Anti-Fairies are characters in the television program The Fairly OddParents. They are, as implied by their name, the opposite of the "good" fairies of Fairie World. Each Fairy has an anti-fairy counterpart, who is the exact opposite of said fairy.

[edit] History
Anti-Fairies consist of magical beings that are the exact opposite of their original fairy counter-parts, or doppelgangers. They are dark bluish-grey in skin colouration and their wings are bat-like. An example is that Anti-Cosmo is an evil, sophisticated genius with a monocle and an overly posh southern English accent; Anti-Wanda is a complete idiot and (as she puts it) "eats with mah feets"; and Anti-Jorgen is weak and puny. Anti-Cosmo seems to be their leader. Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda's voices sound very similar to that of Cosmo and Wanda, except for the fact that Anti-Cosmo speaks with an English accent, and Anti-Wanda talks in a hillbilly southern drawl. The only thing that Fairies and Anti-fairies have in common is love.The Anti-Fairies first appear in the episode "That Ol' Black Magic" in which it is Friday the 13th and Timmy's family go to Adrenaland. The Anti-Fairies cause bad luck when people step on a crack, spill a salt shaker, see a black cat, etc. Jorgen is in charge of the security, and when he gets distracted, they escape. Timmy captures them in the end and send them back to the Fairy World Prison.
Anti-Cosmo later reappeared in the comic story "Will the Real Cosmo Please Stand Up?" There, Timmy, angered with all the rules that Cosmo and Wanda have to follow, accidentally wishes he had a fairy godparent who isn't afraid to break them. Anti-Cosmo, hearing this plea, shows up and offers his assistance, which Timmy willingly accepts, despite Cosmo and Wanda telling him not to. Unbeknownst to Timmy, Anti-Cosmo secretly makes him too happy to have fairy godparents at all; upon discovering this, Timmy quickly returns to his usual miserable state.
Anti-Cosmo subsequently returns when Cosmo's Fa Giggly Gland (The organ in a fairy's body that allows them to change shape) begins to act up, and they learn that Anti-Cosmo's gland is working perfectly (Which, as he is an Anti-fairy, means that it too is malfunctioning). Cosmo's only hope is to have a Fagigily gland transplant (to have Cosmo's and Anti-Cosmo's Fa Giggly glands switched.) The situation is complicated by Jorgen's refusal to let Anti-Cosmo free, but Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda eventually sneak him out (Thanks to a plan developed by Anti-Cosmo himself) and the operation works. Following the operation, however, Anti-Cosmo escapes, but at the time sees no need to keep battling Cosmo since they now share part of each other (There are hints that more than the gland was transplanted, given that immediately after the operation Anti-Cosmo and Cosmo acted remarkably like each other).
The Anti-Fairies all make an appearance as major villains (along with Professor Finbarr Calamitous) in Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour II: When Nerds Collide. In it, Calamitous teams up with Anti-Cosmo to free his fellow Anti-Fairies. Anti-Cosmo betrays Calamitous and commands the Anti-Fairies to orbit the Earth and stop its rotation, making every day Friday the 13th. They do this for a limited time, until Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, Jimmy, Carl, Sheen, Cindy and Libby create enough bad luck to distract the Anti-Fairies. Jimmy then captures them all by combining Timmy's butterfly net with his hyper-cube. We assume that they were destroyed when they were used by Professor Calamitious for energy for his big bang bomb, but then again there are ways they could have survived, seeing as how Jorgen said he put everything back to normal.

[edit] Anti-Cosmo
Anti-Cosmo is possibly the leader of the Anti-Fairies. His personality is sadistic, sarcastic and proud.
He has only appeared in a couple of episodes, but has gained a lot of fan attention. His first appearance was in the episode "That Ol' Black Magic". In this episode all of the Anti-Fairies escaped from their Magic prison on Friday the 13th and he and the other Anti-Fairies made chaos in Adreanaland. Timmy used some magical Anti-Fairies glasses to see them (Da rules state that Anti-Fairies cannot be seen on Earth but Jorgen amended the rule to read 'Anti-Fairies cannot be seen on earth, without magical glasses.' in order to help Timmy to capture them all again) and he, Cosmo and Wanda intentionally created a lot of bad luck in order attract them. Since then Jorgen has modified it to 'Anti-Fairies can be seen on Earth' as seen in JimmyTimmy Power Hour 2.
In later episodes Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda helped him escape from the Magic Prison in order for him to donate his Fa-Giggly gland to Cosmo. After the transplant both he and Cosmo temporarily exchanged some personality traits but it quickly wore off (apparently).
He is married to Anti-Wanda, an idiotic Anti-Fairy and although they seem mis-matched he does seem to care for her ("Oh, Anti-Wanda, I do love you so much, but you are such a twit!"). Also, when Cosmo, Timmy, and Wanda first arrive at the Fairyworld Maximum Security Prison, he states, "Hello, Clarice," a classic ominous line stated by Dr. Hannibal Lecter from Thomas Harris' novel, The Silence of the Lambs. In addition, the cell in which Anti-Cosmo is kept is separated from the outside by a clear wall of acrylic glass with airholes in it, which is the same for Lecter in the film adaptation of Harris' novel of the same name.
Though everyone states that Anti-Cosmo is a genius, the majority of his plans aren't fool-proof, and from time to time the things he does don't exactly work out. He was actually very easily tricked back into Fairy World in the first episode he appeared in. In the Gland Plan, as it was stated, he actually didn't take the time to measure the stick he was daunting with, though Wanda blamed it on Cosmo anyhow. And in the second JimmyTimmy Power Hour, he obviously overlooked the fact that he left the key in Jorgen and Calamitous' jail cell lock, and the fact that his anti-fairies may be easily distracted and let go of the Earth's rotation. Anti-Cosmo does seem to have utmost loyalty to his fellow Anti-Fairies and his wife, as seen in JTPH2 as he attempted to break them all out.
Whereas Cosmo is an idiot for whom everything works out all right in the end, Anti-Cosmo conversely seems doomed to failure.
