22	[[folder: All]]
23	* BigDamnHeroes: They have their moments, though it rarely goes by without comment.
24	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: They all have their moments of badassery.
25	* FreudianTrio: A Freudian Sextet, really.
26	** Calvin and Socrates are the Ids, the latter more so.
27	** Hobbes and the MTM are the Egos.
28	** Andy and Sherman are the Superegos.
29	* GoodIsNotNice: All of them are jerks on a regular basis, with the possible exception of Andy.
30	* InsufferableGenius: Pretty much all of them, in their own ways. The only one who ''doesn't'' fit is Andy, tying into his role as the OnlySaneMan.
31	* KidHero: Calvin and Andy, anyway.
32	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
33	* RedOniBlueOni: From most red to most blue, they are as follows: [[color:#ff0000:Socrates]], [[color:#d5002b:Calvin]], [[color:#aa0055:the MTM]], [[color:#5500aa:Hobbes]], [[color:#2b00d5:Sherman]], and [[color:#0000ff:Andy]].
34	* TrueCompanions
35	* WeirdnessMagnet: The group attracts all kinds of stuff to them. Calvin really enjoys it.

41
42	-> '''Debut:''' ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheMovie''
43	-> '''Voiced by:''' Pamela Segal
44
45	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.]]
46	* AdaptationalBadass
47	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: The focus of this for Maria, much to Andy's dismay.
48	* AnimeHair: Lampshaded [[LemonyNarrator by the narrator]] in the ''very first episode'':
49	--> "No one knows why his hair does that. Is it static electricity? Is it hair gel? No, probably not.''
50	* BookDumb: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Pharaoh Andrew":
51	--> '''Hobbes:''' You know, if you actually studied, you'd get a few things done school-wise.
52	* BreakTheCutie: "Trouble Island" has him breaking down when Retro tricks him into thinking Hobbes isn't real.
53	* BrilliantButLazy: He's invented several amazing objects, later turning into TheChessmaster, and yet still fails at school.
54	* CaptainCrash: [[InvokedTrope Invoked:]] he makes it a point that the wagon needs to be crashed at least twice each week.
55	* CaptainObvious: He keeps having to explain things to Hobbes in "The Pharaoh Andrew".
56	* CharacterDevelopment: Along with Andy, he's the most blatant example.
57	* CharacterExaggeration: His knack for inventing is much more prominent here.
58	* CloudCuckoolander: While not to an extent like his comic strip counterpart, he still lets his imagination run wild.
59	* TheChessmaster
60	* DeadpanSnarker
61	* DeathGlare: Gives one in Nocturnals that the authors says "would've chilled a six-pack".
62	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric.
63	* GadgeteerGenius
64	* GenreSavvy: As shown here:
65	--> '''Hobbes:''' ''(to an [[TheVoice evil voice]])'' Well, we're here now, so what do you want?
66	--> '''Calvin:''' Hobbes, don't ask questions like that! Don't you ever watch those science fiction movies?
67	* TheHero
68	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Starts out as a jerk, but then he TookALevelInKindness.
69	* TheLeader: Type III.
70	* LimitedWardrobe: Parodied: his closet are ''entirely'' made of red shirts with black stripes and black pants.
71	* MacGyvering
72	* MrExposition
73	* MrImagination: Rather downplayed in comparison to his comic counterpart.
74	* TookALevelInBadass: Though he was already an AdaptationalBadass, he becomes a lot more serious about dealing with bad guys during Season 4 (seen most prominently in the climax of "Our Solemn Hour").
75	** It's suggested in the rewritten ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesIIIDoubleTrouble'' that Calvin took a level in reaction to the increasingly dangerous ways his enemies tormented him, forcing him to mature in the way he fought back.
76	* TookALevelInKindness: While still something of a {{Jerkass}}, this iteration is more prone to doing the right thing.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder: Hobbes]]
80	-> '''Debut:''' ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheMovie''
81	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomHanks
82
83	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".
84	* 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.
85	* CharacterDevelopment: His progression from LovableCoward to DirtyCoward, and eventually reversed entirely.
86	* CharacterExaggeration: His reluctance for adventure. This is eventually reversed.
87	%%zce* CowardlyLion:
88	* DeadpanSnarker
89	* FantasticRacism: He's not fond of lions because they apparently have this (Calvin at one point claimed that lions kicked him out of a club). It didn't help that the lion he met in "That's MISTER Sherman To You!" didn't think much of tigers.
90	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic, along with the MTM.
91	* GenreSavvy: He knows the outcome of Calvin's constant misadventures.
92	* {{Hypocrite}}: Calvin calls him out on this in "Thunderstorm".
93	* TheLancer
94	* LetsGetDangerous: Tends to come out in later stories, especially whenever Calvin is in danger.
95	* LovableCoward: He's usually this.
96	** 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 up a notch 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.
97	* NotSoImaginaryFriend
98	* OffscreenTeleportation: His preferred method of cowardice.
99	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[RunningGag Constantly.]] PlayedForDrama [=and/or=] {{deconstructed}}, and downplayed thereafter, in "Thunderstorm".
100	* TookALevelInBadass: After his unintentional {{Flanderization}} in Season 3, Season 4 onwards sees him gradually becoming braver and sticking by the group through dangerous situations, seemingly remembering that he's a tiger and using that in battle.
101	[[/folder]]
102
103	[[folder: Socrates]]
104	-> '''Debut:''' [[Recap/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeriesS1E11HomeUnAlone "Home UnAlone"]] (from ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'')
105	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyanStiles
106
107	A tiger who looks [[IdenticalStranger exactly like Hobbes,]] except with red stripes on his tail. He's ThePrankster, and his CloudCuckoolander personality fits perfectly with it. [[TheFriendNobodyLikes No one really likes him]], though they keep him around and he has his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold golden-hearted]] moments.
108	* ADayInTheLimelight: "Confessions of A Prank-Loving Tiger"
109	* BadLiar: As "Mission: Socrates" shows.
110	* BewareTheSillyOnes: While "Have You Seen This Tiger" sums this up to an extreme, there are other rare times where he handles things more seriously.
111	* BreakTheCutie: After a tensionful moment "Black Rain". Subverted in "Have You Seen This Tiger" where it's more of a case of {{Deconstruction}} and, while he spends a good chunk of the first half as TheBerserker, he still reverts back to his usual goofy mood at the end.
112	* BigEater: He once made a ''real-life food pyramid'' and tried to eat it.
113	* TheBigGuy: Something of a BoisterousBruiser.
114	* [[spoiler:TheChosenOne]]: The aliens in "Prelude to a Season" heavily imply this.
115	--> "Well, my lord, the ancient texts say [[spoiler:the one shall be marked. He or she will hold a unique distinction, setting them apart from the rest of their kind."]]
116	* CloudCuckoolander: For one, he listens to ''heavy metal music'' to fall asleep.
117	* ComedicSociopathy: One of his defining character traits.
118	* DissonantSerenity: As a part of his status as CloudCuckoolander, he handles most of the more dangerous situations with some of the most unusual upbeat cheeriness. This is even {{Lampshaded}} during "Pranking The Ghosts" where he immediately switches back to his odd self just mere minutes after ''being'' ''attacked'' ''by'' ''a'' ''ghost''! '''Twice'''!
119	** While Rupert and Earl invaded Earth, took control of every living being there, and turned it into an army base, Socrates has been napping under rubble the whole time.
120	** ''Fanfic/RetroChill'' has him calmly reading an alien field guide as Galaxoid and Nebular's ship falls into the lava ocean and the two aliens and Bob are screaming in terror. Especially since he somehow knew the ships were lava proof.
121	*** This is fazed out later on in the series and in the remakes.
122	* DistressedDude: Has been held hostage by Dr. Brainstorm twice for ransom (even though Calvin shows no concern for him at all) and in "Nocturnals" [[spoiler: the mist tells him that ''something'' is after him.]] [[GrandFinale "Black Rain"]] has him being kidnapped by [[spoiler:Thunderstorm and Shadow, and he later gets kidnapped by the Collective in the fic of the same name]].
123	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Sanguine.
124	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He's usually seen as this, though he has his redeeming moments.
125	* IdenticalStranger: Looks exactly like Hobbes, save for the red stripes on his tail.
126	* InSeriesNickname: "Crateso" from Calvin.
127	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although he delights in the suffering of others, he does show concern when it seems his pranks may have injured someone.
128	* KarmaHoudini: A ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}-esque one, though it has been averted every so often.
129	* LivingMacguffin: [[ItMakesSenseInContext He has an alien transmitter in his head (implanted by Sherman as revenge for being pranked) that can only be activated when he says the number 98,562.]]
130	%%* TheLoad: Often.
131	%%* TheNicknamer
132	* NotSoImaginaryFriend: He takes on a similar form to Hobbes when anybody other than Calvin, Andy or Elliot is around.
133	* [[spoiler:SplitPersonalityMerge]]: In ''The Collective'', he [[spoiler:fuses with his darker self, having finally realized that the key to controlling his more destructive side was not avoiding it but rather ''moderating'' it]].
134	%%* ThePrankster:
135	%%* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist
136	%%* UpperClassTwit
137	%%* WackyGuy

140	[[folder: Andy]]
141	-> '''Debut:''' ''Fanfic/AttackOfTheTeacherCreature''[[note]]or, canonically, the [[TheRemake rewritten version]] of ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheMovie''[[/note]]
142	-> '''Voiced by:''' Andrew Lawrence
143
144	An eight-year-old boy (named after his voice actor) who starts out with no personality. It doesn't take long for CharacterDevelopment to kick in, making him the OnlySaneMan by the third season. He's also Sherman's owner.
145	* ADayInTheLimelight: "Insanity is In The Air" and "New Year, New Disasters".
146	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: His crush on Maria in "Insanity is In The Air".
147	* CharacterDevelopment: The most prominent example: he goes from "no personality" to the OnlySaneMan over the course of three seasons.
148	* DeadpanSnarker: Soon became one of his defining character traits.
149	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Starts out as the Phlegmatic II before becoming the Leukine.
150	* TheGenericGuy: For a while. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Insanity is In The Air":
151	--> '''Hobbes:''' ''(discussing why Andy won't come out of his room)'' Maybe he's hiding something from us.\
152	'''Socrates:''' What would he hide from us? He's not exactly known for having a personality here.
153	* TheHeart: He's the most level-headed person in the group, and thus the one that keeps it together.
154	* IdenticalStranger: He discovers a pharaoh that looks just like him in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Pharaoh Andrew".]]
155	* MistakenForSpecialGuest: Inverted; he is mistaken by several mummies to be their master ([[IdenticalStranger who looks just like him]]) in "Pharaoh Andrew".
156	* NiceGuy: The genuinely nice person out of the main cast. Pointed out by WordOfGod.
157	* NotSoAboveItAll: [[ValentinesDayEpisodes "Insanity is In The Air"]], which also gave him some CharacterDevelopment.
158	* OnlySaneMan: [[CaptainObvious As mentioned above.]]
159	* TheQuietOne: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Socrates:
160	--> (trying to find Andy) "Well, [he] was never the talkative one. Admittedly, [[CharacterDevelopment he's gotten better]] [[MediumAwareness this season,]] but...
161	* TheStoic: The fact that he has no qualms about the fact that Calvin lives with a tiger is only ''one'' example of how open-minded he is. In fact, WordOfGod has said that it's that open-mindedness that allows him to take part in Calvin's adventures.

164	[[folder: Sherman J. Hamster]]
165	-> ''[[CatchPhrase "You know, when I was at the university..."]]''
166
167	-> '''Debut:''' ''Fanfic/AttackOfTheTeacherCreature''
168	-> '''Voiced by:''' Colin Mochrie
169
170	TheSmartGuy of the group, an [[SmallNameBigEgo egoistical]] one at that. Because of this, his status as TheFriendNobodyLikes (save Andy, his owner) goes unchallenged until Season 3, where he becomes friends with Calvin. He's still not fond of Hobbes or Socrates, though.
171	* AfraidOfDoctors: Thanks to Hobbes and Socrates[='=] influence in "Sherman Goes to the Vet".
172	* BunglingInventor
173	* CatchPhrase: "You know, when I was at the university..."
174	* CharacterDevelopment: See JerkWithAHeartOfGold below.
175	* DeadpanSnarker: From "Pharaoh Andrew":
176	--> [[ItMakesSenseInContext "So, Calvin's the Earth Potentate, Hobbes and Socrates are robots and you're a Pharaoh. All together an off day. Time for a nice hot cup of anti-psychotic medication."]]
177	* {{Foil}}: To the other five members of the group, being a higher-class person surrounded by decidedly uncultured people.
178	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic.
179	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: At the start of the series.
180	* IntellectualAnimal: Due to working with Andy's dad at a university.
181	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Zig-zagged. He actually cares a great deal for Andy, and he and Calvin become friends later on. Still on bad terms with Hobbes and Socrates, though (partially due to his place in the food chain).
182	* TheLoad: During "The Genius Hamster".
183	* MixAndMatchCritters: Briefly forced to become one in "Time Terror" to sell... something.
184	* MysteriousMiddleInitial: What does the J stand for?
185	* PickyEater: From "The Genius Hamster":
186	--> (asking Hobbes to make him a sandwich) "Now cut the turkey thin, but not too thin. Now put the mustard on the turkey in a clockwise motion, and then place a slab of cheese on top. Pour the mayonnaise on top of that, but in a ''counter''clockwise motion. Add an extra slice of turkey on top, and then place the second slice of bread on top, and make sure the two slices of bread are even."
187	* ShorterMeansSmarter
188	* SmallNameBigEgo
189	* SpeciesSurname: According to "The Case of the Rogue Water Balloon".
190	* TheSmartGuy
191	* StuffBlowingUp: Often the cause of it.
192	* TVGenius

198	--> [[Recap/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeriesS3E12AnMTMEpisode "An MTM Episode"]] (voiced)
199	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/NormanLovett
200
201	Arguably the most useful of Calvin's inventions, being a DoAnythingRobot. Though he doesn't have much of a personality in Seasons 1 and 2, when he gains speech in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "An MTM Episode"]], he finally becomes something of a proper character.
202	* ADayInTheLimelight: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "An MTM Episode"]]
203	* DeadpanSnarker
204	* {{Defictionalization}}: Inverted: [[http://swing123.deviantart.com/art/The-MTM-58787112 this CD player]] was the inspiration behind his appearance.
205	* DoAnythingRobot

210	* FunWithAcronyms: He's a '''M'''ini '''T'''ime '''M'''achine.
211	* KillItWithFire: [[AttackPatternAlpha Emergency Protocol]] [[CrazyPrepared #5557490]] is a large burst of fire.
212	* TheLoad: During "An MTM Episode".
213	* MrExposition
214	* NonIndicativeName: He started as a smaller time machine, but eventually became a DoAnythingRobot.
215	* OurTimeMachineIsDifferent
216	* ShockAndAwe: Can fire lightning bolts.
217	* SixthRanger: Technically he was with Calvin since the start, but he became more prominent once he gained speech.
218	* SpellMyNameWithAThe
219	* SuddenlyVoiced: When Calvin installs a voice chip in him.
220	* TalkingApplianceSidekick: He's a CD player.

233	-> '''Voiced by:''' Neil Crone
234
235	An [[HarmlessVillain extremely inept]] [[CardCarryingVillain card-carrying]] MadScientist. Though he has invented several objects of note, they almost always malfunction or [[StuffBlowingUp blow up]] in some way.

244	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His first few appearances had him with [[FishEyes unfocused]] gold eyes. He later gets green eyes.
245	* EnemyMine: Tries his hardest to defy this trope in "62 Percent More Evil"; ends up falling into it anyway.
246	** The same thing ends up happening in "Thunderstorm".
247	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Gets horrified when he found out that Rupert tortured his own crew.
248	* EvilRedhead
249	* FieryRedhead
250	* FishEyes: In his first few appearances.
251	* HarmlessVillain
252	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:In the rewrite of ''Fanfic/RetroChill'', he realizes his goal of world domination will never be achieved and decides to give up on evil.]]
253	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's actually saved the world more times than he's taken it over.
254	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When he's not trying to take over the world, he's actually a pretty decent guy. [[spoiler: He once fell into a panic when his dramatic chase scene ended up injuring Andy.]]
255	* LastNameBasis: He insists upon it. It doesn't work.
256	* LetsGetDangerous: Inept as he may be, he has moments of competence and/or evilness. [[LampshadeHanging The heroes almost always get caught off-guard by this.]]
257	* MadScientist

259	* NoIndoorVoice

263	* StuffBlowingUp: Very often.

269	-> '''Voiced by:''' Michael Brandon
270
271	A [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] robot. [[PunchClockVillain Not really evil]], but he ''did'' have a MoralityDial (that was thankfully removed).
272	* ArmCannon: Gains a Type 2 when [[MoralityDial evil.]]
273	* ClicheStorm: InUniverse; when he turns evil in "62 Percent More Evil", he gets called out by the heroes for not having an original bone in his body.
274	* DeadpanSnarker
275	* EvilCounterpart: Can be seen as one to the MTM, as they're both [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] [[DoAnythingRobot Do Anything Robots.]]
276	* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Given that he lives with [[BunglingInventor Dr.]] [[StuffBlowingUp Brainstorm]], this is highly likely.
277	* TheLoad: During "Robot's Day Out".
278	* LosingYourHead: Happens occasionally.
279	* MoralityDial: He has a [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Simpsons-esque]] one that gets flipped by accident in "62 Percent More Evil".
280	* NotSoStoic: When those rare times eventually come, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness you just '''know''' something's wrong.]]
281	* PullingThemselvesTogether: Which is [[ExploitedTrope exploited]] by Calvin in "Robot's Day Out", taking him apart in order to fit him in his backpack.
282	* PunchClockVillain: He regularly chats with the heroes and doesn't care much for Brainstorm's schemes.
283	* RedEyesTakeWarning: When his MoralityDial is flipped.

290	[[folder: Rupert Chill]]
291	An alien king out to get Calvin.
292	* AliensSpeakingEnglish
293	* BadBoss: Rupert is willing to go so far as to torture his own crew.
294	* [[spoiler:HoistByHisOwnPetard]]: In his earliest appearances, Rupert would disguise himself whenever he'd arrive on Earth as 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]].
295	* 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.
296	* RevengeBeforeReason: After his SanitySlippage in the rewritten Calvinverse, Rupert will stop at ''nothing'' to get back at Calvin and his friends, often resorting to [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim needlessly elaborate]] schemes just to make Calvin's life a living hell. This gradually comes at the [[BadBoss expense of his own men]], to the point where [[spoiler:Earl is [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal actually considering defecting to Calvin's side]] in the events of ''Retro Chill'']].
297	* SanitySlippage: Rupert loses a few screws after the Season Five premiere.
298	* 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).
299	* VillainousBreakdown: Rupert has been in one since his defeat in the Season Five premiere. See RevengeBeforeReason above.

301
302	[[folder: Earl]]
303	Rupert's right hand man and captain of the moronic crew.
304	* AliensSpeakingEnglish
305	* BadBoss: He's just as willing to torture the crew, [[spoiler: but he has limits.]]
306	* CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler: His friendship with Rupert continually deteriorates from ''Lost at Sea'' onwards, due to the latter's SanitySlippage, to the point he's genuinely considering a HeelFaceTurn in ''Retro Chill''.]]
307	* [[spoiler: HazeyFeelTurn: In ''Retro Chill'' - his relationship with Rupert has fallen apart, and then Calvin saves his life, causing him to seriously reexamine his life decisions so far.]]
308	* OnlySaneMan: Thanks to Rupert's SanitySlippage in the rewritten Calvinverse, by the time ''Double Trouble'' comes around, Earl is one of the only major villains[[note]](if you don't count the [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Brainstorm robots]], anyway)[[/note]] who hasn't been completely consumed by madness, bloodlust, and/or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking idiocy]].
309	* TheyJustDontGetIt: For much of the series, he's just as deluded about Calvin being the Earth Potentate, but by ''Double Trouble'', he reveals he's known the truth for some time - he just doesn't care anymore.
310	[[/folder]]
311
312	[[folder: Rupert and Earl's Crew]]
313	A crew of [[HarmlessVillain harmless villains]] under the former two's command.
314	* AliensSpeakingEnglish
315	* DumbassHasAPoint: Near the end of ''Double Trouble'', the crew is not amused to discover just how much effort it took them so far to conquer just one small town, with a crew member outright questioning how much more it'd take to overthrow the rest of Earth. Earl finds himself agreeing with the crew for once, which goes to show just how [[SanitySlippage unhinged]] [[BadBoss Rupert]] [[RevengeBeforeReason has become]].
316	* HarmlessVillain
317	* QuirkyMinibossSquad
318	* SurroundedByIdiots
319	[[/folder]]
320
321	[[folder: Retro Griffin]]
322	--> '''Debut:''' ''Fanfic/CanYouImagineThat''
323	A MadScientist who kidnapped children sans Calvin and attempted to use their imagination to take over the world, but was defeated and taken to Galixoid and Nebular's planet as punishment.
324	* AnimeHair: Has it in a "Three Stooges" style that is lamshaped by pretty much anyone.
325	* BigBad: Of ''Can'' ''You'' ''Imagine'' ''That?'' and ''Trouble'' ''Island''.
326	* BreakThemByTalking: Gives Calvin a harsh TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in "Trouble Island".
327	* CoolCar: His claw car, in which he is aware of its coolness.
328	* DarkerAndEdgier: Is certainly one of the more serious villans. Especially his remake counterpart.
329	* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: Quite possibly considering the cliffhanger in the most recent chapter of the "Can You Imagine That?" remake. Thankfully though, this is inverted.]]
330	** DisneyDeath
331	* EvilLaugh: Obviously.
332	** Inverted with his remake counterpart.
333	* FreudianExcuse: The bonus chapter of ''Retro'' ''Chill'' gave him one however this is yet to be established.
334	* InSeriesNickname: "Larry" by Calvin and Socrates.
335	* MadScientist
336	* OddCouple: Compare him to [[CowardlySidekick his]] [[ShrinkingViolet sidekick]].
337	[[/folder]]
338
339	[[folder: Bob]]
340	-> '''Debut:''' ''Fanfic/TroubleIsland''
341	Human Retro's harmless sidekick. Mainly the ChewToy.
342	* BigBadWannabe: It's implied in ''Fanfic/RetroChill'' that he wishes to be a good villain like Retro.
343	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Isn't seen after his second appearance in ''Fanfic/{{Retro Chill}}''.
344	** He doesn't appear in the rewritten versions of ''Trouble Island'' or ''Retro Chill'', either.
345	* CowardlyLion: Just as bad as Hobbes.
346	* TheChewToy: When he was on Retro and Rupert's side, anyway.
347	* DeadpanSnarker: More evident when he becomes good, but he has managed to sneak a few snarks about his former boss when he worked for him.
348	* HatesBeingTouched: With the aliens, at least.
349	* HeelFaceTurn: Sides with Calvin after realizing how much of a nightmare working with Retro can be.
350	* ShrinkingViolet: Can get ''really'' worked up sometimes.
351	* TookALevelInBadass: Somewhat. He isn't afraid of Rupert and the aliens anymore but he is still easily frightened by Evil Calvin coming towards him in a strangling position.
352	* WeNeedADistraction: A rather pitiful one.
353	[[/folder]]
354
355	[[folder: Rupert Chill (The Human)]]
356	--> ''Debut'': ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheMovie
357	An insane convict who is the twin brother of John Chill.
358	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: His character is almost entirely revamped and [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] in the rewritten version of ''Double Trouble'' to be a tragic ShellShockedVeteran who only kidnapped Calvin due to being manipulated by Alien!Rupert, which certainly didn't do any favors to his [[DespairEventHorizon already broken mind]].
359	* BigBad: Of ''Which'' ''Way'' ''Is'' ''Where?''
360	* CoolCar: Usually stolen, of course.
361	* EvilIsHammy: ''Ho'' '''boy'''...though it's entirely [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the rewrites.
362	* GeniusDitz: Like Dr Brainstorm, he is one of those "stupid geniuses", at least in the original stories.
363	* HiddenDepths: Apparently, he can outrun the police and is very good at capturing people.
364	* {{Revenge}}: His main reason for targeting the titular duo in ''Which'' ''Way'' ''Is'' ''Where?''
365	* PityTheKidnapper: Is put through a living hell thanks to Calvin in ''Double'' ''Trouble''. The rewritten version of ''Double Trouble'' takes a far more tragic spin on this trope, however.
366	* VillainBall: Many of his actions in the original stories are questionable like [[Fanfic/WhichWayIsWhere when he searched for our heroes in a classroom by flipping over 25 desks instead of looking under and even ate the gum off the bottom of one.]]
367	[[/folder]]

370	!! Other
371	[[folder: Calvin's Parents]]
372	-> '''Debut:''' [[Recap/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeriesS1E1BirthOfAFriendship "Birth of a Friendship"]]
373	-> '''Calvin's mom is voiced by:''' Creator/JenniferLoveHewitt
374	-> '''Calvin's dad is voiced by:''' Creator/BillMurray
375
376	Calvin's parents.
377	* BourgeoisBohemian: Calvin's dad, big time. He gets a big kick out of suffering.
378	* DeadpanSnarker
379	* DrowningMySorrows: In "New Year, New Disasters":
380	--> '''Dad:''' Come on, dear. You can drown your sorrows in the cider.
381	* MiseryBuildsCharacter: Dad thinks ''hanging on a cliff on the edge of the Grand Canyon'' builds character.
382	[[/folder]]
383
384	[[folder: Susie Derkins]]
385	-> '''Voiced by:''' Dakota Fannings
386
387	Calvin's [[GirlNextDoor neighbor]]. She is his age and goes to school with him. She is constantly being annoyed by him.
388	* 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.
389	--> '''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.
390	* BelligerentSexualTension: While it is still downplayed like it was in the comic strip, Calvin and Susie have had the odd quasi-romantic moment.
391	* 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.
392	* RepeatWhatYouJustSaid: Sometimes Hobbes will go off on a hypothetical romantic tangent about Calvin's supposed secret feelings for Susie. While the [[ComicStrip/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 [[TranquilFury dangerously low voice]]. Hobbes tends to shut up after that.
393	* {{Tsundere}}: Type B.
394	[[/folder]]
395
396	[[folder: Moe]]
397	-> '''Voiced by:''' Elizabeth Daily
398
399	[[TheBully The bully]] who is constantly harassing Calvin.
400	* TheChewToy: If someone's gonna suffer thanks to the events of the episode, chances are it'll be Moe. Among other things, he's been beaten up by Calvin using the Time Pauser, attacked by a monkey, had a ghost transferred into his house, been forced to apologize to Calvin by Ms. Wormwood, been captured by Dr. Thunderstorm, been tormented by Socrates [[FreakyFridayFlip in Calvin's body]], entered a funhouse haunted by a poltergeist, been deafened by the Scream Horn, and that's not even getting into what happens in ''Fanfic/RetroChill''. Of course, he deserves every bit of it.
401	* DirtyCoward: Especially egregious during the rewritten ''Retro Chill''.
402	* DumbMuscle
403	* GangOfBullies: Moe has a gang sometimes.
404	* {{Jerkass}}: Constantly and purely.
405	* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Moe gets hit with this ''hard'', especially in the rewritten Calvinverse. By the time of the events of ''Fanfic/RetroChill'' he is so far down Calvin's list of enemies that the latter [[VillainDecay isn't even slightly]] [[NotAfraidOfYouAnymore afraid of him anymore]].
406	* StealthInsult: Calvin usually manages to whip these out at Moe.
407	[[/folder]]
408
409	[[folder: Miss Wormwood]]
410	Calvin's teacher. She's constantly disciplining him.
411	* TheAlcoholic: Calvin says to Mr Spittle she still drinks Maalox right from the bottle.
412	* SternTeacher: She really seems to dislike imagination. Then again, Calvin's imagining stuff during class...
413	[[/folder]]
414
415	[[folder: Rosalyn]]
416	Calvin's babysitter still appears from time to time.
417	* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: In her first appearance, Rosalyn finds herself involuntarily riding with Calvin and Hobbes in their wagon all across town!
418	* CharacterDevelopment: Of a sort. [[BackForTheFinale In the rewritten version of]] ''Fanfic/{{Retro Chill}}'', her arc essentially picks up where the [[Comicstrip/CalvinAndHobbes original strip left off]], with her and Calvin finding common ground in the latter's enjoyment of games. Here, she even struck up a deal with him, purposefully playing up his [[BadlyBatteredBabysitter reputation]] to get extra money from his parents and then splitting the earnings with him.
419	[[/folder]]
420
421	[[folder: Galaxoid and Nebular]]
422	Some aliens who appeared towards the end of [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes the original strip.]] They keep in contact with Calvin and Hobbes during the series.
423	* AliensSpeakingEnglish
424	* InnocentAliens: Unlike Rupert and Earl, these two are friendly and come from a peaceful planet.
425	[[/folder]]
426
427	[[folder: The Klein Family]]
428	A family of InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals (named after their voice actor). They're the only adults Calvin considers "cool". They play a major role in ''Fanfic/TheCollective'', where [[spoiler:it's revealed that they're HumanAliens who came to guard the Earth, and have been reduced in number.]]
429	* [[spoiler:BenevolentAlienInvasion]]: The reason they're here.
430	* CompetenceZone: As mentioned above, they're an aversion.
431	* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: [[spoiler:That's because they're aliens.]]
432	* [[spoiler:HealingFactor: When Hobbes accidentally scratches one of them, the wounds heal quickly.]]
433	* [[spoiler:HumanAliens]]: As revealed in ''Fanfic/TheCollective''.
434	* MotorMouth: The Klein at the prank store listing the items the Prank Starter Kit contains in "Let Us Prank the Fool":
435	--> "Well, we have your standards. We got your whoopee cushions, we got your squirting flowers, we got your spinning bowties, we got regular ties that roll up like noise-makers, we got your trick wires, we got pies, we got joy buzzers, we got silly string, we got condiments, we got fake gum, water balloons, disguises and mustaches and roller skates and fake hands and fake thumbs and fake toes and a fake nose and wigs and exploding figs and bending twigs and fake wings and ding-a-lings and loads and tons of other things! We got yo-yo's with invisible strings! We got sunglasses with songs to sing! We got dental floss and balls to toss, action Diana Ross! We got magnets and fragments and flip flops and garden crops! We got worms in a bag! We got a suit with a tag! We have also a TV that doesn't change channels! Air conditioners stocked from air from our air conditioned air condition factory!"
436	--> [[LampshadeHanging (he then wipes sweat from his brow and gasps for air)]]
437	* ToughRoom: Averted with the Klein at the carnival; his jokes are apparently uproarious.
438	[[/folder]]
439
440	[[folder: Spaceman Spiff]]
441	One of Calvin's three alter egos who travels around space and fights monsters.
442	* ADayInTheLimeLight: Inverted since he's the only one of the three altar egos that doesn'tc get an episode based around his life.
443	* AffectionateParody: Of space adventurers.
444	* Badbutt
445	* BuffySpeak: Frequently. He even refers to Sherman as "small hamster person" when paired up with him in "The Five Calvins".
446	* DistressedDude: Is taken under mind control along with the other alter egos in ''Double'' ''Trouble''.
447	* DrivesLikeCrazy

456	* BadButt
457	* DeadpanSnarker: When paired up with [[{{CloudCuckoolander}} Socrates]] in "The Five Calvins".
458	--> '''Socrates''': Am I missing something?
459	--> '''Stupendous Man''': Yes, you've been missing a lot of things since [[MediumAwareness this special began]] now let's go.
460	* DistressedDude: Is taken under mind control along with the other alter egos in ''Double'' ''Trouble''.
461	* TheDitz: Is effortlessly the stupidest one in the trio.
462	** GeniusDitz: Sometimes though his genius shines through.

469	* AffectionateParody: Of Literature/SherlockHolmes.
470	* BadassLongcoat
471	* DeadpanSnarker
472	* DistressedDude: Is taken under mind control along with the other alter egos in ''Double'' ''Trouble''.
473	* GunsAreUseless: Is unable to fight due to not loading his gun in ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheMovie''.
474	* OnlySaneMan: Of the alter egos.
475	* TheStoic
476	** NotSoStoic: Brawls with Calvin after the latter insults him which ends up driving the narrator guy insane due to the long wait of "technocal difficulties".
477	[[/folder]]
478
479	[[folder: The Entity '''(Unmarked Spoilers!)''']]
480	A mysterious...well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin entity]] who has [[PowersThatBe overseen]] many a scenario in the "Calvinverse", supposedly feeding off of the energy such events give off. It finally shows itself proper in the rewritten version of ''Retro Chill''.
481	* EldritchAbomination: Whatever the Entity is, it is beyond worldly (let alone human) comprehension. Not really on the same plane of existence as everyone else? Check. Suggested to have [[PowersThatBe had a hand in previous Calvinverse events]]? Check. Makes its presence known with [[HolyIsNotSafe blinding light]]? Check. What little we see of it being [[CombatTentacles long, dark tentacles]]? Check. [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Not having any specific preference for good or evil]]? Check. Implied to be at least somewhat responsible for Hobbes being "real?" Aaaaand check.
