Sheen Juarrera Estévez is one of Jimmy Neutron's best friends in the Jimmy Neutron franchise and the main character of Planet Sheen. His birth date is November 16[1].
Sheen himself is also the tritagonist of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, and not-to-mention being the titular protagonist of Planet Sheen. Known for his obsession with the superhero Ultra Lord, he is one of Jimmy's best friends and Libby's boyfriend.
Overview[]
Sheen Juarrea Estevez is Jimmy's slightly older, hyperactive, addled best friend, characterized by his unhealthy obsession with the fictional superhero "UltraLord" and the television series, video games, and merchandising inspired by UltraLord. Sheen lives with his father and grandmother. Sheen's father makes a brief appearance in season one, although his face is not shown.[2] Sheen is noted for his extreme, constant bouts of hyperactivity, which he demonstrates multiple times per episode, along with his misdirected, limited intelligence and short attention span, to the annoyance of his peers. Alongside UltraLord, Sheen also appears to be interested in superheroes in general and in typical masculine subjects such as wrestling, and is strongly infatuated with Libby Folfax, becoming her boyfriend by the time of the program's conclusion. Sheen would later star in his own spin-off show, Planet Sheen, which premiered in 2010. In this series, he goes into Jimmy's lab and steals his new rocket ship, which crash lands on the planet Zeenu. Due to the series being short-lived, he is never shown returning to Earth. However, in "The Tomorrow Boys", a 2005 episode of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius that involves time travel, Sheen is shown to be living on Earth in the future. (Which implies that he does make it back to Earth from Zeenu as of his best friends rescue him sometime after the show.) His full name is a reference to the last names of both stage name and real names of father-son actors Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen, and Emilio Estevez.
Appearance[]
Sheen has tan skin, a triangle-shaped head, and dark brown hair that is usually spiked. He wears a turquoise ringer Ultra Lord t-shirt, black jeans, and a pair of turquoise and white hi-top sneakers. He always wears a pair of red or purple Ultra Lord underwear. In the movie and shorts, the ends of his sleeves and the collar on his neck were darker, almost in a teal color.
Despite being related to the man who invented spray-on eyebrows, Sheen is one of the few characters who do not have eyebrows or a chin. However, in his official 2D design, he does have eyebrows.
In Planet Sheen, Sheen doesn't wear his iconic Ultra Lord t-shirt anymore. Although he did wear his normal outfit throughout the pilot and he did wear it during his dream sequence in Cutting the Ultra-Cord his flashbacks in Is This Cute? and Keeping Up With the Gronzes and one of his pictures in Thanksgetting. Instead, he wears a blue-green and dark blue jumpsuit (with a Zeenu insignia on his right chest), blue pants, blue boots, and a black belt with a silver buckle.
Sheen's eyes usually are brown but in some episodes, there are mistakes. For example, in the second Fairly OddParents crossover special, his eyes turn indigo, and in the next crossover episode, his eyes are black.
Personality[]
Sheen has obsessed with a superhero called "Ultra Lord." He collects all the Ultra Lord action figures, cards, and quotes him daily. Sometimes, Sheen can be somewhat insensitive and miss the big picture of things. Sheen is 13 years old (he got held back a couple times as mentioned in "Operation Jet Fusion"). Despite worshiping Ultra Lord, he actually cares about his father and Libby most of all.
Despite Sheen's hyperactivity and peculiarities, Sheen has actually shown to be very helpful, able to provide some scientific insight or come up with a solution, albeit unusual ones. During their time on the Junk man's ship, the boy's brains have scanned, Sheen's brain has shown to be quite larger than Carl's. However, in most cases, whenever Sheen is about to display his aids, he is often inhibited by his low attention span and insane behavior, claiming to have sabotaged his own brain with TV and sugar. In The League of Villains, Sheen has shown to be a compassionate person; he believed there was goodness in Tee and was proven right.
Sheen has also shown to be very prone to seizures, as demonstrated in episodes such as Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion, Crouching Jimmy, Hidden Sheen and Keeping Up With the Gronzes.
