Prologue
When people think of Dr. Possible, what do they think of? A brilliant rocket scientist who happens to be one of the greatest minds of the planet, the person whose daughter is none the less than the great teen world saving hero Kim Possible, the guys whose twin children are exactly alike him and show great potential and most importantly, the guy who is known for his appealing yet sometimes somewhat ego shine motto "Everything is possible for a Possible!".
Impressive isn't it? Yet not all that shines is gold, it's time the true story unravelled.
Born in Middleton Colorado, James Timothy Possible was the younger son of a crime fighting heroine and of a scientist. He, along with his older brother Slim, seemed to have earned their father's talents but unfortunately not their mother's.
From a very young age did these two brothers show an intense interest in science and other applications, creating rockets and all sorts of inventions, while his brother was more interested in robotics, James was more into mechanical engineering and rocket science.
But James unlike his older brother Slim began to feel overconfident about his abilities. After winning several awards in science fairs and other competitions, James started to become rather overconfident, even arrogant, and as time passed did his arrogance grew larger and larger, making rather annoying towards his friends and even his older brother who started to call him some annoying names ever since a young age just to make him realize that he wasn't better than the rest.
But it simply didn't work, time passed, and James acquired an almost obsessive nature in minimizing people and showing everyone the he was the best, he even started to quote a certain phrase that would forever remain in his mind "Everything is possible to a Possible!".
When they first heard of this phrase, James parents and his brother thought positively about it, seeing it as way of achieving the necessary self confidence that a person needs in order to be successful, like James father always said "You need to have confidence in yourself".
But it was all very different, in short time after repeating this sentence James actually believed he could really do anything, but of course he would only say that in appropriate occasions, but his older brother quickly got feed up with it an once asked him the two questions that forever would damage his ego.
"Can you jump a five store building with your own feet?" Slim asked.
"No".
"Can you create one of your most complex rockets in five minutes?"
"NO!"
"Then you can't do everything little bro, remember, it's true you have amazing abilities that most people would even dream of, yet that doesn't give you the right to think you're better that everyone else, not because of your genes, nor because of our family or because of anything. If you say you're able to do anything, then other people are also able to do it, you may not tell it directly to other people but I can see it in your eyes, little bro, I can see the pride and arrogance."
James was now clenching his fists tightly.
"And remember, there could be always someone better than you" now Slim approached his younger brother and patted his shoulder "but don't forget that you're special, we all are, everyone last all of us! You have your abilities, but others also have theirs, and although you've shown them that you are better than them at technology and science, in their case they could be better than you at something else and beat you as easily as you beat them."
This of course didn't affect their relationship as brothers much, nor with their parents, but James ego never diminished but one thing happened, although apparently he didn't seem to possess much common sense, things were in fact different, he became more subtle, more watchful of things and although he started making some friends, the same thought was always present.
"I'm better then they are"
In fact, James attitude also had a more dark side, with time some evil tendencies started to appear, he began to enjoy the feeling of power, to control people, to make then act and do as he wished, and whenever the situation would turn against him he would either start with his motto, never accepting others reasons.
Even his scientific applications began to show signs of a more violent nature, exploding rockets, electronic armours, lasers, devices that could explode turned out to be his favourites, and although he seemed to have a most mature or purposely mature attitude towards others, inside there was always the arrogance and the darkness.
Throughout his life, he either maintained a neutral attitude with some or simply joked with others, but it was only until college that he found minds that equalled his. James frequented Middleton College, while his brother Slim was in another College, during his stasis there he finally found people that equalled his genius, and thus a real friendship began, but with the exception of one.
Drew Lipsky was one of the most talented minds that ever frequented Middleton College, at first he hadn't any close colleagues or friends until the found some quite enjoyable students who happened to be the same people James turned friends with some time later. James quickly realized that Drew was quite near his level, but not close enough for him, and so since day one the fooled him, played him and made him the head of all ill jokes. No matter how hard Drew tried, he always was one step behind, and James certified that this happened by always making his morale go rock bottom, in some aspects Drew was even a toy for James, since he needed someone to be the centre of all laughs, and even the one who he had to discharge all his arrogance and pride.
As a result, Drew became who we know as Dr. Drakken.
As college continued, James made the greatest discovery of his life, a discovery in the form of a young college girl named Ann, he immediately fell in love with her and so did she, and for the first time James understood the meaning of the word love. As time passed they became closer and closer until one day, college was finally over.
At that time, they had finally decided that they were the right one's to each other and quickly settled in James home town Middleton Colorado. Although a great husband, James dark personality also reflected on this relationship by being over protective of his wife and in a near future, of his children, if his family was harmed in way serious way he would even kill if necessary, that's what the robot behind he bushes of his house was for…
His wife never suspected his behaviour, for James knew how to hid knew his character flaws, although apparently unaware of common things and showing a serious lack of common sense, James was in truth every time watchful of his family and always in a stand by mode to protect his family at all costs.
Now where was I… ah yes, the children!
It didn't take long until James and Ann had their first baby, who turned out to be a girl, and they called her Kimberly Ann Possible. As Kim lived her first moments the first words she heard were…"Everything's possible for a Possible".
Life was perfect! James couldn't be happier. With his successful career as a rocket scientist in Middleton Space Centre, which in fact turned out to be the closest the could ever had in blowing things up, just send a rocket and watch it blow, as well as other more "violent" projects, military projects that is. He had a wonderful, beautiful wife and a baby girl, the American had come true…
By the age of four, Kim had ever since been taught that everything's possible for a Possible, and although his wife heard it frequently, she didn't think much of it. Kim on the other hand had been put inside her head at a very young age that she could really do anything, it took it's time indeed, but by the age of eight she already firmly believed this idea, as I she was some kind of a zealot.
And that's what James wanted, she wanted her child to feel more than just special, he wanted her know to blindly believe that she was superior to all, that she was unique, that she as a Possible, just every other Possible, they were different from the remaining people. He didn't even what her so suspect or question about it, after all he had proof, she was non other than the result of a mix of rocket scientist genes and brain surgeon genes as he called it. He wanted her to feel special, different form everybody else, but at the same time never suspect that reality.
But everything that is good must sooner or later come to an end.
And that's when "he" came to his life.
His life was going wonderfully well, Ann was pregnant once again and Kim was going for the first time to kinder garden, a wonderful day this was going to be!
Kim was still in the acceptance process of the meaning of his reality for she told her parents that she was afraid that no one would like her, as soon as he heard that he wanted to secure Kim of her inevitable success and as moments before they had left her in there, he told her "yes you can, and don't forget, everything's possible for a Possible!"
That was the one time he had regret saying that to her.
They returned to pick Kim up as were most exited to hear that Kim had got a new best friend, and Kim called him.
Shyly, he boy approached them, he was a blond boy, with freckles, brown eyes and a what James first saw as a shy attitude. They asked him excitedly who he was and he told them:
R-Ron S-Stoppable.
Ron Stoppable, a name James would envy, curse and hate throughout the many years to come. They asked Ron how he had met Kim, and he told them, oh boy did he told them…
As he began speaking his first sentence, James was stunned, for it hadn't been a simple poorly described answer, but a most complex one with an extensive use of extremely complex and elaborate vocabulary, most of it even hardly known by 8th grade students, but that wasn't all of it.
The ideas and concepts that he implemented in his explanations were absurdly complex for a kid of his age, beginning with the reason for social order, to anarchy, to most complex psychological and logical deductions. Besides from all this he noticed he had an extremely high level of knowledge for a kid of his age, which would also justify his complex vocabulary.
He had never seen anything like this, what could this mean?
He returned home, caring a most exited Kim with him, they entered the house and Ann asked James to take Kim upstairs, James eagerly obeyed her, knowing this was a perfect opportunity to have a talk with Kim alone.
As soon as they entered Kim's room, James tried to create an environment as relaxed as possible and asked Kim a question which he already feared the answer.
"Kimmie-cub, what do you think of Ron?"
At first Kim stated that Ron had defended her from some bullies, and instead of the usual result that he was waiting to hear of physical defence, he heard much to his surprise that Ron started pointing out all sorts of thingies about rules of something, and an even greater surprise was that Kim, HIS DAUGHTER, couldn't understand a thing of what he had just said, in the end the bullies turned on him and she ended up saving him, and only by remembering what her father had told her "Everything's possible for a possible".
She then told him that when he headed towards him he responded saying a hole bunch gobbledygooky things, things that she simply couldn't understand, she was afraid that she was about to lose a friend, when she finally risked and asked if he could play ball.
Kim continued describing the situation "Ron said something about oable thumbs or something"
"Opposable thumbs Kimmie" he told her and much to his surprise she told him that he told her that one of the kids had opposable thumbs in his feet.
James was scared with the present situation, one thing is to know what opposable thumbs is another is to identify them, and on one's feet, if the first one wasn't absurdly enough, then the second one had left him sweating.
James was at least somewhat relieved, his daughter that shown that she had great skill in something at a very young age, he would use that to his advantage, he would exploit it.
"Dady, did I do well today?"
"Of course Kimmie-cub, you got a friend, see, everything's possible for a Possible!"
As James left the room his mind was still processing the information he had just received. How could a boy like him at such a young age understand such concepts? He tried to deny it, arranging every type of excuse possible, but each time he tried, the same answer came to mind, each time he tried to deny it proof just came in larger and larger quantities, and them he finally was forced to accept that,
"He's a genius…" he thought.
But as he analysed the information more and more carefully he realized that at his age even he, one of the greatest minds of the present, never showed such grasp and intelligence at such a young age which lead to another though form in his mind.
"He may even be a greater genius than me…"
