The Cybersquad
Tropes applying to the entire Cybersquad
Matt
11-year-old
Farm Boy sucked into
Cyberspace and recruited to help Motherboard. Carries a handy red backpack with him at all times, is reasonably athletic, and loves solving mysteries. Also loves
Star Wars, the color green,
Redwall, and
Will Smith.
- Bag of Holding: He has a useful red backpack that he takes with him everywhere.
- Berserk Button: Slider showing him up.
- Determinator
- Farm Boy
- Fiery Redhead: While admittedly Matt doesn't really have much of a temper (unless you're Inez), he is slightly more hot-headed than either of the girls.
- Friendly Enemy: To Slider
- Friend to All Living Things: According to the website, he owns a bearded dragon, an armadillo, two African water frogs, and a dog named Obi Wan Kadoggie, although he doesn't always fit the "nice" part of the description.
- Genius Ditz: While admittedly Matt isn't your traditional ditz, he is a bit less level-headed than his teammates and more likely to make decisions without thinking all the way through. Despite these traits, there is one area where Matt really shines: Greek Mythology. In fact, whenever that's involved, Inez and Jackie just shut up and watch him lecture.
- Hidden Depths: Hates Valentine's Day, but made a card for Jackie and Inez all the same. It doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
- Idiot Hero: While he's still very bright, Matt has a tendency to make rash decisions and examine stuff that might have been the group's best interest to avoid.
- Red-Headed Hero
- Token White: Take a good look kiddies. This is one of the few times you'll ever see a white male character in one of the lead roles on PBS.
- With Friends Like These: To Slider and Inez.
Jackie
Jackie is an 11-year-old girl who enjoys hanging out with her friends, and is possibly the hardest Earthlie to pin down in terms of character traits. She can be a
little over-the-top with her emotions. She likes
yellow,
Destiny's Child,
Shrek, tofu burgers, and
Walk Two Moons by Sharon
Creech.
Inez
9-year-old girl who loves learning and books. Has a huge vocabulary and is always asking questions about the world around her. Likes purple, popcorn, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Marc Anthony.
Digit
Your friendly neighborhood "cyboid" and unofficial
Team Pet. He used to work for Hacker, but flew the coop upon realizing that Hacker wasn't exactly a great guy. A fan of the
Dixie Chicks and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach.
Villains
THE Hacker
Pompous, dastardly, and power-hungry—the
Big Bad of the series, until his in-series
Villain Decay. At the moment, he is currently attempting to
rescue his image. Like the color puce and
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. Showing
Hidden Depths, his favorite book is
The Prince by Machiavelli.
Buzz
One of Hacker's
henchmen and the smarter of the two. Likes blue-green, donuts, and
Home Alone. Aspires to open a donut shop one day, but every attempt has
been foiled so far.
Buzz's first voice actor, Len Carlson, died in 2006. He was replaced by Len Carlson. The episode "Ecohaven: CSE" is dedicated to Mr. Carlson.
Delete
Another one of Hacker's henchmen. His favorite colors are both rust and salmon. Likes
The Wizard of Oz and
Chicken Little.
Although
the website does not mention it, he really likes bunnies.
Wicked
Witch hailing from the cybersite of Happily Ever After. She's a
bit obsessed with Hacker, to the point where she even faked being a princess to get to marry him.
In the ending credits, she took Dr. Marbles' place a
few seasons in.
- Affably Evil: She's actually treated the Cybersquad decently on occasions. In the later seasons, she's more interested in trying to get with Hacker than taking over Cyberspace.
- Clingy Jealous Girl
- Conspicuous Consumption: After she helps Hacker take over Cyberspace, she immediately takes money and starts spending it willy-nilly, leading to an episode where the Cybersquad learns the benefits of managing your money efficiently and not wasting it on things you don't need.
- Evil Redhead
- Fiery Redhead
- Fluffy Fashion Feathers: When she was pretending to be the Princess of Pompadouria, she picked out this for her wedding dress.
- Hot Witch: She's not ugly like a traditional witch, and she's good-looking enough for Hacker to be attracted to her.
- Unholy Matrimony: With Hacker.
Ledge
New villain introduced towards the very end of season 8. He was a huge fan of The Hacker back in the day, and aspired to be just like him.
Recurring Characters
Motherboard
The benevolent ruler of Cyberspace. Unfortunately, she's also pretty useless thanks to Hacker's virus. Her role in the series is mostly to give the kids their next assignment.
Dr. Marbles
Motherboard's tireless mechanic and creater of
Hacker. Likes blue and
TRON. His favorite novel is
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance...just take a guess at his favorite hobby.
Slider
A friend of the Cybersquad. His dad was once a friend and coworker of Hacker's, but went into hiding. In one of the
StoryArcs, the Cybersquad helps him find his dad. He occasionally
helps out the Earthlies and is
popular with the fans.
Sam Vander Rom
Journalist seen around Cyberspace reporting on various doings. Quite the
Deadpan Snarker.
Erica Ram
An associate of Sam Vander Rom's. She is also a journalist.
Creech
The current ruler of the Cybersite Tikiville.
Fluff
Penguin who became one of the
True Companions of the Cybersquad in the later seasons.
