Gary Jibbs

Gary Jibbs was Jared Smith's 98th Street School counterpart and the new kid at 98th Street School and only appeared in "Here Comes Mr. Perfect".

Personality
Gary excels at everything he does. He is faster, stronger, smarter, and all-around better than every other kid he meets. However in truth, he really does not like the fact that he is so talented since this seeming perfection alienates him from other children who always get jealous of him, usually resulting in either bullying (e.g. Dumping his books, training a hamster to use his desk as a toilet, putting Papier mâché mix in his thermos, or in the case of 98th Street locking him out (pretending he does not exist and barring him from their activities). Either this is the reason he has moved schools so much or being asked for help by the President.

Appearance
Gary wears a green-collar shirt, dark green sweater, blue pants, and the same sneakers as Vance.

Talent
In his only appearance, Gary seems to be very talented and can do the things some of the students usually do. Including:
 * Attending thirty-eight schools since kindergarten, breaking Rus' record of twelve.
 * Answering a difficult math problem that even Greta could not solve accurately, and being the student in the hundredth percentile while Gretchen is in the 99.999th percentile for a math test.
 * Beating Vance in a race (while Vance had a very long head-start) and making a tough basketball shot while facing the other way.
 * Beating Rigalli in arm wrestling.
 * Writing and reciting poetry better than Mickey.
 * Making up better plans, being a better team leader and saving the day than C.J. (getting back a pair of clackers that Mr Boyd took that were considered "lost forever").
 * Swinging around the top eight times, while Swinger Boy barely made one.
 * Digging the perfect hole that not even The Diggers could not (very broad and perfectly square).
 * Burping so loud that he shatters windows, which Chubby could not even do.
 * Flying a jet and performing a perfect barrel roll (none of the other students could do that).

Trivia

 * Jared is a deconstruction of a classic character, Gary Stu, an overly perfect type of character who is good at everything and is without flaw.
