This Love Exalted has been confirmed to be on the Heroic Benchmark Wiki to be a Heroic Benchmark. Although these characters have too much corrupting factors, have too much moral agency issues, are insufficiently characterized, are purely innocent, have standard heroism or heavily fail the in-story standards that prevent them from standing out to be at least Inconsistently Admirable, they are still noble and heroic enough in their own right. Do not remove Love Exalteds from this category unless they have been removed from the Heroic Benchmark Wiki. Failure to following these rules will result in a block. | ||
| “ | I am a good father! | „ |

Richard Buckley Watterson is one of the three tritagonists (alongside Anais and Nicole) in the animated series The Amazing World of Gumball. He is a large, pink rabbit and the well-meaning but incredibly lazy and incompetent father of Gumball, Darwin, and Anais, and husband to Nicole Watterson.
He is voiced by Dan Russell.
What Makes Him Love Exalted?[]
- Despite being unemployed and often causing problems due to his incompetence and clumsiness, he deeply loves his family and tries to do the right thing.
- Despite his irresponsible moments, there are times when he has been shown to be a responsible parent disciplinarian.
- His recklessness is not malicious, intentional, or taken seriously enough to detract from his lovability.
- While he was a neglectful jerk to his family throughout Season 1, this quality was subverted.
- In "The Hero", he saves Gumball and Darwin from a car crusher and makes up with them.
- In "The Return," he rescues Gumball, Darwin and Anais from a ball pit in a shipping container that was being sent to another country.
- In "The Choices," it is revealed in a flashback that he encouraged Nicole to start "living" her life instead of pressuring herself, and it is also shown that, despite his antics, he was the best choice for her as a husband and that she wouldn't change anything about him and her family.
- Overall, he has done many heroic deeds throughout the course of the series to help his family, such as rushing to Joyful Burger with his family to sign the job application and gain money to ensure Elmore's production budget is regained and the universe's animation doesn't collapse into nothingness in "The Money" and helping his family stop the rampage of the Evil Turtle's babies around Elmore before Nicole drives their mother towards the shore in "The Nest".
