The central protagonist, creator and owner of the laboratory, and a junior mad scientist; red-haired, 8 years old. He speaks with an Eastern European or German accent which is not explained; none of the other members of his family have distinctive accents, except for his Uncle O' Riley. Some believe that his accent is a play on Albert Einstein while others consider his accent to be an homage to the "mad scientists" of cinema from about 1930 to 1960, many of which had vaguely Eastern European or German accents. He considers his sister Dee Dee to be stupid and inferior, not to mention clumsy.... He also makes up a superhero alter-ego for himself to gain Major Glory's respect: Dexstar.He has a peculiar quirk of wrenching a nut into a piece of metal for no apparent reason. This tends to begin an episode- Dexter is "working", wrenching the nut, when his sister comes in and ruins everything. This motion is adressed as what could be a "genetic defect" in the Blackfoot episode.
