Dell Wire

Dell Wire is one of the two eponymous characters and the main protagonist from the Disney XD animated television series Dell and Gary and its prequel series The Last Pixelian. Created by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and voiced by Miya Cech, Wire is a misanthropic intoxicated teenage alien genius inspired by Christopher Lloyd's Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown from Back to the Future and Reed Richards from Marvel Comics.

Known for her reckless, nihilistic behavior and pessimistic personality, the character has been well received. She is a sociopathic alien genius who seems to know everything in the universe and thus finds life a traumatizing and pointless experience. However, despite assuming herself to be the smartest person in the universe, there have been times when she has been wrong.

Although there are times where she's the good guy, she has also committed some very bad deeds as well. One example of a heroic deed is that in "A Wire in Time" she was willing to sacrifice her life to rescue her surrogate brother, Gary.

Appearance
Dell has blue skin, long blue hair and striking blue eyes. Dell is always seen wearing a black hoodie, a black sleeveless compression shirt and blue jeans.

Reception
The character has received positive reception. Speaking of Dell's relatability and likability, Christopher Miller stated that "we've all been Dell. But Dell really does have bigger fish to fry than anybody. She understands everything better than us. So you give her the right to be jaded and dismissive and narcissistic and sociopathic". Emily Gaudette of Inverse wrote that fans have "come to love [Dell] over two seasons of misadventures".

David Sims of The Atlantic noted Dell's "bitter amorality" and called the character "a genius who comfortably thinks of herself as the universe's cleverest being and is grounded only by her empathy toward other people, which she tries to suppress as much as possible", therefore writing that Dell's selflessness at the end of the episode "The Wedding Crashers" is "the most surprising twist possible".

In popular culture
The character appears in the couch gag of the 2024 The Simpsons episode "Bart Simpson: ParaMoellum", with Cech and reprising her role.
