Evil Ron is Ron Stoppable after turning into a supervillain caused by the Attitudinator.

## Backstory:

Kim and Ron are on a mission to stop Dr. Drakken's latest plot of using an Atmosphere Disruptor to eliminate all of Earth's breathable air. Ron is distracted however because he has to attend his Cousin Reuben's wedding. Kim asks what the problem is, and Ron tells her that his entire family will be there, including his evil Cousin Shaun. Kim asks if Shawn is bad news, and Ron says Shaun trashed his scooter, poured gravy down his pants, and tried to feed Rufus to his pet iguana.

Drakken is nearly ready to launch his Atmosphere Disruptor when Team Possible arrives. Shego and Drakken then realize that they have fallen into a routine where Kim attacks and Shego fights, but Shego still goes through with it. While Kim fights, Ron tries to talk about something else that Shaun did and notices that she isn't listening and asks her if she is. Kim tries to ask Ron why he hasn't just told his parents. As they grapple away, Ron says that he's tried but they just remark how "Shauny is littler than him". A confused Kim asks how little, and Ron says that he's seven. Kim rolls her eyes, but Ron tries to say that it's an evil seven as they escape.

Later on, the two of them are watching TV, and Kim questions Ron about the fact that he's afraid of a seven-year-old. Ron tries to say that if she walked a mile in his gravy-stained pants, she'd understand. Kim asks how hard it could be to ditch him, and Ron admits that he's still forced to sit at the kids' table, much to Kim's surprise. She then suggests that he bring a date, and Ron agrees with her but says that he's been down this road before. He then inadvertently tries to ask Kim if she'd be his date, but the two of them nervously admit that because they're just friends it would be "awk-weird".

The show Agony County then starts which Ron can't believe Kim watches, with Kim saying she watches it just to stay current. Ron can't believe that the show is teasing that the characters of Charity and Danny are going to eventually get together, with Kim adding that it would end the series. Ron also points out that Danny is a jerk, saying that he dumped the character Faith on her birthday. Kim becomes surprised that Ron watches Agony County and points out that Danny is a misunderstood jerk. Ron asks if there's a difference, and Kim says it's a "hottie diff". Ron asks Kim if she likes the Bad Boys, she's about to say that she sometimes likes them but changes her answer to "not at all" when her dad walks through the room. Kim then says that some girls do like Bad Boys, and Ron becomes intrigued.

The next day at school, Ron tries out a new Bad Boy image but messes up as he leans on the door to the Girl's Room. Kim asks him how it's working for him, and he says that he has to go badder. Kim sarcastically says that he wouldn't like anyone liking him for the real him, but Ron brushes this off saying how they know that nice guys finish last and asks her to now call him "Bad Boy".

Meanwhile, Drakken mourns over the loss of his Atmosphere Disruptor. Shego tries to ask him why he thought this plan would turn out differently, and she perfectly says Drakken's answer with him: "It was my best doomsday device ever". Shego says that she's heard it all before and asks Drakken to think that maybe his best just isn't enough. Drakken feels hurt by this and says that there must be some world domination plan he tried that worked, but Shego points out that if any of them had worked, he'd be running the world and the only thing she sees him running is his mouth. This Drakken to break down in tears and admit that she's right and that his evil muse has deserted him, though it turns out to be a plan to get some pity from her. Shego tells him to cork it, then tosses over a magazine she's holding saying it might help. Drakken notices that it's for the annual Supervillain Trade Show and Convention. Drakken becomes happy at this because it will give him a chance to be inspired by evil again. Later on, Ron watches Agony County again to research Danny's Bad Boy attitude and notes that even his grammar is bad. Just before Charity and Danny kiss, the TV goes out and is revealed to have been unplugged by Shaun. Ron becomes scared and Shaun tells him that he's rooming with him for the wedding, causing Ron and Rufus to start crying.

Kim overhears them screaming and goes to her window where Ron appears and asks if he can stay there for the night. Kim agrees and says to take the couch in the den but says that he's going to have to deal with his cousin sooner or later. Ron then says that sooner or later one of them is going to have to grow up. Wade then calls and says that he's been tracking a large group of supervillains all converging on one place, to which Kim says it's at the Tri-City Convention Center for the annual Super-villain Shindig. Wade asks how she knows that, and Kim admits to being on the mailing list while looking at Ron. Ron apologizes and admits he thought he was signing her up to win a tank. Kim says that she should sneak in to see how much no good they're up to, and Wade says he's got them covered. Later on, outside the convention center, Ron in a costume questions Wade's definition of incognito, but Wade points out that it's the costume of "Zorpox the Conqueror", from Issue 97 of the Villain's League of Evil Villains. Kim is dressed in a brown spotted catsuit which Wade says is "Sheila, of the Leopard People". Kim admits that she doesn't feel 100% on it, and Wade says that he worked with what he had on hand. Ron admits to Kim that he feels that his Bad Boy act just isn't working for him, and Kim chastises him for chickening out now that he's going undercover as a supervillain and forces him to walk with her into the convention.
In the convention, Drakken sees a device supervised by Jack Hench that can test someone's badness level, much to Shego's skepticism. Hench gets Drakken to admit that he sends Shego in to steal stuff for him, and Drakken points out that this is a free no-obligation-to-buy demonstration and Hench lets him try out the device. Much to Drakken's confusion, the level is just "Playground Bully", while Shego happily uses it and maxes out the reading. Shego points out to a sad Drakken that while he's unpleasant and annoying he's not very evil. Hench then demonstrates a video for his latest device called the Attitudinator, which is designed to remove a person's good and bad energies and only put back the evil, in other words making someone a better super-villain. Shego then reminds Drakken to pay retail this time, and he frantically looks for his checkbook.

Ron becomes impressed with the large amount of villainy and Kin reminds him to be careful and lay low. Ron picks up a Molecular Eraser, and not believing it's real fires it and erases one villain's ice cream, causing Kim to chastise him for not laying low. Just then, they see Drakken wearing the Attitudinator and he remarks feeling super evil. Kim tries to get to him, but Shego pins down the tail on Kim's costume with her boot and sees right through their disguises despite Ron's attempts to convince her otherwise. Shego asks Kim why she's wearing such a stupid costume, and Kim asks Shego if she's looked in the mirror lately. This causes Shego to get angry and she challenges Kim to a fight.
While Ron tries to get to Drakken, Hench turns him away saying that the next demo will begin in a few minutes. Improvising, Ron tries to force Hench to let him pass by mentioning how he is "Zorpox the Conqueror", but Hench is unfamiliar with his work and offers Ron the chance to fill out a card to try and win a tank. Shego powers up a massive energy ball and fires it at Kim who avoids it by swinging on a laser cannon. The ball instead heads towards the booth where Ron is and, in his attempt, to avoid the explosion gets blasted straight into Drakken. As the smoke clears, Drakken stands up and the Attitudinator breaks in half and falls to the ground. As Drakken says that pure evil now courses through him, and that maybe she'll think twice before wrecking his atmosphere disruptor. All the while, no one notices that the blue energy of the Attitudinator goes into Drakken while the Red Energy goes into the unconscious Ron. Drakken calls Shego and the two of them fly out on a hovercraft. Kim goes to Ron and asks if he's alright, and Ron wakes up wondering what just happened. The two of them look at the damaged Attitudinator and Ron wonders how much eviller Drakken could get.

Later on, Shego notices that Drakken is singing an Oh Boyz song while he's welding a new invention and points it out to him, but he brushes it off. He shows her his new invention the Sonic Annihilator, which Shego notices is purple, but Drakken claims is plum making it user-friendly. Shego asks what it does, and Drakken puts a glass of milk on it to demonstrate. It can generate cascading sonic pulsations, and he puts chocolate syrup in it saying with the proper mixture he can shake things up. Shego becomes puzzled by this and Drakken says that he can use it to make the perfect glass of chocolate milk. Shego thinks he's joking, but Drakken says he never jokes about "cocoa moo", which makes Shego even more confused. Drakken sees limitless potential for the invention including pudding, cookie dough, and foot massages. Shego then asks about any possible evil uses and suggests earthquakes. She turns it up to its highest setting causing Drakken's "cocoa moo" to fly off, with him leaping to save it. He remarks that he didn't realize it could be so violent and that someone could get hurt, causing Shego to remind him that's kinda the point. Drakken tells Shego to bite her tongue, and to have some "cocoa moo" and that it's soothing. Shego, annoyed at this, tells him to stop saying "cocoa moo", but he drinks the entire glass saying, "That's good cocoa moo", annoying her even further. He then licks his chocolate-covered lips with a happy smile.

Later in the cafeteria, Wade analyzes the Attitudinator and tells Kim it should be easy getting Drakken back to normal as long as it's kept his good side. Kim is surprised that Drakken has one of those, but Wade reminds her that he doesn't anymore as this device was designed to remove his good and bad energies and only put back the evil. Kim wonders who come up with this stuff, and Wade says he'll start crunching the data and get back to her.
Rufus then finds Kim, who asks him where he and Ron have been as Ron ditched Chemistry earlier. Rufus looking nervous and worried points to the bottom of a nearby lunch table where Ron is, causing Kim to wonder what he's doing there. Ron is under the table scribbling out several plans and equations to make Shaun bow to him. As Kim comes over, he hoists a strange contraption onto the table which Kim notes is stranger than usual. Ron then notices her and says that it's just a little experiment, causing Kim to admit that now he's scaring her. Ron then takes Rufus and says that she has no idea how scary he can be. He then takes out a flashlight and shines it across his face while giving a surprisingly long and evil laugh, causing Kim to admit that she's freaked out as Rufus runs onto her shoulder for safety. Ron then pulls a knob on the device saying things are about to get "spud-clear", with the device then starting a bombardment of everyone in the cafeteria with mashed potatoes while Ron watches with glee behind a trash can. Kim then asks Ron what his damage is, and Rufus agrees with her. Ron takes this as a sign that Kim's turned against him and thinks that it's because she can't handle the Bad Boy. But at that moment, Mr. Barkin who was hit by the mashed potatoes as well grabs Ron with one hand and says that while Kim can't, he can.
Barkin tells Ron in the hallway that no food fight goes unpunished on his watch and gives Ron a month of detention, only to increase it to two months after Ron laughs evilly at the idea. Wade notices that Ron's act is getting extreme, and Kim mentions how he's not even trying to get a date out of it anymore. Kim then asks Wade to keep an eye on Ron and asks him if he has him micro-chipped. Wade tries to deny it saying that they discussed the moral and ethical ramifications of that, but Kim pushes further, and Wade admits that he does and agrees to it. Kim says "Please and thank you" before closing her locker.

Meanwhile, Drakken is roasting something in a fire and laughing. He asks whatever's in there if they've had enough, and then remarks that he thinks they're quite finished. He pulls out a tray from the oven and asks his henchmen if they want the peanut butter stickies that he was just baking. His henchmen are confused but don't turn down the chance to have sweets. Shego remarks that this is sick and wrong on so many levels. Drakken then asks Shego to join them in their shared circle and offers her a stickie that she knocks up with her foot and blasts to ash. Drakken then lowers her arm and calls her a "grumpy monkey" which prompts her to say that his train has seriously jumped the track. She then notices that Drakken's skin is no longer blue and points it out to him, he then looks in a mirror and states that it must be his sunny disposition. Shego in frustration tries to remind him of their plans by asking if there's anything he wants to take over, and that it starts with a 'W'. Drakken takes this as a guessing game and tries to guess random words such as "Watermelon", "Woolly Mammoth", "Woodchuck", "Whirlygate", and "Wombat" while a frustrated Shego answers an incoming video call. On the screen is Hench who tries to apologize for the unfortunate mishap, but Shego is unaware of any mishap and asks about it. Hench explains that their analysis of the ruckus at the Convention shows that Drakken's evil was transferred into Ron, which is all but confirmed as Drakken knits a pink sweater with a duck on it as the information is presented. Shego then realizes that this is why Drakken has been acting so messed up. Hench then receives their check and notices that it bounced, but Shego cuts him off before he can say anymore. Shego then calls Drakken over, with him mistakingly thinking that she changed her mind about the "cocoa moo" angering Shego again. She says that she needs to get him back to his bad self and drags him towards their ship so they can find Ron.

Later at the Wedding, Kim thanks Wade for keeping an eye on Ron, with Wade saying that he knew something was seriously whacked when Ron tricked out his old tricycle into an ATV. Kim agrees saying Ron usually isn't good with tools, but then is forced to hang up as she hears Ron getting close to the building. Ron bursts through the window on his ATV wearing his Zorpox costume where he asks who's the best man now before evilly chuckling. Kim goes up to Ron to tell him what she knows but then notices that Ron's skin has turned the same blue shade that Drakken's was. Ron then addresses Kim by her first and last name, causing her to ask why and him to say that it's because he realized his full evil potential. Before Kim can say more, Shaun throws cake at Ron calling him "Cousin Crybaby", with the intent of making Ron burst out into tears as usual.

However, this time, Ron is prepared and says Shaun doesn't have the game and tells him it's payback time as he presses a button on a remote causing his ATV to transform. Ron says that he refined his potato tosser into a plasma catapult, much to Kim's surprise, with Ron then destroying the entire hall intending to cut Shaun down to size. Just then, Drakken and Shego burst through the roof with Shego ordering Ron to come with them. Ron then says that no one commands him and attempts to blast them with his catapult. Drakken then remarks that Ron's a bad man, with Shego then saying "Yeah, seriously" in an impressed manner. Kim tries to get Ron to stop by saying that evil isn't his thing and that it's Drakken's thing, but Ron refuses saying that he's so much better at it and asks if Drakken ever built a plasma blaster this dangerous. Drakken sadly admits he did not, and Shego agrees, surprised at how much of a natural Ron is at being evil. She then picks up Drakken and throws him into a vat of potato salad calling him "Dr. Do-Nothing" before picking up Ron and taking him as her new partner, much to Kim's dismay.

Later, Ron is laughing evilly at his new hideout that Shego brought him to which Shego quickly gets tired of and tells Ron to give it a rest, prompting Ron to ask her if she's daring to criticize him. She tells him that she's looking for results and that all he's been doing so far is chuckling up a storm with nothing to show for it. Ron says he's just warming up and shows her a map of the world. He says that the Annihilator has been set to go off in five minutes, and when it does earthquakes are going to shake the world to pieces. He begins to laugh again, but Shego clams his lips shut saying how much she's done with the laugh. She then asks what plan they will accomplish as they'll be shaken apart too. Ron claims that it'll never get that far as the world will surrender to him first. He then points out that he said "me", not "us" saying that Shego is just the hired help. Shego gets angry at this and tries to blast him as she would with Drakken, but it gets deflected off by an energy shield much to Shego's shock. Ron says that he found it in Drakken's stuff and that he probably had no idea how to use it. He then presses a button on his belt that opens up a shark tank behind where Shego is standing and asks her if she knows that sidekicks need to know their place. Out of fear, Shego agrees and says that she's going to go check the security monitors. She then compliments him on how much she loves his evil laugh before backing off slowly. Ron then remarks how he's ready for Kim before laughing maniacally again.

Meanwhile, Kim is close to the lair and has brought along Drakken and Rufus where she asks if Wade has any ideas on how to fix this. Wade says that Drakken's evil got transferred into Ron, and Kim believes that if they repair the Attitudinator and get Drakken and Ron to use it, it should reverse the process, but Wade can only hope so. Kim tells Drakken that they need him to be bad again, but Drakken says he doesn't want to be bad. Kim says that it's better if Drakken is evil rather than Ron and Drakken soon understands it.
Meanwhile, Shego is watching the security monitors when Ron suddenly appears and surprises her saying that Kim is here and to get ready for a smack-down. Shego says that she's not on the monitors and asks Ron how he knows. Ron says he did a bit of scanning for the Kimmunicator's frequency, and this causes Shego to angrily question why Drakken never thought to do that. Ron then tells her that's why he's the big dog, before barking a few times which knocks Shego out of her seat.
Kim gets in the room and tells Drakken that Wade is going to guide him and Rufus into repairing the Attitudinator, and reluctantly hands the Kimmunicator to him saying that she never thought she would say that she's counting on him. Drakken promises not to let her down.

Kim slides down an air duct where Ron greets her using her full name "Kimberly Ann Possible", to which she says the middle name is so overkill. Ron says that overkill is kinda of the idea and then laughs maniacally before pushing a button that activates mechanical arms to restrain Kim.
Drakken and Rufus are successful in repairing the Attitudinator and Wade says all Drakken has to do is put it on Ron, use it and he'll be evil again. Rufus then feels down and Drakken tries to reassure him that they'll have more fun times after he's evil, but Rufus points out that they won't. Drakken becomes upset at this and Rufus offers his condolences, while Drakken admits that doing the right thing is so hard.

In the original, the countdown timer is at one minute, and Kim can use her laser to free herself of her restraints. Before she can go anywhere though, she is confronted by Shego and the two of them have a brief fight in which Kim pushes Shego back and manages to stop the countdown with two seconds left. Ron calls it "not bad", but admits that he knows she could've gotten out sooner. Kim tells Ron that it's game over, but Ron unveils a control panel under a tarp and pushes a button saying that he's just getting warmed up. The Annihilator was to keep Kim busy while he worked on his real evil plan: his Mega Weather Generator, which even Shego was unaware of. Ron activates the device and says that the entire world will tremble beneath his storms and then hand over to him the world's supply of nachos before laughing evilly. Even Shego is confused by this naco plan, and Kim notes that this was very obvious before telling Drakken to go ahead with the plan. Drakken appears from behind Ron calling him a bad boy and puts the Attitudinator on him which shakes for a few seconds before breaking again and putting Drakken's evil back in him. This changes both Ron and Drakken's skin colors and personalities back to what they were before, and Ron becomes happy to see Rufus as Kim says he was having a bad day and turns off the Generator. Drakken then questions Shego over the fact that she left him for Ron, and Shego points out Ron's Mega Weather Generator. Drakken then laughs evilly and says that he now controls the Mega Weather Generator, prompting Kim to say that they all know what comes next. Kim destroys Drakken's lair and grapples away with Ron and Rufus while Drakken says his famous phrase to her: "You think you're all that, but you're- " before getting cut off by the explosion.

In the Bad Ending, Evil Ron successfully uses the Mega Weather Generator to get the world to hand over their supply of nacos while Shego defeated Kim, Rufus and good Dr. Drakken, the nacos destroyed the Attitudinator, meaning there's no way for Drakken and Ron to be turned back to their normal selves. He able to tell Shego to throw Kim, Rufus and good Dr. Drakken in his prison cell before the three escape the liar without Ron, with his highly intelligence and successful evil plans, Evil Ron becomes even more of an evil overlord than Dr. Drakken.

## How and why he would join Bad End Friends:

During Evil Ron's plan to encounter the world while eating nacos in his lair, he and Shego saw a portal opening, coming out there was Bipper, Cider Thug Ash, Darcy, Rocket Red, Zach Watterson, NomiRandy, and Ghost Darryl, Evil Ron challenged them, he tried to use a machine that can cage them, but Cider Thug Ash, with the help of Ghost Darryl, destroyed it with his Whack-A-Bat, Evil Ron tried other various weapons, but each of them defeated Evil Ron with their abilities, Evil Ron was angry, Darcy says that if Evil Ron wanted to take over the world, then he should join the BEF, Evil Ron is thoughtful about the offer, Cider Thug Ash says to Evil Ron that he promise not to bully him and his friends that lost someone important, while mentioning that he gets revenge on his cousin, Kristofferson by tricking him into getting captured and later betraying him, Evil Ron was also furious about his cousin Shawn just like Ash did with his cousin, with his villainous potential, he accepted Ash's promise and Darcy's invitation, and so Evil Ron joined the BEF.

## Appearance

Due to a collision while Dr. Drakken was wearing Hencho's Attitudinator helmet, Ron was exposed to Drakken's evil energy. Through unspecified means, this caused Ron to become increasingly evil and eccentric, as he also took on Drakken's blue skin color and adopted the costume of the fictional comic book villain Zorpox. Evil Ron possessed in abundance several traits that Ron was also noted to have, but rarely displayed: he was a skilled strategist, incredibly talented at Tai Shing Pek Kwar Monkey Kung-Fu, and capable of building large scale doomsday devices and highly advanced technology with surprising ease. His in-depth knowledge of Kim's behaviour made him one of her most dangerous foes, as he not only knew how best to stop her, but presumably that she would be equally effective if turned evil in the same manner that he was.

## Personality

Ron Stoppable is typically portrayed as the bumbling yet loyal best friend and sidekick of Kim Possible, the protagonist of the animated TV series. However, in an episode entitled “Bad Boy,” Ron undergoes a dramatic transformation and becomes an evil supervillain known as “Evil Ron Stoppable.” As a villain, Evil Ron showcases exceptional mental and physical abilities, effortlessly defeating Monkey Fist’s soldiers and even striking fear into Shego. Throughout the episode, Kim and Rufus work tirelessly to restore Ron’s true personality and defeat Evil Ron. In the end, their efforts pay off, and Ron returns to his former self, unaware of his villainous actions. Despite this, as Evil Ron Stoppable, Ron proves to be one of the most nefarious villains in the show, possessing an arrogant, selfish, and aggressive persona that leaves a lasting impression.

## Abilities

### **Culinary Abilities:**

Ron is a talented cook, approaching chef-levels. This was likely due to practice he had when he was eight. It is one of his abilities that almost always remains at a consistently high level.

While a sophomore in high school Ron created the wildly successful and popular Naco while in the employ of Bueno Nacho. The Naco was so well received that within a short time, on the order of a week or less, he received enough money from its sales to buy Kim a jacket which would have cost two weeks' normal wages. Then during his junior year of high school Ron received a $99 million royalty payment on the continued sales of the Naco up to that point in time.

Ron's culinary talents even earned him the role of the home economics teacher during his sophomore year of high school. Which he used to transform the home economics' room into a "world class restaurant", according to Steven Barkin. His food was so good, Mr. Barkin put Ron in charge of food services for Middleton High School. Unfortunately, his tenure was cut short when the health inspector saw Rufus, a live rodent, serving food.

### **Communication with Animals:**

Ron has demonstrated an uncanny ability to actually converse with and understand several animals. Most often, this was seen in his interactions with Rufus, although it could be argued that Rufus was already, albeit unusually, communicative with others as well. Ron has, however, also shown that he could communicate very well with other animals: Chippy the monkey ninja, Roachie the mutated cockroach, and Professor Dementor's giant dachshunds, to name a few.

### **Athleticism:**

Despite Ron's typical portrayal as being clumsy and physically ineffective, he has exhibited numerous examples of exemplary athleticism. During Ron's considerable time as Kim's sidekick, he gained experience in many of the widely varied methods of transport that she did. In particular, Ron was often seen SCUBA diving, skydiving, and mountain climbing. These were usually displayed alongside and overshadowed by Kim's more skillful executions, while Ron regularly bumbled his attempts, but his proficiency was much more obvious while working alone.

Ron appeared to have an often-overlooked affinity for extreme sports and related activities that even he was largely unaware of. He executed a near-perfect solo infiltration of Drakken's lair in order to retrieve Ray-X and demonstrated a fairly high amount of skill in doing so. Also, he accidentally created the extreme sport of umbrella surfing, although he could not repeat his first spectacular performance on demand.

The second time that Ron tried out for the Middleton High Football Team, it was discovered that his so-called "mad running away skills" made him a natural running back. In fact, he earned the school's all-time rushing record and ran the entire opposing team into exhaustion after just one play, which earned him the nickname "Unstoppable Stoppable". In fact, according to Kim, Ron's running allowed him to break "more [football] records than Brick ever did".

Ron bragged that he never caught germs, due to the "fortress that is the Stoppable immune system". In an odd coincidence, the onetime Ron did catch a cold, despite being around Kim and her brothers, who all had colds at the time, Ron caught a cold from Shego, who herself possessed superhuman endurance and resiliency. Therefore, the argument could be made that Ron only got sick because Shego was one of the few people that could successfully pass a cold onto him.

### **The Ron Factor:**

Ron rarely received any recognition for his helping Kim, until Global Justice scientists hypothesized the true secret to Kim's success was an intangible talent/element which Ron was thought to possess which they dubbed as "The Ron Factor". It supposedly allowed him to achieve results through a series of apparently random mishaps that would otherwise require great skill to accomplish. According to Wade, The Ron Factor could have been a product of non-linear mathematical concepts, also known as Chaos Theory. Initially, Global Justice believed The Ron Factor was the secret to Team Possible's success and they researched it heavily for a short period of time, hoping to harness it themselves. They were unable to isolate it, so Global Justice eventually concluded that it did not exist, or at least that it was a "non-factor", though at the time they began researching the possible existence of "The Rufus Factor" instead.

Despite Global Justice's conclusion, there was considerable evidence suggesting The Ron Factor, or as Ron once termed it "Not dumb luck, Kim. Dumb skills" may have been both real and even exploitable under the proper circumstances. Shego realized that Kim was most effective as an adversary when working side by side with Ron. She then hatched a plan to separate them, thus severely hampering Kim's ability to thwart her adversaries. This separation weakened Team Possible greatly, to the point where Shego was able to take over the world.

### **Mystical Monkey Powers:**

During their first encounter with the villain Monkey Fist, Ron and Rufus were exposed to mystical energy from four jade monkey statues which imbued them with "Mystical Monkey Power". The most immediate consequence of this exposure was an instinctive, but incomplete knowledge of "Tai Sheng Pek Kwar", most commonly referred to as Monkey Kung Fu. Ron immediately proved capable of temporarily holding his own against Monkey Fist, while Rufus displayed considerably increased strength.

Oddly enough, Ron's new powers were in no way a constant occurrence in his life. They were almost entirely absent from his adventures for some time. Rufus, however, proved capable of incredible feats during this time, such as chomping through a steel grate with ease, which implied that Ron simply was not using his gifts, possibly due to his then still overwhelming fear of virtually anything monkeys related. Additionally, during the same adventure, Ron was prophesied to one day become "The Ultimate Monkey Master", and the Monkey Ninjas recognized him as their leader.

Ron was later selected to attend the Yamanouchi Ninja School in Japan, apparently because destiny linked him to it. While there, Ron was trained as a ninja, and finally began to sharpen the martial arts skills he had been given. He was also introduced to the Lotus Blade, a shape shifting sword that responded to those touched by Mystical Monkey Power. Ron rescued both fellow student Yori and the stolen Lotus Blade from Monkey Fist, and channeled Mystical Monkey Power for the first time in a feat of superhuman strength.

Ron's powers were not explicitly shown again for some time. During a battle with Team Impossible, this was even commented on. Dash DaMont was surprised by Ron not fighting at all, believing Ron was supposed to be "some master of Monkey Kung Fu". Ron sheepishly replied, "You know, it's funny. It comes and goes".

Ron once again found himself aiding Yamanouchi against Monkey Fist, attempting to defend the school from an impending attack. Monkey Fist had summoned the dark avatar Yono, and desired to unite him with his counterpart, The Han, so as to obtain world dominance. This counterpart was revealed to be Hana Stoppable, Ron's adopted baby sister who had secretly been placed with his family by Yamanouchi. Ron's inadvertent teachings kept Hana safe and lead to Monkey Fist's final defeat, as had been Master Sensei's hope all along.

Ron finally realized his fated destiny when, during his graduation from high school, Kim and Drakken were kidnaped by the Lorwardian aliens Warhok and Warmonga. Ron rescued them with Shego's help, but eventually found himself alone and overwhelmed by Warhok's strength. Warhok then threatened to separate Kim from Ron for good, which caused Ron to consciously tap into his Mystical Monkey Power for the first time. In the battle that followed, Ron displayed unsafe work environment. He was also able to avoid serious harm while being pursued by both Kim and Shego at the same time. Moments after being engaged, he quickly used them to free his restrained arms which had been tied behind his back and positioned them so that the

The Lowardians proved no match for him in this state and were quickly defeated. Master Sensei recognized Ron as the Supreme Monkey Master.

### **Combat Skills:**

Despite Kim being the primary combatant on their missions, Ron has displayed some impressive combat skills.

Ron has repeatedly proven capable of defending himself from foes generally considered to be far superior to him in combat, such as Monkey Fist and his Monkey Ninjas, Shego, and Kim herself during various incidents of her being mind-controlled.

Ron's week spent training at the Yamanouchi Ninja School in Japan resulted in noticeable increase in his offensive effectiveness, particularly in the area of martial arts, which served him well in later adventures. Ron even proved capable of defeating large groups of opponents, and overwhelming the synthodrone Eric with blows that would have been fatal on a normal opponent.

Ron proved to be extremely naturally resilient and was rarely ever seriously wounded despite some major mishaps. Some more notable examples included being hurled by a super-strong Drakken, blasted by Shego's plasma, and being punched by the Lorwardian Warhok, whose strength far surpassed that of any human. Ron's resilience was obvious even before he gained Mystical Monkey Power, though as it clearly increased his strength on occasion, presumably it had a similar impact on his already impressive resilience.

In addition to purely physical abilities, Ron has exhibited an incredible ability to win fights through situational awareness, cunning, and subterfuge. Through the usage of traps, Ron defeated Gill without having to resort to a physical confrontation. Ron was able to get rid of Drakken's henchmen by exploiting their paranoia about their unsafe work environment. He was also able to avoid serious harm while being pursued by both Kim and Shego at the same time. Moments after being engaged, he quickly used them to free his restrained arms which had been tied behind his back and positioned them so that they interfered with each other's efforts.

### **Intelligence:**

Ron's intelligence has varied greatly throughout the years, most often appearing to be that of the underachieving student he typically behaved as, but sometimes far surpassing both the expectations of others and him.

Ron was an articulate, observant child able to comprehend concepts too complex for the average children of his age.

While it was common for Ron's grades to be both shown and commented on as ranging from average to bad, Ron was still continually shown to be in the same classes as Kim, the class valedictorian Felix Renton, and known genius Justine Flanner. However, this may have been due in part to his usually partnering up with Kim or another Grade-A average student on major projects.

Ron successfully planned a mission which retrieved Ray X from Drakken's lair while Kim was home sick.

Ron was able to successfully build a "doomsday device" out of junk parts despite being extremely insecure of his abilities and terrified by Drakken's threats.

Perhaps the most pronounced display of Ron's intelligence was when The Attitudinator caused him to temporarily turn evil. While evil, Ron created a series of increasingly sophisticated weapons, ranging from a mechanical device to fling mashed potatoes to an all-terrain plasma catapult and a weather generator capable of instantly controlling the weather on a global scale. While some fans have theorized that this could be attributed to Drakken's personality transfer it was later shown that the Attitudinator could turn Ron evil without having anything to do with Drakken when Electronique used a slightly modified version to turn Ron back into his evil persona. Also, Drakken admitted that he was never able to build weapons as powerful as Ron's so it's also likely that the evil transferred gave Ron focus and direction for his inherent intelligence.

## Equipment

* **Super Cycle:** In Bad Boy, Ron upgraded his old tricycle to a giant motorcycle vehicle, which he used to literally crash the wedding rehearsal. Ron then uses a remote to transform his vehicle into a Plasma Catapult to attack his cousin Shaun.
* **Utility Belt:** When Ron first turned evil and became Zorpox, he found a belt that originally belonged to Drakken and assume he probably had no idea how to use it. It can generate a force-field/shield made of energy that is strong enough to withstand and deflect Shego's energy blast. Ron then presses a button on his belt that opens up a shark tank behind where Shego is standing and asks her if she knows that sidekicks need to know their place (this is also the only time Shego shows fear). It unknow what happen to the belt but it assuming by many fans that Ron gave this belt to Wade, and it was one of the functions of Kim's battlesuit, but with a different force-field.
* **Attitudiniser**: After being turned good again, Ron displayed some ability of Drakken's intelligence to repair the Attitudinator and turn his cousin Shaun good.
* **Anti-Anti-Matter Bubble**: In Mathter and Fervent, Mr. Possible made an anti-anti-matter bubble because he was tuned into an anti-matter being by the Mather.

* Blue grappling hook gun
* Scooter for low-speed travel around Middleton
* Bicycle
* Sled
* "Blaster Briefs", a pair of briefs that functioned as a rocket pack, used alongside Kim's rocket skates. Presumably Wade designed them as well, and chose briefs as opposed to skates or pants because Ron's pants were repeatedly lost or dropped during missions, so there was a high chance that his pants would get tangled up in rocket skates. The briefs eliminated this problem by blasting Ron entirely *out* of his pants, anyway.

Although Ron was unaware of it, Wade had him microchipped at some point for tracking purposes. This was used primarily to help Kim find Ron if he went missing, and for some reason did not have his pager, which Wade could *also* track if needed. Though the microchip became something of a private joke between Kim and Wade, it proved useful several times. It was hinted that Ron may, in fact, know about the microchip, or at least, suspect it. While never shown on screen, Kim may have told Ron about the microchip after they became a couple.

## Trivia

* The Art on the Infobox is made by Slyrr on *DeviantArt*.
* There were two theories about Evil Ron's advanced capabilities, particularly his intelligence:
	+ When the Attitudinator transferred Drakken's badness to Ron, it also transferred a portion of his genius level intellect. This explained why Evil Ron was suddenly better with tools when Ron rarely ever showed such skill. However, this did not explain how Ron was able to repair the Attitudinator after he was reformed. It also does not explain how, as Shego observed, Ron turned out to be Drakken's superior in technological ability.
	+ Ron always had the potential to do great things, but he was repressed by his social anxiety. When he became Evil Ron, he lost his inhibitions, which enabled him to unlock his potential without fear. This was the preferred theory, as he was also unable to use his mystical monkey powers unless motivated enough to do so. Also, Ron showed a natural ability for destruction even when he was not evil, showing his talent for the dark side.
