- "Aww, geez! It's the Toiletnator!"
– Mr. Boss
Mr. Boss is a corrupt, child-hating, corporate executive who is the archenemy of Sector V and leader of their standard rogue gallery. He is the tertiary antagonist of the series.
Appearance[]
He is very physically large, has a bald head, a mustache, an over sized cigar in his mouth, and a hunched back. He typically wears a blue suit, light and dark gray tie and brown shoes.
Personality[]
Mr. Boss is a greedy, corrupt businessman and CEO who hates children and loves money and adults running things (especially profitable ones). He is also very cunning and obnoxious as he prefers to have smart and very competent allies to accompany him in his plans as; he disapproves of Toiletnator's help because of how gullible and reckless he is. Mr. Boss has a huge dislike towards Sector V (especially Numbuh's 1 and 3) for ruining most of his evil plans of making children's lives miserable and destroying the KND.
Despite his vituperative, child-hating nature, Mr. Boss loves his own children very much and doesn't mind if they are in the Kids Next Door. He shows concern if his children are endangered and will do anything to protect them and he even shows remorse if he goes too far with his greed when he realises his actions have emotionally hurt his children. This shows that Mr. Boss has an emotional side for his family (especially his children). Mr. Boss also has strong dislike for the Toiletnator, which is why he says, “Oh geez!! It’s the Toiletnator,” but in Operation: M.I.S.S.I.O.N, he was nice to the Toiletnator when he told Mr. Boss, Soccer Mom, Count Spankulot, and Stickybeard to bowl when Numbuh 1, 2, 3, and 5 arrived.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Mr. Boss was born and raised in the United States, and moved to Ireland around the time he met Mrs. Fulbright. Together they had three kids: Fanny, Paddy and Shaunie. Shortly after the birth of their second son, the family moved back to the United States where Mr. Boss became the boss at Werk Co..[1]
Fighting the Kids Next Door[]
In Operation: D.A.D.D.Y., Numbuh 1 describes Mr. Boss as his sector's arch-nemesis. He is also considered second-in-command on the hierarchy of villainous adults after Father.
Mr. Boss first appeared in Operation: O.F.F.I.C.E., in which he attempts to send all his employee's daughters, including Numbuh 3, to Pluto so that his workers wouldn't have any children to go home to and could spend more time serving him. His plans are foiled by Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4, who fortunately had been brought to work by his father despite it being "Bring your daughter to work day".
Mr. Boss is often the holder for mass gatherings of villains, such as those in Operation: M.O.V.I.E. and Operation: F.L.U.S.H., where he and his guests attempt to formulate plans to destroy the Kids Next Door.
Another major plan of his was stealing the Rainbow Monkey Lisa, and attempting to eat it in Operation: M.A.C.A.R.R.O.N.I. His plan was stopped by Numbuh 13, who did so by destroying the macaroni painting, creating the same end result of the painting's loss.
In Operation: D.A.D.D.Y., it is revealed that Mr. Boss is the father of Numbuh 86, as well as her two brothers Patrick and Shaunie Fulbright. He insists on giving his kids haircuts himself rather than paying to get their hair cut by a professional (with disastrous results). He and his daughter apparently did not know of each others agenda's at all prior to this incident. Mr. Boss at first tried to deny his villainous nature to his daughter until Numbuh 1 reminded him of his plan to send his employees' daughters to Pluto. His response was, "Not my daughter, I love my kids! It's everyone else's I hate." However Boss allowed his kids to remain KND agents rather than see them cry, as long as he could continue fighting them with his friends. He was at the Convention Center in Operation: Z.E.R.O. and a participant in the scavenger hunt in Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S..
