Ronald Stoppable (The Beast Within)

Ronald "Ron" Stoppable has been Kim Possible's best friend since Pre-K, her next-door neighbor, and finally boyfriend, mainly serving as her sidekick during missions. Now the 2 serve as agents of the organization, S.H.I.E.L.D. after Ron was accidentally exposed to an incomplete version of Dr. Erskein's super soldier serum.

## History

### Easly Years

Ron was born to Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable, and grew up in Middleton, Colorado. When he was a small child, he had a friend, Bonnie Rockwaller of whom he affectionately called, Bon-Bon. He later met and befriended a girl named Kimberly in his preschool with whom he would have many adventures. Unfortunately, he unknowingly distanced himself from Bon-Bon.

### Birth of the Hulk

After becoming exposed to a super-soldier serum, he found himself going through a metamorphosis whenever he is enraged. The first change happened when Kim was struck in the back by Dr. Drakken with a metal bar when she was getting up off the floor. Seeing his best friend injured that way drove him into a rage caused the serum in his system to awaken his inner "monster".

## Appearance

### Normal

Ron is medium height as he was estimated to be 5'9" (5ft 9in) with a wiry build.

He has blond hair and brown eyes with fair skin complexion with freckles. His face is oval shaped with a long and pointy nose.

### The Hulk

His body becomes abnormally larger with increased muscle mass. Ron's skin changes to a deep green color.

## Personality

Ron was a high school student with an eccentric personality. He served as the "bumbling sidekick" and best friend to Kim Possible.

His antics are often those of a comedian, providing distractions to villains, but he also served as an anchor for Kim's competitive and image-conscious personality. Due to Ron's erratic nature he has displayed serious contradictions and/or inconsistencies in terms of personality and capability.

### Work Ethic

He has put great effort into areas that he found important or interesting at the time, such as working at Bueno Nacho, playing Zombie Mayhem, taking care of Rufus, cooking, and assisting Kim on missions.

However, there are many areas and times where he refused to put in the work necessary or would put in only the bare minimum of effort required for success. These areas were usually related to areas that he didn't find important, or where he knew that the results would be satisfactory without him doing anything, such as making his partner do all of the work on a shared project, not studying for a test, or putting off doing his homework until the last second.

### Obsession

Ron has repeatedly shown a tendency to become obsessed with various ideas and/or concepts, especially if they were either connected to what he saw as a personal flaw in himself, or if they somehow corrected the aforementioned flaw in his eyes.

Although Ron was almost constantly unpopular at school and generally was not bothered by this, occasionally he would go to extreme lengths to obtain or maintain sudden boosts in popularity. Notable examples included twisting Kim's words in an interview to make it seem like she had a crush on quarterback Brick Flagg, obsessing over his perceived lack of manliness and physical stature, and trying out for nearly every sport that his school offered in an attempt to become popular with girls. These instances became less common over time.

Ron's obsessions occasionally put himself and those around him at serious risk. After a new hair cut suggested by Kim, Ron changed virtually his entire lifestyle to extend its popularity, but overlooked the fact that his new wardrobe did not contain a pocket for Rufus to safely rest in. Ron later tried to legitimize a junk food diet by eating nothing but Bueno Nacho meals, which quickly worsened his already bad eating habits and, in combination with falling into Henchco's Project Titan vat, ultimately turned him into a rampaging behemoth.

As Kim once so accurately commented, Ron was also "prone to big-headiness" from time to time. Global Justice's suggestion that Ron was a so-called mysterious "Ron Factor" which might have been the real reason for Team Possible's success caused him to become extremely boastful. When Bonnie suggested that Jim and Tim Possible replace Ron as the school mascot, he immediately assumed they would ruin his "legacy", despite the fact he had done more to embarrass himself in the role.

### Nonconformity

Ron often behaved in unique ways that set him apart from his peers, and he did not seem to mind this distinction at all, even when it earned him negative attention or comments.

Ron had a tendency to hold onto childhood habits and customs, often stubbornly refusing to change despite the negative reactions of others. Examples of this included continuing a tradition of trick-or-treating although his peers had long since stopped, pretending to be younger so he could take advantage of a kids discount at a fancy restaurant, and maintaining preferred customer status at JP Bearymore's Pizza Party-Torium well into his late teen years.

Ron's moderate hyperactivity and his tendency to act with a pronounced level of immaturity earned him a reputation as a loser among some of his peers, especially Bonnie.. However, for the most part, Ron either did not notice the insults, and thus tended to embarrass those around him more than himself, or he considered his quirks to be part of his intrinsic "Ronness" and ignored what others thought. This was most prevalently summed up when he declared his motto as "Never be normal!"

### Jealousy

Ron has displayed several bouts of jealousy, especially when he felt that someone was stealing Kim's attention from him, such as when Kim first met Monique and then later Eric. This jealousy was not simply reserved for Kim's attention, as he displayed jealousy of his adopted little sister when she first joined his family. In that particular case, however, Ron received no prior warning of his parents' intention to adopt, and simply arrived home to find Hana's nursery in his room, and himself shifted up to the attic, so his jealousy was both expected and arguably acceptable under the circumstances, at least to begin with.

However, Ron really only displayed jealousy with regard to attention. He never expressed envy over Kim's abilities, and instead constantly offered her encouragement in the field, and showed himself to largely be a loyal friend/boyfriend.

### Relaxed and Easy-Going

Due to Ron's relaxed and easy-going natured, he was normally highly resistant to most forms of peer pressure, and was largely unconcerned with appearance and fads unless they concerned him directly. Some of this might have been due to Ron not being aware of current trends: he regularly watched TV at Kim's house because his own family did not have cable for quite some time, and as a result was only able to participate in some trends by the time their popularity had faded considerably.

Ron's ambivalence to appearance and fad led to him labeling Kim a "retail snob" because of her insistence on buying her clothes at Club Banana, even though she could get the same clothes at Smarty Mart for a fraction of the cost, but refused to due to social standards.

### Non-Judgemental

Ron had a tendency to move between different cliques and social groups without showing any undue prejudice of their various cultures.

He associated with cheerleaders such as Kim and Bonnie, who were the most popular girls in school, and at the same time maintained friendships with the most socially outcast nerds, Larry and Ned. Ron accepted, and was accepted by, people as diverse as Monique, a social gossip and fashion guru; Wade, a super-genius shut-in; Zita, a gamer girl; and Felix, a wheelchair-bound boy. He interacted with all the above groups on a regular basis, and never appeared to judge them or their activities as more or less worthy. In his senior year, he added the high school football team to this list, having become its star running back.

Ron's noted fearlessness in approaching different people appeared to have been a result of plenty of rejection in the past, as he had developed very tough social skin and was not especially bothered by someone refusing to associate with him. He even viewed the idea of asking out virtually every girl at school, in order for him to have a date for a dance, to be an entertaining challenge rather than a problem. Ron was, however, quite sensitive about his friends turning their backs on him, likely due to a bad break with his former friend Billy Bullwicky in second grade.

### Phobias and Fears

Throughout the years much was made of Ron's many phobias and fears. His Pithecophobia, fear of "monkeys", was most frequently mentioned and seen, thanks largely to repeated encounters with Monkey Ninjas. However, this fear was triggered by an overly excited chimpanzee, and included other apes such as gorillas, so what Ron actually feared was most nonhuman primates. He did somewhat overcome this fear, in the cases of his friendships with Chippy and Frederick, but even long after those incidents, the mere mention of monkeys clearly bothered him.

Ron was also shown or stated to posses a fear of insects, spiders, mechanical horses, garden gnomes, ghosts, and many other things. He was often seen panicking and running away from such things, or at least being overly wary of them to the point of Kim's annoyance. Suprisingly though, it seems that Ron does not fear insects when they are larger, in contrast to Kim who only fears them when they get larger.

Ron also had a tendency to be extremely paranoid, especially when frightened, an end result of his numerous childhood phobias and bad experiences. Although in his defense, occasionally Ron's suspicions served as an early warning for actual dangers, such as his many fears about Camp Wannaweep and his early mistrust of Lord Monty Fiske. In both cases, Kim merely assumed that Ron was overreacting and ignored his concerns, and as such was caught entirely off guard when his hunches proved accurate, though he was wrong in the case of Chippy.

His fears reached an apex when he became aware of the statistical odds of being seriously injured on a mission. Ron became so paranoid that he locked himself in a panic room and refused to leave, even when Rufus told him that Kim was in trouble. But Ron's father reminded him that "some things are worth the risk," which finally convinced Ron to save her despite the odds.

### Bravery

-Ambrose Redmoon

Closely related to Ron's fears and phobias was his extreme bravery.

Kim's cousin, Joss, paraphrased Ambrose Redmoon's famous quote when she observed that Ron's actions in loyally following Kim into danger, despite being afraid of practically everything, was the mark of true bravery. Ron rarely ever chose not to accompany Kim on missions, and in most of those cases he displayed great disappointment or inner turmoil over his decision. In fact, far more often Ron actually looked forward to globetrotting and missions, while being very much aware of the danger involved.

Even as a child Ron exhibited this bravery in the face of his fears, when in preschool he confronted the bullies picking on Kim, despite the fact that he was afraid of them.

## Abilities

Due to Ron's erratic nature he has displayed serious contradictions and/or inconsistencies in terms of his capabilities.

### Culinary Abilities

Ron is a talented cook, approaching chef-levels. This was likely due to practice he had when he was eight. It is one of his abilities that almost always remains at a consistently high level.

While a sophomore in high school Ron created the wildly successful and popular Naco while in the employ of Bueno Nacho. The Naco was so well received that within a short time, on the order of a week or less, he received enough money from its sales to buy Kim a jacket which would have cost two weeks' normal wages. Then during his junior year of high school Ron received a $99 million royalty payment on the continued sales of the Naco up to that point in time.

Ron's culinary talents even earned him the role of the home economics teacher during his sophomore year of high school. Which he used to transform the home economics's room into a "world class restaurant", according to Steven Barkin. His food was so good, Mr. Barkin put Ron in charge of food services for Middleton High School. Unfortunately his tenure was cut short when the health inspector saw Rufus, a live rodent, serving food.

### Communication with Animals

Ron has demonstrated an uncanny ability to actually converse with and understand several animals. Most often, this was seen in his interactions with Rufus, although it could be argued that Rufus was already, albeit unusually, communicative with others as well. Ron has, however, also shown that he could communicate very well with other animals: Chippy the monkey ninja, Roachie the mutated cockroach, and Professor Dementor's giant dachshunds, to name a few.

### Creativity

Ron has repeatedly proven himself to be a very original and highly imaginative individual, often to the surprise of those around him. As a child, Ron had an imaginary friend named "Rufus", who he later presumably named his naked mole-rat after.

Ron wrote the song *Say the Word* which Kim sung at the school talent show. Additionally, in order to buy Kim more time to arrive at the show, Ron came up with a wide variety of talents to showcase on the spot, and gave a performance so lengthy that he won first prize.

When assigned an autobiographical creative writing assignment, Ron detailed the story of how he met Rufus, which he and Rufus then turned into the *Naked Mole Rap* and performed with virtually no preparation time. Both the judge and Mr. Barkin awarded Ron a B minus for his efforts.

Ron enjoyed success in many arts and crafts-related activities while at Camp Wannaweep, and was able to recall on them to weave a net years later to catch Gill in next to no time. He also designed the original outfit for the Middleton Mad Dog mascot with his Movie Makeup Magic kit. Kim and the other cheerleaders strongly disliked the outfit, partly due to the head foaming banana cream at the mouth. However, the Mad Dog proved to be a real crowd pleaser. Ron has also exhibited a talent in making disguises, such as when he disguised himself as Mr. Dr. Possible to help stop the Bebes.

Ron's creativity and passion served him well in the workplace. His unique ideas resulted in his rapid promotion while working at Bueno Nacho, where he became an assistant manager and created the well-received menu item, the naco.

Perhaps due to Ron's extremely creative and imaginative mind, he had trouble accepting the fact that he and Kim had actually begun dating after their prom. He repeatedly called Kim in the middle of the night to reassure himself of this, as he had repeated nightmares about the event having been something he had only imagined. Although in Ron's defense, he and Kim had gotten something of a false start on dating before while she was under the influence of the Moodulator.

### Athleticism

Despite Ron's typical portrayal as being clumsy and physically ineffective, he has throughout the series exhibited numerous examples of exemplary athleticism. During Ron's considerable time as Kim's sidekick, he gained experience in many of the widely varied methods of transport that she did. In particular, Ron was often seen SCUBA diving, skydiving, and mountain climbing. These were usually displayed alongside and overshadowed by Kim's more skillful executions, while Ron regularly bumbled his attempts, but his proficiency was much more obvious while working alone.

Ron appeared to have a often overlooked affinity for extreme sports and related activities that even he was largely unaware of. He executed a near-perfect solo infiltration of Drakken's lair in order to retrieve Ray-X, and demonstrated a fairly high amount of skill in doing so.. Also, he accidentally created the extreme sport of umbrella surfing, although he could not repeat his first spectacular performance on demand.

The second time that Ron tried out for the Middleton High Football Team, it was discovered that his so-called "mad running away skills" made him a natural running back. In fact, he earned the school's all-time rushing record and ran the entire opposing team into exhaustion after just one play, which earned him the nickname "Unstoppable Stoppable". In fact, according to Kim, Ron's running allowed him to break "more [football] records than Brick ever did".

Ron bragged that he never caught germs, due to the "fortress that is the Stoppable immune system". In an odd coincidence, the one time Ron did catch a cold, despite being around Kim and her brothers, who all had colds at the time, Ron caught a cold from Shego, who herself possessed superhuman endurance and resiliency. Therefore, the argument could be made that Ron only got sick because Shego was one of the few people that could successfully pass a cold onto him.

### The Ron Factor

Ron rarely received any recognition for his helping Kim, until Global Justice scientists hypothesized the true secret to Kim's success was an intangible talent/element which Ron was thought to possess which they dubbed as "The Ron Factor". It supposedly allowed him to achieve results through a series of apparently random mishaps that would otherwise require great skill to accomplish. According to Wade, The Ron Factor could have been a product of non-linear mathematical concepts, also known as Chaos Theory. Initially, Global Justice believed The Ron Factor was the secret to Team Possible's success and they researched it heavily for a short period of time, hoping to harness it themselves. They were unable to isolate it, so Global Justice eventually concluded that it did not exist, or at least that it was a "non-factor", though at the time they began researching the possible existence of "The Rufus Factor" instead.

Despite Global Justice's conclusion, there was considerable evidence suggesting The Ron Factor, or as Ron once termed it "Not dumb luck, Kim. Dumb skills", may have been both real and even exploitable under the proper circumstances. As a "bumbling sidekick", Ron was typically portrayed as being extremely loyal but also clumsy and easily frightened. He tended to "trip over his own feet" in many situations, and during missions it was common for him to comically fail to do something that Kim did flawlessly. Such as he might ski backwards down a mountain and collide with a tree just after Kim had successfully negotiated the slope. If one were to consider any skills were imparted by the mystical Jade Idols, then Ron's expression of *Tai Shing Pek Kwar* which best suits his nature may be the sub-style of *Drunken Monkey*.

Ron's clumsiness was very pronounced early on. A case of "two steps forward, three steps back" often resulted in him endangering himself or the mission. Kim was frequently forced to stop whatever she was doing to save him, or occasionally tripped up by him. Over time Ron's skills became more proficient, and he required rescuing less frequently. Much of his clumsiness was later used primarily as comic relief distraction portrayed as awkwardness rather than incompetence. In particular, he often performed feats of physical skill and dexterity alongside Kim, albeit in an awkward and slightly panicked manner in contrast to Kim's usually graceful and deliberate performance. Furthermore, Ron's awkwardness occasionally worked in his favor, allowing him to accomplish things through clumsiness that neither he nor Kim could through pure skill. An example of this is when Ron's panic at discovering a scorpion in his leg enabled them to discover the entrance to Drakken's secret lair.

Shego realized that Kim was most effective as an adversary when working side-by-side with Ron, and separated them by moving the Stoppables to Norway. This separation weakened Team Possible greatly, to the point where Shego was able to take over the world.

### Mystically-Enhanced Monkey-Based Powers

Ron finally realized his fated destiny when, during his graduation from high school, Kim and Drakken were kidnaped by the Lorwardian aliens Warhok and Warmonga. Ron rescued them with Shego's help, but eventually found himself alone and overwhelmed by Warhok's strength. Warhok then threatened to separate Kim from Ron for good, which caused Ron to consciously tap into his Mystical Monkey Power for the first time. In the battle that followed, Ron displayed

* **Superhuman Strength** - Ron was able to easily toss around the Lowardians.
* **Levitation** - Ron levitated into the air with a blue aura surrounding him.
* **Telekinesis** - Ron lifted the Lowardian machines into the air with the power of his mind.
* **Ability To Wield Mystically-Enhanced Weapons**

The Lowardians proved no match for him in this state and were quickly defeated. Master Sensei recognized Ron as the Supreme Monkey Master.

### Other Abilities

(NOTE: This is a placeholder until the info's sections are moved here.)

Despite his apparent shortcomings, Ron might easily be one of the most powerful individuals known, perhaps only superseded by The Yono. Once, he was able to stand his own against both Kim and Shego at the same time with his hands tied behind his back. However, Ron's full power has not been fully unleashed for any extended periods of time with any sort of reliability.

While Ron's intelligence is often masked behind his clowning around and slacker mentality, he has occasionally displayed spikes of insight and genius, such as while Evil. At first Kim attributed his aptitude at building evil weapons as an aftereffect of absorbing Drakken's evil. However Shego, who had known Drakken longer than almost anyone else, admitted to his never being able to create such powerful and sophisticated weaponry when Evil Ron used Drakken's gadgets and arsenal with ease better than Drakken ever could.

As the Hulk, Agent Stoppable has beyond superhuman levels of strength and after Dementor infused him with gamma radiation, the angrier he was, the more Hulk's strength would increase.

## Relationships

### Family

Ron was the only natural child of a Jewish family. His father was an actuary and his mother had an unspecified job. They later adopted a baby girl, Hana Stoppable, who became Ron's younger sister.

Several of Ron's insecurities and fears could be traced back to some fairly questionable treatment by his parents over the years. While they clearly cared about him, they repeatedly did not consider his feelings or likely reactions while they made life-altering decisions. Most notably, they had a bad habit of simply making big decisions, such as Hana's adoption, and only informing Ron either as they were happening, or after the changes had already been made, giving him no chance to adjust. This was presumably why Ron often proved extremely reluctant and resistant to unexpected changes in his normal routine.

#### Mother

*Main article: Mrs. Stoppable*
Mrs. Stoppable was typically portrayed as being the stricter parent, and as a result, she and Ron did not seem especially close at times. Most notably, she had very little patience for some of Ron's more pronounced personality quirks: Ron had to suffer through the horrors of Camp Wannaweep as a child was because his mother stopped accepting his frequent requests by phone to come home. She also swore off helping him with school projects due to an unexplained "paper machete" incident, although Ron's habitual laziness where major projects were concerned was more than likely a factor. She did, however, attempt to comfort Ron when he doubted whether or not he was truly a man.

One possible explanation for Mrs. Stoppable's typical treatment of Ron is she may have wanted a daughter rather than a son. When Ron was eight years old she gave him a Granny Crocket Quickie-Bake Mixer and Oven set, which contributed to his excellent cooking skills. For Mother's Day, rather than wanting to spend time with her son, Mrs. Stoppable instead demanded that he clean the garage in order to make her happy. Indeed, Mrs. Stoppable was very pleased when she and her husband finally adopted a baby girl, Hana. In addition, she was very happy and touched when Ron showed a genuine interest in wanting to take care of and spend time with Hana.

#### Father

*Main article: Mr. Stoppable*
Although not particularly close, Ron still appeared more comfortable with his father than his mother. They did not seem to spend much time together, likely due to extremely different interests, but Mr. Stoppable was eager to be part of Ron's life, and to be seen as Ron's hero. As an actuary, Mr. Stoppable tended to give Ron fairly down-to-earth advice, though Ron was not always able to appreciate it at the time. Ron did occasionally ask him for advice, but more often went to other male role models, such as Mr. Barkin or Dr. James Possible. Though rarely seen, Mr. Stoppable could be very protective of Ron, at least where villains mistreating Ron was concerned.

#### Sibling

*Main article: Hana Stoppable*
Ron's status as an only child ended during his Senior year, when his parents adopted a baby girl named Hana. Partially because Ron received no warning whatsoever of this major change, he was extremely upset and refused to accept Hana as his sister. Eventually, however, he grew to see her as part of the family, and matured into a very protective and devoted big brother.

#### Other Relatives

Ron also had several other relatives who made brief appearances:

* Shaun was a bad-tempered younger cousin that took great joy in tormenting Ron and Rufus. Ron particularly dreaded getting stuck with him at family functions.
* Reuben Stoppable, a cousin Ron apparently did like, at least by comparison.
* Mrs. Reuben Stoppable, Reuben's bride who Ron had little interaction with. Her maiden name was Starter.
* Jon Stoppable, a turn-of-the-century Middleton police constable and Ron's great-grandfather. While his exploits have been questionable mainly due to being from a shared dream and a fictitious memory, a float of his head featured in the Middleton Pickle Days parade established Jon's existence as real, if not the events of the dream.
* Ronacus, a gladiator hero seen as a stone statue at the Tri-City Museum which supposedly could have been an ancestor of Ron's. Unfortunately details lost to time prevent establishing anything beyond a strong resemblance.

#### Pets

When Ron was about twelve years old, he was allowed to have a pet so long as it did not irritate his father's allergies to virtually every kind of pet hair. Ron purchased a naked mole rat, Rufus, from a Smarty Mart. Ron carried Rufus almost constantly in his pocket from then on, and considered him more a member of the family than a pet.

### Friends

#### Kim Possible

*Main article: Kim Possible*
Ron met Kim in Pre-K, and the two have been best friends ever since. This strong friendship was unusual for them both. Ron consistently had trouble connecting with others and girls especially, while most of Kim's friends were female presumably because boys found either her or her father to be intimidating. These obstacles did not apply to each other, as Ron was a constant and welcome visitor in the Possible home, and Kim was amused rather than annoyed by Ron's weirdness. Their friendship survived some very serious tests, such as Kim initially siding with her fellow cheerleaders against Ron becoming their high school mascot, Ron falsifying a news article about Kim liking Brick Flagg in order to gain fame, and a brief falling out based on Ron being promoted over Kim during their time working at Bueno Nacho.

Through everything, even if momentarily sidetracked, Ron and Kim ultimately valued their loyalty to each other above all else. Their bond was no doubt strengthened through Ron's role as Kim's sidekick. Repeatedly having faced danger and potentially death side-by-side, Ron and Kim saved each other's lives a number of times, and came to depend on each other as partners as well as friends, which by their senior year grew to a more romantic relationship. This relationship was frequently tried by Ron's social ineptness, but had ultimately survived clear through their Graduation from high school.

#### Wade

*Main article: Wade*
Wade and Ron were good friends. Ron eagerly looked forward to any chance to meet Wade in person, and was always greatly disappointed when Wade canceled at the last minute. He also enjoyed playing with Wade's gadgets, despite how often this habit backfired, due to Ron either not waiting for instructions on proper useCite error: Closing `</ref>` missing for `<ref>` tag.

#### Felix Renton

*Main article: Felix Renton*
Felix was one of the few close friends that Ron had outside of his friendship with Kim. Unlike many people, Ron did not see Felix being in a wheelchair as a handicap, and treated him essentially as he would any other friend. Felix was also considerate of Ron's friendship with Kim, and the two boys generally extended an invite to her if they had made plans together.

#### Monique

*Main article: Monique*
Ron initially felt threatened by Monique. This was largely because he learned after the fact that she had met and befriended Kim. His unease grew when Kim began to spend notably less time with him to hang out with Monique, and showed an increased interest in things she had in common with Monique, but not with Ron. However, Monique and Ron eventually discovered that they had things in common as well, and Ron's unease around her vanished.

Because Monique filled the unique role of Kim's closest female friend, she was often the person Kim would vent to if Ron had done something notable to annoy or embarrass her. But as Ron's friend as well, this also gave Monique the chance to attempt to help him correct the behavior, even though she in turn was usually annoyed by Ron's habit of being slow to change.

#### Possible family

*Main article: James Possible*
*Main article: Ann Possible*
*Main article: Jim and Tim Possible*
Due to the enormous amount of time Ron spent with Kim, especially at the Possible home, he was very comfortable with her entire family. Ron was regularly present at their family dinners and events, often with neither of Kim's parents having known he was coming ahead of time, but always including him as Kim's "plus one" with ease despite that. He was treated as a member of the family, and was therefore given a great deal more warmth and trust, especially where his considerable time with Kim was concerned, than any other boy would normally be given. Ron was also a fairly frequent volunteer at both Ann's and James's workplaces, and seemed to have a vague but genuine interest in both rocket science and nursing.

### Mentors

#### Steven Barkin

*Main article: Steven Barkin*
Mr. Barkin's "tough but fair" policy rarely seemed to apply in his treatment of Ron, who he initially appeared to greatly dislike for no obvious reason. Ron claimed this was due to a funny look he gave Barkin in ninth grade, which Barkin himself confirmed. However, it gradually became more obvious that while Barkin was indeed especially tough on Ron, this was done largely in an attempt to further educate and mold him into a more well-rounded student. Conveniently enough, Barkin having to take over nearly every class that Ron was in, and then later discovering they were colleagues at Smarty Mart, gave him plenty of opportunities to do so. Barkin was easily frustrated by some of Ron's bad habits, such as his tendency to ignore or forget certain school rules, and a certain lack of respect for Barkin's authority on some issues. Their relationship eventually progressed to the point where Ron viewed Barkin as something of a mentor, and occasionally went to him for advice when troubled.

#### Master Sensei

*Main article: Master Sensei*
Though they did not spend much time together, Master Sensei of the Yamanouchi Ninja School was clearly the mentor that Ron was most relaxed around. The two shared an easy, unspoken bond of mutual respect and friendship. Beyond that, Master Sensei always believed in and encouraged Ron's hidden potential, especially when Ron himself doubted its existence.

#### Martin Smarty

*Main article: Martin Smarty*
Ron idolized Martin Smarty, both as a highly successful businessman and as the founder of Smarty Mart, Ron's favorite store. As thanks for saving him from a kidnapping attempt, Mr. Smarty gave Ron a job in the pet department at the Smarty Mart in Middleton. Ron left a lasting impression as a dedicated and hard-working employee, and Mr. Smarty later introduced Ron to his son Artie in the hopes of exposing Artie to a positive role model.

### Love Interest

#### Zita Flores

*Main article: Zita Flores*
Zita was the first girl Ron was seen dating, and was likely his first girlfriend. Ron went to great lengths to pursue and impress her, and though this repeatedly backfired, Zita seemed to genuinely like him for the most part. She admitted to being annoyed that Ron considered their frequent meetings at Bueno Nacho to be dates. Worthy of note was that Kim did not consider Zita a threat to her friendship with Ron, nor were Ron and Zita regularly affectionate with each other. The relationship did not seem to last long, and Ron's feelings on the matter were never mentioned. Zita was later implied to be in a relationship with Ron's best male friend Felix Renton during their high school graduation.

#### Amelia

*Main article: Amelia*
Ron's attraction to Amelia was clearly based on her being pretty and popular. Rather fittingly, those were also the only conditions under which she was attracted to Ron, and much like her feelings, those times were fleeting at best. Most notably, Ron did not exist in her eyes until he had money to spend on her, considerable influence within the school's social scene, or drastically altered his appearance to better fit in. Curiously, according to Animology, Ron's pink sloth was the soulmate to Amelia's red otter.

#### Tara

*Main article: Tara*
Tara was the first girl that showed any obvious romantic interest in Ron. Ironically, everyone but Ron seemed aware of her feelings. Tara was greatly impressed by how Ron took charge and ultimately saved the entire cheer squad at Camp Wannaweep, and thanked him with a kiss on the cheek. Assumedly because Ron was not aware of her crush and thus did not respond to it, Tara lost interest. Ron only learned of the missed opportunity when Kim later saw Tara with Josh Mankey, and assumed Ron would be hurt. Instead, Ron was more shocked and annoyed that no one had told him about Tara's crush.

#### Bonnie Rockwaller

*Main article: Bonnie Rockwaller*
Bonnie typically showed open disdain towards Ron, both because he was at the bottom of the school popularity food chain, and because he was Kim's best friend. Despite this, he did not seem to hold a grudge against her for the most part, and typically treated her either as a friend or a potential girlfriend, much to Bonnie's annoyance. He did, however, respect Kim's rivalry with her, and occasionally helped Kim compete with Bonnie on various stages.

Bonnie was very much aware of Ron's attraction to her, and exploited it when the situation suited her, both as a way of using Ron and angering Kim in the process. Bonnie briefly became Ron's girlfriend when she found out he was rich, though this was only as long as he bought her expensive things. Bonnie also rigged the homecoming vote so she replaced Kim as queen. As Ron had seemingly been genuinely voted king, this effectively made them the "royal couple", which Bonnie took great pleasure in rubbing in Kim's face. In truth, Bonnie had only been depressed and lonely over her recent break-up with Brick Flagg, and gladly returned to insulting Ron once she found new love with Señor Senior, Junior.

#### Yori

*Main article: Yori*
Ron was attracted to Yori from the moment he first met her. He spent much of their time together trying to impress her, and while the results were mixed at best, Yori was clearly attracted to him as well. Ron was not aware that Yori's feelings for him had progressed beyond friendship until Kim told him. The next time they saw each other, Ron and Kim had recently begun dating, which Yori surprisingly accepted with good grace. As a result, she remained on good terms with both Ron and Kim, considering them trusted friends and dependable allies.

#### Kim Possible

*Main article: Kim Possible*
*Main article: Kim and Ron's relationship*
Ron's best friend since Pre-K, next door neighbor, and sidekick. Over time their friendship became something more and they became a couple at the end of their Junior year. A result most of their classmates, whom up until the week of their Sophomore year Spirit Dance believed the pair was dating, seemed to have expected, and given the cheers when the pair made their entrance after a mission near the end of the Junior Prom, supported. They were still dating at the start of their Senior year and stayed together throughout their graduation.

### Nemesis

#### Monkey Fist

*Main article: Monkey Fist*
Ron had a bad feeling about Lord Monty Fiske within minutes of meeting him, which Kim promptly ignored as one of Ron's usual baseless hunches. In this case, however, Ron was extremely right as Fiske would go on to become Monkey Fist, one of Team Possible's most dedicated and difficult foes. Monkey Fist was unique among their enemies in that he not only remembered Ron's name, but actually focused his hatred on Ron fairly consistently. Likewise, Ron also hated Monkey Fist due mostly to his overwhelming fear of and discomfort around nonhuman primates and especially monkeys, which Monkey Fist both emulated and envied. Ron even considered Monkey Fist to be his arch foe, and their encounters tended to be especially heated. Monkey Fist made no secret of his desire to kill Ron and those around him and Ron felt a personal responsibility to handle him whether when Kim was present or not. However, aside from his first skirmish with Fiske and a slap-fight, Ron never fought him one-on-one, usually tangling with the monkey ninjas or displaying his "mad running away skills". Ron did however (as it was hoped he would) successfully train the one to best Monkey Fist, which led to his permanent defeat.

#### Gill

*Main article: Gill*
Gil Moss was a bully during Ron's childhood summer stay at Camp Wannaweep. Ron was reluctant to go swimming in the lake, the waters of which he considered suspicious, and Gil was only too eager to swap places on the roster with him. Gil's constant exposure to the toxic water eventually triggered a mutation, turning him into a *Black Lagoon*-like humanoid "muck monster". Gil blamed his mutation on Ron and harbored a deep-seated hatred for him. Gil eventually began calling himself Gill, and devoted much of his time to planning revenge against Ron. However, Gill eventually came to see his mutation as a blessing, and while he still held Ron responsible for it, he put aside much of his hatred in order to pursue the goal of turning everyone else, Ron included, into mutants like himself.

#### Dr. Drakken

*Main article: Dr. Drakken*
Ron and Dr. Drakken had several encounters while Kim and Shego were busy fighting, and one thing almost always remained constant: Drakken could not seem to recall Ron's name no matter how often Ron reminded him. On the other hand, both Ron and Kim forgot Drakken's name within minutes of meeting him, so there was some room for debate on whether Drakken's failure to remember Ron was actually genuine. Though this generally annoyed Ron, he would eagerly and happily reintroduce himself when given the slightest opportunity. Drakken did at least recognize Ron on sight, and habitually referred to him as "the buffoon". Ron did eventually force Drakken to recall his name, but only the one time. During the Lowardian Invasion, the two worked together and Ron allowed Drakken to ride on his back as they flew through the Lowardian Mothership, though Ron complained about it. Drakken missed Ron saving the world with his Mystical Monkey Power which Shego commented that "you had to be there" rather than explaining to Drakken.

#### Shego

*Main article: Shego*
As one of Kim's most frequently fought adversaries, Shego regularly ran into Ron, but considered him little more than a momentary distraction, or just as often, someone she generally captured with little effort. While Ron was clearly afraid of Shego and the harm she could potentially inflict on him, they still managed to joke around each other, sometimes even as she was attempting to hurt him. Ron considered Shego to be very attractive, and once even told her, "You know, in this light, you're kinda cute". Eventually, however, Ron dissuade himself of thinking Shego as attractive due to all the times she tried to hurt him and Kim. However, Ron earned Shego's respect and even fear at certain points such as when he was Evil Ron or in The Future when Ron's anger over the Supreme One's destruction of Bueno Nacho made Shego actually show fear for a moment for the first time in the confrontation. After Ron saved the world using his Mystical Monkey Power, Shego was shocked and impressed, commenting that the sidekick had "stepped up Monkey Style."

## Paraphernalia

### Clothes

R

on typically wore the same outfit on a daily basis which consisted of a long-sleeve navy blue mock-turtleneck shirt under a short-sleeved red jersey, light brown cargo pants, and white sneakers.

During missions he wore a standard mission outfit of a black three-quarter sleeve mock-turtleneck shirt, grey cargo pants, brown utility belt, black or dark grey gloves, and black or dark grey sneakers.

Ron wore boxer shorts under all of his outfits.

Ron's own personal style of clothing briefly became a fashion trend just after Kim's own look had become popular then rapidly faded. Like the KimStyle, the RonStyle was donned by men, women, and even pets, Rufus included. However, while KimStyle was her mission wear, RonStyle was his everyday apparel.

Ron's overall look has repeatedly been considered as lacking in fashion sense both by his peers and those highly respected in the world of fashion. He once had an encounter with the Fashion Police Officers Twill & Tweed. According to them, his sports jersey was a serious violation, but gave him half credit for having a pocket pet, which for that season were both in and hot.

Ron has changed his look various times in attempts to become more popular, and while he enjoyed some brief successes they never lasted very long, so he always returned to his original style.

Of course Ron also has situational clothes such as cold weather gear on cold missions, his Middleton Mad Dog outfit while he was the mascot, and his football uniform during football games, to name a few examples.

Ron tends to lose his pants or even get unwittingly stripped down to his boxer shorts in some comical way, in when not doing anything to warrant the result. In his Junior year he stated it occured so often he was no longer embarrassed when it happened, yet later admitted it perturbed him that it was still happening even in their Senior year.

For their "half-iversary", six months dating, Kim gave Ron a titanium-reinforced belt as a present. On a mission shortly following, Kim lost her memory. When partially restored, she remembered nearly everything except for her and Ron as dating, which did not return until she witnessed his pants fall down after removing the belt, which caused her to have a flashback of exactly why she had bought him the belt in the first place.

Ron once went to school naked while thinking it was a bad dream, but Kim reminded him it was all-too real, it had really happened.

During the Lowardian Invasion, Ron wore a space suit with rocket jets on the back. He chose to wear this suit to his graduation ceremony in order to fly onto the stage rather than using the usual graduation gown.

### Equipment

* **Super Cycle:** In Bad Boy, Ron upgraded his old tricycle to a giant motorcycle vehicle, which he used to literally crash the wedding rehearsal. Ron then use a remote to transform his vehicle into a Plasma Catapult to attack his cousin Shaun.
* **Utility Belt:** When Ron first turned evil and became Zorpox, he found a belt that originally belonged to Drakken and assume he probably had no idea how to use it. It can generate an force-field/shield made of energy that is strong enough to withstand and deflect Shego's energy blast. Ron then presses a button on his belt that opens up a shark tank behind where Shego is standing and asks her if she knows that sidekicks need to know their place (this is also the only time Shego shows fear). It unknow what happen to the belt but it assuming by many fans that Ron gave this belt to Wade and it was one of the functions of Kim's battlesuit, but with a different force-field.
* **Attitudinator**: After being turned good again, Ron displayed some ability of Drakken's intelligence to repair the Attitudinator and turn his cousin Shaun good.
* **Anti-Anti-Matter Bubble**: In Mathter and Fervent, Mr. Possile made an anti-anti-matter bubble because he was tuned into an anti-matter being by the Mather.
