Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] History

As revealed during the opening sequence of Operation: Z.E.R.O., Grandfather was once the supreme evil power in the world and he enslaved the world's children and forced them to work in factories making tapioca pudding. One day, his two sons accidentally came across the Book of KND hidden in a secret room beneath an old tree.

With the book and the hope it created, the oldest son became Numbuh Zero and led the kids in an revolt against Grandfather. Using 2x4 technology, Numbuh Zero destroyed Grandfather's factories and erased his memories. Rendering his a powerless.

After the battle, Grandfather was reduced to a harmless old man and languished in a retirement home for an unknown number of years before his memories were returned to him by his youngest son (Now the villain Father), who used the KND recommissioning module on him in the hope that Grandfather would further his plans to rule the world. With his memories and powers returned to him, Grandfather turns on Father, pouring scorn on him for being weak, and announcing that he will take over the world himself by turning everybody who had ever been a kid into a Senior-Citizombie. Grandfather then turns the franchise's adults and teen villains into Senior-Citizombie minions and sends them out to transform the rest of the world.

Grandfather was finally defeated when he was lure into the KND Moonbase's Decommissioning Chamber where his memories were erased for a second time. Causing him to revert to his prior harmless form.

During the course of events, it is revealed that Nigel Uno's Father. Montgomery Uno is the legendary Numbuh Zero, whom defeated Grandfather the first time. Thus making Father (real name Benedict Uno) Nigel's uncle, and Grandfather Nigel's actual Grandfather.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Powers

Grandfather is a powerful reality warper with the ability to fly, and to launch energy beam attacks.

His signature move is to turn people into senior-citizombies: Rapidly aged, slave-like versions of their former selves who also possess the power to turn others into senior-citizombies, and to transform his surrounding to match his idea of how the world should be by changing buildings into tapioca factories, and restyling modern fixtures and fittings to their old-style equivalents.

Grandfather is almost impervious harm, as evidenced when he survived a direct hit from the KND Moonbase when it fell to Earth without suffering any noticeable damage.
