Mr. Rosebank
Ebenezer Rosebank: world-famous inventor and ice cream maker, and husband of Mrs. Rosebank, the principal of Swedhump Elementary. Builder of the legendary Ice Cream machine (ICM).
Teaches: Invention Inventing Major Accomplishment: Too many to list Loves: Ice cream
His masterpiece is the legendary Ice Cream Machine, which took him fifty years to build. He made the prototype, a baby ICM, as an elementary-school kid, and won first prize in the school science competition.
Has a dedicated inventor's shed on school premises, which is STRICTLY OUT OF BOUNDS.
If a kid is caught near the shed, he or she will be expelled immediately.
It is believed that under the shed are multiple floors, mezzanines and concourses of invention factories. And since Mr. Rosebank is so prolific, some speculate that he might have dozens, perhaps even hundreds of people or robots working for him?
Perhaps that's why his inventor's shed is OUT OF BOUNDS?
He is a leading expert on invisibility, and unusually motivated to develop an antidote for Invizizz stings, on account of what happened to his wife.

- Invisibility Shields
- KB-15
- Nose on the Noncycle
- P'tonk-45
- Zap-flattener
- Hamsterometer 88
- Leak Snodometer
- Rainbow-Maker 154
As is fairly obvious, Mr. Rosebank is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, VERY, very, very, very clever. He is, obviously a genius.
He can invent pretty-much anything.
What we do know is that he has not yet invented the MTC-88-X. We can't tell you what it is, because nobody knows. Not even Mr. Rosebank himself!
He's so clever that he recently invented an invention for inventing things. It is one of the best inventions around. Quite a few people want one and he can't build them fast enough. Perhaps to solve the problem he should invent a device that simultaneously invents multiple inventions for inventing things. That would solve the problem, wouldn't it?
