The series revolves around a bespectacled boy-genius who
possesses a secret laboratory hidden behind a bookcase in his
bedroom. The laboratory is filled with his inventions and can be
accessed by speaking various passwords or by activating hidden
switches on his bookshelf (e.g. pulling out a specific book). Though
highly intelligent, he often fails at what he has set out to do when he
becomes overexcited and makes careless choices. Although he
comes from a typical all-American family, he speaks with a thick
accent of indeterminate origin. Cavanaugh described it as "an
affectation, some kind of accent, we're not quite sure. A small Peter
Lorre, but not. Perhaps he's Latino, perhaps he's French. He's a
scientist; he knows he needs some kind of accent."
Genndy Tartakovsky explained, "He considers himself a very serious
scientist, and all well-known scientists have accents.“
