Timmy Turner vs Jimmy Neutron. An average kid that no one understands versus a boy genius. Who would win? This question may seem obvious considering the two have already met in the past and showed off their skills, but they never quite battled each other. Instead, they were trapped in each other’s universe and their sole mission was to get back home. Getting home to a completely different universe is already a significantly difficulty challenge but it was even more challenging when both Timmy and Jimmy’s friends and family didn’t even seem to notice that they were completely different people. Timmy and Jimmy were forced to find their own way home by using the people and resources they had at their disposal in a new and unfamiliar world.

Some of you may think the answer is obvious. You may be thinking, “Obviously Timmy would win. He has magical fairies who grant any wish he wants and there’s no competing with that.” However, some people say that science is like magic, and Jimmy Neutron is a genius who is constantly inventing innovative technology. When he is transported into Timmy’s universe Cosmo and Wanda don’t realize that Timmy is now Jimmy, and they almost blow their cover as Timmy’s fairy godparents. Luckily, Jimmy is someone who believes in facts and statistics and not magic so he deduces that they must be some kind of advanced artificial intelligence. Since Cosmo and Wanda can only grant wishes for their Godchild, Timmy, and they are unable to expose the truth about how they are his fairy odd parents, they go along with Jimmy’s theory that they are artificial intelligence and leave Jimmy without any magical assistance. Jimmy is forced to figure out how to get back to his world on his own.

Once Timmy appears in Jimmy’s lab, he immediately starts causing havoc by throwing everything in his lab around to find the perfect project to steal for his science fair back in Dimmsdale. Jimmy eventually finds Timmy trashing his lab causing an argument resulting in them accidentally switching Timmy’s wand with one of Jimmy’s experiments. After the argument, Jimmy is transported to Timmy’s world leaving Timmy all alone in his lab. Shortly after Jimmy disappears, his friends Sheen and Carl enter his lab looking for him but instead, they find Timmy. Since Jimmy is constantly doing experiments and many of them don’t always go smoothly, Carl and Sheen immediately assume that Timmy is Jimmy but looks different because of an experiment gone wrong. Regardless of how many times Timmy denies this theory, they don’t believe him. Timmy was on his own with no magical assistance for the first time in a long time but at least he was around the next best thing…technology.

As goofy as Timmy is, he seems to be a quick learner when he finds something fun and interesting such as Jimmy’s technology and if he ever needs help, he’s usually not afraid to ask for it. He is constantly getting into trouble by making fun wishes which lead to potentially dire consequences and he must always find a way out of it without exposing his secret that he has Fairy Godparents so that he won’t lose them forever. There have been times when he has been forced to deal with some of his problems without magic before and those are the moments when he always steps up and puts on a brave face to save the day. Jimmy is super smart and always finds a creative way to prevail by using his intelligence. His most impressive invention may be his very own robotic dog, Goddard.

Jimmy is independent and resourceful and is a bit more mature than Timmy Turner. However, since Timmy must constantly find a way to avoid his secret from being exposed, especially by Mr. Crocker, he becomes more sneaky, creative, and resourceful as time goes on. Although the power of magic feels unstoppable, there have been many times when Cosmo and Wanda’s wands malfunction due to the fairy Godparent rule book and when they aren’t near Timmy, he is practically defenseless. Jimmy typically relies on no one and solves his problems with his wits and technology. Given this information, if they were ever to face off in a fight Timmy would put up a good fight for a while but Jimmy would find a way to outsmart Timmy and Jimmy Neutron would be victorious!
