Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible[2][3][4] is a fictional character from the Disney Channel animated television series Kim Possible (2002–2007). She was created by series creators Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle, and appears in all 87 of the show's episodes, from its pilot, "Crush", to its finale, "Graduation". Kim is an ambitious high school student who freelances as a renowned crime-fighter by thwarting the schemes of a variety of villains, while balancing her personal life, schoolwork, and complications associated with coming of age. She was voiced by actress Christy Carlson Romano who, having been a teenager herself at the time, related to the character.
Inspired by the lack of strong female leads in children's animation at the time, Schooley and McCorkle conceived Kim as a teenage girl who can achieve anything, wanting their daughters to have their own childhood hero reminiscent of James Bond. To have the character appeal to both girls and boys, they decided to reverse traditional gender roles by making Kim a capable action hero and her male best friend, Ron Stoppable, her comedic sidekick, but humanized her by keeping her non-superpowered and struggling in her personal life. The character's design evolved during early development of the series, from resembling a video game heroine or bombshell to a younger, more realistic interpretation of a teenage girl.
Kim has been positively received by critics, who described her as a strong role model and compared her to previous crime-fighting television heroines, notably Buffy Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She has also been praised by feminist critics, who commended her for defying gender norms and challenging negative stereotypes associated with cheerleaders and teenage girls. The character's popularity and impact have been cited as influences on subsequent female-led animated television shows.
In addition to two television films, Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time (2003) and Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama (2005), the character's likeness has been used in a variety of tie-in merchandise, toys, and a video game series. Actress Sadie Stanley played the character in the 2019 live-action film adaptation of the series.
