A FieryRedhead, ActionGirl and Ace's former sidekick. Sparx is an energetic, hot-headed and at times arrogant young Lightning Knight. Sparx can run into situations without thinking, often making her a DistressedDamsel, although she's still a BadassDamsel. She actually has no superpowers, but uses the Sword of Jacob in combat along with her gymnastic and acrobatic skills. She flies on a hovercraft called the Lightning Flash.
* ActionGirl
* BadAss
* BadassDamsel: Even when she's captured, Sparx is still awesome. In Episode 25, [[spoiler: Sparx convinces Dirty Rat to start a rebellion against Lord Fear.]]

* CoolSword
* DistressedDamsel: Sparx has a tendency to get captured by the villains.

A 35-year old cyborg Lightning Knight, Random Virus was wounded in a battle that [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel left him with no legs and one arm.]] His progamming and psyche was also messed up, leaving him with a [[SplitPersonality]]. One side is a good person but fearful of his own powers, and his evil side who has a twisted sense of justice wants to crush everything weak in the universe, starting with Ace. Random's evil side often takes control and may side with the villains to defeat the Lightning Knights. He can control machinery and electricity, which is appropriate since he lives in a junkyard.
* AlasPoorVillain: He doesn't want to be evil.
* ArtificialLimbs: Random lost much of his body in an offscreen accident, resulting in the loss of his legs and his right arm. He now has caterpillar tracks and a large claw instead.
* BadAss: Perhaps the most badass character in the show.
* BigDamnHeroes: Random repeatedly comes to save the day when Ace is haivng his ass handed to him.
* ChainedToARock: Lord Fear chains Random up when he tries to join the villains.
* CorruptCop
* Cyborg
* DownInTheDumps: Random hangs around in a junkyard and is quite depressed so it suits him.

* FallenHero: Ace often reminds him of this, but this often causes Random to join in the fight as a hero.
* JekyllAndHide: Random interchanges between his good and evil personalities a lot.
* LawfulNeutral: Random often tries to stay in this position to avoid harming others.
* LightningGun: Random has a wrist cannon but only uses it in the game, and shoots fireballs from it.
* PunchClockVillain
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge
* Technopath
* TooWeakToLive: Random's evil side sees most life as weak.
* TwoFaced: He doesn't mean to be.
* VillainousBreakdown: Random somewhat has one in Episode 26 - "I'M NOT WEAK! I'M STRONG!"

Mark's best friend, Chuck Mugel first appears as an obese nerd who likes eating junk food. However, he is quite jolly, has a good outlook on life and just happens to be a big fan of the Ace Lightning video game. In the second season, Chuck loses weight, wears glasses and becomes the computer expert of the Lightning Knights after learning of their existence.
* BedsheetGhost: In Episode 15, Chuck is covered in a bedsheet and unintentionally chases Dirty Rat out of Mark's house.
* ChairmanOfTheBoard: Chuck is Chairman of the Conestoga Hills Chapter of the Ace Lightning Fanclub. He resigns after meeting Jessica Fisgus.
* ComicRelief: Pretty much the funniest character in the show. His habit of being sick is often used as a RunningGag, and his tendency to overreact to events.
* DemonicPossession: Chuck is possessed by Rotgut in Episode 36.
* DisappearedDad: Chuck's father is never mentioned nor seen.
* EmbarrasingNickname: Wayne calls Chuck "Upchuck" for his vomiting habit. Chuck calls his superpowered foot "Thunderfoot" for a short time.
* FullNameUltimatum: Jessica calls Chuck by his full name when angry - "Charles Nelson Mugel".
* GeekyGlasses: Chuck wears glasses in the second season.
* Nerd
* NewAndImproved: Chuck pretty much describes himself as this in the first episode of Season 2.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Chuck is almost killed by a rampaging Ace, but recovers.]]
* ProudToBeAGeek
* RebelLeader: Chuck rallies the students to rise up against Mr. Cheseborough in Episode 25 after he finds out the food budget has been cut in the school cafeteria.
* SecretKeeper: Kept Mark's secret.
* Sidekick: To both Ace and Mark.
* SuperpowersForADay: Chuck gains superhuman strength after being struck by a deflected lightning bolt.
* TheSmartGuy: Despite being bullied, Chuck is quite intelligent, building is own robot with help from Mr. Cheseborough and spends time at a computer camp.
* TechnoWizard
* VomitChainReaction: Chuck has a nasty habit of being sick. In the first episode he comments how he threw up on a bus and it caused pandemonium. This trope really comes into play in Episode 4 where Chuck hurls after finding a pea in his dessert, causing other people in the room to throw up and flee the cafeteria.

* ApocalypticLog: Mark talks to his friend Pete via a webcam usually in every episode.



* BigNo: In the final episode where [[spoiler: Mark thinks Ace as been wounded by Lord Fear, but it is revealed to be Lady Illusion in disguise.]]
* LightningGun: Gets his own wrist cannon in the second series which fans have affectionally called "The Super Glove of Doom". It does have a strong resemblance to the [[TheWizard Power Glove]].
* MoralEventHorizon: Mark nearly has one in Episode 26 when he's given the tedious decision whether or not to delete the game from his computer, which would delete all the character too. He doesn't go through with it, of course. This can also double as a SadisticChoice.



* ReluctantWarrior: Mark keeps saying throughout the series that he is not a hero or a Lightning Knight.

Knight.
* Sidekick
* SupportingProtagonist: Subverted. At times he goes from supporting protagonist to main protagonist.
* TenMinuteRetirement: Mark quits the superhero business for half an episode.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: That's pretty must the jist of this show - with video game characters. Mark even appears to acknowledge this in Episode 2 - "First save the world, then be home in time for dinner."
* TheWoobie: Mark just needs a hug sometimes. His life is pretty much turned upside-down by the video game characters, and he has to keep their existence a secret from his friends and family. [[spoiler: He also loses his first girlfriend Samantha Thompson because of Lady Illusion, and in Episode 12 just completely throws the towel in after having bad grades, at odds with his parents, stalked and kidnapped by Lord Fear, and then insulted by Sparx. Give this guy a break!]]

The heroes of the show, the Lightning Knights are interdimensional superheroes/policemen who guard the Sixth Dimension from evil. Their authority spreads to other worlds when Ace Lightning chases Lord Fear to Earth. While only five members are introduced in the series, the show's creator [[WordOfGod|revealed]] that there were more Lightning Knights, some of which are stronger than Ace and Random Virus combined.

The viewpoint character of the series (most of the time) and the [[Narrator]]. Mark is a teenage British kid who moves to Conestoga Hills, USA and is at first a [[FishOutOfWater]]. His house is struck by lightning and characters from his favourite video game come to life, and is enlisted by Ace to be his sidekick. Thus he is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent turned ReluctantWarrior. Over time he becomes more courageous and in the second season becomes a full-fledged Lightning Knight, complete with his own, more advanced, wrist cannon (although it fits the length of his arm.)

* BadAss: Particularly when he is struck by lightning in Episode 2.



* BroughtDownToNormal: In Episode 7, Ace's superpowers are removed by Zip and Snip, and he has to walk around disguised as a masked police officer.
* CatchPhrase: The code of the Lightning Knights: "Do right and fear not."
* ChasteHero: Ace admits he's never flirted before.
* DatingCatwoman: Ace dates Lady Illusion, although it is in secret for most of the first season. It is hinted from a line by Ace to Lady Illusion ("Still wanna brag about you power, playmate?") that the two characters spent time together as children.



* FishOutOfWater: Ace is bamboozled by Earth, often fiddling with technology in Mark's house and destroying it. He also gates a hatred for garden gnomes, although this stems from an encounter with living gnomes in the Sixth Dimension. Ace again fits this trope when he experiences his new emotions in the second season.



* HeroicBSOD: Ace literally has one when he is frozen in place when a virus interrupts a data transfer. Lady Illusion snaps him out of it with their FirstKiss.
* LightningGun: Ace has two "wrist cannons" which can fire his electrical attacks.
* NarmCharm: Ace often has a lot of Narm moments, but he is a parody of the stereotypical superhero and comments once that he wants a cape.
* RingOfFire: Subverted. In the second season, Ace gains an ability called "Ring of Flame" which projects small rings of fire.
* RunningGag: Ace often breaks objects in Mark's house, usually out of curiosity although some cases he thinks he has done wrong and breaks them. Mark's parents never learn how the objects break and blame "shoddy American construction." Such victims of Ace's curiosity include a blender, Mark's backdoor, the handle of a fridge, Mark's bedroom window, and a running machine owned by Mark's mother Fiona. Ace also destroys several garden gnomes, and a hand dryer in the school.
* ShockAndAwe: Oh, yeah. Ace uses lightning in all of his battles and can even turn it into multiple forms - including spears, a lasso, an energy ball, and can create a wall of electricity which envelopes Ace and causes him to disappear.




to:

* WelcomeToTheRealWorld: Ace has a hard time getting used to Earth.
* WhatTheHellHero: Ace goes a bit crazy when he first gains his emotions - he shouts at Mark, attacks Random Virus ''after'' he came to help him, and even [[spoiler: accidentally shoots Chuck with a lightning bolt although he survives.]]

[[WMG: Ace Lightning]]
The main character, protagonist, titular character and superhero from another world, Ace Lightning comes to Earth to capture runaway villain Lord Fear and his gang, and regain the [[MacGuffin|Amulet of Zoar]]. He can fly, has superhuman strength and can fire electricity from the wrist cannons he wears. He starts off as a stereotypical superhero with a strong wit and good sense of justice, but [[spoiler: he begins dating villain Lady Illusion, and in the second season is given unstable human emotions that cause him to go a little crazy at times.]]
*BigDamnHeroes: Along with Sparx and Random Virus.
*BrainwashedAndCrazy: In Episode 13, Ace is turned into a zombie by Googler's sockpuppets. He goes a bit loopy when he first gets his unstable emotions in the second season.
*DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: This character was the reason for this trope's creation. Ace's superhuman strength causes him to unintentionally trash Mark's house throughout the first season
*Flight
*TheHero
*SuperStrength
*TropeNamer: Formerly. Originally named the DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength trope as "Ace Lightning Syndrome".
