[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. While reminiscing about freeing a hamster from the labs in his alma mater (and equiping it with robotic battle armor), he said that he also "hated those Psychology students."
He 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, no qualms about Kim spending time with her best friend Ron Stoppable, as there were no romantic feelings between the two. (Although he once shows a weariness at having to include Ron in most every family dinner.) With the advent of season 4, however, this dynamic will not change, since creators Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle officially stated that Kim's dad will be "unconcerned about Kim and Ron's relationship". It may be that, having known him since Kim's preschool days, Dr. Possible feels that Ron is the only boy with whom he can trust his precious "Kimmy Cub," as he calls her.
James Possible's job is possibly a pun on the phrase, "It's not rocket science!" In the episode Team Impossible, he attempted to gain the help of an accountant in doing his income taxes by saying, "I'm not a rocket scientist! Oh, wait...yes I am..."
Dr. James Possible is voiced by Gary Cole.
[edit] Full Name
James is the fourth person on the show whose full name has been used (Kimberly Ann Possible being the first, Dr. Vivian Frances Porter being the second, & Drew Theodore P. Lipsky "Dr. Drakken" being the third). 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. His nickname for his first and middle name is "Jim Tim Possible". "James T. Possible" may also be a subtle reference to "James T. Kirk". Surprisingly, his wife's full name remains unrevealed.
