"Mini-Maximum Justice!"

Voiced by: John Michael Higgins
Appearances: The Series (debut: "Mini-Max")

Fred's sidekick robot.


  • Achilles' Heel: "Mini-Maximum Trouble" showcases that Mini-Max's is water. Luckily, Hiro fixes that by the end of the episode.
  • Adaptational Badass: The Mini-Max from the Big Hero 6 manga that was simply a robotic companion to Aunt Cass that was not programmed to fight whatsoever. Here in the series, he's Fred's robot sidekick and can hold a fight.
  • Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the manga, Mini-Max was Aunt Cass' robot. While in the series, he's Fred's robot and the occasional Seventh Ranger to the Big Hero 6 team.
  • Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Just like Baymax, when Mini-Max is on low-battery, he acts like he had too much to drink.
  • Ax-Crazy: Normally averted, but when water alters his personality chip, he's vicious and capable of murder.
  • Badass Adorable: He's just as cute as Baymax and knows how to handle a fight.
  • Bad "Bad Acting": Justified, since Mini-Max is a robot and is only programmed to be Fred's over-the-top sidekick. It doesn't make his terrible impression of Mochi less hilarious:
    Mini-Max: MINI-MAXIMUM CAT IMPRESSION! Purr, purr! In the name of all that is cute! Purr!
    [Beat]
    Fred: [Aunt Cass] might not buy it...
  • Big Guy, Little Guy: The Little Guy to both Fred and Baymax's Big Guys.
  • Blue Is Heroic: A heroic robot with a dark blue armor and red highlights to boot. His eyes are blue, too.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: When in contact with too much water, Mini-Max's personality switches from good to bad, and when he's bad, he's bad.
  • Brutal Honesty: Can be quite blunt by moments. Justified, since he's a robot.
    Mini-Max: [reacting to one of Noodle Burger Boy's pathetic plans to save their friends] This is an entertaining waste of time!
  • Butt-Monkey: Despite being a fighter, his small size causes villains to toss him aside as if he was nothing on more than one occasion.
  • Canon Immigrant: Was a minor character that first appeared in the manga adaptation, that made it into Disney's canon as of the series.
  • Captain Obvious: A trait he shares in common with Baymax.
    Mini-Max: [pours water on Fred's cellphone to cool it down, only to have it explode] I should not have used water!
  • Character Catchphrase: "Mini-Maximum [insert line here]!!"
  • Cold Ham: During his temporary Face–Heel Turn. While more sinister and villainous, Mini-Max is still Mini-Max.
  • Cute Machines: Admit it, he's adorable, but in costume and out.
  • A Day in the Limelight: The plot of "Mini-Maximum Trouble" is about Mini-Max's accidental Face–Heel Turn.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Parodied in "Mini-Maximum Trouble". After being damaged by water, Fred keeps putting Mini-Max in jars of rice, which seems to have caused his Face–Heel Turn. After having kidnapped Fred, the latter wonders if there's a bag of rice around, which prompts Mini-Max to throw rice at Fred in revenge.
    Mini-Max: EMPTY CARBS CAN'T SAVE YOU NOW, FRED!
  • Drunk on Milk: As seen in "Muira-Horror!", Mini-Max has the same drunk behavior as Baymax when on low-battery.
  • Expy: He seems to be based on Scrappy-Doo, without the traits that makes Scrappy annoying. Even Scott Adsit once compares the similarities between Scrappy and Mini-Max.
  • Evil Is Hammy: He maintains his hammy personality when he becomes evil in "Mini-Maximum Trouble", complete with an Evil Laugh. Fortunately, it doesn't last.
  • Evil Makeover: In "Mini-Maximum Trouble", when temporarily a bad guy, Mini-Max trades his blue armor for a black one, completed with red highlights.
  • Face–Heel Turn: Twice, though Status Quo Is God.
    • In "Mini-Maximum Trouble", he "laughs in the face of justice" because water messed up his personality chip. He organizes a series of "accidents" for Fred, kidnaps him, and nearly kills the whole team. Luckily, Fred subdues him, and Hiro fixes him in the end of the episode.
    • In "De-Based", Basemax (who thinks she is "the Queen of Spamibia") corrupts Baymax, who then corrupts Mini-Max, as her "loyal servants".
  • Flight: Just like Baymax, Mini-Max's armor allows him to fly.
  • Foil: Whereas Baymax is quiet and built to help heal people, Mini-Max is bombastic and built to prevent as much property damage as Fred could cause.
  • Fun Size: A "mini" version of Baymax, though he has a much different personality.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: The premise of "Mini-Maximum Trouble". Justified since his Face–Heel Turn was not voluntary and only happened because of damage caused by water. After being fixed by Hiro, he goes back to his usual self in the end.
  • Hyper-Competent Sidekick: It's made blatantly obvious that Mini-Max is nowhere near as destructive as Fred. Justified as Hiro created Mini-Max as damage control because Fred keeps causing property damage.
  • Kid-Appeal Character: Mini-Max is a smaller version of Baymax, and his comedic Large Ham personality and vow to protect the city from foes definitely makes him endearing to audiences.
  • Large Ham: Hiro seemed to specially design Mini-Max to be just as crazy and eccentric as Fred.
  • Laughably Evil: During his brief stint as a villain in "Mini-Maximum Trouble", he is as evil as he is hilarious.
  • Light Is Good: Just like Baymax, Mini-Max is all white and an ally.
  • Mad Libs Catchphrase: "MINI-MAXIMUM [BLANK]!"
  • Monster of the Week: He accidentally becomes the antagonist of "Mini-Maximum Trouble" after being damaged by water. Luckily, Hiro has him fixed and now makes Mini-Max waterproof so it doesn't happen again.
  • Morality Dial: In "Mini-Maximum Trouble", it's revealed that if damaged by water, Mini-Max's personality chip can change from good to evil.
  • No Indoor Voice: Due to his Large Ham personality, he is constantly shouting. And if you think he can't scream louder, he can.
  • No Mouth: Just like Baymax.
  • No Water Proofing In The Future: He gets easily damaged by water, despite the franchise happening in 2032. Parodied in "Mini-Maximum Trouble" when water messes up his personality chip, and he turns evil as a result. After Fred subdues him, Hiro fixes him and now makes him waterproof.
  • One-Man Army: When temporarily turned bad, the team struggles to catch up and get easily subdued by Mini-Max.
  • Perpetual Frowner: When turned evil, his eyes are stuck in half-blink, giving him a more sinister appearance.
  • Pint-Size Powerhouse: Mini-Max is far stronger than his small appearance would suggest. Justified as Hiro based his design off of Baymax who is stated to be able to lift 1,000 pounds.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: Invoked by Fred.
  • The Pollyanna: Played for Laughs. Mini-Max is always excessively cheerful, even as he tells Fred that he have blown his mind (literally).
  • Promotion to Opening Titles: Season 2 adds him to a few shots in the opening.
  • Robot Buddy: Fred's own personal one.
  • Sidekick: Acts as one for Fred... Sort of. He's actually more there to keep Fred out of trouble.
  • Status Quo Is God: He commits a Face–Heel Turn after his personality chip gets damaged, but once stopped and fixed by Hiro, Mini-Max becomes good again.
  • Stronger Than They Look: He's shown to be able to lift heavy weights. It's implied that he can lift 1,000 pounds just like Baymax.
  • Running Gag: Villains tossing Mini-Max against a nearby wall after Mini-Max vows to stop them.
  • The Sixth Ranger: The seventh ranger to Big Hero 6.
  • Theme Naming: Has "Max" as part of his name, like Baymax and Skymax.
  • Visual Pun: In "Supersonic Sue":
    Mini-Max: [to Fred] You have blown my mind! [Mini-Max's head catches fire]
  • Weak, but Skilled: While he's a Pintsize Powerhouse, Mini-Max's short stature can be problematic as he is often tossed aside easily and down for the count afterwards.

    Skymaxes 

Skymaxes

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sky_max.png

Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker
Appearances: The Series (debut: "Mr. Sparkles Loses His Sparkles")

Six remote-controlled robots created by Hiro to deliver the team's suit.


  • Abnormal Limb Rotation Range: Their "head" (which is only their eye) can turn 180°. Justified, since they're robots.
  • Ambiguous Gender: Since they are mute and don't have specified pronouns that describe them, it's unclear whether or not Hiro programmed them with "genders", like how Baymax and Mini-Max are male and Basemax is female.
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Not only are the Skymaxes the same color as their member's color motif, they also have a symbol for each team member:
    • Hiro: Purple with a microbot symbol.
    • Baymax: Red with his own face as a symbol.
    • GoGo: Yellow with a mag-lev disc symbol.
    • Honey Lemon: Pink with a chem-ball symbol.
    • Wasabi: Green with a plasma blade symbol.
    • Fred: Blue with a monster eye symbol.
  • Cute Machines: Their appearances along with the high-pitched beeping sounds they do are just adorable.
  • Cyber Cyclops: They have only one eye and are robots on the heroes' side.
  • Face–Heel Turn: In "De-Based", after Basemax (the A.I. of the entire HQ) gets tampered by a virus, which makes her corrupt the other robots as well.
  • Flight: They can fly with rockets and get to the team's location to hand them their gear with the press of a button. The original Skymax used his rockets to save Mochi from getting blasted into space.
  • Silent Snarker: The Skymaxes are able to be offended, as one seems irritated when Hiro said he missed Baymax while riding one to get his energy amplifier. The original Skymax also shook his head frantically when Fred asked if he came with a washing machine device.
  • Single-Task Robot: They can only deliver the team's suit when ordered to via cellphone (though the original Skymax was also used to rescued Mochi from Mr. Sparkles). However, in "Countdown To Catastrophe", Hiro uses his Skymax to get to the highlight and deactivate his energy amplifier.
  • Theme Naming: Has "Max" as part of his name, like Baymax and Mini-Max.
  • Tin-Can Robot: While Baymax and Mini-Max are made out of white vinyl, the original Skymax that rescues Mochi is metallic. It gets downplayed when the proper Skymaxes get added with the team's colors.
  • The Unintelligible: Contrary to Baymax and Mini-Max, they don't speak, they can only do beeping sounds.

    Basemax 

Basemax

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/basemax.png
Voiced by: Zehra Fazal
Appearances: The Series (debut: "Hardlight")

The virtual assistant of Big Hero 6's new base.


  • Artificial Intelligence: She's a virtual assistant that activates the secret lair through voice recognition.
  • Benevolent A.I.: The artificial intelligence system of Big Hero 6's new base who greets the team when they enter their lair.
  • Blue Is Heroic: The hexagons next to her "face" are different tones of light blue.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: After Fred makes her open a spam email, the virus messes up Basemax's core and causes her to think she's a queen of a kingdom called Spamibia and becomes violent and cruel, hacking other robots under her services.
  • Computer Voice: She is a computer intelligence, after all.
  • The Corrupter: After she herself gets corrupted by the spam virus in "De-Based", Basemax also has the ability to turn other robots such as the Skymaxes and the Simmax training robots against Big Hero 6.
  • Distaff Counterpart: She doesn't have a physical body, but her appearance on the screen is Baymax's face, even if Basemax's voice is female. However, it gets problematic because they both respond to the same protocols.
  • Enemy Scan: Just like Baymax, although hers covers a larger territory (while Baymax needs his enhanced scanner in his helmet to have that ability).
  • Everything Sensor: One of her main functions is to cover just as much ground as Baymax on a larger scale.
  • Expy: Basemax is basically the F.R.I.D.A.Y of Big Hero 6.
  • Face–Heel Turn: In "De-Based", after a virus corrupts her, and she brings the entire HQ's robots against Big Hero 6.
  • Fembot: A female artificial intelligence, though she lacks the physical body.
  • God Save Us from the Queen!: When she gets corrupted by an internet virus, Basemax calls herself "the Queen of Spamibia".
  • Green and Mean: As "the Queen of Spamibia", her entire settings in the Big Hero 6 base as well as the other robots she corrupts turn green.
  • Just a Stupid Accent: Justified and played for laughs. When she gets corrupted by the spamibia virus, she gains a Victorian London accent and thinks of herself as a mighty powerful queen.
  • Large Ham: Averted, but very much played straight as "the Queen of Spamibia".
  • Light Is Good: The hexagonal screens in which she's projected on are white and light shades of blue.
  • Running Gag: Talking at the same time as Baymax.
  • Scarily Competent Tracker: In the same vein as Baymax's, thanks to Roddy's skills.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The only female invention of Big Hero 6 that ends with "Max" (though it's unclear if the Skymaxes have "genders" to begin with).
  • Theme Naming: The fourth robotic ally whose name ends with "Max".
  • Tomboyish Name: Sort of. Her name ends with "Max".
  • TV Head Robot: Her "face" is Baymax's titular connected eyes in blue color on a large computer screen in Big Hero 6's headquarters.

    Megabot 

Megabot

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/happy_face_megabot.jpg
Happy face
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/battle_face_megabot.jpg
Battle face

Appearances: Big Hero 6 | The Series

Hiro's bot that he uses in the botfight competitions.


  • Badass Adorable: A cute robot invented by Hiro that can dissemble robots almost ten times its size.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: Exploited by Hiro. He made Megabot look silly and weak on purpose to hide how much of a skilled fighting machine it actually is.
  • The Bus Came Back: In the series, Megabot is seen either on Hiro's bedroom desk or in his locker. Since Hiro started to botfight again in "The Botfighter" (part of being undercover), Megabot returns officially as part of the main plot.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Briefly by Trina, but subverted once Hiro was able to hack control back of Megabot and use it to defeat Trina's robot.
  • The Cameo: Before having another prominent role in "The Bot-Fighter", Megabot appears on Hiro's desk in his room and in his locker.
  • Chekhov's Gun:
    • His design inspires Hiro to create the microbots, which go on to inspire the design for the nanobots used to cure the real Liv Amara.
    • One of his magnets falling on Hiro's foot is what sets Baymax to activate and the movie's intrigue to start.
  • Cute Machines: Even with his battle face, he's adorable.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: He's mostly black, but he's a good robot due to being controlled by Hiro.
  • Detachment Combat: He can detach and reattach himself and can destroy his opponents similarly to a boa constrictor by tightening himself around them.
  • Eye Beams: In "The Bot-Fighter", Hiro upgrades Megabot with laser eyes that only work with the "battle face".
  • Fragile Speedster: He's rather small and easy to hit, but you gotta catch him first because he's really fast. For reference, he was able to catch up to Tadashi's motor scooter after the latter had some time to accelerate.
  • Ironic Name: "Mega" means "huge", while Megabot is small in size. Subverted in that each of his pieces is larger than an individual piece of the microbots and nanobots.
  • Jekyll & Hyde: Played for Laughs; Megabot has a happy face, and once fighting starts, his face rotates to a "battle" face, which gives a devious grin.
  • Magnetism Manipulation: Megabot is principally made out of magnets, in which he can easily assemble and dissemble himself.
  • Perpetual Smiler: He either has a happy smile or a devious grin. Justified, since the facial expressions are painted on his face.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He intentionally looks small and pathetic in comparison to the large, intimidating battle bots of the San Fransokyo gambling rings, but dismantles Mr. Yama's larger bot with ease.
  • Pre Ass Kicking One Liner:
    Hiro: Megabot... destroy!
  • Red Is Heroic: Even if the red face is during the part where he attacks, Megabot is controlled by Hiro Hamada.
  • Remote Body: To Hiro.
  • Simple, yet Awesome: Megabot consists of three detachable magnets with one joint each, which is a simple-looking design compared to other robots. However, his detachability makes it hard for other robots to deal lasting damage to him, since he can reassemble himself. His detachability also allows him to move his segments onto an opponent's body, and most robots aren't flexible enough to tear his segments off.
  • Spectacular Spinning: He can rotate his limbs to give him further speed.
  • Three-Point Landing: Picture above as Megabot defeats Little Yama.

    Kentucky Kaiju 

Kentucky Kaiju

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kentuckykaiju.png

Appearances: The Series (debut: "Kentucky Kaiju")

A fictional monster from an eponymous film series that Fred orders an accurate-sized robot of.


  • Alliterative Name: Kentucky Kaiju.
  • Ambiguous Gender: While the mecha in the series is a robot thus has no gender, the movie Fred watches reveals that since it has an offspring, the Kentucky Kaiju character may actually be female.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: In the episode titled like his name, Kentucky Kaiju is a Mecha taller than a building ordered by Fred. After Noodle Burger Boy uses Obake's technology to hack it, it goes on a rampage across the city, destroying things and terrorizing the citizens.
  • Babies Ever After: In the final movie of the franchise, the Kentucky Kaiju is seen with a baby kaiju in its hands. It makes Fred shed a tear.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: The mecha gets hijacked and piloted by Noodle Burger Boy with Obake's help.
  • Cute Monster: Its chibi form, anyway.
  • Expy: Seems to be one of Godzilla, being an enormous green lizard monster that terrorizes citizens.
  • Extra Eyes: Has three yellow eyes, where the controls of the mecha finds themselves at. They turn red when hacked by Obake's chip.
  • Fire-Breathing Weapon: A mecha that can breathe fire.
  • Green and Mean: Only when hijacked by Obake, otherwise averted.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Justified that being a Mecha, the Kentucky Kaiju is good or bad depending on who pilots it. Its first appearance makes it a villain due to being hacked by Obake, while in the Season 1 finale, a new mecha of Kentucky Kaiju is used by Fred and Hiro.
  • Humongous Mecha: Fred orders an accurate-sized robot of the eponymous monster. Unfortunately, in the wrong hands, it can become quite destructive.
    • In "Countdown To Catastrophe", Hiro and Fred use a new Kentucky Kaiju mecha in order to defeat Obake's plan by using Hiro's energy amplifier along with the Kaiju's to cancel the star's energy.
  • Kaiju: It's in its name, after all.
  • Mix-and-Match Critters: The character looks like a mix between a lizard and a dinosaur, completed with two giant pincers.
  • Monster Is a Mommy: In the last movie of the franchise, that is.
  • Mythology Gag: Fred orders a giant pilotable robot of the Kentucky Kaiju to pilot it around the city. In the original "Big Hero 6" comics, Fred could actually turn into a Kaiju.
  • Power Pincers: Has two giant pincers which can be used to destroy things.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: After it gets hijacked by Obake and Noodle Burger Boy, Kentucky Kaiju's eyes turn red as Noodle Burger Boy controls it through the city to destroy everything.
  • Silent Snarker: In the "Big Chibi 6" short called "Snoring", the team uses the Kentucky Kaiju mecha to try and wake up Honey Lemon by having it break through the wall and roar. When Honey simply yawns and turns around in her bed, still sound asleep, the Kentucky Kaiju gives an annoyed glare that can be read as "seriously?"
  • Show Within a Show: More like "Film Within a Show". The Kentucky Kaiju movie franchise is pretty popular in San Fransokyo, similarly to an IRL franchise about a large lizard terrorizing a city.

    Mega-Max 

Mega-Max

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mega_max_1.jpg
Appearances: The Series (debut: "Legacies")

A giant mecha-robot built by Roddy in the "Legacies" finale.


  • Always a Bigger Fish: Trina almost won with her already gigantic Buddy Guardians... then Hiro has the idea of Mega-Max, a Humongous Mecha the size of a building who's the key in Trina's defeat.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Roddy and Mini-Max mount Mega-Max at the right moment in order to defeat Trina's robotic revolution.
  • The Bus Came Back: Despite Trina being defeated, Mega-Max returns in Season 3 in order to fight Baron Von Steamer (who stole 4 2 Sing's mecha dragon) and later in "De-Based" after he is brainwashed by the virus that took over Basemax.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Trina is already defeated the moment Mega-Max tosses her away like a rag doll on the other side of the city.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: It has the black highlights of Baymax's Ultra Armor, but is controlled by Roddy and Baymax and the most powerful tool on Big Hero 6's side.
  • Giant Equals Invincible: Due to being perhaps the same height as the Kentucky Kaiju mecha, Mega-Max goes through Trina and her army of Buddy Guardians like hot butter.
  • Humongous Mecha: A giant robot even taller than Kentucky Kaiju at Baymax's image with his Ultra Armor.
  • Meaningful Name: "Mega" means "huge". On another level, "Max" is short for "Maximus", which is latin for "the greatest, the biggest". So Mega-Max technically means "biggest big", fitting its nature as a gigantic robot mecha.
  • Motion-Capture Mecha: Mega-Max has a cockpit in its head and torso, which can be controlled by two pilots (in that case, Roddy and Mini-Max).
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Inverted. It's mainly red and black but is on the heroes' side (as it is controlled by Roddy and Mini-Max).
  • Red Is Heroic: Just like Baymax's Ultra Armor, Mega-Max has red highlights in its designs.
  • Ridiculously Fast Construction: A giant 50 foot robot got built in just a few hours by Roddy, Globby, Mini-Max, Baymax and Hiro, and still got there in time to save the day despite the 3 later needing to later save GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon and Fred from the police department after their arrest by Chief Cruz's hands.
  • Theme Naming: The fifth robot ally with its named ending by "Max".
  • Trojan Horse: A variant. Mega-Max was already defeating Trina's robots with ease, but then Hiro reveals to a still gloating Trina the true key to her defeat: a bunch of microbots holding multiple replicas of Tadashi's chip (the one that contains Baymax's programming), and inserting them in the Buddy Guardians' chip slots to turn them friendly like Baymax. The microbots are seen flowing out by hundreds out of Mega-Max's quarters.

The Frederickson family

    As a whole 
  • Ascended Extra: They were all one-scene characters (except for Mr. Frederickson who appears in The Stinger), Mrs. Frederickson only having an Early-Bird Cameo on a family painting. In the series, however, they have more characterization and even episodes dedicated to them!
  • Badass Family: Fred's family includes: an Action Dad, an Action Mom and even a Battle Butler! Mrs. Frederickson even lampshades she was getting worried Fred wouldn't follow the "family tradition" before Big Hero 6.
  • Dating Catwoman: Subverted. Mr. and Mrs. Frederickson were already married, when the latter created the Major Blast supervillain character... however, it was only to indirectly help her husband fight his biggest weakness, and she didn't put the costume back on until it was time to help their son.
  • Heroic Lineage: Lampshaded by Mrs. Frederickson.
  • Retired Badasses: Both the Frederickson parents are competent fighters, but would rather leave the work to the current heroes and enjoy their retirement.
  • Secret-Keeper: They are all aware of Fred and his friends being Big Hero 6, and all keep it secret, even giving them advice when they need to.

    Heathcliff 

Heathcliff

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heathcliff_63.png
"Welcome home, Master Frederick.
Voiced by: David Shaughnessy
Appearances: Big Hero 6 | The Series

A stoic butler who works for the Frederickson family, and a close friend of their son Fred. He is revealed to have been the most prized ally and right-hand man of Boss Awesome in his superhero days.


  • Action Hero: Comes with being a (former) spy. That umbrella-sword is not for show. And even after retiring and decades passing by, he hasn't lost his game in the slightest when he fights Cobra and her mech snakes.
  • All-Loving Hero: As stoic as Heathcliff is, he's a gentleman to everyone, even his enemies. Cobra calls him "the world's most polite hero" at some point. Speaking of which, Heatcliff actually pleaded Cobra to surrender, showcasing he doesn't want to retort to violence or anyone getting hurt in the end.
  • Almighty Janitor: Heathcliff is not just the Fredericksons' family butler. He is also a skilled racer, a Master of Disguise and the trusty right-hand man of former superhero Boss Awesome (Fred's dad) who has Seen It All.
  • Animal Motif: The mongoose. He gained the nickname as part of his one-to-one war with the villain Cobra. The animal totem of the mongoose has many symbolisms, the main ones being: defense, protection, and destroying evil. These all fit Heathcliff's character as the loyal family Battle Butler who looks out for Fred. Mongooses are also shown to be immune to cobras' venom, which is nodded at when Heathcliff makes himself a venom-proof tuxedo which protects him from Cobra's attacks (contrary to Fred who was always paralyzed during the whole episode).
  • Badass Driver: "The Fate of the Roommates" has him getting mixed up in a street race, leading to some very quick maneuvering a limousine of all things, including barely avoiding hitting a woman with a baby carriage and a truck in quick succession. Throughout the whole thing, he still keeps his stoic expression. Later in the episode he infiltrates one of said street races and manages to recover from being put in a spin, outmaneuvers the person who put him in that spin and causes him to drive off a bridge, and almost catches Mr. Sparkles when he hijacks the other remaining car, being stopped only by the fact that the latter had an egg- and bomb-dropping flying chicken robot at his disposal.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: A stoic butler always wearing a proper coat and vest. In "Cobra and Mongoose", he wears an armor that is resistant against the mechanical snakes' paralyzing venom, which is hidden through a white tuxedo.
  • Badass in Distress: He eventually gets outnumbered by Cobra's mech snakes, and on the verge of being killed before Fred and later Hiro come to his aid.
  • Battle Butler: Heathcliff is the Frederickson's loyal family butler, as well as a former spy, having baggage in martial arts and swordsmanship. He is also one hell of a badass driver.
  • Blue Is Heroic: His white tuxedo in "Cobra and Mongoose" includes a blue sash and bow.
  • But Now I Must Go: Attempted in "Cobra and Mongoose"; when Cobra manages to find him again and sends mechanical cobra to attack him (which instead harm Fred), Heathcliff decides to leave the Frederickson household to protect Fred and his family. Luckily subverted when Fred makes him realize that teamwork is the best solution to defeat Cobra. At the end of the episode, Heathcliff resumes his position as the family butler.
  • Clothing Combat: His cummerbund is a gadget that can be used to restrain opponents.
  • Code Name: He gained the alias "Mongoose" as a spy as he was the only one to find ways to defeat the villain named Cobra.
  • The Comically Serious: Despite always acting like a reserved, professional butler, he ends up participating in some odd and mundane situations, such as giving Fred (and Baymax) a fist bump, serving as the team's Training Dummy, and eating a pastry while having the tech tested on him.
  • Cool Sword: He's got one hidden in an umbrella!
  • Dark Is Not Evil: He's always wearing black as part of his butler suit and tie, but he's definitely on the good guys' side. Cobra even calls him "the world's most polite hero".
  • A Day in the Limelight:
    • Has a very prominent role in "The Fate of the Roommates", where he is key to discovering who is behind the illegal street racing.
    • "Cobra and Mongoose" explores more his past as a former spy, explaining his story with the Villain of the Week Cobra and how he met Fred's father.
  • Deep Cover Agent: During Boss Awesome's superhero days, he seemed like a devoted, polite butler on the outside. However, he was actually a spy working for the latter, and master actor AND of disguise.
  • Double Agent: He's an ex-spy and the sidekick of Mr. Frederickon/Boss Awesome himself, who sent him undercover in the bad guys' lairs in order to give him key information. It worked like a charm everytime.
  • Expy: Of Alfred, being a loyal family Battle Butler with a former secret agent baggage. They even look similar in appearance.
  • Gentleman Snarker: He has a sarcastic side, but he's so damn sophistical and well-mannered since he is a butler that he can't help but sound polite when he dishes out snark.
  • Hero of Another Story: He was a spy decades ago, having an Arch-Nemesis of his own called Cobra and defeated many of her schemes, even teaming up with Fred's father (hence how he got a job as the family butler AND became his right-hand man).
  • High-Class Glass: Wears one as part of his costume when he infiltrates Mr. Sparkles and Yama's race.
  • Hired Help as Family: He is the butler of the Frederickson household, but he has been around since as long as Fred can remember, and he considers Heathcliff his best friend and a member of his family.
  • Honorary Uncle: He may be the butler, but he's definitely part of the family and he has a very close bond with Fred. Due to Mr. Frederickson being away a lot in Fred's childhood, he was surely the one father figure Fred had around during those times. When Heathclilff attempts to leave the Frederickson family to protect them from Cobra, Fred is shown to be very affected by it, saying that Heathcliff is more than just their butler.
  • Ironic Echo: When Heathcliff goes undercover in Mr. Sparkles' underground racing league in "The Fate of The Roommates", an arrogant opponent underestimates him and mocks his butler appearance before asking Heathclif to "fetch him an iced tea". When the same opponent tries to get rid of Heathcliff, only to be eliminated instead, Heathcliff asks him to "fetch him an ice tea".
  • The Jeeves: A classic example of the stone-faced, well-mannered, devoted butler.
  • Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: His motto. Unfortunately for him, Cobra likes to cut corners.
  • Light Is Good: In "Cobra and Mongoose", he changes his black butler uniform for a white tuxedo, which is venom-proof against Cobra's attacks.
  • Like a Son to Me: Heathcliff and Fred are really close, and Heathcliff calls his time as the family butler "the best years of his life. Fred grealy looks up to Heathcliff, and calls him "so much more than their butler", showing that he considers Heathcliff a father figure and a member of his family.
  • Master Actor: Boss Awesome notes Heathcliff is an amazing actor which permitted him to go undercover for him and the bad guys always bought it.
  • Master of Disguise: Boss Awesome reveals that he used Heathcliff in undercover works back in his superhero days, and Heathcliff could always pull it off without having his cover be blown.
  • Mysterious Past: Not much is not about Heathcliff's past, other than the fact he graduated from a butler school and was selected by Mr. Frederickson to be his butler, and eventual right-hand man and undercover spy. "Cobra and Moongoose" reveals more of his espionage background, but it's unknown what was his life before to becoming a secret agent.
  • Nice Guy: Even if he's stoic, he's a polite, well-mannered butler.
  • Not So Above It All: While poised and stoic, there are moments where Heathcliff is... not as poised and stoic. Moments like when he's using the limousine's hot tub, being excited over snow cones or insulting an adversary racer.
  • Not So Stoic:
    • While normally reserved, he does crack tiny smiles at the team.
    • He's also a bit baffled (or amused) by Baymax's fist-bumping.
    • He is also easily ticklish.
    • He loves snow cones. A lot. "Fan-Friction" shows him getting a snow cone from Honey Lemon's iceberg.
    • Not even Heathcliff can hide his contempt for Binky.
  • Number Two: He was Mr. Frederickson/Boss Awesome's right-hand man, confident and trusty spy during his superhero days.
  • Older Than They Look: When he shows a picture of him in his youth, Hiro notes he looks exactly the same. Heathcliff reveals it's because he moisturizes his skin a lot, which made him look almost immortal for the past 30 years or so.
  • Papa Wolf: Due to looking out for him for years (probably since his birth), Heathcliff is very protective of Fred, as shown when the latter finds himself in the mid of his arch-nemesis Cobra's attacks.
  • Parasol of Pain: He goes through Cobra's army of snake bots without even flinching using an umbrella. Said umbrella also contains an actual sword!
  • Perpetual Frowner: Though his face is in constant deadpan mode, he does occasionally crack smiles.
  • Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: Discussed in "Cobra and Mongoose", when he recounters Cobra about to kick Boss Awesome in a volcano:
    Heathcliff: I said "No thank you, madam!" as I slid between them and blocked her with my umbrella. Cobra fell into the volcano instead.
  • The Mole: Was this to Boss Awesome back in his espionage days.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: Always wearing his butler tuxedo, even as he showcases his Battle Butler abilities. In "Cobra and Mongoose", she switches his black suit and tie for a white and blue one.
  • Secret-Keeper: Heathcliff knows Boss Awesome's and Big Hero 6's secret identities. Also, he knows who Major Blast really is.
  • Seen It All: Why he doesn't even flinch when the team uses him as a guinea pig during the testing of their suits in the movie: he was Boss Awesome's loyal right-hand man, he knows how super-heroics work and nothing surprises him.
  • Servile Snarker: Has his moments. Makes sense when you're working for a Cloud Cuckoo Lander like Fred (although it's not aimed at his master's expense).
    Heathcliff: [to an arrogant racer who previously mocked his butler appearance] Be a dear and fetch me an iced tea.
  • Shout-Out: To other valets like Jarvis and Alfred. Especially since Fred's dad is actually a superhero, so BH6's training is nothing unusual for him.
  • Snake Versus Mongoose: He's been called "Mongoose" back when he was a spy, in a reference to mongoose and cobras being natural enemies, and his own arch-enemy is called Cobra.
  • Status Quo Is God: He tries to leave the Fredericksons when his arch-enemy Cobra finds him again and puts Fred and his family in danger. Once Cobra is defeated and eventually arrested, he goes back at being the family butler.
  • The Stoic: He shows no reaction to Fred bringing his friends home while drenched, or serving as a practice Yokai for the team.
  • Throw Down the Bomblet: During his combat with Cobra, Heathcliff uses small bombs in the forms of blue cufflinks on his tuxedo to destroy her robotic snakes.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Heathcliff gets a well-deserved break in the family limousine's jacuzzi. Fred doesn't dare to interrupt his moment.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: The series reveals he really loves snow cones.
  • Training Dummy: He helps the team practice by letting them attack him, although they hold back their attacks to ensure he doesn't get hurt.
  • Uncle Pennybags: Trope invoked in "The Fate of the Roommates", as he goes undercover at Mr. Sparkles' race under the alias "Uncle Money Bags".
  • Undying Loyalty: To the Frederickson family and Big Hero 6.
  • Unfazed Everyman:
    • He had no problem serving as the team's training dummy or even seeing them become superheroes, since he was Boss Awesome's right-hand man back in his superhero days.
    • His reaction to an enormous wave about to fall on him is to open an umbrella with his deadpan look not leaving his face.
  • When He Smiles: Part of being Not So Stoic, as he occasionally cracks little smiles, though they never last long. He smiles a lot in "Cobra and Mongoose", especially when talking to Fred, whom he is shown to consider almost like his own son.

    Mr. Frederickson 

Boss Awesome (Frederick Frederickson III)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bighero6_stanlee2.jpg
Click here to see him in his superhero suit

Voiced by: Stan Lee
Appearances: Big Hero 6 | The Series

"A real hero helps everyone in need, even their worst enemies."

A retired superhero and Fred's father, who bears an intentional likeness to a certain comic book creator.


  • Action Dad: To Fred, if "Supersonic Sue" is anything to go by.
  • All-Loving Hero: He vows to help everyone in need, even his enemies.
  • Ascended Extra: We see more of him in the series, including his superhero past.
  • Awesome Mc Cool Name: His superhero alias is "Boss Awesome".
  • Badass in Distress: Discussed and exploited. Mr. Frederickson tells the team that back in his superhero days, he let Baron Von Steamer capture him so he could hear his evil plan and defeat him easily. And it worked each time.
  • Batman Gambit: He always let Steamer capture him because he knew he'd gloat his evil plan, thus he'd easily escape and stop him in time.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Comes just in time to help the team against his old foes in "Supersonic Sue".
  • Blue Is Heroic: His superhero suit is mostly blue, with red and yellow highlights.
  • Bookcase Passage: The way into the secret room with his gear is by pushing a painting of the family, causing the wall behind it to open.
  • Boots of Toughness: For extra awesomeness, Mr. Frederickson fights Supersonic Sue and Baron Von Steamer wearing cowboy boots.
  • Bring It: Does this gesture during his showdown against Steamer and Supersonic Sue to goad them into fighting him.
  • Calling Your Attacks: Downplayed. Boss Awesome doesn't scream the name of his attacks as he does them, but he does have some signature moves.
    Boss Awesome: [fighting Baron Von Steamer] I call this one [move] "The Blender".
  • The Cape: He is the archetypal superhero in a classical suit (albeit lacking an actual cape), a wise and caring man who believes that a real hero helps everyone in need - even his enemies.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Classic!"
  • Cool Old Guy: Even though he's only Fred's father he looks about as old as Stan Lee, if a little more color in his hair, but he casually wrestles bulls. In "Supersonic Sue", he briefly comes out of retirement and defeats the duo of his old arch-enemies.
  • Cool Shades: Wears Stan Lee's iconic dark specs. His superhero suit also has opaque yellow ones.
  • Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Downplayed. Fred mentions that he rarely sees his father because he is away on their vacation island for long periods of time. Likely, he's off superheroing during these times, but that doesn't mean Fred doesn't miss him. Despite that, Mr. Frederickson clearly loves his son and Fred can always video-call him when he needs to.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: His "Boss Awesome" suit is mostly black, and he's a superhero.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Even as the Ascended Extra in The Series, he is the Hero of Another Story most of the time. In "Supersonic Sue", however, we get to see him actually fighting as he saves Big Hero 6 from his old arch-enemies. The episode is dedicated to the memory of Stan Lee.
  • Expy: His superhero suit looks like a mix of both Superman's and Batman's, two classic superheroes in popular culture.
  • Genre Savvy: Justified. Being a superhero for decades, he knows villains' mindsets and all their tactics.
  • Good Parents: Despite travelling a lot, he clearly loves his son and is always there to give him advice about superhero business.
  • Happily Married: Seems to have a loving marriage with Mrs. Frederickson, as the two of them often leave in vacation together.
  • Hero of Another Story: He was a superhero back in the 70's and now travels the world wrestling yetis and bulls.
  • Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Is the most moral character of the entire franchise (save perhaps Tadashi and Honey Lemon), strongly believing that anyone is worthy of being helped, even your enemies.
  • I Owe You My Life: "Cobra and Mongoose" reveals that Heathcliff and Boss Awesome teamed up to stop Cobra from making all the volcanoes of the world explode at once. When she was about to push Boss Awesome in the volcano, Heathcliff protected him and instead Cobra fell in. From that day on forward, Boss Awesome welcomed Heathcliff as a butler and a member of his own family to thank him for saving his life.
  • Ink-Suit Actor: He is clearly modeled after Stan Lee, his voice actor.
  • I Was Quite a Looker: Doesn't mention his past appearance in his superhero days, but footage and pictures of said time period has him having a Heroic Build and his mustache was naturally brown.
  • Lantern Jaw of Justice: He has a square chin, befitting a classic superhero.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: Throws his cowboy hat with a smile before getting into a fight with his old enemies.
  • Like Father, Like Son: Secretly a superhero. And they wear their underwear the same way.
  • May–December Romance: Implied. Fred's mother looks far younger than her husband. Either she's younger than him or simply looks younger than he does.
  • Mysterious Parent: Mentioned in passing during the events of the film and revealed in the post-credits scene.
  • Never Mess With Grandpa: Boss Awesome maybe isn't as young as he used to be, but he can still kick his arch-nemesises' asses like the good old days in order to save his son and his friends from them.
  • Nice Guy: A sympathetic, wise man that gives good advice and cracks jokes.
  • The Obi-Wan: He becomes somewhat of a mentor to Big Hero 6, as they take up his role as protectors of San Fransokyo.
  • Old Superhero: Was a superhero back in the 70's, and comes out of retirement briefly in "Supersonic Sue" to rescue the team from his old arch-enemies.
  • Off Hand Back Hand: A staple of his fighting style, at least with the way he usually appears in The Series: the main characters call him, and as he gives them advice, he fights yetis and bulls hardly even looking at them.
  • Papa Wolf: Comes in right on time to save his son and his friends from his old arch-enemies.
  • Primary-Color Champion: His superhero suit is red, blue and yellow. Classic.
  • Put on a Bus: Doesn't appear in Season 3 due to Stan Lee's passing during production. Mr. Frederickson still has cameos via pictures.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Though annoyed at his son not keeping the secret, he is still happy to let Fred and his friends use his hidden superhero lair for their crime fighting.
  • Red Is Heroic: Wears red in his superhero suit.
  • Retired Badass: Although long retired from superhero business, he hasn't lost his game when he saves Big Hero 6 from Baron Von Steamer and Supersonic Sue and is still as athletic as he was back in the day.
  • Uncle Pennybags: Fred's rich, but kind and fun-personified father who gives helpful advice to his successors Big Hero 6.
  • Underwear of Power: A part of his supersuit resembles blue underwear.
  • Unknown Rival: Possibly. It's unknown whether or not Mr. Frederickson is aware of Chief Cruz's vendetta against him for not rescuing his father in time from one of his enemies.
  • Unnamed Parent: Credited only as "Fred's Dad." In the TV series his superhero name is "Boss Awesome", and since his son is called "Frederick Frederickson the 4th", it implies that his name might be "Frederick Frederickson the 3rd".
  • Vague Age: He was a young adult in the 70's (as it was his glory days as a superhero), but his age is not stated in the present day (which is in 2032).
  • Wall Jump: His move "The Blender" consists of taking a boost on the wall and jump forward at your opponent.
  • When Elders Attack: He's retired, alright. But mess with his son and his friends? He'll show you his retirement only made him stronger.

Major Blast

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/major_blast_3.png
"You are not yet a worthy opponent."

Mrs. Frederickson's "supervillain" alias. She created it to make it so her husband, and later her son, would become stronger and turn their weaknesses into their strengths.


  • Action Mom: The competent fighter Major Blast is revealed to be Fred's mother under that suit.
  • Archnemesis Mom: Major Blast is actually Fred's mother. Subverted as Major Blast is not a supervillain per-say, it was only an alter-ego Mrs. Frederickson created in order to help her husband Boss Awesome, and later Fred.
  • Arm Cannon: What allows her to shoot her laser blasts.
  • Beehive Barrier: Her armor allows her to be surrounded by square-shaped walls to protect her.
  • Cool Shades: Not only are they stylish, they also prevent Fred's bright lights to blind her.
  • Dating Catwoman: Boss Awesome's wife became a supervillain Major Blast... to get him to overcome his weaknesses and make him stronger.
  • Dark Action Girl: Major Blast proves herself to be a capable and difficult opponent to Fred. Subverted as technically, Major Blast doesn't exist and the one behind the mask, his mother, morally counts as an Action Girl.
  • Energy Weapon: Has an arm cannon that blasts lasers, hence the name.
  • Friendly Scheming: The only reason Major Blast exists is because Mrs. Frederickson wanted her husband and her son to overcome their greatest weaknesses and become undefeatable opponents to the real supervillains out there. Yet, Mrs. Frederickson needed her identity to be kept a secret for that.
  • Green and Mean: Major Blast's armor is made out of green and her laser blasts are green-colored. Though subverted as she's not technically a villain.
  • Jet Pack: Has one attached to her armor in order to fly.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: Parodied.
    Major Blast: Frederick, I am your mother.
    Fred: ... What?
  • Powered Armor: Her armor allows her to fly and shoot laser beams.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Her armor has purple parts.
  • The Reveal: Yup. It's actually Fred's mother.
  • Samus Is a Girl: Is believed to be male due to the deep modified voice until Mrs. Frederickson reveals her identity.
  • Secret Identity Vocal Shift: Major Blast has a device that modifies her voice into a low pitch, in order to keep her identity a secret.
  • Stealth Mentor: Mrs. Frederickson created a supervillain alter-ego to fight her husband and, later, her son to get them to overcome their weaknesses.
  • Villain of the Week: She reappears after years of hiding (after helping Boss Awesome face his greatness weakness) in order to indirectly help Fred too by confronting him multiple times in her debut episode. Considering Fred's mother is morally good and created this villain alias for wholesome reasons, the supervillain alias is gone for good.

Little Hero 6

    General 
  • Back for the Finale: Each member is the focus of an episode of Baymax! up to the final episode where they return and band together to find Baymax.
  • Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Each of them are completely different. The one big thing they have in common is that Baymax helped them.
  • Unwanted Rescue: None of them were willing to accept help from Baymax. However, his determination eventually causes them to relent, and they become ever grateful for it.

    Kiko 
An old lady with a back problem.
  • Cool Old Lady: After Baymax helps her out, she becomes quite athletic.
  • Gallows Humor: She's rather snarky about her own cronic pains.
    Baymax: On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your pain?
    Kiko: I love all my pains equally.
  • Grumpy Old Woman: She's very angry and refuses to go into the community pool next down because it gives her painful memories of her late husband who always encouraged her to swim but she just couldn't.
  • Lock-and-Load Montage: Fed up with Baymax's escilating water exposure therapy, Kiko arms herself with tools to pop him.
  • Stout Strength: Her physical therapy proves to be working for her despite her diminutive height when she effortlessly lifts a deactivated Baymax's body.
    Kiko: Been hitting the pool. I'm all muscle.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She has a fear of the community pool to which Baymax assumed that she's hydrophobic. She clears things up by stating it's not water she's afraid of, but the pool itself due to it being a place her late husband swam in.

    Cass 
Hiro's aunt who ends up spraining her ankle while running the cafe. Tropes for her can be found under Family & Friends.

    Sofia 
A middle school student who starts experiencing her first period.
  • First Period Panic: The moment she starts experiencing her first period, she feels she is unable to leave the bathroom as she isn't ready to accept that she is now having periods.
  • Growing Up Sucks: Her main reason for hating having her first period is because she fears it signals the end of her childhood, and that everybody will start treating her differently now, while she is not done being a kid yet.
  • No Periods, Period: Averted. Her whole episode is about her experiencing her first period.
  • Pubescent Braces: She's a twelve-year-old who wears braces.

    Mbita 
A food truck chef who develops an allergy to fish.
  • Afraid of Needles: Mbita flees when Baymax offers to inject him with something to help alleviate his allergy symptoms, though it's understandable that Mbita wouldn't exactly trust the strange balloon robot with a needle coming out of his finger. He relents when Baymax saves both him and his van from a crash.
  • Ironic Allergy: He is a fish soup salesman, but then develops an allergy to fish. He naturally panics at the thought of suddenly losing his livelihood and his connection to his parents.
  • Supreme Chef: He's received nothing but praise for his cooking. When he finally expands his menu since developing his allergy, he's met with even more success and compliments.
  • Twofer Token Minority: He's a gay African-American as the end of his episode has him ask an acquaintance of his, Yukito, on a date.

    Yachi 
A cat who swallowed an earbud.
  • Amplified Animal Aptitude: He is able to manipulate the volume setting on a phone, can recreate a mouse toy from random objects, and understands humans well enough to problem-solve based on their situation.
  • From Stray to Pet: He is a stray cat when we first see him, and while he's on the run from Baymax it becomes clear he longs for a home when he watches a woman playing with a kitten. At the end of episode six, it is strongly implied Kiko took him in.
  • Team Pet: He is a cat whom the group get to join them in their hunt for Baymax.
  • Ungrateful Bastard: Subverted. His focus episode ends with him leaving a battery drained Baymax in a soon-to-be demolished building, but the next episode has him help the others in finding and saving Baymax.

Other Allies

    Globby 

Globby ("Dibs")

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/globby.png
Click here to see his human self.

Voiced by: Andy Richter
Appearances: The Series (debut: "Big Roommates 2")

"And that's how you monster!"

An affable, but incompetent purse thief that steals Honey Lemon's chem purse and turns into an increasingly competent goo-based supervillain.

However, at the end of Season 1 he has a change of heart after witnessing the full scope of Obake's plan, and ultimately finds his callings as a hero instead - which lasts throughout the rest of the series, even after being framed and branded a criminal again, leaving him a fugitive.


  • 10-Minute Retirement: After Globby has difficulty finding work in "Nega-Globby", Honey Lemon and Karmi work together to develop a substance that will remove the goo. After he turns back into human, Dibs is happy at first, but soon starts to miss having powers and later, needs to help his friends against Nega-Globby. So he steals Honey Lemon's chem purse again, transforms back into Globby, and swallows his Evil Counterpart, with Nega-Globby remaining dormant inside Globby.
  • Abusive Parents: Implied at the end of "Failure Mode":
    Globby: Potential, huh? I told Mom she was wrong about me!
  • Ambiguously Bi: He's into women, as seen when he tries to ask out a woman named Judy on a date in his first scene, but at the same time, there's his relationship with Felony Carl, who is the one person Globby made his Heel–Face Turn for. In "Countdown To Catastrophe", Globby refers him to Honey Lemon as "his whole list", which sounds a lot like a love confession. When Globby temporarily turned back to his human form and expressed sadness, Felony Carl comforted him and hugged him. And in "The Globby Within", Felony Carl and Globby live together, own a cat and Felony Carl calls Globby "my globs". If we didn't know any better, we'd say they're dating.
  • Animorphism: He can turn into any animal he wants, from bulls to even dinosaurs, but it's only in blob form.
  • Anti-Villain: As a villain, he is an affable, non-malicious dork looking for his purpose in life in all the wrong places. When he learns of Obake's plan to destroy the city, Globby realizes just how evil his employer is and promptly defects to the heroes' side.
  • Appropriated Appelation: Fred was the first to call him Globby, and it stuck. He's actually initially rather aggravated at the name, but goes on to use it anyway.
  • Auto Cannibalism: Once he mastered his shape shifting, one of the first things he does is turn his hand into a bar of chocolate, then ice cream. He even gives Hiro some later on.
  • Big Damn Heroes: In "Nega-Globby", he comes out of his 10-Minute Retirement and saves the heroes from the titular monster.
  • Birds of a Feather: After he pulls a Heel–Face Turn, he instantly befriends Honey Lemon. Both are excitable cloudcuckoolanders who are devoted to their friends and really love hugs.
  • Blatant Burglar: Before his transformation, Dibs wore a green coat and a black ski mask during his thefts.
  • Blob Monster: After his accident, he turns into an indestructible purple blob that can shapeshift into anything.
  • Body Horror: His transformation into Globby had his whole inner and outer body turn into glob. It means his bones, his organs, his muscles... they were destroyed in the process. And it wasn't painless for our poor Dibs.
  • Buffy Speak: "Quick! Use your thing to stop that thing!"
  • Building Swing: Often moves himself around swinging from one building to another like Spider-Man.
  • Butt-Monkey: He can't do his thief stuff right. Becomes even more so after transforming, and even taking a level in badass does not fully cure him from this.
  • Character Catchphrase: Whenever his poor coordination causes him to trip, splat, or otherwise harm himself, he'll usually utter the phrase "Darn it!"
  • Character Development: Season 2 shows that he actually has come around to liking his abilities, to the point he actually misses them upon being cured. He's also heavily implied to have finally left his criminal life behind.
  • Co-Dragons: He, along with Noodle Burger Boy, seem to be Obake's top subordinates, and have each acted as The Heavy in his plans to study Big Hero 6.
  • Create Your Own Villain: In "Big Roommates 2", Dibs, who just stole Honey Lemon's purse, discovers Alistair Krei's neurotransmitter headband. Afterwards, he gets covered by exploding purple chemical goo, and Fred calls him "Globby". While on top of a skyscraper, he threatens to throw Krei to the ground below, until Honey Lemon tells him he could use his unique powers to improve his lot in life and make a new start... which backfires when he decides to start a new life of crime as super-villain Globby.
  • Cuddle Bug: After he becomes a good guy, he envelopes his newfound friends in a hug every five seconds.
  • Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Played with; as Globby, he has the potential to make a new start by turning his life around and improving his chances... and he uses his neurotransmitter-enhanced abilities to take Krei's wallet, something which he wasn't too successful at as Dibs, being inspired to commit greater crimes as a supervillain.
    • Subverted in "Countdown to Catastrophe" part 3, when he makes his Heel–Face Turn and uses his powers for good to save San Fransokyo.
    • He can change parts of his body into any element or item, yet never thinks to create and profit off selling rare material.
  • Determinator: In "Failure Mode", despite being a terrible supervillain (or "sub-par villain" as Hiro says), he never stops trying to steal Lenore Shimamoto's "City Rising" painting. Once he learns how to control his powers, he actually succeeds in stealing it and defeating Big Hero 6.
  • Didn't Think This Through: When he ate Nega-Globby, he didn't know the latter will remain dormant inside him and eventually try to take control.
  • Dumb Blonde: He's a natural blond, and he's prone to a few ditzy moments. Gradually subverted as he undergoes Character Development.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Dibs makes a cameo appearance in "Baymax Returns" before his proper debut in the series.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: He hates the name Globby. Naturally, it's a Running Gag that the name spreads like wildfire after Fred coins it, until everyone in the city is using it.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Even as a supervillain, he cared a lot about his Only Friend Felony Carl. He's the reason Globby pulled his Heel–Face Turn.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He's an uncouth weasel and an unabashed thief, but he doesn't want to kill anybody. When he accidentally knocks Krei off a building in his first appearance, he springs into action to save him without even thinking. He ultimately has a Heel–Face Turn in the season 1 finale when he realizes how insane Obake really is.
  • Evil Counterpart: As a villain, Globby is this to Honey Lemon. They use the same method of attack (even coming from the same source), they both are excitable cloudcuckoolanders.
    • Globby could also count as an evil counterpart to Baymax when it comes to their role in their respective teams : Globby is the strongest of Obake's henchmen and he's also the one who carries his cohorts when they retreat, much like what Baymax sometimes does with the least mobile members of Big Hero 6.
  • Expy: His moth form is definitely inspired by Mothra from the Godzilla franchise, since Nega-Globby's gigantic form is a shout-out of his own to the titular Godzilla.
  • Fat and Skinny: The Skinny to Felony Carl's Fat.
  • Foot Popping: In "Legacies" when he reunites with Felony Carl and hugs him.
  • Forced Transformation: Was turned into a gelatinous purple blob. Though he was less horrified than most would be and more annoyed.
  • Freudian Excuse: A lot of his villainy seems to come from the fact nobody really took him seriously, with apparently even his mother telling him that he had no potential.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Goes from a Harmless Villain to a genuinely dangerous foe... Though he's still a huge Butt-Monkey.
  • Glowing Eyes: Has green glowing eyes. Justified since it's due to the neurotransmitter.
  • Harmless Villain: Was this for a while even when he transformed; it was only after being inspired by Honey Lemon that he starts to leave this trope.
  • The Heavy: The antagonist who ultimately goes up against Big Hero 6 the most throughout the season, and the one who carries out a majority of Obake's plans.
  • Heel–Face Turn: He turns against Obake in "Countdown to Catastrophe" upon learning of his plan to wipe out the city and helps Big Hero 6 save it by stretching his synthetic body out to act as a makeshift dam. It sticks in Season 2, having fully become a superhero even after becoming a fugitive.
  • Human Disguise: After becoming a fugitive, Globby shapeshifts into people in public to escape from the police.
  • Ignored Epiphany: After Globby saves Krei's life, Honey Lemon tells him You Are Better Than You Think You Are, and he decides to give up being a small-time purse snatcher, by deciding to put his new-found powers to use as a supervillain.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: In "Nega-Globby", the reformed Blob Monster has trouble finding a job, so he wants to become human again. Honey and Karmi grant his wish, and he is happy, until he starts to miss being special.
  • I Just Want to Be Special: In "Nega-Globby", he is initially happy to be normal again, but soon finds it boring, because his life as a mutant was exciting and he misses being a valued member of a supervillain team and, later, an ally of the heroes. Then, Nega-Globby shows up and threatens his city and friends, so he steals Honey's purse again and transforms back into Globby.
  • Imagination-Based Superpower: His goo takes any form and shape he wishes.
  • Iron Butt Monkey: Thanks to his gelatinous form that can take any shape and detach and reattach itself, the numerous Amusing Injuries Globby goes through never have full-term consequences on him.
  • Jerkass Ball: Probably his biggest jerk moment was telling Hiro he was useless without his friends. Though it was part of Obake's plan to test Hiro.
  • Keet: Even before his Heel–Face Turn, Globby is always excited and energetic about anything.
  • The Klutz: Before taking a level in badass, Globby has difficulty getting used to his new gelatinous form and is extremely clumsy in the result.
  • Light Is Good: His glob form is a light purple, and he makes a Heel–Face Turn later on.
  • Meaningful Name:
    • There's the obvious fact that he's made out of glob, hence being named "Globby".
    • His human name, "Dibs", means "a small amount of money". Dibs was your average purse-stealing thief before becoming the supervillain Globby.
  • Moth Menace: Subverted. His moth form is introduced once Globby is redeemed, and he uses it to defeat Nega-Globby in "The Globby Within".
  • New Job Episode: In "Nega-Globby", he tries to find a normal job. Too bad people are not eager to hire a Blob Monster, because he scares the customers and sheds his goo everywhere.
  • Nice Guy: Was not mean to begin with, and after a Heel–Face Turn and Character Development, he becomes a full-on nice guy by Season 2.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: He doesn't seem to be aware that the concept of personal space even exists, which annoys Momakase in "Countdown To Catastrophe".
    Momakase: Your breath smells like garbage.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Once he realizes how his shapeshifting powers work, he actually gives Big Hero 6 quite a hard time.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Other than his alias "Globby", his human name is "Dibs", which is most likely a nickname.
  • Painful Transformation: The chemicals of Honey's purse along with the neurotransmitter turn his whole body into glob, INCLUDING HIS BONES. Dibs' screams in his first transformation just shows it can't be pleasant. Globby even lampshades it when turns back into Globby for the second time:
    Dibs: Oh, I forgot how much this part hurt! [groans loudly in pain]
  • Pet the Dog: When he was a supervillain, he gave Hiro a chocolate bar before running off with the stolen painting.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: He develops a close bond with Honey Lemon.
  • Power Incontinence: Globby had no idea initially on how to use his powers, despite being told that being able to control his powers are as easy as thinking about how he wants to use it. However when he does figure out how to do use it properly...
  • Purple Is Powerful: As the first villain with genuine superpowers, and one with shapeshifting abilities, he has a bright purple body.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Ever since stealing Honey's chem-purse and Krei's neurotransmitter, Dibs has been permanently mutated into a pinkish-purple bloblike mutant with super powers.
  • Redemption Promotion: In "Countdown To Catastrophe", after deciding to stop Obake from destroying the city, he manages to easily defeat Momakase, and proves instrumental in stopping thousands of people from dying from the tidal wave caused by the mech to cancel out the explosion Obake is trying to create.
  • Secondary Color Nemesis: He has a pair of green eyes to match his purple body. Subverted when he pulls a Heel–Face Turn.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Obake plans to destroy the city, Globby helps Hiro break out of a holding cell and makes a Heel–Face Turn, stopping Momakase by pinning her against the wall with some of his slime.
  • Seventh Ranger: As of Season 2 and post-Heel–Face Turn, Globby becomes a strong ally to Big Hero 6.
  • Shadow Discretion Shot: His first transformation from Dibs to Globby is shown dramatically from a shadow on the wall. It's justified since the chemicals, turns his whole body flesh, muscles, bones included into glob.
  • Shapeshifter Default Form: He can shapeshift into people as of S2 (as he could impersonate Felony Carl perfectly), but his default form is his purple goo form.
  • Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: When Honey Lemon manages to turn him back into a human in "Nega-Globby", he's stark naked. It's probably implied that when he transformed into Globby, the goo literally destroyed his clothing when he turned his whole body into glob.
  • Shapeshifter Weapon: Sometimes, as he can turn his arms from sledgehammers to tennis rackets.
  • Story-Breaker Power: After learning how to use his abilities, he's consistently one of the most difficult opponents that Big Hero 6 faces, due to the incredibly versatile nature of his abilities that allows him to do almost anything. The fact that he switches sides at the end of Season 1 ends up significantly tipping the odds in the heroes' favor, managing to quickly defeat Momakase, and getting Hiro out of Obake's lair. Unfortunately, this works against him when he's pitted against Nega-Globby, who has the same powers but more mass.
  • Stupid Crooks: His Establishing Character Moment is him trying to steal a purse from an old lady asleep at the bus stop. And failing miserably.
  • Sweet Tooth: He loves chocolate, ice cream and caramel.
  • Took a Level in Badass: He learns how to better control his powers in "Failure Mode", then trounces Big Hero 6 in their rematch. He's since become one of their toughest opponents.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Chocolate. Once he discovers how to shapeshift, one of the various objects he creates is chocolate bars.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: He starts out with little experience in using his powers, but his varying chemical makeup makes it nigh-impossible to deal long-term damage to him. This gets downplayed when he learns how to apply his powers to transform into almost anything he can imagine.
  • Vile Villain, Laughable Lackey: The clumsy Laughable Lackey to Obake's creepy Vile Villain.
  • Villainous Rescue: Although he did kidnap Krei, he saves him from falling to his death when he accidentally causes him to fall of a skyscraper.
    Krei: This is a little awkward. Thanks, I guess...
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting:
    • His powers when fully utilized allow him to become anything he wants. Anything from iron to acid and even icecream with whipped cream.
    • He can also turn to any animal form he wants, from dinosaurs to bulls.
    • In "The Globby Within", after being branded a fugitive, Globby discovers he can actually transform into people, instead of just gelatinous beings.
  • Was Once a Man: Was your average purse thief before the chemicals from Honey Lemon's purse combined with Krei's neurotransmitter transformed him into the Blob Monster Globby.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: Globby mentions in "Failure Mode" that he tried to convince his mother that he had potential and wasn't a screwup.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: Gosh, the entire premise of "The Globby Within" is this trope. Globby had everything he wished to have: he was beloved by the city, became the face of Krei's newest product, and happily lived with Felony Carl and their cat. He states it's the first time he felt truly happy... and then Nega-Globby starts taking control of his body, destroying everything around him and branding Globby as a fugitive again. Thankfully, Chief Cruz exonerated him in the Season 2 finale.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are:
    • When Globby takes Alistair Krei up to the top of the skyscraper, Honey Lemon gives him the following speech:
      Honey Lemon: Listen Globby, I know things look bad now, but there's always a silver lining. You can make this work!
      Bluff Dunder [from his news copter]: The hero says there's a silver lining for the monster. Seems like a stretch... to this reporter.
      Globby: Oh, come on! Nobody believes in me! Why would you? You don't even know me!
      Honey Lemon: Before, you were just a common purse thief. Now, if you dedicate yourself to making the best out of the situation, you can truly be special.
      Globby: Hmm?
      Honey Lemon: No one else has your... abilities.
      Globby: You think?
      Honey Lemon: I know.
      Globby: You're right, this is a new beginning for me.
      Krei: This is very touching, but I want my prototype back!
    • The news camera buzzes by, and as Alistair Krei is falling to the ground after being distracted by the lights, Globby reaches down with his arms and saves Krei, later lampshaded by Honey Lemon and subverted when Globby decides to become a supervillain.
      Krei: This is a little awkward. Thanks... I guess.
      Globby: Thank her, she believed in me. My days of being a loser, small-time purse snatcher are behind me.
      Honey Lemon: That's right! You're better than that!
      Globby: I am! And that's why I'm going to be a supervillain!
    • Later in Part 3 of "Countdown to Catastrophe", Honey's words have a greater long-term effect when he makes a Heel–Face Turn and saves San Fransokyo from an artificial tsunami Obake created to destroy San Fransokyo and rebuild it according to his plans.

Rodderick "Roddy" Blair

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roddy_1.png
Voiced by: John DiMaggio
Appearances: The Series (debut: "Hardlight")

An architect that built Boss Awesome's lair and is hired to build Big Hero 6's lair.


  • Big Fun: He's bulky and a nice guy, but it's downplayed as his impatience towards Fred doesn't play this trope straight.
  • Brought to You by the Letter "S": He wears a cap with the first letter of his name on it.
  • Crazy-Prepared: He preregistred a video recording of him stating to the heroes he's working with he's been kidnapped, that automatically sends to them when he's in danger and has a tracker on him in order to be rescued by said heroes.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Mostly towards Fred's obnoxious cloudcuckoolander mindset. He even programmed snarky responses to the Simmax when the hero gets defeated by the programmed villains.
  • Distressed Dude: Supersonic Sue kidnaps him in "Fear Not" and blackmails him into building a new lair for her and her grandson Supersonic Stu, making it up to the team to rescue him.
  • The Engineer: He's an architect that specializes in building high-tech superhero lairs, and is called by Fred to build Big Hero 6's secret base.
  • Fiery Redhead: Averted. He's more dismissive than fiery.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: He builds superhero lairs, which includes a lot of electronic devices.
  • Game-Over Man: He programmed himself as this in the training simulator, even adding jabs just to twist the knife a little.
    Roddy: Oof, kid. I'm running out of ways to say... you're terrible.
  • Gentle Giant: Roddy is a tall and quite friendly guy (well, when he feels like it).
  • Grease Monkey: He's shown to have grease stains on his overalls. Part of being into construction of buildings and machines.
  • Hates Being Touched: He's not a hugger. He gives Fred exactly three seconds to stop his hug.
  • In-Series Nickname: He's known as "Roddy Blair, King of Lairs"; an engineer who specializes in building (superhero) lairs.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a bit insensitive towards Fred at times, but he's quite a nice guy, as he helps Hiro find a solution to defeat Hardlight and doesn't despises Fred himself.
  • Mentor Archetype: Of a sort. He seems to like Hiro, who he tells to play his own game and do what he's best at in order to defeat Hardlight. He also gives helpful advice to Fred when he's struggling with his attention deficit in "Major Blast".
  • Mysterious Past: Roddy mentions in "Fear Not" that he used to also build lairs for supervillains before he decided to stick with the heroes' side.
  • Old Friend: Of Boss Awesome; he's his lair builder and trusted ally.
  • Red Baron: He's branded the "King Of Lairs".
  • Rhyming Names: "Roddy Blair, King of Lairs".
  • Saying Too Much: Roddy accidentally reveals he put a secret panel behind Boss Awesome's computer before he realized his mistake and only laughed it off before leaving.
    Wasabi: Remind me to never tell Roddy my secrets.
  • Secret-Keeper: Not only is he one of the team's allies who knows their secret identities, he also knew the real identity of Major Blast all along (in other words, Fred's mom).
  • Secret Secret-Keeper: He knew Fred was in Big Hero 6 despite never having meeting him before "Hardlight". Justified; since he knew Boss Awesome personally, of course he knows Fred's real identity as a member of Big Hero 6.
  • This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: The team needs a new lair after the police brands them as criminals. Fortunately, Roddy specializes in superhero lair building (and he even built Fred's father's).
  • Vague Age: Roddy mentions that he's the one that built Boss Awesome's lairs when the latter was still active. Considering how old Fred's father is, Roddy must've been in his early 20's at best, but he doesn't look as old in the present day.
