Characters from ''{{Series/Beetleborgs}}''.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Beetleborgs]]
!!Tropes related to the whole team:
* AdaptationalWimp: The original powers are no match for Nukus, who easily destroys them, forcing the Beetleborgs to go ''Metallix'' to even stand a chance. In ''Series/BFighterKabuto'', the original trio is evenly matched against the new villains. This stems from the fact that the heroes in ''Kabuto'' are a new team of heroes, as opposed to a power upgrade for the original three, as they left Japan to fight evil elsewhere.
* AgeLift: Their B-Fighter counterparts were young adults, while in Beetleborgs, they're pre-teens.
* {{Animorphism}}: After Nukus destroys their original powers and turns Flabber into ice, the trio try to use Flabber's spellbook to return him to normal, in the process finding a spell related to bugs. Thinking it can help them (as Roland says, "Well, we ''are'' Beetleborgs"), Jo recites it, giving the trio the ability to turn into talking beetles by saying “Bug out!” and turn back into humans by saying “Bug back!”.
* CharacterTic: Each of them has one they tend to use when activating their civilian powers. Drew gives a nod of his head, Jo cracks her knuckles, Roland snaps his fingers, and Josh dusts his hands.
* CombatPragmatist: Unlike the Power Rangers, they're very willing to use their mecha against human sized opponents. This backfires in the finale of season 1 when they use their A.V.s against an army of monsters, the excess energy letting Nukus combine the destroyed monsters into Borgslayer, and then when they try to use Gargantis against Borgslayer itself, resulting in the mech's destruction.
* CompositeCharacter: Between the original B-Fighters Takuya, Daisaku and Rei/Mai, with their successors Kouhei, Kengo and Ran.
* DiscardAndDraw: The Beetleborgs lose their original powers in their fight against Nukus, requiring them to gain the new upgraded Metallix powers. Roboborg restores their original powers which they fuse with their new ones to access [[SuperMode Mega Spectra Mode]].
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: A lot of times, they run scared from the monsters and go through a chase sequence before trying their civilian powers. They never even try using their Beetleborg powers to fend them off.
* JapaneseBeetleBrothers: Drew and Roland are this in both of their incarnations. Jo can fit into this trope in her Red Striker Beetleborg form, as it's based on a female Japanese rhinoceros beetle.
* KidHero: Practically the whole point of the show.
* OlderAlterEgo: Their transformed states appear to be full grown adults, even if their voices don't change. It seems most people don't notice they aren't.
* OnlySaneMan: On one side, there is a haunted house full of classic horror characters pulling all kinds of stupid antics and on the other side, there are comic book villains trying to take over the world. And yet, the kids don't seem even slightly fazed by this.
* PhlebotinumOverdose: Downplayed -- the excess energy from their initially becoming Beetleborgs is what accidentally gives the kids their "civilian powers" (as Flabber explains, "It looks like you have a little leftover power."), but it doesn't cause any harm. When Flabber tries to apologize, Drew says he doesn't need to, explicitly referring to this as "a good boo-boo".
* SecretIdentity: The three are fairly careful about maintaining theirs.
* SuperMode: Mega Blue Beetleborg for Drew in season 1, Mega Spectra Beetleborgs for all three in season 2.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Their ensemble for most of the series. Temporarily broken when Josh joins the team for a few episodes.
* WishFulfillment: Taken literally, as they wished to become the superheroes they were fan of and got their wish.

!!'''Andrew "Drew" [=McCormick=] (Blue Stinger Beetleborg, later Chromium Gold Beetleborg)'''
->'''Played by:''' Wesley Barker

The leader of the Beetleborgs. He is also Jo's brother.
----
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: As the Blue Stinger Beetleborg, Drew wields the wrist-mounted Stinger Blade. Later, when he gets his Mega Spectra powers, he gets a similar wrist-mounted blade.
* {{BFG}}: During the Shadowborg arc, Drew is given the very large Thunder Stinger as a new weapon; it becomes his default weapon in his Mega Blue Beetleborg form.
* BrotherSisterTeam: With Jo, though Roland is there to balance them out.
* DoubleWeapon: As Chromium Gold, Drew wields the Metallix Lancer, a polearm with blades on both ends.
%% ZCE * TheLeader
* MindOverMatter: Gains telekinesis as his "civilian power".
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is Andrew, but is referred to by Drew for most of the series.
* SuperMode:
** After using Vexor's "Energy Axis" to empower himself, Drew gains the Mega Blue Beetleborg form, which gives him wings and greater power. He also uses the Thunder Stinger, which Art Fortunes had drawn for him earlier, as his primary weapon in this form.
** Late in season 2, Roboborg restores and combines Drew's original Blue Stinger powers with his current Chromium Gold powers, granting him access to the Mega Spectra Chromium Gold form, which gives him a back attachment (letting him fly), a wrist-mounted sword akin to his old Stinger Blade and a wrist-mounted blaster.
* ThisIsADrill: As the Blue Stinger Beetleborg, he wields the Stinger Drill as his secondary wrist-mounted weapon.

!!'''Josephine "Jo" [=McCormick=] (Red Striker Beetleborg, later Platinum Purple Beetleborg)'''
->'''Played by:''' Shannon Chandler (Eps. 1-39), Brittany Konarzewski (Eps. 39-88)
The only girl on the team. She is also Drew's sister.
----
* ArmCannon: Her Striker Blaster as Red Striker.
* TheBigGirl: While not resembling this trope outwardly, she acts tough and, thanks to Flabber, has the strength to back this up.
* BrotherSisterTeam: With Drew, though Roland is there to balance them out.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Subverted as the Red Beetleborg. While she would occasionally wear red, she would more often wear yellow.
* CuteBruiser: Jo is a little girl with SuperStrength who effortlessly defeats classical horror monsters and comic book villains.
* DoubleWeapon: As Platinum Purple, Jo uses the Metallix Baton, a double-bladed spear.
* TheNthDoctor: Via a magical mishap. Replacing the only girl with someone who looks nothing like her? Then do what Beetleborgs did, and say that a spell was placed on Jo which caused her to look and sound different, and then a ''second'' spell makes {{Muggles}} see her old self, but ''not'' the main characters (or viewer). That's a smooth save right there.
* GenderBlenderName: "Jo", which could easily be mistaken for "Joe".
* KnuckleCracking: This is how she activates her civilian powers.
* OneOfTheBoys: Is never seen hanging around with other girls and always spends her free time with Drew and Roland.
%% ZCE * OtakuSurrogate
* PurpleIsPowerful: After losing her Red Striker powers, she upgrades to the more powerful Platinum Purple form.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only girl on the Beetleborgs team.
* SuperMode: Late in season 2, Roboborg restores and combines Jo's original Red Striker powers with her current Platinum Purple powers, granting her access to the Mega Spectra Platinum Purple form, which gives her a dragonfly-like back attachment (letting her fly), a wrist-mounted curved sword and a crossbow.
* SuperStrength: Her "civilian power" allows her to effortlessly lift heavy objects.
* SuperStrongChild: She's nine when the series starts and gained super strength with her Beetleborg powers.
* TomboyishBaseballCap: Wears it backwards.

!!'''Roland Williams (Green Hunter Beetleborg, later Titanium Silver Beetleborg)'''
->'''Played by:''' Herbie Baez
A good friend to Jo and Drew and also the son of Aaron, the owner of Zoom Comics.
----
* BadassFingerSnap: This is how he activates his civilian powers.
%% ZCE * TheLancer
* PowerPincers: His Hunter Claw as the Green Beetleborg. If one counts the Metallic Grappler as the Silver Beetleborg, then he's the only one that keeps his initial weapon theme. He gets a similar weapon to the Hunter Claw in his Mega Spectra Titanium Silver form.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the BlackAndNerdy variety.
* SuperMode: Late in season 2, Roboborg restores and combines Roland's original Green Hunter powers with his current Titanium Silver powers, granting him access to the Mega Spectra Titanium Silver form, which gives him a cape (letting him fly), a wrist-mounted weapon similar to his old Hunter Claw and a sword.
* SuperSpeed: His "civilian power" lets him run really fast.

!!'''Josh Baldwin (White Blaster Beetleborg)'''
->'''Played by:''' Warren Berkow
----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Kabuto, his counterpart in ''Series/JuukouBFighter'' is some kind of armored humanoid insect, whose real form happens to look like a superhero. Here, he is an actual human with the ability to transform.
* EvilKnockoff: Inverted. Josh's White Blaster powers were created to counter the evil Shadowborg.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Despite personally witnessing Shadowborg's rampage in the town (which included buildings being blown up), it takes ''way'' more effort than it should to convince him to become the White Blaster Beetleborg.
* GoodCounterpart: Created specifically as a counterpart to the Shadowborg.
* GoodNeedsEvil: White Blaster was created as an antithesis to Shadowborg. When Shadowborg is defeated, Josh loses his powers.
* GoodWearsWhite: Josh's armor is white and he is a heroic Beetleborg created as a counter to the black-armored Shadowborg.
* {{Invisibility}}: His "civilian power". Loses it along with the rest of his powers.
* PutOnABus: After Shadowborg's destruction, Josh loses his powers, and says he'll be around if the team ever needs him again... And he was never seen or mentioned again.
* SixthRanger: For a few episodes of season 1, during the Shadowborg arc.
* UnskilledButStrong: Was made to be the strongest Beetleborg, but Shadowborg points out he's also the least ''skilled'', which is why despite being made to destroy Shadowborg he can't beat him head on.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: In ''B-Fighter'', his counterpart Kabuto (no relation to ''B-Fighter Kabuto'') was the son of Guru, the insect elder who gave the B-Fighters their powers. Here, he's a normal human and completely unrelated to Guru's rough counterpart Flabber.
* WritersCannotDoMath: Probably the only reason Josh exists at all; Heather is already a Beetleborg fan -- enough so that she works at Zoom Comics -- and has likely known Drew, Jo and Roland her entire life, meaning they would much more easily trust her as White Blaster than someone who just moved to town less then a week beforehand... had Shadowborg not broken her leg during his introductory attack in an obvious attempt by the writers to justify not making Heather the new Beetleborg.

!!'''Astralborgs'''
A group of insect based superheroes drawn by Art Fortunes when he was a kid. They can be summoned into the real world by throwing their corresponding Astral Coin. The Astralborgs help out the Beetleborgs against their foes, the Mantrons, during the Astral Coins saga.
----

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Their counterparts in ''B Fighter Kabuto'' were all humans who could summon PoweredArmor. The Astralborgs are comic book characters made real and have no human forms.
* AnimalThemedSuperBeing: All of them are based on insects generally considered harmless and sometimes even pretty to look at. Dragonborg is based on a dragonfly, Fireborg on a firefly, Lightningborg on a cicada and Ladyborg on a butterfly.
* ArmCannon: Fireborg's Astral Launcher.
* {{BFG}}: Ladyborg's Astral Bazooka.
* DualWielding: Lightningborg's twin Astral Sabers.
* MakeSomeNoise: Lightningborg can emit damaging sound waves from his chest.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Dragonborg really sounds like an imitation of Creator/SeanConnery.
* NonIndicativeName: Despite Ladyborg's design and imagery all clearly invoking butterflies, apparently the pun on "Ladybug" for the sole female Astralborg was just too good to pass up.
* PutOnABus: Like Josh before him, after the Beetleborgs finally get their hands on Roboborg, the Astral Borgs tell them they'll be there when the need arises, but are subsequently never seen again.
* TheCape: Their personalities tend towards this. Justified, as they're comic book characters created by a little kid.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Ladyborg is the only female in this team of borgs.
* SuperPrototype: All of them were drawn by Art Fortunes when he was a kid. These drawings inspired him to create the Beetleborgs comics and can therefore be seen as the prototypes to the Beetleborgs. However, it is obvious that the Astral Borgs are much stronger than the Beetleborgs, as they can easily defeat the Mantrons, while just one Mantron is more than enough to defeat the ''Metallix'' Beetleborgs (who are explicitly stronger than the original Beetleborgs). They can also teleport, which the Beetleborgs can't.

[[folder: Hillhurst Monsters]]
!!General
A group of classic horror monsters living in Hillhurst. They are the reason why the people of Charterville proclaim the house to be haunted.

----
* BullyingTheDragon: Insist on trying to eat the kids despite the three being superheroes who are easily able to handle them with their civilian powers, and could crush them in a second with their Beetleborg powers if they wanted to.
* HarmlessVillain: Except for [[TokenGoodTeammate Flabber]].
* ImAHumanitarian: Except for Flabber, they will try to eat the main kids or any other ones that stumble into the house.
* ImAHumanitarian: They usually try to eat any human they come across.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Sometimes, they'll only help the Beetleborgs if it will somehow benefit them. For example, Flabber convinces them to help keep the kids' identifies a secret because exposure means reporters hanging around Hillhurst and never giving any of them any peace.
* TheMillstone: They frequently cause trouble for the kids for the most selfish of reasons. A good example is when they wanted to give the villains the last Astral Coin needed to control a HumongousMecha. In return, the villains would leave Hillhurst alone. Somehow, they didn't realize that if this deal succeeded, the entire world would be in trouble.
* MonsterMash: Hillhurst is home to a "phantasm", a vampire, a werewolf, a mummy, a Frankenstein monster, a trio of pixie-like girls, and an occasionally seen living statue. They're later joined by a ghoul and sometimes get visits from such beings as Frankie's MadScientist father, a hunchback, and assorted ghosts.
* PetTheDog: They once find a lost baby. It's actually Rocket Man in disguise as part of a Magnavore plot, but they don't know that and care for the tyke as if it were their own. Fangula does try to scare the baby, but he genuinely thought babies like to be scared; the baby laughed instead. They also often act friendly with each other and, on extremely rare occasions, even the kids.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Downplayed. Flabber's actor was always credited and the four main House Monsters (Mums, Frankenbeans, Fangula and Wolfie) were always ''in'' the opening credits, but in episode 3 of ''Metallix'', the new intro starts crediting the quartet's actors as well, with newcomer Little Ghoul and ''her'' actress subsequently joining in episode 4.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Their antics sometimes receive more screentime than the kids' fight against the villains.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: The monsters constantly try to eat the kids, and even when not trying to eat them, they act rude to the kids and treat them as unwanted guests. Despite this, the kids always come to their aid when they need it.
* WouldHurtAChild / WouldHitAGirl: They constantly try to eat kids, and the fact that Jo is a girl doesn’t stop the monsters from trying to eat her.

!!'''Flabber'''
->'''Played by:''' Billy Forester
A phasm who was imprisoned in a pipe organ, until he was freed by the kids. He was the one who made them Beetleborgs and assists them in other ways during their fight against the Magnavores and later Crustaceans.

----
* BigGood: Genuinely cares for the kids, provided their powers, and helps them in any way he possibly can.
* CompositeCharacter: His role combines the Insect Elder Guru, Professor Mukai from ''B-Fighter'' and Dr. Osonai from ''B-Fighter Kabuto''. And in one episode, he becomes the counterpart to Bagma Virus.
* EccentricMentor: Basically acts like a live action version of the Genie from Disney's ''{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}}''. Both Flabber and Genie share a lot of traits (blue, eccentric, wish granter, etc.)
* {{Expy}}: Flabber is basically if Zordon's job was outsourced to the Genie from Disney's ''{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}}''. He is the source of the kids' Beetleborg powers and acts as their mentor in the world of super heroing, but punctuates almost every sentence with a pun or joke using his powers.
* LargeHam: It says something when the kids occasionally have to tell him to be serious.
* LiteralGenie: A benevolent example, as he did not let the kids stick with a badly executed wish and instead gave them what they really wanted after rectifying his mistake. Flabber is also a literal genie in another way, as he frequently uses his magic to literally depict puns and expressions.
* TheMentor: Of the Beetleborgs.
* MoreThanThreeDimensions: Is from the seventh dimension, according to the Pipettes in the first episode.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Flabber granting the kids' wish of becoming Beetleborgs (and then not "watching the gateway", as he put it) caused the Magnavores to escape the comic book and into the real world, which makes him the cause of the series' entire conflict.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Based on Liberace, Elvis Presley, and Jay Leno. ''Series/TheTonightShow with Jay Leno'' commented on this. Needless to say, Jay was a bit put out...
* PapaWolf: He genuinely does care for the kids, and is quick to protect them from his roommates. When the Phantom tries to kidnap Jo, if it weren't for them being equal in strength, Flabber would've turned him into a candlestick for it without question.
* RealityWarper: Is capable of being this to a certain degree.
* ScaledUp: If he ''wants'' to be terrifying, his form of choice is a giant dragon he's assumed on several occasions.
* SealedGoodInACan: At the start of the series, he's trapped in an old organ until Jo leans on the keyboard with her elbow and frees him (later explained as her hitting three specific notes in order). Playing them in reverse in the season 1 finale sucks him back in, but when Jo ''sits'' on the keyboard, it frees him a second time.
* TheSocialExpert: Capable of preventing the other Hillhurst monsters from torturing the Beetleborg kids.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: As the counterpart to Guru and Bagma Virus, Flabber survives whereas they died.
* TokenGoodTeammate: The only one of the Hillhurst crew who ''always'' willingly helps the kids.

!!'''Count Fangula'''
->'''Played by:''' Joe Hackett
A rather ineffectual vampire.

----
* {{Animorphism}}: As with all classical vampires, Fangula can change himself into a bat.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: One episode sees him undergo a ForcedTransformation into a counterpart to Zyren, a monster from ''Series/BFighterKabuto''.
* ClassicalMovieVampire: Is dressed as a thinly disguised parody of the classic portrayal of Dracula.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Zigzagged. He is certainly a huge jerk to the kids and really wants to suck their blood, but never leaves Hillhurst to hunt for blood. In fact, when his superior, Vlad the Impaler, demanded he should do so, Fangula fell into a depression, rather than going out to suck blood. This implies he really does not want to be a vampire.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: He can survive in the sun with no problem so long as he wears sunglasses. He also doesn't need to drink blood, though he considers it a treat. Mainly, this is because he doesn't like hurting people and drinking blood ''usually'' means a vampire is biting someone somewhere squishy. When offered Black Pudding, he was delighted both by the taste and the fact that he had a source of blood that wasn't people.
* TheSmartGuy: He specializes in witchcraft.
* TranslatorBuddy: He is responsible for translating whatever Wolfie is saying.

!!'''Frankenbeans'''
->'''Played by:''' David Fletcher
Like his name suggests, he is a parody of Frankenstein's monster, only with the mentality of a toddler.

----
* TheBigGuy: He's the tallest and effectively strongest out of all the Hillhurst monsters.
* DumbMuscle: Is about as strong as Jo at times, but due to lacking a brain, he is the dumbest monster living in Hillhurst.
* EinsteinHair: It's pretty wild.
* FrankensteinsMonster: His name clearly suggests that he's based on this.
* HulkSpeak: A result of his lacking intelligence.
* ManChild: Is the biggest of the monsters, but has the maturity of a toddler.
* UglyCute: He certainly looks scary, but his childlike behavior still makes him endearing to watch.

!!'''Mums'''
->'''Played by:''' Blake Torney
->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Sorich
An undead Egyptian mummy who somehow ended up in America.

----
* AdaptationalHeroism: His one-off reaper form uses the suit from ''B-Fighter'' MonsterOfTheWeek Mercenary Shinigamian. Unlike Shinigamian, Mums is one of the good guys.
* AndIMustScream: Was apparently mummified alive as punishment for kissing Cleopatra. Since this is a kids show, mummification simply involved wrapping him in bandages and shutting him in a pyramid. Still, the priest who mummified him did curse him with eternal life, while being sealed in a pyramid.
* DemBones: Is briefly shown what he looks like without his bandages, which is a walking skeleton.
* HiddenDepths: He actually apparently knows how to do magic himself and is decent with it, but rarely ever uses it.
* JerkAss: Usually the least sympathetic of the Monsters.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: His mother is soft-spoken, polite, and doesn't try to eat anyone--everything he isn't. Maybe he takes after his father instead.
%% ZCE * JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* ALizardNamedLiz: He's a mummy named Mums, making this a rare non-animal example.
* {{Mummy}}: Is the classical portrayal of this trope: A walking corpse wrapped in bandages.
* MommasBoy: Absolutely loves his mother. When she drops by for a visit in Season 2, he insists on making everything perfect for her.
* OneWingedAngel: Can transform into a reaper-like form by unwrapping his bandages. Only did this in the first episode though. Other episodes in which he is unwrapped simply show his skeleton falling apart.
%% ZCE * PluckyComicRelief
* ShockAndAwe: Seems to be able to send out electrical shocks in his reaper form.

!!'''Wolfgang "Wolfie" Smith'''
->'''Played by:''' Frank Tahoe
->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Sorich, Scott Page-Pagter
A werewolf who was Fangula's previous roommate in another haunted house. He wanted to move in at Hillhurst, much to the displeasure of the other monsters, but ultimately got permission to stay, as he would otherwise be recruited to the Magnavores.

----
* BadassNormal: While being a werewolf is anything but normal, Wolfgang has none of the fancy powers the Beetleborgs and their enemies have, yet still managed to score some victories against the Beetleborgs' enemies. In fact, if it wasn't for Wolfgang, the villains might have succeeded in some of their plans.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Don't push Wolfie too far -- he ''will'' fight back, even against Nukus, trying to help the Beetleborgs in their first battle against the villain. It didn't help much, but he was actually able to touch the guy, which the heroes couldn't.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: A flashback in "Headless Over Heels" indicates he was living on his own in the woods and eager to find a home before arriving at Hillhurst.
* TheHeart: The nicest and most sympathetic of the Hillhurst Monsters. While the other Hillhurst Monsters care only for themselves and their house, Wolfgang helped the kids with their battle against the villains at some occasions. However, he still has some selfish tendencies and, like his roommates, still tries to eat the kids when he's hungry.
* NoodleIncident: When the HeadlessHorseman comes looking for his missing head, Wolfgang has it as a keepsake. According to Flabber, Wolfie has had a habit of bringing home strange heads.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: He's permanently in humanoid wolf form.
* PetTheDog: Aside from Flabber, Wolfgang is the ''most'' prone to freely helping the team out against enemies, such as when he tried to fight Nukus during the battle where he destroyed the original Beetleborg powers, and later when he freely attempted to attack Horribelle when she broke in to kidnap Art in "Battle Station Alert" (even ''without'' the kids around).
* SpannerInTheWorks: Wolfie's hearing is so good that he can hear Hagfish's hypnotic song all the way in Hillhurst's basement. It's so loud the first time that it causes him to double over in pain; this allows Flabber to learn what's going on and warn Drew before it's too late.
* TheUnintelligible: He express himself with howling and barking, forcing Fangula to translate his language.
* WerewolfThemeNaming: Played straight; he's a werewolf named Wolfgang.
* WonderfulWerewolf: When he's not trying to eat the kids, at least.

!!'''Ghoulum'''
->'''Played by:''' Dan Letlow
A living statue standing in the entrance hall of Hillhurst.

----
* AscendedExtra: Downplayed. He's not very prominent compared to the other monsters, but he's more active than the giant statue that was used to represent him in the B-Fighter footage.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Was forcibly turned evil and mind controlled by Noxic in one episode, but ultimately saved by the Beetleborgs.
* LivingStatue: Exactly.
* PunnyName: Hi name is derived from "ghoul" and "golem".
* TheQuietOne: Says and does very little compared to his roommates. He is, after all, a statue.
* TheUnintelligible: Prefers grunts rather than words.

!!'''Little Ghoul'''
->'''Played by:''' Lina Godouse
A hooded female monster who moves into Hillhurst's basement shortly after the kids get their Metallix powers.

----
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Her response after the Hillhurst monsters demand to see what's under her hood.
* ADogNamedDog: She's a ghoul who happens to be little.
* TheFaceless: She is only seen as a Jawa-like pair of eyes under a hood. Whenever she takes it off, she's facing away from the screen, and [[TakeOurWordForIt the person who is seeing her tends to run screaming]].
* InTheHood: And [[PleaseKeepYourHatOn for a good reason...]]
* SixthRanger: To the House Monsters in ''Metallix''.
* StickyFingers: Really likes to steal other peoples stuff, to the point where she is usually the first suspect whenever something is missing.
* SuddenlyShouting: Part of her abrasive personality is owed to doing this on a regular basis.
* TokenGoodTeammate: PlayedWith. She's a thief and a {{Troll}} but she's also the only one of the house monsters besides Flabber who doesn't try to eat the kids on a regular basis.
* {{Troll}}: She loves messing with others. She claims it's a racial trait.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Other allies]]
!!'''Aaron Williams'''
->'''Played by:''' Kim Delgado
Roland's father and owner of Zoom Comics.

----
* PutOnABus: Suddenly got a job as a sales representative for Beetleborgs comics, forcing Roland's mother Abbie to take over Zoom Comics.
%% ZCE * ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* TeamDad: Though he doesn't know about the PowerTrio's abilities.

!!'''Nano Williams'''
->'''Played by:''' Vivian Smallwood
Roland's rather eccentric, but cool grandmother. She is also seen helping Zoom Comics.

----
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: To Aaron.
* BlackBossLady: Though she's not the true owner of Zoom Comics, she sometimes acts like it.
* CoolOldLady: She likes to ride motorcycles, is a skilled martial artist and would rather fight the MonsterOfTheWeek than flee from it.
* NeverMessWithGranny: Do not get on her bad side, as she does not hesitate to use her martial arts skills against you.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Abbie's girly girl.

!!'''Abbie Williams'''
->'''Played by:''' Channe Nolen
Roland's mom, who takes over Zoom Comics when her husband [[PutOnABus leaves for business]].

----
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She's not that different compared to her husband.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Nano's tomboy.

!!'''Heather'''
->'''Played by:''' Elizabeth Z. Lund
A girl who works at Zoom comics. She seems to be well liked, as she has to constantly put up with the advances of Trip and Van, while Drew is just too shy to admit he loves her.

----
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Drew has a crush on her but is too shy to tell her.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Just kind of stops appearing halfway through the Metallix season.
* DamselInDistress: Occasionally, most notably in a daydream where Drew first fantasizes about being a Beetleborg.

!!'''Arthur "Art" Fortunes'''
->'''Played by:''' Rigg Kennedy
The artist of the Beetleborgs comics. He sometimes comes to help out by drawing new weapons and vehicles for the kids, which are brought to the real world by Flabber.

----
* EinsteinHair: Though he does comb it down sometimes.
* FullNameUltimatum: Refers to Les as "Lester" when the two are verbally sniping at one another.
* MadArtist: A bit eccentric but a rare good example of this trope.
* MeaningfulName: He's the creator of the Beetleborg comics, which makes him an "artist" that made "fortunes."
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He blurts out who ''really'' created Nukus in front of him, leading to Nukus gaining allies and a reliable source of monsters. To be fair though, Nukus was ''very'' intimidating (having already destroyed the Beetleborgs' powers by that point), so poor Art was literally scared out of his wits at the time.
* SiblingYinYang: With his older brother Les. He's good and white-haired; Les is evil and dark-haired.

!!'''Dr. Baron von Frankenbeans'''
->'''Played by:''' Don Altman
The mad scientist who created Frankenbeans. He is a recurring visitor of Hillhurst whose experiments cause all sorts of trouble for the monsters and kids, though not on purpose, but rather because the experiment went wrong.

----
* DarkIsNotEvil: His first appearance makes him seem like a deranged, demanding scientist quick to perform experiments on the various monsters, but he's actually quite kindhearted. What he did to the monsters were treatments for various issues; as painful as the processes clearly were, they feel loads better afterwards. He also loves Frankenbeans like a son.
* DramaticThunder: Every time he introduces himself and sometimes even when someone else mentions his name, the rumbling of thunder can be heard.
* HerrDoktor: As you can tell from his name.
* MadScientist: A rare benevolent example, as he is a really well meaning man. He created Frankenbeans and considers himself his father.

!!'''Trip and Van'''
->'''Played by:''' Todd Hurst & Patrick Seaborn
Two insanely wealthy brothers who frequently try to bully the Beetleborg kids, but always end up being victims themselves as the kids secretly use their superpowers on them.

----
* TheDitz: Van tends to be this at times, much to Trip's annoyance.
* PetTheDog: During the Christmas special, they bring a Christmas dinner to replace the one that got destroyed, purely out of Christmas spirit.
* PutOnABus: In season 1's finale, they go to live on their father's country estate.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Are this to the kids. They often try to hinder the kids in rather petty ways.
* [[RichBitch Rich Jerks]]: They're a pair of wealthy brothers who antagonize the main characters.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Borgslayer starts wreaking havoc, they decide they've had enough and leave town... then return for a short while at the insistence of Nukus, telling the Beetleborgs the technique that destroys Borgslayer. Once they've passed on the information, they depart for good.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: They dared the heroes to go into Hillhurst, setting the plot of the series in motion. Including all the monster attacks.

!!'''Dudley'''
->'''Played by:''' Dudley Davis
Van and Trip's butler, who always accompanies them on their misadventures.

----
* TheDragAlong: Often forced to join in with whatever Van and Trip are planning.
* ServileSnarker: He's Trip and Van's chauffeur.
* UnfazedEveryman: Doesn't lose his flat, bored demeanor when he's taken hostage by the Magnavores.

[[/folder]]

!!Villains

[[folder: The Magnavores]]
The first set of villains. The Magnavores are villains hailing from the Beetleborgs comics. They are accidentally set free by Flabber when he opened the gate to the comic book dimension to turn the kids into Beetleborgs.

----
* AdaptationalComicRelief: The main trio, Jara, Noxic and Typhus are almost always played for laughs, due to their incompetency and clashing personalities. Their ''B-Fighter'' counterparts, Jera, Schwartz and Gigaro while having moments of comedy are serious and threatening villains.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: The main trio is easily distracted by pretty much everything they encounter during their missions for Vexor. An example is when they were send out to steal comic books so Vexor could create an army of monsters. During said mission, they decided to steal donuts, getting them into trouble with the police.
* DumbassHasAPoint: The main trio openly distrust and dislike Nukus. Part of this is jealousy over being replaced as Vexor's right-hand goon, but they also call his loyalty into question multiple times. Naturally, they're spot on the money -- he was plotting from the start to have them sent back into the comics and then take over as the new lead villain.
* TheEmpire: According to [[https://www.grnrngr.com/cards/cardzillion/beetleborgs/card/28 this card]], they are the rulers of the Magnavorian empire in the comic books.
* ForTheEvulz: There never seems to be a reason for their evil behavior. While the villains in sister show ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' have stated they want to take over the world, the Magnavores have no such motivation. This gets lampshaded in "Borgslayer!"; when asked why he needs a new minion, Vexor said the others wasted a year on silly nonsense, such as stealing donuts.
* HarmlessVillain: They never seem to pose any real threat due to their incompetence. While Vexor seems capable enough to avert this trope, he rarely actually acts directly, only via elaborate plans. It's little wonder that the [[TokenCompetentMinion Shadowborg]] is Vexor's only minion he actually ''liked''.
* RefugeeFromTVLand: Are comicbook characters come to life.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Their counterparts in ''B-Fighter'' are all KilledOffForReal or subjected to a FateWorseThanDeath. In ''Beetleborgs'', the villains are merely sent back to the comic books.
* TerribleTrio: Jara, Noxic and Typhus fit this trope.

----
!!'''Vexor'''
->'''Played by:''' Rick Tane
->'''Voiced by:''' Joey Pal
The first villainous leader.

----
* AdaptationalNiceguy: While he's still a villain, he's nowhere near the levels of awful Gaohm reached [[spoiler:(namely, Vexor never attempted to open a black hole above Earth to kill everyone in hopes of luring a goddess out so he could be fully brought to life)]].
* AdaptationalWimp: His counterpart Gaohm's ability to send the B-Fighters into [[PhantomZone the Gaohm Zone]] was not adapted.
* AdaptedOut: There's no sign that, unlike his ''B-Fighter'' counterpart [[spoiler:he's not really a bizarre, embryonic entity in a tank somewhere who was only created from a random warp in space.]]
* BigBad: Of season 1.
* TheChessmaster: Tends to come up with elaborate plans for dealing with things rather than using brute force and is definitely smarter than his underlings. He'd probably be a far more effective villain with more competent minions, something showcased when he has the powerful and genuinely competent Shadowborg instead.
%%* EvilIsPetty
* NonActionBigBad: Apart from one short skirmish with the Beetleborgs, which he lost (though what, if anything, his OneWingedAngel form is capable of is never shown), he never takes any direct action against them. He's more keen on making plans and schemes than fighting directly, and many of his plans fail more due to his minions' incompetence than anything.
* NotSoAboveItAll: During the Christmas special, Jara gives him a stocking and, while he still berates them for being idiots, he still seems to enjoy it and take a break from evil for the night.
* NotSoStoic: While he has his hammy moments, he's normally rather subdued and rarely ever raises his voice. However, towards the end of the series the TerribleTrio [[SurroundedByIdiots constantly failing]] clearly begins to get on his last nerve and he starts raising his voice.
* OneWingedAngel: Briefly turns into a monstrous giant after being defeated in his normal form. How strong this is is never shown.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Does not really take active action against the Beetleborgs. Though he does make plans and do other things, such as trying to seal the portal to the second dimension so that the Magnavores couldn't be defeated and creating Shadowborg.
* OutOfFocus: Because of the above, he doesn't get as much screentime as his three underlings. Some episodes he doesn't appear at all because the there's no scene at their base.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Feels this way about his generals. Given he's far smarter than they are and many of his plans fail due to their incompetence, he has a point. Shadowborg is his only minion he actually ''likes'' because he's actually serious and competent.
--> '''Vexor''': When am I going to learn not to rely on you bumbling boneheads? If there's a brain cell among you, it's ''dying of loneliness''!
* WeNeedADistraction: Many of his directly ordered monster attacks are explicitly intended more as distractions from his intentions than his main attack.

----
!!'''Typhus'''
->'''Played by:''' Kyle Jordan
->'''Voiced by:''' Dave Footman

----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Gigaro, his ''B-fighter'' counterpart is a skeletal humanoid from another dimension who biologically augmented his body to become stronger. Typhus is a comic book villain made real.
%%* TheBrute
* EvilSoundsDeep: Has a very low guttural voice.
* VillainousGlutton: Frequently stuffs himself through the mouth on the top of his head.

----
!!'''Noxic'''
->'''Played by:''' Lee Whey
->'''Voiced by:''' David Umansky

* EvilGenius: Fulfills this role by default, though admittedly actual brainpower, as with the other Magnavores, is lacking.
* MechanicalLifeform: He looks like a humanoid robot.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He sounds a lot like Creator/JoePesci.

----
!!'''Jara'''
->'''Played by:''' Balinda English
->'''Voiced by:''' Rajia Baroudi

----
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Her ''B-Fighter'' counterpart Jera was a human wearing a mask. Jara is simply a comic book villain made real.
%%* TheBaroness
* TheDragon: Even with levels of TheStarscream.
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Got bitten by Wolfgang in "She Wolf" and became the Magnavore equivalent. The two proceeded to have a lot of fun terrorizing people until Jara was returned to normal. She subsequently dumped Wolfie, much to his disappointment.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: She sounds either like a FakeRussian or a {{Vampire Vord|s}}.

----
!!'''Shadowborg'''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BobPapenbrook

----
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: His ''B-Fighter'' counterpart Black Beet is a human clone of TheHero who can transform into an armored form. Shadowborg is a robot who happens to look like an evil Beetleborg.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike Shadow, he doesn't get any form of redemption.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To the TerribleTrio, being competent, serious, and actually capable of doing what Vexor wants. [[GreenEyedMonster They're naturally incredibly jealous of him for it]].
* AxCrazy: While mostly subdued, it's clear he's a sadistic monster who ''enjoys'' attacking the town and actively aiming at innocent civilians.
* BadassBoast: A large amount of his dialog consists of these. He lives up to them.
* DarkIsEvil: He's evil and has a black color scheme.
* DeadpanSnarker: In contrast to the other villains, he doesn't joke or go LargeHam, rather keeping his quips to deadpan one-liners.
* DemotedToExtra: Black Beet, his ''B-Fighter'' counterpart plays a role in almost two thirds of the series. Shadowborg only appears in six episodes.
* TheDragon: To Vexor during his arc.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Beetleborgs as a whole, but mostly to Drew, as Shadowborg is created from a part of his armor.
* EvilKnockoff: Is an evil, fully mechanical copy of the Blue Stinger Borg created from his armor.
* ImplacableMan: When first introduced, nothing the heroes do, including making weapons and powers ''explicitly intended'' to kill him, does much to phase him. It takes Drew risking turning himself evil with Vexor's Energy Axis to finally take him down.
* KilledOffForReal: Unlike every other villain, Shadowborg isn't a comic book character who can be sent back. He's actually ''killed'' when destroyed by Mega Blue Beetleborg. While Art adds him to the comic, even if that version was ever summoned, it'd not be the same one.
* KnightOfCerebus: He's definitely a more serious and threatening villain than the other season 1 bad guys.
* KryptoniteProofSuit: He's not originally from the comics so he can't be sent back into a comic book like most other villains and has to be destroyed outright.
* PowerParasite: In his debut episode, he steals the other Beetleborgs' powers. Unlike most examples, he already has powers of his own; he just does it to DePower the heroes and boost his existing strength.
* RoboticPsychopath: Is a robotic copy of Blue Stinger Borg, and a sadistic, AxCrazy monster who is clearly enjoying attacking the town and tormenting the kids.
* TokenCompetentMinion: Shadowborg was the only minion that Vexor actually ''liked'' due to him being the only one of his minions who was an actual threat to the Beetleborgs and being capable of carrying out his evil plans successfully.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Is ''much'' more dangerous and powerful than anything before, and completely lacks any humorous traits. He's also the first villain to actively be show aiming at ''people'' with intent to kill. Is it any wonder he's Vexor's only minion he actually ''liked''?

[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Crustaceans]]

The second group of villains. Unlike the Magnavores, who come directly from the Beetleborgs comics, this group comes from sketches made by Art Fortunes' deranged and criminal brother Les Fortunes. This probably explains why they are more effective at being villains compared to their predecessors, the Magnavores.

----
!!Nukus
->'''Played by:''' Christopher Cho
The new BigBad. In his first appearance, he proves himself to be more intelligent and competent than Vexor -- not only does he destroy the paper he was summoned from (and later a second drawing of himself) to keep from being readily sent back into the two-dimensional world, he gets rid of the other villains in an elaborate scheme before taking over. He is also more proactive compared to Vexor, as he frequently goes to the battlefield himself.

----
* AchillesHeel: He does have one major weakness: if his sword is used by anyone but him to create a monster, not only can he not control it, if it's not sent back to the 2nd dimension in time, it creates another rift like the one that happened when Borgslayer was destroyed, only this time it'd take all the Crustaceans with it, including Nukus. This heel is never exploited though, in part because he's smart enough to not let the Borgs know the one time he's forced into an EnemyMine because of it.
* AdaptationalBadass: While his ''Series/BFighterKabuto'' counterpart Raija is a formidable warrior in his own right, he was merely one of two CoDragons to Mother Melzard, the series BigBad. Nukus IS the BigBad in ''Metallix'' and is able to turn every drawing or picture into a living being or a fully functional object. Raija lacked this abillity.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Raija is merely the enforcer of Mother Melzard in ''Kabuto'', preferring straightforward combat to elaborate schemes. Nukus is more of a schemer who manipulates others into doing his bidding, as seen when he sets up the Magnavores for defeat to take their position as the villain.
* BadBoss: Mostly towards Les.
* BatmanGambit:
** His entire first plan consists of exploiting the way the Beetleborgs typically react when Hillhurst is attacked to destroy the Battle Base and Gargantis, and play Vexor in such a way he can tell him to his face that Borgslayer's destruction will take the Magnavores with him without Vexor once suspecting he's going to be betrayed.
** His plan to find the Lost Comic consists of sending Les to try and get the location out of Art... knowing Les will likely fail, but in doing so the heroes will find the Lost Comic thinking the [[MacGuffinDeliveryService Crustaceans are looking for it, leading them right to it.]]
* BigBad: Of ''Metallix''.
* BreakTheBadass: In his first battle with the Beetleborgs, he intimidates the kids and the monsters in a way the Magnavores never could.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "(Insert Monster's Name Here)! Arise!", whenever he brings something out of the comics. It's implied it's necessary for his sword to work, as Les and Vilor have to say it when they do it. Given he doesn't ''just'' summon monsters, this leads to some interesting statements, especially given [[TheComicallySerious Nukus's generally serious delivery and lack of comical traits.]]
--> '''Nukus''': (When [[ItMakesSenseInContext summoning a normal guy from an insurance ad]]) Average Man! Arise!
* TheComicallySerious: While a KnightOfCerebus and a dead serious character, that very same serious can cause for some humor given who he's often sharing the screen with, or some of the stuff he ends up having to say.
* DragonAscendant: Was Vexor's right-hand goon before the Magnavores disappeared back into the comics.
* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Defied. He tells the heroes how to beat Borgslayer... with a method that's completely worthless on him. He also keeps how his sword brings monsters into the 3rd dimension and how it works very close to his chest, as until it became relevant for Les and Vilor to know after accidentally causing his AchillesHeel to come into play, and even then makes sure not to tell the ''Beetleborgs'' it when forced into an EnemyMine with them.
* EyeBeams: He can shoot what seems to be fire from his eyes, which is how he destroys both the original sheet of paper he was summoned from and later another copy of it; when he and Les Fortunes first meet, he also sets Les' pencils on fire with his eye beams to prove he's the real deal and not just some guy in a costume.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: The House Monsters are... well, ''monsters''. They're terrified of Nukus's power after seeing him in action though, and opt to hide in various parts of the house after he first walks in and growls at them. Even ''Ghoulum'', the living statue, runs and hides when Nukus gives him a look while walking past him.
* KnightOfCerebus: While the show still stays lighthearted and goofy after Nukus's appearance, he is much more of a threat compared to Vexor, who was just there to berate his minions for failing. He's also presented as much more intimidating than the Magnavores ever were.
* LargeHam: Nukus really does not know what subtlety is, as every line spoken by him is this.
* ManipulativeBastard: Sets up Vexor and his minions to be defeated and sent back to the comic books, allowing him to take over as the new villain. His entire plan to destroy the Beetle Battle Base and Gargantis revolves around knowing exactly how the Beetleborgs will react.
* MindOverMatter: He demonstrates telekinesis at times, such as in the opening episode of ''Metallix'' (where he mainly uses it to open doors and expose the House Monsters when they're hiding from him).
* NoSell: Having successfully defeated Borgslayer by triangulating their firepower, the Beetleborgs try to get rid of Nukus with the same tactic. He shrugs it off with no problem, then reveals he knew the technique wouldn't work on him -- that's why he told them about it (via proxy) in the first place.
%% ZCE * ObviouslyEvil
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Averted, as he regularly sets foot on the battlefield. He faced the Beetleborgs way more often than Vexor ever did (to say nothing of the lead villains on [[Franchise/PowerRangers Saban's]] [[Series/MaskedRider other]] [[Series/VRTroopers shows]]).
* PetTheDog: In the opening episode of ''Metallix'', he rewards a kid who helps him find the prison by turning his dog into his favorite animal, a monkey.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Why he usually departs a battle. He's rarely ever losing outright, but if it's just not worth his trouble, he'll leave and let some mook take it from there.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: The series ends with he, Horribelle and Vilor all still alive and free. ''B-Fighter Kabuto'' saw them all killed off by the individual B-Fighters.
* TheStarscream: To Vexor. Though a rather competent one, since he permanently takes over the position of Big Bad.
* SuperMode: Mega Nukus, gained from touching Les's transmogrifier device.
* VillainDecay: Was basically unstoppable in his first appearances, before ending up failing to fight them again later; then again, the Beetleborgs got new upgraded armors, most likely didn't fall to the same tricks anymore, and he still could handle them pretty well in a fight. It should be noted that he never actually gets beaten so badly he ''has'' to retreat for his entire run, and normally simply retreats when he feels the situation has become unfavorable.
* WouldHurtAChild: Zig-zagged. He has no problem fighting the kids when they're powered up. After destroying their powers at the start of Season 2, however, he otherwise gently moves them out of his way and focuses on more important targets (Flabber and Art).

----
!!Horribelle
->'''Played by:''' Claudine Barros
Nukus's female second-in-command. She is a mantis-based warrior, armed with two blades.

----
* CoDragons: Is one of two dragons to Nukus, the other being Vilor.
* DualWielding: She wields a pair of hooked swords as her primary weapon.
* PunnyName: Obviously a pun on "horrible", which is actually what inspires her name when Nukus sees her drawing:
-->'''Nukus''': "Who's this? She's so wonderfully... horrible."
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female among the villains. Also the only one without a SuperMode, leading to her forcing Les into creating a new weapon for her: the Astral Axe, and the giant mecha Boron that comes with it.
* SlayingMantis: Her motif is that of a praying mantis.
* TheStarscream: Temporarily turns into this after being jealous of Nukus and Vilor's super modes, while not getting one herself. This only lasts for one episode.

----
!!Vilor
->'''Played by:''' Kyle Jordan
->'''Voiced by:''' Dave Footman

----
* AdaptationalDumbass: Dezzle from ''B Fighter Kabuto'' preferred elaborate schemes over direct combat and even schemes against his brother Raija for the approval of Mother Melzard. Vilor is merely TheBrute to Nukus.
* TheBrute: Never seems to come up with any plans of his own and is only send out to do the Crustaceans' dirty work.
* ButtMonkey: While Nukus and Horribelle are both presented as serious and dangerous villains, Vilor normally gets treated like a joke and suffers far more defeats than either of them. He's also the only one of the three the heroes manage to beat ''without'' transforming. This status is ''why'' he had Les turn him into Super Vilor in the first place.
* CoDragons: Is one of two dragons to Nukus, the other being Horribelle.
* FishPeople: Looks like a humanoid fish.
* PunnyName: Like Horribelle, Vilor's name is a pun on a word Nukus used to describe him on seeing his drawing -- in his case, "vile".
* SuperMode: Had two different super modes, albeit only temporary. The first one, called Super Vilor, was used in the Astral Coins saga. It was drawn by Les Fortunes and realized by Nukus, giving him greater power and arming Vilor with a trident. The second one is Mega Vilor, gained from touching Les's transmogrifier device. Due to stock footage constraints, he doesn't have them very long, as he reverts back to his original form after just one battle each.
* TookALevelInBadass: Super Vilor is ''way'' stronger than his original form, as in it he's even stronger than the Mantrons. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't keep it long, as it effectively takes a trip back to the second dimension for him.

----
!!Lester "Les" Fortunes
->'''Played by:''' Marshal Hilton
Art Fortunes' brother. Les is also an artist, albeit one with a much darker taste compared to his brother, seeing as the characters he has drawn are more threatening than whatever Art came up with. He somehow ended up in jail ten years before his debut, though the series never elaborated on why.

----
* AmbiguousCriminalHistory: Nukus finds him prison where he's been for ten years with no sign they plan to ever release him. Why he was locked up is never revealed.
* BreakingOutTheBoss: Inverted. His creation, Nukus, breaks him out... but makes it clear that ''he's'' in charge.
* BullyingADragon: He has zero problem talking back to Nukus despite Nukus being leagues stronger than him and having no qualms about killing people. Justified, however, as [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou Les is far too valuable to Nukus to kill]], something Les seems aware of.
* ButtMonkey: Nukus constantly threatens him and pushes him around.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: It's shown that Les is a legitimately brilliant artist and the one comic book that he manages to publish with help from Nukus sells like hotcakes. Despite that, he became a criminal and later a supervillain.
* EinsteinHair: It's even wilder than his brother's.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Nukus tends to refer to him simply as "Cartoonist". It irritates Les because he thinks of himself as more than a mere cartoonist.
* FullNameUltimatum: Refers to Art as "Arthur" when the two are verbally sniping at one another.
* HateSink: InUniverse, no one on ''either'' side [[HatedByAll likes him much]]. In one episode Flabber ''intentionally'' sics the Hillhurst monsters on him, whether to just scare him off or let them [[NightmareFuel eat him]] is unclear.
* InsistentTerminology: He says he's an artist, not a cartoonist.
* MadArtist: Mad enough that he's willing to work for Nukus and draw him new monsters to use against the Beetleborgs.
* MakerOfMonsters: Creates Nukus and all of his monsters.
* MeaningfulName: As in "less fortunate", especially when compared to his brother.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: After the Beetleborgs try (and fail) to summon Boron in the finale, he starts gloating and inadvertently tells them the extra word they need to do so.
* NightmareFetishist: His genre of choice is HorrorComicBooks and his monsters are basically horror movie monsters. Notably, the Booger Man's nightmare powers are considered amazing inspiration for the guy, and after a brief scare is ''excited'' to draw what he saw in his nightmare.
* NoodleIncident: It's never revealed just why he was sent to the Charterville Prison for the Criminally Insane.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: After the Beetleborgs have taken control of Boron, he finally has enough of Nukus’ abuse and decides to go back to jail for some peace and quiet.
* SiblingYinYang: With his younger brother Art, who is good and white-haired, while Les is evil and dark-haired.
* TheStarscream: Tries this a bunch of times, but fails horribly at it.

----
!!'''The Mantrons'''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BobPapenbrook (Scorpix), Lee Hondo Woodford (Centipix), Ethan Murray (Mantix), Bob Johnson (Hornix)
A group of four evil Borgs drawn by Les Fortunes when he was a kid and brought to life by Nukus when he found said drawing. They are Scorpix, Centepix, Mantix and Hornix, who, as their names suggest are based on a scorpion, centipede, mantis and hornet.

----
* AnimalThemedSuperBeing: All four are based on predatory arthropods:
** CreepyCentipedes: Centepix
** ScaryScorpions: Scorpix
** SlayingMantis: Mantix
** WickedWasps: Hornix
* ArcVillain: Only appeared during the Astral Sword saga and are destroyed after Drew summons Roboborg for the first time.
* ChestBlaster: Centepix has a sphere-like one exposed when his chestplates open vertically.
* CurbStompBattle: Are at the receiving end of one against Roboborg during the latter's first appearance. This results in them being sent back to the comics.
* DemotedToExtra: Their ''B-Fighter Kabuto'' counterparts, the B-Crushers, lasted for almost half the series. The Mantrons lasted only 8 episodes.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Well, ''defeated'' differently in adaptation. The B-Crushers all died in individual battles (Descorpion against Kabuto, Mukadelinger when a bomb inside him was activated and Killmantis and Beezak while blowing up the Neo Beet Machines' hanger), while the Mantrons were simply blasted by the Beetleborgs, Astral Borgs and Roboborg's eye lasers and sent back to the Lost Comic.
* DualWielding: Mantix has two blades resembling a praying mantis' claws.
* KnightOfCerebus: Their first appearance shows them effortlessly wiping the floor with the Beetleborgs, suggesting they really need to up their game before the same thing happens again.
* ThePsychoRangers: Not to the Beetleborgs themselves, but rather to their backup team; the Astral Borgs.

----
!! '''Repgillian'''
The final monster of the series, created by tossing several older monster drawings into a vat of toxic waste and then summoning the result forth as a single creature.

----
* AdaptationalDumbass: Its ''B Fighter Kabuto'' counterpart was actually the final form of the show's BigBad. Here, it is merely a non-sentient beast created by Nukus.
* ClimaxBoss: Required the effort of Roboborg, Boron and the Mega Spectra Beetleborgs to defeat it, being the hardest battle they ever fought.
* {{Kaiju}}: Is notable for being the only monster in the show to be a giant rather than human-sized.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Can best be described as a giant reptilian monster. Its name even reflects this.
