Doctor Drakken

Doctor Drakken is a fictional character in Disney's animated television series Kim Possible.

Kim Possible's arch-nemesis and most frequent foe, Doctor Drakken is a mad scientist obsessed with world domination. His real name is Drew Theodore P. Lipsky (not to be confused with real-life radio psychologist Dr. Drew Pinsky), and he isn't a real doctor (he actually dropped out of college, which may explain why his inventions hardly ever work).

His catchphrase is "Kim Possible, You think you're all that, but you're not!"

Drakken is voiced by John DiMaggio, who also does additional voices.

Personality

A lifetime of anger and bitterness has left him with blue skin. Like Ron, Drakken's been an outcast most of his life, and is constantly trying to prove himself (albeit in a much more malevolent manner). Also like Ron, Drakken often comes across as clumsy and lacking common sense. Drakken and Ron have similar personalities and often act and speak similarly, but while Ron is fairly witty, Drakken is normally oblivious to the absurdity of situations and is more of a straight man.

Drakken promotes his new brainwashing shampoo.

Drakken usually comes up with grandiose, overly-complicated plans, typically involving such wacky 80's villain staples as killer robots, mind control, and death rays. He also tends to steal his Evil Inventions, because the stuff he invents himself usually either malfunctions or tries to kill him (when Ron and Shego comment on this behavior, he angrily refers to it as "outsourcing.") Like many supervillains, Drakken frequently fails to pay attention to minor details, and on several occasions he's been foiled by his own poor planning rather than by Kim herself. Drakken is also one of a few baddies who fights Kim one-on-one, evidenced that when he assembles the ultimate robot warrior for him to control.

His main plans tended to become less and less grandiose as the series progressed, and he has tried to take over the world with such unorthodox weapons as giant dinosaurs, doomsday Humvees, mosquitos, and rap music.

Drakken was originally Dr. Possible's best friend, but turned evil in college after constant teasing from Dr. Possible, Professor Chen and Professor Ramesh. He also has an embarrassing, overbearing mother who, confusing him with a radio self-help doctor with a similar name, believes he helps people with their emotional issues rather than trying to conquer the world.

Hopefully, before the series ends, Drakken will find peace with the world, and call off his agenda with Kim Possible.

Shego

Shego is Drakken's evil "sidekick", though she does most of the work. She is hostile towards her employer, but is one of the few villains to show compassion for others. Shego has supernatural powers, being able to fire green plasma blasts from her hands.

In an alternate future, Shego was the only villain to take over the world, and enslaved Drakken to fight Kim Possible. She also genetically modified Drakken to grant him super-strength.

Mama Lipsky

Drakken's mother has been on the show a few times. She doesn't know that he's a mad scientist and thinks Drakken is running a self-help radio talkshow (with obvious obvious reference to radio psychologist Dr. Drew Pinsky).

Mama Lipsky is voiced by Estelle Harris.

Motor Ed

Motor Ed is Drakken's mullet-headed cousin. Only appeared in the show twice, both also starring the wheelchair-bound Felix Renton. In his final appearance Drakken and Motor Ed team up and build the Doomvee, a vicious automobile, using technology from Felix's futuristic wheelchair.

Commodore Puddles

Drakken's dog has made two appearances. However, they are inconsistent. In Kimitation Nation, Puddles is white and violent. In Rufus vs. Commodore Puddles, he's pink and slightly nicer. Shego also implies that Drakken never had a dog before then. It is unknown if Puddles will ever make a reappearance.
