ABC Character Bio[]

Phil is one of Ted Crisp's star scientists. He's like Einstein, but nerdier and with worse hair. Phil can make anything from an egg that powers a car to a T-shirt that gives you a suntan. When he puts his mind to it there's nothing Phil can't do, except make his wife tolerate his existence.

As brilliant as Phil is in the lab, he is equally incompetent when it comes to life outside the lab. Luckily he doesn't spend much time outside the lab. Most of his time is spent with his lab partner and best friend Lem.

Phil is easily manipulated into going along with any of Veridian's insane whims. He's the guy who can be convinced to take a bullet in the head for the company. Someone has to test the new bulletproof hat. [1]
