About Vector
Vector Perkins from Despicable Me 2 is an ambitious little fellow who wears his signature orange jumpsuit. He is a scientific genius capable of creating some highly innovative weapons, most notable of which is his squid gun. He is the son of the owner of the Bank of Evil, Mr. Perkins. He is a masterful scientist and a mathematical genius. Yet, his behavior is childish. He gets angry very easily and is easily provoked.
His eccentricities include his love for cookies which deviates from the whole “I am evil” theme he’s got going on. In addition, Vector is also fascinated by sea life. He has a pet shark and has invented weapons such as the Piranha gun and the Squid launcher. He is also extremely rich thanks to his father’s ownership of the Bank of Evil. But even though their family is rich, they do not share a father and son bond. His father isn’t proud of his achievements and Vector himself is afraid to show his true self to his father.
