It appears that he has come into his own since he and the other minions came to work for Gru.īob should never be underestimated, however. He also, during his youthful adventures in London, adopted a friendly sewer rat as a pet (whom he called 'Pussy', perhaps thinking it was a cat). Back then, Bob was very shy and apprehensive, and carried around a teddy bear he called 'Tim' (see picture below). He set out with Kevin and Stuart, some time before the minions met and came to work for Gru, in order to find some new and exciting opportunities for their people-as well as the biggest, baddest villain to serve-finding themselves briefly (and tumultuously) in the service of Scarlet Overkill, the greatest super villain of the late 1960s. He is also a little shorter than other minions of his body type (the short, round, heavy minions).ĭespite being a boyish and apparently young minion, Bob's been around a long time. His eyes each have their own iris color.his right eye being green, and his left being hazel brown (a condition known as ' complete heterochromia iridum'. Unlike the other minions, he appears to be rather younger (at least in voice and appearance), and has a more innocent, boyish personality. Just don't put an electric guitar in his hands, or he may work himself up to a fever pitch, throwing out famous guitar riffs and then pulling a Pete Townshend-style stage move!Ībove: Stuart, on stage in front of London's Buckingham Palace in 1968, absolutely shredding on an electric guitar, a gift from the United Kingdom in return for his part in defeating Scarlet Overkill and restoring Elizabeth II to the throne as rightful queen of the British Empire.īob is a clever and multi-talented member of Gru's vast ensemble of minions. When he was younger, during his adventures with his fellow minions, he displayed a passion for playing guitar, and was a pretty fair musician. In the minions darkest years, before they ever came to meet and work for Gru, Stuart teamed up with Kevin and Bob to set out in search of new and better opportunities for their brethren, as well as the biggest, baddest villain to serve.finding themselves briefly (and tumultuously) in the service of Scarlet Overkill, the greatest super villain of the late 1960s. He's also pretty darned addicted to video games! He has a tender side, however and, like Jerry, ends up making a pretty effective babysitter and playmate for Margo, Edith and Agnes. Stuart is a minion of many varied talents, but seems to serve specifically as one of Gru's infiltration specialists, and is handy with disguises and role-playing (not in the gaming sense) as well. Thus, when people think of a minion named 'Kevin', this is usually the fellow they're associating the name with.) This particular Kevin appears much more frequently than his earlier counterpart.first being seen in Despicable Me 2, and then featuring in Minions as a primary character. Each is an entirely different type of minion. ( NOTE: Officially there are two Kevins in the Despicable Me franchise. It was during these misadventures that Kevin was briefly exposed to some radiation which made him grow to tremendous size (towering over many of London's row homes and low-rise buildings of the time).a situation which also aided him in defeating Scarlet and her other henchmen.Ībove: Kevin, temporarily tranformed to tremendous size by a dose of radiation (from an experimental device in Herb Overkill's laboratory), towers over the buildings of 1968 London as he rushes to the rescue of his buddies, Bob and Stuart. They sought out the biggest, baddest villain to serve.finding themselves briefly (and tumultuously) in the service of Scarlet Overkill, the greatest super villain of the late 1960s. In the minions' darkest years, prior to their ever meeting and working for Gru, it is Kevin who decides to set out in search of new opportunities for he and his brethen, accompanied by Stuartand Bob.

Of course, like all minions, he's rather mischievous and-occasionally-devious, and doesn't mind using his clubs for less-than-savory purposes (he also is pretty handy with their use as weapons).

He also has a passion for the game of golf, and has his own set of clubs and matching clothing for such occasions. Kevin is one of Gru's most multi-talented minions and, thus, appears to hold a bit more influence and rank amongst all the minions, thanks to his historic role in leading them to a new and brighter future in the service of Gru.
