Nothing is Impossible
is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover with primary elements of Kim Possible, Jackie Chan Adventures, The Powerpuff Girls and My Life as a Teenage Robot by Finmonster.
Nothing Is Impossible provides examples of:
- Actor Allusion: Valmont's first name is Julian, as in Julian Sands, his voice actor in the first two Jackie Chan Adventures seasons.
- Adaptational Backstory Change:
- Jackie apparently worked with Section 13 in the past, whereas in canon he only found out about them when Black recruited him to help with the Dark Hand.
- Shego/Shelonda Gomez was created by the Impossibles Project, with Lipsky/Drakken being the head of the project before going rogue when Gomez's Psycho Prototype behavior caused the higher-ups to try and shut the project down. In canon, she was a superhero who turned to villainy.
- Kim was also born from the Impossibles Project, having lived a relatively normal life with her friends before the gang incident triggered her buried combat skills.
- Wade was recruited to Section 13.
- Dr. Wakeman and Sheldon were also recruited into Section 13, who were the ones to fund the XJ project.
- Duff Killigan was a former pro golf player in canon, here he was an SAS member.
- Adaptational Badass: The Enforcers are described as being more formidable fighters than in canon.
- Adaptational Jerkass: Sheldon in the show was far from perfect, having a few Stalker with a Crush tendencies and Green-Eyed Monster moments himself, but he at least treated Jenny like an autonomous being, unlike this version, who is a full-blown Control Freak towards her.
- Adaptational Job Change:
- In the show, Duff Killigan was a villain and former pro golf player. Here, he's reportedly an SAS member turned Arms Dealer.
- The Seniors have gone from Idle Rich to drug lords.
- Adaptational Personality Change: Jenny in this story is more submissive and less willing to go against orders than the original, who often disobeyed her mother to try and engage in more human activities. By contrast, Nora here is more open and encouraging of the idea of getting Jenny to socialize, while her show counterpart originally never let her leave the house unless there was a threat she needed to stop.
- Adaptational Sexuality:
- Kim in this story is bisexual, having dated boys and girls in the past.
- Jenny is heavily implied to be gay, as it's hinted she has feelings for Kim.
- Adaptational Wimp:
- Downplayed, but Shego lacks her Hand Blast powers due to being a Super-Soldier and only has her fighting skills and Charles Atlas Superpower. Instead, she makes more use of conventional weapons like knives and fire arms. And then she obtains gloves that give her powers like what she had in canon...
- Downplayed in that she's still a powerful robot, but Jenny/XJ-9 is far more grounded than the original. In the show, she could fly, stretch out her limbs, and had several other on-board weapons to the point of New Powers as the Plot Demands. Here, she makes it clear that she doesn't have those abilities. This is justified due to her being designed for infiltration and execution in this story, while her show version was designed to be a One-Woman Army and was designated as a "Robotic Global Response Unit".
- Adaptation Origin Connection:
- Section 13 is combined with Global Justice, with the name of the former, with Dr. Director being Black's boss, and Wade as one of their scientists.
- Kim and Shego are both attempts to create a Super-Soldier by the Impossibles Project.
- Dr. Wakeman and Jenny are connected to Section 13, as Dr. Wakeman is one of their scientists while Jenny is an agent.
- This story's version of the Gang Green Gang (here called the Triple Gs) go to Middleton High, and regularly bully Ron.
- Sheldon, who works at Section 13 in this story, worked on Jenny, specifically her synthetic skin.
- Duff Killigon supplied Shego with the gloves that give her her trademark plasma hands.
- Airvent Passageway: Jade uses them to get around Section 13.
- Artificial Human: Kim is really the product of a project to create a Super-Soldier, Gomez being the Psycho Prototype.
- Awful Truth: Kim does not take learning about her true origins very well.
- Battle in the Rain: Kim (and later Jenny's) first fight with Shego happens in the rain after Shego throws Kim out of a window.
- Big Damn Heroes: Jenny arrives just in time to save Kim from Gomez.
- Blood Knight: Gomez. She even passes up a chance to force Kim to surrender with an I Have Your Wife moment because she wants to have some "fun" fighting her first.
- Boxing Lessons for Superman: Kim starts training with Jackie in order to allow her to consciously access the skills implanted in her subconscious.
- Brief Accent Imitation: Kim briefly adopts a Southern drawl as a demonstration of her undercover skills.
- Bullying a Dragon: When Kim returns to school after the events of chapter 1, Bonnie takes a moment to raz Kim over 'being a danger to the other students'... until Kim asks her if it's wise to provoke someone who, by Bonnie's own admission, might be dangerous.
- Catapult Nightmare: Kim has one at the start of the story.
- Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Characters like Drakken and Shego are referred to by their real names and don't go by their canonical villain names.
- Control Freak: Sheldon in regards to Jenny. He controls what she's allowed to wear (made creepier by the fact that her design is based off 1950s pin-up models) and tries to keep her from hanging out with Kim.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: Sheldon is this to Jenny, to the point of insisting that he's better at teaching her how to be more like a teenage girl than Kim, an actual teenage girl.
- Death by Adaptation: Due to Shego egging her on, Kim cracks Junior's skull open in chapter 12.
- Discontinuity Nod: In the show, Shego's Hand Blast abilities were originally supposed to have come from her gloves before it became clear that she could use them even without the gloves. Here she obtains gloves that give her powers similar to her canonical ones from Duff.
- Doing In the Wizard: In canon, Shego's powers were from getting hit with an irradiated comet. Here, there from a high-tech pair of gloves.
- Genre Shift: Not for the story, but for Jackie Chan Adventures. Due to Kim Possible being a Sci-Fi/Action-based series, the Urban Fantasy attributes of Jackie Chan Adventures are removed, making Section 13 face more of the traditional Secret Agent-type activities they were supposed to deal with in the past. On the other hand, Kim has had run-ins with the supernatural in the past (just look at nearly any episode with Monkey Fist), so who knows?
- I Have No Son!: Inverted. This is Kim's attitude to her parents after learning the truth about her past.
- I Have Your Wife: Gomez captured Kim's family to force her into a confrontation.
- Insufferable Genius: When Sheldon is asked about what he does at Section 13 by Kim, he dismissively says that because he's a genius, she wouldn't understand it, before Jenny interjects and explains that he designed her synthetic skin.
- It's Not You, It's My Enemies: Kim, not wanting them to get hurt, attempts to end her friendship with Ron and Monique.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: In addition to Kim Possible and Jackie Chan Adventures, there's also Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot.
- The gang that harasses Ron, and whom Kim ultimately fights, are implied to be the Gang Green Gang from The Powerpuff Girls (albeit with more normal skin tones).
- Mythology Gag:
- When Jim and Tim pester Jenny about any weapon systems she might have, they end up listing some of the ones she had in the original show.
- Shego's powers coming from specialized gloves are a nod to how her powers were originally going to be in the show before it was decided to make them innate.
- Named by the Adaptation: In canon, Shego's name was never given, here it's Shelonda Gomez.
- Valmont and the Enforcers are all given first names here (or a last name in Finn's case). "Julian" for Valmont, "Giovanni" for Ratso, "Shing" for Chow, and "O'Connell" for Finn.
- Senor Senior Senior's middle name is Santiago.
- "No. Just… No" Reaction: Kim's response to Jenny addressing herself as a "gynoid".
- One Last Job: Non-criminal variant. Captain Black recruits Jackie Chan for this reason. Uncle is highly skeptical, claiming that Black will always have "one more job" for Jackie to pull off.
- No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Lipsky was drastically set back when Mr. and Mrs. Possible took both Kim and the research needed to make more like her when they fled the project when he tried to take it underground. Even over a decade later, presumably due to a lack of government funding and a full research team, it'd apparently be easier to find and capture Kim in order to reverse-engineer her than to make another like her in a reasonable time-frame.
- Psychopathic Womanchild: Gomez, the narration even notes that her whining at the thought of forcing Kim to surrender without a fight by threatening her family, saying it would be boring, is almost child-like.
- Psycho Prototype: Shelonda Gomez/Shego to Kim. At the age of 12, she killed three members of Army special forces that were supposed to be sparring with her and had to be sedated and dragged out in restraints, killed the general in charge of the Impossibles project at Lipsky's behest, and has apparently been doing his dirty work since.
- Race Lift: Presumably with Shego. Shego was white in the original Kim Possible before her skin went green. Here, she's most likely Latina, since her full name is Shelonda Gomez.
- Ridiculously Human Robot: Jenny in this story has synthetic flesh and hair akin to her exo-skin.
- Ship Tease: Some of Jenny's dialogue in chapter 9 hints to her developing feelings for Kim.
- Shout-Out: Some of Jenny's mannerisms bring Penny from RWBY to mind. Her fight with Shego has her use her umbrella in a manner similar to Neo from the same series. She's also compared to The Terminator since she's humanoid tissue surrounding a mechanical endoskeleton.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: Jade, as usual. She uses the air vents in Section 13 to disappear and reappear at the drop of a hat, and she's very good at sneaking up on people, as seen when she interacts with Kim.
- Steven Ulysses Perhero: Shelonda Gomez.
- Super-Soldier: Kim and Gomez are both products of the Impossibles Project, which was designed to making these. Kim, in particular, was the masterpiece, having all her combat skills basically pre-loaded in her subconscious, while Gomez was a Psycho Prototype that needed to be trained the normal way.
- Technology Marches On: Played with. When Wade shows Kim what's clearly meant to be the kimmunicator, Kim snarks that someone's already invented the smartphone... until Wade lists all the other features (like chemical analysis and remote hacking).
- Traumatic Superpower Awakening: Kim's Impossibles Project combat skills were jarred loose from her subconscious when she, Ron and Monique are being attacked by gang members at her school.
- Truly Single Parent: While Kim's mother is her biological one, and the source of her red hair and the like, she technically doesn't HAVE a father, the traits that were chosen for the project being infused in her viable egg by Mr. Possible, having been compiled from numerous sources.
- The Un-Smile: Gomez creeps out a customs official when they realize that she isn't smiling, she's baring her teeth.
- Villain Team-Up: Gomez and Lipsky are currently working for the Dark Hand, who're also working with the Seniors and Duff Killigan.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Valmont has covered up his smuggling racket behind a front as a shipping and import company, and has cultivated the persona of a philanthropist.
- You Are Number 6:
- Gomez/Shego is IP-22, Kim is IP-23.
- Jenny, as usual, is XJ-9.
- You Can't Go Home Again: After Gomez attacks the Possible home, they're evacuated to Section 13, and are stuck staying there for the foreseeable future for their safety.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Kim's reaction to learning Senor Senior Junior's name.
