[edit] Nana Possible
Kim's Nana is the mother of Kim's dad and is almost as skilled as Kim. She helped Shaolin Monks perfect "Lang Chang Yong Kung Fu", became a top aviatrix, and was the first woman to finish the Navy's Basic Underwater Demolition Course (BUDS, also known as the Navy SEAL's training program).
In her first appearance, she was wildly over protective of Kim, almost to the point of smothering and was actively against her teen hero lifestyle, regarding it as just a phase. At first, Kim felt that this was because her grandmother was behind the times and didn't understand her. It wasn't until Drakken pitted them against each other through a mind control signal in the hearing aids of all Miami's senior citizens that Kim learned the truth. It then became apparent that Nana's objections came from the fact that she knows how dangerous such a lifestyle is and even grandparents would like something better for their children. But it wasn't until Nana could see that Kim was more than capable of holding her own that she generally became more accepting, even helping out Kim in the episode "A Very Possible Christmas" when Kim went searching for Ron, who was stranded at the North Pole with Drakken.

[edit] Cousin Larry
Larry is Kim's cousin. He's also friends with Ron. Although his last name has never been given, it is assumed that his mother, June, is James Possible's sister.
Larry comes off as pretty much the stereotypical nerd. From sci fi conventions to cosplay to online discussion groups to video games, Larry does it all. He even participates with others of his kind in an underground robot fighting club. Kim has pretty much disliked Larry since they were three years old, mostly because she doesn't share his interests (a fact Larry doesn't seem to pick up on). Ron however, shares a lot of Larry's interests and therefore, gets along with him quite well. In fact, it was Larry's advice that ultimately led to Ron acquiring his Mystical Monkey power.

[edit] Jocelyn (Joss) Possible
Joss is Kim's cousin and the daughter of "Slim" Possible. She looks up to Kim and, recently, Ron as well. Only appeared in one episode, in which Dr. Drakken, turned a group of leading scientists into idiots with his "silly hats."
For a time, Kim's exploits were a source of obsession for Joss. And while Kim found it flattering at first to have a family member as a fan, the novelty quickly began to wear thin. However, Joss' obesssion with Kim was more out of the fact that she wasn't too happy with the way her life was going and she thought if she could be more like Kim, who she admired, she would start to like herself more. It wasn't until the family actually went into battle against Drakken that Joss realized how hard it was to be like her cousin. She ultimately ended up saving Ron from Shego by deactivating her father's robot horse, "Ol' Tornado". But ironically, after seeing Ron in action, she began to find herself a new hero in him. Even though Ron has plenty of fear to go around (although it has been shown through out the show that he has his own unique range of special abilities that make him thrive in world saving situations, skills that Kim doesn't have and even shows to horrible at), this fear has never stopped him from helping Kim. This began to show Joss how a person can succeed when being herself and that she didn't have to transform herself into someone else to be better.
Joss was later seen in So the Drama. When Eric arrived at Kim's home, he looked at pictures at the wall and Joss was on one of them.

[edit] "Slim" Possible
James' older brother and the owner of the "Lazy C" Ranch. He calls James "Squirt", much to the amusement of Jim and Tim. He once helped Kim stop Drakken from attempting to turn the worlds greatest scientists into idiots to make himself look smarter.
A true Possible in every way, "Slim" is himself, an accomplished inventor. His most notable achievements are a stable of robot horses (the most vicious of which is one he's named "Ol' Tornado") as well as a satellite monitoring system that allows him to keep a watchful eye on not only the Lazy C, but also all the other ranches in the area. Still, ever a humble man, he admits that while, "I'm not bad on the cuttin' edge tech myself," he'll be the first to acknowledge his little brother as the true genius in the family.
[edit] Honorable Mention: Ron Stoppable
Some would say that Ron gets enough credit just from being a main character on the show. However, considering that he accompanies Kim on all family trips and the fact that he celebrates Christmas with the Possible family in spite of the fact that he is Jewish, the argument could be made that the Possibles have more or less accepted Ron as an "unofficial" member of the family.
[edit] Stoppable Family
[edit] Shawn
"Shawny" is Ron's evil 7-year-old cousin. Ever a troublemaker, he's apparently been a constant source of torment for Ron at family functions (Ron still hasn't forgotten the time Shawn poured gravy down his pants). He also owns a pet lizard who apparently has made numerous attempts to eat Rufus. Unfortunately, since Shawn is still a little kid, Ron's complaints at his behavior have gone pretty much ignored. Ron wasn't able to ditch him until Kim agreed to be Ron's date at his cousin Reuben's wedding, thus sparing Ron from having to sit at the infamous "Kid's Table". Ron used the Attitudinator to make Shawn less annoying. Although Shawn's last name is never given, most fans expect that it's "Stoppable".

[edit] Other Family Members
[edit] Mrs. Load
Wade's mom is seen on the show a few times. Her most notable appearance was in the episode "Mothers' Day", when Wade treated her to a celebration in his room, complete with takeout French cuisine and even a holographic beach ("No wonder this boy never leaves his room," she noted). She's mentioned her husband, but he's never been seen. It is unknown if she'll be seen in season 4.
