Dexter (Dexter's Laboratory)

Dexter (born January 4, 1986) is the main protagonist of the Genndy Tartakovsky animated series Dexter's Laboratory, originally run on Cartoon Network from 1996-2003. He was originally voiced by Christine Cavanaugh, and later by Candi Milo. Dexter is a boy genius who maintains a lab behind his bookshelf, he is 10 years old, in which he invents strange chemicals, robots and rockets, and a giant fighting robot (reminiscent of machines called Mobile Suits from the Gundamanime-series) which he pilots and uses to fight his arch-nemesisMandark, who owns a similar machine. Most of his notable inventions are destroyed by his sister Dee Dee, whose favorite pastime is playing with his inventions. Despite being born and raised in an American family, he speaks with a Germanic accent, and is fluent in German, as depicted in the episode "Photo Finish". In the episode Mind Over Chatter, it revealed that Dexter's birthday is in January. He has most likely skipped a few grades. He has a crush on Blossom from The Powerpuff Girls (Tartakovsky was an animation director on PPG).
