Principal Steinbeck is a supporting antagonist in the SuperMarioLogan series. He is the main antagonist of the Bowser Junior's Summer School series and Bowser Junior's Homework. He is Bowser Junior's archenemy. He is an evil principal who speaks with a British accent and hates everyone at school, especially Bowser Junior. He later returned as the secondary antagonist in the Bowser Junior's 1st Grade! series. He replaces the teacher with David Winkle. In the end of Bowser Junior's Summer School, he was defeated by walking out of Jackie Chu's classroom and leaves Junior and Jackie Chu. He has a minor role in the Bowser Junior's 1st Grade! series, because he only had a few appearances in the series. He then returned in First Day of School! as a minor antagonist, but then he stopped appearing in SML videos ever since that video. Since SML has been family friendly since 2019, Steinbeck might not return ever again because he screams and swears at students and psychically and verbally abuses them, but this was later proven false as of 2021 since he returned in Cody Goes To College and Cody's Drawing where he became less evil and acted different and friendlier in both episodes as he was no longer screaming or swearing at students or beating them up and he was instead telling Junior about how trash his grades were, was being nice to Cody and it was even revealed in Cody's Drawing that he made a promise to his mother on her deathbed that the school would win.
He was portrayed by Lovell Stanton, who also portrayed Bubbles and voiced Bowser, The Green Pigs, Chef Pee Pee, and Joseph.
He also appeared in a Puppet Pals video called The Vicious Dinosaur returns to town as he appears in the principal's office and he insults Bowser Junior and beats him up but then he gets defeated when The Vicious Dinosaur kills him with a gun.
History
Early life
Not much is known about Steinbeck's life before SML existed, but it was mentioned in the Bowser Junior's 1st Grade series that he loved Doofy O's cereal during his childhood, implying that he possibly watched Doofy the Dragon which must be the reason why he became the evil, mean and abusive psychopath he was ever since 2014. He also became a school principal at some point before he appeared in the SML series.

Junior then kills the fly, knocking out Steinbeck in the process. Jackie Chu is glad that Junior killed the fly and passes him.

Personality
Principal Steinbeck is a mean, cruel, unkind, selfish, sadistic, angry, rude, uncaring, somewhat insane, evil and bossy principal. However, despite being all of that, he isn't completely evil because he hates pedophiles. He also became a lot nicer in 2021 as he was not antagonistic towards Cody and Junior like he was before and he was actually nice to Cody, meaning that he possibly redeemed himself.
