Doctor Betty Director, more commonly known as Dr. Director, is the head of the worldwide espionage organization known as The Global Justice Network, or GJ.
Appearance[]
Of average height, curvy build and short brown hair, Dr. Director is instantly recognizable by her eye patch. Her twin brother Gemini wears one too. However, it is unclear whether either twins wear them because of an actual eye injury or if it is some type of fashion statement.
Personality[]
Dr. Betty Director has a good morality and shown to have leadership since she is in charge of addressing any threats to the world that fall outside the scope of normal law enforcement groups. However, even an organization with some of the world's finest scientists, weapons and agents requires some help from time to time. Dr. Director isn't too proud to call in reinforcements if it means getting the job done, which is where Kim Possible comes in. However, being a top-secret organization, even asking for help has to be handled in a subversive way, whether it's sucking Kim into a trap door through a series of transport tubes or arranging a phony crime to lure her to a meeting site - revealing that Betty is a very cautious leader.
Biography[]
She first introduced Kim to Global Justice in a case that led to Kim's first encounter with Duff Killigan[1]. She later called in Kim to assess the phenomenon GJ scientists dubbed "the Ron Factor", the basic gist of which being that Ron's chaotic nature was the true reason for Kim's successes in saving the world, and Dr. Director wanted to see if GJ could harness that chaos. A theory ultimately disproved and dropped in favor of considering "the Rufus Factor"[2].
Betty has subsequently stayed behind the scenes for the most part, although Kim has had other dealings with Global Justice, usually in the form of rides to her destinations and backup on missions[3]. As the head of a global organization, Dr. Director has very little hands-on involvement in GJ's cases, but on the rare occasions when she had to get her hands dirty, such as when she had to team up with Kim to fight her own twin brother, Gemini, she has proven she can hold her own in a fight[2].

- Main article: Gemini
Dr. Director is bound and determined to bring down Gemini and his organization, WEE, or the Worldwide Evil Empire. But rather than a war of two tactical geniuses, their battles are really more reminiscent of a kindergarten slap fight, since their conflict is really nothing more than a case of sibling rivalry run amok. Gemini's motivation for the disdain he holds towards his sister is that she was the younger twin and never respected him as an elder sibling.
Mother[]
Her relationship with her mother was unknown, although Gemini did threaten to tattle on Betty to her, which at least implied that they were on speaking terms.

Notes[]
- Global Justice is an allusion to Marvel comic's S.H.I.E.L.D.
- Her character is likely an allusion to the S.H.I.E.L.D. director, Nick Fury.
- Similarly, Dr. Director also has an evil twin in Gemini, most likely based on Nick Fury's twin brother Scorpio.
