Mort Weinerman is Heidi and Howard's father and an employee at McFist Industries. He was only mentioned in season 1, but his first official appearance was in "On the Poolfront".
Appearance[]
Mort is tall and slim, like his daughter, and has orange hair like both of his children. His hair sticks up like his son's and he also has shares his brown eyes with him. He has a brown mustache, and wears a white shirt tied with yellow tie, olive jacket with khaki collar, matching khaki pants, and matching khaki dress shoes.
His hands are huge in comparison to Howard's tiny, delicate hands.
Personality[]
Mort, as described by McFist, is a "never-say-no" man. Mort is very nervous and likes to please people, even when he later regrets agreeing to do the task. He is a loving father, who dearly cares for his kids and has pictures of them on his desk. He wants them to like him to the point where he's relieved that Howard blames Randy for not getting a pool and not his father. He, in fact, will do anything to protect his family even if it means jumping into reckless and premature decisions and being unreasonably paranoid, as shown in "Mort-al Combat", when he wrongly believed that the Ninja had intentions to harm his family, he stole one of the Stero-dactyls and tried to destroy the Ninja by himself.
He is also seems to have similar nasty habits as his son as he enthusiastically jumps in Howard's sweat pool, not even unfazed of its context, much to Randy's disgust.
Despite usually spoiling his kids, Mort can also be a little strict at times as shown in "Randy Cunningham's Day Off" when Howard attempts to fake being sick, and Mort gets out a thermometer. Howard happily opens his mouth, but then Mort claims he lost the mouth thermometer and tells him where the thermometer he has is really going, much to Howard's horror.
Relationships[]
Howard Weinerman[]
Mort loves his son greatly, despite Howard never showing him any gratitude. He would go for great lengths just to protect Howard. However, he occasionally will still discipline Howard when needed, such as punishing Howard to clean the house in "Mort-al Combat", or using an actual thermometer to test if Howard is actually sick in "Randy Cunningham's Day Off".
Both Mort and Howard showcase similarly disgusting traits as well, enjoying their sweat pool in "On the Poolfront".
Randy Cunningham/Norrisville Ninja[]
Mort normally has a good relationship with Randy, whom he has known for a long time. Although occasionally he does discipline Randy on Randy's parents' behalf, like telling Randy to leave and later making him clean the house with Howard in "Mort-al Combat". Mort would also side with Howard when it comes to criticizing Randy unfairly though, since he is afraid of being spited by Howard.
Although like other civilians not knowing Randy's identity as the Ninja, Mort respects the hero. He briefly tried to defeat and destroy the Ninja for mistaking Ninja as the culprit for trashing his house, but then regained faith and respect after Ninja saved him.
McFist[]
McFist is Mort's boss after buying out Mort's business. Mort always attempts appeasing McFist, but to no avail. McFist is also shown to not even know Mort properly as in "Escape from Scrap City".
