[edit] About Wade
Wade, at the beginning, is a 10-year-old child genius who runs Kim Possible's website, supplies her with her gadgets, and gives Kim her missions through her Kimmunicator. As a genius, he has completed his high school and college education in eight months. He spends his time in his room, in front of the computer, with the lights off. He also seems to drink a lot of soda, since he's often seen slurping one down when communicating with Kim. In Season 4, he actually leaves his room to deliver gear in person like Q in the James Bond series.
It is never explained how Kim and Ron ever met Wade but it may be explained in a future episode.
[edit] Common Information
Wade practically never leaves his room, saying he hates the outdoors, and usually interacts with Kim and Ron through the Kimmunicator, which he designed, and various other technical wizardry such as a hologram, inside a virtual reality world, a robot called the "Wadebot" (has been seen in Blush and Overdue) and even through a garden gnome in Ron's garage by creating a specially tuned resonance effect. Kim and Ron have only twice managed to meet him face to face before season 4: once when he left his room to get revenge upon Team Impossible for destroying his entire computer system with a spike, and a second meeting was in an alternate future (A Sitch in Time) when he served as leader of the resistance movement (although technically this may have been reversed once the time line was altered to prevent that dystopian future from occurring). However a hologram appearance, seen in Monkey Fist Strikes and an appearance in a game (Virtu-Ron) to save Ron and his then-girlfriend Zita Flores in Season 2 may also count as personal appearances.
Wade makes more personal appearances in Season 4, visiting Kim and Ron to give them more updated gadgets. During the episode, The Cupid Effect, Wade developed a boyhood crush on Monique, to which she was not fond of. In response, Wade built a Love Ray and caused Monique to fall madly in love with him. But soon Wade found that his invention did more harm then intended and destroyed it. In the end he listens to Monique's rant but then she says she was flattered by the attention. After which, he met Olivia, a young girl genius more close to his age who also invented a Love Ray, much to his dismay -- and Ron's worry that Kim may have had a similar one.
It would appear that Wade is quite short--though this is probably to be expected of a 10-year old. However in Season 4, Wade, now 12, remains the same height. In A Sitch in Time, the adult Wade is a muscular giant.
However in that episode he admits that he had a growth spurt so as he gets older he may become the Wade seen in that episode.
[edit] Family
Wade's mother appears to be African-American. Only his mom (unnamed) has appeared on the show, but his dad is clearly mentioned as being around. They both seem unconcerned with their son's way of spending all his time, and his mother seems to really enjoy Wade's inventions and cleverness. He supposedly also has a great grand-uncle, who appeared in Rewriting History and was a photographer 100 years ago, though he may or may not had such a job due to the episode being a dream sequence.
In Season 4, it's mentioned that Wade's father (named "Lontaine") is often absent, and that his wife resents him for it. However the flowers he supposedly sent her for Valentine's Day (it was actually the Seniors in order to gain access to Wade's computer) may have eased the tension between them. (The Cupid Effect)
[edit] Residence
Wade's home location has never been explicitly stated, but it has been generally proven that he lives somewhere in Middleton. In So the Drama he was seen being attacked by one of the cybertronic Lil' Diablo toys, which at that point had only become active within Middleton. Also, in the episode The Twin Factor, Wade received the photos that were only e-mailed out to Middleton by the tweebs.
The living room and outside of his house was seen for the first time in The Cupid Effect, Season 4.
Wade is voiced by Tahj Mowry, who played a young genius on the sitcom Smart Guy. In A Sitch in Time, his future self is voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan.
