6	!!Max

8	--> '''Portrayed by:''' Cayden Boyd
9	-----
10	* FriendlessBackground: Marissa is the closest thing he has to an actual friend, and even then, Mr. Electricidad wants absolutely none of it. It's no wonder he made up Sharkboy and Lavagirl to help cope with it all.
11	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He’s a nice kid with blond hair.
12	* TheHero: He is the main hero of the movie. His goal is to save Planet Drool and his school from both Mr. Electric and Minus.
13	* HeroicBSOD: He undergoes a big one after the sudden deaths of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
14	* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Planet Drool was dreamt up by Max, so while there, [[YourMindMakesItReal his dreams can become reality]]. Sharkboy and Lavagirl even consider him more powerful than either of them because of this, but it takes much of the movie for him to start using his dream-based powers to their fullest, culminating in him learning to daydream and becoming a borderline RealityWarper there.
15	* MrImagination: Kid's got one ''heck'' of an imagination.
16	* ParentalNeglect: Max's parents don't have much time to pay attention to him, so he turns to his dreams for comfort.
17	* RealityWarper: On Planet Drool, he can create anything he can imagine and use any superpower he can think of.
18	* TookALevelInBadass: When he realizes his daydreaming ability on Planet Drool, he becomes a reality warper and therefore one of the most powerful beings on the planet.
19
20	!!Linus
21	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_2856.jpeg]]
22	--> '''Portrayed by:''' Jacob Davich
23	A bully who picks on Max [[spoiler:(at first)]].
24	-----
25	* BigEater: He is a very hungry boy.
26	* BrattyHalfPint: He's Max's age and a huge jerk.
27	* TheBully: Max is his favorite target.
28	* BullyTurnedBuddy: [[spoiler:To Max after his HeelFaceTurn as Minus.]]
29	* FreudianExcuse: Max hypothesizes that Minus had his dreams shattered long ago and became embittered as a result. Presumably, this is also true of the real Linus.
30	* LargeHam: "Mr. Electric, send him to the principal's office and ''have him EXPELLED''!!!"
31
32	!!Mr. Electricidad
33	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_2858.jpeg]]
34	--> '''Portrayed by:''' Creator/GeorgeLopez
35	Max's homeroom teacher.
36	-----
37	* BadassTeacher: Unlike most teachers in fiction, he doesn’t tolerate any bullies, especially when they pick on Max.
38	* BerserkButton: He doesn't take it kindly when his students mispronounce his last name.
39	* BoyfriendBlockingDad: He notices that his daughter likes Max and tells Max not to make friends with her, because he’s overprotective of her.
40	* HeelRealization: He's quite thrown to realize that Max cast him as a bad guy in his dream.
41	* {{Hypocrite}}: Tells Max to make friends, but not with his daughter, because he’s overprotective of her.
42	* LargeHam: "At the end of class, both of you will report to the principal's office...WITH YOUR PARENTS!"
43	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: While he doesn't quite approve of Max's daydreaming, he's not unreasonably strict either. Overall, he's more or less a regular teacher trying to maintain order in his classroom. It's even [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] in the climax when he sees Mr. Electric.
44
45	!!Marissa
46	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_2860_6.jpeg]]
47	--> '''Portrayed by:''' Creator/SashaPieterse
48	Mr. Electricidad's daughter, and Max's classmate.
49	-----
50	* BespectacledCutie: She's sweet, adorable, and bespectacled. A younger version than most, but still.
51	* AnIcePerson: Her Planet Drool counterpart, the Ice Princess, wields a gem capable of freezing anything. When Max brings it back from Planet Drool, the real Marissa proves to be able to use it as well.
52	* MrImagination: Like Max, she has quite the active imagination.
53	* OnlyFriend: Although they're not quite friends, she's the only kid who seems to show Max any sort of kindness.
54	* TheGlassesGottaGo: Upon receiving the Crystal Heart, she removes her glasses before using it to finish off Mr Electric.

58	!!Sharkboy
59	[[quoteright:587:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kid_sharkboy.jpg]]
60	--> '''Portrayed by:''' Creator/TaylorLautner
61	A boy who was [[RaisedByWolves Raised by Sharks]] and aspires to be named King of the Ocean.
62	-----
63	* AbsurdlySharpClaws: Sharp enough to scratch up a blackboard.
64	* BerserkButton: He does not like high-pitched sounds. At all. It actually comes in handy once, as the ensuing UnstoppableRage allows him to tear through a metal cage like cardboard.
65	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Through living with sharks, he effectively ''became'' part-shark. Try not to think about it too hard.
66	* ChewingTheScenery: Oftentimes literally, thanks to his mouth full of shark teeth.
67	* CrazyJealousGuy: One of the reasons Sharkboy is so harsh and cold with Max, to the point of nearly attacking him a few times, is that his crush, Lavagirl, is very affectionate and motherly towards him.
68	* DoesNotLikeSpam: He really hates chocolate.
69	* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: In a fight, he prefers to get up close and personal with his strength and keen reflexes, in contrast to Lavagirl.
70	* HotBlooded: He's pretty impatient with practically ''everything'' the trio encounters.
71	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be really harsh and cold to Max for his ignorance about the dream world, but still respects him more or less.
72	* LightningBruiser: He's stronger and faster than Lavagirl.
73	* MakingASplash: He can shoot water out of his hands.
74	* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Since he was raised by sharks and turned partly into one, he sports a lower jaw brimming with rows of wicked-looking triangular teeth.
75	* OppositesAttract: With Lavagirl.
76	* ParentalSubstitute: Max created him as a stand-in for his father.
77	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The blue boy to Lavagirl's pink girl. (Well, more of a bluish-gray, but still.)
78	* RedOniBlueOni: Ironically, despite their water and fire themes, Sharkboy is the Red Oni of the eponymous pair. He's quite temperamental and destructive, while Lavagirl is more calm and gentle.
79	* SharkMan: He has the body of a boy, but has certain shark characteristics, like gills, a dorsal fin, and shark teeth.
80
81	!!Lavagirl
82	[[quoteright:636:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kid_lavagirl.jpg]]
83	--> '''Portrayed by:''' Taylor Dooley
84	A girl with the ability to control lava.
85	-----
86	* AmnesiacHero: She remembers nothing about her past.
87	* BlessedWithSuck: Having lava powers would be cool, if she didn't accidentally burn things and people on a regular basis. Suffice it to say, she's not very thrilled about the last bit.
88	--> '''Lavagirl:''' Why did you make me out of lava?! Why, Max?
89	* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Her main quest through the movie is to find out what her real purpose is. [[spoiler:When she is resurrected, she learns that her true purpose is to be light.]]
90	* DudeMagnet: Sharkboy has a crush on her, Linus called her hot, and Max wrote in his dream journal that he thinks she’s cute.
91	* FauxActionGirl: Much is made of Lavagirl's destructive power, but she fails to hurt Mr. Electric, does nothing to any of his minions, and spends most of her time in the Ice Castle, where it would have made the most sense for her fire to come into play, frozen solid in a block of ice.
92	* FieryRedhead: A very literal one (even though her hair is actually pink).
93	* FieryStoic: She has lava powers, but she's calm and quiet most of the time.
94	* FlamingHair: Whenever she gets mad, her hair spontaneously ignites.
95	* GreenEyedMonster: Towards the Ice Princess for Sharkboy talking about her reputation for being very beautiful, and also because of her power over ice, which is Lavagirl's weakness.
96	* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Lavagirl generally relies more on using her powers to attack with streams of lava, in contrast to Sharkboy relying more on his fists.
97	* HeroicBSOD: She goes through one after accidentally destroying Max's dream journal.
98	* LogicalWeakness: Of course water and cold temperatures would be dangerous to a girl made of molten lava.
99	* MagmaMan: Her body is made of lava, giving her powers such as the ability to shoot lava out of her hands.
100	* MysteriousPast: Unlike Sharkboy, we get nothing about Lavagirl's past.
101	* NiceGirl: A lot more gentler and caring towards Max out of the duo.
102	* OppositesAttract: With Sharkboy.
103	* ParentalSubstitute: Max created her as a stand-in for his mother.
104	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The pink girl to Sharkboy's blue boy.
105	* PowerIncontinence: As an unfortunate side effect of her abilities, she also burns everything she touches.
106	* RedOniBlueOni: Ironically, despite their water and fire themes, Lavagirl is the Blue Oni. She's kind and tranquil, while Sharkboy is more reckless and easily angered.
107	* SlimeGirl: A variation. Since she's more or less living lava, she can distort her body in various ways, which include [[ExorcistHead turning her head around a full 360 degrees]], [[HarmlessLiquefaction melting her body into a lava puddle to move freely around to escape capture]], and in one scene [[AnArmAndALeg one of her legs detaches from her body and she immediately fuses it back on]].
108	* SuperStrength: She can lift a desk one-handed like it's nothing.
109	* TeamMom: She is usually the one who looks out for Max and has to keep Sharkboy under control.
110
111	!!Mr. Electric
112	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_2862_8.jpeg]]
113	--> '''Portrayed by:''' George Lopez
114	-----
115	* AndYouWereThere: He's based off of Mr. Electricidad, mainly his face and over the top performance.
116	* DragonAscendant: For the last leg of the film, Minus makes a HeelFaceTurn, and Mr. Electric takes over as the true top villain.
117	* DragonInChief: Although Minus is the leader of Planet Drool, Mr. Electric has always been a bigger direct threat than Minus.
118	* EvilIsHammy: The faces he makes are just the tip of the iceberg.
119	-->'''Mr. Electric''': Who turned on the '''''LIIIIIIIIGHTS'''''?!
120	* FaceHeelTurn: According to Lavagirl, Mr. Electric used to be the benign electrician of Planet Drool before he started trying to take it over for Minus.
121	* LiterallyShatteredLives: He's finally stopped by Marissa using the Crystal Heart (which Max brought back from Planet Drool) to freeze him solid and shatter him.
122	* PungeonMaster: He constantly makes puns relating to, as you'd probably expect, electricity.
123	* TVHeadRobot: His main body appears to be a giant screen with Mr. Electricidad's distorted face on it.
124
125	!!Minus
126	[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_2864_0.jpeg]]
127	--> '''Portrayed by:''' Jacob Davich
128	-----
129	* AppropriatedAppellation: His name is the EmbarrassingNickname Mr. Electricidad gave to Linus.
130	* BigBad: He's the reason why Planet Drool is in the ruined state that it is.
131	* ChestInsignia: A minus symbol, naturally.
132	* EvilIsHammy: Oh dear God, ''yes''.
133	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:By the end of the movie, he makes one with the help of Max.]]
134	* HighCollarOfDoom: As if he wasn't already enough of a bad guy, Minus sports one nearly as tall as his entire head. He loses it after his HeelFaceTurn.
135	* LargeHam: Just like his real world counterpart.
136	* RealityWarper: He can do anything he can imagine.
137	* SuperpoweredAlterEgo: He’s this for Linus.
