Personality

He first appeared in the series pilot "Welcome to Area Fifty-Something" and meets General Monger and the President. He is shown to be deceitful by tricking them to saying he was a peace ambassador, trying to make amends after the Gallaxhar incident, Even repairing the destroyed Golden Gate Bridge. He often uses B.O.B.'s brainless nativity as an advantage to his schemes which also is what stops them from happening.
He is mysterious and cunning, Only talking to The Grand Coverlord in complete secret. Although, There are times when he is schemes in front of other by mistake. He has a big dislike for the Monsters (B.O.B. particularly) as they always thwart his evil schemes. He is quite greedy, Trying to get anything he wants,Especially world domination.
He's shown to have quite a temper when things don't go this way and is often very irritated by B.O.B.'s brainlessness because B.O.B. sees Coverton as his buddy. He can still also be very eager and excited about certain things such as dangerous weapons he can get his greedy hands on.
There are times when he can do good only out of his own good, Such as in "It Spoke With Authority" when he reroute the base's power core coils to prevent a world-destroying meltdown, despite being severely burnt afterwards.
Powers and Abilities
He compensates with his intelligence and his sinister influence such as with the President, B.O.B. and others.
His two most prominent abilities are his psychokinesis and his ambidextrous hands and feet.
In "It Spoke With Authority", he's immune from being controlled by the Air of Authority most likely because of his genetically superior telekinetic brain.
Weaknesses

As revealed in "The Bath Effect", if contacted by water and soap, his body gets temporarily shorter having his head too big for his body which causes him to fall off his chair. He can get tricked with a hat that prevents him from using his telekinesis.
On "This Ball Must Be Dodged", he reveals to have weak arms since he can't throw a dodgeball towards Susan at a close distance.
On "Debtor Alive!", he reveals his fear of being seen in his underwear and an embarrassing large pink wig. Also with his dignity being lost, he can't control his chair to stop its actions from humiliating him.
