    Sheldon Lee Cooper,B.Sc., M.Sc., M.A., Ph.D., Sc.D., is a Caltechtheoretical physicist. Next to his best friend Leonard Hofstadter, he's the main protagonist of The Big Bang Theory and the titular protagonist of Young Sheldon.

    Originally from East Texas, Sheldon started college at the age of 11 in 1991, receiving his first Ph.D. at the age of 16. As a kid, Sheldon was involved in numerous experiments as a "wunderkind," such as his plan to provide free electricity for his hometown by building a nuclear reactor - a plan that government pen-pushers stopped, claiming that it is illegal to store yellowcake uranium in a garden shed. Proudly geeky, he has no qualms about speaking Klingon, wearing vintage t-shirts sporting super-hero logos, or spouting various historical and cultural anecdotes (e.g., his account of the introduction of the fork into Thailand).

    Grew Up... in Galveston, Texas. Sheldon was considered a child prodigy with a genius IQ but was rarely encouraged to explore his intellect, often bullied by his fairly "low-brow" family.

    Profession... theoretical physicist at Caltech. Sheldon became interested in science at a very young age, and his brilliant mind allowed him to jump into the field quicker than most. He graduated from college at fourteen and received a Ph.D. by the time he was sixteen.

    Interests... comic books and science fiction. Sheldon comes off as a stereotypical nerd and really has no qualms about it. He regularly plays Dungeons and Dragons, is an avid Star Trek fan, and idolizes superheroes – obsessed enough to warrant restraining orders from many of the people he adores.

    Relationship Status... confused. For the majority of his life, Sheldon has
