James Isaac "Jimmy" Neutron is the main protagonist of the series and movie. He is named after scientist, Isaac Newton, and James Chadwick, who was nicknamed "Jimmy Neutron," because of his discovery of the neutron.

Jimmy is an 11-year-old genius inventor, but his inventions seem to cause more destruction than anything and it is usually up to him to stop them. He lives in Retroville with his robot dog, Goddard, who is named after Robert H. Goddard (a pioneer in modern rocketry), his father, Hugh Neutron, a bumbling car salesman and duck-lover, and his mother, Judy Neutron.

Jimmy has a disproportionately large head, which he needs to house his large brain and his I.Q. of 210. In many episodes, his classmates are angered, because he is so intelligent. This brain, a source of constant comment, allows him to invent devices, that accomplish even the impossible. They rarely function as intended, however, and most often embroil his friends or the entire town in some crisis. In the moment of crisis, he will urge his brain on saying, "Think, think, think!", where upon viewer enters Jimmy's ear and ges into his brain to observe its inner workings as well, as to relive a scene from the early part of the episode. Jimmy will then shout, "Brain Blast!", and arrive at the solution for whatever danger he has landed himself, his friends, or his town in. But in the 3rd season, he seems to stop Brain Blasting and comes up with ideas right away.

Jimmy's intelligence was assumed to not come from his father's side of the family, but from his mother, as shown in the episode, "See Jimmy Run" and a few other episodes. But in the episode, "Clash of the Cousins," there is a family reunion, where he searches for somebody in his family, other than himself with the "genius gene", which turns out to be the baby, Eddie Neutron, Jimmy's evil cousin, who becomes one of Jimmy's enemies in 2 other episodes. Jimmy's intelligence may come from his mother, or because of the rare Neutron family genius gene, or a combination of the two.

Jimmy's inventions include Goddard with many functions, a time machine, and Nanobots. He has several gum and candy-based inventions, which include The Neutronic Air Gum, that allows humans to breathe under water, gum, that allows one to memorize books, and candy, that satisfies all the tongue's taste buds. After eating such candy, humans develop a physiological need (addiction) for it.

Jimmy has several inventions to help him with transportation, the most frequently employed being his flying rocket and his hovercar. He also has a game pyramid, which allows players to actually go inside their favorite video game, following with a Cloning Machine. In the video game, he makes several inventions, similar to the series. Many times, he creates different types of advanced spaceships with spacebuses, spacebikes, being able to use amusement rides to create some, and finishing with his favorite, the hovercar, which he uses almost frequently. He creates these inventions in an extensive lab located under his clubhouse, which remains accessible to him alone by means of DNA scan.

Jimmy's wardrobe consists almost exclusively of red T-shirts, that sport his trademark symbol of electrons, circling a nucleus. He also wears blue jeans and a white Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars. His underwear consists plaid boxers.

Jimmy is shown to be quite irritable around most people, the exception being his friends. He can be friendly at times, that he needs (or wants to be), but can come off as a smart alec or nerd occasionally. Jimmy's religious beliefs are uncertain. While he celebrates Christmas (as seen in the Christmas special of the series) and other holidays, his scientific interests may point to Agnosticism or Atheism; however, these subjects are rarely touched on the show, due to its viewers. Jimmy is quite charming when he least tries to be, such as at the party, that he throws at his parents' absence in an early episode.

Carl Wheezer and Sheen Estevez accompany Jimmy on nearly all of his adventures. Carl is obsessed with llamas, also secretly in love with Jimmy's mother, and Sheen is obsessed with UltraLord. They need Jimmy and his inventions to quicken their lives. Normally, they play the foils to Jimmy's genius and sometimes solve the episode's crisis with some innocent or insane observation. Other times, they merely cause the trouble. He is voiced by Debi Derryberry.
