– Father, Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall
Father is a NPC in Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall and its fan revivals. He is a human supervillain and a dangerous arch-enemy and longtime foe of the Kids Next Door.[1][2] He is also the paternal uncle of Numbuh One.[2] The most sinister of all adults, Father would meet a conflict of interest when Planet Fusion's minions invaded the Earth; the war with the alien planet was greater than any dispute he had with the Kids Next Door, but siding with children was not an option to him either. As a compromise, Father selected Toiletnator to be his adult representative in the heroic alliance, conveniently establishing a faux truce while giving him plenty of inside information about the Kids Next Door and their comrades.[2] Thanks to the efforts of the Avatar and their allies though, his plans have had limited success and he has been forced to play nice.
History[]
Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall[]
Fusion Invasion[]
The Future[]
In the Future, Father was building a new housing development in Peach Creek Estates, but as the Fusion Invasion escalated, he would take off.[3]
The Past[]
Father finds himself in a major dilemma when Fuse begins his invasion. While the alien attack threatens the construction of his new housing development in the Peach Creek Estates, named Delightful Developments, he is nevertheless extremely reluctant towards forming an alliance with the Kids Next Door in order to fight the threat. He instead has the Toiletnator represent the adults in the hero's alliance, while simultaneously gathering secrets from the KND. Father's role in the war is gathering information on the monsters in order to study their behavior. This made him suspected of being a traitor by Professor Utonium. He can be found at his housing development in Peach Creek Estates.
FusionFall Retro[]
When Father hears of a time-travelling robot at Goat's Junk Yard, he sends the player to find a device from the time pod with the promise of money as a reward. When the player gives it to him, he reveals that he plans to travel to the Future to recruit the adult versions of Sector V's operatives into his adult army. As the player backs away, Buck Tuddrussel starts calling from an unknown location. The device was only just a communicator. Father still gives the player their reward, anyway. He says he plans to buy the Junk Yard from Goat so he can turn it into a car park for his golf course.

Origin[]
Benedict Wigglestein, more infamously known as Father, originates from the 2002 American animated television series Codename: Kids Next Door. In that media, he is the main antagonist of the series. Cruel, impatient, short-tempered and possessing a burning hatred for disobedient children, Father's goal is to destroy the Kids Next Door organization so adults can rule the world unopposed. Ironically though, he possesses a few childish traits. He also commands a number of superpowers, most notably pyrokinesis.
The oppressed son of the even more ruthless Grandfather, a cowardly Benedict refused to go up against his father when his big brother, Monty, found the means to oppose Grandfather. After Monty, later known as "Numbuh 0", defeated Grandfather and brought about the Seventh Age of the Kids Next Door, Benedict would follow in Grandfather's footsteps. Becoming the child-hating villain known as "Father", he would become the greatest threat to the KND in the present day. However, he rarely takes an active part in his villanous plots, and instead has his adopted children, the KND's Sector Z members, whom Father had brainwashed into the Delightful Children From Down the Lane, carry out his plans. When Numbuh 1 later disappeared after joining the Galactic KND, Father would search for him diligently.
