Sheldon Cooper

Sheldon Cooper is a Big Bang Theory minifigure from the TV sitcom, The Big Bang Theory who appears in the set 21302 The Big Bang Theory.
==Background==
Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper, B.S., M.S., M.A., Ph.D., Sc.D., is a Caltech theoretical physicist who shares an apartment with his colleague and best friend, Leonard Hofstadter. Originally from East Texas, Sheldon started college at the age of 11, receiving his first Ph.D. at the age of 16. Sheldon was involved in numerous experiments as a wunderkind, such as his plan to provide free electricity for his hometown by building a nuclear reactor - a plan stopped by government pen pushers claiming it's illegal to store Yellowcake uranium in a garden shed! Proudly geeky, he has no qualms about speaking Klingon, wearing vintage t-shirts sporting superhero logos, or spouting various historical and cultural anecdotes (e.g., his account of the introduction of the fork into Thailand). While he might claim to be the perfect human specimen, Sheldon does have his faults. Sheldon is characterized by a strict adherence to routine and hygiene; an overly intellectual personality; a tenuous understanding of irony, sarcasm and humor; and a general lack of humility or empathy, the former of which is demonstrated in the fact that he has no problem voicing to his peers his admiration for his superior intellect. These qualities, along with his penchant for pranks, are his character's main source of humor.
==Notes==
* His shirt has The Flash insignia and he includes a Green Lantern power battery, referencing his pop culture interests.
* His prototype model featured him with tall legs like Woody and Jessie from the Toy Story theme but the final model presents him with regular dark tan legs.
* He is played by Jim Parsons.
