Numbuh 30 Celsius, or Numbuh 30C for short, is the 2x4 Technology Officer from Sector H that pretended to be an Arctic operative to sabotage Sector V and protect Professor XXXL.

Appearance

Numbuh 30C was initially seen wearing a heavy coat, goggles and scarf that conceal his entire body. Later, 30C was revealed to wear a Hawaiian attire, with a tropical shirt and a classic Hawaiian garland.

Personality

Numbuh 30C appeared a little cold and more of a leader type in his first meet with Sector V. He claimed to have wrestled polar bears and eaten nothing but fish blubber, which were all lies to maintain his false persona as an Arctic operative. He also appeared to take a liking to Numbuh 3, whom he called cute while alone with Numbuh 4. Numbuh 30C did not have any problem betraying his fellow KND operatives to ensure that Professor XXXL's research could continue, and proved to be a capable fighter against Numbuh 4.

At the Kids Next Door 2x4 Technology Convention the following year, he appeared a lot more laid back and relaxed with his own sector. He also changed to address authority figures by description, rather than codename; calling Numbuh 2x4 instead "science dude".

Biography

Joining the Kids Next Door

Numbuh 30C was recruited into the Cadets Next Door and received training at the Kids Next Door Arctic Base before he graduated into the Kids Next Door. He chose his codename at the graduation ceremony at the Kids Next Door Moonbase and got assigned to Sector H.

Betraying the Kids Next Door

At some point prior to the Kids Next Door discovering Professor Bob's evil plan of creating a weather control device to stop all school snow days, Numbuh 30C learned of Professor XXXL's secret plan of creating the perfect snowcone. Once the KND Satellites picked up on Professor Bob near the North Pole and Sector V were sent to stop him, Numbuh 30C volunteered to assist them. He disguised himself as an arctic operative and joined them aboard the S.N.O.W.S.U.B. on their way north. He secretly worked against Sector V from the moment they came upon Professor XXXL's laboratory; ignoring their pleas for help, shooting the Nude Torpedo at them and fighting Numbuh 4 to prevent him from rescuing them. Numbuh 30C was unable to prevent Numbuh 4 from activating code "whale" and capture Professor XXXL's robotic laboratory within the S.N.O.W.S.U.B., so he took control over the weapons system afterwards.

Revealing his betrayal

He announced his betrayal on the big screen for Sector V to see and got ambushed by a newly freed Numbuh 4, whom he had tied up moments earlier. The two fought in the control room and ended up activating the S.N.O.W.S.U.B.'s self-destruct button. Numbuh 4 attacked him again seconds after the explosion and Numbuh 30c gave in by revealing the reason behind his betrayal; snowcones. Professor XXXL proceeded to tell the kids of his actual plan to create the perfect snowcone, and mentioned that Professor Bob (the one the Kids Next Door were actually after) had his own laboratory over the hill from Professor XXXL (Operation: A.R.C.T.I.C.). Numbuh 30C did not receive any punishment by the Kids Next Door for his actions, due to the whole event being a misunderstanding.

2x4 Technology Convention

Sector H's convention booth

Numbuh 30C brought two teammates of his from Sector H to the annual Kids Next Door 2x4 Technology Convention, where they presented his new invention: the "Summerball Maker". He recorded himself throwing snowballs at his teammate and demonstrated how to use his new machine. The convention judges were not impressed with his invention, remarking how they had seen similar inventions before. Numbuh 30C was not able to let this go and threw a snowball at the back of Numbuh 2x4's head as the judges were walking away (Operation: S.C.I.E.N.C.E.).

Trivia

• Numbuh 30C's codename is addressed to be 30 degrees Celsius, the equivalent to about 80 degrees Fahrenheit, which was an indication to his real tropic nature.
  • This was not initially planned by Mr. Warburton, but discovered during the storyboard pitch and then incorporated into the story.
• Numbuh 30C very closely resembles Kenny from "Kenny and the Chimp", although his face is not seen even without his extra clothing. This is reinforced by his association with Professor XXXL and both characters being voiced by Tom Kenny. It very likely they are the same guy.
• He is the first operative outside of Sector V to be shown in the series.
• He is also the first KND Operative whose code name breaks away from the normal number sequence, adding the letter C to it.
