Tim Johnson (Johnsonverse)

y lat. Timothy Daniel Johnson (b. July 9, 1995) is an American media mogul, actor, director, and producer. He is the son of Sheldon Johnson, Jr. and Tammy Jo Johnson, and the CEO of Johnson Industries since December 30, 2009. He is also an actor and director, and hosts Fireside Chat with Tim Johnson on WBC.

Early Life
Since the age of two, Johnson wanted to be just like his father one day. He would typically pretend that he was running Johnson Industries along with his twin sister Chloe and friends Belle and Jenny (usually in a rather-realistic manner with an actual business language he picked up overhearing his father). Johnson even read history books on Johnson. He recalled participating in a pretend tea party with Chloe and turned it into a mafia meeting with their stuffed animals to negotiate a hit on Johnson's teddy bear, Artie. He accused him of committing a faux pas in front of the don. Chloe later stated a mafia meeting was a lot more fun than a "girly" tea party due to her well-known tomboy attitude. At the age of nine, Tim wrote a famous school play on Johnson's history called A History of a Titan (which was known for having rather mature-sounding dialogue and a plethora of shots at Phil Stacker. Stacker was portrayed in the play in an unflattering light as "a fat bastard" who whipped his employees and ignored the board's suggestions in favour of chasing demographics; Stacker himself was quite amused by this portrayal). His classmates and teachers applauded it. As the years passed, Tim helped his father more often. Then on December 10, 2009, Tim got the news that would change his life forever.

Background
He was notified by his father that he would retire to run for Governor of California and that Tim would take over the company. The transition took place from December 11, 2009, to December 29, over 18 days. On December 30, they announced the news in a ceremony. He noted in a press release, "Under my watch, Johnson Industries will soar to new heights, but I'm not in it for the money. I will do it for you, the people, and for myself, because I just love unleashing my imagination and sharing it with the world. Just call me Walt Disney 2.0.".

Personal Life
Tim is the son of Sheldon Johnson Jr. and Tammy Jo Johnson. He has a twin sister, Chloe Johnson, and a wife, Belle Armstrong. The couple has two kids. Tim also has a bunny named Biscotti (b. 2015; found on a cul-de-sac near the Johnson home and theorized to be an Easter dump); he had previously had up to four bunnies. Their names were Ralphie (c. March 2003-September 22, 2014, adopted May 2, 2004), Ashley Belle (nee Ichigo, January 31, 2004-June 8, 2018, adopted September 3, 2004), Beaumont (c. 2009-April 4, 2017, adopted December 1, 2009), and Willow (c. 2009-October 21, 2018, adopted December 1, 2009).

A 2015 poll voted Johnson the most trustworthy person in the world, surpassing James Earl Jones. Johnson also has Asperger's syndrome, which he often credits to his seemingly-unending stream of successes with Johnson Industries.

Johnson was subject to a death hoax on February 20, 2019, in which the San Jose Mercury News website reported that he was shot and killed by a Westboro Baptist Church member for supporting LGBT rights. The site also claimed the member shouting, “Death to the man supporting the destruction of God’s will,” and planned two bombing attacks on his family’s house and Johnson headquarters and assassinations of Sheldon Johnson, Jr., Tammy Jo Johnson, Craig Johnson, Phil Stacker and others in Johnson’s 2020 Presidential campaign. He responded by calling a press conference, in which he appeared in zombie makeup, limping to the podium before delivering a statement on behalf of a fictional program that gives brains to underprivileged zombie children, calling out those who make death hoaxes to manipulate the brain supply. He did so using a fake British accent, and at the end of the conference, broke character to deliver a personal threat to whoever declared him dead. They later traced the hoax back to a disgruntled ex-Johnson employee who had taken part in the 2016 conspiracy to introduce the Charter System to the NASCAR Panasonic Cup Series (then known as the Sprint Cup Series).

Johnson states he constantly flip-flops between agnosticism and atheism, primarily because he considers himself a rational person who wants scientific proof as to the existence of God and the supernatural. Occasionally, he'll view religion in the same way as God is depicted in Monster World, as one supreme deity who cloned multiple aspects of himself with different views (even the Flying Spaghetti Monster). He claims all religion is valid except Mormonism (which he views as a cult) and Scientology (which Johnson views as a massive scam, especially since DC-8s didn't exist in 1949, accusing L. Ron Hubbard of making things up as he went along).

Political views
Like his predecessors, Tim is highly liberal and supports his father in his run for President. He's notorious on MySpace (one of the companies Johnson owns) for making very scathing anti-Trump posts (to the point of calling his administration "the Fourth Reich"), and even stated in a 2017 interview, "I don't regret any of these posts one bit." Also, Johnson has mandated that nothing definite can be said about Trump unless he deems something he does favourable. Most notably, he organized a "protest" by not airing any inauguration coverage on WBC. Instead, Johnson chose to air a Terrahawks marathon (consisting of all 39 episodes of the original series, plus the two-part Monster World crossover made during the latter's' fifth season in 2002). He was scheduled to host it but was replaced by Chloe after he caught a cold (though he did appear in pre-recorded segments. Johnson mustered enough strength and willpower to appear towards the end of the marathon, wearing a mask so he wouldn't infect others). During the marathon, Chloe interviewed original voice actors Jeremy Hitchin, Denise Bryer, and Windsor Davies, as well as series co-creator Christopher Burr.

Johnson is also highly critical of current Russian president Vladimir Putin, going so far as to call him a dictator and his regime “the Second Soviet Union.”

Johnson also often provides his personal opinion on world events. For example, he tends to blame certain circumstances (such as the Pulse Nightclub Shooting, the 2017 Northern California Wildfires, among other recent disasters) on ISIS, and after their fall, al-Qaeda. He also believes Autism Speaks is a hate group seeking to exterminate those with Autism by using "much of the same rhetoric Adolf Hitler used to describe the Jews." He believes the National Rifle Association (NRA) meddles in gun control efforts not to benefit gun manufacturers, but because of baseless paranoia that everyone needs a gun to form militias and resistance groups against an invasion from Russia or China that, realistically, can never happen. He is a highly controversial figure among conservatives, with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh labelling him a "domestic terrorist," Pat Robertson calling him a “boss who praises Satan,” and other conservatives have called him an assortment of insults. Liberals, moderates, and independents, conversely, praise him for standing up to the Trump administration; some have even gone on to consider him the one running the country instead of Trump. Johnson has said, "There is no 45th President. The person in the Oval Office, once a good man, got brainwashed by the Neo-Soviets who run Russia into a dangerous fanatic inserted by those Neo-Soviets to make this country so paralyzed with stupidity, nothing can stop Putin from rebuilding the Soviet Union and conquering Europe. Possibly the world, to realize Lenin's vision (Stalin's bastardization of communism notwithstanding). I, for one, support my father in his run to become the TRUE 45th President".

Trump's response to Johnson's criticism has, to date, not been his usual rhetoric, but a reconciliatory tone. He stated in a Twitter post that "to me, there is nothing more American than Johnson Industries. I, like pretty much everyone else, love Monster World, and I know what Johnson is capable. Therefore, I'm going to leave him alone and not try to meddle in his affairs. If he wants to insult me, that's fine. That's why the First Amendment exists." Johnson's response was to call his bluff. He has said, "He was just saying that to butter Johnson Industries up so he can seize Continental Rail, nationalize it, hand freight operations over to other railroads, and terminate all passenger operations to funnel everyone aboard the airlines. His statement has "bluff" written all over it." He later changed this statement, saying, "I think I now know what Trump's game is: he's afraid of us. He knows the Howard Johnson Navy is bigger than the US Navy, and that we have the means to render the US, Russian, and Chinese nuclear arsenals completely useless if it comes to that. Well, Mr. You're Fired, if the Neo-Soviets give you a second term, I got my ships, and I'm not afraid to use any of them."
