Father of Dora Wrightson, he was fed up with his work as a botanist, studying the swamp life of a Louisiana bayou after Hurricane Katrina had passed, paying no atention to Dora, not even paying attention when Dora was mutated and escaped. He put papers on telephone poles and stuff that said she was missing, not to expect she had mutated into a swamp monster! When he figures it out, he gives Ben the antidote to cure her, it works, so the professor invites them to dinner and begins to spend much more time with Dora. He also appears in the Ben 10 comic book.
