The Delightful Children From Down The Lane are the secondary antagonists in the Cartoon Network series, Codename: Kids Next Door.

They are a group of brainwashed sophisticated children who plan on taking down the Kids Next Door organization using their advanced technology and an endless supply of wealth. They work for the series main antagonist, Father.

Appearance

All five of the Delightful Children have differing appearances, but they all have similar attire and they all have light-blue eyes. The boys–Bruce, David, and Lenny–wear blue button-up coats with a grey shield-like design on each of them, white undershirts, red ties, blue shorts, blue tube socks, and brown shoes. The girls of the group–Constance and Alessandra–wear short-sleeve white dresses with light-blade stripes that go across their waist as well as their sleeves, a light-blue scarf around their neck, pink tube socks, pick undergarments, and white buckle-on shoes.

• Bruce - Bruce has blond hair and caucasian skin. He is the second shortest of the five.
• David - David has darkish-blond hair that covers his eyes and caucasian skin. He is the tallest and most slender of the five.
• Alessandra - Alessandra has long blond hair and caucasian skin. She is the third tallest of the five. She wears a pink bow that sits at the top of her hair.
• Constance - Constance has light-brown skin and brown hair. She is the shortest of the five. She wears glasses and her hair is braided with red hair-ties holding them in place. Her braids stand straight up.
• Lenny - Lenny has light-brown skin with brown hair. He is the second-tallest of the five. Unlike the rest of the guys, Lenny wears a red football helmet with a white stripe that goes across the middle. When he takes it off, he is wearing braces.

Personality

After having been "Delightfulized", Father said that they had been made into "five perfect delightful children". While still maintained some of the traits they had before they were Delightfulized, in particular their coordinance and their knowledge of their advanced technology, they seem to have all recollection of their lives as Kids Next Door operatives. The Delightfulization resulted in the five of them becoming perfectly synchronized both physically and mentally, as they all behave in the ideal perfect manor. This also resulted in their love for adult-tyranny and their obedience towards adult authority. Their good qualities do not appear when they interact with their fellow children, as they do not respect anyone except those whom are older than them. An example of this is their refusal to share their cake with any of the children that they "invite" to their birthday parties, tying them down so they can watch the Delightful Children eat their cake. They also have no problem with stealing and even attempting to murder other children as seen on several occasions.

Most of the Delightful Children's time is spend using their advanced technology to try and take down the Kids Next Door. Having been assigned this task by their father, they are very dedicated in trying to bring down their entire operation by any means necessary. Although they are defeated time-and-time again, they refuse to give up the fight until the Kids Next Door have been defeated once and for all. On occasions where they either had to call upon the Kids Next Door for help or work with the Kids Next Door to defeat a common enemy, they would immediately follow up by betraying them, demonstrating how their hatred for the Kids Next Door is greater than anything else. For example, in the movie, OPERATION: Z.E.R.O., they chose to destroy Numbuh 1 rather than helping him save the world from Grandfather who plans to turn everyone, regardless of their current age, into his Senior Citi-zombies.

Having a lot of respect for adults, the children have a keen desire to be adults themselves, as seen when they remarked how getting older is moving closer to the glorious years of adulthood. However; they do disrespect some adults, especially those that work for them (including their butler and the Ice Cream Men). Their desire for adulthood extends further to their want for others to grow up as well, as seen in the episode "F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.", when they tried to destroy the Fountain of Youth so that no child could be young forever.

When speaking, they Delightful Children display a few different mannerisms that resulted form their Delightfulization, among the most obvious of these being their tendency to speak at the exact same time. The Delightful Children tend use "I" or "we" when referring to themselves. When meeting with the Kids Next Door, they often being their dialogue with "well, well, well..." and then proceed to mock them in a clever and/or sarcastic fashion.

Past

It is revealed in "Operation: Z.E.R.O", that the Delightful Children are none other than the operatives of the legendary "lost sector" of the KND, Sector Z. They were a group of Kids Next Door members who worked with Numbuh Zero to take down Grandfather. Some unknown time later, Father captured them and put them into a Delightfulization chamber. It blew a fuse, increasing it's power by "elevendy-billion"-fold, causing the machine to be destroyed. However; it ended up making Sector Z into five "Perfect Delightful Children", permanently inflicted with the machine's Delightfulization effects.

While Sector V was panicking, the Delightful Children started playing music on a record player that was in their cage. The Delightful Children began anxiously pacing around their cage thinking about how angry Father would be when they didn't show up for curfew. Numbuh 5 then proposed that they worked together, and so they asked what she had in mind.

After they were done, Sector V tossed over the chain and they put it around the record player.

It then started raining; the Delightful Children walked home in shame remarking on how angry Father was going to be. After showing up to the mansion covered in water, Father screamed at them for all their failures. After he was done, they asked to barrow The Really Really Incredibly Destructive Machine, to which he allowed them. They proceeded to take it down to the Kids Next Door tree house, breaking anything that stood in their path.

After showing up to the tree house, they caved in a wall and began trying to crush Nigel with their robotic tentacles. First, Numbuh 3 tried to fight back with her giant robotic bunny, but they crushed it. Next, Numbuh 5 tried to fight back using the defense lasers, but they had a shield to deflect them. After this, Numbuh 2 distracted them with his fly-suit just in time for Numbuh 4 to arrive with a robot with he smacked their machine with. They used their robotic tentacles to grab his machine and saw off its smashing parts. With no one else to stand in their way, they grabbed Numbuh 1 and used an age-modifying ray to turn him into an adult. After doing so, they put him down and smashed their treehouse.

They aren't seen until later when the remainder of Sector V arrived to the mansion to try and retrieve the ray. The Delightful Children were sitting in a chair notifying the age of their butler out of boredom, telling themselves that they almost missed the Kids Next Door. After Sector V broke in, they told their butler to attack them, but they forgot to change him back to an adult. Before they could, Numbuh 4 knocked the ray out of their hands. Both teams began fighting over the ray, aging each other forwards and backwards as they did. Eventually, the Delightful Children got the upper hand and aimed it at Sector V. Before they could use it, Numbuh 1 crashed an ice-cream truck into the mansion, and demanded they hand over the ray. They asked why they should, so Nigel told them it was because he was an adult. After telling him that it wasn't fair, they handed it over.

During the fight, the Delightful Children mockingly asked Numbuh 2 & 5 if they were having fun, they two of them beating them after doing so.

P.A.R.T.Y.

In the episode P.A.R.T.Y., the Delightful Children are first seen waving Father away. After he left, they got on a call with Cree and informed her that he was gone, meaning she and her friends could come over to discuss the destruction of the Kids Next Door. After the teenagers arrived, things got out of hand and they began trashing the house. The Delightful Children decided they had no other option but to call the Kids Next Door and plead for their assistance. After getting off the phone, The Delightful Children tried to control the situation but they were unable to do so. Eventually, Father called and they had to make up an excuse for the noise. Soon after the call, they ran into men dressed up as classical musicians. Thinking that they would sooth the violence with their music, the Delightful Children allowed them to play. At first it was classical, but then it turned into Rock music and things got more out of hand. The Delightful children were then sent onto a crowd surf and they landed in the fire-place. After landing, they were pulled through the chimney by one of the Kids Next Door's gadgets. After being pulled up, they were questioned over the reason for their call. The Delightful Children pleaded for them to get the teens out of their house before Father got back, and although Nigel refused at first, they reminded him that the Kids Next Door were sworn to help any child in danger no matter who they are. They asked them why they invited over the teens in the first place, and they said it was because they'd hoped to become the Delightful Teens From Down The Lane, but they never expected things to get so out of hand. Sector V figured out a plan that involved filling the house with mashed potatoes using the main pipeline, which The Delightful Children refused at first because it was in Father's inner sanctum. They eventually obliged and they aren't seen until the end of the episode.

At the end of the episode, after all the teens were scared out of the house, the Delightful Children thanked Sector V for saving them. Even though they ended up canceling their original plan, the potatoes still went off, and so both Sector V and the Delightful Children were rocketed off the roof. After Father arrived to see the state of the home, the Delightful Children blamed Sector V for the mess.

C.R.I.M.E.

The Delightful Children first appear after Joe told Numbuh 3–whom was pretending to be a detective–to go check them out. She eventually arrived in the cafeteria–their base–and met them eating breakfast. Numbuh 3 then asked them to help her with her coloring problem. They thought she was referring to what they had going on behind the scenes, but she was really referring to her homework that involved coloring the states different colors. They proceeded to explain their "Pre-Delinquency Operation" which involved working with a boy who knew how to predict the future, allowing them to arrest kids before they committed punishable offenses. They then told her about how everyone was in detention, and so Numbuh 3 left.

They are later seen again in the coloring room, where Numbuh 3 discovers the boy who knew how to predict the future. After realizing that Numbuh 3 knew too much, they ordered the guards to arrest her, but they instead arrested the Delightful Children because they were going to run in the halls. After the Delightful Children objected, they proceeded to run away screaming.

I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.

The episode begins with the Delightful Children on a cruise-ship discussing how wonderful it will be to have their birthday cake on it. Numbuh 1 revealed himself and aimed a weapon at them, but their fired back with their shuffle-board stick. After shooting them with his gun, they fell onto a truck below, the cruise-ship having been carried by it. They got into the truck being driven by their butler and demanded he step on it. After escaping the Kids Next Door, Sector V arrived home to see Father and the Delightful Children filming a movie in their treehouse about eating their birthday cake. After they pulled the cloth that was supposedly covering the cake off, it was revealed that a scientist member was sitting there instead, saying that in order to get the cake back they would need to participate in a scavenger hunt.

Later during the episode, after Father organized villains to win the cake, the Delightful Children complained about sharing. Father reassured them that the villains would receive nothing after handing it over.

The Delightful Children again appeared stealing the list of items needed for the scavenger hunt, which was apart of the list. Numbuh 1 appeared just in time to show them that he had gotten Father's pipe, worth the most points. The Children threw the list at him, hitting a ride and causing it to explode. They then tackled him onto the log ride, where they struggled but eventually got a hold of the pipe and Nigel's weapon. They tried to force Nigel to admit it was the end, but while their backs were turned they didn't notice they were approaching a broken part of the ride that spilled into a giant toilet. Nigel grabbed a sign overhead and took back the pipe, the Delightful Children falling to their supposed demise.
