Bill

**Bill** is a minor character in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom*, a scientist who the main trio and Victor had saved from the innards of the latter’s bakery after he shrunk himself down and owns a laboratory in The City of Nexus where he experiments.

## Appearance

Bill is an old man with a large yet slowly decaying head of grey hair, as well as large grey eyebrows and has a face with black eyes that often have bags and wrinkles all over his skin, in addition to a crispy nose. He also has a small grey beard on his chin and often wears a white scientist coat with black edges on his sleeves and a blue shirt underneath it, with his coat having buttons and pockets on it whilst also being a bit rugged and tattered in few places. He wears old grey jeans and black and grey shoes to compliment the rest of his outfit, overall looking quite old.

## Background

Not much is known about the history of Bill or any of his other prior accomplishments, but it could be interpreted that he has been living in Nexus for a while since he has his own lab not too far away from Victor’s bakery where he has a plethora of inventions lying around which all do different sorts of things. His inventions are rarely appreciated by the rest of the city and oftentimes he remained overlooked by the majority of people, but it never caused him to give up hope in his inventions. One day he had created a shrinking device that he used in one of his experiments to perform a study on smaller life up close, but this experiment went haywire and it ended with him being lost in the tunnels of a nearby building that he couldn’t get out of due to swarms of silverfish and a giant queen. One day whilst he was trapped and sobbing over his isolation, a shrunken Turtle Man, DaPhantom, Officer M. and Victor had showed up within the ravine and heard him out, with DaPhantom offering to help him get out. After the four of them had slaughtered the silverfish mother using daylight and thus stopped the infestation, they led Bill back to the inside of Victor’s bakery and had Mort resize him back to his normal state. Happy to be back in the real world for the first time in days, he sincerely thanked the five of them and offered them any way that he could repay them - Bill informed them that his lab was nearby if they ever wanted to visit him for anything before skipping away to there. He later attended Doctor M. and Katie’s wedding at the local church, having his soul stolen then returned to him after a fight between Gerald and the evil Roger. After meeting Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Doctor M. at the church he gave them a laser machinegun he made as a token of gratitude for them saving him a few days ago.

Some more time later, he had invited Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. to his lab as he had made something that he was especially proud of and wanted to show them. After giving the three a proper tour of his lab for the first time he revealed that it was a portal which could transport people within the frame to other dimensions, but that he hadn’t tried it out yet and so wanted them to test it to see where it leads to. They agree to it, but after activating the portal and it teleporting the three of them away it overloaded the systems and caused the portal to break, thus leaving Bill behind. He later remade the portal and was able to not have it overload on use, so he could visit the Wild West dimension as well as bring the trio back home.

## Personality and Relationships

Bill is a friendly and intelligent fellow, who always aspires to use his skills and knowledge for the greater good instead of causing any harm. Though he doesn’t seem to have many (if any) friends or relatives to relate to, he remains a happy old man who is humble and sees the best of many things. Despite his age he is quite intelligent, being a scientist with many inventions that worked well such as the one that shrunk him down to a tiny size - he has claimed that he does not want to let his age get in the way of his ambitions. In addition, he does seem to be a bit of a hoarder as his lab is filled to the brim with all sorts of materials and gadgets that he does not want to get rid of, even if they are old or don’t work anymore.

He has made a good friendship with Turtle Man, DaPhantom, Officer M. and Victor for having saved him from the silverfish nest that he got lost in whilst shrunken down, offering to help them out and create things for them if they ever needed any.

## Abilities

Bill himself doesn’t have any special abilities or powers, but like some other characters his main source of strength comes from his intelligence. Though old, he is highly intelligent and knows how to make some pretty powerful and functional devices that work better then those of people such as The Devourer. However he is mostly a pacifist, almost having never made any creations that are capable of causing any serious harm or pain to others around him. Due to his age though it means that his physical strength and agility are quite weak, so he can be easily hurt and isn’t able to move fast or avoid attacks.
