Main Characters

    Lee Ping 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-Lee_Ping123_7546.jpg

Voiced by: Johnathan Tan
Our hero. A normally level-headed and intelligent 15-year old, Lee considers himself just a normal guy with a normal school life... at least until his first day of 10th Grade, when he is framed as the mastermind behind the "Greatest School Prank in High School History" and is now forced to go to Detention for the rest of the year. With the help of friends both new and old, he makes it his goal to find out who the real mastermind is and get his life back on track.
  • The Ace: Played straight and subverted. Despite his supposed geeky rep before the series start, Lee gains instant popularity after getting detention. Also, he's a pretty good action hero for an Ordinary High-School Student, as he seems to be able to do anything; from being a star football player, to a top violinist, to a brilliant actor. This also counts as a subversion, in that while Lee is fairly intelligent and resourceful, he struggles through the more physical aspects of being an Action Hero (for example, the first time he swipes a skateboard to escape, he does have some trouble with his coordination). Not to mention his reputation as a legendary troublemaker was completely false.
    • It's also subverted a bit, since the skills that make him The Ace are really a result of the mark underneath his tattoo. It was given by his Eminence to his grandfather, and then it was passed down to every direct descendant of the Ping family. According to his Eminence, the mark comes with great power, so everyone who was marked and their families have potential of being just as much of an Action Hero. And yes, this includes his father and his brother.
  • Ambiguous Situation: According to Word of God, Lee skipped a grade when he was younger, though there is little in-series evidence to support this as he is in the tenth grade rather than the eleventh and celebrates his fifteenth birthday in one episode, lining up with how in real-world schools tenth graders are either fifteen already or will be before December. Either Lee both skipped a grade and repeated one, explaining why he is in the tenth grade rather than the eleventh, or the creators just plain goofed.
  • Anime Hair: Lee sports a mullet with emo bangs, that's red on top and black in the back.
  • Asian and Nerdy: Downplayed. He gets good grades, but uses his brain more for his investigations and is almost nothing like a stereotypical nerd.
  • Can't Get Away with Nuthin': In general. Naturally, on the one day Lee wants detention to protect himself, he has a free pass. Even trying to set up the bullies fails to nab the right culprit.
  • Catchphrase: "Thanks, buddy." In both Sincere and Sarcastic settings.
  • The Chosen One: Or "Mannifestum", as Finnwich calls him.
  • Clear My Name: His initial motive is to find the person who framed him for the big prank and be free from detention.
  • Cool Board: He's pretty handy with a skateboard, and has often used one to get out of sticky situations. In fact, the very first episode of the show opens with him being chased by the Cleaners on a skateboard before going back to show us how he got into the situation.
  • Determinator: His drive to prove his innocence and find the true culprit is a huge part of the show. Once he finds a clue or a potential suspect, he will do all he can to track them down.
  • Distinguishing Mark: His arm tattoo that he had for as long as he could remember which is actually hiding his three-banded birthmark.
  • The Hero: Lee is the main protagonist and the series revolves around him trying to find the person who framed him.
  • Heroic BSoD: Finding out that your latest rival is actually your brother, your mother might actually be a clone, and your father has been keep all of this a secret for years can do this to you.
  • Immune to Mind Control: He is immune to all known forms of Mind Control, including the Prank Song and Finnwich's direct control. Finnwich calls him "Mannifestum" because of it.
  • The Leader: Of the levelheaded variety.
  • Living MacGuffin: In the season four finale we find out that he is the only one who can open the pyramid and release His Eminence's brethren. Because of this, His Eminence wants to capture him so he can take over the world, Cassandra wants to capture him so she can use the alien technology to get even richer, and Finwich tries to kill both Lee and himself in order to ruin both their plans.
  • Magnetic Hero: Ends up winning over students that would usually not give him the time of day.
  • Meaningful Name: Lee's surname means "peaceful" or "level" in Chinese, which makes lots of sense considering his character.
  • Once per Episode: "At 4:15 detention gets out" as the first line of his Previously on… narration. It stopped being used when sneaking out of detention became the least of his worries.
  • Only Sane Man: One of the few well-adjusted students in this Academy of Adventure.
  • Ordinary High-School Student: He's a pretty regular guy compared to most of the other students in his school, and his disinterest in the cliques makes him stick out in that regard. This was a major reason why Victoria and Lynch framed him; his non-clique status and normalness meant nobody would really notice or pay much attention to him if he was sent to detention for a year.
  • Power Tattoo: His arm tattoo can glow and give him nifty skills like sword fighting. Subverted as the real power is coming from his hidden birthmark underneath it.
  • Redhead In Green: His Limited Wardrobe consists of green shirts and jeans.
  • Red Is Heroic: His red hair is a fitting indicator.
  • Replacement Goldfish: As it turns out, he is this for the Pings and their first son Li.
  • Smart People Play Chess: He checkmated Biffy twice, both times as an afterthought when they finished their conversation.
  • Socially Awkward Hero: As eloquently put by Brandy:
    You risk your life everyday, no big deal? But you can't tell a girl how you feel about her? Lame!
  • Trademark Favourite Food: Lee spends the whole episode “Mastermind” trying to get a Sloppy Joe, only for it to be knocked out of his hands or him being startled into dropping it. He finally gets one at the end of the episode.
  • You Are Grounded!: In addition to having a year of detention, he's also grounded for the same amount of time by his mother, who intends to enforce it.

    Camillio Martinez 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cam1234.jpg

Voiced by: Fab Filippo
A wannabe gangster Afro-Latino and one of Lee's best friends. Cam may not the smartest or bravest student around, but he always has Lee and Holger's back and can actually be quite clever if he wanted to. However, he as a strong desire to be part of the in-crowd and is one to quickly take advantage of any opportunity he can get, which is why he fully embraces Lee's newfound popularity.
  • All Guys Want Cheerleaders: At least until he starts getting interested in Brandy.
  • Brilliant, but Lazy: While not as smart as Lee, Cam does have his moments of brilliance. They just only come around when he's actually trying. For example, he is actually very knowledgeable about History and claims it's because it's the only subject he finds interesting enough to bother learning. Also, when he and a few other students were being blackmailed for cheating he was the only one who went all out with the investigation into who was doing it, and was the first to figure out that it was Grayson.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Most of his appearances feature him hitting on at least one of the girls.
  • Catchphrase: "What the what?!" He also frequently uses "Uhnn-kay".
  • Childhood Friends: He and Lee have been best friends ever since they met in grade school.
  • Deuteragonist: Gains this role in season 3.
  • Embarrassing Middle Name: Esmereldo.
  • Gratuitous Spanish: Tends to do this as he only started to learn English during 3rd grade.
  • Hidden Depths: When he was Student Council President, it's shown that he actually has some talent as a leader and is a decent speaker. On a lesser note, it's also revealed that he genuinely finds History to be very interesting and is even smarter than Lee when it comes to the subject.
  • Hypno Fool: He acts like am monkey whenever the Trigger Phrase "butterscotch" is spoken and stops with the phrase "queen of hearts". This was caused when he was hypnotised by The Amazing Finnwich at Lee's early birthday party untill "Finding Finnwich" when the spell was finally lifted. This was also used to help pull off the first prank.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He often prioritizes his popularity and reputation over his friends, but will put it aside to help Lee out when needed.
  • Jive Turkey: As part of his "wannabe rapstar" persona, he sometimes engages in this.
  • The Lancer: Depending on the episode.
  • Lovable Coward: At first, he didn't want to get involved in Lee's exploits and only got dragged into the mayhem when it was a school-wide threat. He carried shades of this even after he decided to join in. Finally dropped in the series finale.
  • Student Council President: Downplayed as he often shirks on his presidential responsibilities and is mainly in it for the fame.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: As evidenced by his love interests, particularly with his girlfriend, Brandy.

    Holger Holgaart 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/holger.jpg

Voiced by: Ryan Belleville
Lee's other best friend. Holger is a foreign exchange student with a very quirky personality and habits, to say the least. He's the most energetic and fit of the three boys, and is always the most eager to help either of them with any problem. Though sometimes, he can be a little too eager. Because of this, Holger is Lee's primary "go-to" guy whenever he needs a distraction, or for someone to handle something that he can't do.
  • Alliterative Name: Holger Holgaart.
  • Bizarre Taste in Food: Heck, one of his favorite dishes is braised narwhal liver with fried aardvark.
  • Camp Straight: He's the most flamboyant of the cast (even to the point of borderline flirting with Lee) yet is actually straight.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: He's a very eccentric individual, probably due to being a Funny Foreigner.
  • The Empath: He claims he can smell feelings. He can sense it when two people fall in love, at least.
  • Funny Foreigner/Foreign Exchange Student: See also Norse by Norsewest
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: He's quite naive and caring, goes with his role as The Heart.
  • The Heart: Between Lee and Cam, Holger is the glue that holds their friendship together with his earnest loyalty. Quite surprising, given that he didn't join their circle until their first year of high school. He's also very effeminate and into things such as spa treatments.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: Partially obscured by his Cool Shades.
  • Keet: He's highly energetic and constantly cheerful, with a loud voice and tendency to over-react in a silly, but endearing way. And he's definitely In Touch with His Feminine Side, given his expertise in cooking and love for beauty products like hand cream, dressing up, and his hair. Threatening to cut or soil his hair is probably the worst thing you can do to him.
  • Literal-Minded: Played for comedy.
  • My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That: Apparently gains this superpower in season 4, as demonstrated when he managed to figure out that Beth and Chopper had a thing for each other just by seeing Beth on the TV.
  • New Super Power: He seems to have gained them from getting hit with "eclipse beams" and spends a good portion of the following season trying to figure out what they are. It appears to be some sort of "love sense".
  • Nice Guy: Despite his goofy oddness, Holger is a loyal, honest, and kindhearted individual who will do anything for his friends and loved ones.
  • Norse by Norsewest: He's from a bizarre version of Sweden.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: Holger's not really that good at sneaking around or lying, nor is he particularily book smart, which leaves his role as the guy that keeps up team morale and provides light comedy in times of stress.
  • Puppy-Dog Eyes: Uses them on occasion, like to get Cam to put on a disguise in “The Hydra".
  • Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Usually. "Dun-dun-dun!".
  • Third-Person Person: He never uses "I" or "my", only "Holger this" and "Holger that".
  • Undying Loyalty: One of his most prevalent traits. If you are his best friend, he will do all he can for you and never leave you behind. This actually caused him some internal conflict when had to choose between helping either Lee or Cam when they were fighting.

    Biffy T. Goldstein 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/biffy.png

Voiced by: Zachary Bennett
Initially The Bully, Biffy is Lee's detention buddy, tech-wizard, and mission control. He is primarily responsible for helping Lee find his way around the school and then his way back to the detention room, making Biffy the most important person in Lee's missions. Unfortunately, since Biffy has a rep he wants to keep he insists that he and Lee aren't friends and that they shouldn't communicate outside detention. But the more they work together, the more Biffy stats warming up to the idea.
  • Ambiguously Jewish: His last name is Goldstein and his parents both have stereotypical Yiddish accents.
  • The Big Guy/The Lancer/The Smart Guy: Depending on the episode, he can either offer Lee technical support from his laptop or an extra hand for carrying heavy objects or beating up people. He also takes on the role of the Lancer in some episodes, though other characters get their share, too.
  • Bruiser with a Soft Center: See Hidden Depths & Friend to All Living Things. He will outright deny this whenever it's brought up.
  • The Bully: Mostly as a facade.
  • Childhood Friends: Surprisingly enough, with Kimmie. They've known each other since they were babies, but grew apart in 7th Grade. After spending a detention together though, they decide to start being friends again. Albeit not in the public eye due to their reputations.
  • Cuddle Bug: As a baby he was known as "Captain Clingy" because he wouldn't let go of Kimmie after hugs. He buries this under his bully facade nowadays but Kimmie claims he's still an affection hog in the Group Hug at the end of the series.
  • Embarrassing Middle Name: Tawilager.
  • Foil: To Lee in a sense that he's a clique-less detention regular due to getting busted nearly every day for infractions that may or may not be his fault. He even has parents that are deeply involved in the MWF conspiracy.
  • Friend to All Living Things: He's quite friendly with animals, even feral ones, which might explain why he's a pesco-vegetarian.
  • Genius Bruiser: He's Lee's technological backup in the early episodes, and tags along with him in the later episodes to act as the muscle.
  • Gentle Giant: He's really strong but he has a soft spot for his cat, Mrs. Rumplekittykat. Freshman year at A. Nigma high he was clumsy at his size and bumped people a lot and got detention for it. He likes detention because he has all the free space he wants there and his reputation as a bully followed.
  • Hidden Depths: Biff seems to have a passion for sewing in addition to knitting, even making the costumes for the school play. His hacking skills when he helps Lee also count.
  • Immune to Mind Control: Similar to Lee, the Prank Song doesn't affect him.
  • Jabba Table Manners: How he enjoys cake is rather messy. He shoves whole slices in his mouth before slamming the entire cake on a plate in his face, smearing icing around his mouth. He's a little defensive about it.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He has a reputation as the school bully and refuses to act nice in public, but Lee finds early on that in private, he likes to knit sweaters and play with kittens.
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: Cares a great deal for his pet, Mrs. Rumplekittykat. He even carries her in his inner vest pocket at times.
  • Meet My Good Friends Lefty and Righty: He named his arms "Meltdown" and "Pummel" respectively.
  • Mission Control: Serves as this for most of Lee's exploits. Lampshaded in the first episode:
    Biffy: Man, this like a spy movie or something! Wait. But wouldn’t that make me —?
    Lee: The computer nerd? Sure looks that way.
  • The Omniscient: Or at least claims he is. "I know everything! I know, it's actually pretty scary sometimes."
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Biff loves to knit and play with his cat.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: He's a big fan of cake. He came to Lee's tenth birthday party from ten blocks away because he couldn't resist the smell of his cake.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Lee.
  • We Used to Be Friends: With Kimmie in season 1. They eventually repair the relationship in later seasons.

    Tina Kwee 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tina_8.png

Voiced by: Krystal Meadows
A professional journalist in the making and one of A. Nigma's school reporters and news anchors. Tina is known for taking her job very seriously and isn't one to hide the truth. The good news for her is that the school is full of big stories that need exposure, but the bad news is that she has to deal with her overwhelming co-anchor, Chaz. Lee's had a crush on her since 5th Grade, but unfortunately, his growing popularity as the Prank Master and the many secrets he is hiding have not helped his chances.
  • Asian and Nerdy: Downplayed. Like Lee, she's Asian and very clever, and not super-duper popular, with most of the popular students (especially Chaz) looking down on her. However, other than her intelligence and unpopularity, she's not really that stereotypical of a nerd.
  • A Day in the Limelight: She's the star of a series of web-exclusive videos formerly on Teletoon's official website where she investigates the disappearance of Principal Wurst (the previous principal) while Lee is simultaneously trying to find the real prankster.
  • Determinator: If there is something suspicious going around A. Nigma, Tina will find all the answers.
  • First Girl Wins: Lee's had a crush on her for a long time, and vice versa. After several complications, they do end up getting together.
  • Girl Next Door: With the Youthful Freckles for emphasis. Has been called plain and frumpy by the highly critical students.
  • Going for the Big Scoop: Is willing to go to great lengths to get to the bottom of a story. And it seems to get her into just as much trouble.
  • Intrepid Reporter/School Newspaper News Hound: As one half of the school the school news team.
  • Lovable Nerd: Her determination in searching for the truth is truly admirable.
  • Only Sane Woman: She's usually the one to point out the flaws in various characters' actions when Lee isn't around.
  • Pretend to Be Brainwashed: When she realizes that something suspicious is happening with the phones and the other students, she does this in order to trick Lynch.
  • Plucky Girl: When she takes part in Lee's investigation.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: As shown in her interest in Lee and, initially, Brad.
  • The Smart Girl: Her thirst for knowledge leads to her being an excellent researcher and detective. In the webisodes, she starts piecing together the mystery of Coral Grove, and when she helps Lee with the secrecy surrounding the school she does a lot of the problem solving and putting information together.
  • Straight Woman: Serves as this in the A. Nigma student news.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: While not as much as Jenny, she is the "tomboy" to Brandy's "girly girl." For all intents and purposes she is the gray area between the two.
  • Tsundere: Type B. She's usually generous and kind, but she will bite back on people that insist on annoying her.

    Principal General Wendell Barrage 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/general_barrage.png

Voiced by: Seán Cullen
A. Nigma's new principal. Barrage is a half-cyborg war veteran who doesn't even know the meaning behind having an in-door voice. Strict and intimidating, Barrage intends to make sure that every student appears as proper and well-behaved as possible, and he doesn't care how far he would have to go to keep it that way. With lack of a better term, he is Lee's primary enemy and the number one person he is always trying to avoid whenever he is on a mission.

A. Nigma High

    Student News Team 

Chaz Moneranian

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chaz_monerainian.jpg

Voiced by: David Berni
Tina's co-anchor. A flamboyant and narcissistic reporter who is always trying to steal her spotlight. While Tina handles the more serious school news, Chaz would rather focus on school gossip and rumors, and is quick to take advantage of dirty secrets in order to humiliate his fellow students. He even has his own school show that he delightfully calls "Chaz's Corner!"' which is dedicated to doing this.
  • Alpha Bitch: A rare male version, though it mostly applies to the news team.
  • Attention Whore: The only reason he's even on the News Team is that he loves the camera so much.
  • The Dandy: He cares a lot about his looks. He wears fancy clothes and doesn't want to be on camera until he's dumped a can of hair product into his hair.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: It seems like Chaz has no actual friends aside from Stepak, who is just his camera man and so has no choice but to follow Chaz. He considers himself one of the popular kids, but not even they seem to like him.
  • It's All About Me: Tends to take over the news segments his very own "Chaz's Corner!"
  • Jerkass: A huge narcissist who enjoys digging up dirt on the other students and frequently belittles his co-workers, especially Tina.
  • Kent Brockman News: He spends more time fussing about his hair and talking about how awesome he is than actually giving news. Typically, he and Tina will bicker for a while about who gets to say something or interview someone before one of them finally does it, and if it's not him, he's liable to either pout or interrupt her.
  • Narcissist: He certainly thinks he's the hottest thing around, and he does care about his appearance.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He's constantly talking about how amazing and handsome he is, even if no one else thinks so.

Stepak

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

The camera man and technician of the News Team. Normally seen carrying a camera and following Chaz or Tina around with it.

  • The Quiet One: He has a few lines here or there, but a majority of the time he just lets Tina and Chaz do the talking.
  • Satellite Character: Rarely ever seen without either Tina or Chaz beside him, usually filming them.

    Popular Students 
An exclusive clique composed of The Glamazons, The A. Nigma Tazelwurms football team, and the other cool kids.

Brandy Silver

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brandy_silver.jpg

Voiced by: Melanie Leishman
The newest addition to the Glamazons, Brandy would do anything to keep her status as one if the hottest and most popular girls in A. Nigma, even if it means having to be bossed around by Kimmie. As soon as Lee gained major popularity due to the prank, Brandy was quick to latch onto him and declare herself his girlfriend. While initially coming off as a typical High School Alpha Bitch, the softer side of Brandy's personality starts emerging the more time she spends with Lee.
  • Accidental Misnaming: In the first two seasons, she frequently calls Lee Ping, "Leaping".
  • Amicable Exes: While their relationship was completely one-sided on Brandy's part, her and Lee still get along fairly well after Brandy came to terms with Lee's feelings for Tina and started dating Cam.
  • Attention Whore: She will do pretty much anything to be popular.
  • Beta Bitch: To Kimmie.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: To Lee and Tina in the early seasons, hating any interaction they have. Thankfully, she matures. She also shows shades of this whenever Cam flirted with the cheerleader, Toni, and this was before they became official.
  • Hidden Depths: When she starts opening up more to Lee and Cam, it's shown that she's not all that bad a person. She can be smart, sensitive, and even considerate, given that the situation calls for it.
  • Insistent Terminology: Lee keeps telling her that his name is not pronounced like "leaping".
  • Lovable Alpha Bitch: More like "Lovable Beta Bitch". She's not that bad once you get to know her and she can be really thoughtful when she wants, but still be a bitch about it.
  • Not So Above It All: At first, Brandy was rarely quiet about how she refused to do anything silly looking or just downright immature. But as the episodes past and she starts joining in on more of Lee's plans and adventures, it's clear that she's not above doing even crazier things than the guys.
  • Pink Means Feminine: In her usual apparel.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: While she doesn't exactly tower over him, it's notable that her and Cam are the only Official Couple where the girl is taller than the guy.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: In terms of their relationship with Lee, the "girly girl" to Tina and Jenny's "tomboy"
  • Tsundere: Type A. She desperately wants to fit in with the Glamazons, so she acts in a way that will impress Kimmie, a.k.a. cold and uncaring towards other people. Whenever someone tries to show her up, she explodes and starts yelling at them in an attempt to re-gain control of the situation. It takes a few seasons and lots of Character Development to reveal her soft side, and we see that she does open up to people if she trusts them enough and can genuinely be quite sweet.
  • Yes-Man: To Kimmie, again. Eventually, she gets fed up and refuses to continue being this, getting kicked out of the Glamazons as a result.

Kimmie McAdams

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kim_6.jpg

Voiced by: Athena Karkanis
Beauty, brains, and attitude, Kimmie has everything one needs to be the queen bee of A. Nigma and leader of the Glamazons. Like most of the popular students, she is all for making fun of those lower than her in status and fully utilizes the power she has over the other Glamazons. However, she does have a more sensitive side, which only starts resurfacing once she rekindles her childhood friendship with Biffy.
  • Aloof Ally: She will help Biffy sometimes... if she feels like it.
  • Alpha Bitch: As the leader of the "Glamazons".
  • Childhood Friends: Surprisingly enough, with Biffy. They've known each other since they were babies, but grew apart in 7th Grade. After spending a detention together though, they decide to start being friends again. Albeit not in the public eye due to their reputations.
  • Distinguishing Mark: Confirmed by the series director. Kimmie has the same birthmark Lee does, as both are descendants of people who discovered His Eminence. While Lee’s is covered with a tattoo, Kimmie uses makeup to hide hers.
  • Et Tu, Brute?: Was always one to defend her mother and quickly gets mad whenever Biffy or Lee insists that she's evil. But once she realizes that her mom really is as evil as they say, Kimmie freezes her using the crystal gun in order to stop her from attacking Lee and his friends.
  • Lovable Alpha Bitch: Sometimes, if she is in a good mode and mostly towards Biffy.
  • We Used to Be Friends: She was close childhood friends with Biffy. They grew apart after a while, but later in the series, they start re-kindling their friendship.

Brad Von Chillstein

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

Voiced by: Robert Tinkler
One of the most, if not the most, popular students in the school, primarily due to his dad being a famous action movie star celebrity. Due to a combination of both his need to continue being seen as the cool guy, and just plain cluelessness, Brad tends to get in the way of Lee and his friends during dire situations. Thankfully for Lee, Brad tends to be mostly talk and is completely harmless. Though that doesn't mean he isn't capable of pulling off some sinister plan in order to keep his popularity.
  • Action Hero: He THINKS he's this.
  • Big Man on Campus: He's the most popular student in school. Subverted when Lee's rising popularity status knocks him off his pedestal.
  • The Ditz: Tends to see the world as if it ran completely on movie cliches, going as far as believing that his dad's B-movie plots are legit and effective in real life.
  • Foil: To Lee.
  • Heroic Wannabe: Mostly to follow under his action-hero superstar father.
  • Romantic False Lead: For Tina which may or may not have been influenced by the brainwashing experiments.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He sees himself as a badass Action Hero, but is completely unaware that he is in fact little more than a narcissistic idiot.
  • Vocal Evolution: At first, Brad had a much deeper voice before it eventually became more high and nasally.
  • What Does She See in Him?: He says this about Tina when she rejects him in favour of pursuing Lee.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: As revealed in Episode 21, he believes that various elements from his dad's action movies are applicable to real-life. He's also prone to thinking he's the star of an action story when he's really the comic relief/Romantic False Lead in a more mystery and suspense-oriented story.

Dickie Andrews

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

Voiced by: Danny Smith
Seemingly the popular student in charge of keeping the status quo in check at A. Nigma.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Uses his knowledge of the school population and the social status to keep the popular kids in power.
  • The Social Expert: He's one of the key popular students controlling the rest of the population. When he and Kimmie team up to make Cam the school president, he does most of the social stuff – while Kimmie doesn't care about any of the non-popular students, Dickie seems to know each one by name and can even name a hobbie or characteristic that can be used to befriend them, which makes him pretty good at manipulating people.

Steve Carb

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

Voiced by: Justin Landry
One of the jocks and star quarterback of A. Nigma's football team. He tends to be a jerk, but like most of the students, he is actually a pretty decent guy once you get to know him.
  • Jerk Jock: Starts off like this toward Lee, but actually proves to be a nice and loyal guy once Lee gets on his good side.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: He pretends to be bad at math so that Greta, who he has a crush on, will tutor him.
  • Security Blanket: Despite being in High School and one of the toughest jocks there, Steve still carries around his “Bub-bub”, a so-called lucky towel which has been in his family for generations and is covered in sweat and dirt. He is not ashamed of this, either, and is devastated when his Bub-bub is stolen.

    "Matheletes" 
  • Geek Physiques: They're all fairly skinny and/or short. In addition, Beth has a retainer and Greta has a unibrow.
  • The Smart Guys: They represent the nerd clique, and fit the stereotype nicely.

Irwin Dexter

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

Voiced by: Lyon Smith
President of the Mathletes and a member of the Genius Club. Irwin is one of the few students who has a genuine vendetta against Lee, which stems from how they used to be friends and fellow Mathletes, but Lee was always considered the smarter one. Surprisingly, he also loves dancing and is very good at it, going as far as having a DDR math game in the club and his own dance uniform.

Greta Von Hoffman

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/greta_von_hoffman.jpg

Voiced by: Julie Lemieux
The nicest member of the Mathletes, and the only one to branch out and interact with even the more popular students. Greta is, notably, smart yet eccentric enough to keep up with Holger's interesting quirks and isn't afraid to join him in even the most absurd things. Naturally, this makes her the most important girl to Holger.

Beth

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beth_3.png

Voiced by: Lisa Norton
A prominent member of the Mathletes who is heavily into Castles & Serpents, a live-action roleplaying game. She is considered unpopular, mostly due to her scathing attitude and tendency to spit when she talks.

Wayne Duncan

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

The quietest member of the Mathletes, widely believed to have replaced Lee after his departure from the clique.

  • Even Nerds Have Standards: In the first episode, he shoves past Camillio without apologizing because of the latter's nobody status.
    Lee: (to Camillio) "Dude, you just got pwned by a mathlete!"
  • Out of Focus: He's the Mathlete with the least amount of focus in the series.
  • Torture Technician: Is implied to be this for Irwin, as he is the person shown "interrogating" Holger with a feather and scissors.

    Outcasts 

A trio of unpopular students who believe they are cursed with very disgusting habits.

Lou Black

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

Voiced by: Terry McGurrin
The supposed leader of the Outcasts, and cursed with the non-stop desire to suck his thumb. Out of the Outcasts, Lou wants his coolness back the most, and will do anything for it. This has caused a few problems for them and Lee as a result.
  • Standardized Leader: For the outcasts. He does most of the talking when interacting with other students, but he doesn't have much character to him.

The Outcast cursed with the need to eat anything and everything.
  • Extreme Omnivore: He eats anything and everything, including sticks and dirt.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Whenever he hears any word that starts with "B", he has a mental breakdown and will do nothing but stutter "B-b-b-b-word" while pulling his bandana over his ears.

Jenny Jergens

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jenny_jergens.jpg

Voiced by: Stacey DePass
The only girl of the Outcast, and cursed with, what most students consider, the most disgusting action: the need to always stick her finger up her nose. Jenny was the first student in the core cast to find Finnwinch's book, and her desire to solve its mysteries promoted her to becoming an important part of Lee's gang. She also quickly develops some feelings for Lee, since he was the first non-Outcast guy to not be bothered by her curse and to see her as a friend.
  • Alliterative Name: Jenny Jergens.
  • Ascended Extra: She began as a background character, but ends up joining Lee's team and becomes a main character.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: After Lee decides to help her group out again (even after she stole his Cool Key), she helps him out with his investigations. This is also the reason why she was quick to develop feelings for him, and later the Serpent — because they were the first guys outside the Outcasts to show her any semblance of acceptance and kindness.
  • Deadpan Snarker: She has a sharp tongue and isn't afraid to express it.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Due to being ostracized for her uncontrolled habit, she's usually cold towards other people. She's more open to people with whom she has established a friendship or has a crush.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Rescinds her "No Dating Lee" pact with Tina when she realizes that two really care for each other.
  • Loner-Turned-Friend: To Lee and Tina.
  • Love Makes You Dumb: Falls for this when she gained an infatuation for the Serpent and winds up losing the Book to him.
  • Nose Nuggets: She is cursed with chronic nose-picking. She once says "the boogers help the pages turn." That said, she does slowly drop the habit for the most part, thanks to Tina.
  • Redhead In Green: Wears a green shirt and a green jacket.
  • Sixth Ranger: Becomes a member of Lee's team in Season 3.
  • The Smurfette Principle: The only female member of the Outcasts.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail: She's one of the less feminine female cast members, and wears a ponytail to show it.

    Gifted Students/Genius Club 

A reclusive clique of geniuses that convenes in a secret hideout hidden in the library. They occasionally help Lee with the technical aspects of his investigation that Biffy cannot handle.

  • The Smart Guys: They're less nerdy than the Mathletes and more straight-up smart.
  • Teen Geniuses: A club full of the smartest students in the school. What would you expect?

Ruby Kwee

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

Voiced by: Kristin Fairlie
Tina's younger, and smarter, sister. Ruby first appeared when she falsely admitted to being responsible for the prank, because she didn't want to go to a foreign and prestigious university.
  • Asian and Nerdy: She is a super genius after all.
  • Child Prodigy: She's in High School at age 11, though she's not very happy about it.
  • Cuteness Proximity: Reacts this way upon meeting Mrs. Rumplekittycat.
  • Grade Skipper: In the 11th grade, a year above her sister Tina.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Her parents put a lot of pressure on her to do something with her genius intellect, when she just wants to be a normal kid. It got to the point that she willingly took the blame for the prank so that they wouldn't force her to go to a prestigious university.
  • Smart People Play Chess: She played with Biffy when she was stuck in detention and beat him.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: She looks almost identical to Tina, but younger.

Grayson Potter

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grayson_potter.jpg

Grayson is everyone's typical smart man and he takes great pride in that. However, he is also one of the nicer students and is more than willing to help, if necessary. Which is why it surprises Cam when Grayson turns out to be the blackmailer and the one responsible for humiliating him, Cyrus, and most of the popular students.

  • Ascended Extra: He was a bit character in the first two seasons, but gets promoted to a larger role in Season 3 where he's heavily involved in Cam's blackmailing story.
  • The Dog Bites Back: He attempts this. As a child, he was bullied by the jocks and cool kids, going through situations such as being forced to eat an insect sandwich or having hot soup poured on his lap as everyone else just laughed. Since those same kids attend A. Nigma, Grayson took the opportunity to try and make their lives just as miserable. So he tricks and blackmails nearly everyone in his elementary class with threats of exposing them as cheaters unless they do as he says. This includes Cyrus and Cam, who weren't even involved in the bullying. When he finally pushes them to abandon everything they love, and even gets Cam suspended, Grayson comes to realize that trying to get back at bullies just wasn't worth the misery he caused them. In the end, it just felt horrible.
  • Genius Cripple: The only student we've seen with an obvious disability
  • High-School Hustler: He's even made the handicapped toilet stall his little office to sell high-grade papers.
  • Nerd Glasses: The only male nerd and member of the Genius Club to wear glasses.
  • Super Wheelchair: In addition to a built-in computer, he has his wheelchair set up with enough gadgets to deal with any situation.

Nadene

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

Nadene is easily recognizable by her large green hoodie and love for Hip-hop. But while she doesn't look the part, especially when compared to the others, she is actually one of the smartest students. She also a member of the Student Council.

"Tech Nerd"

Recognized for his knowledge and skills with computers. A huge fan of Ace Von Chillstein, he never holds back from acting like a kiss-up to Brad and constantly agrees with him.

  • Black and Nerdy: As a member of the Genius Club.
  • Butt-Monkey: He's constantly getting picked on and accidentally hurt. He handles it pretty well, considering.
  • Fanboy: To both generations of Von Chillsteins.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname/No Name Given: Brad gives him the nickname "Tech Nerd", and that's all he is called in the few episodes he appears in.

    Lynch Webber (SPOILERS UNMARKED) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lynch_webber.jpg
Spoiler

Voiced by: Brian Froud
A nerdy-looking Jive Turkey-talking student who works on the school's servers and was also the DJ at Brandy's party. He has a strange obsession with Apple Splat and peanuts, and is always seen consuming either one. Eventually, Lynch develops a strong admiration for Lee, and is more than willing to join in on his missions because he wants to be just as cool. He's actually Radcircles, the person responsible for the prank.
  • Arch-Enemy: Lee’s most recurring and personal foe, having set off the prank that got Lee a year of detention and spends the series toying with him even after his identity is revealed.
  • Ax-Crazy: His true personality is that of a sadistic maniac who sees the whole conspiracy as a game between Lee and him.
  • Catchphrase: "Knock-knock."
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He's... not all there.
  • False Friend: Pretended to be Lee's friend so as to throw him off the trail.
  • Genius Ditz: While he's pretty good with technology, he tends to make a lot of stupid decisions. The "ditz" part is an act.
  • Insufferable Genius: After the reveal of his true nature.
  • Jive Turkey: His lines are rife with this. It's a part of his disguise as a teenager.
  • The Mole: Provides Vice Principal Victoria with information on the student body.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: His goofy, ditzy personality is entirely an act to avoid Lee's suspicions, hiding his much more sinister and unstable true personality.
  • Older Than He Looks: Hinted to be this. Confirmed in "Fence-o-palooza", with the help of Finnwich's magic and plastic surgery.
  • Rogue Agent: Becomes one after Vice Principal Victoria's arrest.
  • Sadist: He takes pleasure in messing with Lee and making him suffer, seeing the whole conspiracy and their antagonism as fun and amusement.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Lynch has two: a beverage called Green Apple Splat ("It's the splattiest!") and peanuts. His constant consumption of the latter annoys several characters and makes him not very good at being sneaky. Both turn out to be important — he's always talking about Splat because he actually owns the company, and in the Season 2 finale, Lee uses the trail of peanut shells he leaves behind to track him down.
  • Walking Spoiler: It's easy to assume there's little else to Lynch beyond his goofy, nerdy personality, but going more into the true depths of his character would reveal huge spoilers about the plot.

    The 15th Graders 

Three students who have been held back for a few years and are older than a majority of their peers at A. Nigma. They aggressively defend their turf, the Forbidden Hallway, and are shown to bully other students and generally cause mayhem.

  • Barbaric Bully: All of them, though Stinky fits to a lesser extent.
  • British Teeth: The only characters to have visibly cracked, crooked, or missing teeth. Possibly to convey that they are up to no good.
  • Delinquents: To the point where Chopper regularly reminds his cohorts that they are "thugs".
  • Eyes Out of Sight: Their eyes are always obscured, either by welding glasses (Chopper) or hats (Stinky and Emmett
  • Gang of Bullies: They fit the stereotype better than Biffy Goldstein, who is simply viewed as a bully but isn't really.
  • Grease Monkey: When they're not tormenting other students, they can be found in the auto shop.
  • Held Back in School: The amount of times they've been held back is never specified in-show, but Word Of God states that they are nineteen-years-old and have been retained for three years.
  • Karma Houdini: They've posed threats to other students for years but have somehow evaded demonstrable punishment.
  • Stuffed into a Locker: Is shown doing this to an unfortunate underclassman in the Season 2 trailer.

Chopper McNeal

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/15th_grader_chopper_mcneal.png

The leader of the 15th Graders. He is one of the most feared students in school.

Stinky

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/15th_grader_stinky.png

Voiced by: Terry McGurrin
The friendliest member of the 15th Graders who appears to be Chopper's second-in-command.
  • Hidden Depths: Aspires to make something of himself by going to clown school. He is also seen on the student council with members of the Genius Club, implying that he is smarter than he lets on.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: To the point where Brad designates him as the "Comic Relief" in "School Hard".
  • Token Good Teammate: He is a person Lee sometimes appeals to for assistance (with mixed results, of course).

Emmett McKinley

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/15th_grader_emmet_mckinley.png

Chopper's enforcer who serves as the muscle of the group.

  • Out of Focus: While Stinky gets to show off Hidden Depths and Chopper eventually gets a minor subplot, he mostly stays the same.
  • Super-Strength: Is responsible for the dents and holes in the Forbidden Hallway's steel lockers.
  • The Voiceless: Hasn't spoken once.

    The Skaters 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skaters.jpg
From left to right: Ned, Zed, Ted, and the unnamed member

Voiced by: Christian Potenza
A clique of skateboarding enthusiasts who also love playing pranks. Although absent-minded and lacking in attention spans, they look up to Lee as the ultimate Prank Master, and Lee can frequently count on their help when in a pinch.
  • The Ditz: None of them are especially bright. Lee refers to them as "Hyperactive Squirrel-Brains".
  • The Leader: Zed is this for the other Skaters.
  • No Name Given: The one in the white sleeveless shirt. If the rest are anything to go byy, he probably also has a name ending with "-ed".
  • Surfer Dude: Due to being voiced by the same actor who voices Jude Lizowski and Chris McLean, they have a strong "surfer dude" vibe to them.
  • Totally Radical: They have their own clique slang that makes them difficult for others outside their clique to understand.

    Other Students 
  • Recurring Extras: Often seen wandering around the background. Even though they're not needed for the plot, they're always there.

    Faculty & Staff 

Vice Principal Veronica Victoria

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

Voiced by: Hélène Joy
The shapely vice-principal of A. Nigma and number two to Principal General Barrage. Vice Principal Victoria looks out for the students of A. Nigma High by reining in Barrage's brutally militaristic harshness. While more than a little ambitious, she has a zero-tolerance stance for bullying in her halls and occasionally helps Lee in his missions around the school. She's actually helped Lynch frame Lee for mind control experiments on the school.
  • Alliterative Name: Vice Principal Veronica Victoria.
  • Big Bad: Of Seasons 1 & 2. She was in charge of the brainwashing experiments and was in cahoots with Lynch, a.k.a. Radcircles.
    • Disc-One Final Boss: What she actually was; as soon as she's defeated, the Council takes her place.
  • Evil All Along: And there was plenty of Foreshadowing.
  • Evil Redhead: She was the Big Bad of the first two seasons, after all.
  • Evil Teacher: Well, Vice Principal, but that doesn't excuse testing out brainwashing methods on students.
  • Expy: She's a downplayed Jessica Rabbit.
  • Hot Teacher: Well Vice-Principal, but that's what you expect from anyone modeled after Jessica Rabbit.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: She narrowly avoided a somewhat darker variant. Her superiors need Lee alive for their plans, and it's a lot easier to keep an eye on him if he's at A. Nigma. Victoria wasn't aware of this, and her decision to choose Lee as her fall guy lead him dangerously close to expulsion and losing his life at more than one point. Either way, His Eminence would have lost a key pawn and his plans would have taken another generation of Pings to hopefully produce someone who can open the pyramid.
    • In a straighter example, her decision to pin Lee for the prank helps him stumble across the conspiracy going on at school and fight back against the ones responsible.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: While still willing to discpline the students, she's also much nicer than Barrage. Unfortunately, it's all an act.
  • Redhead In Green: Her usual attire.
  • The Starscream: A benign example as she tends to interfere with Barrage's running of the school, usually on the behalf of the students. Doubly subverted as it's actually a ploy to get Barrage fired so she could perfect her brainwashing experiments, using the students as guinea pigs.
  • Treacherous Advisor: Once Lee told everything he uncovered (thus far), she confessed her involvement in a top-secret brainwashing experiment to him and that Barrage is most likely after everyone associated with it. In reality, her and Barrage's roles are reversed, and she fully intended to get rid of Lee as well.

Sue Ping

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrs_ping.jpg

Voiced by: Marjorie Chan
Lee Ping's mother and a math teacher at A. Nigma. She is every bit as demanding and strict with her students as she is with her son, whom she has grounded for a full year for pulling the prank. But despite her intensively critical nature and constant demand for nothing less than perfection in all things educational, she does care about her family and wants what is best for them.
  • Action Mom: First seen in "Clogspiracy" when she shows she's handles guns before.
  • Asian Rudeness: Definitely. She has the accent and personality down to a T.
  • Drives Like Crazy: As her son's best friend Cam puts it, "every drive with you is like an adventure in almost dying!"
  • Education Mama: They've even made her his math teacher!
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite being a strict math teacher of the school, she does have a hidden softer side for her son and really just wants what is best for him.
  • Mama Bear: Don't mess with her son unless you wanna mess with her. Just ask Superintendent Blompkins.

Mrs. Alice

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

Voiced by: Jayne Eastwood
The school librarian. Despite her zero-tolerance stance against noise in the library and rambling tendencies, she does have a few secrets of her own up her sleeves.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Brought about by senility.
  • Scary Librarian: She will not tolerate noise in her library no matter what the situation. When she shushes you, you'd better zip it or else.

Principal Art Wurst

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

Voiced by: Juan Chioran
The previous principal of A. Nigma, who mysteriously vanished a few days before the school year (and the series) started to be replaced with Barrage. While much nicer than his successor, he has an insatiable appetite for candy.

The Red Tazelwurm

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

Voiced by: Seán Cullen
Not a conventional member of the school faculty, but rather the mascot of A. Nigma High, the Red Tazelwurm is a two-legged snake-like creature that slinks around the school, sometimes causing trouble. Lee often runs into it during his missions, but as he delves deeper and deeper into the mystery of who pranked him, he finds the creature to be a lot more than just a vicious beast and in fact a valuable ally.
  • Ambiguous Situation: How intelligent is it? Does it simply see the conspiracy as a threat, or can it think? It often leads Lee and his allies to important clues, which would seemingly imply the latter to be the case.
  • Big Good: The closest thing the series has to one, at least.
  • Last of His Kind: There don't seem to be any other Tazelwurms that aren't mechanised minions, and there certainly aren't any other Red Tazelwurms around either.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: The Tazelwurm resembles a dragon of sorts, and is known as the school's mascot. It's also named after the Tatzelwurm, a half-snake, half-cat creature from German folklore.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: With it's cybernetic, blue kin. The blue Tazelwurms are evil minions of the conspiracy that were reprogrammed and turned into cyborgs to guard the deeper parts of the school in secret, while the red Tazelwurm is against the conspiracy, entirely organic, and is a being known to crawl through the vents of the school.
  • Rule of Cool: Probably the only reason it can seemingly live in the vents of a high school.

Other Teachers

  • Celebrity Resemblance: The remaining teachers bear uncanny similarities to famous historical figures. Which is because they're clones of them, except for Mrs. Ping.
  • Put on a Bus: Coach Pummel and Mrs. Lob, who mysteriously disappeared.

Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich(and Ping)

    Founders 

"The Amazing" Maxwell Finnwich

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/finnwich.jpg

Voiced by: Paul Soles
An elderly cyborg magician who performed for Lee and his friends at his 10th birthday, hypnotizing Cam into acting like a monkey every time the word "butterscotch" is said around him. However, he's a lot more than a mere parlor performer and has some surprising involvement in the mystery of who framed Lee, being one of the founding figures of the Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich company.

Art Wurst

The second of the founding figures behind Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich.

Elizabeth Mann

The third founder of Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich. She is the ancestor of Kimmie McAdams.

Lo Ping

The secret fourth founding member of Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich. He is the ancestor of Lee Ping.

  • Heel–Face Turn: He left MWF once he realized His Eminence's true motivations.
  • Walking Spoiler: He's basically the reason Lee's so important in the grand scheme of things.

    The Council 

Members

"His Eminence"

SPOILER

Voiced by: Seán Cullen
The true antagonist of the series and the leader of the Council that runs Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich. However, as Biffy observes, something about him suggests he might be more out of the ordinary than anything else on the show.

Cassandra McAdams

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cass_7.jpg

Voiced by: Julie Lemieux
The mother of Kimmie McAdams and head of A, Nigma's parents council. She is as fabulously wealthy and powerful as one would expect to be for the mother of the A. Nigma's queen bee. In fact, as the head of Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich (inherited from her ancestor Elizabeth Mann), she is the most powerful person in the world, period - with the resourcefulness and ruthlessness that comes with being a successful businesswoman.

"The Serpent" /Li Ping

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_serpent_2.jpg

Voiced by: Karl Ang
A mysterious figure with a striking resemblance to Lee Ping. While not a member of The Council himself, he is always seen besides them as their bodyguard and assassin, carrying out their dirty work and having been raised by them and without a true family of his own since childhood. He has a large black snake named Priscilla for a pet that he deeply values above all else.

Unnamed Members

    Associates 

Dr. Alfred Ping

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alfred_ping.jpg

Voiced by: Tony Rosato
Lee's father and Sue's husband. He's much more lax on his son in comparison to his wife and a bit of a goof sometimes. He works as a scientist, although he tends to be secretive about his job.
  • Bumbling Dad: Despite being a scientist, he gives off this vibe at times.
  • Dark Secret: He has been working for Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich for years and only recently found out they were Evil All Along and kidnapped his first son.
  • Distinguishing Mark: He has the same tattoo as his son which is used to cover his own three-banded birthmark. Like his father before him, he gave Lee the same tattoo but didn't get to do the same for his first son, the Serpent.
  • Lethal Chef: He claims he can't even boil water, which is why his wife does all the cooking.
  • Nice Guy: He's much less strict than Sue is with Lee and overall a friendly, cheerful individual.
  • Plot Allergy: A severe one for fish. Serves as a tie to the Serpent.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: So...what did the Serpent do to him after the events of "Mummy Ping and the Snake Man of Evil"?
  • When You Coming Home, Dad?: Gives off this impression due to his infrequent appearances in episodes, though it's subverted by Lee's lack of worry.

Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein

Biffy's parents, who are much smaller than their hulking son. They work as scientists for Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich, but are extremely secretive about what they do.
  • Ambiguously Evil: While they seem to work at Coral Grove, their level of involvement in MWF's villainous activities has yet to be explained.
  • Ambiguously Jewish: They speak with very obvious and exaggerated Jewish accents, but there has yet to be anything shown that confirms they actually are.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Parents: Biffy, and even Lee, absolutely tower over the both of them.

    Hazmats 

Cleaner Class

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

The resident mooks of the show, appearing as hazmat-clad humanoids that speak in various groaning and grunting sounds. These mysterious beings are normally seen as janitors around A. Nigma, but Barrage and various other antagonists utilize them for nearly everything else, meaning Lee and his circle of allies face them on a near-regular basis when on missions.

  • Faceless Goons: The green-tinted ones are actually people.
  • Hazmat Suit: Incorporated into their design.
  • Inexplicably Identical Individuals: Each kind of Hazmat looks pretty much the same. Because they're all robots.
  • Mecha-Mooks: The white ones that work as janitorial staff at A. Nigma High.
  • Mooks: They serve this role for Principal Barrage, but as the show goes on, we see them under the employment of many other villains and others connected with the conspiracy behind it all.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: The humans in suits.

"Reaper-mats"

Elit variations of the standard Cleaner-Class Hazmats seen around A. Nigma. Distinguished by the huge scythes they wield., these tougher and meaner Hazmats are utilized by The Council as their mooks.
