Kyle^[2] Williams^[3], better known as Database, is a student of Springfield Elementary and a member of The Superfriends. He makes his first appearance in "Bart's Comet".

He is voiced by Nancy Cartwright and Tress MacNeille.

History[]

Like many nerds in Springfield Elementary, Database is a common target for Nelson, Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney. Database was part of the group of boys who rescued the Springfield Lemon Tree from Shelbyville ^[4] and was also part of the Pre-teen braves ^[5]. He is shown to be a comic book geek as he shows up at Comic Book Guy's store. One time, he attended at Homer's Q&A. The other time was when he went to find a Batman action figure for his toy Batmobile. Stan Lee asked him if he wanted an exciting action figure to fit in there, but Database said only Batman fits in there. So, Stan decided to jam The Thing action figure in the toy car. Database cries and declared that Stan broke his Batmobile. But Stan said that he made it better instead of breaking it.

Trivia[]

• In "Blazed and Confused", Database was confirmed to have Obsessive–compulsive disorder.
• "The Monkey Suit" implies that he knows who Moe Szyslak is, since he refers to a boy who looks like Moe as "Little Moe Szyslak".

Behind the Laughter[]

In the DVD commentary for "Lemon of Troy", Matt Groening states that Database is his least favorite recurring character.

Yeardley Smith has suggested that Database should be teamed up with Professor Frink.

Database's father is shown in "Lemon of Troy", but he never speaks and is only in the background. He hasn't been seen since that episode.

In later episodes, Database is occasionally voiced by Tress MacNeille.

Database is loosely based on the androgynous character Pat who was created and performed by Julia Sweeney for Saturday Night Live.
