Kimberly Ann "Kim" Possible is a high school student and freelance hero/vigilante. She is unusual not to mention the fact that she not only lacks a secret identity, but also remains on good terms with various law enforcement, government, and military agencies. For the most part, her schoolmates are aware of her work but don't do anything about it unless it somehow affects them directly. At school, Kim is the head of her cheerleading squad and a straight-A student, rather than as a misunderstood outsider/underdog as typical of the genre.
