NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service. It is a crime drama about special agents tackling crimes linked to Navy and Marine Corps. Gibbs leads this no-nonsense team. They use forensics, tech and behavioral analysis to crack tough cases. Since its 2003 debut, it has become a cultural sensation. There are even spin-offs.

Meet the Gibbs

5% Leroy Jethro Gibbs

This is basically the tiniest echo of Gibbs. A gruff nod, an eyebrow, someone who says less but means more — like a hint of danger in a cardigan. He’s got rules (or at least the idea of rules), drinks bad coffee proudly and has a weird soft spot for a dog he never adopted. Not a leader at all, probably hides a notebook of stern notes somewhere — or maybe that was a receipt, who knows.

25% Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Okay, 25% Gibbs is like the person who knows the list of rules and folds them neatly into their pocket. You get the calm stare, the ‘don’t talk’ vibe, and a knack for quiet competence that makes people trust him even if he grumbles. He enjoys boat-building in theory and actually owns at least two mugs with chips in them — sentimental but stubborn, honestly. There’s a soft center under the flannel, and he’ll probably be the one to show up with soup when things go sideways (or leave it on the porch and walk away, classic Gibbs).

50% Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Half Gibbs is where it gets fun — responsible, steady, and somehow intimidating without trying. This version follows rules, makes plans, but also knows when to throw the plan in the trash and go rogue (which he’ll deny later). He’s the guy who can fix a car, fix a team, and also have a stash of ridiculous sentimental items in a locked drawer. Loyal to a fault, low-key boss energy, probably hums old songs under his breath while carving a wooden boat — or is that just a rumor?

75% Leroy Jethro Gibbs

75% Gibbs is basically full-on boss mode with a side of mystery and a stubborn heart of gold. He commands rooms, has thirty rules you haven’t heard of, and eats pie like it’s a tactical decision. There’s a whole backstory you can sense — quiet tragedies, fierce loyalty, and a terrible habit of brooding in cars. Also collects pocketknives and probably writes names on paper cups in precise ink — he’s ancient and also kind of soft sometimes, don’t @ me.

100% Leroy Jethro Gibbs

100% Gibbs is the archetype: a living, breathing rulebook who will also quietly save your life and then pretend it was nothing. He’s NCIS energy turned up to eleven — the steely stare, the strategic silence, the mentor who smacks you with tough love. He owns several boats, an inexplicable number of flannel shirts, and a moral code carved into his brain (literally, maybe he tattooed it? no, wait). Wholeheartedly loyal, devastatingly private, and weirdly domestic when he lets his guard down — makes soup, names things, and will always, always insist on coffee that’s gone cold.
