He also has multiple villain-alter egos such a brainwashing psycho who turns kids into slaves known as, Sir Stinks-A-Lot, a villain with an huge butt that smashes things known as Flabby Flaubous, and a warlock who bored people to stone with boring stories known as Blah Borelock. He is also the superhero known as Sergeant Boxers, who is Captain Underpants' replacement superhero.

Appearance[]
????
Personality[]
As Book 12 delineates, Mr. Meaner possesses a pitiful amount of intelligence, akin to that of a juvenile.
Although he frequently mistreats the students for no apparent reason, he, like the other educators at Jerome Horwintz Elementary, demonstrates expertise in sports and exercise apparatus. Following his villainy of Zygo-gogozizzle 24, Mr. Meaner acquired the cognitive capacity of a typical intelligent individual and was subsequently empowered to manage a company utilizing his newly developed product.
However, his intelligence also rendered him exceedingly self-assured; he absorbed Old George and Harold in an attempt to discover how to vanquish Captain Underpants, but failed to recognize that they were capable of employing the same strategy against him after absorption. This oversight ultimately resulted in his defeat.
He had very many different types of personalities in the show. His main pesonality is being incredibly dimwitted and bossy, yet with a comedic value. Despite this, he gets along well with George and Harold outside of gym and while camping overnight with the kids in season three, he tries (and fails) to impress them with his cardboard box story. And thought Season 3, aside from the "Blah Borelock" incident, he is less antagonistic toward the kids compared to the previous two seasons.
As Flabby Flabulous, his personality barely changes with only being slightly more murderous.
As Sergeant Boxers, he is much like Captain Underpants, except he loves weight lifting and sports. He thinks that he's really Sergeant Boxers after being hypnotized by Harold and George. He acts like Captain Underpants but in different ways, because they have two entirely different personalities, but they both try hard learning how to follow Harold and George's rules. His incompetence is worse than his alter-ago, such as he admits that he can't read and can't even count to five right.
As Borelock, he is a cruel, heartless person that will torture others by forcing them to listen to his stories.

Trivia[]
- His name is a pun on "Misdemeanor" and "Can he be meaner?".
- His supervillain alter-ago from the books, Sir Stinks-A-Lot, could be a pun for "Sure stinks a lot!".
- There was a running gag involving Mr. Meaner in the books. In George and Harold's comics, the principal and children call on Captain Underpants after something bad happens to the gym teacher, yet not caring about him. This is because many of Dav Pilkey's former gym teachers were extremely mean to him. Whether or not this was why Meaner was the final antagonist in the book series is unknown.
- In the first book, the Inedible Hunk ate the folding chair and the gym teacher, but the principal was more concerned about the folding chairs.
- In the second book, the Talking Toilets ate the gym teacher and scratched someone's car, the principal was worried if it was his car. At the end, the children were upset that the gym teacher escaped.
- In the third book, the children said that the Living Lunch Ladies were hungry for brains and attacked the gym teacher, the principal said he thought that they said they were hungry for brains.
- In the fourth book, the gerbil jogger 2000s knocked over some cupcakes and attacked the gym teacher, but the principal was more concerned about the cupcakes.
- In the fifth book, Wedgie Woman went into the teacher's lounge to drink all the coffee and then give the gym teacher a killer-wedgie, the principal wanted her to make a fresh pot.
- In the sixth book, the Tattle-Tron 2000 ran across the soccer field and squished the gym teacher, the principal was upset since they just planted the grass.
- In the seventh book, Wonder Nerd threw a tank and squished somebody, the principal was horrified until he learned it was the gym teacher, saying he wasn't important.
- Compared to other villains, he was truly able to defeat Captain Underpants, (by wiping him out of Mr. Krupp’s brain).
- The crowd being upset that he was alright in the end is a reference to George and Harold's comic Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets, in which the students in the school were sad that the gym teacher survived in the end.
- Sir Stinks-A-Lot is akin to, or a parody of, the Scarecrow, a Batman villain. Both are teachers who use gas-based chemistry to influence people's thoughts and frequently experiment on human life with little to no regard for the individuals they harm. Mr. Meaner, like many other Batman villains, escaped from the asylum before carrying out his schemes.
- His Rid-O-Kid 2000's first appearance is comparable to the Scarecrow's debut in the film Batman Begins, as they expose their gas compound to their unfortunate victims who are locked in their room.
- Mr. Meaner was a villain in the novels, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, and the first season of The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants. But at the start of season 2, he started to become a more of an anti-heroic character.
- It is implied in "The Heartbreaking Havoc of the Haunting Hack-A-Ween", that Grace Hutchins is dating Mr. Meaner, which must have sickened Harold beyond belief when the notion occurred to him and Mr. Meaner smirked at him.
- Because he says he can't eat dairy in "The Bad Beat of the Blah Borelock", it's plausible that Mr. Meaner is lactose intolerant or allergic to milk.
- In the same episode, Mr. Meaner is revealed to be colorblind.
- In the books and the film, the words 'PDS ALF' are written on Mr. Meaner's hat, but in the series, only PD is written.
- He, Mr. Ree, and Mr. Krupp are the only three Jerome Horwitz Elementary School staff members that are known to have a sibling.
