Why is Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz from "Phineas and Ferb" so determined to take over the Tri-State Area? We know that's his ultimate goal, but he never truly gave us a specific reason for it, so today we'll try to find out just that.

At the same time, we should ask ourselves: what's up with Doof's parents? Heinz seems to hate everyone and everything on the planet, and we know he intends to make them all pay but, somehow, that's not the case for his parents.
