First Appearance: Professor Wisebottom (May 24, 1999)

Dr. Wisebottom is Nick's eccentric, crackpot inventor uncle, and his imagination is as untamed as his Einsteinian hairdo. This strange little man creates some of the most bizarre gadgets ever conceived; his time machine once sent Nick, Fooker, and Ki hurtling on a bizarre trip through the cosmos, while his virtual reality fractal explorer almost turned them into Mandelbrot dragon food. But deep down he's really a bit of a softy, and has been known to pull quite a bit of charm with the ladies. The wise doctor has tried to help Nick cope with the effects of the Inventor's Gene, and helped the U.G.A. combat C.R.U.D.E. at the Battle of Manhattan (see Surreptitious Machinations, Chapter 8: Wars and Confrontations). He also provided vital testimony during Fred's defense against Trent's lawsuit.

Future Wisebottom: In the dark future of Empress Trudy, the Professor was perhaps the last of the original core of the resistance against the Empress' oppressive regime. Having long outlived his younger counterparts, he formed the heart, soul, and mind of the rebellion, and all his fellow leaders turned to him for guidance and wisdom. Weighing heavily on his mind was the fact that he created the dreaded time machine, a key element behind the Empress's rise to power. He was rarely seen without his faithful assistant, the slime mold Socrates. Age had taken its toll on the good doctor, who was eventually confined to a motorized wheelchair and spoke only through the use of a digitized computer voice. It is assumed this version of the Professor no longer exists, since he sent his young pupil Todd into the past to undo the Empress' temporal tampering.
