Jimmy Neutron
Voiced by: Debi Derryberry
Jimmy Neutron is a highly intelligent boy who uses scientific knowledge and inventions to solve issues, most of which he causes himself. He is 10 years old in the first season, 11 in the second season, and 12 in the third and final season. He is the son of Judy and Hugh Neutron. His best friends are Sheen Estevez, Carl Wheezer, and his robot dog Goddard. He and Cindy Vortex have a dislike for each other, although it is implied in some episodes that they secretly like each other. Jimmy is usually seen wearing a red shirt with his trademark atom symbol on it, blue jeans, and white shoes, sometimes blue shorts and brown shoes. He has blue eyes and brown hair that is considered "anti-gravity" and is in a whipped-up form, earning him many nicknames from classmates (especially Cindy), such as "Whippy-Dip" from his clone Evil Jimmy, and "Señor Fudge-Head" (from Cosmo in The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour). In addition to his parents, several of his other relatives have also appeared on the show.
Sheen Estevez
Voiced by: Jeffrey Garcia
Sheen Estevez is Jimmy's slightly older, hyperactive, addled best friend, characterized by his unhealthy obsession with the fictional superhero "UltraLord" and the television series, video games, and merchandising inspired by the character. Sheen, who wears an UltraLord T-shirt, has amassed a collection of UltraLord memorabilia and also created a website dedicated to the superhero. Sheen lives with his father and grandmother. Sheen's father makes a brief appearance in season one, although his face is not shown.
Sheen is noted for his extreme, constant bouts of hyperactivity, which he demonstrates multiple times per episode, along with his misdirected intelligence and short attention span, to the annoyance of his peers. Alongside UltraLord, Sheen also appears to be interested in superheroes in general and in typical masculine subjects such as wrestling, and is strongly infatuated with Libby Folfax, becoming her boyfriend by the time of the program's conclusion.
Sheen would later star in his own spin-off show, Planet Sheen, which premiered in 2010. In this series, he goes into Jimmy's lab and steals his new rocket ship, which crash lands on the planet Zeenu. Due to the series being short-lived, he is never shown returning to Earth. However, in "The Tomorrow Boys", a 2005 episode of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius that involves time travel, Sheen is shown to be living on Earth in the future.
Sheen's full name is a pun on the last names of both stage name and real names of father-son actors Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen, and Emilio Estevez.
Carl Wheezer
Voiced by: Rob Paulsen
Carl Wheezer is a bespectacled boy and one of Jimmy's best friends. Carl and his parents have numerous allergies, at times even to things that are incapable of triggering allergic reactions. He passionately loves llamas, and his passion for them is often used as a running gag throughout the series. He is also a bit cowardly and developed a crush on Jimmy's mom. An extraterrestrial character named Doppy, with similarities to Carl, is a main character in Planet Sheen.
Cindy Vortex
Voiced by: Carolyn Lawrence
Cindy is a 10-year-old blonde-haired girl with green eyes. She wears a fading-green shirt with stripes and wears her hair in a pony tail with her trademark bangs. In her debut, she wore a pink shirt with black jeans and pink sneakers and wore her hair in pigtails. She is very good at tai-chi. Her close friend is Libby. She has a dog named Humphrey, who is seen in many episodes, usually accompanying her. She is Jimmy Neutron's rival but in the 2006 episode, "Lady Sings the News", Jimmy and Cindy officially start dating, which was predicted in earlier episodes like "Win Lose and Kaboom!". In "The Tomorrow Boys", Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl traveled to the future, where future Jimmy revealed he and Cindy were married. It is unclear whether this is the true future since the gang changed the past by the end of the episode. In The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour trilogy, Cindy has a relationship with Timmy Turner.
Cindy's mother, who was born in France and loves French food, has high standards for Cindy and expects her to follow in her footsteps. Her mother is an accountant. Cindy's father makes an appearance in the episode "Make Room for Daddy-O."
Libby Folfax
Voiced by: Crystal Scales
Libby Folfax is Cindy's sassy, wealthy close friend for whom Sheen has been shown to possess an infatuation. She is African American and has black hair that is always styled accordingly. Early in the series, Libby dislikes Jimmy and his friends and often sides with Cindy, but as the series continued, both Libby and Cindy become more attached to Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen. Libby later became Sheen's girlfriend, much to his glee. In one episode, Libby mentions that her ancestor was the fictional Queen Hasabataslapya ("how's about I slap ya?") of Egypt, who died at a young age. During the episode, Libby was forced to masquerade as the queen in order to distract a group of revived mummies (as the ancient portrait of the queen strongly resembles Libby). For the rest of the series, Libby kept her new hairstyle, and her wardrobe also changed. She adores popular music and dancing, and lusts for it as soon as it has been taken away from her for any reason.
Libby's father appears in the episodes "Make Room For Daddy-O", "Men At Work", and "Win Lose and Kaboom". He has also made cameo appearances in several episodes. Libby's mother (also voiced by Scales) appears in "Journey to the Center of Carl" and "The N-Men".
Goddard
Voiced by: Frank Welker
Goddard is Jimmy Neutron's robotic dog that Jimmy invented himself. He was named after the famous American engineer, Robert H. Goddard.
Hugh Neutron
Voiced by: Mark DeCarlo
Jimmy Neutron's father, Hugh Neutron is portrayed as a clueless, dimwitted, but good-natured, and fatherly person who frequently offers advice to Jimmy. Ducks are Hugh's favorite hobby; he enjoys collecting figurines of ducks and displaying them around the house. Hugh also loves the pies that are baked by his wife Judy. In one episode, Hugh invented a holiday called "Pule" (a combination of Pie and Yule) when Jimmy accidentally causes Christmas to be replaced by messing with Santa's atoms.
Judy Neutron
Voiced by: Megan Cavanagh
Judy Neutron, Jimmy's mother and Hugh's wife, is a housewife. She has auburn hair in a 1950s style hairdo and green eyes. She wears a green sleeveless dress with small pink polka-dots, along with a white pearl necklace, high-heel dress shoes, red lipstick, and has a mole on the left side of her face.
Recurring characters
Betty Quinlan
Voiced by Kath Soucie
Jimmy's first crush. She is nice to him, and has the unintentional ability to make him do things he normally would not do. Betty told Cindy that she is fully aware of Jimmy and Cindy's feelings for each other, and to "Just relax and keep out of my face. He's all yours".
Bolbi Stroganovsky
Voiced by Phil LaMarr
Also known as the "boy from fairy-tale land" or the "boy with the funny name", Bolbi is the strange resident exchange student from Backhairistan. He normally speaks broken English, but is shown to have a surprisingly good Shakespearean acting voice when auditioning for a play. He dresses in stereotypical Eastern European garb and has an accent of indeterminate origin, and joins Jimmy, Carl, Sheen, Cindy, and Libby to the game show in "Win, Lose, and Kaboom!" He states that "Super-Kabobby Man" is the most famous hero of Backhairistan. It is known that he has a blond sister who looks just like him in "Crouching Jimmy, Hidden Sheen." He has a musical pet goat named Yurri.
Miss Winfred Fowl
Voiced by Andrea Martin
The teacher for Jimmy and his friends, who frequently squawks like a chicken when speaking. In an episode of the first season, Jimmy inadvertently turned Miss Fowl into a giant plant monster after he revived a 64-million-year-old plant. Because of Jimmy, Fowl was later shrunk down to normal.
Nick Dean
Voiced by: Candi Milo
Nick Dean is the "cool" child at school who is often seen on a skateboard, doing dangerous tricks. He does not participate in his school's show and tell activities and sometimes arrives at school five minutes before dismissal. Nick is obsessed with styling his hair, and is considered very handsome by all girls in the school. He is of Brazilian American descent, and his mother speaks Portuguese and English. Nick sometimes breaks his leg while riding his skateboard; when he does so, he usually lets out a high pitched girl-like scream. Nick was originally going to be part of the regular group of characters, similar to his role in the film. He is one of the towns' wealthiest children, living in a 92-room mansion, with a bowling alley, maids' quarters, a screening room, and a soda parlor. He can also sing operatic German, and can style his hair without using his hands. In the movie, he was almost always seen with a purple lollipop in his mouth. He is very strong; in one episode, he was able to beat up Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen and throw them all into a dumpster. However, he can be a coward at times and even a wimp as in the movie when he confronted Poultra, he ran away screaming like a girl. He wore a sleeves jacket for the first half of the series then switched to a leather jacket.
Principal Willoughby
Voiced by Rob Paulsen
The flamboyant, Broadway-loving Principal at Lindbergh Elementary School. He is also somewhat overweight. He directed Macbeth in Space and was extremely giddy about it. He shows fierce anger when one of his shows are ruined. However, he is a truly good person, albeit forgetful at times. He is energetic and enthusiastic. He seems to genuinely care about his scholars, and has clearly taken the time to get to know each and every one. He has a sister named Eunice who looks like Albert Einstein, and comments on always getting them confused. He appears a handful of times.
Sam Melvick
Voiced by Billy West
The disgruntled and hot-tempered owner of the Candy Bar, an ice cream shop in Retroville where Jimmy and his friends often meet. He frequently says "Yeah!" at the end of his sentences.
UltraLord
Voiced by Jim Cummings
A superhero for whom Sheen has an unhealthy obsession and who stars in a TV series of the same name. His main enemy is Robo-Fiend (also voiced by Cummings). Sheen has the largest UltraLord action figure collection and is offended when other characters call them "Dolls". In the film, Sheen is tricked by Cindy into showing his school class a rare, never-to-be-seen condition Ultralord action figure when Cindy asks how Sheen knew it was in the condition box. Also in the film, Sheen meets an UltraLord impersonator at Retroland and gets an "Ultra-mask" from him. Sheen has been seen wearing the Ultra-Mask throughout the show.
Villains
Beautiful Gorgeous
Voiced by Wendie Malick
An evil villainess who is the daughter of Jimmy's enemy, Professor Calamitous. Her childhood dream was to become the person who "puts those little plastic things on the ends of shoelaces".

Buford Lee Stormshuckle
Voiced by Bill Farmer
The Southern American warden of a correctional facility who framed Jimmy for a bank heist. He never reveals why he framed Jimmy. He taunts Jimmy by pseudo-offering him a glass of ice cold lemonade. When Sheen and Carl unsuccessfully tried to free Jimmy, he arrested them too. However, Jimmy and his friends blinded him, allowing them to escape. Buford puts out a $10,000 reward for their capture. He was fired from his job and arrested after Jimmy proved to the police that he was the real bank robber. As punishment, Buford must clean up trash. After Jimmy taunts Buford, he vows to get revenge on Jimmy. Buford appears only in "Who Framed Jimmy Neutron?"
Dr. Sydney Orville Moist
Voiced by Jeff Bennett
A paranoid dance-crazy scientist who works in a secret underwater lair in the Bahama Quadrangle, making evil henchmen out of algae. He appears in the episode "The Evil Beneath" and collaborated with Professor Calamitous in "The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide" briefly before being betrayed and ejected.
Evil Jimmy
Evil Jimmy was one of several clones created by Jimmy to do his chores while he harvested moon rocks. The clones are frozen by Jimmy using ice crystals after they cause trouble, although Evil Jimmy escapes and later returns in "The Trouble with Clones", in which Jimmy attempts to convert him into a nice person to have him do chores. Evil Jimmy creates an evil clone of the Earth, causing the real Earth to disappear. The original Jimmy travels to the evil Earth and reverses the effects, with the cloned Earth and Evil Jimmy being sucked into the Dark Matter Dimension.

Voiced by Patrick Stewart (film); S. Scott Bullock (series)
The Yokian King who appears in the 2001 film and the episodes "The Eggpire Strikes Back" and "League of Villains".

Poultra
A chicken-like monstrosity whom the Yolkians worship as a goddess. She only appears in the original film and in the hour-long TV episode "The Eggpire Strikes Back".
Professor Crank
(Dan Castellaneta; appears in the episode Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion)
Professor Finbarr Calamitous
Voiced by Tim Curry
Ms. Fowl's former student and Beautiful Gorgeous's father. He is Jimmy's nemesis and the show's main antagonist. Professor Finbarr Calamitous was once a brilliant boy who could never finish anything, not even a sentence. The only thing he could finish was a robotic suit, although he did not consider it finished since he did not put a bathroom into it. He later overcomes this to some extent, and Finbarr Calamitous is heard completing sentences as seen in "Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion", "The Great Egg Heist", and "The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide". However, he still has a habit of not finishing his plans, or more specifically, he is able to carry out his plans but does not plan on what he is going to do after that. He has also been the main antagonist in the video games Nicktoons Unite! (2005) and Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots (2007) where he faced Jimmy Neutron, Timmy Turner, Danny Phantom, SpongeBob SquarePants and other Nicktoon characters.
In two separate episodes, Calamitous used disguises that initially fooled Jimmy and the other children. In the second season, Calamitous disguised himself as Princess Guan Qi "Peggy" Tsu (voiced by Ming-Na). In the third season, Calamitous disguised himself as Quentin Smithee, a demanding film director who cast Jimmy and the other children in a film. During production, Calamitous made several failed attempts to kill the children.
Shirley
Voiced by Jeff Garlin
A villain created by Jimmy Neutron and Timmy Turner in "The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour III". Although he is the main villain of the movie, he acts humble, polite and even is dimwitted. It is only when Jimmy and Timmy abandon him at a mall that he becomes evil.
Zix
(Maurice LaMarche; leader of T and Travoltron, appears in episode A Beautiful Mine, Men at Work, The Incredible Shrinking Town and The League of Villains).
Travoltron
(Jeff Bennett; the second of three alien claim-jumpers, appears in episode A Beautiful Mine, Men at Work, The Incredible Shrinking Town and The League of Villains).
Tee
(Voiced by Maurice LaMarche and Kevin Michael Richardson) is one of the three alien claim-jumpers. He appears with his friends in the episodes A Beautiful Mine, Men at Work, The Incredible Shrinking Town, and The League of Villains. He turns towards good with the other space bandits in The League of Villains. He enjoys hugging, and dreams of opening a dress shop. Tee also hates it when people call him stupid, and though he was originally mute, he became known for exclaiming "Fool!" after his sentences when he was given spoken dialogue in "The Incredible Shrinking Town."
Twonkie
Voiced by Frank Welker
A species of small, puff ball-like aliens. One is found on a comet, and it multiplies once Jimmy brings it back to Earth. Its offspring are kept as pets by the people of Retroville until their dark secret is discovered: they turn into vicious monsters every time they hear music. Sheen's terrible singing voice, however, lulls them to sleep. The Twonkies can combine themselves into a large eight-foot tall seemingly invincible monster that can only be subdued by Sheen's bad singing. Jimmy manages to capture most of the Twonkies, and sends the merged beast back to its comet; but he forgets Sheen's, which escapes and reproduces asexually. As a recurring gag, the Twonkie's offspring are seen throughout the show but unnoticed by the characters, such as in a student's locker, in a chair at Jet Fusion's wedding, and behind Carl after he is prosecuted.

April made one appearance on the show in the episode "Win, Lose, or Kaboom!". In fear of her planet's safety, she had performed a seal of trust with Jimmy which resembled a kiss. Cindy had observed this and was jealous. Jimmy's hormones had kicked in after that, and he had hoped for another kiss from her when the adventure was over. He and April would send messages via space rock after that. Her real name is Chee Aaaaaaaaaah Doik!, but she hates this name and threatens anyone who calls her by it.
