Jessica Gordon

Jessica Gordon is a popular girl of Jerome Horwitz Elementary School and a supporting character in mh:besttvshows:The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She's little more than a stereotypical Mean Popular Girl who's obsessed with her locks and only thinks about herself.
 * 2) She has a girl posse consisting of "Sophie One" and "Other Sophie", and she regularly mistreats Other Sophie and treats Sophie One like she's her favorite Sophie. Almost every moment the latter's onscreen, she's being pushed around, assigned a task, or insulted by Jessica. On top of that, she makes a rule that the Sophies aren't allowed to speak. As for Sophie One, she gets little to absolutely no jobs at all and is always complimented. It happens all too often to label them all, but the worst example would have to be during a flashback in Season 3, where she, the only one who showed up at Other Sophie's Birthday Party, left almost immediately and 'took all her presents while she was at it!
 * 3) Her voice and "hars" are so irritating, they might actually surpass Mr. Meaner's "yep-yep-yep" -ing.
 * 4) She's also incredibly stupid, as she actually mistook a ground sloth for Other Sophie during their time in Ecuador in Season 2.
 * 5) She's arguably at her absolute worst in the episode "The Bizarre Blitzkrieg of the Bothersome Butt-erflies". As the butt-erflies invade the school, her number-one priority is protecting her HAR! Not only that, but she immediately accuses Melvin of creating them with no real proof, and when George and Harold try to admit to their mistake and get everyone to work together, she doubts them because "they don't do science, they do comics". And when they make a comic to try and tell her that they created the butt-erflies and not Melvin, what does she do? Believe them now that they're doing what "they do" and telling her the truth? No! Instead, she continued to accuse Melvin, along with George and Harold, and orders the other students to help her throw them out of the safety of the cafeteria to be eaten by the butt-erflies!
 * 6) * On top of that, she's incredibly stupid in that episode. Like when the butt-erflies managed to eat through the walls, she insisted that she would handle it on her own. I'm sorry, but when these monsters managed to eat their way through the walls of the school, what makes you think that you'll be able to fight them by yourself?
 * 7) * And after she and the other students do that, what do George and Harold do? Go back to the cafeteria to save them. Meaning they never learned a thing or received any consequences for nearly committing murder!
 * 8) ** And when Captain Underpants and the duo show up to save them, what does Jessica do? Take all the credit for herself and say that she's the hero!
 * 9) Season 2 had her get more speaking lines, which can be considered a bad thing given everything just discussed about her, and how now there'll be more of it.
 * 10) "The Shocking Showdown of the Staggering Sugamechanger" shows that her mother also uses the Sophies' mothers as her personal servants. So does that mean she was given their children by her mother and '''allowed to use them as her personal slaves?
 * 11) She gets absolutely no character development whatsoever and just stays the same for the entire series.
 * 12) Her hairstyle is incredibly unrealistic. Besides, how can she get her hair to be that big, let alone walk around with it every day like it's no big deal?

Good Qualities

 * 1) She's still a part of the M.I.S.F.A.R.T.S. and helps George and Harold whenever they need it.
 * 2) With the exception of Other Sophie at times, she doesn't act mean towards anyone else.
 * 3) While she did throw George, Harold and Melvin out of the cafeteria to be eaten by the butt-erflies, the other students just went along with it, so technically, they're just as guilty. But that still doesn't let her off the hook. Same for when they mistook a ground sloth for other Sophie.
 * 4) In the episode "The Flustering Mindless Woe of the Flushable Memory Wipes", after succumbing to the effects of the memory wipes, she and posses become involved in protecting the whales, and end up ditching school to protect them from whale hunters. But this could only be because she had her memory erased.
 * 5) Her design looks passable and cute.
 * 6) Jessica's character is supposed to be the mean girl stereotype. So we really shouldn't try to blame her for it.
 * 7) She acts like a nice friend to Sophie One.

Trivia

 * She shares her voice actress with Dressy Killman.
 * She's the first student to be turned into a Monster of the Week.
 * She briefly appeared in Book 6 of the original Captain Underpants book series, with an alternate character design.
