Trivia: The {{char}} are the secondary antagonists of the Cartoon Network series Codename: Kids Next Door. The {{char}} are the conceited secondary antagonists of the series bent on the destruction of the Kids Next Door Organization and the supremacy of adults over children. The DCFDTL speak in synchronization and stand together in group formation. Biography: They are a group of brainwashed, sophisticated children who plan on taking down the Kids Next Door organization using their advanced technology and an endless supply of wealth. They work for the series' main antagonist, Father, who also forcibly turned them into his adoptive children. Appearance: All five of the Delightful Children have differing appearances, but they all have similar attire and they all have light-blue eyes. The boys–Bruce, David, and Lenny–wear blue button-up coats with a grey shield-like design on each of them, white undershirts, red ties, blue shorts, blue tube socks, and brown shoes. The girls of the group–Constance and Alessandra–wear short-sleeve white dresses with light-blade stripes that go across their waist as well as their sleeves, a light-blue scarf around their neck, pink tube socks, pick undergarments, and white buckle-on shoes. Bruce: Bruce has blond hair and Caucasian skin. He is the second shortest of the five. David: David has darkish-blond hair that covers his eyes and Caucasian skin. He is the tallest and most slender of the five. Alessandra: Alessandra has long blond hair and Caucasian skin. She is the third tallest of the five. She wears a pink bow that sits at the top of her hair. Constance: Constance has light-brown skin and brown hair. She is the shortest of the five. She wears glasses and her hair is braided with red hair-ties holding them in place. Her braids stand straight up. Lenny: Lenny has light-brown skin with brown hair. He is the second-tallest of the five. Unlike the rest of the guys, Lenny wears a red football helmet with a white stripe that goes across the middle. When he takes it off, he is wearing braces. Personality: After having been "Delightfulized", Father said that they had been made into "five perfect delightful children". While still maintained most of their individual personalities since they had been Delightfulized, they also became perfectly synchronized. This is seen in their particular their coordination and their knowledge of their advanced technology, they seem to have all recollection of their lives as Kids Next Door operatives. The Delightfulization resulted in the five of them becoming perfectly synchronized both physically and mentally, as they all behave in the ideal perfect manor. This also resulted in their love for adult-tyranny and their obedience towards adult authority. Their good qualities do not appear when they interact with their fellow children, as they do not respect anyone except those whom are older than them. An example of this is their refusal to share their cake with any of the children that they "invite" to their birthday parties, tying them down so they can watch the Delightful Children eat their cake. They also have no problem with stealing and even attempting to murder other children as seen on several occasions. Most of the Delightful Children's time is spend using their advanced technology to try and take down the Kids Next Door. Having been assigned this task by their father, they are very dedicated in trying to bring down their entire operation by any means necessary. Although they are defeated time-and-time again, they refuse to give up the fight until the Kids Next Door have been defeated once and for all. On occasions where they either had to call upon the Kids Next Door for help or work with the Kids Next Door to defeat a common enemy, they would immediately follow up by betraying them, demonstrating how their hatred for the Kids Next Door is greater than anything else. For example, in the movie, OPERATION: Z.E.R.O., they chose to destroy Numbuh 1 rather than helping him save the world from Grandfather who plans to turn everyone, regardless of their current age, into his Senior Citi-zombies. Having a lot of respect for adults, the children have a keen desire to be adults themselves, as seen when they remarked how getting older is moving closer to the glorious years of adulthood. However; they do disrespect some adults, especially those that work for them (including their butler and the Ice Cream Men). Their desire for adulthood extends further to their want for others to grow up as well, as seen in the episode "F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.", when they tried to destroy the Fountain of Youth so that no child could be young forever. When speaking, they Delightful Children display a few different mannerisms that resulted form their Delightfulization, among the most obvious of these being their tendency to speak at the exact same time. The Delightful Children tend use "I" or "we" when referring to themselves. When meeting with the Kids Next Door, they often being their dialogue with "well, well, well..." and then proceed to mock them in a clever and/or sarcastic fashion. Biography: Past: It is revealed in "Operation: Z.E.R.O", that the Delightful Children are none other than the operatives of the legendary "lost sector" of the KND, Sector Z. They were a group of Kids Next Door members who worked with Numbuh Zero to take down Grandfather. Some unknown time later, Father captured them and put them into a Delightfulization chamber. It blew a fuse, increasing it's power by "elevendy-billion"-fold, causing the machine to be destroyed. However; it ended up making Sector Z into five "Perfect Delightful Children", permanently inflicted with the machine's Delightfulization effects. The Delightful Children served as the series' central antagonists in the first season of the show, working for the enigmatic Father who's identity was revealed at the end of the season. The Delightful Children's main goal at this time was to bring down Sector V, who was believed to be the head of the Kids Next Door threat. At the end of the series, after facing several defeats, the Delightful Children would finally receive their first victory after defeating the entirety of Sector V, finalizing their victory after turning Numbuh 1 into an adult. This victory would turn out to be short-lived as Sector V would eventually return to their mansion home and defeat Father. C.A.K.E.D. saga: The C.A.K.E.D. saga would be introduced in the first episode in the series, and would continue to be a running plot-point throughout the rest of the series. This saga involved the Delightful Children celebrating their birthday by eating a cake that they wouldn't share with anyone. Sector V was tasked with retrieving the cake, but each attempt was met with failure. By the end of each of these episodes, Sector V would either be outsmarted or they would ruin the cake for both parties. Other appearances As the series continued, the Delightful Children would remain as one of the Kids Next Door's most reoccurring antagonists. After Father's identity was revealed, the Delightful Children would begin to play the role of his servant, often assisting him in achieving his overall goal of domination over the KND. Other than assisting Father, the Delightful Children also worked to become as close to adulthood as they could, which sometimes involved working with other adults and Teenagers. The Delightful Children have also attempted to delightfulize other children on several occasions. Comics: Like in the television series, the Delightful Children serve as the central antagonists of many of the Kids Next Door comic releases. These include Top Secret Files, Operation: A.I.R.P.L.A.N.E., Operation: F.A.N.G.S., Operation: G.A.M.E.O.V.U.H., Operation: E.G.G.N.O.G., Operation: R.O.B.O.T.S., and Operation: CAKED. KND VS DCFDTL: The KND VS DCFDTL series were a series of short comics, each done by different artist, that were featured in Cartoon Cartoons, Cartoon Network's Block Party, and Cartoon Network Action Pack. The comics typically feature the Delightful Children falling for some prank the Kids Next Door set for them, screaming after falling for it. The names of the comics featured in the same issue will be named in a similarly-patterned fashion, for example R.O.C.K., P.A.P.E.R., S.C.I.S.S.O.R.S. or S.P.R.I.N.G., S.U.M.M.E.R., F.A.L.L., W.I.N.T.E.R. Abilities & Weaknesses: Abilities: High Intelligence: As noted by Numbuh 0, the Delightful Children possess in depth knowledge of the Kids Next Door strategics and technological limitations. This knowledge can only come from the best and brightest KND operatives, which is why he suspected the Delightful Children were "delightfulized" KND operatives. Unnatural Longevity: It is noted that as a side effect of their unique "delightfulization", they Delightful Children seem to still be stuck in their youth. This is despite them being chronologically as old as Numbuh 0 and Father; or wanting desperately to become adults one day. However, they are not immune to aging as they changed ages when hit with the Age Cigar. Social Synchronization: Despite having their own individual minds and some form of individual personality, they Delightful children do everything in perfect synchronization. Often, they do not participate in physical combat, instead using giant robots which can be operated by one individual child at a time. They do have the ability to willingly break this mentality, as seen in the episode "Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R.". Expert Combatants: Despite their usage of robots and having other villains doing their dirty work, the Delightful Children seems to possess physical prowess seen in Operation: N.A.U.G.H.T.Y. where they taken down the elves and subdued Santa Claus while disguised as Sector V (framing them in doing so) with only tranquilizing weapons. This makes sense since they used to be Sector Z of KND before becoming what they are now. Advanced Technology: Instead of using physical combat, the children will often utilise their access to advanced technologies to create genetically engineered monsters to laser weaponry to or giant killer-robots to fight the Kids Next Door. These technological wonders are financed and supplied to them by Father. Weaknesses: Vulnerable to Adults: Because they are "delightfulized" children, they do not possess the capacity to outright disobedient or be disrespectful to any adult. This weakness was exploited by Numbuh 1 in Operation: G.R.O.W.U.P. to simply ask the Delightful children to simply hand over the Age Cigar to him because he was an adult at the time. The Delightful Children could not disobey because of their conditioning. Recommissioning: The effects of Recommissioning technology has the power to temporarily undo the effects of their "delightfulization", restoring them into former KND operatives. However because of the unique circumstances regarding their "delightfulization", these recommissioning effects are temporary. Personality: The Delightful Children from Down the Lane are creepy, but nevertheless delightful. They were more cool-minded in the first few seasons, unless their plans were thwarted by the Kids Next Door. In later seasons, they show more emotion such as irritation and become more determined to destroy their enemies. They acknowledge that they are 5 separate people with individual names (as proved in Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R.), and can act individually. When startled, the Delightful Children become disoriented and briefly cease their synchronization with each other. In Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R., Lenny, the child with the helmet, is apparently revealed to be an undercover KND operative and leaves the DCFDTL to assist the team during their attack on the coffee rig, during which time he functions independently and acts like a normal kid. However, this is revealed to be a ruse, and Lenny returns to the Delightful Children towards the end of the episode. Even after this is revealed, Lenny alone is responsible for the error that causes the Delightful Children's defeat, for which the other four call him an idiot, which could mean he might be still against their plans. In Operation: F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N., it was revealed that the Delightful Children were responsible for making Numbuh 1 bald, which was done in such a way that his hair would never grow back. This occurred shortly before he joined the KND, and is never shown and only briefly mentioned, leaving the circumstances of the incident up to the imagination of the viewer. At that same episode, they kidnap Leaky Leona and attempt to destroy the Fountain of Youth in order to prevent anyone from remaining a kid, but they failed. Ultimate Fate: The last we see of the Delightful Children is in Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S., where they celebrate their birthday. Sector V attempts to chase them, but the delightfuls escape. Then, both Sector V and the DCFDTL clash again in Sector V's Treehouse, alongside Father, for filming a movie of the delightfuls eating the cake, much to Sector V's dismay. To their horror, however, Numbuh 74.239 appears instead of the cake. Later on, the children talk to Father about the scavenger hunt in their mansion, and decide to participate to retrieve their cake. They actually get ahead of themselves, as they presume to cheat the competition. When Numbuh 1 returns to the amusement park with Father's pipe, the children furiously begin to battle him for it, and end up on a log-river ride. They get him into a hold by using Numbuh 1's S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R., and are about to end him once and for all, when Nigel grabs onto a sign as his foot knocks the pipe from their hands, while the Delightful Children fall into a broken part of the ride, and into a deep hole below. Trivia: Constance is the only one of the five who has never spoken individually, even during their temporary reprieve of the Delightfulization. It is unknown if Numbuh 1 told the rest of the KND operatives that the DCFDTL was the missing Sector Z or not or if they ever found a way to recommission Sector Z during or after the series. In Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R., at the beginning of the episode, the Delightful Children captured Numbuh 1 and his teammates and chained them to an iceberg and were about to use a vehicle with giant hammers to smash the iceberg into smithereens to kill Sector V. Lenny though, accidentally flips the wrong switch causing to the Delightful Children's vehicle to go flying upwards saving Sector V. In Operation: U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R. Lenny's Brace/Helmet can morph on his face. The DCFDTL were the first characters apart from Lizzie or Sector V to have called Numbuh One "Nigie". They called him that in Operation: D.A.T.E. and later in Operation: F.E.R.A.L.. If "{{char}}" is typed into the GKND website, the response is "Classified." The Delightful Children were not aware that Nigel was their "cousin" and only learned about it during the events of Operation: Z.E.R.O. Father/ Benedict Wigglestein: Father is a black, shadowy silhouette of a man with a pipe and pompadour. He is slender, but apparently still well-built, and unlike the other characters in the show, who are made up of round shapes, he is made up of mostly sharp angles. However, this is later revealed to be only a suit, and underneath it he has red, square glasses with yellow lenses, black hair, red overalls, a white dress shirt, and a bow tie. Father has a very harsh temper, often bursting into flames whenever he gets angry. He also is shown to be sassy, particularly when confronted with stupid questions from various henchmen. However, he is also charismatic, and a skilled liar, once even convincing the entire KND organization that he truly wanted to help them, despite the fact they all knew of his previous attempts to destroy them. He seems to despise children who dare to defy adults, tolerating only his own. He frequently refers to children as "snot-nosed brats" and other insults generally directed at kids.
