The series revolved around four kids: Billy O' Toole, Marcus and Ruby Snarkis, and Lydia Lopez. The series' main antagonists are Earl P. Sidebottom, AKA The Phantom and his rat sidekick Ratticus. Earl is a boy genius who some time before the series' beginning got a "D" grade in shop class and retreated to the school's sub-basement boiler room in shame. In there, he built a supercomputer capable of altering reality, which he uses to cause chaos in the school as revenge, leaving the protagonists to stop him.

The Phantom is the antagonist of the show, he is the boy genius who got a bad grade in shop class and he went to the boiler-room in shame. His personality is that of an evil genius. But the downside is that he is very childish. He built a giant super-computer which alters reality and depending on the theme of each episode, the computer can alter the appearance of the school. However, most of the Phantom's schemes usually backfire.
