Common Cold
The Common Cold is an eternally ill villain who wishes to spread his cold to everyone else in the world. He uses a machine to fire mucus from his nose at his enemies. He can routinely be defeated with orange juice. The Common Cold first appears in Operation: T.O.M.M.Y., in which Numbuh Two's brother, Tommy, aids the Common Cold out of jealousy for the KND, building a machine for him that transforms him into the "Flu Bug". Numbuh Two's mother used chicken soup to counter the machine and defeat the villain. The Common Cold never got a starring role in an episode again, but made several minor appearances. He is the boss of Operation: S.N.O.T.B.O.M.B.E.R in Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E.. In Operation: S.N.O.W.I.N.G., it is revealed that he is the uncle of Anna Worthington, and was responsible for making Numbuh 1 sick to keep him from interfering with Jimmy's plans.
Gameverse[]
Among all the other villains, the Common Cold joins the Brotherhood of Evil in Final Preparations. Common Cold's powers are also the result of poisonbending, a rare type of the sort who is eternally sick with an endless running nose.
In Legend of the Eight Firstborn, Common Cold aids his villains in the Siege of Star Station, against the Kids Next Door, until his Snot Bomber is defeated. In the War of Heroes and Villains, his illness is healed by Katara, and in his despair, he is frozen with his allies.

20 years later, he and the villains are freed, and he regains his illness powers due to being frozen so long.
