List of Malcolm in the Middle characters#Reese

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a fictional character: This is a redirect from a fictional character to a related fictional work or list of characters. The destination may be an article about a related fictional work that mentions this character, a standalone list of characters, or a subsection of an article or list.
- For redirects named for fictional places use {{R from fictional location}}, and for those named for fictional elements (objects or concepts), use {{R from fictional element}}.

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

From a cross-project redirect: This is a redirect from a title linked to an item on Wikidata. The Wikidata item linked to this page is Reese Wilkerson (Q120870457).
- Use this template only on hard redirects – for soft redirects use {{Soft redirect with Wikidata item}}.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-Reese is the second oldest of the children, and is also the least intelligent and most destructive, although at some times, he shows even more intelligence than Malcolm when devising fiendish plans. He even had a mean streak in the womb; while his mother [[Lois (Malcolm in the Middle)|Lois]] was in [[labor (childbirth)|labor]], he kicked her so hard that she forcefully gave 'pre-mature' birth to him. Immediately following his delivery he kicked the doctor in the nose. His obsession with violence horrifies the family and leaves him with few friends, partly as he is a [[bullying|bully]] at school. He bullies the "Krelboynes" in Malcolm's class, as well as his younger brothers, especially [[Dewey (Malcolm in the Middle)|Dewey]]. Due to this, Reese is seen working out a lot to give himself a muscular build.
-During his teen years, Reese ran off to join the US military under a faked name and forged age (being that he was underage at the time)without telling his family where he had gone. He was successful in completing Basic Training and was praised as one of the most brilliant soldiers in his platoon after he learned to "turn his brain off" and surrender his will to his superiors. After being sent to Iraq in combat conditions, Reese struggles to stay alive. When his mother, Lois, catches wind of what Reese has done, she tracks him down in Iraq and personally brings him home without objection from the military since Reese was underage.
-Despite Reese's outwardly unintelligent facade, he discovered a gift for cooking in his late teen years. He is gifted at gourmet cooking and finds a lot of enjoyment in it; the only effective way his parents can find to punish him is banning him from the kitchen. He finds success in a meat packing job, but is fired after setting all the cows free to impress a girl.
-In his late teen years, Reese gets married to an attractive immigrant girl who requires the marriage to stay in the U.S. Reese truly cares for her, and she claims to care about him, despite her dominating personality and refusal to have sex. However, the marriage falls apart when Reese and Lois discover her sleeping with another man inside the couple's garage apartment. Added to the fact that Reese miserably failed the immigration test to keep his wife in the country (he mistakenly wrote that she has a tail), the character is never heard from again and presumably deported.
-Reese is depicted as a virgin with limited sexual experience.  In the penultimate episode, "Morp", a girl named Jeanie offers to pay Reese to take her to the senior prom because she had been too focused on getting into college to cultivate a social life and find a date by normal means.  Jeanie says that she initially selected Reese because he isn't "completely hideous" and she knew he wouldn't have a date.  However, Reese turns out to be a gentleman and sweeps her off her feet by being charming and considerate.  Although Jeanie did not initially plan to do anything with Reese after the prom itself, she invites him to go to the beach with her and tells him, "I really want you."  However, before Reese can accept the invitation, his watch alarm goes off, indicating that he is "off the clock", and he leaves, revealing that he was only nice to "satisfy his customer" and thereby passing up a chance to finally have sex.
-After graduating high school, Reese moves in with Craig Feldspar and finally finds success, as a janitor in his former high school. According to his phone call with Malcolm in the season finale, he tells Malcolm that when the principal found the peepholes in the bathroom, the head janitor was fired, and his job was given to Reese.
-It has been hinted that Reese may also be a genius, like Dewey and Malcolm. At the end of his senior year of high school, he is seen studying all day and night multiple times. He says that the tests are a bunch of true-false questions. When his results on the final exams come back, it is found out that he missed every answer on every test. He refers to this as his greatest work, because he had done so bad that he couldn't make it up in summer school so he would have to repeat the year and thus, not move out or need to get a job.
