| ~ Squeaky (possessing Dr. Two-Brains' body) revealing himself to WordGirl. |
Squeaky is the overarching antagonist of the PBS Kids show WordGirl.
He is an evil lab mouse who fused himself with the scientist Steven Boxleitner, transforming him into Dr. Two-Brains.
While possessing Dr. Two-Brains' body, he was voiced by Tom Kenny, who also voiced The Penguin in The Batman, Starscream in Transformers: Animated, Commander Peepers in Wander over Yonder, Mumbo Jumbo in both Teen Titans and its spin-off Teen Titans Go!, and the Ice King in Adventure Time.
Biography[]
Prior to being a permanent member of Boxleitner's anatomy, Squeaky was an ordinary but vicious lab mouse who's first appearance was in the short "What's Up, Doc?". When WordGirl playfully wiggled her finger in Squeaky's cage, he attempted to bite it, and the super-heroine used the opportunity to define the word "vicious". At the end of the short, Professor Boxleitner patted the top of Squeaky's cage and ominously said "Soon, Squeaky. Soon." It is possible that Boxleitner meant that he would soon be able to read Squeaky's mind.
Squeaky's mind was merged with Professor Boxleitner's very early on in the series, in the WordGirl short "The Crazy World of Doctor Two-Brains", here Boxleitner planned to use Squeaky for an experiment that he hoped would allow people to read the minds of mice. The distracted scientist left the rodent alone for a brief moment to check on his pastrami sandwich, and the vicious lab mouse pressed the button on the dashboard specifically labeled "Holy Cow!!! Don't Press this Button!", merging the mouse's brain (as well as some of his DNA) with that of the scientist, thus birthing Dr. Two-Brains.
Squeaky is briefly seen in The Narrator's flashback in "A Game of Cat and Mouse", when he recaps to the viewers how the good Steven Boxleitner became the evil Dr. Two-Brains.
In the episode "Mouse Brain Take-Over", Dr. Two Brains decides to let Squeaky take over his mind so that he may wreak a little extra havoc. Squeaky turns out to be extremely evil, quick-moving, more than a match for even WordGirl, but at the end of the episode, Dr. Two-Brains re-enters his mind (albeit with no memory of what had happened). The reason is that his henchmen doesn't really like Squeaky at all.

Trivia[]
- Alongside Miss Power, Squeaky is considered to be one of the most evil villains WordGirl has faced, due to intentionally fusing himself with Dr. Two-Brains, and being willing to kill those that stand in his way.
- In "Mouse Brain Take-Over", Two-Brains claims he was the one that merged Squeaky and Steven, even though it was clearly Squeaky who pressed the button that merged the two of them.
- When granted the ability to talk, he refers to everyone simply by their species rather than their names, (i.e. calling the henchmen "humans", Captain Huggy Face "monkey", etc.), even when WordGirl informs him that she is an alien, he calls her "Human-Alien girl".
- When Squeaky is in charge of Two-Brains, his appearance becomes more feral and unstable, coming off as more animal than human.
- Despite his evil nature, Squeaky is still terrified of cats.
