Lee and the Others

History

Prior to series

Lee was the second son born to the Ping family in 1997 in Korea and moved to Canada with his parents, Sue and Dr. Alfred Ping, as a child. He was born with a birth mark underneath his left arm but as a infant his father tattooed over it in order to protect him from "them".

Lee is also a violin prodigy, at the age of ten he was able to put on a recital. Lee has been friends with Tina Kwee since 5th Grade and has secretly had a crush on her for just as long. Lee and Camillio first met in the 3rd grade when Camillio had first moved into town, he couldn't speak a word of English but knew how to flirt and made the mistake of flirting with a girl Steve had a crush on. Lee was able to calm the latter down and the two have been friends ever since.

At the age of ten Lee had to switch schools, making him the "new kid" to everyone. He invited Camillio and the three future members of The Outcasts clique to his 10th birthday party, the latter group because they were still popular at the time. The famed hypnotist The Amazing Finnwich was hired as entertainment, hypnotizing Camillio into thinking he was a chicken, a ballerina and a monkey.

In the 9th grade Holger had first moved to town and started school at A. Nigma High Lee and Camillio defended him from a crowd of his tormentors led by Irwin and the trio have been inseparable ever since, this event appears to have led to the rift in Lee's and Irwin's friendship and Lee's ejection from the group of Mathletes.

Also Lee has been taught how to fight by his father while his tattoo is strongly implied to have mystical connections to The Pyramid underneath the school.[1] He has always had above average intelligence, his mother once forced him to join the "Mathletes" and he has gotten A's every year in all his classes, except gym. Also, he took violin classes for a period of time starting when he was ten.

Lee appears to be a subject of the research at the secret underground research labs under A Nigma High, where there is a file containing a large amount of information on him dating back to when he was a baby. It's later revealed that this is because he is a descendant of Ping and according to prophecy will play a critical role in opening the Pyramid and reviving His Eminence's race.

Season 1

On the first day of tenth grade Lee is framed for The Prank while he is in the bathroom, and receives one full year of detention and is grounded for one full year as punishment. Since then he has spent every day trying to find out who set him up and why.

He has become one of the most popular students in school as a result of The Prank, but he neither wants to nor has the time to enjoy the popularity. Lee has found friends including but not limited to: the Jocks, the Dudes of Darkness, the Skaters and the techno-savie bully Biffy Goldstien. Lee has also made enemies, notably the Down with Lee Club and Principal General Barrage, as a Detentionaire, but continues to try and clear his name despite their opposition.

Lee discovered the email address of the person who set him up, Radcircles@Anigmahigh.ca, which he learned belonged to ex-Principal Wurst. He deduced that Wurst did not do the prank based on the fact that he hasn't seen him around the school since he disappeared one year earlier. Lee also discovered a series of underground tunnels beneath the school, which appear to be abandoned subway tunnels renovated into a massive underground lab.

Lee is apparently a focus of research of the lab, as is The Prank Song which has the ability to brainwash people. Thanks to Chaz's stolen news footage of day one Lee is led to believe that he has discovered who Radcircles really is: seeing Camillio switch his bag on the news footage of the prank who subsequently destroys the footage and whom Holger has already found further evidence of Camillio's involvement he is led to believe he and Radcircles are the same.

Season 2

Lee learned that his friend Camillio had been brainwashed during the Prank in order to set him up as a red herring and thus began the process of hunting down the one who brainwashed him, The Amazing Finnwich. Lee was able to find him eventually, though mostly out of luck rather then his investigation, and learned that he had nothing to do with the Prank. Lee's popularity takes some hits in this season due to the actions of Ruby Kwee.

First, Ruby takes the credit for the Prank, leading the student body to believe that Lee took the credit for the prank for his own gain. Second, after Ruby admitted she didn't do the prank the student body believes that Lee framed her just to get out of detention. Despite this Lee has also proven himself to his classmates: during the berserk cleaner incident Lee risked his life to defend his classmates, lead them to safety and finally defeat the Cleaners.

Unfortunately as a direct consequence of his investigation Lee has been expelled from school by Inspector Blompkins. Lee has also discovered the true identity of Radcircles, the school's IT technician Lynch Webber and his boss Vice Principal Victoria both of whom has been using the school and it's students as lab rats to perfect the Prank song in a bid for world domination.

Lee was able to stop Victoria at the School's dance by proving to Victoria's colleagues in The Council that the song is in-effective for world domination: if the small minority immune to the brainwashing process can snap out their peers from the trance then the song, while still retaining potential, is utterly useless. With the conspiracy seemingly resolved Lee is finally able to ask his long time crush out Tina Kwee.

Season 3

Lee is narrowly able to avoid being shipped off to Alaska by his mother thanks to the intervention of a unknown benefactor, whom instructs the new principal, Blompkins, to un-expel Lee. Also thanks to Lee's actions Blompkins is fired as principal, reinstating Barrage in the process. During The annual fencing match it's discovered that Lee is deeply connected to a mysterious/mystical pyramid underneath the school.

Also thanks to the Outcasts Lee discovers a book detailing information about the Tazelwurms and the Pyramid, unfortunately it's written in some kind of ancient language. As a direct consequence of his investigations, Lee's family is put under threat by the council. Lee later Reunites with Finnwich and Lynch and learns that both they and the Council are after the Pyramid.

When it's finally time to open the pyramid, Finnwich offers Lee the chance to open it with him and together they open it using The keys.

Season 4

Although the Pyramid is finally opened Lee cannot make sense of the strange writing even with Finnwich's cipher. Having finally learned the information he's been seeking for well over a hundred years Finnwich destroys the Pyramid lest it's secrets fall into the hands of the council. Finnwich is captured and sent off to Coral Grove and Lee attempts a rescue mission alongside Biffy and Holger.

The mission fails and instead Lee ends up in the fight of his life against the mysterious Serpent. Although the clearly superior fighter nearly kills Lee he is able to both save himself and push the fight into his favor using the Serpent's allergy to fish to partially blind him, followed up by escape with his friends. Lee was finally able to admit his feelings for his long time crush Tina Kwee.

Sadly a tearful Tina was not able to reciprocate Lee's feelings lest she compromise her new-found friendship with Jenny Jerkins (Having formed a pact to not date him). Lee, alongside Biffy, also begin to suspect a conspiracy to clone the teaching staff of A. Nigma high, which they later learn to be true leading Lee to fear that his mother is also a clone.

Lee also faces off against the Serpent on and off again, the the first time during a lock down of the school where he's collecting DNA samples of the Ping family and unfortunately gets away Scott-free. The Second time when he kidnaps Jenny for the Book and threatens Holger's life. This time however Lee is able to get the drop on him with a fish stuffed Pizza Holger had ordered.

Finally Lee learnt that the Serpent is either his older brother, or that he (Lee) is a clone of the Serpent, who then kidnapped a hospitalized Alfred Ping, their mutual father. Later that day Lee was in for a second major shock/discovery concerning his family in that his mother Sue Ping is also a clone much like her fellow teachers, unable to do anything about it at the time Lee and Biffy made their escape.

The next day Lee rescues his friends Holger, Camillio and Biffy when they are captured by the Council and in a twist teams with his possible brother, the Serpent, who is seeking revenge against the Council for the suffering they have inflicted upon him, upon learning that Tina and Jenny are already in Coral Grove the group makes a plan to sneak onto the submarine to get there, forced to leave Camillio behind as a distraction.

Sadly, despite surviving the numerous perils of Coral Grove, the group is captured at the last minute and sent to Tina's cell when the prison goes into lockdown. At around dinner time the group is able to escape when they jump their guard (a disguised Lynch) and hijack a submarine, which Lynch unfortunately remotely pilots back to Coral Grove and secured the group's cooperation by revealing that Lee's real mother was being held captive at the base.

The group works with Lynch to save Lee's mother and afterwards goes to see Finnwich, who tries to kill Lee and himself to keep the Pyramid from being opened again. He is saved by the untimely arrival of His Eminence, the true mastermind behind the conspiracy and in turn saved from the prehistoric Lizard creature by the equally untimely arrival of Cassandra McAdams and in turn saved from her by her Daughter.

Having finally run out of people trying to kill them the group has a group hug to celebrate the newly formed official romantic relationships and the apparent end to the conspiracy.

Lee Ping Disguised as the new band member from the DOD

Disguises & Aliases

  • Number 77 - During football try-outs Lee donned the persona of a rather skilled football player known to Barrage only as Number 77, whom was able to outwit Barrage's many tests by combining IT support, intellect, and sheer determination.[2].
  • El Beardo - In order to hide from Barrage during auditions for the school play Lee dressed up as Alexander Nigma. Barrage, not realizing it was Lee, asked him to read some lines from the script. Barrage found Lee's awkward performance fitting for the play, despite the fact that he's really not a good actor, and cast him as Alexander.
  • Unnamed DOD member - During the yearly battle of the bands competition Lee's friends disguised him as a British styled rocker which allowed him to participate in the battle of the bands alongside the Dudes of Darkness on the violin.
  • Brad Von Chillstein - When Brad was making moves on Greta Von Hoffman and Brandy Silver Lee agreed to take his place during the annual fencing match in exchange for him to stop "flirting" with Greta Von Hoffman and Brandy Silver, using Brad's signature flame printed fencing uniform to complete the disguise.
  • Manifestum - The Amazing Finnwich's nickname for Lee. Finnwich based the name on the fact that Lee cannot be hypnotized, as a prophecy Finnwich was told of by his master names such a individual Manifestum. However Finnwich may have been lying about where he got the name, as it's shown that "Manifestum" is connected to The Pyramid in the season 3 finale. Even despite the fact that Lee has made it clear that he has no wish to kill Finnwich as stated in the prophecy Finnwich still calls him by this nickname.

Personality

Lee is a loyal friend who is confident in his abilities. He will risk his safety to help his friends knowing that they would do the same for him. He's willing to put himself in danger if he believes that the risks are worth the rewards and is usually right in his assessment. Though normally easy-going by nature Lee is frequently bewildered by all the weirdness he encounters at A Nigama High but fiercely and unflinchingly determined to unravel the mystery. As noted by his friends and family, Lee is usually in a bad mood as a result of his determination to clear his name, and the stress it causes. This stress and justified paranoia has at times led him to jump to conclusions based on incomplete evidence, even going so far as to accuse his friends when suspicion falls on them.

Although he is said to have previously been something of loner before the start of the school year, Lee seems to have knack for making friends. During the course of his investigation he has ended up helping many students, and several cliques including but not limited to the Jocks, Skaters, Outcasts and the Genius Club, have become his loyal allies because of it. Lee can also be very persuasive, verging on manipulative at times. He manipulated Holger into taking off Cam's shoes to match shoes prints, [3] stopped Steve from ratting him out, [2] manipulated jocks into taking his place as pumps to the school's equipment, [3] and even tricked Barrage into breaking the prank song effect. [4]Lee and Biffy have some kind of effect where they don't get hypnotized by the prank song Lynch (Radcircles) plays.

Abilities

Lee Ping is well rounded in terms of his abilities, he is highly intelligent and capable of getting good grades, perceptive enough to figure out the clues to the prank, open-minded enough to not turn down a clue, and (despite only getting a C in gym the prior year) physically fit enough to match the football team in try-outs. He was the only new player left after Barrage's assault meant to test his football team. [2]

In Blitzkrieg Bop'd Lee shows he is agile enough with a skateboard to skid across a pool and land on the other side, and durable enough to emerge from this trick unharmed.[5] While he a child Lee received some light training in fencing from his father, which still doesn't account for his exceptional swordsmanship, demonstrated in the yearly fencing match. Lee's unnatural fighting skills are believed to be due to an unexplained connection to the pyramid underneath the school via his tattoo.

Lee is immune to the prank song and other forms of hypnotism due to a genetic oddity. However it is unknown from where he got this trait because in "The Dance Part 2" Lee's mom is hypnotized and in "Finding Finnwich" his father claims to be affected by Finnwich's hypnotism, making him not immune if he was being truthful. Lee may have inherited this trait through a resesive gene, or from enviromental factors, or a "simple" mutation althoug his relationship to The Serpent may hold the key.

Profile

“Lee Ping is that mysterious cool guy who seems to breeze through school. But he's no overachiever! And he certainly has no interest in being in any clique. He's his own guy and fiercely loyal to the same two friends he's had for years. All that changes, though, when he's framed for the biggest prank in high school history. Now he needs to apply all of his numerous mental and physical talents to fully navigate every aspect of school life and beyond as "the Detentionaire!"”
