Doctor Possible
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Timothy Possible is a fictional character from Disney's animated television series Kim Possible.
[edit] About James Timothy Possible
Kim's dad is a rocket scientist. A very typical 50's professor type, he's somewhat obtuse and more than a bit absent-minded. Like Kim, he likes to play off his name with the motto "Anything's possible for a Possible", although he sometimes becomes overly arrogant with his motto. He was also once Drew Lipsky's friend. This was before Drew became Doctor Drakken.
James has consistently expressed a strong distrust of "show folk," including celebrities and circus people. He also doesn't particularly seem concerned about his daughter risking her life on a daily basis fighting evil-doers, as long as she isn't out dating boys, which is a major obsession of his. He has, however, allowed Kim to spend time with her friend Ron Stoppable, as there were no romantic feelings between the two. With the advent of season 4, this dynamic may change, however.
James Possible's job is possibly a pun on the phrase, "It's not rocket science!"
Dr. James Possible is voiced by Gary Cole.
[edit] Full Name
James is the third person on the show whose full name has been used (Kimberly Ann Possible being the first, Dr. Vivian Francis Porter being the second). A joke about the fact that his name remained a mystery throughout most of the series was made in Team Impossible. His full name (Dr. James Timothy Possible) was revealed in Kim Possible: So the Drama. A clue as to Dr. Possible's full name existed from the start of the series through the names of Kim's little brothers, the "tweebs", Jim and Tim. "James T. Possible" may also be a subtle reference to "James T. Kirk". Surprisingly, his wife's full name remains unknown.
