Bill Tedderson

**Bill Tedderson** is a scientist who first appears in Firing Squad. He employees Ben, Lucy and Kate at his science laboratory to clean up the bathrooms.

## Appearence

Bill is an older adult who has fair skin and a dirty blonde tuft of hair, and a small mustache. Due to his laser eye surgery, he wears a purple visor that acts as his own set of eyes which appear as green squares with rectangle eyebrows (the visor screen also brings up a red crosshair when he is aiming at something), they also allow him to shoot a containment laser. He wears a white lab coat with a purple shirt and pants, as well as a green and pink belt.

## Personality

Bill Tedderson is a professional scientist and inventor, being able to create a multitude of various objects and forms of life, he is shown to have an excellent amount of intelligence and knowledge in many fields of the scientific and paranormal world, as well as a possible degree of professionalism in philosophy, which are present in many of his experiments (Paranormal specimens, Dinosaurs with lasers and explosions, as well as also knowing the secret to everlasting happiness and fulfillment). Despites these crazy creations and his job as a scientist, he is very mature and takes his job seriously, being very upset at Ben and his friends for destroying his lab and work. As well as supposedly being annoyed whenever someone asks him about his visor. However, he is also very wise and content to warn others not to make the same mistakes he did. This is shown when he is talking to Ben after the filmmaker and Lucy had an argument, Tedderson tells Ben that when he was his age he was so blinded by his owns goals and ambition that he didn't stop to think about or consider how it affected his own friends until they were gone. He then tells Ben that he should cherish the moments he has with his friends for as long as he can, for they may not last forever.

## Trivia

* His visor is very similar to that of Future Tom from Eddsworld, another web-toon both Tom and Eddie have previously worked on.
* His belt looks oddly similar to Kamen Rider Ex-Aid's Gamer Driver. Interestingly enough, the main character of Ex-Aid is a doctor.
* A post-credits scene of Firing Squad implies he has some sort of relevance to the strange hooded girl (who bears a strong resemblance to Kate), whether or not this will be explored in further episodes is unknown.
* Some fans have speculated that Bill is an older version of Ben from the future, since he has some physical similarities and odd behavior.
	+ Judging by how he quickly comes up with the name "Bill Tedderson" while introducing himself, "Bill Tedderson" may not be his actual name.
	+ In an earlier scene, Ben wrote the name Bill several times on his name-tag.
	+ He has a Labrador dog that also uses a visor and seems to have the ability to talk human language because of it (as shown in the post-credits scene).
	+ He tells Ben that while putting his own goals and achievements before him, he didn't realize or consider about how they would affect his own friends until they no longer were with him, possibly telling his younger self to always remember about his friends and how they feel about his choices.
	+ In the post-credits scene of Firing Squad, he is shown taking aim at a strange hooded child who bears an extreme resemblance to Kate (whether or not this is actually her is unknown) and then standing down.
* In Out of Time and Shell Shock, Bill’s short segment in the intro is different than the other supporting characters, appearing completely in color rather than tinted in a color and on his own instead of with some more supporting characters, this may imply a bigger role in the series.
