Dr. Two Minds

Doctor Two Minds is a villain on the book series Ruby Redfort based onTom Kenny Two-Minds in "Two-Minds Forgets". Originally known as Prof. Steven Boxleitner, he was turned into Two-Minds as he was preparing for an experiment to read the minds of rodents. In a moment of his distraction, Prof. Boxleitner's vicious albino mouse test-subject hit the "Holy Cow! Don't Touch This BUTTON!!!" and fused their minds together, though most of the mouse mind remains on the exterior of Two-Minds' head. In addition to this cosmetic change, Boxleitner's DNA seems to have been altered as well: in keeping up with the idea of an albino rodent, his hair has turned white and grown longer, his eyes are pink with a lack of pigmentation, and he has grown whiskers.

Prof. Boxleitner still seems to exist mentally, as evidenced in a few moments from the series: Two-Minds and Prof. Boxleitner will argue on occasion, and Two-Minds speaks still of the mouse mind as a seperately thinking persona. Due to the mousey influence, Dr. Two-Minds now has an insatiable hunger for cheese, and all of his crimes center around this. He creates a wide assortment of ray guns that vary from increasing or decreasing gravity to turning buildings or hair-gel to cheese. Most of his inventions have a mouse or cheese theme to their appearance, but do not always have a practical villainous use--such as his personal mouse orchestra.

In the book "Two-Minds Quartet" it is revealed that Two-Minds can sing; when that fact is taken into consideration with his creation of singing mice-rays and mouse orchestras, one can be led to believe he enjoys music on some level.

In the book "Two-Minds Forgets," he learns Ruby Redfort's true identity, as well as revealing it to the rest of the Redfort family. He captures them and plans on using his amnesia ray on them to make them all forget about Ruby and thus rid the city of her, but thanks to a fortunate act from JT, the ray struck everyone but Ruby and Clancy Crew. Two-Minds was affected the most and forgot his entire identity, even going to the point of wondering why a mouse-mind was stuck to his Two Minds from the book "Crime takes a holiday"head; the book does not reveal how he later remembers who he is.

He also showed a love for professional athletics in "Oh, holiday cheese".

On another note:

''The character is sometimes heavly ridiculed by parents and children alike for being a so called albino here are even letters sent out to Lauren Child to get rid of the character. ''
