Monty Uno

Montgomery "Monty" Uno is the overarching protagonist of the 2002 Cartoon Network animated series, Codename: Kids Next Door. He is the father of Numbuh 1, but in the movie, he is revealed to be Numbuh 0, the founder of the modern age of the KND Organization (the 7th Age of the KND), the son of Grandfather, as well as the older brother of Benedict Uno and the adoptive uncle of the Delightful Children From Down The Lane.
He is voiced by Frank Welker as an adult and Dave Wittenberg as a child.
==Bio==
Monty is Nigel's father, who is deeply interested with Sousaphone music and spending quality time with his son. Numbuh 1 is incredibly embarrassed by him, but loves him deep down. However, when he is recommissioned in Operation: Z.E.R.O., he becomes a formidable ally to his son.
==Story==
===Past===
In the beginning of the movie, Monty escaped from a factory with his younger brother, Benedict, chasing him. The older brother climbed up a tree, while the younger brother called up to him telling the former that he couldn't run off in the middle of his shift and that their abusive father would be enraged about their disappearance.
But an annoyed Monty decided just to let him, stating that they'd been slaving away making tapioca for 11,000 days straight, and all their father did was sneer at them like he was the evil king of the world (which Benedict emphasized that he was). The elder sibling stated that he's grown tired of it and wished that they could fight back as he kicked the tree.
His wish was granted when he opened a door and stumbled on to a strange chamber, which contained 2x4 Technology as well as the Book of KND, a legendary book that included instructions on how to use said technology as well as information recorded by previous KND operatives.
Monty planned to use these resources to rebel against Grandfather while Benedict cowered and ran away, stating that they would have no chance of defeating their father. Monty then wore sunglasses, declaring that he'd show him "what the number zero could do," and led a revolt, destroying the tapioca factories.
However, Grandfather found out about his rebellion and gave him three seconds to go to his room, or suffer punishment. With his fists swirling with energy, Grandfather counted down maliciously. But once he reached one, his son shouted his namesake number and fired a beam at his evil father, decommissioning him and reverting him to a harmless old man.
=== Return ===
Later in the present, Father has recommissioned his evil father into his former glory, giving the latter the opportunity to transform the entire world into the Senior Citi-zombies. Meanwhile, Numbuh 1 begins to track down Numbuh 0 in hopes of recommissioning him with KND Tracker, finally tracking Numbuh 0 to his very own home, and comes to the shocking realization that his father is Numbuh 0. After entering the Treasure Chamber of Coolness, Numbuh 1 recommissions Numbuh 0 and informs him about Grandfather's plans and the status of the entire world.
On the move to find allies, Numbuh 0 takes Numbuh 1 to Father's house, where it is revealed that Father is Numbuh 0's brother, making Father Numbuh 1's uncle and Grandfather his actual grandfather. It is also revealed, through the use of the Recommissioning Module, that the Delightful Children from Down the Lane are actually the long-lost Sector Z (the numbuhs 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5), who were kidnapped and permanently brainwashed in a "delightfulization" experiment gone right.
The Module restores their memories, but will only have a temporary effect (about an hour). Numbuh 1 and Sector Z make their way to the Moonbase while Numbuh 0 and Father stay behind to face Grandfather. Grandfather is glad to see his eldest son but looked down on the other, who attempts to asserts that he's more evil than his brother, only to be blasted by Grandfather.
Father then gets angry, recreating his black suit but then chickens out again, leaving Numbuh 0 to deal with Grandfather. Grandfather demands that his son behave for once and asks for him to fetch him the Book of KND; Numbuh 0 refuses to budge. Enraged, Grandfather declares that the only mistake he made was giving his own son a choice and engages his son, slowly agifying him.
On the Moonbase, Numbuh 1 and Sector Z manage to defeat the zombified Sector V,, and maneuver the moon to face Earth. Unfortunately, Sector Z revert back to their evil selves and attack Numbuh 1. On Earth, Grandfather acknowledges Numbuh 0's impressive resistance but states that he can't stand against him forever; he stands "zero" of a chance; Numbuh 0 acknowledges this, also stating that his son is Numbuh 1.
Later on, the Sector V uses the weapon to literally drop the entire Moonbase on top of Grandfather, just as he found the Book of KND in Numbuh 0's back pocket.
Grandfather survives the giant impact, but is lured into the Decommissioning Chamber by Numbuh 0, which results in the both of them getting their memories erased. With Grandfather defeated, the world turns back to normal as the Senior Citi-Zombies transform back into their normal, harmless selves.
However, when Numbuh 1 attempts to Recommission Numbuh 0 once again, it immediately falls apart. He comes across a recorded message from Numbuh 0 telling him that he has destroyed the Recommissioning Module and that he would rather not have his memories restored so that he could complete his greatest mission of all: being a good father to his son. He declares Numbuh 1 keeper of the book and advises him to write new stories in it.
=== Legacy ===
One month later, the existence of Numbuh 0 is public knowledge and considered fact. The Moonbase has been completely rebuilt and is larger and better than the previous one. It also now contains a massive statue honoring Numbuh 0.
