Edward Pearson

**Edward Poindexter Pearson**is the main protagonist of Edward and Eric. He is the oldest son of Paul and Susan, the older brother of Eric, and Mandy Johnson's boyfriend (as of Love-Hate Relationship). He is also the founder and leader of The Lucky 6. He is voiced by Andrew Rannells.

## Personality

Edward is a highly intelligent teenager who manages to outdo everybody in just about everything: from math to science. This isn't out of malicious intents, though, as Edward is generally a cheerful and laid-back individual who is pretty open and friendly to most people. In the words of Gary Sauls himself, Edward is an "everyman character", because even with his intelligence in mind, he still goes through everyday struggles and acts like how most people would. Because of this, Edward has his problems. He is very prone to being arrogant; while it's nowhere near as bad as Joey's narcissism (especially due to the arrogance being part of Edward's everyman personality), Edward still has his moments. In most of the Kimberly-centered episodes, he will go great lengths to take advantage of Kimberly to get her into a relationship with him just for his own sake. Edward is regularly sarcastic and condescending towards a lot of the students (but even then, he's still vulnerable to being cocky towards his loved ones, most notably Eric). Sometimes when sufficiently angered, he will not hesitate to try and deal with someone physically. Edward's arrogance has also led to him making blatant exaggerations about himself. However, this does not make Edward a heartless person by any means. Edward is very quick to realize his mistakes and express remorse for them, such as when he harshly trained Eric and Constantinos for the school's homecoming game in Football Follies as an attempt to impress Kimberly, but as soon as he saw them severely injured, he rushed to the field and cried, profusely apologizing to them.

Thanks to his extraordinary genius intelligence, Edward has a knack for inventions, as he has been creating them ever since he was a fetus. He reportedly has an IQ of 300 and is capable of creating gadgets that far surpass modern technology. An alien in Kids' WB: Toon Power! stated he is the smartest being in the Kids' WB multiverse (this statement shouldn't be taken with a grain of salt, as the games - including the crossover ones - are canonical to the series). He is a straight-A+++++ student at school and always puts focus on his academics over "stuff that normal teenagers do" (although there have been a few exceptions, such as the school dance in Valentine's Day in Lakeside). Edward is so intelligent that in one episode, he claimed that he was "accepted into Harvard a long time ago" before showing a letter from Harvard as evidence. However, at school, he is socially awkward towards girls his age. Edward is also prone to being cowardice, and as several episodes show, he has many fears, including snakes, roller coasters, enclosed environments (better known as claustrophobia), etc. Despite his fears, Edward is very protective of his loved ones and is capable of helping out strangers (even if it means asking "What's in it for me?"). Even if he knows he isn't strong enough to pull something off, Edward will not hesitate to help people out.

Edward is a diligent and strong-willed student, being extremely enthusiastic about topics related to academics. His dream to become a world-renowned scientist drives him to write down notes about everything he learns, no matter how redundant it is, and he has been doing this since kindergarten. However, he doesn't need to do this because of his photographic memory. Either way, Edward has developed a great analytical mind thanks to this practice, and he usually points out minor details about something; in fact, he is usually the first person in a situation to be aware that something is wrong. In a fight, he can form complex plans within seconds, factoring in the best ways he can use his inventions or his own hands, as well as the strengths of allies and weaknesses of enemies, to turn the tides of a life-or-death scenario.

## Skills

While Edward is usually portrayed as weak in his universe, he would be, realistically speaking, too strong for our own world's good if he were a real person. He is able to compete with Eric in strength, who once pushed the Sun down to Earth, causing both to explode and could burp with enough force to rapidly push the Moon out of orbit and form a constellation reading out "Impressive!". He is also capable of injuring Walker, who is tough enough to no-sell a hypernova at point-blank range and survive the aforementioned catastrophe of the Sun colliding with Earth. Edward is fast enough to dodge lasers on a daily basis, literally run through time, run to the Sun's surface and back within seconds, and he should be superior to Walker, who fought Santa Claus; Santa himself is fast enough to casually react to a meteor that quickly entered the atmosphere.

Edward's real strength, however, is his abilities. Not only is he intelligent to impossible degrees, as described above, but he possesses regenerative capabilities, which allows him to instantly heal himself from being reduced to ashes, melting into a puddle, being blown to pieces, having his head explode/cut off, etc. Edward can also jump into paintings and inexplicably teleport without having to use his gadgets. He also resists transmutation to a decent degree, as he was once punched hard enough by Mandy to turn into a live-action version of himself, only to immediately shake it off. There's No F in Edward also shows he can travel through time on command without the use of his time machine, as when he wanted to go 6 weeks into the future, it immediately occurred.

While Edward may seem unlucky in a few episodes (particularly the early ones), it is not as severe as Joey's bad luck. In fact, Edward is destined to succeed even when all odds are placed against him, such as in Sid's Shenanigans, where (TBD), and Lemon-aid, where (TBD). Edward's luck has also allowed him to walk across Lakeside City School during a massive snowstorm without a single drop of snow hitting him, and it can even achieve the scientifically impossible, such as when he and Eric entered a boating competition with an incredibly dense "boat" that was made of blocks and powered by a tiny fan; not only did it not sink like a rock, and not only did it travel as fast as a topnotch speedboat, but he and Eric's luck also made every other student sink instantaneously. This luck is otherwise known as "The Edward and Eric Effect", (WIP)

Edward has complete control over his body, which is very stretchy and flexible, being capable of stretching his arm several feet away and dragging the rest of The Lucky 6 to him. This also allows him to shapeshift, taking forms of objects and different characters. He can rearrange his features, limbs and internal organs in any conceivable way without negatively affecting himself whatsoever. Moreover, he can remotely control his separated limbs, compact his body through impossibly small areas, massively change his size, and even divide his body in half and control both sides. (WIP)

## Trivia

* Edward is one of Warner Bros' mascots, right next to Bugs Bunny and Scooby-Doo.
* His birthday is March 5.
* Edward is 14 years old.
* He is the second-tallest member of The Lucky 6, standing at 6'2 (185.42 cm).
* He was named after Edward Felker, who is Edward and Eric's co-creator and creative director.
* He is based on Gary Sauls.
* He is secretly afraid of heights.
* He used to have a crush on Kimberly, though this subsided after Love-Hate Relationship.
* Edward's actor is well known for voicing Archie Andrews in the 1999 cartoon, *Archie's Weird Mysteries*, originally playing as Elder Price in the 2011 Broadway musical, *The Book of Mormon*, and for working with 4Kids Entertainment from 2001 to 2006.
	+ Andrew wasn't always going to voice Edward. During the development for the show, he auditioned for Stanley Breault.
	+ Another note-worthy fact is that Andrew uses his regular speaking voice whenever he records his lines for Edward. Due to his easygoing and calm nature in real life, he had to practice yelling in case there were lines where Edward yelled either out of anger, or out of fright.
		- The only exception to using his speaking voice is whenever Edward screams out of fright/pain, as Andrew has to make his voice high-pitched and "girly" for those instances.
* While Edward may be physically weak, he more than makes up for it by being capable of enduring incredible amounts of pain, as shown in episodes like Hit and Run. Because of this, most of his opponents usually get exhausted from trying to kill him.
* In some way or form, he appears in nearly every episode of the series. (WIP)
* The list of inventions he has created throughout the run of the show can be seen here.
* As mentioned earlier, an alien in Kids' WB: Toon Power! stated Edward is the smartest being in the entire Kids' WB multiverse. This would technically put him above other Kids' WB geniuses such as Bruce Wayne, Professor Oak, Bugs Bunny, Susan & Mary Test, Yugi Muto, and amongst others, as well as literally every other character to have ever been featured in a Kids' WB show.
