11
12	Super Dinosaur is an intelligent ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' who wears a harness that gives him functional arms and a lot of weapons. He hatched from an egg that Max Maximus stole from inner Earth. Maximus experimented on SD granting him exceptional intelligence and a small size (both relative to a normal T-Rex). SD became friends with the Dynamo family, especially Derek, and when the Dynamos learned about Maximus' evil plans SD sided with them against Maximus. SD acts like a human child of Derek's age. The two are best friends but as the only good dinosaur SD gets lonely.
13	----
14	* ChestInsignia: "SD".
15	* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Without his armor he's ''only'' a T-Rex. But the armor makes him a true force to be reckoned with.
16	* GeniusBruiser: Far more powerful han a normal T-Rex (which are already pretty powerful), and way smarter to boot.
17	* GreenEyedMonster: Gets jealous of Erin for stealing Derek away all the time.
18	* SuperPrototype: Illustrated by this exchange.
19	-->'''Tricerachops:''' You don't scare me! You were the precursor to my kind--the early model!
20	-->'''Super Dinosaur:''' And I'm still going to beat you!
21	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pie.

33
34	Derek is the son of the brilliant Dr. Dexter Dynamo. He uses his smarts and an array of gadgets to fight alongside SD. Derek can be a [[TotallyRadical Totally Awesome]] InsufferableGenius, but he is a hard worker and really cares for his friends and family. Presently he is neglecting his friendship with SD to spend time with Erin Kingston.
35	----
36	* AlliterativeName: '''D'''erek '''D'''ynamo.
37	* GadgeteerGenius: Built most if not all of the gadgets he uses.
38	* ImprobableAge: No older than 15, but he can do battle with all kinds of villains.
39	* InsufferableGenius: He's shying away away from this, but he spent the first issue talking about how [[TotallyRadical awesome]] he and team operation are.
40	* KidHero: Generally he plays support for SD, but he can be a hero in his own right.
41	* TrickedOutGloves: Which contain (at least) claws for climbing, a grappling hook, and a variety of bombs.
42	* WorthyOpponent: Derek is the closest to this The Exile has.

66	Sarah and Bruce Kingston are hired to help maintain Super Dinosaur's armor. They move with their daughters Erin and Erica into the Dynamo Dome. The parents are excellent mechanics and put together some specialized armors for SD. Erin is an excitable and fun girl who takes to her new Dynamo Dome life quickly.

84
85	Max Maximus is the former partner of Dr. Dynamo and one of the main villains of the series. He can seem AffablyEvil at first glance because of how typically comic booky he is, but in issue five we see new depths to his villainy. His goal is to access Inner Earth and use the Dynore, or as he calls it: Maxinite, to create an army of dino people. And then naturally TakeOverTheWorld. Fortunately when he was incarcerated his mind was partially erased of Inner Earth, but he escaped and seeks to find a way back.
86	----
87	* AffablyEvil: Arguably subverted. At first glance Maximus is a typical comic book villain. Unsuccesfully using his cronies to fight the heroes and coming up with schemes. Not to mention he's competing with The Exile who is a bit more intimidating. However as the series goes on we're seeing a side of Maximus that sets him aside and makes him a pretty effective villain.
88	* ArchEnemy: Shared a past with the Dynamos and created SD. The ante is upped when we learn [[spoiler: Maximus kidnapped Mrs. Dynamo and erased her from Derek and and Dr. Dynamo's memories.]] Arch-enemy indeed.
89	* BaldOfEvil: A bad guy, and bald.
90	* CardCarryingVillain: Of all SD's enemies Maximus most seems to revel in being an evil bastard.
91	* ObviouslyEvil: Let's see... tattered lab coat, [[BeardOfEvil goatee]], BaldOfEvil, [[ArtificialLimbs robotic arm]] with claws... Yup! Evil.
92	* VillainousBreakdown: Breaks down when he reflects that his Dino Man force is repeatedly beaten by a child and an armed T-Rex.

103	->'''Tricerachops:''' I am freeing my people from the oppression of Max Maximus! You are an enemy of his--why do you oppose me?!
104	->'''Derek:''' Because you're a bad guy?!
105	->'''Tricerachops:''' Things are not that simple, child!
106
107	Formerly TheDragon to Max Maximus. She was tired of his treatment of her and the other Dino-Men so she bailed and joined The Exile. 'Chops is [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy proud of her race]] and simply wants freedom from oppression.
108	----
109	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Has a rather bulky figure in the comic, while in the show she has a more feminine one.
110	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the TV show, she is working for Max Maximus; as opposed to her comic counterpart, who starts out having defected.
111	* {{Badbutt}}: Because ''Super Dinosaur'' is kid-friendly, TC doesn't kill people or swear, but she's a very skilled and cool [[TheDragon Dragon]].
112	* ChestInsignia: [[spoiler:The Dino Liberation Front emblem, which she's seen with in their introductory episode.]]
113	* CoolMask: A red one that covers the top of her face.
114	* TheDragon: Formerly to Maximus, then to The Exile by the beginning of the comic. [[spoiler:Until surrendering to Earthcore, then being broken out by Tyrannosaurus X.]]
115	* GoodCostumeSwitch: Downplayed. In the show, [[spoiler:after forming the Dino Liberation Front, the formerly green lights on her armor are now red, and she has an emblem painted onto her chestplate]].
116	* GoodScarsEvilScars: Her comic counterpart has a big scar under her mask.
117	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Her comic counterpart's eyes glow under her mask.
118	* GracefulLoser: See ScrewThisImOuttaHere
119	* LaserBlade: Her axe in the show has green[[note]]presumably Maxinite[[/note]] energy blades.
120	* NonMammalMammaries: Despite mostly looking like a dinosaur (i.e. a reptile), she has what seem to be breasts.
121	* PerpetualFrowner: We've yet to see her in a mood other than annoyed or flat out angry. Sort of Justified in that she's a Dino Man wearing a mask so her expressions may be hard to recognize.
122	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In #11, after not getting any results or help from The Exile, she and the Dino-Men surrender to Earthcore rather than continuing to fight a battle they couldn't win.
123	* TheStarscream: To Maximus.
124	* WeCanRuleTogether: In the episode "Jurassic Golf" of the TV show, after a brief battle with SD, she tries talking him into joining her and Maximus.

135
136	A mysterious figure who is fighting for a world ruled by Dino-Men. He is against the Super Dinosaur team as well as Maximus, and in fact rallied some of his Dino-Men to his cause, including Tricerachops. The Exile wields a staff with weaponized Dynore attached. [[spoiler: In actuality he's a creature from Inner Earth called a Reptiloid. He is trying to free his people from his brother, Monarch Slinn, by taking over the surface world.]]
137	----
138	* AdaptedOut: Makes no appearance in the TV show.
139	* AntiVillain: Yes, he wants to take over the world, but [[spoiler:his motivation is the liberation of his people who live under the oppression of his brother and in fear of dinosaurs.]]
140	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In #9, it's his own staff that Derek finally incapacitates him with.
141	* NoNameGiven: When he was exiled he was forced to give up his birth name. His own brother nearly forgot it.
142	* TheExile: He actually was exiled from his homeland.
143	* TheReveal: In Issue #9 it's revealed that [[spoiler:he is a Reptiloid.]]

156	->''"Our leader is incarcerated, our forces are scattered... but fear not, Dino-Men... all is not lost. Maximus '''prepared''' for such events. You are all to follow my orders until his return. Allow me to-- Oh, what? Do I look '''familiar?'''"''\
157	--Issue #7
158
159	A "failed" clone of Maximus. He was created using dino DNA to aid the cloning process, and as a result he slowly becomes more '''dino''' and less '''man'''. In Issue #18, [[spoiler:when his transformation is completed, he renames himself to Tyrannosaurus X and cements himself as a new evil power for Derek and SD to contend with. [[WakeUpCallBoss And he is no joke]]]].
160	----
161	* AttackItsWeakPoint: [[spoiler:During his and SD's first fight against T-X, Derek manages to land a hit on one of his opponent's energy ports, weakening him.]]
162	* CloneDegeneration: Before his transformation is complete he seems to suffer ignominy from his creator and physical stress from the transformation.
163	%%* DragonAscendant
164	* GeniusBruiser: Minimus has the same intellect as Maximus, and [[spoiler:by the time he's fully transformed, he possesses extraordinary physical prowess]].
165	* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:T-X is much more durable than the already hardy Dino-Men. It took a building blowing up around him to knock him out for ''a few'' minutes.]]
166	* {{Metamorphosis}}: The degeneration process happens over the course of many issues and is apparently very stressful for him.
167	* NearVillainVictory: Probably the nearest of any villain yet. SD and Derek have never been so soundly trounced.
168	%%* PainfulTransformation
169	* PowerGlows: [[spoiler:Apparently any time T-X is conscious the ports on his body radiate green energy/light.]]
170	* WellDoneSonGuy: In the show, what we wants the most is to make Maximus proud.
171	* YoungerThanTheyLook: In the show, he comes out of his cloning chamber already looking like a teen.
