Doofenshmirtz would be one of the greatest evil geniuses of his time if it wasn't for the fact that he constantly got his butt handed to him by an anthropomorphic secret agent platypus.

A bumbling, half-assed evil genius, most episodes of Phineas and Ferb featured a crazy device built by Doofenshmirtz. After a long monologue about his youth, his constructs would usually end up destroying whatever Phineas and Ferb put together before they could show it to their mom.

His ultimate goal was to take over the tri-state area, which he finally achieved at the end of the series. But he gave it all up when he realized how negatively his victory impacted his daughter, Vanessa. Doofenshmirtz might be a mad scientist of sorts but he still knows that family comes first.
