Voiced by: Gary Cole
Appearances: Kim Possible | Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time | Kim Possible 3: Team Possible | Kim Possible: So the Drama
Dr. James Possible works for the government as a rocket scientist. Although he's very focused on his work, he's a caring and trusting father. He seems to feel that his kids are smart enough to be Free-Range Children, but he's always there in times of need. He's extremely uncomfortable with his daughter dating... well, anyone (with the exception of Ron).
- Absent-Minded Professor: Several times, mixed with Bumbling Dad. He's a brilliant scientist outright said to be the first person to have cracked the secrets of cybertronics and an expert in rocket science. He also frequently lays on launch buttons by accident, almost deleted a state-of-the-art project with a slip of the tongue and while in college gave a lab rat a functioning battle suit with a working plasma blaster.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: "Downhill" shows that he enjoys a lot of family traditions that embarrass Kim.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: With a single short interaction with Professor Ramesh, he figured out Drakken's entire plan in "Showdown at the Crooked D".
- Birds of a Feather: He and Ron have some shared interests, like, their love for Captain Constellation, which may explain why he is okay with him dating Kim. Of course, he is still a bit of a Boyfriend-Blocking Dad towards Kim.
- Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: He has a strict set of rules concerning Kim and boys. He's more relaxed around Ron but he still threatens to send the boy into a black hole when he later starts dating Kim."Well, at least Kimmie's just lost in the timestream and not staying out late with some boy!"
- Brainy Brunette: A brunette (with greying hair) and a top rocket scientist.
- Bumbling Dad: Downplayed; he's a brilliant rocket scientist who loves his kids and they love him in return, but he is prone to being absent-minded and making mistakes.
- Character Catchphrase: "Anything's possible for a Possible!"
- Create Your Own Villain: James and his college buddies unwittingly played a part in Dr. Drakken's Start of Darkness when they mocked him for days over his failed inventions, something he's not exactly proud of twenty years later. This comes back to haunt the doc at several points during the series, like "Attack Of The Killer Bebes" and "So The Drama", since Drakken nurses a grudge against him.
- Doting Parent: He loves spending time with Kim, that's why he created the Rocket Busters event.
- First-Name Basis: He generally refers to Ron as “Ronald”.
- Good Parents: He may have a very hands-off approach, but he's still a loving father who is proud of his kids and likes spending time with them.
- Happily Married: To Mrs. Dr. P. During the animology episode, he was thrilled to find out she was his soulmate.
- If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...: His easy-going attitude does not extend to Kim's suitors (even Ron when he first went out with Kim), who must toe a very strict line.Dr. P: If [Kim's] not [happy]...it's a one-way ticket on a deep space probe.
Ron: Uh... how deep?
Dr. P: Black hole deep, Ronald. - Limited Wardrobe: Almost always seen wearing the same white shirt and black tie.
- Open-Minded Parent: Doesn't bat an eye if his daughter is traveling across the world (or lost in time) on a mission. He even provides the page quote for the trope."Chasing bad guys... switching brains... High School sure has changed since I was young."
- Rebel Leader: Not to the same extent as his sons, but James and Ann led the "Great Lunar Migration" when Shego took over the world in the Bad Future of A Sitch in Time, establishing a new free society on the Moon.
- Shipper on Deck: It's more subtle than his wife, but while he's usually hesitant to discuss boy problems with Kim and is very much a Boyfriend-Blocking Dad, he's more comfortable both with discussing Kim's problems with Ron and is more relaxed and fairly accepting of Ron being her date for the Middleton Days festival in "Emotion Sickness" - though he still threatens to send him on a one-way trip on a black hole deep space probe if he ever makes her unhappy.
- Strong Family Resemblance: As seen in the Bad Future, the adult version of Jim and Tim look very similar to him, only with messier hair, more muscular builds and blue eyes.
- Techno Wizard: A rocket scientist, and generally very good with technology.
- Trademark Favorite Food: He likes bacon on pretty much everything. It's his topping of choice whenever his wife orders pizza for the family.
- Unnamed Parent: Didn't have a name until So the Drama, where his full name is revealed to be "James Timothy Possible."
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: James, along with his friends and college colleagues Bob Chen and Ramesh, mocked their colleague and then-friend Drew Lipsky on his well-thought buy shoddily-made prototype Bebe robots that they were supposed to go out on dates with. This proved to be the breaking point in a long string of humiliations for Drew, who would go on to try to win the admiration of everyone by turning into Dr. Drakken, who was to be his daughter's main enemy.

Voiced by: Jean Smart
Appearances: Kim Possible | Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time | Kim Possible 2: Drakken's Demise | Kim Possible: So the Drama
Kim's equally devoted mother, Anne, is a neurosurgeon (called a "brain surgeon" in the series), and like her husband is usually in her white coat or a set of scrubs. She's a bit more understanding of her daughter's love life and not quite as blase about the whole world-saving hobby of hers.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: "Downhill" shows that she enjoys a number of family traditions that embarrass Kim.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Figures out that the synthoplasma slime from "Mother's Day" reacted to current the same way as a brain's electrical impulses after a single jolt of electricity from the Kimmunicator zaps it and with that knowledge was able to "talk to it" and calm it down with the right brainwaves frequency.
- A Day in the Limelight: She joins Kim on a mission in the episode "Mother's Day".
- Doting Parent: She loves talking about her own three kids and also to Ron, who sees her as a surrogate mother.
- Fiery Redhead: Inverted. She's a redhead but she's more calm and put together than her brown-haired husband, who can occasionally be bumbling and absent-minded. The only time she gets visibly worked up is when she's losing her patience with Prince Wally in "Royal Pain".
- Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife: Her husband's absent-minded and her sons are dangerously creative. Compared to them, she's much calmer and more sensible.
- Good Parents: She always makes time for her kids when they need her. If she happens to be in surgery at the time, she'll just put them on speaker phone.
- Happily Married: To Mr. Dr. P. During the animology episode, she was thrilled to find out he was her soulmate.
- Hospital Hottie: As previously mentioned, she works as a neurosurgeon, and she looks identical to her daughter, just older and with shorter hair that's a lighter shade, blue eyes and a slightly more pinkish color to her skin. In "Number One", Will Du compliments her by saying that the photo included in a scientific paper she wrote doesn't do her justice.
- Housewife: Downplayed, as she holds a steady full-time job as a neurosurgeon, but she's typically the one shown handling housework in the Possible home; cleaning, cooking and taking care of the children.
- Mum Looks Like a Sister: Drakken mistakes her for Kim's sister in "Mother's Day".Drakken: And so, Kim Possible and her... sister? Hm?
Anne: Is he hitting on me?
Kim: Nah, sidekicks really confuse him. - Nice Girl: Very respectful, friendly and calm. She's very understanding as well.
- Open-Minded Parent: Like her husband, Mrs. Dr. P doesn't bat an eye at Kim's dangerous adventuring, but she's at least shown some awareness that it has dangers.
- Rebel Leader: Not to the same extent as her sons, but James and Ann led the "Great Lunar Migration" when Shego took over the world in the Bad Future of A Sitch in Time, establishing a new free society on the Moon.
- Shipper on Deck: The series implies that she's been fond of the idea of Kim and Ron as a couple for some time. In "Emotion Sickness", she is overjoyed when Ron comes to pick Kim up for their "date". Later, in So The Drama, she tries persuading Kim that going to prom with Ron wouldn't be so bad, seems to be the only one to notice his hurt feelings about Kim and Eric during dinner, and on the night of the actual prom, she looks disappointed when her gaze falls on a picture of a younger Kim and Ron together.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Kim gained most of her looks from Anne.
- Unnamed Parent: She's not named until "Graduation", where her first name is revealed to be "Anne".

Click here to see their future selves
Voiced by: Shaun Fleming (pre-voice break) / Spencer Fox (post-voice break) / Freddie Prinze Jr. (Future Tweebs)
Appearances: Kim Possible | Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time | Kim Possible: So the Drama
James (Jim) and Timothy (Tim) Possible, Kim's younger twin brothers, are chiefly background characters until the fourth season, where they're promoted to high school by skipping a few grades. Kim refers to them as being the natural result of a rocket scientist having children with a brain surgeon.
- Ambiguous Situation: Due to sharing his paterfamilias' given name, it is unclear if Jim is a junior as he is never referred to as such. He could be a III, IV, but ultimately the show never goes that much into detail about the Possible family tree.
- Annoying Younger Sibling: Twins, no less. Twin dweebs or its portmanteau form "the Tweebs", as Kim calls them, as they delight in tormenting and embarrassing her to no end. They get better as they grow older (and much cooler in the future). In one episode of Season 4 however, they try to mooch off of Kim by making her sign a contract that makes her their chaperone in exchange for fixing her car. They do lighten up on her though.
- Brainy Brunette: Brunettes like their father and are incredibly inventive.
- Character Catchphrase:
- "Hicka bicka boo?" and "Hoo sha!"
- "Gotta go!"
- Color-Coded Characters: Jim wears green while Tim wears red. Doubles as an Identical Twin ID Tag since they look completely identical otherwise.
- Everyone Has Standards: While they're not above joining Bonnie Rockwaller in humiliating Kim, even the Tweebs personally can't stand her.
- Family Theme Naming: Like their sister, their names are a pun on "Impossible".
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The Foolish siblings to Kim's Responsible Sibling given their pranks and inventions (in the earlier seasons). They mature by the final season (although Kim's still the most responsible of the three).
- Formerly Fat: They were chubbier in the first three seasons and in the final season, they lost the baby fat. In the Bad Future, they are huge and muscular and can pass for professional wrestlers.
- Future Badass: Like Wade, in "A Sitch in Time", they're key members of La Résistance, buff, Genius Bruiser Gentle Giant commandos. In that particular Bad Future, they're the Big Damn Heroes. They rescue Kim and Ron from High School.
- Gadgeteer Genius: They're the ones who soup up Kim's car in Season 4, and have put together serious high-tech. To quote one noodle incident in "Team Impossible":Jim: We're making anti-matter in the garage!
- Grade Skipper: In Season 4, they're only 12 but due to their intellect, they're able to skip a few grades and start high school.
- It's Personal: In the episode where they fix her car and have Kim as their chaperone, she tries and initially fails to catch Motor Ed. Turns out, they don't like being one-upped and freely upgrade Kim's car into a supercar to keep up with Motor Ed's rocket car.
- Plot-Relevant Age-Up: Somewhat justified. The series started out with Kim as a sophomore and she's a senior when Season 4 starts. So Jim and Tim end up going through quite the growth spurt when they're 12 and enter high school (by skipping a few grades).
- Rebel Leader: In A Sitch in Time, they're key leader figures of the rebellion against Shego's rule as the Supreme One along with Wade.
- Single-Minded Twins: They're basically the same person in two bodies.
- Strong Girl, Smart Guy: Smart Guys to Kim's Strong Girl. She's a strong fighter who saves the world, Jim and Tim are annoying brats who are also scientific prodigies. Kim is very smart but lacks the scientific knowledge of her brothers and doesn't understand many of their terms, phrases, or inventions.
- Teen Genius: Like Wade, it's more like preteen genius, but they skip several grades to High School.
- Theme Twin Naming: Tim and Jim. Has a deeper meaning as it turns out they're named after their father, James Timothy Possible.
- Trickster Twins: Much of their creativity goes into pranks. There's one example where they create a system of untraceable emails (featuring an unflattering picture of Kim brushing her teeth while wearing moisturizer) by re-routing them through foreign countries.
- Twin Telepathy: Their "weirdo language" and Finishing Each Other's Sentences.Ron: This Finishing Each Other's Sentences is freakin' me out!
"Nana" Possible
"Nana" Possible
Voiced by: Debbie Reynolds
Appearances: Kim Possible | Kim Possible 3: Team Possible
Kim's paternal grandmother. Portrayed as a usually sweet old lady. But, as Drakken reveals, she has had her fair share of adventure back in her younger days.
- Always Someone Better: Despite her age, she's one of the few characters who can outdo Kim in martial arts.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Sweet and gentle and knits sweaters, but she can still kick ass when needed.
- Cool Old Lady: Despite her smothering, she's a sweet person. Besides that, she is much like her granddaughter; she has excellent martial arts skills, having trained in "Pang Lang Quan Kung Fu" in a Shaolin Monastery, to a level of mastery that surpasses even her granddaughter's martial art skills. She was also in the Navy SEALs.
- Iron Lady: She has an iron will and little tolerance for panic or cowards, and tells Steve Barkin to go hide in a closet if he can't keep it together during the Lowardian Invasion in the Grand Finale.
- Mama Bear: Nana Possible was prepared to kick Shego's butt when the latter made a threat against Kim.
- My Beloved Smother: A grandmother variant. Nana means well, but she constantly babies her teenage granddaughter.
- Never Mess with Granny: She spars with Kim and wins.
- Nice Girl: Grandmotherly, kind, and loving.
- Retired Badass: Drakken revealed that she is the first woman to complete the Navy SEALs underwater demolition course, amongst other things — Kim had no idea.
- Selective Obliviousness: Literally. If she doesn't want to listen to someone she'll just turn off her hearing aid
- Unnamed Parent: She's never referred to by anything other than "Mom" by her sons and "Nana" by her grandchildren.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: According to Kim, she takes her critical side to extreme levels. Her overprotectiveness is overall well-meaning and has loving purposes.
Slim Possible
Slim Possible
Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson
Appearances: Kim Possible
Kim, Jim, and Tim's uncle and James Possible's older brother. Though a talented scientist and inventor like his brother, he prefers the quiet, solitary life of a rancher, and owns and operates the "Lazy C" ranch in Montana where he and his daughter Joss live.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Created a series of cybertronic robot horses that are able to mimic the form and function of a real horse and developed an advanced satellite surveillance system capable of monitoring his entire ranch and the surrounding area.
- Good Parents: He's quite relaxed with his daughter, and actively encourages her to be herself.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Delivers one to his brother, who is a bit miffed to not having been invited to the supergeniuses' meeting in the Crooked D (though it turns out to be a trap, and he was left off the list to avoid attracting Kim's attention.)Slim: Y'know, squirt, I'm pretty handy with the cutting edge tech myself, but I'm nowhere near as smart as you.
James: Oh, now, Slim, I'm not that smart.
Slim: 'Course you are, and you know it. Doesn't matter who else knows it.
Joss Possible
Joss Possible
Voiced by: Tara Strong
Appearances: Kim Possible
Kim's cousin via her dad's brother, Slim. Joss's only appearance is in "Showdown at the Crooked D", were it's shown that she's come down with a major case of hero worship for Kim, which ends up transplanted to Ron at the end.
- Badass Adorable: Even with her clumsiness resulting from trying to emulate Kim, she still shows that she can kick some patooty when she wants to.
- Gadgeteer Genius: That grappling hook she made was mighty impressive, as was her knowledge of her dad's equipment. Considering her family, it seems that she wants to be the Action Hero while she's more of a Science Hero.
- Hero-Worshipper: Joss seems is prone to this, as she jumps from idolizing Kim for being fearless to idolizing Ron for overcoming his many fears. See Heroic Wannabe.
- Heroic Wannabe: Tries to achieve being a hero by imitating her cousin, Kim. Learns An Aesop about what being a hero really means — and begins to hero worship Ron instead.
- I Just Want to Be Special: She feels like she's "just a nobody, stuck out here in the middle of nowhere". She wants to be amazing and incredible just like her cousin, idolizing Kim and her globe-trotting heroics while she's stuck living in a small rural Montana town, helping her father tend to the Lazy C. Drakken and Shego showing up at her town excites her, which Kim lightly scolds her because of how dangerous it is, because hardly anything ever happens in that town.
- Lampshade Hanging: She pulls these out left and right in an attempt to push
Fridge Logic to the breaking point with her questioning. Kim doesn't appreciate it. - Loony Fan: At the beginning of the episode she was hero worshipping Kim to the point of mirroring her. At the end, she's this to Ron.
- Missing Mom: Her mother was not present at the ranch.
- Odd Name Out: Her name doesn't fit the usual -im rhyme scheme. It does, however, make a different pun: "just possible".
- Plucky Girl: She only got a bit bummed when Kim told her not to fool around. Then she proved to Kim that she could pull off being a hero.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: In "Graduation" most of the Possible clan is there including her father, yet she doesn't attend. Then again, given how she's younger than Kim, it's likely she was at school at the time and thus unable to go to her cousin's graduation.
Larry
Cousin Larry
Voiced by: Brian Posehn
Appearances: Kim Possible
Kim's nerdy cousin; neither Kim nor her brothers is too keen to spend time with him, but they still care for him and he does help from time to time. He's 19 as of season 4, making him about a year or two older than Kim
- Basement-Dweller: Very downplayed example, but he turns 19 by Season 4 yet still lives with his mother (not uncommon, but he is now an adult technically.) Whether this means he doesn't show much of an interest in higher education or has different plans isn't known.
- Brainy Brunette: Larry is an expert or knowledgeable in many stereotypical "nerd" topics such as comic books, science fiction movies along with their novelizations, fantasy role-playing games, computer games, and robotic fight clubs.
- Disappeared Dad: We don't ever see his father, even when we see his mother in his last episode in the last season.
- Fake Defector: Pretends to side with Dementor in order to help free Kim and Ron. He thought this was all a LARP session for his birthday.
- Geek Physiques: He's a bit on the chunky side.
- Smart People Wear Glasses: Larry wears square glasses and is an expert on everything nerdy.
- Took a Level in Badass: Manages to use Kim's supersuit to great effect, including protecting himself from an acid bath with the forcefield function and taking out Dementor and his henchmen with relative ease.
June
Aunt June
Voiced by: Mary Jo Catlett
Appearances: Kim Possible
Larry's mother and Kim's aunt. She's a loving parent but doesn't understand her son's interests and can be overprotective, hence why she is insistent on Kim supervising him. It's unknown from which side of the family she's from and if it's by blood or marriage.
- Logical Latecomer: In a sense. Out of Kim's family, she's the most mundane and doesn't seem that closely affiliated with the Possibles nor seen in the family reunions (this may mean she's related to Ann.) As such, she doesn't really get much of the weirdness during her brief exposure to it.
- My Beloved Smother: She's pretty overprotective of her son and doesn't understand his nerdy interests. As such, she often has Kim look out for him.
