Personality

Cal Jordan was an imaginative boy whose curiosity usually got him into trouble—Cal especially seemed to get himself in deep trouble wherever Novacom was concerned. He and Alex Jefferson once were grounded for breaking into the Campbell College website. They had also made contact with AREM during the Novacom saga. Cal still didn't learn his lesson and later climbed a tower on Tom Riley's land in order to rip out the wires, getting severely injured in the process.

History

Cal Jordan was the former record holder for catching the most mini-marshmallows in his mouth in a row at Whit's End, with a score of 47. Wooton Bassett shot the marshmallows using David's slingshot from the Bible Room, and Wooton described it as "brutal". Kyle, who was babysat by Eugene and Katrina Meltsner in the episode #712: “Child's Play”, became the new record holder, beating Cal by one marshmallow.

Family

Main article: Jefferson family

Cal lives with his dad, but there is never a reference to his mom. As far as we know, Cal has no siblings, and his dad will leave town quite often. When this occurs, Cal usually stays with his cousin, Alex Jefferson. Cal has an uncle Ralph, who called him an "electronic whiz."

Trivia

• Cal's name may be an allusion to Green Lantern alter-ego Hal Jordan.
