Professor Steven Boxleitner

Professor Steven Boxleitner is a character on the series Ruby Redfort looks like veteran voice actor Tom Kenny. Prof. Boxleitner, Ph. D, MOMA, M&A, LMNOP, was the kind-hearted but distracted scientist friend of Ruby, who let him study her for his book Superheroes and You, a Practical Guide. In The Amazing Colossal Adventures of Ruby Redfort, the story of how he is transformed from the good Prof. Boxleitner to the evil Dr. Two-brains is told. The Professor had created a device that would hopefully allow people to read the minds of rodents (practically and theoretically this could possibly be used in conjunction with various medical and experimental tests on lab mice to better understand how the experiments affect them) but when he was distracted by the wafting odor of his pastrami sandwich, his vicious test subject Squeaky hit the "Holy cow, don't press this button!!!" button, and their minds fused.

Boxleitner still exists, but in a Jekyll and Hyde sort of manner. He will occasionally break free and argue with the personality of Dr. Two-brains. One such conversation went as follows:

Boxleitner: (About holding the city at ransom for cheese.)  We shouldn't be doing this!

''Two-brains: Oh, what's the matter? Professor goody two-shoes doesn't want to take people's cheese?''

Boxleitner: No, I don't!

''Two-brains: Well, too bad! Because Dr. baddy Two-brains does! (Maniacal laughter)''

Also, after Ruby Redfort enters and interrupts this, Professor Boxleitner continues to struggle in a like manner:

Ruby: Talking to yourself again, Doc?

''Boxleitner: I... can't...help it--aagh!''

Ruby: (concerned) You can fight it!

''Two-brains: (darkly) Hello, Ruby Redfort! Doctor Boxleitner can't come to the phone right now! Is there something I, Dr. Two-brains, can do for you?''

So due to the duality of his personalities it is possible though not certain that Prof. Boxleitner could return to normal. There have been fewer "intrusions" of Boxleitner into Two-brains' dialogue, thus possibly indicating the gaining dominance of that personality over the original.

Note before zapped by his invention he showed a love of cooking and food. Seen in one part when he was distracted by his sandwich and rambling about pork chops smothered in onions and peppers.
