Although the son of famed superscientist Dr. Jonas Venture, Dr. Venture does not seem to have inherited his father's technological or adventuring skills. He has few working inventions of his own, and relies heavily on his late father's inventions to pay the bills as well as for everyday use. His lack of income forced him to sell many of his father's inventions at a 'tag sale', as seen in Tag-Sale -- You're it!. One of his more recent inventions that we've seen is the Vacuum Boom-Vroom, which he ended up cuddling with when he couldn't meet any "hot, desperate women." Several flashbacks (generally resulting in the popping of a "diet pill" to end the memory) suggest that his romantic childhood "adventuring" with his father was actually severely traumatic, affecting him negatively to the present day. The general aura of desperation, mediocrity and failure which sharply differentiates Dr. Venture from his famous, masculine and larger-than-life father provides much of the fodder for the show's plot. It was revealed that Dr. Venture is not really a Dr., having never earned a doctorate in anything. In fact, his undergraduate studies were cut short and he does not appear to have continued his formal studies- instead receiving an honorary degree from what he described as a "small, rather exclusive" institution in Tijuana. | Although the son of famed superscientist Dr. Jonas Venture, Dr. Venture does not seem to have inherited his father's technological or adventuring skills.

The identity of Hank and Dean's mother remains unknown, although Venture's first bodyguard Myra Brandish has claimed to be their mother in I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills. It is possible that Hank and Dean have no actual mother; they may have been grown completely in a laboratory. Dr. Venture refers to the boys having been through a 'prototype phase' in Are You There God? It's Me, Dean, but he may have been referring solely to clone slug development and not their actual creation. The fact that Dr. Venture claims to have lost his virginity at 24, may add credence to the theory that Myra Brandish is actually the boys' mother. | The identity of Hank and Dean's mother remains unknown, although Venture's first bodyguard Myra Brandish has claimed to be their mother in I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills.

Dr. Venture is addicted to "diet pills", which he keeps constantly on his person in a metal tin and uses conspicuously on several occasions to quiet his painful traumatic memories and semi-frequent hallucinations revolving around his dysfunctional childhood and unresolved issues with his dead father. He has also had a variety of medical problems; in Dia de Los Dangerous, he had both of his kidneys removed. Later, in Return to Spider-Skull Island, he has a "tumor" removed, only to find out that it was actually his twin brother, Jonas Venture Jr.. | Dr. Venture is addicted to "diet pills", which he keeps constantly on his person in a metal tin and uses conspicuously on several occasions to quiet his painful traumatic memories and semi-frequent hallucinations revolving around his dysfunctional childhood and unresolved issues with his dead father.
