Thing is she's not really indifferent. She's calm, cool and collected for the most part but she clearly cares very deeply. She has passion for candy and ice cream based treasures and history. She feels very deeply about her friends and gets very hurt by betrayal. It's clear the reason her and Cree are so bitter enemies, even more so then the other villains in the show is because her own sister turned against the KND. She's Probably just so emotionally healthy that she can just let the unimportant stuff roll off of her back.
Another theory: Abby and Cree were pushed into being like their brother. I remember an episode where Abby mentions an older brother who already moved out of the house.
Numbuh 5 role was the veteran, she’s been around long enough to see things, even watch her own sister leave the knd. So of course most of the things wouldn’t bother her under one condition, that condition being she was not in charge. The only reason numbuh 1 was in charge was numbuh 5 didn’t want to be. She ends up the leader only when numbuh 1 has been compromised. Often times talking sense into him and being a source of comfort when he’s stressed out. The reason she didn’t want to be leader was of how blamed herself for her sister, seeing herself as not good enough to be a knd operative, let alone a leader. And that’s what makes her so good!
I heard number five also has an older brother who has kids of his own she mentioned that in one of the episodes where the rest of the team assumed that hospitals were kidnapping babies to be transforming them into adults since number one and the others don't know where babies come from it would make sense for number 5 to be the smart one out of all of them she even said that she has an older brother who has kids of his own which can only mean one thing she has more outside world experience in the rest of her friends and maybe her personality and her chill attitude Minnesota to do with her mystery older brother that being said what do all of you think🤔❓️
If number 5 got the way she was from her sister is possible she also got some from her brother? In the baby hospital episode we learn number 5 has a brother old enough to have kids and move out the house. Could never seeing her brother be a factor too?
Codename Kids Next Door was a show I loved as a kid, but as an adult I realized it was probably the darkest show ever on Cartoon Network. Yes, I'm serious. Shows like Courage The Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy, & The Powerpuff Girls had darker imagery & monsters, but K.N.D. was the darkest show in terms of its concept & execution. What I mean by this is that it was probably the only kids show that regularly had episodes that had plots involving genocide. Yes, really think about how many times the villains were trying to wipe out the K.N.D. (sometimes through death & sometimes through other means), & it wasn't played as dark humor like in Courage or Billy & Mandy? Furthermore, think about how many people likely died off-screen we didn't realize as kids from the constant fighting between the K.N.D., teens, & adults? So yeah, looking back this series was arguably the darkest Cartoon Network ever aired.
Did we all forget the time Father nearly baked all the kids in town into a giant birthday cake for the Delightful Children? Or the fact that he permanently delightfulized the Delightful Children to where recomissioning them was only temporary? Imagine how worried their parents must have been knowing that their kids went missing and had their minds forever warped to behave like creepy, good-mannered, violent children? My hat goes off to Sector Z. If the G:KND ever becomes a reality, I hope they find a way to reverse the effect and bring them back. *"TELL... THE KIDS NEXT DOOR... WE MISS THEM...!! AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!"*
Honestly, it wasn't that dark. The Powerpuff girls has a concept where the girls traveled into the future and Townsville is a hellscape. The implications alone are horrifying
I actually can see the logic in the theory about Abby's parents being indifferent causing Abby's personality. Kids mimic the actions of the people around them, that can be their friends, teachers, people they admire in their personal life, and yes their parents. We're a social species, we strive to make connections and as kids we need those connections, so we often mimic others around us so we can build that connection. But this doesn't mean we always copy GOOD or HEALTHY behaviors. Kids may act mean or lash out if they are surrounded by a toxic friend group or have an abusive home. I personally grew up with an abusive father, but a kind and caring mother, so I would mimic both my parents leading to a mix of an unpredictable, yet caring, personality growing up. Now, I favor the more caring side, but I still have some emotional issues.
You realize the joke of of their parents is that they are cliff and Claire Huxtable parodies. They’re not necessarily French. They’re just trying to make a joke of Felicia Rashad and Bill Cosby.
@@Jabrayer1027 The mom sounds like she might have one. But I'm pretty sure anyone jumping to her being a lawyer is absolutely following the throughline on her being a Claire Huxtable reference.
Well, Sector V parents aren’t perfect or sometimes not so bright but they are actually good parents something Monty never had when he was a child or that Ms. Sunban wasn’t allowed to have a toy when she was a child. I have a theory that Sector V’s parents has a horrible childhood and doesn’t want their children to have it rough too so that’s why they let them be in their treehouse a lot.
A doctor and a lawyer huh? Sounds like another show I'm familiar with. Its also fitting because in some part her dad was based on the (very cancelled) star of that ahow
Here is a theory, Number 5 is just a cool, stoic and collected person naturally, not every behavior has to be the consequence of some event, parenting or disease/condition, dome people are naturally just like Number 5 is 😅, I feel and think it is as simple as that
it's really not this deep. abby seens to have loving parents and there are no implications that they ever pushed her to be as good as her sister. cree is established as a formidable foe to the knd, but she's not shown to be particularly gifted in terms of academics. abby on the other hand seems to be multi-talented (honor student, her macaroni art displayed on a museum, able to play the piano) and she doesn't seem very stressed about it. she's a great friend, a great leader and and a cool girl to be around. these theories have little to no ground to stand on lol
I think being compared to Cree is probably the most likely theory that makes sense to me. It was revealed that when Cree was in the KND, she was actually the leader of sector v, and wanted to take responsibility of the failure of a mission, despite Maurice saying the mission was his idea. At the time, the team consisted of Cree, Numbuh 5, Maurice/Numbuh 9, and Numbuh 8a and 8b the twins I believe. Cree was also revealed in Operation Space, to have been the “best fighter” in the KND at that time. Numbuh 5 actually really looked up to Cree, as she wears the hat her sister gave to her. As we all know, Cree betrayed the KND. This was very hard for her, and made Numbuh 5 not want to fully see her own self worth, potential. She was afraid by becoming a leader, she may follow the same path as her sister. That’s why she was okay with just being in second in command to Numbuh 1. But as we know in the series finale, when Numbuh 1 leaves earth, he tells Numbuh 5 that she always was the better leader, and that it was time for her to realize that. He even gives her his trademark sunglasses to symbolize that she is ready to be a leader, and not follow her sister footsteps.
For the way the theories were described here, I feel like the people who came up with them weren't paying attention to the show. 1. If my memory serves me correctly, Abby idolized her sister and practically worshiped her older sister, and Cree was super protective and supportive of Abby up until she turned into a teenager and turned a traitor. So I don't see that being an issue. Even after she turned trader, she still does care about number five, they just happen to be on opposing sides. 2. Her parents are an in-universe parody of the parents from The Cosby Show, Mr. and Mrs. Huxtable, played by Bill Cosby and Felicia Rashad. I can't see either of them as pressuring their kids, especially not Abby's dad from the little we've seen; if anything, he seems supportive to the point of being just plain annoying & embarrassing. 3. Okay, there's a lot to say about this one. Yes, people with high levels of emotional intelligence, can have a higher IQ. But the opposite is also true. Nevertheless, having high emotional intelligence doesn't exactly dictate one morality, As the most cruel and counting people often also have high levels of emotional intelligence. That's what makes it easier to manipulate others. 4. See 2
I agree that Aby had I high IQ, she may not have been a genius, but she was intelligent, resourceful, and responsible. Even Numbah 1 (Nigel) looked to her for guidance and was easily seen as second in command and defacto leader should something ever happen to him.
Numbuh 5 has always been my favorite. She and her sister, Cree made be enemies, but they still loved each other. This show has some secrets that needs to be discovered 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🥹🥹🥹🔥🔥🔥

Random Fact about Numbuh 5: She's the only operative with more than one sibling. She has an older brother according to that baby episode.

I agree entirely! That just shows once and for all that we must put our childish ways behind us and focus on more important things.

Cree was number 11, not number 5
Thank you
He says Cree was numbuh 11
Because numbuh 5 is the true leader of the kids next door when numbuh 5 she's smart she's quiet also I believe numbuh 5
Here’s the thing, Abby and Cree were actually really close before Cree aged out of the organization. That’s when they became enemies.
Kids next door Abigail Lincoln she's my favorite character 👍
I guess that explains why shes almost always referring herself in third person. She just doesnt care.
Well her father was Bill Cosby so 🤣good enough reason to act indifferent.
Beacuse her dad is basically bill cosby?
Yikes.
I love you Numbuh 5!!!!! My favorite of all the KND!!!!
All this time, I was thinking that Bill Cosby was her dad😂
Number 5's attitude always reminded of Jazz from Transformers
Cree was actually Numbuh 11 when she was in the Kids Next Door
Number five was always my favorite character of how cool she was and laid-back
It's not cree's fault she became evil
Isn't Cree Summer amazing?
Yeah, she’s good

actually Cree was numbuh 11 when she was a member of the KND, numbuh 5 calls her numbuh 11 in an episode
Abigail’s mom has a French accent but not her dad. Also, their last name is Lincoln which I don’t think is a common French surname.

Actually no 5 has an older brother too

Cree was known as number 11 not number five
Out of all the KND parents, number 5’s parents still didn’t show their faces.
She also has an older brother who also has kids

I think having Bill Cosby as your dad was bad
or maybe it's just her personality and not everything needs to have a tragic reason behind it
Cree was number 11 not number 5
