Ferb, the alpha brother
Phineas, leader of the pack
Caroline Hubbard, Editor-in-Chief
In the children's TV show "Phineas and Ferb," both brothers dedicated their summer to "doing it all," yet only one brother truly made the most of their 104 days – Ferb.
Ferb, while more quiet and reserved, is truly the brains of the operations."

Since Phineas was more outgoing and talkative, he is often credited as the better brother. This is not true. Ferb, while more quiet and reserved, is truly the brains of the operations.
Take every invention, for example. While Phineas was always on the ground holding blueprints, and talking, Ferb was doing the actual building.

Phineas always asked, "Where's Perry?" Ever wonder why Ferb did not care to ask? Because he knew.
Between the two brothers Ferb is superior and was truly the brains behind everything.
