Jughead (sometimes shortened to Jug or Juggie) is the best friend of Archie Andrews. In the Little Archie series, his real name is revealed by Miss Grundy at the start of class. After learning that this ancestor was married nine times, Jughead reverted to his nickname. For a brief time, Jughead started to use his given name in honor of his ancestor. He is named after his ancestor who is an American hero. After Archie and Reggie leave the office, the audience learns that the woman is actually Jughead's aunt who has just lied as a favor to Jughead to help keep his real first name (Forsythe) hidden. In one story, Archie Andrews and Reggie Mantle go to the school office, where a woman tells them that Jughead's real first name is Steve.

In the earlier comics, a running gag involved various characters trying to discover Jughead's real name, while Jughead thwarted their efforts. He is revealed to be extremely clever and creative when necessary and he often takes advantage of Reggie's and his other tormentors' weaknesses (and has fun all the while). Many episodes involve Reggie and Jughead trying to outdo one another with pranks and bets, and Jughead almost always comes out the victor. His many quirks make him the butt of teasing and abuse from Reggie, Veronica, and even other classmates and teachers. He is considered a bit of an oddity, but prefers his nonconformism as opposed to going along with others styles.
