Señor Senior, Sr. is a supporting antagonist in Kim Possible. He is an extremely rich, fairly nice old man who turned to villainy thanks to an offhand suggestion by Ron Stoppable. He is very dedicated to what he considers "traditional" villainy, but treats it more as an entertaining hobby than anything else.
He was voiced by the late Ricardo Montalbán, who also portrayed Khan Noonien Singh in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Vincent Ludwig in The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad!. Armando Gutierrez in Freakazoid and Luis Montoya in Columbo.
Appearance[]
Senior is an older man, likely of Hispanic origin. He has a tattoo of his initials: three S's on the back of his neck. Though he typically uses a cane, he regularly participates in various strenuous activities that suggests that it is mostly decorative in nature.
Personality[]
| “ | Bad man. Good manners. | „ |
| ~ Ron Stoppable's description of Señor Senior, Sr. |
Senior is typically extremely polite, chivalrous, and well-mannered, even to those he does not necessarily have reason to like. He seems to take great pleasure in being a devoted father and, quite simply, being wealthy. He is drastically different from nearly every other villain, in that he turned to evil only for want of a new hobby to pass the time. As such, when his evil plots fails he never holds a lasting grudge, and perhaps simply chalks the defeats up to being part of a grand game that he enjoys playing. He is also notably unaware of and generally unconcerned with how people without wealth live. This tends to result in his interactions with people either out to acquire his money, or uninterested in catering to his brand of villainy, ending badly for Senior.
His fixation on traditional villainy also tends to allow for some rather questionable events. Notable among these was his refusal to kill Kim Possible outright and allow her a chance to escape, and his preference to not aim a deadly laser directly at Team Possible. According to him, there was a proper way to be a villain that he greatly aspired to, and wished for his son to join him in. He especially enjoys practicing and hopes to one day perfect a proper evil laugh.
Powers and Abilities[]
Senior's main asset is his outrageous personal fortune, which allows him to simply buy evil technology and weapons that other villains work hard to steal or build.
While he is not typically one for physical fights, being an older man, he is still in surprisingly good shape. Senior is incredibly good at extreme sports, was able to fight Kim more or less evenly while skydiving and owns an indoor mountain that he enjoys skiing on.
Biography[]
Senior and his son Junior live on a fairly intimidating private island off the coast of Europe. Team Possible first encountered them when Junior's giant tanning lamp caused rolling blackouts across Western Europe. Realizing that Senior didn't mean any harm, Kim only lectured him on energy conservation, which he seemed receptive to.
Unfortunately, Ron commented that Senior's island bears a strong resemblance to a villainous lair and gave him more suggestions for making his home more villain-worthy, like communication jamming, missiles, traps, spinning tops of doom, self-activating lasers, and a speedboat for escapes. Senior eventually comes to agree, stating he could use a hobby, having so much money and free time. He proceeds to purposely blackout Europe to demand control of their "nice, little islands." When Kim and Ron go after them, the Seniors activate traps and threaten Middleton with missile launchers to hold them off. Team Possible shut down their plans, but thanks to Ron's speedboat idea, the Seniors escaped.
Since then, the Seniors have been recurring foes of Team Possible, mostly plotting schemes and committing crimes for the challenge of it, but also to acquire power and influence, get revenge on those who wronged them, or make Junior a famous pop sensation.
Relationships[]
Family[]
Senior's only known family is his son, Señor Senior, Junior. They appear to be fairly close, although Junior resents his father's focus on traditional villainy, and prefers to use their vast fortune to become a famous pop star. Despite this, at times Junior did seem very eager to please his father. He even turned to villainy to please him.
Friends[]
Senior does not typically work with other villains, other than his son. Though he did briefly hire Shego to tutor Junior in evil, and the venture was quite successful, Senior came to miss sharing evil plots with his son and released Shego from their arrangement.
Enemies[]
Perhaps because Ron Stoppable was the person who suggested evil to Senior as a hobby, Senior always treated Team Possible with an unusual amount of warmth and even affection, viewing them more as opposing players in a spirited game, rather than actual enemies. Several times he expressed his delight when they arrived to challenge him, and actively looked forward to their encounters. This did not prevent him from preparing elaborate deathtraps for them, but at the same time, he never seemed too disappointed when they survived, as he valued the entertainment they provided him with more than their actual demise. Even when he does get angry with them, he gets over it fairly quickly. The feeling is somewhat mutual with Ron saying that Senior is a bad guy with good manners. Despite this, both he and Kim still treat Senior as they would any of their other foes.
Paraphernalia[]
Clothes[]
Senior usually wears a burgundy suit coat with a white cravat and a blue shirt underneath, khaki slacks, and brown shoes.
Trivia[]
