“	Oh, Janitor! Some kid vomited in the hallway. Could you make with the sawdust and clean it up? If you could just so that now? Your son will still be dead when you get back.	„
	- Scudworth

Dr. Cinnamon J. Scudworth is the main antagonist of Clone High. He is a mad scientist, who created all the clones of historic figures, and made them high school teenagers. He now works as the principal of Clone High High School, employed by The Secret Board of Shadowy Figures. He is voiced by Phil Lord.

Biography

Scudworth is the principal at Clone High, and in the 80s the government and Secret Board of Shadowy Figures had him dig up famous people from history and clone them to make super soldiers. He is always trying to betray the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures and use the clones for his own schemes, a clone themed amusement park dubbed "Cloney Island". The theme song shows him and Mr. B digging up Abraham Lincoln. It can be assumed that he dug up and cloned all, or at least most, of the clones himself with the help of Mr. B.

Appearance

Scudworth is seen with thinning brown hair with a bald spot, a pointy "soul patch" under his lower lip, He wears glasses, a white lab coat under his coat there is a blue dress shirt and a navy tie and with black pants and shoes. He is always wearing yellow rubber gloves.

Personality

Scudworth is best described as being eccentric, as well as insensitive to others and emotionally detached from everyone else around him. He appears to be a narcissist and is very arrogant of himself and abilities, often dismissing whatever doubts he has. He is very sensitive and easily offended. It is never really clear whether Scudworth really is a scientific genius or just a "basket case" as his intelligence has been subject in the TV series. He is shown to be mentally unstable and prone to having meltdowns. It is likely that Scudworth is neurodivergent, indicated by his meltdown in Changes: The Big Prom: The Sex Romp: The Season Finale. It is also shown in that episode that he rapidly shakes his hands or steps back and forth repeatedly when excited, a common form of stimming in neurodivergent people.

Relationships

Mr. Butlertron

Mr. Butlertron appears to be Scudworth's only true friend, at least the only one who supports Scudworth's silly endeavors. Scudworth at first treats him as a servant, but after Mr. B saved Scudworth's dinner party in the episode "Film Fest", Scudworth acknowledges Mr. B as his friend.

However, it is hinted at in the show that the duo may have been in a relationship or currently are. In the [now archived] official Clone High website, it is stated in the trivia: “Phil and Chris are not gay lovers, but admit that it would be convenient if they were”, another nod towards this possibility. This archived website can still be viewed via the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20080828033929/http://www.clonehighusa.com/index.html

The Secret Board of Shadowy Figures

Scudworth and The Board are constantly at a conflict as the two are at different sides of the same situation. The Board's leader is constantly suspicious of Scudworth and rightfully so, as it becomes evident that Scudworth is crazy or incompetent at doing his job. This prompts the Board to spy on Scudworth. Though Scudworth has been given chances to redeem himself notably at the end of "Escape from Beer Mountain" and as well in the episode "Film Fest". The final straw is when the Board's leader finds the tape labeled "Scudworth's evil plan to overthrew the Board and create Cloney Island: the movie", the Board swore to kill Scudworth.

Clone High Student Populace

Scudworth gets no respect from the student body whatsoever. This is probably since the students view Scudworth as a "weirdo" or a "creep".

 == Trivia ==
+* His name is a reference to the Scud Missile, a series of ballistic warheads used by Saddam Hussein in Operation: Desert Storm.
-** In the 2011 TV film ''Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension'', Doofenshmirtz meets his alternate reality counterpart, who has proven to be far more competent and successful in doing evil as he rules his Tri-State Area with an iron fist for 5 years.
+*It is implied in Changes: The Big Prom: The Sex Romp: The Season Finale that he may be neurodivergent.
-*** Doof was claimed as the main antagonist in the TV film, but his alternate reality counterpart took that role as he had bigger plans than anyone else.
+* He had a son named Brian, but lost him in a bet to Ren, who then ate him.
-** Although Doofenshmirtz is the main antagonist of the ''Phineas and Ferb'' series, he rarely ever met Phineas and Ferb, with the exception of the films, the episodes "Bullseye!" and "Night of the Living Pharmacists", and ''Milo Murphy's Law''. Plus, he has no direct conflict with the boys, as he is unaware that his battles against Perry is what made the boys' inventions disappear in the first place.
-** According to his ex-wife Charlene, she and Doofenshmirtz broke up because they did not find anything in common with each other. However, in the episode "Bee Day", Doof reveals that the real reason behind their divorce was because Charlene hated a poorly crafted hand puppet named Mr. Tomato that Doof made for entertainment, which Charlene actually concurred on. In spite of this, she maintained a civil relationship with him, and would often send him an alimony check every month, which would contribute to how he was able to buy parts to create his -inators.
-*** However, in the 2014 episode "Tales from the Resistance: Back to the 2nd Dimension", it is revealed that their alternate reality counterparts are still married to each other and that they formed a fake divorce for financial advantages. Also, unlike the original Charlene, her alternate reality counterpart happens to be as evil as her husband, as she staged a successful plan to free him from prison in case he was overthrown.
-** Doofenshmirtz's daughter Vanessa is annoyed by his constant megalomania and his attempts to make her evil. However, in spite of this, she does seem to appreciate of what he is trying to do to make her happy, and shows some recognition when he succeeds on it. Also, in a lighter note, Vanessa admits to being a little evil in nature, such as stealing a motor scooter, as well as snatching a doll from a little girl, and holding up Major Monogram and Agent P with a hair dryer when they attempted to arrest her dad.
-*** In the 2014 episode "Tales from the Resistance: Back to the 2nd Dimension", it turns out that Vanessa's alternate reality counterpart is just as evil as her family, as she helped them escape arrest for their crimes against humanity.
-** Doofenshmirtz had a balloon named Balloony during his childhood, which was later stolen by Mitch. Eventually, the balloon was returned to Doof following Mitch's second arrest, though it would be later popped before the events of the episode "This Is Your Backstory".
-** In the Halloween episode "That's the Spirit", Doofenshmirtz created a device to transfer a part of his mind to a cow so it would destroy grass out of hatred instead of hunger, which accidentally caused him to turn into a Were-Cow. It is unknown how he turned back to normal.
-** In the episode "Perry the Actorpus", he created a laser-gun to give everybody a big mustache. When he imagined his future victims with this weapon, he mentioned Fu Manchu (who is recognized for his notable mustache).
-** His last name means "stupid pain" in German, which somewhat relates to his tragic childhood and eccentric behavior.
-** There is a joke in which someone assumes Doofenshmirtz to be a "pharmacist" due to his lab coat, much to his annoyance. However, the joke was finally dropped in ''Milo Murphy's Law'' as no one refers him as such anymore.
-** In the ''Ducktales'' episode "The Dangerous Chemistry of Gandra Dee!", GizmoDuck faces a mad scientist named Atmoz Fear, who bears a lot of a resemblance to Doofenshmirtz (mostly in appearance).
