Kowalski is ranked as Second-In-Command as being Skipper's Lieutenant. Also being the group strategist and gadgeteer. He's is the smartest and the tallest and probably even the oldest being the tallest of the group. Kowalski uses a notepad or clipboard with a pencil or a whiteboard and a marker to take notes for creating plans and putting down information with drawings since he can't read. Being known as the 'Options Guy'. Has a love for Science and loves to create inventions even though his inventions lead to trouble for him and the other penguins. He tends to use long and educated words that the others aren't always able to understand and sometimes ask him to repeat in simple terms. It is known that he has a crush on a bottle nosed dolphin named Doris even though it is said by Private that she just wants to be friends with him instead of being a couple. Kowalski believes that intellect is stronger than brute force and can sometimes be arrogant or boastful about his intelligence.

Name Origin: Not much is known but 'Kowal' does means blacksmith in Polish. The 'ski' part is the common surname suffix in Polish (I think.. the details are fuzzy..). Yeah, not much origin information but I tried.

Major Episode Appearances

Since Kowalski appears in every episode I can't simply call them 'Episode Appearances' can I? So, that's why they're called Major Episode Appearances since there are episodes that really focus on Kowalski. I most likely won't put them all down just some of them.

Episode 124b: Jiggles

Kowalski makes a little square jell-o like blob that he names Jiggles. Feeling proud of his new creation he starts analyzing Jiggles. He notes down that Jiggles doesn't like fish when it eats a piece of sushi and spits it out but when he eats the fruit which it likes, he then grows, making him bigger. When Maurice and Mort gather fruit for King Julien's smoothie, he throws so much fruit that it goes over the lemur habitat making a pile a fruit that Jiggles eats, making him even more bigger. All the penguins except Kowalski think of Jiggles as a monster now because of it's large size. With none of the penguins except Kowalski not understanding Jiggles he takes it back to his lab and talks with him but it quickly leaves and takes Bing's bananas. Bing comes to the Penguin HQ, saying that he lost his bananas, then Jiggles barges in through the lab with Bing's bananas. Kowalski pushes Jiggles back into the lab and shuts the door as Rico then regurgitates screws to lock the door but Jiggles makes a hole in the roof to be able to get outside. Knowing that Jiggles needs to be stopped, Kowalski makes a plain to trap him by using a coconut-pineapple sunscreen to lure him but the plain doesn't work as Juilen sprays the sunscreen on himself and Jiggles eats him. Soon even Kowalski is eaten with Jiggles thinking he's a piece of fruit but spits him and Julien both out when Julien reaches in Kowalski's throat to get a fish. Kowalski traps Jiggles in the garage as he soon gets something to stop him for good but that something he used was his shrink ray, with Jiggles being small once again.

Episode 201b: It's About Time

Kowalski announces that he's built a time machine which he calls it the Chronotron. Skipper and Rico are eager to use it to beat up hippies but he informs them that it's not complete, requiring "5 ounces of Macguffium 239" and knows how to get it, from a laboratory in Midtown. While looking for the Macguffium, Private meets Kowalski from the future who warns him that using the Chronotron will lead to disaster and choas. Private suggests that he talks to his counterpart but Kowalski-A refuses, saying that if he comes into contact with his past self, the space-time continuum will be ripped asunder by a chronal vortex. Acting on his orders, Private tries multiple times to get rid of the Macguffin but fails until he spills it, not knowing that Kowalski has another one. While Kowalski finishes his work on the Chronotron, Private meets with Kowalski-A, knowing that the machine is too near to completion and since Kowalski-A talking to his counterpart would be bad Kowalski-A hides inside a shoebox and uses Private as a mediator to talk to Kowalski into destroying the Chronotron which he eventually succeeds. Meanwhile, Skipper meets Kowalski-B who warns him that the Chrontron's destruction will result in the end of the universe as a paradox. Hiding inside a laundry bag and using Skipper as a mediator, Kowalski-B attempts to stop Kowalski destroying the Chronotron. An argument breaks out between Skipper and Private and they both soon learn that they both have future Kowalski's. Skipper recovers the Macguffium sample and returns it but is stopped by the future Kowalski's with Kowalski now knowing their existence. A paradox creates a rift in the universe which rapidly begins sucking in nearby objects. Kowalski travels back in time using the Chronotron who becomes Kowalski-A who goes back in time to find Skipper, becoming Kowalski-B. Rico becomes fed up with all the trouble the Chronotron did and throws it into the rift which seals it.
