3	[[folder:Current Members]]
4	!!The MC Bat Commander
5	-->Portrayed by: Christian Jacobs
6	-->Debut album: ''The Return of The Aquabats!''
7
8	Bombastic leader of the team. Easily identified by his drawn on mustache and blacked out tooth.
9
10	* ArbitrarySkepticism: Fights monsters every day, but ''laughs'' at the idea that Eaglebones might have an invisible bird.
11	* BadassNormal: Has no powers, but still fights robots, aliens, and all manner of evil. He's also a pretty good physical fighter, too.
12	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Is every bit the goofball he acts like, but has proven his mettle more than once; coordinating the defeat of Space Monster M, single handedly fighting off the Cobra Man, and luring a monster to destroy the Cowboy Android.
13	* TheGamblingAddict: The episode ''[=CobraMan!=]'' shows him to be psychologically incapable of refusing a bet, no matter how likely he is to lose. This gets exploited by both friend and foe alike.
14	* IndyPloy: An expert at this. He even sings about his love for winging it in an episode of the ''Super Show!''.
15	* ItsAllAboutMe: Can be pretty arrogant at times.
16	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tends to be rather selfish or rude to the others, but usually comes through when they need him.
17	* LargeHam: Frankly, you couldn't sing The Aquabats! lyrics without being one.
18	* PointyHairedBoss: Out of incompetence rather than any real malice.
19	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Battles with dropkicks, elbow strikes, and submission holds when possible.
20
21	!!Crash [=McLarson=]
22	-->Portrayed by: Chad Larson
23	-->Debut album: ''The Return Of The Aquabats!''
24
25	Team big-man and bass player. Able to grow super huge by harnessing his overemotional nature.
26
27	* BerserkButton: Do not upset children while he is nearby. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and definitely don't break Jimmy.]]
28	%%* BigBrotherMentor: Desperately wants one.
29	* BigOlEyebrows: Has some downright impressive brows. Even more played up in cartoon form.
30	%%* TheBigGuy: An odd combo of Type II and IV.
31	* {{Catchphrase}}: "Getting '''EMOTIONAL!'''"
32	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: At times.
33	* DumbMuscle: Even without using his powers, he's pretty tough. [[spoiler:As the Battle Beast, he clobbers the rest of the band until they slowly beat him down with numbers.]]
34	* EmotionalBruiser: Has the emotional stability of a small child, and is the team muscle.
35	* FriendToAllChildren: Probably because he still acts like one.
36	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:After the show was cancelled, he found work as Silver Skull's Battle Beast. In his defense, he didn't want to hurt his friends, just knock them out and sell their shoes online.]]
37	* HiddenDepths: Hidden in plain sight. Crash might be a manchild, but he's a damn good bassist.
38	* LargeHam: In several senses of the term.
39	* {{Manchild}}: Requests bedtime stories, has a very active imagination, believes his dirty socks are lucky, and does not handle stress well.
40	* ManlyFacialHair: Eventually grew a big, wild beard. The others think its [[InsistentTerminology totally savage.]]
41	* PowerIncontinence: He doesn't have great control over his growing powers and can rarely ever trigger them at will, usually requiring one of the other Aquabats to set him off. Also, while anger and grief trigger his powers, fear doesn't and actually makes him revert to normal, as the fight against Space Monster M demonstrates.
42	* {{Sizeshifter}}: Grows giant when distressed... [[ForgotAboutHisPowers most of the time.]]
43	* UnskilledButStrong: Doesn't seem to have any fighting skills to speak of, but his size changing powers make him the single most powerful member of the team and even at normal size he's the strongest of the 'Bats.
44
45	!!Eaglebones Falconhawk
46	-->Portrayed by: Ian Fowles
47	-->Debut album: ''Hi-Five Soup!''
48
49	The teams shaggy haired guitarist. Able to shoot lasers from his guitar, and summon his awesome animal friend The Dude.
50
51	* AnimalCompanion: The Dude.
52	* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Badass bird in general, it would seem.
53	* ArchEnemy: His brother, EEEEAAAGLECLAW!
54	* CainAndAbel: Him and his brother Eagleclaw.
55	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Eventually has to learn that you can't help everybody.
56	* InstrumentOfMurder: His laser shooting guitar.
57	* InvisibleToNormals: The Dude is invisible to most people, including Eaglebones until he got his second sight ability.
58	* MadeOfPlasticine: He's got hollow bones, making him the most vulnerable of the Aquabats.
59	* MusicalAssassin: How well he plays seems to affect how powerful the lasers are.
60	* NobleBirdOfPrey: The Dude.
61	* TookALevelInKindness: Starts out with a huge ego, but is humbled when his arrogance almost gets him killed.
62	* TransformationSequence: Sort of. His summoning The Dude gets this.
63	* TrueSight: He received this [[RequiredSecondaryPowers so he could see The Dude]].
64
65	!!Jimmy The Robot
66	-->Portrayed by: James Briggs
67	-->Debut album: ''The Fury of The Aquabats!''
68
69	Robotic keyboardist and saxophonist, slash brains of the team.
70
71	* DoAnythingRobot: From scientific study, to pouring drinks out of his fingers, and of course, playing the keyboard.
72	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His name. Going by ''Jamie'' The Robot and then just "The Robot" before ''Charge!!''
73	* EasilyDetachableRobotParts: He can remove his hands pretty [[{{Pun}} handily]], and at one point Eaglebones unscrewed his head.
74	* FingerFirearms: The main use of his robot hands.
75	* GeniusBruiser: Super strong ''and'' super smart.
76	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Seems constantly worried that his friends don't really care about him. [[TrueCompanions They do.]]
77	* KamehameHadoken: He uses a hadoken on the Battle Beast in ''Saturday Morning''.
78	* LiteralGenie: Does not always get metaphors.
79	* NightmareFetishist: Sometimes reacts to monsters and mutation with intrigue or outright affection.
80	* ParentalNeglect: He chose to be a superhero instead of working on a orchard.
81	* ProperlyParanoid: He has a fear of being abandoned by his teammates which ultimately comes to fruition in ''Saturday Morning'' where he was ''sold'' to some scrap merchants by his employer at a video game arcade.
82	* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: The only tell that he's a robot are his metal hands and chin.
83	* TheSmartGuy: With his super-robot science knowledge.
84	* WellDoneSonGuy: His father built him to pick apples, but he chose to be a superhero who plays saxophone. His father was too arrogant to admit he was proud of him.
85	* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Seems to be very insecure about being a robot.
86
87	!!Ricky Fitness
88	-->Portrayed by: Richard Falomir
89	-->Debut album: ''Charge!!''
90
91	The team's fitness inclined and SuperSpeed possessing drummer.
92
93	* AcePilot: Of the Drum Copter he inexplicably has.
94	* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Averted. He's one of the ''less'' hammy members of the team.
95	* CasanovaWannabe: Has a thing for the ladies.
96	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the ''Super Show'' pilot, Ricky was originally an aggressively goofy member of the team. He's much more restrained in the actual program albeit a tad girl crazy and obsessed with fitness.
97	* ForgotAboutHisPowers: The whole band gets this, but Ricky in particular rarely ever uses his super-speed.
98	* TheHeart: Occasionally. Best demonstrated in ''Saturday Morning'', where he's the one to rally the Aquabats after the magic horn is broken and reminds them they can still bring back the Super Show without it.
99	* InterspeciesRomance: Briefly dated one [[MultipleHeadCase head]] of a man eating Siren.
100	* NeatFreak: Very serious about keeping clean.
101	* NotSoAboveItAll: He's a firm advocate for healthy eating, but even he can't resist donuts, burgers, and pizza.
102	* OutOfFocus: Compared to the others, Ricky doesn't get a whole lot to do. He gets his share of focus episodes, but his character is the least outlandish of the group, and his speed powers are rarely useful or even used at all.
103	* SuperSpeed: His power.
104

110
111	Royalty, trumpet player, and original member of The Aquabats.

113	* {{Flight}}: One of powers during "The Return of The Aquabats". Along with...
114	%%* {{Invisibility}}
115	%%* InnocentBlueEyes
116	* ModestRoyalty: Nothing visually sets him apart from the other Aquabats, and he's only seen crowded once in a promo image
117	* NobleFugitive : He, along with the other band members, was hunted by [[BigBad Space Monster M]] in the Pre-Supershow Canon
118	%%* PrinceCharming
119	%%* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething

159	[[/folder]]
160
161	[[folder:In-Universe Characters]]
162	!!Professor Monty Corndog
163	* BigGood: In the original canon and the MCBC's flashback sequence (which is of dubious truth), he's the one who granted the Aquabats their abilities.
164
165	!!Powdered Milk Man
166	* GreenEyedMonster: His villainous backstory is that he was never allowed to drink the milk his family's farm produced while the rest of the world was, instead being forced to subsist on powdered milk.
167
168	!![=ManAnt=] (formerly Mant)
169	* EvilIsHammy: Considering he shares a voice actor with [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Sheldon Plankton]], this is a given.
170	* {{Revenge}}: He wants to get his on Crash for seemingly abandoning him.
171	* {{Sizeshifter}}: He steals this power from Crash in his self-titled episode in the ''Super Show!''.
172	* StartOfDarkness: Parodied. He was created by a genie to be a playmate for a young Crash [=McLarson=], but Crash getting called away at an inopportunate time causes him to believe he was abandoned, driving him to villainy.
173
174	!!Pilgrim Boy
175	* MorphicResonance: His pilgrim hat will invariably be a part of any form he takes.
176	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can morph into just about anything - dinosaurs, a cartoon, a Michael Jackson pastiche...
177
178	!!The Floating Eye of Death
179	* YourSoulIsMine: Its modus operandi.
180
181	!![=CobraMan=]
182	* AffablyEvil: Evil? Yes. Polite? Also yes.
183	* BigBadDuumvirate: In ''Saturday Morning'', he joins the Silver Skull in terrorizing the Aquabats (sans Crash).
184	* MookMaker: He shoots smaller snakes from his hands.
185	* SnakePeople: He's, well, a cobra man.
186	* SuddenlyVoiced: At the end of his debut episode, he's shown speaking after being defeated by the MC Bat Commander. This is retained in the ''Saturday Morning'' series.
187	* VillainousFriendship: With the Silver Skull in ''Saturday Morning''. While their Battle Beast brutalizes the 'Bats, they're off playing cornhole.
188
189	!!Carl/Karl the Magician
190	* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may be a goofy magician, but he still manages to trick the Aquabats pretty handily and is a competent magic user.
191	* CallingYourAttacks: His use of magic is always accompanied by him yelling "MAGIC!". Likewise, his use of the Battletram's control console is accompanied by "TECHNOLOGY!".
192	* EvilIsPetty: His entire EvilPlan is to turn his carnival into a road show... by stealing the Battletram.
193	* {{Expy}}: He's very clearly meant to be [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Strong Bad]] in a magician's outfit. He's played by Matt Chapman doing his Strong Bad voice and uses the same mannerisms as [=SB=] typically does.
194	* MaskedLuchador: Inexplicably wears a luchador mask.
195	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In the "[=CobraMan Theme!=]" track, Carl claims his name is spelled with a K, but he's credited as Carl.
196
197	!!Space Monster M
198	* BigBad: Of the band's original mythos, and if the MCBC's flashback is to believed, of the ''Super Show!''. He's the reason The Aquabats had to flee from Aquabania in the first place.
199	* FlyingFace: Looks like an evil [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Zordon]] with a giant M on his forehead.
200	* HumongousMecha: In his ''Super Show!'' appearance he rides around in one.
201	* KnightOfCerebus: He's easily the most dangerous of the Bats' foes on ''Super Show!''. In his single episode appearance he manages to kill two of the world's greatest superheroes and immediately follows up by razing a nearby city in his mech.
202
203	!!Silver Skull
204	* TheBadGuyWins: The only villain on the ''Super Show!'' to actually win against the Aquabats, as he manages to steal the Governor Robot's brain after the Antibats fail him.
205	* BigBad: Of the ''The Aquabats! Saturday Morning'' Kickstarter campaign series, where he wants to sabotage the Aquabats' campaign. Later becomes a [[BigBadDuumvirate duumvirate]] with [=CobraMan=].
206	* EnemySummoner: His original power set was being able to summon any enemy to fight for him.
207	* SuperEmpowering: In the ''Super Show!'', he's able to grant powers to others and [[ReforgedIntoAMinion make them his minions]].
208	* VillainDecay: In comparison to his appearance on the ''Super Show!'', he gets this in ''Saturday Morning!''. While he's still by all means a threat and manages to accomplish his first goal of breaking the Commander's magic horn, he suffers actual defeats along the way.
209	* VillainousFriendship: With [=CobraMan=] in ''Saturday Morning''. While their Battle Beast brutalizes the 'Bats, they're off playing cornhole.
210
211	!!The Antibats
212	* DarkIsEvil: Their uniforms are all black.
213	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Went from a death metal band and a dubstep artist who (quite justifably) got pissed about The Aquabats rigging a competition so Ricky's love interest would win, to a team of evil crusaders united under the Silver Skull.
214	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Skillsawz is clearly one of Music/{{Skrillex}}.
215	* PsychoRangers: Well, yeah. It's in the name.
216
217	!!Der Krampus
218	* FaceHeelTurn: Downplayed in that Krampus was a heel to begin with, but he went from working with Santa Claus to trying to dismantle the Christmas holiday entirely.
219	* GermanicDepressives: He's very obviously German, and not a very cheery guy either.
220	* TheKrampus: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin What gave it away, now]]?
221	* PoliticalOvercorrectness: The reason why he turned against Christmas in the first place - Santa stopped punishing naughty kids. It takes Santa [[BlackComedy bringing Christmas whoopings back]] (and promptly delivering one to Krampus) for him to release his stranglehold on the village he took over.
222
223	!!Clowny Clown Clown
224	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Ricky kills him by catching his mallet midair and throwing it back at him]].
225	* ImAHumanitarian: [[spoiler:He turns people into candy, and then ''[[VoiceOfTheLegion eats the candy]]'']].
226	* MonsterClown: Ricky seems to think so, and he's proven [[spoiler:right]], as Clowny Clown Clown [[spoiler:threatens to turn the rest of the team into candy and then eat it]].
227	* SugarBowl: The ''Clowny Clown Clown Show''. The candy pie on said show probably ''literally'' has a large bowl's worth of sugar in it.
228	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:Getting a mallet to his papier-mâché head breaks it, and Clowny pulling the mallet out is what causes him to "bleed" to death]].
