History[]

TV series[]

Past[]

Back in his day, Kingsford was the most feared and respected professor of evil on the campus Dr. Eggman attended. Part of why he was so feared was because he would always pick one sap among his students to be his goat and wail mercilessly on him for the entire semester; this earned him the nickname "the goat herder."[2]

Season two[]

Eggman graduating

Kingsford giving Eggman his diploma.

Kingsford was eventually given a class of villains to educate, each one seeking a doctorate in Evil Science. Upon seeing how unprepared his student Dr. Eggman was, Kingsford made him his goat. Over the next weeks, Kingsford wailed on Eggman for his constant failures while educating his class. Eventually, he warned Eggman that his only way to pass was to ace the final exam. Unbeknownst to everyone though, Kingsford planned for the real exam to be to steal his (fake) answer sheet for the exam; only then could someone be deemed evil. At the exam, Kingsford noticed only Eggman had cheated, and so proudly gave him his diploma.[2]

Personality[]

Although calm and collected, Kingsford is a very serious and quite intimidating figure whose ruthlessness as a teacher has earned him a fearsome reputation. He is very hard to please and difficult to impress; even the slightest display of undisciplined or tardy behavior is enough to leave a long-lasting negative impression on him.[2]

An exceptionally strict teacher, Kingsford is a perfectionist and is not one to go easy on his students. This includes expecting his students to be prepared for work on the very first day of school and failing his entire class for a class project when only a single one of them fell short of his assignment. He also has a habit of singling out the "class goat" and wail mercilessly on this particular person over any error they make. However, his intentions with this behavior is not to break such students down out of pure malice. He is also capable of showing acknowledgement to those who can prove themselves, including his "class goat".[2]

Powers and abilities[]

Being a professor in Evil Science, Kingsford is a highly intelligent individual in his particular field of science. Most noticeably, he has a full understanding of the functions of a rudimentary Doomsday Device.[2]

Relationships[]

Dr. Eggman[]

Kingsford's relationship with Dr. Eggman came off to a rocky start. On the very first day of his class, he brutally made Eggman his class goat after witnessing how sloppy and unprepared the scientist was (despite the fear and respect Eggman had for him) and made sure that the whole class knew it. Over the semester, Kingsford would heavily criticize any work Eggman made, leading to Eggman developing exam anxiety. Ironically though, Eggman proved to be only one of his students to graduate his class by cheating at the final exam. Kingsford did not mind this however, and instead gained a measure of respect for Eggman.[2]
