Mr. Grayson, also known as Stitches, is a secondary antagonist of Disney's 2005 movie, Sky High. He was played by Jim Rash.
Biography
Mr. Grayson's given name is never revealed in Sky High, though it is likely that his surname is Grayson. Years ago, he became the villain named Stitches, and the sidekick of the super-villain, Royal Pain, whose real name was Sue Tenny. At some point during the 1980’s, Royal Pain was defeated by the Commander and Jetstream, when her weapon, the Pacifier, was damaged and backfired on her.
Stitches found the baby Sue Tenny and stole her away. Taking on the role of Mr. Grayson, a normal man, he renamed the baby Gwendolyn "Gwen" Grayson and raised her as his own daughter. With time, Gwen resumed acting as Royal Pain and Mr. Grayson resumed acting as Stitches.
When Royal Pain put her plan to get rid of Sky High into action and turn the staff and students into babies, Stitches was right there to assist her. During the attack, Stitches was attacked by Ron Wilson and knocked unconscious. Subsequently, Stitches was taken to prison.
Appearance
Under normal circumstances, Mr. Grayson dresses conservatively, wearing a grey sweater and tie, and wearing half-frame reading glasses. He is thin, and has short, light-colored hair. His overall appearance suggests an accountant.
When in disguise of Stitches, he wears a brightly-colored outfit that suggests a jester.
Personality
Under normal circumstances, acts very quiet and serious. Conversely, when in the guise of Stitches, he acts rather flip and frivolous. He capers about, giggles and talks in a flighty manner.
Relationships
Gwen Grayson
Stitches has a very subservient relationship with Gwen Grayson. He does what she says, and suffers any abuse she heaps on him. There is one scene in the movie (and one in a deleted scene) where Gwen grabs him by the throat and throttles him.
Powers and Abilities
During the course of Sky High, Stitches never demonstrates any noticeable powers or abilities, but merely acts as Royal Pain's gopher. His super-suit does appear to have some substance, suggesting that it is padded, if not armored.
