Summary

He is a mad scientist and also the head of his own corporation, Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. By creating unusual contraptions for (most, if not all of) his evil schemes, he tries to take over the Tri-State Area. In every episode, his nemesis Perry the Platypus, stops him from doing so. He is also lactose-intolerant. It is unknown if the Doofenshmirtzs know the Flynns/Flechters personally but they have met on occasion.

Relationships

• Perry the Platypus: His nemesis who foils his schemes in every episode. They have a "relationship" in the sense that they love to hate each other. In "It's About Time", Doofenshmirtz finds another nemesis, Peter the Panda, and tells Perry to "move on and begin fighting other people". They end up on a parody of Dr. Phil's show, Dr. Feelbetter, in order to get counseling because of this new-found nemesis.

• Vanessa Doofenshmirtz: His sarcastic teenage daughter who spends every other weekend with him. They don't have the best of relationships. She doesn't seem to appreciate his antics, exhibited by her reluctance to help him with his schemes. In "I Scream, You Scream", she tries to convince her mother that he's really evil and that Perry the Platypus is his nemesis. Doofenshmirtz is convinced that she has "taken interest in the family business". Doofenshmirtz does seem to genuinely love her, but his tendency to assume she wants to be a villain like him, combined with his general cluelessness, causes problems. In "Dude, We're Gettin' The Band Back Together!", his mindset causes problems for him when he plans her surprise Sweet 16. He assumes that Perry is also her nemesis, and ties him to a giant firecracker as the "grand finale" of her party. He also decorates the location for the party with the sort of childish decorations she and her friends despise, and invites her friends without asking her, leading to potential embarrassment. (Vanessa is never too thrilled with his attempts to surprise her, as seen from the numerous baby and childhood photos of her in his wallet.) Fortunately, the ensuing battle with Perry trashed the room and the decorations, leaving the decor much more suited to Vanessa and her friends' liking.

• Charlene Doofenshmirtz: Ex-wife. Despite their being divorced, they seem to maintain a pretty decent relationship; according to her, they separated because they "wanted different things" (as she said in "I Scream, You Scream"). However, she's still not convinced that he's evil; she thinks that he's just a bit eccentric and has too much free time on his hands. She attends the same cooking class as Phineas Flynn's mother, Linda Flynn.

• Roger Doofenshmirtz: Brother.

Doofenshmirtz has a few ex-girlfriends. In "I, Brobot", he has relationship problems with his "new" girlfriend, and leaves a ton of pathetic messages on her answering machine. He attempts to erase them by waving a giant magnet about her house, but Perry foils his plan (yet again). In "Get That Big Foot Outa My Face!", he has a date with a woman he met online, but Perry gets caught in the middle of it and ends up stealing all of the attention away from Doofenshmirtz. In this episode, he mentions that it wasn't the worst date, because there was one who tried to stab him with a fork.

Schemes & Inventions (By Episode)

Most of his schemes, if not all, end in "-inator". With the exception of Shrinksphere-ia.

• Raging Bully: Creates the Slave-inator, which hypnotizes everyone into singing "Happy Birthday" to him.
• Candace Loses Her Head: Plans to dig to China and build a toll road to be rich.
• I, Brobot: Tries to erase all of the messages on his girlfriend's answering machine.
• Run Away Runway: Creates copies of himself to do all the waiting for him.
• The Magnificent Few: Uses brain-controlled termites to destroy all the wood in the tri-state area so he can sell aluminum siding.
• S'Winter: Plans to melt all the chocolate in the tri-state area and put it all in his own candy factory.
• Jerk De Soleil: Creates a device that makes everybody's voice higher, making his seem lower by comparison.
• Are You My Mummy?: Creates "wood-inator", which takes the wood away from a dam so he can have beach-front property.
• Ready for the Bettys: Creates a destructo-ray, but he doesn't do much with it though...
• I Scream, You Scream: Tries to create a space-laser-inator but ends up making a sundae machine instead.
• Toy to the World: Tries to build a Great Wall around the tri-state area and make people pay to get in or out.

• It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World: plans to destroy all the monster trucks in the Tri-State Area.
• Mom's Birthday: Creates a machine that will make everything he hates shrink until it can't be seen. (ex.: pelicans, instruments that start with the letter 'B', blinking traffic arrows, etc.).
• Journey to the Center of Candace: Builds the "Make-Up-Your-Mind-Inator" that destroys anybody that can't make up their mind. He also tries to "mix it up a little", telling Perry his plan before he captures him. (Perry defeats him quickly as his motivation is that Phineas and Ferb can't make up their minds).
• It's About Time!: Makes Perry jealous by replacing him with Peter the Panda. Later they end up on "Dr. Feelbetter" and he reveals that it was a plan to get secret agents together and freeze them for his giant chess board.
• Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together!: Plans a party for his daughter, Vanessa. He also ties Perry to a giant fire-cracker for the finale.
• Tree to Get Ready: Plans to ruin his brother's ceremony by covering him in Honey .
• The Ballad of Badbeard: Is moving into his new lair. However, he has two crocodiles and a trap ready for Perry.
• Greece Lightning: Creates a giant robot man, due to the fact that the platypus population is dropping because of humans.
• Leave the Busting to Us: Tries to control the weather with weather pellets and a machine. It is also revealed that Doofenschmirtz was interested in magic during his youth.
• Crack That Whip: Plans to destroy the statue of Rutherford B. Hayes, because he is known for his long beard. The plan arose because Doofenschmirtz was jealous of people who could grow facial hair.
• The Best Lazy Day Ever: Plans to make everyone else ugly, because he is not handsome in his view. He also creates the Slow-Motioninator to slow down Perry, so he can't stop him.
