So far, in my quest to solve all of the tiniest mysteries spread through the Captian Underpants cartoon, I have thouroughly dissected the characters of Mr Krupp and Melvin, my two favorite characters. But this character is my best boy, for a reason, a reason I must not overthink. I'm getting sweaty, let's cut to the chase, shall we? Melvin-borg. His debut in the next to last episode of the first season was a twist that even I did not see coming, and is a huge part of why I adore the writing of this show so much. It should've seen it coming, all the clues where dangling in front of me, and yet it went just over my smol brain. Speaking of brains, Melvin-borg's brain is much different than Melvin's, so much I canonically consider him a separate character of his own. An alternate universe version of Melvin if you will, since Melvin consciously decided not to become him. His brain is also, a bit different in other ways. Idid diagnos Melvin with Asperger's Syndrome (ASD1?) and I most definitely believe Melvin-borg shares the diagnosis nonetheless, but there's so many small differences between him and Melvin. Most notably, he is much more compulsive and driven by emotions than Melvin. Multiple times he and Melvin had to suffer the consequences of his half-baked ideas, including the invention of the bees which later caused him to wreck, and require his robotic side to be formed. We can assume the wreck completely disabled the right side of his body, as well as the right side of his brain. Similar to Inspector Gadget or Gizmo Duck, his brain is basically a motherboard for the computer of his robot body, an organic battery for his inorganic functions. If the writers are keeping in mind that the right brain, stereotypically, controls logic and reason more strongly, meaning that his robotic side is now controlling their functions. This singlehandedly explains the more compulsive nature of Melvin-borg, but it takes a bit of explaining. Anyone familiar with robotics or technology in general has heard of algorithms. Now I can take this chance to complain about some certain online algorithms especially on this website, but I don't really feel like it, why don't you ask me later? Anyway, there are different types of algorithms, and you can watch Techocracy from Mr Enter to learn more, but for now I want to focus on learning algorithms. Learning algorithms are exactly what they sound like they are: They are a type of algorithm that is always learning new information. In light of this, it seems that Melvin Borg functions exactly like a learning algorithm, throwing ideas out at the wall and seeing if they stick. This is the opposite than Melvin’s technique, of intensely examining a situation before jumping into things. (basically Melvin is an INTJ while Borg is an ENTP, according to the Myers Briggs personality test.):
Free personality test - take it to find out why our readers say that this personality test is so accurate, “it's a little bit creepy.” No re
Another example of his half-brained antics is his lack of humanity. This was the biggest thing that made him and Melvin fundamentally different. Melvin borg was willing to betray George and Harold while Melvin was not quoting “I am not a monster” (In the final episode of season three he also states, clearly, that he is only human, to George’s surprise further proving my point here.)
Melvin may be selfish, easily triggered, and hyperfocused on his own goals, but deep down he adores George and Harold (esp George 😏) and would never betray them so coldly as Melvin borg did.
Now for some diagnosis!
Let’s see, definitely psycopathic, without a doubt. Possible PTSD from the car crash and killing George and Harold when he was 9 (courtesy of Blast-Processing on Amino). Narcissistic personality, check.
Just to analyze the character, we know he’s bitter over not making it into Elitenati Academy, secretly enjoys country music, and appearance still wears the same outfit as his younger self.
In conclusion Melvinborg shares a diagnosis with Melvin with the huge exception that he is an alternative timeline version of him and uses a learning algorithm to make up for his disabled right side as well as dealing with multiple traumas.
Also he’s bloody hot imo.
