Dr. Hetter

**Dr. Max Hetter** is Dr. Monty Slicer’s counterpart. He is a rather strict and militant teacher. He only appears in the episode "Prickly is Leaving". However, in his one appearance, he has gained a reputation for being rather disproportionately ruthless and cruel. He is addressed as a Doctor. He is a minor antagonist of the episode.

## Background

Nothing much is known about Dr. Hetter's past. It is stated he graduated from an unknown university with "a Ph.D in discipline with a minor in punishment." Moreover, he may have been in the military at some point considering his demeanor. He dislikes pranksters, or "*funny kids*," because according to him one gave him a scar during a prank involving electromagnets. When Principal Prickly accepts a job as the principal of a middle school, Dr. Hetter is hired to replace him at 98th Street.

## Personality

Dr. Hetter is a cruel, vindictive, strict, megalomaniac, and overly militant teacher who wants students to act like 'soldiers' and not like kids. He is very cruel, dislikes feelings and calls emotions sappiness, thinking that emotions make people weak. This makes him a (only marginally) family-friendly caricature of a Nazi general in many ways. It is interesting to note he bears a strong resemblance to Heinrich Himmler, further reinforcing this point. Whether this resemblance was intentional is unknown. He has a feminine demeanour and scares people with it. He also insists that people show emotion, even when they can’t, such as when CJ is unable to show emotion when Principal Prickly leaves to be Principal of Spyro B. Agold Middle School and gives her a hat labelled "Hard-Faced Girl."

Dr. Slicer is the only villain in *C.J. and Friends* series who can be called truly evil. He is openly antagonistic, cruel, villainous and unlike most adult antagonists, who have good intentions but use bad methods, he does not care about doing good for school and only wants power and control.

## Appearance

He has brown hair, glasses, a thin moustache, wears a suit with an overcoat, and a brown necktie with navy blue stripes.

## History

When Prickly announced he was to leave to be the principal of a middle school, everyone rejoices, but then, Brinklow gets a fax foretelling Hetterer's arrival, and he informs The Recess Gang about him, thereafter.

Dr. Hetter arrives, and he immediately makes life miserable for the kids and staff for the brief time he's there. He makes C.J. wear paper hats that say *Funny Kid* and *Hard-Faced Girl*, hands Boyd's job to his assistant, and works to practically convert the school into a military base.

He had plans to tear down the jungle gym and put in a guard tower, clean the cannon kept in front of 98th Street's gate to make it operational, and to make students wear uniforms and regulation haircuts. Expectantly, the gang makes various plans on different ways to stop Prickly from leaving. While they were unsuccessful at first, Prickly eventually decides to stay. The last we heard of Hetter is when he yelled Prickly was making a big mistake. It is possible he became principal of the middle school.

## Trivia

* It is unknown if Hetter has ever been the principal in other schools, or what actually happened in those schools.
* Despite appearing in one episode, Dr. Hetter is possibly one of the cruelest character in the entire series, surpassing all other *C.J. and Friends* antagonists. Even Mr Boyd and the staff balk at his methods.
	+ He is surpassed in cruelty by Dr. Wilhelm Billington who nearly went global to destroy recess.
* He has Ph.D. from an unknown university.
* Dr. Hetter could be a pseudonym.
* He is one of the few people to truly terrify C.J..He is also one of a few villains that C.J. himself did not defeat directly, he was only thwarted by Prickly deciding to keep his job (though that being said, C.J. was indirectly responsible for Prickly deciding to keep his job due to admitting he'll miss Prickly, as well as Hetter exposing his more notoriously cold personality in front of Prickly).
* Rigalli also was terrified of him, as she had no interest in standing up to him, which is remarkable considering she's stood up to many adults as well as Queen Barb in the first episode and bully Shulman later in the show's run, anyone who strikes that kind of fear into Rigalli's heart is bad news.
