Strangely, he once needed a fake ID to purchase beer.

Kearney has been married to an unnamed (and unmentioned) wife. The only details given though were that he had to divorce with her, because Kearney didn't want his parents to find out. Kearney has said that he misses having sex with her, though it also mentioned in one episode that Kearney dated Jimbo's mother.

Kearney Sr. is Kearney's gruff, rarely-seen father who looks almost identical to his son, similar to Milhouse and Homer (who greatly resemble younger versions and older versions of their fathers). One time, Kearney Sr. attacked Homer in [[Moe's Tavern]] after Homer tried to get him and the other fathers to stop their sons from bullying Bart. He hit Homer in the head with a pool stick. The bullying fathers then were forced to leave at gunpoint by Moe, who told them that they could not hit Homer unless they had bought at least two drinks.

It was revealed that Kearney, Jimbo, and Dolph were all originally bullied by nerds. Bart then taught them that nerds are "all talk and no action" and they learned to "stand up" for themselves. Bart was later caught in the crossfire when his own creation backfired and Kearney, Jimbo, and Dolph begin taking revenge by torturing the nerds.

Biography

He has a father named Kearney, Sr., a mother, Mrs. Zzyzwicz, whose forename is not revealed. Although he looks (and sounds) to be around Jimbo or Dolph's age, Kearney has a young son named Kearney, Jr.[1] (it is not known who the mother is), he is the only present Springfield Elementary School student that celebrated the United States Bicentennial (that is, was alive in 1976) and shaves his beard.[2] Strangely, he once needed a fake ID to purchase beer.[3]

Kearney drives a Hyundai Stellar. Skinner tried to take off the H to replace the 'H' logo stolen from Superintendent Chalmers' Honda Accord. Kearney catches him in the act, forcing Skinner to flee.[4] Kearney is seen smoking in the room where Bart, Nelson, Jimbo, and Dolph are trapped in, during Superintendent Chalmers' visit.[5]

Otto once stated that he and Kearney both went to Springfield Elementary School together, only for Kearney to reply that they are unable to teach him, which is his reason for why he is still in the school.[6]

Family

Little Kearney

Children

Kearney has two sons. Kearney's older son looks exactly like him, though younger and sounding like Ralph Wiggum. He was able to overcome his parents' divorce by sleeping in a drawer at night.[1] He is likely far smarter than his father, Kearney, based on the fact that he knew immediately that Gil, dressed up as Santa Claus, was a fake.[7] Kearney says that he is speaking "as a teenager and parent of a teenager".[8]

Kearney has a much younger son, who once fought Maggie in a park.[9]

Father

Main article: Kearney, Sr.

Kearney Sr. is Kearney's gruff, rarely-seen father who looks almost identical to his son, similar to Milhouse and Homer (who greatly resemble younger versions and older versions of their fathers). One time, Kearney Sr. attacked Homer in Moe's Tavern after Homer tried to get him and the other fathers to stop their sons from bullying Bart. He hit Homer in the head with a pool stick. The bullying fathers then were forced to leave at gunpoint by Moe, who told them that they could not hit Homer unless they had bought at least two drinks.[10]

Mother

Kearney's mother is not seen but is said to suffer from clinical depression, for which she is being treated with medication. Kearney's points to the medication as the primary reason behind her recent weight gain. She is either in a mental clinic or jail.[11]

Relationships
