Main article: List of Kim Possible characters

Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible (voiced by Christy Carlson Romano):[10] a confident, adventurous, and popular high school student who moonlights as a crime-fighter, dividing much of her time between saving the world and attending cheerleading practice.[8] Although protecting the world comes to her quite naturally, Kim actually finds growing up as a teenager much more challenging, struggling with everyday personal issues that range from schoolwork to bullying, embarrassment, relationships,[7] and self-doubt, continuing to become flustered around boys she likes despite her own good looks, multiple talents, and heroics.[8][10][20] A straight-A student,[21] Kim is also a perfectionist.[7] Kim's catchphrases include "No big",[22] "So not the drama", and "What's the sitch?",[23] short for "situation".[24] Combined, her first and last names are a pun of the word "impossible".[18]

Ronald "Ron" Stoppable (voiced by Will Friedle): Kim's sidekick; her childhood best friend (and boyfriend as of season four) who,[16] unlike Kim, is cowardly,[25] socially awkward, clumsy and unpopular with his peers.[10][21] Although Ron is far less competent within the realm of crime-fighting than Kim, he has proven his merit as a teammate on multiple occasions by gradually maturing and gaining confidence over the course of the series. He is regarded by other characters as a crucial component to Kim's unusually high success rate in crime-fighting and is highly talented in cooking. [10] Known for his catchphrase "Booyah",[26] Ron suffers from a severe fear of monkeys and serves as the show's comic relief.[7][10][16] His first and last names are a pun of the word "unstoppable".[18]

Rufus (voiced by Nancy Cartwright): Ron's pet naked mole rat who accompanies Kim and Ron on their missions, traveling in his owner's pocket.[24]

Wade Load (voiced by Tahj Mowry):[11] a 10-year-old computer genius who informs Kim and Ron about upcoming missions from his bedroom,[10] remotely assisting, guiding and equipping them with useful tools, weapons and gadgets, including Kim's Kimmunicator, via which he communicates and provides his teammates with vital information.[13] Wade is also responsible for maintaining Kim's website.[8]

Dr. Drakken (voiced by John DiMaggio): born Drew Theodore P. Lipsky,[16] Drakken is Kim's archnemesis and most resilient adversary.[10] He is a mad scientist plotting world domination,[11] although most of his schemes fail at the hands of Kim because he lacks both the patience and intelligence to perfect his ideas,[16] which often suffer as a result of his own mistakes and oversights.[27] His skin has permanently been turned blue as a result of a laboratory accident.[10] Additionally, Drakken is a former college roommate of Kim's father James.[28]

Shego (voiced by Nicole Sullivan): Kim's primary combatant and most dangerous opponent;[10] a supervillain with the superhuman ability to generate powerful green energy blasts from her hands. Shego is Drakken's sarcastic – but far more intelligent – sidekick, who openly mocks the scientist with little regard for his seniority.[7] The character finds herself making up for Drakken's incompetence on multiple occasions.[11] Originally the lone female member of a team of superheroes known as Team Go alongside her four brothers, Shego eventually makes a full conversion to villainy after ultimately growing attracted to the evil she once fought against (in addition to finding her brothers annoying).[10] Smart, athletic, and attractive, Shego is essentially a "dark reflection" of Kim,[16] as well as the only character the heroine truly has reason to fear, although the two archrivals share a mutal respect for each other at the same time.[27][11]

Some episodes revolve around characters other than Kim and Ron, particularly villains, who have been provided with nearly as much back story as the heroes.[15] Other significant recurring characters include Kim's parents, Drs. James and Ann Possible (Gary Cole and Jean Smart, respectively), and her younger brothers, twin geniuses Jim and Tim (Shaun Fleming, seasons 1–3; Spencer Fox, season 4), to whom she refers as "Tweebs" (a portmanteau of "twin" and "dweebs"); the twins speak their own made up language known as "Twinnish".[10] Kim shares a bitter rivalry with fellow cheerleader Bonnie Rockwaller (Kirsten Storms), who, unlike Kim, is selfish, inconsiderate, superficial, and has a tendency to be mean when angry – her "polar opposite",[16] essentially representing the kind of person Kim could have been if not for her humility.[18] Kim's best female friend is Monique (Raven-Symoné), who is occasionally into accompanying Kim on select missions when Ron is unavailable. With her fashion and pop culture expertise, Monique bridges the worlds between Kim's high school and crime-fighting lives,[10] also serving as something of a guidance counselor.[16] Although Drakken and Shego are Kim and Ron's most frequent opponents, the characters occasionally battle a diverse cast of other villains, namely Monkey Fist (Tom Kane), who Ron particularly dislikes due to his fear of monkeys;[21] Scottish golfer Duff Killigan; father-son billionaires Señor Senior, Sr. and Señor Senior, Jr, who treat villainy as a hobby out of boredom,[21] and Professor Dementor (Patton Oswalt).[29]
