| “ | Philip!!! | ” |
| — Cosmo, talking to his favorite nickel, Philip | ||
Cosmo Julius Fairywinkle-Cosma (né Cosma) is the deuteragonist of The Fairly OddParents alongside his wife Wanda and one of the main characters on the show. He is one of Timmy, and Chloe's fairy godparents alongside his wife, Wanda, and his son, Periwinkle (Formerly Poof). Cosmo is one of the dumbest characters on the show, rivaled only by Timmy's Dad, and his ideas are what often lead Timmy into trouble. He is also, at times, a bit over-emotional. Cosmo is voiced by Daran Norris in both the cartoon and the live action "Fairly Odd Movie" and its sequels. A humanized version of Cosmo also appeared in the first live-action movie, played in live-action by Jason Alexander.
He also appears in its short-lived sequel series, The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder where he acts as one of Viv and Roy's fairy godparents, the other being his wife, Wanda. Like in the original series, he is voiced by Daran Norris. The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder never canonically happened, so going by Fairly Odd canon, these events never happened.
Cosmo appears again in The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, this time as one of Hazel Wells's fairy godparents, along with Wanda. He is still voiced by Daran Norris to this day.
Character
As of The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish Cosmo is Hazel Wells' current fairy godfather. Formerly being Timmy Turner's fairy godfather (and later on Chloe Charmichael's, however its unknown if this canonically happened due to it never being mentioned in The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish). Cosmo canonically was never the fairly godfather to Viv Turner and Roy Raskin, because as of the current canon, The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder never canonically happened, This is because in The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, it is never mentioned that Cosmo and Wanda knew Viv Turner and Roy Raskin, with them only mentioning Timmy Turner as their "last godkid before Hazel Well, meaning as of current canon Viv Turner, Roy Raskin and the entirety of The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, and it's events, never happened. Along with his wife, Wanda, he was tasked with making miserable human children happy by granting them wishes and keeping them safe. Unfortunately, due to Cosmo's immense lack of intelligence, he often puts Timmy in danger with his wishes or misinterprets the wording of a wish and grants it wrong, wreaking havoc.
Despite his low I.Q. and carefree attitude, he really does love his wife and his godchildren. It is hard for him to be apart from Wanda, and he gets extremely jealous when other men (particularly Juandissimo) flirt with her. He often goes along with Timmy's wishes, unlike Wanda who is a little strict about them. He and Wanda eventually have a child named Poof, which then was changed to Peri.
He is the youngest son of the overprotective Mama Cosma, who did not approve of him marrying Wanda Fairywinkle-Cosma in the least bit and has often tried to separate the two. Cosmo was once the last Fairy ever born, as his birth caused the ban of fairy babies until Poof came along. Courtesy of Timmy's wish, he was apparently also in a band where he played the electric triangle, although he was terrible, as tomatoes were thrown at him every time he played.
Description
Cosmo has green hair and green eyes. His pants, shoes, and tie are black. He almost always wears a long-sleeve white shirt. Like all Fairy Godparents, he has a magic wand, fly-like wings for hovering and flying, and a crown that floats above his head. Cosmo seems to have gotten most of his appearance from his long-lost father, Papa Cosmo. Surprisingly, despite being a magical creature, he has a naval (Source: Episode Timmy TV in season 5).
In The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, Cosmo now wears a brown belt. Due to him pretending to be Hazel's human neighbor now, he has a commonly used human form. While in this form, he has a slight gut and a single strand of chest hair sticking out, and he wears gold star-shaped sunglasses with purple lenses, a white shirt, a green jacket with a bowling logo on the back, dark blue sweatpants, white socks and purple sandals.
Personality
Cosmo is usually the cause behind Timmy's crazy adventures, often misunderstanding circumstances, or agreeing to grant a dumb wish. He will sometimes cause Timmy to realize what has to be done to reverse a wish, but this does not happen often. He also keeps a diary, which has all of his deepest, darkest secrets, including the fact that he is afraid of the hunt. He is often the subject of magic from Wanda, who usually does something to him to shut him up, including zipping his mouth and then encasing him in vanadium.
There are countless other scenarios. He is often rather careless but loves Wanda, Peri, Timmy Turner and plays as a very loving father (as to Peri, and godfather to Timmy) and husband. Cosmo is noted to be one of the most powerful fairies ever, seeing as he blew up all of Fairy World in the first 5 seconds after he was born, sunk Atlantis 9 times, destroyed Fairy World again 5 more times, caused Mt. Vesuvius to erupt and destroy Pompeii, transformed Xanadu into Pittsburg, summoned up a gigantic three-headed hydra, whom he dubbed "Snowball", with one careless wave of his wand, and was able to accidentally wish away Wanda's wand and make wands in Wishology, which is something that it is said that fairies cannot do when they say that magic cannot wish away magic. These actions would make the Fairies decide not to have any more children until Peri was born ten thousand years later.
Cosmo also has had a big crush on the Tooth Fairy in some episodes but yet never had a chance to show it because she is in a relationship with Jorgen. Cosmo is also very ticklish.
Cosmo has flirted or had interest with quite a few other women in the show, which makes Wanda very jealous and angry. There have been many instances in the show that shows Cosmo flirting or having interests with other women, including the Tooth Fairy, an evil alien princess name Mandie, and even Wanda's twin sister Blonda.
While pregnant with Poof/Peri during Fairly Odd Baby, Cosmo experienced severe mood swings so much so that his temper even scared Wanda and Timmy. In Lights Out, he even went along with Wanda's plan to get back at Timmy who had scared Poof after reading the young fairy baby a scary story.
Food
He seems to have an obsession over most food especially red meat (bacon, wieners, ham, etc.). Almost every time he is seen with food it is exaggerated. It has even become a running gag in the series. The first time he was seen to love red meat was in Hard Copy with bacon as he could not resist it when Wanda made it. However, there are a few foods he doesn't like. This includes beets and sauerkraut.
Other times that food has been exaggerated are:
- Wishology! - Wieners
- Anti-Poof - Hoagies
- Scary GodCouple - Rump roast and veal parmesan
- Fairly Odd Baby - Jelly in his ear
- Timmy's Secret Wish! - Barbeque
Intelligence
Cosmo's intellect, or lack of thereof, is often a source of many of the disastrous wishes that happen on the show. His head is quite literally empty and has no brain inside to speak of. According to "Fairly Odd Baby", his head is completely full of jelly. He will either misinterpret a wish completely, ignore a rule or plot point which would prevent the wish from easily being unwished, or outright wish-grant the wrong thing that leads to trouble for Timmy. However, there are occasionally times when Cosmo is able to grant a wish on his own without Wanda just fine, such as in Where's Wanda?. In earlier episodes, Cosmo and Wanda usually split some of the blame, being "two halves of a whole idiot", but in later seasons it is usually just Cosmo being irresponsible that leads to chaos. In some rare cases, especially in a few Season 7 episodes, Cosmo shows brief and uncharacteristic bouts of knowledge when he is able to guess or summarize the plot of an episode without any other character knowing what is going on. It can also be argued that since giving birth to Poof, Cosmo has started to mature little by little as he learns to be a father. Despite his lack of intelligence, he was smart enough to invent a board game by the name of Cosmonopoly, a parody of the non-fictional board game Monopoly. In the early "Oh Yeah! Cartoons" shorts, Cosmo was considerably more intelligent (and Wanda less intelligent) than how he would later be in the show. Cosmo has a strange obsession over a Nickel whom he named Philip, which adds more remedial to his character since he stated Philip was a girl nickel. In Season 9's episode I Dream of Cosmo, it is revealed that Cosmo has raisins in his head so he can make raisin brain cereal, according to Wanda. It is also revealed that his brain is actually really, really small.
Background
Early life
Ever since the day Cosmo was born, he has been causing chaos. When he got a magical rattle, he accidentally used it to turn Jorgen into a bomb that blew up all of Fairy World. The second he got old enough to receive his first wand, he turned his father into a fly, never to be seen again. When Cosmo turned five, Mama Cosma put him in art classes. Instead of painting, he caused an explosion that took out half the class while making an exploding daisy. Later on, because of his dangerous lack of control over his magic, his mother sent him to the Fairy Godparent Academy much to Cosmo's distress, where Jorgen Von Strangle, who at the time, a 5-star commander in the Fairy Academy, taught him as well as many others. Cosmo has then been known as the worst thing to happen to Fairy World everywhere. Examples include: when fairies learned accuracy with their magic and turned flying plates into birds and butterflies, he turned his plate into a destructive hydra that he named "Snowball", which became his new pet, and while fairies discovered the strange place of Atlantis, Cosmo sunk it 9 times, gaining the nickname "The Accursed One". This caused Jorgen to lose his stars and gain a strong despise of Cosmo, as well as ban fairy babies from being born.
Meeting Wanda
Cosmo and Wanda's first meeting
After graduating with the worst results, he became a full-fledged fairy, and sunk Atlantis another eight times. The amazing and unbelievable chaos and destruction Cosmo caused in his life out of his carelessness and stupidity made the Supreme Fairy Council have Jorgen add a new rule to Da Rules that would forbid the birth of any more Fairy Babies, making Cosmo the last Fairy ever born, until Timmy wished they had a baby and Poof/Peri was born (Jorgen wrote the rule on a sticky note but never officially put it in). Because he was so disaster-prone, nobody wanted to be around him, turning him into an outcast who was bullied by everyone, even the nerds. While he was working at a fast-food restaurant, he met Wanda, which happened to be love at first sight, proposed to her with a chewed pen cap, and they later got married. But, according to Nick.com's short Cosmo's Baby Book, Cosmo and Wanda first met when they were babies. It's possible that since they were babies, Cosmo and Wanda forgot about their meeting and met again at a restaurant years after their first meeting. However, this is completely contradicted in Cosmonopoly when wand a says that they met when Cosmo accidentally ran her over with his car.

Family
Cosmo's family includes his mother, the overprotective Mama Cosma, and his father, Papa Cosmo, who he turned into a fly. He also has an unseen grandfather, Grandpa Gonzo. His wife is Wanda Fairywinkle-Cosma (who Mama Cosma hates), his son is Peri (Formerly known as Poof) and his current godchild is Hazel Wells, formerly being Timmy Turner. He also has an older brother called Schnozmo (although earlier on in the series, Wanda said that Cosmo was an only child). Recently, Mama Cosma has not been as mean to Wanda, possibly implying that since Peri was born, they had a truce.
Birth of Poof
- Main article: Fairly Odd Baby
About a year or so after receiving Cosmo as his fairy godparent, Timmy wishes that Cosmo and Wanda would have a baby together in hopes that they would become happier. Due to the awkward way that Fairy Pregnancy works, Cosmo was the one who became pregnant (instead of Wanda). He began to throw up purple goo everywhere, had strange mood swings and cravings, and his belly became big and round. Although the Pixies and Anti-Fairies were plotting to steal Cosmo and Wanda's baby away, they did not succeed, and Cosmo and Wanda welcomed a son named Poof (before changing his name to Peri) into their family.

Live-Actions Movies
- Main article: Live-Action Movies
In the live-action film "A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!", Cosmo is still Timmy Turner's fairy godfather after thirteen years. Cosmo is seen in both CGI-animated form (voiced by Daran Norris) and a live-action "human" form where he is played by Jason Alexander.
In the film, Cosmo and Wanda try to put a stop to Timmy's budding relationship with Tootie, because if he falls in love with her, he will no longer be considered to be a child and he will lose his fairies forever. At one point, Cosmo and Wanda transform themselves into humans in order to disrupt Timmy and Tootie's date.
After Tootie is captured by Hugh J. Magnate Jr., Cosmo and Wanda initially decide not to rescue her, so that they can stay with Timmy, but Poof gives them an "intense stare of guilt" and brings them to realize they've been doing the wrong thing. They are then suddenly captured by Mr. Crocker and placed in his Atomic Fairy Incarcerator, where their magic is rerouted so that they are forced to grant Magnate's wishes, which also slowly drains away their life force. However, Timmy manages to save them by confessing his love to Tootie and passionately kissing her, which causes him to officially lose his fairies due to him having now officially grown up, but also frees them from Magnate. In the end, because of how much Timmy loved them, though, the Fairy Council adds the Timmy Turner Loophole to Da Rules, allowing Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof to stay with Timmy into his adulthood, and with Tootie allowed to know of their existence as long as Timmy uses their magic to help people and not for his own gain.
Cosmo in A Fairly Odd Christmas
Then, in "A Fairly Odd Christmas", he's still alongside Timmy and Tootie, as they run the Wishful Thinking van around the world granting wishing. When all the wish-granting bothers Santa Claus, he follows Timmy to the North Pole.
When Timmy makes a wish inside Santa's Workshop, Cosmo is the one who tries to grant it but his wand ends up firing a magic bean into Santa's direction, making him fall and get injured. Timmy then must go on a quest to meet Elmer the Elder Elf, the only one capable of fixing this mess. Cosmo goes with Timmy - even though he was afraid of the danger they could face, he was convinced by Wanda to go, even without magic (due to the North Pole's polarity).
At the end of A Fairly Odd Summer Timmy becomes a fairy and Cosmo, Wanda and Poof are assigned as the new godparents of Marty and Mitzie
Its most likely the live action movies aren't a part of the Fairly Odd canon
Main Series
In Channel Chasers, it is shown that he and Wanda will become fairy godparents to Timmy's future children Tammy and Tommy, however its unlikely that it's happened yet, and its very much possible that Channel Chasers ending will be retconned from current Fairly OddParents Canon, since in The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, Timmy Turner is mentioned by name to have been Cosmo and Wanda's "last godkid" before Hazel Wells. It will be more likely that its retconned if Timmy makes an appearance in A New Wish Season 2, that A) doesn't match his Channel Chasers appearance, and B) Isn't shown to be married to Trixie Tang (more likely) or Tootie (less likely).
Relationships
Cosmo and Wanda
- Main article: Cosmo and Wanda (pairing)
Cosmo and Wanda's romance blossoming
Cosmo and Wanda is considered the official pairing of the show, and has countless episodes and merchandise which support it. Cosmo is shown to love and care about his wife very much. In some episodes, this is inverted, and Cosmo seems to dislike Wanda or want to escape from marriage, but this is almost universally considered to have no true intention and has never had a long-term effect on their relationship in the series. In some episodes, Cosmo always defends Wanda and gets jealous of Juandissimo. This proves that Cosmo really loves his wife and always will. Cosmo and Wanda met when they were teenagers; Cosmo was a nerd that worked a diner, and Wanda was a popular girl. Cosmo proposed to Wanda with a chewed pen cap. They eventually got married, and have
been so for about ten thousand years.
Despite their contrasting personalities and their tendencies to argue, they stay married and have a good relationship. Wanda usually acts as the mind (and the bravery) while Cosmo acts as the fun. Cosmo often regards Wanda as a nag and neglects her words, sometimes even when they are in his favor.
Cosmo and Timmy
- Main article: Cosmo and Timmy
Cosmo and Timmy
In some cases, Cosmo's stupidity rubs off the wrong way on Timmy, and he is usually the one causing Timmy to make a bad wish when Wanda is advising against it. Cosmo and Timmy share more of a buddy relationship rather than a father-son relationship. As seen in the episode "Fly Boy", Cosmo and Timmy both disobeyed Wanda telling them they can't see the movie, "I Was a Teenage Blowfly". Despite falling for Cosmo's ideas, Timmy is usually well aware of how unintelligent Cosmo really is, as seen in "What's The Difference?" when Timmy found one of the missing wands and was about to give it to Cosmo, but realized the error of his decision and quickly gave it to Wanda instead. But if Cosmo's idea sounds fun enough, Timmy will go with it anyways. Usually, Cosmo's the one who encourages Timmy to make a dumb wish, or it's his idea. However, there are some rare cases in which Cosmo and Wanda switch places, and Cosmo does the worrying instead of Wanda. This is shown in "Just Deserts!" when Cosmo was against the idea of everybody eating only sweets, and Wanda was all for it because of her love of chocolate. This was even used as a recurring joke with Cosmo saying; "I'm not usually one to [insert something Wanda would do], that's Wanda, but..." various times throughout the episode.
Despite all of this, Timmy and Cosmo care about each other very much and they would do what they can to protect each other and make each other happy, along with Wanda and eventually, Poof!
Cosmo and Periwinkle
- Main article: Cosmo and Poof
Cosmo and Poof (Baby)
Cosmo and Peri (back when he went by Poof) have a good relationship like a young father and infant son would have. Poof refers to Cosmo as "Dada" and somewhat recognizes his father's stupidity, but loves him with all his heart. Whenever Cosmo and Wanda get taken away from Poof, he starts to cry and will usually be stopped by Timmy, who makes faces to stop him from crying. Just like Wanda, Cosmo couldn't live with himself knowing that something happened to his baby.
In A New Wish, its shown that Cosmo still cares for his son, and Peri does too for his dad, but is shown to be embarrassed by his father.
Cosmo and Jorgen Von Strangle
In "Cosmo Rules", Cosmo learns that he is Jorgen Von Strangle's first cousin.
Cosmo, along with Wanda and Binky, being flattened by Jorgen.
Jorgen often bullies Cosmo, as he does everyone, and Cosmo shows fear of Jorgen. In "This Is Your Wish", it is revealed that Jorgen holds a large amount of animosity toward Cosmo for ruining the lives of (and possibly killing) many people, causing much chaos, and ruining civilizations countlessly during his time at the Fairy Academy, in which Jorgen acted as his drill sergeant. Since then, he has been acting out revenge by tormenting Cosmo and his wife, Wanda. Whenever he remembers the events, he is shown in a rare site of pity and regret, until bursting with anger towards Cosmo. Cosmo's constant overimaginated stupidity caused Jorgen to create a new rule focusing on Cosmo by keeping from the birth of any more fairies that could be like Cosmo.
Despite this, Jorgen enjoys the company of Cosmo rather than Wanda. In several episodes, Jorgen blames Wanda for is clearly Cosmo's fault, and refers to him like a bottle of a disaster waiting to happen every second. In current episodes, they get along much better.
Cosmo and Sparky
He has a really great relationship with Sparky. He apparently has fleas and bites on his butt like Sparky on Fairly OddPet. They sometimes cause havoc together. However, ever since A New Wish, its possible that Cosmo forgot about Sparky's existence, since sparky ended up in Hocus Poconos, after Timmy's Wishes were unwished when he eventually lost his fairy godparents.
Cosmo and Chloe
He Likes Chloe and seems to prefer her over Timmy this has been true as He Seem To Have To No Issue Watch The Fair Bears With Her In The The Fair Bears
Cosmo and Hazel
Cosmo is shown to like Hazel, although its possible he liked Timmy more than her (Please update this, i cant think of anything else to write right now)

Trivia
- In "Turning Into Turner", a close-up shot of his future driver's license reveals:
- Cosmo is 3'6".
- He has no weight.
- He is an organ donor.
- His legal name name reads "Cosmo Fairywin-" before it is cut off by the screen, therefore likely giving his legal name as Cosmo Fairywinkle or Fairywinkle-Cosma; this means he has legally changed or hyphenated his last name to match Wanda's, Making Peri's (Formerly Poof's) full name Periwinkle Fairlywinkle-Cosma
