"Hear me, Krabs! When I discover your formula for Krabby Patties, I'll run you out of business! I went to college!" — Plankton's first lines, in the episode "Plankton!"
Sheldon "Peter" James Plankton most commonly known as Plankton, is one of the ten main characters of the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise. He is a planktonic copepod who runs the Chum Bucket restaurant alongside Karen, a waterproof computer who is his sidekick and wife. The Chum Bucket is highly unpopular in Bikini Bottom because it serves chum, a type of bait made from fish meat.
He is the main antagonist of the franchise. There are also several episodes in which Plankton acts as a sympathetic anti-hero. Plankton despises his rival, Mr. Krabs, for running a successful restaurant because his own business rarely gets any customers. His main goal is to steal Krabs' secret formula for Krabby Patties and running Mr. Krabs out of business. Karen gives him a variety of plans to steal it, but their efforts always end up failing in the process.
Plankton is voiced by Mr. Lawrence, one of the show's staff writers. Stephen Hillenburg originally planned for Plankton and Karen to be one-time characters, but Lawrence wrote them into many episodes and proved that they could work as the main villains. Both Plankton and Karen first appear in the episode "Plankton!"
Plankton succeeds at stealing the formula in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, but his goal of world domination is eventually thwarted by SpongeBob. In "Friend or Foe," it is revealed that Mr. Krabs and Plankton were best friends during their childhood, but a dispute over the Krabby Patty secret formula ended their friendship for real, meaning that Plankton had a part in the creation of the Krabby Patty.
Biography Edit[]
Plankton has spent a long period of time trying to destroy the Krusty Krab by stealing the Krabby Patty forumula, a franchise owned and operated by Mr. Krabs. He's married to a computer named Karen. He always comes short of getting the Krabby Patty formula.
Early life and career Edit[]
Plankton's best friend from birth was his future rival Mr. Krabs. This history was revealed in "Friend or Foe". Plankton and Krabs were considered outcasts by other kids because Krabs was poor and Plankton was a nerd. When they discovered that money could bring them out of their poverty, they decided to make money selling hamburger patties, and set up a mini-restaurant in the local dump. At first, their burgers weren't successful; the first of their patties was tried by Old Man Jenkins, who was knocked out by the contaminated burger. Plankton started complaining about how Jenkins had been old and not able to handle the patty. Offended by this, Krabs tried to take the recipe from Plankton to improve upon. Plankton wanted to do this himself, but he only ended up with the corner of the recipe, which read: "And a pinch of chum." Plankton stormed out of the restaurant, and went to create his own recipe, using only his memory, the corner of the recipe, and science. At school, Plankton tried to sell his chum burgers in a chum bucket and failed, when Krabs succeeded with his Krabby Patties, which he had created by accident when Plankton had slammed the door. Ingredients fell in the patty batter, thus creating the patty. Plankton later named his restaurant the Chum Bucket, after the secret ingredient of the original unsuccessful patty recipe. Mr. Krabs named his restaurant the Krusty Krab. To this very day, Plankton has been single-mindedly obsessed with obtaining the Krabby Patty formula and running the Krusty Krab out of business, often going to incredible and often ridiculous lengths to do so; in "SpongeBob's Last Stand," for example, he builds a massive highway that goes straight through Jellyfish Fields and over the Krusty Krab, leading right to his restaurant simply to do so.He has supercomputer and tries to steal Krabby Patty's Formula.
In "Dunces and Dragons", it was implied that the fight between Plankton and Krabs began centuries ago when Plankton's evil overlord ancestor Planktonamor was vanquished by a Krabby Patty. Since there's not any feud between Krabs and Plankton in their early childhood, it's possible that these families settled their differences until the childhoods of Krabs and Plankton.
In a comic story, Krabs and Plankton are shown to have been college roommates. Their rivalry is shown to have been caused by a series of things, including Plankton being stepped on by Mr. Krabs (which didn't annoy him at all), being closed inside Mr. Krabs' book (which aggravated him a little), and Mr. Krabs going out with his date and Plankton's date (which started their rivalry). Since it was revealed in "Friend or Foe" that they were rivals earlier than college, this story is likely non-canon. Even in the present day of the series, Krabs and Plankton are occasionally shown to somewhat get along, such as in "New Leaf" and "Best Frenemies".
Plankton's restaurant, the Chum Bucket, has always been extremely unsuccessful, not only because of competition from the Krusty Krab and Plankton's rude and cruel treatment of the people in Bikini Bottom, but also due to the extremely poor quality of the food and Plankton's constant failure to clean the place up. As its name implies, the Chum Bucket serves chum-based foods, all of which taste terrible. In "Plankton's Regular", the Krusty Krab adds chum to its menu in an attempt to steal Plankton's single regular customer (who was in reality being paid by Karen to eat at the Chum Bucket and pretend to like the food there). The customer is disgusted by their chum, and says that it is the second foulest thing he has ever tasted (it can be inferred that Plankton's chum is the number one worst). This implies that chum is inherently disgusting, and cannot be made to taste good, although is shown to be false in the Season 7 episode "Greasy Buffoons." Plankton used excess grease from the Krusty Krab's grease trap that was dumped near the Chum Bucket to make his sales skyrocket (although it is unknown if this made the chum taste good, as Plankton could have been lying, and his customers could have been tasting only the grease, as the flavor could have covered up the chum's flavor).
It should be noted that in real life, chum is made of grounded up fish parts that are inedible to humans, such as heads and guts, and is used as bait for sharks and similar creatures. This would mean that Plankton is killing fish (or at least collecting dead fish) and serving their remains to other fish. This has only ever been touched upon in "The Krabby Kronicle," where SpongeBob prints a story claiming this. However, SpongeBob was being tricked by Mr. Krabs into printing absurd lies to appeal to customers, and this story was supposedly false. It also possible, that in the alternate reality the show takes place in, chum might be made of something completely different (although still likely disgusting), like in the episode Spongicus, Plankton named of many weird things that make up his chum, and fish parts was not on the list.
Plankton has no regular employees, and runs the Chum Bucket entirely by himself, although he spends most of his time in his laboratory, due to having no customers. Plankton actually runs the restaurant only when he has potential customers. Also, when he does have customers, he also uses artificially intelligent machines to cover the other positions.
Although it has been stated on multiple occasions that Plankton has never had a single customer, he has on several occasions had brief success, particularly in more recent episodes, such as "Spongicus" and "Chum Caverns". A fan once wrote to Stephen Hillenberg, questioning that, due to Plankton being a genius in the fields of robotics, inventions, and technology (including many other fields), why Plankton doesn't sell computers and the like instead of fast food (which would actually probably bring him much better success)? Hillenberg answered this with that Plankton has never gone this route, simply due to him having never thought of it before, and also due to the fact that Plankton is slightly incompetent, and also that he has terrible communication skills, he would probably ignore the person's idea until the last minute.
Fears Edit[]
In the episode One Coarse Meal, it is revealed that Plankton is afraid of whales, enough to go insane. The reason is because a pod of whales ate his ancestors (also because whales eat plankton). He also fears his plans failing so many times.
Trivia Edit[]
- A running gag is that in many episodes he appears in (including the movie), he gets squished.
- It was revealed in Single Cell Anniversary, that Plankton is not actually green, his outfit is. Karen removes the green and we see an underwear clad pink plankton embarrassed of his nakedness. He also has a rack with identical green suits.
- Plankton is left-handed.
- Plankton appears in the "United Plankton Pictures" logo.
- Interestingly, although his name is "Plankton," he bears more resemblance to the real-life class of organisms, Copepoda (Cyclops), which feed on phytoplankton. Do note that plankton are known to come from a different Kingdom than Copepods.
- Despite all of Plankton's schemes, he has only been arrested four times, in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Krabby Road, Fiasco!, and Jailbreak! (he escaped from the cops in "Goo Goo Gas").
- Plankton should be able to remember the Krabby Patty Secret Formula from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, although Stephen Hillenburg said that chronologically, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is the last part of the series. And also, he could have been in jail for long enough to forget and want to get the formula again.
- It seems odd that Plankton wants to steal the Krabby Patty Secret Formula and make money from it, and in fact succeeded in accomplishing both in the movie, when doing so should have led to him facing a lawsuit for plagiarism and/or copyright infringement. Perhaps Mr. Krabs, due to his miserliness, never bothered to copyright the formula, and thus, Plankton could steal it without running the risk of being sued.
- He was called "Shelly" in SpongeBob's Last Stand.
- Plankton is college educated, which has become a running gag throughout the series, as he would usually shout, "Eye went to college!!!!!!!!!!!!!" while pointing at his eye as a pun when Mr. Krabs foiled him.
- Steven Hillenburg says that chronologically, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is the last episode. However, in the movie Plankton says he's never had a customer, but in Chum Caverns and Chum Bucket Supreme, he has had at least, and usually more than his only competition, the Krusty Krab.
- Plankton is afraid of whales in "One Coarse Meal", but not in "The Algae's Always Greener."
- Out of his whole family, he seems to be the smartest, as his family is shown to be quite clueless and unintelligent.
- His family is made up of hillbillies (or what they appear to be), and he appears to have forgotten their stereotype after all these years, as in their episode, he believes they are "criminal masterminds" and when he sees them, he is shocked and says "I've been away from home longer than I thought." It is possible that after this, he was disgusted by their stupidity, and possibly taught them to be smarter.
- His first name is revealed in "Plankton's Army".
- According to the TV movie "Truth or Square", Plankton has made 1,003 failed attempts to steal the formula.
- At 2 inches tall, Plankton is actually gigantic for his kind. They, of course, did that to make viewers see him on the screen.
- Plankton actually should be half the size of SpongeBob, as SpongeBob is 4 inches tall.
- Plankton is the smallest of all the main characters and the smallest person in Bikini Bottom.
- In "Plankton!", he seems very small.
- In "Plankton!", Plankton has a lab, which is just a real Labrador.
- In later episodes, when SpongeBob holds Plankton in his hand, he's bigger or SpongeBob's hand is smaller (compare "Plankton!" with "Single Cell Anniversary" or "The Main Drain").
- In "The Main Drain", Plankton is unusually bigger than other episodes.
- He and Mr. Krabs is the only in their family to ever make friends with each other, their predecessors are enemies.
- In several relatively recent episodes, the inside of his mouth was purple. But that was corrected back to red in later episodes.
- Early in the series, Plankton is considered the primary villain of the series. Later, as Krabs becomes more dramatically greedy and Plankton becomes less dramatically evil, the role of the main villain of the series becomes more debatable.
- Plankton is assumed, by many, to be just as old as Mr. Krabs. This is understandable seeing as how they both knew each other since birth, which was noted in Friend or Foe. But it is possible that this is ignored in later episodes.
- Plankton has inventions for equipment in contrast to Mr. Krabs' spy technology.
Family Edit[]
Plankton's "wife" is his computer system Karen, even though neither of them fully consider the other their true soul mate, and their relationship is a very troubled one, although it was slightly mended by the events of the episode, Komputer Overload.
Being a microscopic organism, Plankton's biological family numbers in the thousands. In "Plankton's Army," he recruits his entire family to help him steal the formula, thinking them all to be criminal masterminds like himself. However, much to his surprise, his family consists entirely of uneducated, red-necked hillbillies. These Relatives include (but are not limited to): Clem Plankton, Zeke Plankton, Rufus Plankton, Jeke Plankton, Billy Bob Plankton,Billy Jim Plankton, Billy Billy Bo Billy Banana Fana Fo Filly Plankton, Doug Plankton, Ennis Plankton, and Rainchild Plankton, the only ones named.

Trivia Edit[]
- In "It Came From Goo Lagoon," Plankton is called a "creepy bacteria" by Sandy.
- There is a running gag in many episodes he appears in (including the movie), where he is squished by a person. Another running gag is him being projected throughout the air, often screaming a sentence or a prolonged word meanwhile.
- During the original series, Plankton didn't make a lot of appearances, but in the newer episodes, he appears in lots of them.
- It was revealed in "Single Cell Anniversary," that Plankton is not actually green, his outfit is. Karen removes the green and we see an underwear clad pink plankton embarrassed of his nakedness. He also has a rack with identical green suits.

Perhaps Mr. Krabs, due to his miserliness, never bothered to copyright the formula, and thus, Plankton could steal it without running the risk of being sued.
- However, it is explicitly stated in "Imitation Krabs" that duplication of the Secret Formula is punishable by law, indicating that Mr. Krabs did patent the formula at some point, meaning that, even if he was successful, Plankton would have been arrested. In the movie, he claims that Mr. Krabs willed the formula to him, and given how detailed Plan Z was, he probably had a forged will in hand just in case anybody asked.
- He was called "Shelly" in "SpongeBob's Last Stand."
- Plankton is college educated, which has become a running gag throughout the series, as he would usually shout, "'I went to college!"
- Steven Hillenburg says that chronologically, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is the series' end. However, in the movie Plankton says he's never had a customer, but in "Chum Caverns" and Chum Bucket Supreme, he has had at least, and usually more than his only competition, the Krusty Krab.

- As seen in "Evil Spatula," Plankton revealed to have a room full of spatulas in the Chum Bucket.
- Oddly enough, Plankton was not afraid of the Whale Cellmate in the episode "Jailbreak!," as it was revealed in "One Coarse Meal," Plankton is terrified of whales.
- In the episode "Sweet and Sour Squid," Plankton is revealed to have ears.
- Arguably, the movie is the only time Plankton turns truly malevolent, and that is perhaps the film where most reaches the summit of malignancy: He had to almost kill Mr. Krabs, enslaved all citizens of the Bikini Bottom, and hired a mercenary to kill SpongeBob and Patrick.
- Plankton found Mr. Krabs' life to be worse than his life (because Plankton ruins Mr. Krabs' life), when he experienced it in "The Algae's Always Greener" and "Spy Buddies." In the former episode, he found numerous reasons that make Mr. Krabs' life difficult:
- SpongeBob is always asking him for a Weekly Performance Review on Tuesday and throws a minor temper tantrum if Plankton refuses. He also suffers nervous breakdowns when found guilty of minor errors, such as using too much sauce on a Krabby Patty or giving a customer a large drink when a medium sized one was ordered.
- Squidward, the lazy grumpy pessimistic worker at the restaurant, complains to Plankton that he doesn't want to work with SpongeBob. Later, when Plankton put him in charge of fry cooking, a customer got angry because the Krabby Patty that Squidward cooked was very ugly, disgusting-looking, and hideous.
- Pearl, his virtual reality daughter, throws a big temper tantrum because she doesn't get more than $1.
- Krabs tries to steal the Krabby Patty formula while naked (which Plankton actually does in the show's reality), with an annoying persistence that finally convinces Plankton that Mr. Krabs' life is "just not worth it."
- In all but one of Plankton's appearances in season 5, he played a major role. (The exception is "Stanley S. SquarePants").
- He learns about teamwork in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.
- It is never revealed what the "J" in his name actually stands for.
- He has a soft spot for Spot.
Errors Edit[]
- Plankton's sizes drastically vary in the episodes: in some episodes he is the size of a jellybean; in others he is the size of a Krabby Patty; and in still others, it is difficult to see him without a magnifying glass. Sometimes, his size even changes within an episode. The only consistency is his being small enough to fit in the palm of one's hand.
