Carlton Banks is Will’s cousin and the second child to Mr and Mrs Banks. Although Carlton and Will often trade insults, Carlton obviously cares about Will. He dresses in a preppy style, has conservative political leanings, is obsessed with college and his future career, is fairly short, and does not enjoy the popular music of most people his age. Despite his geeky persona, he is well-built. He is often seen making ridiculously self-centered comments and is often slapped on the head by Will.
