in a previous episode he stated his favorite color was blue.
* Dexter speaks with a Russian accent, although the rest of his family doesn't.
** In "Ego Trip", his young adult self and his old man self didn't have Russian accents like he did, however his adult self did.
** Dexter's Russian accent is a reference to the accent Genndy Tartakovsky used to speak with when he was a little kid.
* Dexter's age is never mentioned in the series, but according to the song "Love According to Dexter", Dexter is said to be 8 years old.
* Dexter's astrological sign was first shown to be Capricorn in the episode "A Hard Day's Day," but the season 3 episode "Mind Over Chatter" lists his birthday as March 24, which would actually make him an Aries.
** However as seasons 3 and 4 were not overseen by series creator Genndy Tartakovsky, the validity of his birth date in said episode is questionable and was likely just an oversight by the staff in season 3.
* In seasons 1 and 2, Dexter had a longer head and a double chin and there were two visible buttons on his lab coat, but in seasons 3 and 4, he had a shorter head, no double chin, and had only one visible button.
* Although Dexter is the main character, there have been many episodes where he has not appeared.
* Dexter has made many cameos in episodes of The Powerpuff Girls. The reason for this is possibly because the creator of The Powerpuff Girls, Craig McCracken helped with making Dexter's Laboratory before he created The Powerpuff Girls.
** In the episode "Powerpuff Bluff" Dexter was seen sleeping with the other kids at Poakey Oaks Kindergarten.
** In the episode "Criss Cross Crises" when Professor Utonium was switching peoples bodies trying to turn them back, one of the people Mrs. Bellum switched bodies with was Dexter.
** In the episode "Forced Kin" when it showed the people that were looking up at Mojo Jojo's giant robot, one of them was Dexter.
** In the episode "Ploys R Us", Professor Untonium was seen getting a stuffed toy of Dexter as well as stuffed toys of Dee Dee and Monkey.
* In the episode "Dexter's Wacky Races" Dexter had a car that he invented in his laboratory that he was using in a race that has his parents in it. This means that he was exposing something from his lab to his mom and dad, although he and his parents were never directly in front of each other nor did they make any interaction with each other in the episode.
* In the episode "Tribe Called Girl", Dee Dee said that Dexter had special needs, however whether she said this mockingly or if Dexter has an actual disorder remains uncertain.
* Dexter's glasses are flat on top when he is feeling content or angry, but when he is shocked or scared, his glasses become rounded at the top.
* He has appeared in a variety of Dial M for Monkey episodes such as, Magmanamus, Peltra, Simion, Quackorand Last But Not Beast.
