Mr. Jelly, Knightbrace's real identity
In Operation T.E.E.T.H., He assaults Numbuh 3 in an alleyway, causing her teeth to literally blind others. The Kids Next Door then go to the candy shop after she had failed to bring them the candy they wanted and finds it to be closed. Mr. Jelly steps outside and invites them in to give them so candy, but this was seemingly to stalk them. He hesitates after Numbuh 2 asks him if he has any Taffy, he replies that they're out.
Later that night, Knightbrace attacks the sector in their treehouse. This gives Numbuh 1 suspicion that the dentist they saw from earlier, Dr. Sigmund Teef was who Knightbrace really is. The Kids Next Door tracked down where Knightbrace attacked Numbuh 3 and fought him. They eventually enter the dentist office and discover that Mr. Jelly is Knightbrace's true identity after Dr. Teef encounters them. Jelly explains his backstory and gets into a dentist chair, as it turns into a weapon. He then attacks the Kids Next Door by trapping them in Toothpaste and attempts to brush Numbuh 1's teeth. Before this happens, Dr. Teef throws a string of pink taffy at Knightbrace. This turns out to be his weakness, as it distracts him into eating it and it clogs up his machines, stopping Knightbrace from terrorizing the Kids Next Door for the time being.
While this was his only role where he is the main antagonist, he aids many other villains in the series such as Father, Mr. Boss, Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb, etc. His goal of eradicating bad dental care also being part of his plans, as he had once tried to obtain the last box of Rainbow Munchies from a store in an attempt to destroy it due to being a sugar cereal, but was beaten up by Sector V and the Villain cast.
