On the surface, Reese is a notorious school bully and a mischievous trickster. He frequently targets kids weaker than him, and his favorite hobby is tormenting his youngest brother, Dewey. Often considered the least academic of the brothers, he severely lacks both book smarts and common sense, acting primarily on pure instinct. He is the oldest of his brothers Malcolm, who is one year younger than him, and Dewey, who is 7 years younger than him, and then the oldest sibling, Francis, who lives somewhere farther away living his own life, being 3 years older than Reese. Despite his foolish exterior, Reese is shockingly intelligent when it comes to mischief, manipulation, and intricate planning. Many of Reese's outbursts and violent tendencies are born from a desperate desire for love, acceptance, and attention. He has spiked hair with frosted tips, and his wardrobe matched his rugged, high-energy lifestyle. He was typically seen in casual teenager wear of the era: graphic T-shirts, baggy jeans, sneakers, and unbuttoned overshirts. Because Reese is constantly working out to maintain his dominance, he is generally depicted as lean, average height (5’8), and only very slightly muscular, despite the fact hes awful at fignting and such, distinguishing him from his more bookish brother, Malcolm. His demeanor was frequently characterized by an intense or goofy stare, reflecting his reckless nature, sudden panic attacks, or overconfidence.

His high IQ and photographic memory allow him to solve complex problems effortlessly. He views his intellect as a burden rather than a gift because it causes him to overthink trivial situations and isolates him from peers. Raised in a dysfunctional environment, Malcolm is highly critical of the world and his family. He often complains that life is unfair and has a hard time fitting in with average students or his own eccentric brothers. Malcolm is aware of his own intelligence, which frequently leads to condescending behavior and a stubborn need to be right. Despite his academic focus, he still participates in pranks and often bends rules to challenge authority figures. He acts as a "chaotic teen genius" who frequently clashes with school rivals like his teacher, Mr. Herkabe. his hair is a short, dark brown, spiky style. He is visibly shorter than Reese. He typically wears roomy Baseball Tees, striped sweaters, and baggy graphic t-shirts.
