Hubert "Hugh" Beaumont Neutron is a major character in the Jimmy Neutron franchise. He is the husband of Judy Neutron and the father of Jimmy Neutron.

Official Description[]

"It's clear that Jimmy didn't inherit his genius from his dad, Hugh. Hugh is kind of goofy (OK , really goofy), but he's always in a good mood. When it comes to discipline, he's clueless, and leaves the hardcore parenting stuff to Jimmy's mom, Judy (who he affectionately calls Sugar Booger). Hugh collects wooden ducks as a hobby, but he's almost as fascinated by Jimmy's neato toys as Jimmy is. Strangely, he was president of the Brain Teaser Club in high school."

Appearance[]

Hugh is a tall man with brown hair that has long bangs swept to the left side, brown eyes, he wears small oval-shaped glasses, and he has an unusually shaped nose, which most Neutrons have (except for Jimmy Neutron and Baby Eddie). 

He usually wears a blue sweater vest with a red tie over a white shirt, navy blue pants and brown loafers with gold buckles.

In the pilot and shorts, he wears a blue suit jacket instead of a sweater vest.

Personality[]

Hugh's personality seems to be on the quirky side of things and is the sort of person who prefers to do things his way. Despite his odd quirks and absent-mindedness, he is fatherly, caring, well-meaning and good natured who absolutely loves ducks and pie.

He is shown to be forgetful at some times like in "The Feud" when he forgets that his neighbor and Carl Wheezer's father, Ebenezer Wheezer had already returned his lawn lopper weeks ago and later lent it to Sam Melvick. This caused him and Ebenezer to start a feud with each other and separate their kids from each other. He later remembers after Sheen was paid by Sam to send him a message through his Reach Out and Touch A Friend Program, revealing that Sam had his lawn lopper the whole time, and that both families (excluding Jimmy and Carl) had started a feud with each other all for nothing.

Sometimes, Hugh causes the show's problem when he messes with Jimmy Neutron's inventions. Hugh seems dim-witted but is actually very clever and competent (which Jimmy has obviously inherited). He loves to clean and polish his models of ducks and sometimes will even talk to them. He calls his wife Judy Neutron by the nickname "Sugar Booger". Hugh may have taken gymnastics at one point, as he uses this to evade Poultra in "The Eggpire Strikes Back." In the movie, he was fairly intelligent, hardly showing signs of any odd behaviors. For the rest of the franchise however, he quickly became the typical bumbling, but well-meaning and supportive dad. In spite of his odd behavior, his family respects and love him very much.
