The leader of the group. He's invented many weapons and gadgets that are usually of some use. By Season 4 he becomes a ''lot'' more [[TheChessmaster manipulative]] and [[MacGyvering innovative.]]
* AdaptationalBadass
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: The focus of this for Maria, much to Andy's dismay.
* AnimeHair: Lampshaded [[LemonyNarrator by the narrator]] in the ''very first episode'':
--> "No one knows why his hair does that. Is it static electricity? Is it hair gel? No, probably not.''
* BookDumb: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Pharaoh Andrew":
--> '''Hobbes:''' You know, if you actually studied, you'd get a few things done school-wise.
* BrilliantButLazy: Taken UpToEleven; he's invented several amazing objects, later turning into TheChessmaster, and yet still fails at school.
* CaptainCrash: [[InvokedTrope Invoked:]] he makes it a point that the wagon needs to be crashed at least twice each week.
* CaptainObvious: He keeps having to explain things to Hobbes in "The Pharaoh Andrew".
* CharacterDevelopment: Along with Andy, he's the most blatant example.
* CharacterExaggeration: His knack for inventing is much more prominent here.
* TheChessmaster
* DeadpanSnarker
* DeathGlare: Gives one in Nocturnals that the authors says "would've chilled a six-pack".

-> '''Voiced by:''' TomHanks
Calvin's best friend. Though he's always harbored a reluctance for adventure, here he's gone to straight-up [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere running away from danger]], at least until "Thunderstorm".
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Gets pretty steamed up to the point of nearly '''killing''' Sherman, if it wasn't for Calvin's interference in "Remember." "R.I.P Calvin" and "Thunderstorm" also shows him in a LetsGetDangerous mode.
* CharacterDevelopment: His progression from LovableCoward to DirtyCoward, and eventually reversed entirely.
* CharacterExaggeration: His reluctance for adventure. This is eventually reversed.
* CowardlyLion
* DeadpanSnarker
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic, along with the MTM.
* GenreSavvy: He knows the outcome of Calvin's constant misadventures.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Calvin calls him out on this in "Thunderstorm".
* TheLancer
* LovableCoward: He's usually this.
** He started to become more of a DirtyCoward. WordOfGod says that this was an unintentional {{Flanderization}}, as they inadvertently made Hobbes so cowardly he was almost unlikeable. To resolve this, they took Hobbes' cowardice UpToEleven in the Season 3 finale, until [[spoiler: Calvin finally calls him on it with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech]], prompting Hobbes to subsequently make an effort that seems to have stuck in the seasons that followed.
* NotSoImaginaryFriend
* OffscreenTeleportation: His preferred method of cowardice.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[RunningGag Constantly.]] PlayedForDrama [=and/or=] {{deconstructed}}, and downplayed thereafter, in "Thunderstorm".

--> '''Susie:''' Calvin, you live by your own rules! You make things up! You create! You destroy! You tease temptation! You do all sorts of horrible things, most of them to me, yes, but then there are days you do good all on your own! You shouldn't let something like Karma run your life! You need to be rude and nasty and gross and weird, so that you can be good on your own accord.
** WorldOfCardboardSpeech
* BelligerentSexualTension: While it is still downplayed like it was in the comic strip, Calvin and Susie have had the odd quasi-romantic moment.
* BerserkButton: While she's harmless enough at face value, all it takes is Calvin throwing a water balloon or a snowball at her to unleash the wrath of hell upon him.
* RepeatWhatYouJustSaid: Sometimes Hobbes will go off on a hypothetical romantic tangent about Calvin's supposed secret feelings for Susie. While the [[CalvinAndHobbes comic strip's Calvin]] would've usually started fighting him, this version of Calvin prefers the more subtle approach: "I'm sorry.

* ArmCannon: Gains a Type 2 when [[MoralityDial evil.]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* EvilCounterpart: Can be seen as one to the MTM, as they're both [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] [[DoAnythingRobot Do Anything Robots.]]

[[folder: Rupert Chill and Earl]]
Two aliens out to get Calvin.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish
* [[spoiler:HoistByHisOwnPetard]]: In his earliest appearances, Rupert would disguise himself whenever he'd arrive on Earth as [[NamesTheSame a human criminal of the same name]]. (The Season 3 episode "The Five Calvins" implies this was intentional on alien!Rupert's part.) This comes back to bite him at the end of the Season 5 premiere when [[spoiler:Calvin arranges for Rupert to be arrested by police while wearing his human disguise]].
* TheCaligula: Rupert is the ruler of the planet Zok, yet seems to spend most of his time attempting to [[TakeOverTheWorld invade the Earth]], trying to kill Calvin and his friends, [[SurroundedByIdiots yelling at his crew]], or some combination thereof.
* [[spoiler: DragonAscendant]]: With [[spoiler: Rupert's arrest]] in the Season Five premiere, it looks like this may be happening to [[spoiler: Earl]].
* TheyJustDontGetIt: The only reason they believe that Calvin is the Supreme Earth Potentate is because Galaxoid and Nebular told them. They steadfastly believe this to be true, despite all evidence to the contrary (including Calvin flat out telling them).

[[folder: Susie Derkins]]
-> '''Voiced by:''' Dakota Fannings
Calvin's [[GirlNextDoor neighbor]]. She is his age and goes to school with him. She is constantly being annoyed by him.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: When Calvin nearly drives himself insane trying to be good so that Karma won't hurt him, it's Susie who talks him down.
--> '''Susie:''' Calvin, you live by your own rules! You make things up! You create! You destroy! You tease temptation! You do all sorts of horrible things, most of them to me, yes, but then there are days you do good all on your own! You shouldn't let something like Karma run your life! You need to be rude and nasty and gross and weird, so that you can be good on your own accord.
** WorldOfCardboardSpeech
* BelligerentSexualTension: While it is still downplayed like it was in the comic strip, Calvin and Susie have had the odd quasi-romantic moment.
* BerserkButton: While she's harmless enough at face value, all it takes is Calvin throwing a water balloon or a snowball at her to unleash the wrath of hell upon him.
* RepeatWhatYouJustSaid: Sometimes Hobbes will go off on a hypothetical romantic tangent about Calvin's supposed secret feelings for Susie. While the [[CalvinAndHobbes comic strip's Calvin]] would've usually started fighting him, this version of Calvin prefers the more subtle approach: "I'm sorry. What did you say?" in a dangerously low voice. Hobbes tends to shut up after that.
