**Denzel Quincy Crocker** is the mentally unstable school teacher of Timmy and the overall main antagonist of *The Fairly OddParents!*. Originally, he was just a back-up villain in the first two seasons. Since Season 3, he became one of the main antagonists of the series, and officially the main antagonist by Season 7, replacing Vicky from this role. He was also the main antagonist of *Abra-Catastrophe* and the first *Jimmy Timmy Power Hour* movie. He is also one of the two main antagonists in the *Bunsen is a Beast* crossover episode *Beast of Friends*.

## Appearance

With a hunch-back, ears on his neck, horrible teeth, and a generally nerdy appearance, Denzel Crocker is described as quite hideous by normal standards, although on occasion some other characters (such as Mr. Turner) find him "gorgeous." Most characters regard him as completely nuts, even his own co-workers. Crocker has been known to join forces with other villains such as Vicky and Dark Laser, although it is almost always because he is looking for Timmy's fairies, and he usually just gets in their way. It should be noted that his teeth were once normal, but when there were attempts to wipe his memory, the device was used so many times it caused Crocker's teeth to become horribly crooked. It has also been shown that successfully curing Crocker of his belief in Fairies removes most of his physical flaws while restoring it restores them as well.

## Personality

When Crocker has anything involved with Fairy Godparents or suspects there's one around him, or even says the word, Crocker spasms three times (each spasm spoken with "Fairy," "God," "Parents") while saying "Fairy godparents!"

Crocker is often considered as "crazy" due to his constant obsession with fairies.

In his early childhood, Crocker was kind, brave and handsome. Due to losing his fairies, he has crooked teeth, a hunched back and his ears on his neck. If Timmy hadn't affected the timeline, Crocker would have been a handsome college professor. As in the case with Francis, A.J. and Chester in the episode "It's A Wishful Life," this assertion is, at best, questionable as the alternate timeline presented was part of a test given to Timmy by Jorgen Von Strangle. In fact, it is implied The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker!, if Timmy hadn't revealed Crocker's fairies, Cosmo would have. He's mostly bitter about himself, and the world that mocks him. One of his goals is to achieve a New World Order, which he did for a short while anyway. Another goal of his is getting back on everyone who mocked him and said: "fairies aren't real." His obsession for fairies is so intense that it is used to power up the entire Fairy World, as seen in "Crocker Shocker." Although originally shown as a cruel, borderline insane megalomaniac, his personality has become more lonely and bitter rather than maniacal and is shown to wants to capture a fairy to prove he isn't a nut-job. In "Cheese and Crockers," when he captured Timmy's fairies, he used the magic to first get great hair, then win the heart of his high school crush (immediately followed by breaking her heart with the same words she broke his with), and then try and destroy Timmy. As such, he is more out to prove himself right, and fix his shattered life, than take over the universe, becoming a slightly more sympathetic character, although still the main antagonist. If Crocker hadn't stopped giving up fairies he would have lived in luxury with his crush Idaho (but even now he still turned her down). Although Crocker is mean and cold-hearted, he doesn't want to put a baby fairy's life at risk when he had actually captured a fairy. His obsession with fairies even has some ebbs to it, given that he occasionally overlooks Timmy talking to his fairies as pens (though he often confronts Turner in these instances and either go into spasms or brushes off the idea as something other than fairy godparents). Crocker has also overlooked Cosmo and Wanda's fairy nature when encountering them outside of school in episodes like "Desperate without Housewives," and has voluntarily or forcibly commanded to divert from his fairy obsession to other penchants like leprechauns, trolls, and tropical fowl. Crocker can also be considered a sympathetic anti-hero now.

## Trivia

* It was revealed in Crocker Shocker that his overwhelming belief in fairies was the sole source of power for all of Fairy World. Since the end of Crocker Shocker, people similar to him are also used as the sources of power for Fairy World.
* In "Pipe Down", Crocker spots Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda and does his usual fairy godparents spasm frantically, but since there is no sound, no one, for once, can hear him scream!
* Denzel Crocker made more appearances since Season 7 onward, replacing Vicky as Timmy's most frequent antagonist in the series. His appearances exploded in Season 9, appearing in the majority of episodes since then. Though many of these appearances were minor, and their usual purposes were punch line jokes.
	+ Denzel Crocker can be considered to be a foil to Vicky, as he is often portrayed as being a sympathetic and/or comedic villain while Vicky is typically portrayed as being a frightening and unsympathetic villain.
	+ Also, both of them became "flanderized" in the newer seasons. While Vicky became an even more destructive and evil villain than she was before, Crocker became more comical and bumbling (even though he was often portrayed as a comical villain from the beginning, he was still a serious threat), but in the newer seasons, Crocker isn't as evil as he was in the first 6 seasons. This is supported by the fact that Timmy and Crocker often teamed up in the newer seasons. They have been teamed up temporarily in the older seasons as well but the two were still considered to be arch-enemies. In the recent seasons, despite the fact that Crocker can still be evil, he has been acting more friendly towards Timmy.
* He can also be considered as a supporting character or an "on and off" antagonist (instead of a true villain) in the newer seasons because of the aforementioned reasons.
* His favorite student was Timmy's Dad when he became a temporary student in his class. In "Teacher's Pet", his favorite student is A.J.. Since Season 10, his new favorite student is Chloe.
* Denzel Crocker said being a fairy is the best thing that happened in his life when he was turned into one before Timmy wished him back to normal.
* When Crocker arrived at the ice planet on "Wishology!", he became a parody of Chewbacca, a character from Star Wars.
* Crocker has confiscated several comic books during his career at Dimmsdale Elementary according to his statement from The Big Superhero Wish as follows: "I confiscated a lot of comic books in my time."
* He loves cheese (as seen in Cheese and Crockers), but in Dread 'N' Breakfast when Mrs. Turner offers some cheese, he refuses it.
* He is one of the few, if not the only character with a theme song that plays in the title screen of any episode he is the antagonist (or, similar arranges). Curiously, it's the same arrange in Abra-Catastrophe!'s opening, a movie where he is the main antagonist.
* He's been hunting fairies since 1975.
* He's at his worst on March 15th.
* Mr. Crocker is very similar to Mr. Lancer from Danny Phantom. They're both weird teachers whose dialog features frequent sarcastic humor, they're both treated with disrespect, they're both underpaid and under-appreciated, and they're both creations belonging to Butch Hartman. However, while Mr. Lancer wishes for his students to succeed, Mr. Crocker enjoys failing them.
* Denzel Crocker has appeared in all movies except Fairly Odd Baby.
* He was a very kind person when he was a kid before his fairies were taken away. He also had saved Mr. Turner from being hit by a truck as a kid resulting in saving Mr. Turner's life.
* In the episode 'Timmy's Secret Wish', Denzel Crocker is aged by 50 years more, making him 103 years old. However, his appearance has not changed a single bit. This is because his trauma aged him all at once.
