The Local/Global Heroes

In General

The Local Heroes/The Global Heroes

A ragtag team of superheroes assembled—mostly by accident—by Kid Cosmic after each of them acquires one of the cosmic stones.

---

• Color-Coded Characters: Each of them is associated with a certain color, matching the stones they get.
  • The sleeves on Kid Cosmic's shirt are green, matching his stone.
  • Jo's hair is purple, matching her purple stone.
  • Rosa's dress is blue, matching her stone.
  • Papa G has yellow decorations on his hat, going along with his stone.
  • Tuna Sandwich with red.
  • Chuck with blue, though a greyer shade than Rosa's.
  • Flo with olive green.
  • Fry with pink.
  • Hamburg with purple, though a darker and less pink shade than Jo's.
  • Carlos with an icy pale blue, Ramona with a fiery orange.
  • Carla with magenta.
  • Carl with teal.
• Five Temperament Ensemble: Kid Cosmic is Choleric, Jo is Melancholic, Papa G is Phlegmatic, Rosa is Sanguine, and Tuna Sandwich is Eclectic.
• Intergenerational Friendship: Technically, two of them are related (Kid and Papa G) but there's still the fact a teenager, a kid, an old man, a toddler and a cat hang out together.
• How Do I Shot Web?: Since the "rings" didn't come with instructions, the team initially has to figure out how to activate each ring's specific power. It's slightly Downplayed, however, since the team quickly figure out how to make their powers work.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Among the stones they get in season 2 is one that gives the user four arms.
• Mundane Utility: Their cosmic rings are used a lot on their daily lives to do mundane tasks like helping around in the diner. Season 2's added stones like super speed stones and multiple arms that are also used for it.
• Personality Powers: The team's personalities lend themselves well to their respective rings: Kid is hyperactive and rather airheaded, Jo wants to see the world, Rosa wishes to be big, and Papa G is always willing to lend a hand. It's Downplayed, however, since theoretically any of them could pick any one of the rings.
• Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: They're a quirky bunch, and certainly not the types of people you'd expect to be wielding powerful stones. Tuna Sandwich even namedrops this trope when describing the team.
• Super-Speed: Another stone the team gets in season 2, Jo and Flo both use it.
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: As indicated by Papa G's signature line: "Heroes help not hurt" their main goal is to save lives, beating up bad guys is more means to an end should that be the only option to deal with a problem.
• Two Girls to a Team: Jo and Rosa, in the original team.
• Unwitting Pawn: The Biker in Black and his cronies were aware of Kid and the other Local Heroes having the Stones the entire time, but he let them keep them to use the group as "guinea pigs" to test how safe they were to use, and how to use them, before the Earth Force Enforcement Force was ready, viewing the aliens they were fighting as no real threat.

The Kid/Kid Cosmic

Kid Cosmic

"Have no fear, Kid Cosmic is here!"

Voiced by: Jack Fisher

A young boy who desires to be a hero like the ones in his comic books. He comes across the stones and glues them to hex nuts, making them rings.

---

• Adorably Precocious Child: Let's just say he's really into being a superhero.
• All Your Powers Combined: Kid takes all the team’s rings and uses them when the Great Leader’s army invades. However, the power proves to be too much and backfires when Kid tries using all of them at once.
• Ascended Fanboy: An avid comic book reader who idolizes superheroes and jumps at the chance to become one after stumbling upon five cosmic stones.
• Boisterous Weakling: He's the first to jump into confronting danger but has the power with the least offensive ability as well as general ineptitude fighting in the first place.
• Catchphrase:
  • "Freakin' out, breathe it out" - usually repeated as a mantra that Papa G taught him to help calm himself down when he loses his temper.
  • He also has a less used, but notable catchphase, "Have no fear! Kid Cosmic is here!"
• Character Development: In the beginning of the first season, he's a well-meaning kid, but he's immature, a little self-centered, obsessed with his place as the team's leader and believes that being a hero equates to how much power and physical strength one has. Over the course of the season, he learns to trust his friends, help others and learn that being a hero isn't about raising a fist— it's about extending a hand. In the Season 1 finale, he recognizes that Jo is suited to be the team's leader over him, because he's grown to realize that she is more mature and capable.
• Confusion Fu: During the battle with Earth Force Enforcement Force, Crimson Vision tries to use his psychic powers to tell Violet Vanish where to place a portal. He can't pick a place to solidly put it, because Kid is so wild and all over the place that he can't predict Kid's next action.
  Kid: Ha! That's my power! [jerks around haphazardly midair] Woah! I don't know what I'm doing!
• The Cuckoolander Was Right: At the beginning of the show, most people viewed Kid's obsessions with aliens and superheroes as either annoying or amusing and wrote them off as pure make believe. Even Jo found him to be a joke until he showed her the stones.
• Dark and Troubled Past: His parents were killed in a car accident, leaving him to be raised by his grandfather.
• Deceased Parents Are the Best: Kid's parents died in a car accident when he was little. Kid lived, but this is such a huge source of trauma for him that he decided to become a hero so he could save others to make up for how he couldn't save his parents.
• Discard and Draw: In the season two premiere he losses his original stone but gains a stone that turns his body into slime.
• Drunk on Milk: In "Kid Cosmic and the Soul Kroshing Loss," he drowns his sorrows with Root Beer floats and gets confrontational when Flo and Hamburg attempt to cut him off.
• Establishing Character Moment: His trailer sees him excitedly running down the road so he can fly, but he has a hard time controlling his flight path. This lets the audience know that while Kid loves having powers, he still doesn't quite have them under control.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Everyone calls him Kid, but it is ambiguous as to whether or not that's his actual name or a nickname.
• Everyone Has Standards: He doesn't like Rosa much in the beginning, but he still moves her out of the road in Episode 1.
• Eye Glasses: His goggles are expressive.
• The Face: Though he sees himself as The Leader at first, this is his true position in the team, as the charming, social member who tends to stay up front and do the talking. To the point when Queen Xhan returns to ask for help in defeating Erodius, she acknowledges Jo as the leader, but specifically says they need Kid Cosmic .
• Flight: His power ring gives him the ability to fly. Actually the true power of the stone is based on telekinesis, which flight is just a part of.
• Gadgeteer Genius: A Season 3 flashback shows that he almost managed to build his bicycle at a very young age.
• Genre Savvy: In the Season 1 finale, Kid rightfully points out that the Biker in Black is just trying to use him based on the tropes he's seen in comic books, and declines his offer.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a pretty long stitch mark across his abdomen similar to an appendectomy scar, though it's not mentioned how he got it. It's hinted that he got it in the car accident that killed his parents.
• Harmless Liquefaction: After losing the telekinesis stone, he's been forced to use the goo stone instead, which turns him into a pile of goo.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: In season 2, an early altercation with Fantos gets him to lose the green stone and get the Goo Stone (which is a different shade of green), he ends up spending most of the season with the power to turn himself into a malleable, prehensile goo, a power everyone considers gross and he hates it. However, in the end, this turns out to be the key power to save Earth. By turning into goo, the local heroes manage to get to the center of Erodius and explode it from the inside. Too bad all that turns out to be a mere illusion.
• Hero with an F in Good: He tries his best to be a hero, but during the first few episodes he's not very good at being a hero.
• Hot-Blooded: His first instinct towards danger, against better judgement, is to fight it.
• I Call Her "Vera": Named his bicycle Spitfire.
• Identical Grandson: In a Season 3 flashback, it's shown that Kid looked just like a young Papa G, but with longer hair.
• I Just Want to Be Badass: He really dislikes being cast into the comic relief role and wants nothing more than to be a hero.
• Insistent Terminology: Kid's very quick to correct people on the terminology for the aliens, monsters and situations with which they're faced; happily asserting that alien 'bears' are actually 'demon death dogs... of doom', since that's how he understands them.
• It's All About Me: Initially and for the better part of the first season, Kid seems unhappy having to share the Rings with others and sees himself as the true hero despite the least effective. This makes him easy to manipulate by Chuck.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In spite of his ego and at times overbearing behavior, he really does just want to help people and save the planet.
• Kid Hero: At least, he TRIES to be.
• The Lancer: Settles into this role upon allowing Jo to become the new leader of the team.
• Leader Wannabe: Kid believes himself to be the leader of the team and initially views the others as his sidekicks. When the townsfolk call Jo the leader of the team and label Kid as the "comic relief" he's incredibly disheartened. By the first season finale, he's matured enough to acknowledge that Jo, being the most intelligent and mature member of the team, should be their real leader.
• Leitmotif: A lyricless version of "The Kid" (by the Fake Band Dr. Fang and The Gang) plays whenever he's seen gearing up into action. It's primarily associated with him.
• The Load: Deconstructed. He's aware that he isn't as useful as his teammates, which gives him a hefty dose of self-doubt. However, this ends up getting Reconstructed as he eventually matures enough to become a team player and more of an asset.
• Malaproper: Keeps mispronouncing telekinesis.
• Mind over Matter: This is the actual power the stone gives him, though he doesn't figure this out until the final episode.
• Mr. Vice Guy: By the halfway point of the first season, Kid has allowed his ego and inability to accept help get to him greatly. However, learning from his mistakes and going through a good amount of Character Development helps him to eventually become a real hero by the finale of Season 1.
• Not Quite Flight: Turns out his stone's power isn't flight, it's telekinesis. His "flight" is essentially just levitating his hand, which explains his poor control. In the season one finale he figures out how to fully utilize his power to levitate himself and others.
• One-Man Army: Is able to use all five rings by himself while taking on Chuck and the Great Leader's army. Unfortunately, he is is unable to use them all at once.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is unknown. Literally everyone calls him Kid, even his grandfather.
• Power Misidentification: His ring's actual power is general telekinesis, the only reason his power initially only allowed him to flight was because of his own impulsiveness.
• Prone to Vomiting: Despite his flying powers, he is shown to get airsick easily.
• Raised by Grandparents: Raised by his grandfather, Papa G, after his parents died in a car crash.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's the fearless and impulsive Red Oni to Jo's blue.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He's a good kid, but he does have a swollen head. He first thought of the rest of the Local Heroes as the "Super Sidekicks" and himself as the team's leader. Thanks to Character Development, he later grows out of this.
• Strong Family Resemblance: He really looks like his mother, but he gets his face shape from his father.
• Token Flyer: Kid was the only member of the team that could use flight since it was the power his gem gave him. Though we find out later, that it's really telekinesis.
• Trauma Button: The death of his mom and dad.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: A downplayed example: Kid is actually very well versed in superhero comics and their tropes. It's just that they rarely work out in actual dangerous situations.

Jo

Johanna/Portal Girl

"This isn't the comics, Kid! This is real life and we're about to die!!"

Voiced by: Amanda Céline Miller

A teen working at Mo's Oasis. Kid entrusts her with the purple stone, allowing her to create portals.

---

• Achievements in Ignorance: She's the first member of the team proper who discovers her ring's true power, and in doing so takes her to the skies.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: In the first episode, after gaining a ring of power and finding out about the existence of evil alien invaders, Jo goes from lamenting how nothing ever happens in her hometown to being terrified that her hometown has become a place where too much is happening.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows: Her eyebrows are thick and bean-shaped.
• Closer to Earth: Acts as the voice of reason for the team for the most part.
• Cool Big Sis: She acts like a big sister to Kid and Rosa. It helps that she's a babysitter to Rosa.
• Cowardly Lion: While she still enjoys being a superhero, she tends to panic the most out of the team.
• Disappeared Dad: Her father's nowhere to be found, but unlike Kid's parents, we don't know if he's dead or just out of the picture.
• Don't Tell Mama: She agrees to be a superhero and fight evil aliens on the strict condition that her mom never find out because she's worried Flo would kill her.
• Family Theme Naming: With her mother Flo and grandmother Mo.
• Fantasy-Forbidding Parent: As Jo predicted, when Flo found out about her daughter's powers and the intergalactic threats she's been facing, Flo forbids Jo from being a hero. But with no other alternatives, Jo leads the team against the demon dogs, proving herself to Flo who becomes much more accepting of the idea.
• Hypercompetent Sidekick: Kid views himself as the leader of the team and Jo as his "sidekick." However, Jo's maturity and level-headedness makes her come across as a much more qualified leader of the Local Heroes, to the point where everyone in town naturally assume she's the one in-charge when the team's powers are revealed. Kid officially acknowledges her as the real leader of the team in the first season finale.
• I Just Want to Be Free: All Jo wants is to go outside and see the world. Her boring station in life as a waitress in the middle of nowhere, the tedious patrons at the cafe and the lack of many peers her age just drag her down.
• Jerkass Realization: After being betrayed by Krosh, and Fantos rubbing his near-victory in front of her face before leaving her for dead on a desert planet, Jo finally realizes Queen Xhan’s horrible philosophy has almost cost her everything: her mom, friends, home and powers, she angrily renounces Xhan’s philosophy, destroys her notes on it, and sadly laments on her mistakes as she passes out in tears.
• The Leader: Due to Jo's competence and commanding presence, after the team's superpowers are exposed, everyone in town views Jo as the leader of the team with Kid as the "comic relief," much to the latter's chagrin. Kid eventually acknowledges that Jo really is the best candidate for the job and gives her his full support.
• The Lancer: She contrasts Kid's upbeat personality with her cautiousness. Drops this trope entirely upon being fully upgraded to being the leader of the team.
• Limited Wardrobe: Jo never takes off her apron and visor even though most of the time we see her she's not on the clock.
• Mundane Utility: One short has her using her portals to travel to Paris for some pastries and coffee.
• The Nicknamer: She's the one who gave "Stuck Chuck" his Earth nickname.
• Nice Girl: While she has her moments of being rough around the edges, she's easily one of the biggest sources of moral support for the team besides Papa G.
• Not So Above It All: Despite being closer to Earth than Kid, she is excited to obtain a superpowered ring, and likes the idea of having superpowers.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Season 2 reveals her full name is Johanna.
• Only Sane Woman: Has a better head on her shoulders than the rest of the team. She's not recklessly confident like Kid, or aloof like Papa G, and is far more mature than the younger Rosa.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: She is the mature and levelheaded blue Oni to Kid's red.
• The Reliable One: She's the most overworked and reliable worker in Mo's Oasis due to the staff only having two waitresses, one being her mom, something which she resents dearly because of the tedium. Once the rings come into play, Jo frequently has to keep tabs on each member to propose reasonable courses of action contrasting Kid's bullheaded, poorly-thought out demands.
• Small Town Boredom: Her first scene has Jo scrolling through pictures of exotic places on her phone and groaning about her job in her mother's diner because of how nothing exciting ever happens in town. Her initial plan for using her ring is to travel the world, until she finds out what's at stake.
• Supporting Leader: Despite Kid being The Hero and protagonist, ironically it's Jo's handling of responsibilities, ability to think quick and complementing each teammate's abilities as well as headstrong determination in seeing every single obstacle with them what pegs her in the others' eyes as team leader, despite never proclaiming or wanting the title.
• Thinking Up Portals: Her power ring gives her this ability just as long as she has a location in mind.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: In season 2, the pressure of having to face Erodius, on top of Queen Xhan's "guidance", causes Jo to become a lot more impatient and abrasive towards her teammates and family.
• Walking the Earth: At the beginning it is shown she REALLY wants to travel and when she realized what her ring could do, her first thought is that she could use it to explore the planet.

Rosa

Rosa Flores/La Niña Gigantica/Big Little Girl

"Niña Gigantica!"

Voiced by: Lily Rose Silver

A four-year-old girl who steals the blue stone from Kid. Using it, she can grow to giant-size.

---

• The Ace: In spite of being the youngest, she's the member of the team with the best control over her powers. This is what leads her to earn several medals in "Kid Cosmic and the Local Heroes".
• And Call Him "George": Especially in Episode 2, where Rosa's attempts at "playtime" after growing into a forty-foot giant pose a threat to both the town and to Kid and Jo's lives.
• Annoying Younger Sibling: Rosa acts like this in a metaphorical sense to Kid. Rosa is a young child who wants to play, and Kid doesn't want to play with her or for her to be on the team because she's little and could get hurt. Kid warms up to her as the series progresses.
• The Baby of the Bunch: The youngest member of the team.
• Badass Adorable: A very cute four-year-old girl with the power to become humongous and wreck everything in her path.
• Badass Normal: Even when she isn't using her powers in Episode 2, she's able to go toe-to-toe with Chuck, who at this point has used the yellow Cosmic Stone to clone himself.
• Berserk Button: Just don’t call her little, or a baby, should you do you find out why not the hard way.
• Blood Knight: Noticeably flashes a smile whenever she's smashing alien invaders and when motivated is very enthusiastic about beating up evildoers, to the point Papa G has to rein her in at times.
• Blue Is Heroic: She's associated with the color blue, and she's part of the Local Heroes.
• The Big Guy: Although she's technically the smallest of the team, she fills the role of team muscle because her ability to become a giant makes her the strongest member of the team.
• Big Ol' Unibrow: She sports a unibrow.
• Cassandra Truth: Because she's a child, she a) doesn't really understand that the Local Heroes are supposed to be keeping the rings secret and b) is rarely believed when she says anything about them.
• Cheerful Child: She's a happy innocent child who remains upbeat even with the many dangers the team faces.
• Childish Tooth Gap: She has a gap in her teeth.
• Cute Bruiser: Demonstrated in Episode 2, she is capable of fighting off an army of Chuck clones before becoming big again.
• Establishing Character Moment: In her character trailer, she instantly goes outside to play once her parents take their eyes off her, emphasizing her carefree, energetic attitude. Within the series, she debuts trying to play with Kid and getting frustrated when he doesn't. And when she gets her hand on one of the stones and grows giant, she decides to play around as a giant.
• Genki Girl: One would wonder how someone so small could be so full of playful energy and enthusiasm.
• Giant Equals Invincible: Part of what makes her the strongest member of the team is that once she goes giant, nothing seems to be capable of actually hurting her.
• Giant Girl: Rosa's main superpower.
• Goo-Goo-Godlike: Rosa is the youngest member of the team capable of transforming into a giant version of herself.
• Ironic Name: With a name like Rosa, you'd think she'd wear pinks or reds. Instead, she's associated with the color blue.
• Kid Hero: Even younger than Kid and just as motivated to fight evil as him, as well as equally interested in playing around.
• Little Miss Badass: Rosa is the strongest member of the core team, and at least in Season 1, definitely has the highest body count among the heroes.
• Lonely Rich Kid: Lives in a mansion on a gated compound, and tends to latch on to Kid, always wanting to play with him.
• Mundane Utility: In her Local Heroes short, she uses the size-shifting ability to help her escape her home and explore the desert.
• Phrase Catcher: "Rosa, it's playtime!", whenever the group needs her to grow big.
• Simple, yet Awesome: All her ring does is make her a giant, which is rather lowkey compared to what everybody else does. However, since she also becomes outright unstoppable in this form, she's pretty much the most effective member of the Local Heroes, further demonstrated by her getting a big streak of reward medals singlehandedly stopping many invaders.
• Spoiled Sweet: Her parents appear to be the richest people in town and pamper her constantly. She’s still a sweetheart.
• True Blue Femininity: Wears a blue dress and her Cosmic Stone is also blue.
• Vocal Evolution: In later seasons, her voice is less raspy and she speaks in complete sentences more often.

Papa G

George/"Papa G"/Old Man Many Men

"Heroes help, not hurt."

Voiced by: Keith Ferguson

Kid's grandfather, whom he lives with. He has the yellow stone, which allows him to create duplicates of himself.

---

• Badass Pacifist: He dislikes violence and will gladly help and comfort enemies once they're beaten, but by no means is he a pushover.
• Chain of People: Does this with his clones in his short to grab onto Kid before he lands face first into a cactus.
• Clones Are People, Too: While expendable in the end, he still feels for each one at times and does show a little bit of disturbance when one is killed in horrific manners.
• Cool Old Guy: Acts as such to this team, caring for them all and always trying to support and help them feel better. He can also be very reliable with his clones, even if he's not much of a fighter
• Expendable Clone: Zigzagged. He has no physical or mental traumas from his clones getting hurt and can sacrifice many to help his friends and town. That said, he still treats them well as his own kin and can recognize them by number. Plus, the understanding that his clones die frequently can leave him pretty numb.
• Expy: With his orange shirt, green hat with a star pin and his peace-loving attitude even towards foes, he resembles an elderly Wander both in looks and character traits. He also has the Mysterious Past and Vague Age angles of Wander with it being implied that there's more to him than meets the eye. Ironically, he's voiced by Keith Ferguson, who voiced the character who hates Wander's guts, Lord Hater.
• Feeling Their Age: After giving up the fourteenth stone, Papa G is no longer as spry as he used to be and is confined to a wheelchair. He basically becomes as physically active as you would expect someone who is in their hundreds to be, which is not that much.
• Gadgeteer Genius: He is noticeably pretty inventive. He created a giant gauntlet-type thing for Kid to try and get a win on in "Kid Cosmic and the Local Heroes", at least before it got destroyed by a doom portal.
• Generation Xerox: As a child, he looked (and acted) almost exactly like his grandson.
• The Heart: He fills this role in the team, acting as the team's moral support and encouraging them to be kind even to enemies.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Papa G gives up the fourteenth stone to save the Earth despite the fact that he had no guarantee he would live after losing the healing effects it had on his body. He survives giving up the fourteenth stone but is confined to a wheelchair and it’s clear he doesn’t have much time left.
• Lies to Children: On the occasion he's lied to people, it's been to Kid and Rosa, such as when he told Rosa that a bunch of dead spacemen were "sleeping".
• Lying to Protect Your Feelings: A bad habit of his, such as when he fakes a win for Kid just so the boy can feel better about himself. In Season 3, he's the first one to pick up on the fact that they're all in a Lotus-Eater Machine but doesn't tell Kid or anyone else because he wants him to be happy and live out his ideal life.
• Martial Pacifist: Papa G will fight if he has to, but no more than necessary. In his mind, heroes help, not hurt. He also shows no hesitation to help enemies once they're beaten and prefers to part with them on friendly terms.
• Me's a Crowd: With the yellow stone's power he can make copies of himself for various tasks such as distracting foes, fighting or simply doing things such as making a whole filming crew or repairing buildings.
• Mundane Utility: One short has him use his clones to help create a barbecue party with lights and balloons and even create different types of safeguards for Kid when his flight powers go out of control. Within the series he also uses his powers to make a whole filming crew to record the heroes' adventures for Kid and help repair Flo's restaurant.
• Mysterious Past: According to the government, he has a file, and it's a LONG one.
• Nice Guy: He's a kindly old man who wants everyone to be happy and get along. He gladly joins Kid's adventures in spite of the immense danger they pose, and always tries to lift everyone's spirits.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: After every other member of the team proves their worth against the invaders they face, Papa G tries to "give the Kid a win" by dressing his clones up as a robot army and letting the Kid beat them in a fight. While cheering Kid up briefly, the ruse is caught on camera and Chuck uses the tape to completely break the Kid's spirit, motivating the Kid to let Chuck summon the Great Leader to earth so the Kid can fight him and prove himself a genuine hero. All of these results in Kid losing the rings, the rings being taken by the Biker in Black, the team being put under surveillance by the government and Kid running away with his spirits and self-esteem broken.
• Older Than They Look: In "Kid Cosmic and the Epic Win", a picture of Flo when she was a young girl shows Papa G looking exactly the way he does in the present day. He's 112 years old in reality.
• Outliving One's Offspring: In "Kid Cosmic and the Little Spark," he mentions having at least two sons, and considering that he's over a century old due to his healing crystal, his kids are long gone.
• Raised by Grandparents: Papa G has been raising his grandson the Kid ever since the boy's parents died in a car accident.
• Really 700 Years Old: He turns out to be more than a hundred and has lived for so long via the 14th stone.
• Token Adult: The only adult of the team.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: He adapts to all the weirdness going on like it's nothing, be it aliens, demon dogs, spaceships, robots. The Biker in Black heavily implies that he's Seen It All with his long profile that the government has on him. That, along with his ancient age, may mean that he's already lived through similar events and therefore finds nothing unusual in the present ones.
• Vague Age: When asked about the ages of the Local Heroes on Twitter, Craig McCracken gave the ages of Kid, Jo, Rosa and Tuna Sandwich but simply stated "I can't talk about Papa G". A Freeze-Frame Bonus in "Kid Cosmic and the Epic Win" shows that Papa G looked exactly the way he did today when Flo was a young child, implying he's way Older Than He Looks. In "Kid Cosmic and the Planet Killer", he reveals himself to be 112 years old, kept youthful (well, relatively speaking) thanks to the 14th stone that he unknowingly kept as a lucky charm since he was a kid.
• We Have Reserves: A lot of dark comedy comes from Papa G using his clones as Cannon Fodder against whatever threats the team goes up against, with his clones being killed in over the top ways while screaming for dear life, with him unfased and nonplused by all that happens to them.

Tuna Sandwich

Tuna Sandwich/The Precognitive Cat

Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore

A stray cat who lives at Mo's Oasis, whom Kid gives the red stone to. This way, he is able to predict the future.

---

• Action Pet: While he's technically a stray, he still faces down threats alongside the rest of the Local Heroes.
• Animals Lack Attributes: Averted. He's drawn with a visible x-shaped anus.
• Babies Ever After: The series finale features Tuna reuniting with the alien cat from Boss Fiosa's party who reveals that he's a father of three kittens. Thankfully he embraces her and his little mutant babies.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: He has Undying Loyalty to Kid because when he was a starving kitten, Kid cared for him, starting by feeding him a tuna sandwich and has done so ever since.
• Big Ol' Unibrow: Weirdly enough, he has one. 90% of the time, the unibrow is furrowed over his eyes.
• Cats Are Lazy: Played with. While Tuna Sandwich may like eating and lounging around, he carries his weight when the time calls for it, crossing deserts on his own and fighting aliens all in the name of saving his teammates and the Kid.
• Establishing Character Moment: His character trailer sees him napping in Mo's Café all day, humorously interacting with the various patrons. However, he then receives a vision of the future of himself at the vet, which causes him to scramble out of there before Jo can put him in a cat carrier to take him there. From there, people can get an insight into three things that matter about Tuna: He's a lazy cat, he's got future sight and if the cat is motivated by something, he'll scramble out to get to it, no matter what it takes.
• Loyal Animal Companion: To Kid, and the rest of the team by extension.
• Motor Mouth: When he receives the translator, he becomes quite the talker.
• Mundane Utility: His Local Heroes short has him use his future sight to escape a vet appointment.
• Never Learned to Read: Implied, since he still brought the notes written by Chuck and Rosa to Jo despite the obvious flaw in it. Makes sense since he's a cat.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Somehow managed to save the group from a massive doom portal, and earned a Hero Medal for doing so. Too bad the camera went out during the fight, so we don't get to see how it happened.
  Jo: That was unbelievable and indescribable! You absolutely had to be there! And no explanation would ever do it justice!
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Inverted; his red eyes are a sign of him using his powers and he's one of the heroes.
• Red Is Heroic: He's a heroic cat associated with the red stone.
• Precision F-Strike: "Hot damn!" It's the only swear said in the show and he says it three times, first after being given Chuck's translator, then after Mo's Oasis is teleported into space in Episode 10, then in the final moments of Season 3's final episode.
• Seers: His power is to see into the future, usually when danger's about to strike.
• The Smart Guy: Serves this role in the team. Despite being a cat, it's not as far-fetched as it sounds. He's the smartest due to his future vision, and once he's given Chuck's translator, he proves to be quite thoughtful and eloquent.
• Suddenly Voiced: He gains the ability to speak in Episode 7 from Chuck's translator.
• Team Pet: The token animal of the team.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Tuna sandwiches, as his name implies. He'll swat away bowls of cat food in order to eat pieces of tuna sandwiches instead. It's revealed he prefers them because Kid gave one to him when he was a starving kitten.
• Undying Loyalty: Has this towards Kid Cosmic when Kid saved and fed him when he was a stray kitten to the point that he'll risk his life to keep Kid safe.

Mo's Oasis Cafe

Flo

Flo/Fantastic Flo

Voiced by: Kim Yarborough

Jo's mother and the owner of Mo's Oasis.

• Ascended Extra: She gets more screentime and character development in season 2 as she tries to help her daughter in becoming a good leader.
• Family Business: She owns a diner opened up by her mother and has her daughter work for her as her waitress. Which causes tension between the two of them since Jo doesn't like working at the place.
• Family Theme Naming: Flo is the daughter of Mo and the mother of Jo.
• Fantasy-Forbidding Parent: The reason Jo doesn't want her mother to know she's a superhero is because she knows her mom would never allow it.

• The Power of Love: She follows her mother's principles of showing compassion and understanding to those around her, which she showcases to the customers of her diner. It's because of her hospitality that various groups of aliens from Season 2 band together to rescue her and her friends from the Planet Killer Erodius.
• Parents as People: She really loves her daughter, but her strict behavior and preferrence for non-violence at times alienates Jo and causes her to seek out "cooler" figures such as Xhan and Krosh who all more immediately "understand" Jo, she eventually starts learning how to better know her daughter and is able to fully integrate into her growth as a leader.
• Slime Girl: In Season 3, she ends up inheriting the Goo stone and proves to be very effective in using it.

• Wrong Genre Savvy: He thinks I.R.I.S. (a robot) is a vampire.

Fry & Hamburg

Fry & Hamburg/Curly Fry & Quarter Pounder

That's Hamburg on the left and Fry on the right.

Voiced by: Eric Bauza (Fry), Fred Tatasciore (Hamburg)

Two employees of Mo's Oasis Cafe who work in the kitchen.

---

• Ascended Extra: They get far more of a role in season 2, moreso after gaining cosmic stones of their own to fight with.
• Comically Missing the Point: After Rosa turns into a giant and blows several Demon Dogs away just by landing, Hamburg says that this explains why there have been so many earthquakes lately. Fry doesn't get it and asks why.
• Companion Cube: For some reason, Hamburg sleeps with his spatula.
• The Ditz: Fry is especially oblivious to just about everything happening around him. Hamburg seems somewhat smarter.
• Edible Theme Naming: They're named after (french) fries and hamburg(ers).
• Gratuitous German: Hamburg does this sometimes.
• Incredibly Lame Fun: In "Kid Cosmic and the Heist of Fire and Ice", Hamburg is seen excitedly bobbing up and down next to an orchestra playing, and remarks on how "wild" he's getting.
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Hamburg receives the multiple arms Stone of Power.
• Rubber Man: Fry receives the stretching Stone of Power.
• Those Two Guys: Often seen together, both in the kitchen and out.
• Verbal Tic: Everything Fry says is a barely-audible mumble.

Aliens

Stuck Chuck (Unmarked Season 1 Spoilers!)

"Stuck" Chuck/Pain Drain

Voiced by: Tom Kenny

A Klaxian invader who comes to Earth in search of the stones. However, he ends up getting trapped in Kid's trailer.

---

• Affably Evil: He does get along well with Rosa, playing pretend with her and allowing her to tie ribbons onto his antennae. It doesn't take much for him to pull a Heel–Face Turn once he sees how much of a coward his boss is.
• Aliens Speaking English: Amusingly, he has to cycle through a few languages on his translator before Kid and Jo can understand him. Played straight after his Heel–Face Turn, when he reveals that he can speak (broken, strained) English on his own.
• Appropriated Appellation: "Stuck Chuck" starts out as little more than a nickname, but Chuck eventually adopts it as his name. It's unknown what his real name is.
• The Atoner: After willingly giving up his translator to Tuna Sandwich, Chuck begins talking in broken English, admitting that while it physically hurts him to speak that way, he deserves the pain for everything he put Kid through. He then spends the rest of the season teaming up with the heroes as atonement for his evil deeds and to help Kid.
• Beware the Silly Ones: While he's silly and often inept, Chuck can prove deadly and cunning when he puts his mind into being just that.
• Bizarre Alien Biology: Not only can his species survive dismemberment and keep fighting, but their tongues secrete a substance that knocks out anyone they come in contact with. In addition, his teeth are very easy to dislodge but evidently they grow back easily.
• Broken Pedestal: He used to idolize the Great Leader of his people but after seeing his cowardice and realizing the bumbling child he'd been mocking all season is braver than the master he served, Chuck renounces all connections to the Great Leader and joins forces with the heroes.
• Card-Carrying Villain: In Episode 1, he freely admits to being evil and relates to the super villains in Kid's comics, even if he does think they're "unrealistic." Ironically, during a bit of Evil Gloating in Episode 6, Chuck shows a more introspective side, saying everyone views themselves as the hero of their own story, and that once he helps his master conquer Earth, Chuck will be the hero for his side.
• Deadpan Snarker: Chuck spends most of his screen time in the first season dishing out sarcastic comments to Kid and his team for all their perceived failings. After his Heel–Face Turn he redirects them towards his enemies and drops them entirely towards the heroes.
• Demoted to Extra: In Season 2 he becomes a minor character and has very few lines. He has more presence in Season 3.
• The Determinator: He refuses to let anything stop him from carrying out his mission to find the stones. Not getting stuck in a trailer, not losing his legs, nothing.
• Disc-One Final Boss: Introduced initially as The Heavy and Arc Villain of the first season, serving as the primary villain of the first 3 episodes, then acting as a thorn in the team's side for the next 3 when he is forced to join them, but The Great Leader's embarrassing defeat in "Kid Cosmic and the Epic Fail" leads to him pulling a Heel–Face Turn, with the Biker in Black taking over the position of the true villain of the season for the remaining episodes.
• Even Evil Has Standards:
  • He regards Kid's dismissals of Rosa as being cold and even though he's playing along with her games to be as much of a hidrance as he can, he never snaps at her directly during them.
  • He's even offended by Kid stealing the rings from the Local Heroes in order to take down the Great Leader all by himself. Because he's a good guy, Kid shouldn't be doing something like this.
• Feel No Pain: He gets the pain absorption Stone of Power.
• Finger Poke of Doom: The pain absorption stone is capable of unleashing all the absorbed pain with just a touch.
• The Gadfly: He spends his time on Earth primarily to try and to crush Kid's spirit. After his Heel–Face Turn he drops this, instead seeking to make amends with Kid.
• Half the Man He Used to Be: Loses his body from the waist down in Episode 3. Though he's not bothered by it since his species has no other use for their lower halves anyway.
• Healing Hands: He can use the pain absorption stone to absorb the pain of others, healing their injuries instantly.
• The Heavy: He's only a bog-standard mook in the grand scheme of the Great Leader's army but he moves the plot along for most of the first season in his efforts to summon his master to earth so they can conquer it.
• Heel–Face Turn: After the events of Episode 6, he joins Kid's team, betrayed and disappointed by his Leader's cowardice and finding himself awed by Kid's bravery.
• Kick the Dog: He uses the death of Kid's parents as a way of trying to goad Kid into calling his Great Leader to Earth and succeeds.
• Klingons Love Shakespeare: He frequently reads Kid's comics, partially because he had nothing better to do while stuck in his trailer. In Season 3, he has a lot of knowledge of them and tries to use that to his advantage in "Kid Cosmic and the Global Conspiracy".
  Chuck: I was stuck in that floor for a long time. These comics were my only friends.
• Leitmotif: Associated with "Galactic Interference" by the Fake Band Dr. Fang and the Gang. It usually plays when he's getting himself into the fray.
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: When his Great Leader cruelly leaves him behind on Earth, he pulls a Heel–Face Turn and joins the humans, also motivated by Kid's bravery which leads to his disillusionment with his entire past faction.
• Must Make Amends: After joining the local heroes he vows to make up to Kid for all his jerkassery and cruelty in any way he can.
• Non-Humans Lack Attributes: He implies that he doesn't have genitalia (or at least, not where genitalia is usually located) in Episode 3, as he laughs off getting cut in half due to not having anything important below the waist.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: "Stuck Chuck" was a moniker given to him by Jo. He then starts to answer to the name, and later refers to himself as Chuck.
• Rhyming Names: Stuck Chuck.
• Sixth Ranger: He joins Kid Cosmic and the Local Heroes from Episode 7 onwards to help the heroes defeat the Biker in Black and to make amends for his antagonistic behavior.
• Those Two Guys: Spends alot of time with Carla in Season 3.
• Vocal Evolution: When he first starts speaking without his translator he speaks in a slow, enunciated way, showing how much pain he's in just from doing so. By Season 2, however, he speaks much more naturally while still keeping the "alien" style voice.
• Would Harm a Senior: In Episode 2, he knocks out Papa G with a crowbar to the head.
• Would Hurt a Child: He doesn't have any qualms about killing children for the sake of his mission, be they teenagers (Jo), kids (Kid), or toddlers (Rosa).
• You No Take Candle: He talks this way in Episode 7 onward, after giving his translator to Tuna Sandwich. He reveals he could always speak English without the translator, but it hurts his throat to do so.

The Great Leader

The Great Leader

Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore

The ruler of the Klaxian Empire whose forces try to steal the cosmic stones in the first episode. After being separated from the stones by a portal, the Great Leader remains unaware of their location. Chuck, a stranded Klaxian soldier, spends the first season trying to summon him to earth so the Great Leader may seize the stones and conquer the galaxy.

---

• Big Bad Wannabe: He's one of many evil alien invaders who wants to steal the stones so he can use them to conquer the galaxy, and the forces at his disposal are a genuine threat. The Great Leader himself, however, is a total coward who surrenders the stones at the first sign of danger and flees back home rather than risk his own life.
• Dirty Coward: Even after the Great Leader has all five cosmic stones in his hand and all their power at his disposal, a single "demon dog" pouncing on him is enough to make him beg for mercy, surrender the stones, and immediately abandon his conquest of earth. Chuck is so disillusioned by his leader's cowardice that he immediately defects to the heroes.
• Disc-One Final Boss: Chuck spends most of the first season trying to summon the Great Leader to earth so he can seize the cosmic stones and take over the planet and it was the Great Leader's pursuit of them that led to the Stones falling on Earth. When he does show up, his forces put up a strong fight, but once the Great Leader is personally put in danger, he turns tail and runs back home. As soon as he's gone, the Biker in Black proves himself to be the true Arc Villain of the first season.
• Evil Is Petty: Strands Chuck on Earth, seemingly just out of spite for being humilliated.
• Feet of Clay: He's built up as a true threat like he'll be the Big Bad. As soon as he gets in real danger from the Demon Dogs he panics and runs away.
• Galactic Conqueror: He's the ruler of the Klaxian Empire and intends to use the cosmic stones to conquer the galaxy.
• Kick the Dog: When Chuck tries to return home with his leader, he steps on his fingers and allows him to fall with no remorse.
• The Man Behind the Curtain: The Great Leader, the feared ruler of the Klaxian Empire, built up by Chuck as the bravest and most powerful creature who ever lived turns out to be a spineless wimp who turns tail and runs the second he's personally in danger.
• Paper Tiger: A huge intimidating figure with a full on military leader outfit, complete with Badass Cape and (alien) skull decoration who is a complete and utter wimp that folds when face with actual danger. To put how wimpy he is in perspective, it only took one Demon Dog to get him to surrender (while having all 5 rings) and run away. Meanwhile the Local Heroes and even Chuck (one of his Mooks) stood up and resisted against multiple Demon Dogs without having multiple rings or sometimes any at all.
• Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: Being mauled by a demon dog is all it takes to make the Great Leader abandon his pursuit of the stones and his conquest of Earth, retreating to the safety of his home world.
• Ungrateful Bastard: Even though Chuck has devoted his life to serving the Great Leader and literally lost half of his body doing so, the Great Leader still doesn't give him an ounce of respect. Not even when Chuck summons him to Earth and reveals the location of the cosmic stones does the Great Leader so much as thank him, and when the Great Leader is forced to retreat in disgrace, he abandons Chuck on Earth for seemingly no reason other than petty spite.
• Vocal Dissonance: Cuts a very tall and intimidating figure, with dark armor decorated with alien skulls, but when his translator device is accidentally activated his voice is high-pitched, panicky and decidedly un-regal.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: When the Great Leader decides to abandon Earth and return home without the stones, rather than take Chuck with him, he throws his loyal follower off the rising platform taking them both back to the mothership, stranding him on earth for seemingly no reason other than spite.

Erodius (Unmarked Spoilers!)

Erodius the Planet Killer/Erodious

A mysterious and indescribably gigantic alien entity that created the cosmic stones of power by destroying the homeworlds of aliens whose natural abilities match the powers bestowed by each stone. It was thought to have vanished from the galaxy, only to return in the first season finale.

---

• All Your Colors Combined: Viewed from a distance all the colors of the planets it's consumed can be observed to be swirled around its surface.
• All Your Powers Combined: Has evidently absorbed the powers of the planets the stones originated from.
• Ambiguous Situation: Why did it suddenly disappear and then reappear after the survivors got their stones back and what was it doing before they did is unknown.
• Anti-Villain: Once a sentient planet with healing properties, all it wanted was to reform itself. Unfortunately, to do so it destroyed countless worlds in the process until the 14th stone restored it.
• Became Their Own Antithesis: Erodius used to be a planet beings traveled to from all over the galaxy to be healed by its crystals. Now it travels the universe spreading suffering by destroying worlds.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: Along with Fantos, Erodius serves as the main antagonist of the second and third seasons.
• Body of Bodies: Erodius absorbs the planets that it destroys into its surface.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To the Great Leader of the Klaxians, the overarching Arc Villain of Season 1's first half, both are imposing figures in the galaxy who are hyped up by a personal enemy (Chuck and Fantos, respectively) of the Local Heroes as the ultimate evil being in existence, but while the Great Leader's reputation is all talk and he runs away at the first real danger put in his way, Erodius lives up to the hype given to it by Fantos and is a genuine threat to the universe, remaining the main threat for most of the series. Their final fates are also contrasting, the Great Leader turns tail and flees when the going gets tough, while Erodius peacefully fades away after it reunites with its last piece.
• The Dreaded: As befitting an entity known as "The Planet Killer", Erodius is feared by all who know of it.
• Eldritch Abomination: Crossed with Eldritch Location due to its size. Erodius is an inexorable, (seemingly) undefeatable force of destruction that travels in a single direction through space, obliterating everything in its path... that also happens to take the form of a planet.
• Evil Is Not a Toy: When Fantos tries to use Erodius to destroy Earth, Erodius retaliates by holding down Fantos and absorbing him into itself.
• Expy: Season 2 reveals that Erodius is a planet itself that "devours" planets by vacuuming them up, meaning that it might be one to Unicron who mostly takes the form of a planet and is a devourer of worlds.
• Generic Doomsday Villain: In stark contrast to the other villains' humorous personalities, Erodius has no such thing and instead is portrayed as a force that ought to be stopped, with no real personality - to the point it doesn't even communicate, let alone think in any conscious way. Eventually subverted when its backstory is revealed.
• Genius Loci: It's a planet, and while it doesn't communicate at all, it's sentient enough to try and fight back against those who attempt to destroy it.
• Gravity Master: It consumes planets by generating a powerful gravity well around itself that rips them to pieces as it passes close by. This field also makes it difficult to approach as it disrupts any attempt at a controlled descent to the surface, making it unlikely to survive the resulting crash.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Erodius is never seen in the first season with the main antagonist roles being occupied by the Great Leader and the Biker in Black, but by destroying thirteen planets, Erodius created the cosmic stones of power and set all the events of the plot in motion. Its existence isn't even revealed until the first season finale at which point it's set up to be the true Big Bad of the series overall.
• Healing Hands: Erodius' original power before being mostly destroyed. The only trace of that power left is in the fourteenth stone that Papa G unknowingly carried with him since childhood as a lucky charm.
• Hero Killer: Not only did it wipe out thirteen planets, but it also killed four of the five survivor aliens who were protecting the cosmic stones, and massively wounded the fifth one, Queen Xhan, forcing her to seek out other eight stones to complete.
• It Can Think: It can use the powers of the Cosmic Stones embedded in its body to fight back against potential invaders, and Season 3 reveals that its motivation is that it wants to get a piece of itself back.
• Karmic Death: In the illusion created by Fantos, the Heroes use the stones made from the planets Erodius destroyed to travel into the center of its body in order to make it explode.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Its name is a portmanteau of "erode" and "odious", which should both serve as clues to how bad it really is.
• Non-Human Undead: Erodius as we know it is merely the spirit of its former self, a sentient planet covered in healing crystals. It's a literal Ghost Planet.
• Non-Malicious Monster: Isn't actually intentionally evil, all it did was an unintentional side effect of desperately trying to become whole again.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Erodius didn't gain the moniker "The Planet Killer" for nothing. It destroyed at least five planets to create the cosmic stones and the first season finale reveals there are thirteen stones in total implying his number is much higher than what's been seen and may be increasing with his return. Eventually subverted as this was an accidental process of trying to reassemble itself.
• Perpetual-Motion Monster: Erodius travels across space in a single straight line and seemingly cannot be stopped or halted. That doesn't mean it can't be damaged, though.
• Planet Destroyer: It's destroyed thirteen planets, actions which in turn created the stones of power. And its body is filled with Cosmic Stones.
• Pronoun Trouble: Fantos initially doesn't knows whether to refer to Erodius as a he, she or it. He settles down on "it".
• Red Baron: Its title is Erodius the Planet Killer.
• Spell My Name With An S: Sometimes called "Erodious".
• Tragic Villain: In Season 3, it's eventually revealed that Erodius was once a sentient planet that healed people with its magical crystals, but it was destroyed and only a tiny piece of it survived. It then tried to gain back that last part of itself by any means necessary. Papa G is revealed to have been in possession of this very piece the whole time, which he gives up to Erodius so that it may finally find solace.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: In regards to all of the planets it has devoured, Erodius doesn't seem to care if said planets had sentient life inhabiting them.

The Survivors Five (Unmarked Spoilers!)

Gortho the Barbarian, Mstr Wlkzn, Meep & PT-SB

Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore (Meep, Gortho), Eric Bauza (Mstr Wlkzn), Sam Riegel (PT-SB)

A group of aliens whose homeworlds were destroyed and turned into the Cosmic Stones. Eventually, they came to Earth in search of the stones to take back the last remaining relics of their home planets and ended up clashing with the Biker in Black's forces over it.

---

• Big Fun: Gortho seems to be this. He's energetic and judging by how he reacts to Papa G showing him a trick, he loves to have fun.
• Fish Eyes: Mstr Wlkzn's eyes never look straight, and they are constantly circling around. There are moments where they look straight at something but that's when it's something serious like when he's looking at his stone of power or as shown in a flashback of season 2, when he's feeling upset.
• Good All Along: They do not seek the stones to conquer the galaxy, but because they're the only relics of their homes that they have left and want to take them back by any means.
• Killed Offscreen: During the 6 month Time Skip, most of them were killed fighting Erodius, with Xhan being the only one to survive and forced to seek out the other 8 rings in addition to the 5 they had so as to stop Erodius. We do get to see their deaths in season 2 in Xhan's flashback, however.
• Last of Their Kind: They're all the last surviving members of the retrospective home planets after they got destroyed.
• Mechanical Lifeforms: PT-SB appears to be mechanical and doesn't eat.
• Me's a Crowd: Gortho's native power, he can multiply himself to perform many tasks at once, including commanding an entire fleet of spaceships on his own.
• Mind over Matter: Mstr Wlkzn's native power which he has to clarify to Kid is not Mind Control.
• My Brainis Big: Tying into his powers, Mstr Wlkzn has a disproportionately massive noggin.
• Seers: PT-SB's native power is the ability to see the future.
• Sizeshifter: Meep's native power, allowing it to grow from a small cute form to a gigantic, yet still cute, form.
• Sole Survivor: All of them (Except for Queen Xhan, whose soldiers are presumably from her planet as well) were the only survivors of Erodius' destruction. Post-Time Skip, all of them are dead after a failed attempt at destroying Erodius, leaving Queen Xhan as the only survivor of the battle against Erodius.
• Poor Communication Kills: They likely would've avoided most of the fight had they better communicated their true intentions, though the Biker in Black's hatred of all aliens likely rendered the point moot, anyways.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: All of them except Queen Xhan are killed after the time skip.
• Walking Spoiler: Their colors and abilities tease their connection to their planet's respective Cosmic Stone.

Queen Xhan (Unmarked Spoilers!)

Queen Xhan

Voiced by: Cree Summer

A jellyfish-like alien whose planet was destroyed by Erodius the Planet Killer. After the Sole Survivors don't make it in the battle against Erodius, she comes to Earth, seeking the help of the Local Heroes.

---

• An Arm and a Leg: Fantos tears off her arm to use as a makeshift weapon.
• Ascended Extra: She receives more focus in season 2.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: According to her, her people don't have any concept of a promise.
• Character Development: In Season 3, she shows more consideration for the Local Heroes, wanting them to be safe and protected rather then running head on to inevitable danger. She also shows more respect to Flo because of her stronger principles.
• General Failure: Her leadership advice to Jo is shown to frequently sabotage the Local Heroes' missions, and eventually almost gets Jo herself killed. She only realizes how terrible her advice is once Flo points out that the Survivors Five died because of her leadership tactics.
• Heel Realization: After being called out on the effects of her advice to Jo and how her leadership got the other Survivors Five killed, she realizes she was wrong in her ideology and makes sure to change it.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In the season 2 finale, she teleports in front of Fantos and transfers his Stones of Power to the Local Heroes so they can use them to defeat the Planet Killer. While she's successful in the transfer, it leaves her vulnerable to Fantos' wrath and costs her a tentacle.
• The Needs of the Many: Her teachings towards Jo are based on how her actions should always benefit "the greater good" no matter how dangerous or hurtful they may be.
• The Obi-Wannabe: In season 2, while she tries to advise Jo on how to be a good leader, all of her advice is universally bad and leads Jo to needlessly put herself and the other Local Heroes in danger time and time again. Notably, Jo only realizes her true potential as a leader after she abandons everything Xhan taught her.
• Octopoid Aliens: Queen Xhan and her soldiers resemble some sort of mix between an octopus and a jellyfish.
• The Rival: Flo sees her as one considering that her daughter starts to take the queen's questionable advice and take extreme actions throughout Season 2.
• Shock and Awe: Being based on a jellyfish, of course Queen Xhan can use electricity along with her portals.
• So Proud of You: Often expresses pride in Jo whenever she takes actions that are based on her principles.
• Thinking Up Portals: Queen Xhan's power.
• Toxic Friend Influence: Because of her similar powers, Jo turns to Queen Xhan for advice on how to be a good leader in Season 2. Unfortunately, while Xhan is on the side of good, she turns out to be a awful leader herself, full of toxic mentalities and philosophies that just drive Jo further down a destructive path while ignoring her mother’s advice.
• Unexplained Recovery: When we see her again in season 3, she has her arm back with no explanation as to how other than it growing back during the time the heroes were trapped in a fantasy.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: She's last seen in the Season 2 finale teleporting away to an unknown location as Erodius destroys Mo's Oasis. She shows up again in Season 3 to save the team from dying in space after they escape the fantasy world.

Carlax

Carlax

Voiced by: Christian Lanz

An alien formerly in possession of the stones, who crash-lands on Earth trying to escape the Klaxian Empire's fleet. He works as a postal worker.

---

• Ascended Extra: He's only got a few lines in the first season and an extremely minor yet important role. In the second season he's not a main character, but gets far more lines and screentime and is the one to rescue Jo after Fantos strands her on a desert planet and helps rally alien forces to fight Erodius.
• Back for the Finale: He returns in the final scene of the series finale as the first visitor of Flo's grand re-opening.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: He thinks highly of Flo as her hospitality and kind heart was able to bring his family together again. And as a result, he rallies the rest of the galaxy to help fight Erodius to protect her and her diner.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Before Season 2, the credits called him "UPX Driver". He gets a name in the second season.
• Extra Eyes: He has six eyes.
• Having a Blast: When fighting Erodius, he uses explosive cargo to do heavy damage towards the Planet Killer.
• Identically Named Group: He fits right in with Carl, Carla and Carlos, even though they barely have any screentime together.
• Resolved Noodle Incident: We learn in the Season 2 opener that he came across the stones after Fantos made an order online to UPX and he tried delivering them to him, only to run afoul of the Klaxian fleet intercepting him on his way to delivering them.
• The Sixth Ranger: In the series finale, he becomes the fourth member of the "Carl" Crew.
• Small Role, Big Impact: His ship crash landing on Earth with the five stones is what kicks the show's plot into motion.
• Venturous Smuggler: It doesn't matter if it's a set of powerful MacGuffins or unstable bombs. He is part of an interstellar delivery service that can and will legally carry just about anything across the universe. Since the universe has inhabitants with different tastes, it's hard to determine what counts as contraband or illegal contents.
  Carlax: "UPX: We ship anything".
• What Happened to the Mouse?: In the first season he was last seen in Kid Cosmic And The Invaders From Earth where he tries to get his revenge on Chuck for shooting him down but is knocked out by Tuna Sandwich, at the time of the first season finale it was unknown what became of him afterwards. However, Season 2 showed that he's alive and well and has reunited with his family after Kid and his allies were taken to space.

Fantos the Amassor

Fantos the Amassor

Voiced by: Bobby Moynihan

A childish supervillain who's a big fan of Erodius and wants the Stones of Power for himself.

---

• Admiring the Abomination: Fantos' admiration of Erodius is heavily based on Erodius' destruction of planets.
• All Your Powers Combined: Fantos has a set of armor that allows him to safely wield all the Stones of Power at once without being overwhelmed.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is colored a bright purple.
• Ascended Fanboy: To Erodius after meeting him and becoming his herald.
• Beware the Silly Ones: Childish and comedic as he may be, Fantos is still a far bigger threat than most villains that came before him and the team just barely escapes him in their first clash. During the season he proves a genuine threat to just about everyone in the universe, moreso when he gets to team up with Erodius.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: The most recurring antagonist of the series alongside Erodius. Once he gets all stones, he moves on to directly working with the Planet Killer to cause mayhem.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: He understands that he can easily take over the galaxy with the Stones of Power. He just admits that it's too much work and would rather keep them as a collection. That said, he can be a considerable threat when he needs to. By the end of Season 3, he decides to take control of Erodius himself when he becomes dissatisfied with it mostly eating asteroid belts after the hammering it took in the Season 2 finale, and comes very close to defeating the heroes and destroying Earth. He also figures out that he's in a world meant to cater to his fantasies very quickly after Jo tries to use the same trick he used on them.
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": He has a stylized "f" on his belt.
• Catchphrase: "ERODIUS!"
• The Collector: A supervillain who wants to gather all of the 13 Stones of Power to keep for himself like a toy collection.
• Combat Pragmatist: He kills Krosh by shooting her from behind while she's too distracted with gloating to Jo to notice his presence.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To the Biker in Black. Fantos and the Biker in Black are both manchildren who desire the power of all the stones of power for their own use. However, while the Biker in Black is a Heroic Wannabe who hates all aliens and uses the pretense of protecting Earth as means to get his ideas forward, Fantos is a supervillain fanboy who wants the stones so he can join Erodius' campaign of destruction and chaos. Furthermore, the Biker in Black is a Non-Action Bad Guy who relies on troops and followers to do his bidding, while Fantos does most things by himself... Except moving around, a job his mom does for him. Furthermore, the Biker in Black is a Shadow Archetype of Kid, representing what Kid would've become if he let his obsession with being a hero override his moral code and consume him, whereas Fantos is an Evil Counterpart, showing what would happen if both Kid never let go of his obsessions' worst tendencies and was a fan of villains instead of heroes.
• Corrupted Character Copy: He's basically what Thanos would be like if he was a major Momma's Boy instead of a murderous warlord. Both of them are obsessed with a portent of the end, both of them want to gather various MacGuffins in the name of that portent, and both of them are unrelenting in their pursuit of the MacGuffins. The only difference between the two is that Thanos takes a (comparably) more level-headed approach when things don't go his way whereas Fantos will basically throw a tantrum the moment things go south for him.
• Create Your Own Hero: If he hadn't hired UPX to move the stones he bought, the Local Heroes would never have found them in the first place.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Erodius absorbs him into itself. Also counts as Death by Irony given his fantaticism for the planet killer.
• Death by Irony: After being so enamored with Erodius destroying planets via absorbing them, he's absorbed into Erodius after he attempts to force it to destroy Earth.
• Dirty Coward: Subverted. When the local heroes show up to rescue Kid from his clutches he immediately runs off... Only to return with a Powered Armor and promptly fight back.
• Dragon-in-Chief: He sets himself up as Erodius’ herald at the end of season 2, but since Erodius doesn’t have any goals outside of finding the last fragment of its original self, Fantos is ultimately the one that takes the rein.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Exaggerated. Fantos cares about his mother and it's clear she cares about him in return... But Fantos takes it to ridiculous extremes by relying on her for emotional support and she was growing sick of her son's immaturity and refusal to move out.
• Evil Counterpart: He essentially is an older, less mature version of Kid; albeit one who is a fan of villains like Erodius. His attire even has antenna headphones just like Kid.
• Evil Is Petty: Even after the planet where UPX was installed is destroyed and all its inhabitants and UPX workers killed with it, he still feels the need to give them a bad review out of frustration for his order of stones being lost.
• Evil Sounds Deep: You'd be forgiven for not realizing that he's voiced by Bobby Moynihan, as his voice is heavily distorted.
• Expy:
  • With his purple skin and desire to collect a set of powerful colored stones, he can be seen as a humorous version of Thanos.
  • His regular clothing gives him a bit of a resemblance to Darkseid, with it exposing his arms, legs and having a similar color scheme.
  • He also has a suit of armor that makes him look like Galactus but instead of being the one destroying planets himself, acts more like Galactus' heralds.
  • The fact that he's a childish, yet dangerous space villain who revels in the destruction of planets brings to mind Lord Dominator, though Fantos is not the one doing the destruction himself.
• Fan Boy: Of Erodius, Fantos is particularly fond of watching as Erodius destroys planets and even takes a selfie as he watches the carnage from afar.
• The Heavy: Erodius maybe the most dangerous threat and the goal of the 2nd Season is to stop him; but Fantos is the most recurring and personal threat due to Erodius’ non sapience.
• Hero Killer: Zig-zagged because technically he kills Krosh when she is a member of Jo's new two-people team but he does it in the middle of her revealing herself as a False Friend and stabbing Jo in the back.
• Hostage For Macguffin: After Fantos captures Kid, he contacts Jo to give him the remaining stones of power for Kid's safety, though it takes him a while to get his threat across.
• I Have Your Wife: Played for Laughs. After he captures Kid he eagerly calls Mo's Oasis to force the Local Heroes to come to his base so he can take their stones, only to run afoul of some shenanigans as his call gets put on standby due to calling at peak hours before he's finally able to properly make his threats.
• Lack of Empathy: Feels no empathy for the many lives that Erodius has claimed and even maliciously makes fun of his victims if the topic comes up.
• Large Ham: He has several instances of yelling flowery dialogue, especially when he rambles about his admiration for Erodius.
• Laughably Evil: He's a fanboy of a planet-destroying entity, wants to get all thirteen stones for himself as well as a heavily comedic Psychopathic Manchild who lives with his mother and goes to her for emotional support.
• Lotus-Eater Machine: The portal ring can lead to any place imaginable, real or fake. The portal he supposedly used to send the heroes back to Earth near the end of Season 2 wasn't actually sending them home, it was trapping them in a fantasy world.
• Momma's Boy: Lives with his mother and is quick to go to her for emotional support when he's upset. His mother, however, gets fed up with him when Fantos goes back on his promise to move out once he obtained all thirteen stones and kicks him out on Erodius.
• Monster Fangirl: A Rare Male Example. He collects Erodius memorabilia and is practically in love with the planet and the destruction it causes.
• Moving the Goalposts: Fantos promised his mother that if he collected all of the Cosmic Stones then he would move out of her spaceship house. His greed gets the better of him when he realizes that Erodius' being holds countless Stones of Power and he decides on a new plan: they can live on Erodius and make more Cosmic Stones from the planets the Planet Killer destroys. His mother is clearly not happy about this and eventually ditches him for it.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Managed to track down the five stones that the heroes ended up with in the first season, as well as five more by the time he appears in season 2.
• Psychopathic Manchild: He is a powerful alien warlord who is a fanboy of Erodius and loves to see the Planet Destroyer do what it does best... Who also is a big Momma's Boy, lives in a spaceship with trash and food leftovers all over the ground, throws hissy fits when he loses and relies on his mother for emotional support.
• Punny Name: Aptly named, Fantos is Erodius' most devoted follower.
• Shout-Out:
  • He appears to be a mishmash of two famous Marvel Comics villains: The Collector (thanks to his "collecting" tendencies) and Thanos (purple skin and seeking powered stones for his own use).
  • His powered armor gives him a resemblance to Galactus.
• Small Parent, Huge Child: Fantos is a huge purple alien that towers over the entire cast of heroes. His mom on the other hand doesn't even reach up to his knees.
• The Starscream: By season 3, he grows tired of simply watching Erodius destroy, and begins trying to force Erodius to go after populated planets. It doesn't end well for him.
• Starter Villain Stays: The first foe Kid Cosmic and the Local Heroes face in the second season and the most recurring one in it, taking over the role of the Arc Villain of the season along with Erodius.
• Trash of the Titans: His place (or more specifically, his mom's) is filled to the brim with garbage, food scraps, toys, collectibles and all sorts of supervillain paraphernallia. His mom throws it all out when she has enough of Fantos' immaturity.
• Uncertain Doom: He is potentially killed after Erodius explodes as he is never seen again, but given he had access to several stones of power, he could have easily escaped or defended himself. Halfway through season 3, it's revealed that Erodius' defeat in Season 2 was all a part of a fantasy world, and that Fantos is still living on a very-much-still-alive Erodius.
• Wake-Up Call Boss: Unlike most of the previous season's antagonists who were either too inefficient to be a threat or took themselves out in dumb or contrived ways, Fantos is actually very threatening once he gets serious and the team is ultimately unable to truly stop him in their first encounter in the season 2 premiere, which also gives Jo a rude awakening as to how harder things are going to get for her as a leader from now on.

Fantos' Mom

Fantos' Mom

Fantos' mother whom he still lives with and has cater to his every whim.

---

• The Dog Bites Back: After Fantos goes back on his promise to move out once he got all the Stones of Power, his mother has enough and she abandons him on Erodius.
• Extreme Doormat: Goes along with whatever her adult son wants without complaint. Though she does have her limits as shown in the Season 2 finale.
• Evil Minions: Averted. Jo assumes she's Fantos' minion, but it's later revealed she's just his mom (and the owner of the spaceship Fantos travels in).
• Miniature Senior Citizen: She's absolutely tiny compared to her son, only coming up to his ankles.
• Outliving One's Offspring: Assuming she didn't die offscreen after abandoning her son, she most likely outlived him after he was absorbed into the very core of Erodius.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: She eventually ditches her son when he refuses to move out even after their terms were concluded and leaves for parts unknown while tossing out all of her son's stuff.
• Tranquil Fury: Even when she's angry she won't speak even a single word.
• The Voiceless: Never says a word during her time on the show.

Boss Fiosa

Voiced by: Grey Griffin

A two-headed villainous crime lord who possesses the Stones of Fire and Ice.

---

• Back for the Finale: She makes a silent cameo alongside the alien patrons of Flo's grand reopening and show amorous intentions towards Fry & Hamburg.
• Enemy Mine: She joins the heroic brigade to fight back against Erodius to not only protect Flo and her diner (acknowledging their catering services despite stealing her Cosmic Stones) but to also take revenge on the Planet Killer for further ruining her party.
• Expy: Very blatantly takes cues from Lord Dominator with her design, fire and ice powers, robot minions, wickedness, and even hatred of social situations.
• Green-Skinned Space Babe: Of the Big Beautiful Woman type, as she's more heavyset than most examples of attractive alien women with abnormal skin colors.
• Klingon Promotion: Was gifted the Fire and Ice Stones by the previous crime lord as a token of his affection. She responded by using the Stones to kill him and taking over his syndicate.
• Multiple Head Case: She has two heads that take turns talking and occasionally glance at one another as if they were separate beings.
• My Eyes Are Up Here: In her debut episode, she reprimands Fantos for seemingly looking at her cleavage, not knowing that he's actually looking at the fire and ice stones she wears around her necks.
• Old Friend: To Queen Xhan.
• Punny Name: Her alien race is called the "Bagais" which sounds alot like "bad guys".
  • Her own name comes from mafiosa (a female "mafioso")
• The Queen Pin: The crime lord of the Bagais Crime Syndicate. She was once the moll of the previous boss of the League, who was given two of the Cosmic Stones of Power by him as a gift. But she then used their power to kill him and take control of the organization for herself.
• Villains Out Shopping: The head of an alien crime syndicate, but a regular patron of Mo's Oasis Diner, to the point where she had them cater her birthday party.

Krosh

Krosh

Voiced by: April Winchell

The champion of the Fight Hole, who just so happens to be in possession of a Stone of Power: One that absorbs any and all pain and converts what it absorbed into powerful kinetic attacks. After Jo defeats her, she joins her and the Local Heroes in their quest to stop Erodius at Jo's request.

---

• An Arm and a Leg: Fantos first disintegrates her hand before going for the kill shot.
• Asshole Victim: She is killed by Fantos mere seconds after betraying Jo for petty reasons, while gloating that Jo is a loser and planning to leave her to die on Erodius, no tears are shed when she kicks the bucket.
• Blood Knight: It's clear that Krosh enjoys fighting. Her betrayal of Jo is motivated by the fact that Jo defeated her in battle and became the new Fight Hole champion. Fighting was all that she lived for, and Jo took it away from her.
• Brought Down to Badass: Even when the stone is removed from her eye and thus renders her far more vulnerable to damage, she still fights like a champ and is by far the most physically strong associate of the Local Heroes.
• Corrupted Character Copy: A confirmed one of Sylvia, due to her hair, voice actress, and love of fighting. However, she is much more unstable than Sylvia and lacks her heroic traits.
• Defeat Equals Friendship: Subverted. Krosh joins the team after being bested by Jo, but it's all a ruse to claim the Stones of Power for herself and restore her position as Fight Hole champion.
• Evil Is Petty: She betrays Jo so she can go back to being the Fight Hole champion.
• Expy: Aside from Sylvia, as explained under Corrupted Character Copy, she is also an invincible, fight-loving warrior who possesses a cosmic stone making her impossible to defeat on top of already impressive physical prowess. This is very evocative of Marvel Comics' character Champion of the Universe. Moreover she is killed by and loses her stones to Fantos, a parody of Thanos, the character who ultimately defeated Champion and took his stone.
• Eye Scream: Her stone of power is embedded in her empty eye socket. Jo takes it by ripping it out of there.
• False Friend: She acts friendly after Jo defeats her and joins her on the two-women team to take down Erodius. However, when she and Jo go ahead in their mission, Krosh traps her under a boulder, steals all her cosmic stones and makes it clear that she doesn't care about defeating Erodius, she wants to use the stones to reclaim her title as the Fight Hole Champion, since she felt that was all that she lived for.
• Feel No Pain: The stone she has makes it so that she absorbs any pain she feels, stores it, and then can subsequently inflict the pain she absorbed back onto others through an energy attack.
• In the Back: Fantos kills her by shooting her from behind.
• Karmic Death: Immediately after figuratively backstabbing Jo, she literally gets a "backstab" of her own when Fantos atomizes her with a shot In the Back.
• Killed Off for Real: Fantos zaps her and her other duplicates into ash.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: A cross between "crush" and "cross" that starts with a K.
• No Body Left Behind: Fantos vaporizes her with a ray gun, leaving not even an atom of her body left.
• Me's a Crowd: Jo gives her the clones ring, but Krosh only uses it to make two copies of herself, making "Battle Krosh", "Attack Krosh" and "Defense Krosh".
• Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction when Fantos vaporizes her hand from behind, shortly before he vaporizes her whole body.

Tiny Alien Race

Tiny Alien Race

Voiced by: Toks Olagundoye (Madame President), Fred Tatasciore (General Staunch), Nicolas Cantu (Ensign Mainstay), Grey Griffin (Cadet Vinia), Phil Lamarr (Bombardier Brake)

A race of tiny aliens that are taken as refugees by the Local Heroes after their planet was destroyed by Erodius. Members include the Madame President, the General Staunch, the Commander Ensign Mainstay, Cadet Vinia, and Bombardier Brake.

---

• Arson Murder And Life Saving: General Staunch seems like is chewing out Mainstay, Vinia and Brake for disobeying his orders and contacting with Rosa, but in the end he tells them that thanks to them the Local Heroes found a chance to defeat Erodius and save the galaxy, and awards medals to the three of them for their actions.
• Expecting Someone Taller: When their spaceships arrive to the dinner, the Local Heroes are really surprised at how small they are.
• Little People: A race of very small aliens.
• Nice Mean And In Between: Out of the three tiny aliens that help Rosa in getting the stones back, Mainstay is nice, Brake is mean and Vinia is in-between.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Ensign Mainstay disobeys the General’s orders of going back to the Colony because he won’t give up in saving the galaxy as long as there’s a sliver of hope, Cadet Vinia and Bombardier Brake follow him, though Brake only because he thinks without him they’ll get themselves killed.

The Government (UNMARKED SPOILERS!)

Demon Dogs

Demon Dogs of Doom

Gorilla-sized canine-like aliens with black fur and blue crystalline teeth.

---

• Attack Its Weak Point: Their weak point is a small hole in the back of their collars. Holding something small and thin to it, like a bent paperclip, causes their projections to shut down.
• Canis Major: Canine-like aliens, large enough to pass off as bears or gorillas.
• Expy: They're dead ringers for the aliens from Attack the Block. McCracken also cites the Terror Dogs from Ghostbusters as an inspiration for them.
• Foreshadowing: As pointed out in Fun Facts About Kid Cosmic, the symbols on their collar are actually English letters that spell "ERTH", hinting at them being created by the government.
• Hard Light: They are projections emitted from their collars.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: The biggest difference between them and the Attack the Block aliens is that these have visible eyes, which are blood-red.
• Starter Villain: The demon dogs threaten our heroes up until "Kid Cosmic and the Epic Fail", where the government takes the place as the antagonists.

Biker in Black

Biker in Black

Voiced by: Jason Hightower

A mysterious biker who frequents Mo's Oasis and never tips. He eventually turns out to be a government agent, who has been spying on the town the whole time and manipulating several events from behind the scenes.

---

• Arc Villain: Of Season 1. Not only is he controlling the "demon dogs" that have been attacking the team since the beginning, he's been observing the team all along throughout season, using them as guinea pigs to test out the stone's powers before swooping in to steal them for his own purposes.
• Ascended Fanboy: Turns out to be an even bigger one than Kid, and has been on the lookout for the stones so he can use their powers to create his own team of super soldiers. Unlike Kid, however, his reasons for desiring the stones are entirely selfish, merely wanting to be a "hero" for the sake of personal gratification and making himself a paragon that turns Earth into a respectable superpower by any means possible.
• Badass Biker: He gives off the impression of one, being a stoic tough guy who drives his bike pretty much everywhere. Even when interrogating he'll be sitting on his bike. Likewise he's a far more serious threat than anything the team faced before, second only to the yet to be seen threat of Erodius.
• Bald of Evil: He's balding under his hat.
• Big Badass Rig: He's got five big rigs connected side-by-side into one enormous truck acting as his mobile command center!
• Chekhov's Gunman: He seems like just a background character detached from the regulars of Mo's Oasis who spends his time sitting back and drinking coffee, seemingly oblivious to the super-powered shenanigans taking place in town. Then episode seven reveals he's a government agent who's been observing the Local Heroes the entire time and is actually the real Arc Villain of the first season.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: His projection of how aliens view Earth as primitive and feeble and how Earth should be the greatest galactic superpower in existence bears quite a few similarities to similar speeches given by real-life war hawks. His Fantastic Racism towards non-Earth lifeforms and any who sympathize with them only further cements that fact.
• Eagleland: Resembles the "Boorish" type (although he seems to be an Earth nationalist instead of an American nationalist), being an overweight government official who relies on brute force and stealing/reverse-engineering alien technology in his end goal to have the Earth become a galactic superpower feared by the rest of the galaxy despite knowing not all aliens are evil.
• Expy: He serves as one to General Steel from Sym-Bionic Titan. Both are egotistical adversaries who strongly despise aliens, and want to prove Earth's superiority to the universe.
• Fantastic Racism: He despises all aliens, evil or not, and takes time to show the Local Heroes video feed of harmless aliens he's been studying and has locked up.
• Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: His hatred of aliens seems to stem from an inferiority complex where the Biker in Black is jealous of the aliens, insecure about himself compared to them, and projects his own feelings of inadequacy onto the Earth. From his warped point-of-view, all aliens view Earth as a laughingstock, so only by using the power of the cosmic stones can he prove Earth is a planet to be respected and feared all throughout the galaxy.
• Fat Bastard: A xenophobic manchild with a hero complex and a prominent gut.
• Foil: To Kid. Both are Ascended Fanboys to a world of superhero tropes and amazed at the stones and their powers. But while Kid and his friends are a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits who want to use the Stones for the forces of good, the Biker In Black has a more professional team but wants to use the powers to make other galaxies fear Earth. Meanwhile, Kid fights alongside his team, while the Biker in Black looks on from the sidelines. He also shares the Kid's desire to be celebrated as a hero, but while the Kid genuinely wants to help people from the beginning and matures enough to ditch his egotistical mannerisms, the Biker in Black never matures and is willing to hurt innocents just to be falsely praised as a hero. Kid also has the excuse for his behavior of actually being a child, while the biker has no such excuse.
• Hypocrite: He wants to prove that humanity is superior to aliens, but relies upon what is heavily implied to be reverse engineered alien technology (the result being the Demon Dogs) or using the Cosmic Stones, alien artifacts.
• Jerkass: Is well aware of the Stones actual meaning for the aliens, but wants to keep them to Earth anyway to make Earth a feared planet among the galaxy. He knows not all aliens are bad guys, and just regular folks who want to go home, but keeps them locked up on Earth despite it. He also doesn't tip.
• The Man Behind the Monsters: The mysterious "demon dogs (of doom)" that have been attacking the Local Heroes throughout the first season are actually being controlled by the Biker in Black. It turns out the "dogs" are Hard Light projections created by repurposed alien technology.
• Meaningful Background Event: Until the reveal that he is with the government, he can be seen in the background of several episodes silently sipping his coffee. Turns out he was keeping tabs on the team all along.
• The Men in Black: It's eventually revealed he's a secret government agent, only instead of being referred to as a man in black, he's called a "biker in black."
• Mission Control: Instead of using the stones to personally fight aliens, the Biker in Black gives them to an elite team of hand-picked agents, whom he then directs in battle over radio.
• No Name Given: Both the characters and the credits refer to him as the "Biker in Black".
• Non-Action Big Bad: Though he's the main villain of the first season, he never directly participates in the action, even when he has the stones and their powers at his disposal. He acts as Mission Control instead, sending out either the demon dogs, his soldiers or the Earth Force Enforcement Force to fight his battles for him. Averted in the finale where he drives a five-in-one truck in an attempt to run down the kid and his allies in the season finale.
• Not So Stoic: Initially the Biker in Black comes across as an emotionless and laconic G-Man only to reveal himself to be far more immature, petulant and overly emotional over the course of the final three episodes of the first season. Devolves into a full blown Villainous Breakdown when he decides to just try and ram his mobile base into Kid and his friends shouting "Invaders must die!!!!" most likely not even caring about who gets run over in the process.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: While his methods—like putting the town under martial law and using the Local Heroes as guinea pigs to test out the cosmic stones efficiency against alien threats—may be unethical, the Biker in Black does seem to have good intentions, since he wants to hand the stones over to an elite group of special agents so they can protect earth from a massive invasion of evil aliens. Then it turns out, not only are the aliens the good guys who are just trying to reclaim the stones that rightfully belong to them, but the Biker in Black knew all along the aliens weren't evil. He's just a xenophobe who hates aliens and wants to use the cosmic stones to make Earth the most feared and respected planet in the galaxy, and wants to be celebrated as a hero for doing so.
• Psychopathic Manchild: The further the season progresses, the less he seems like a coldly pragmatic government agent than he does an immature, xenophobic manchild who wants to play hero. The overall effect makes him resemble an evil Kid Cosmic who never grew up.
• Redemption Rejection: Refuses Kid's offer to join the heroes following the events of Episode 10. Kid offers him his hand in friendship and what his response? Blow him off and sulk in what's left of his truck just like the manchild he is.
• Rogue Agent: He was this according to the PPG, they did not authorize any of his actions and even mocked his concept of the Earth Force Enforcement Force while explaining things to Kid. However he may have been acting under the government’s authority after all since everything about the PPG was part of a Lotus-Eater Machine.
• Sanity Slippage: He is firstly presented as a cool-headed Man In Black type. Then in the final episode, he is so angered by more aliens appearing than he expected and the Local Heroes foiling his plans, that he attempts to run over the aliens, his soldiers and the Local Heroes while proclaiming aliens must die.
• Shadow Archetype: To Kid Cosmic. Both are obsessed with comics, superheroes, and looking cool, both are colored by their selfishness, and both use the rings as a springboard to fuel their childish fantasies. The difference between the two being that the Kid has the excuse of actually being a child, and figures like Papa G, Jo, and Chuck to set him on the right path. The Biker represents the worst of Kid Cosmic's traits, and shows what he would become if he never went through Character Development: a Xenophobic, immature Jerkass.
• Walking Spoiler: It's hard to discuss him without revealing he's a government agent.
• We Can Rule Together: In the finale, he offers Kid a place in the government. Kid's read enough comics to know it's coming and declines his offer.
• Would Harm a Senior: Delivers an implied death threat to Papa G when he believes the latter is sheltering the fugitive members of the Local Heroes.
• Would Hurt a Child: He regularly sics demon dogs on the Local Heroes, seemingly apathetic to the fact that three of their members are kids. In the finale he outright attempts to kill all the heroes along with the aliens with Rosa, a toddler, included.

Earth Force Enforcement Force

Earth Force Enforcement Force

Voiced by: Christian Lanz (Crimson Vision), Grey Griffin (Violet Vanish), Phil LaMarr (Golden Swarm), Michaela Dietz (Blue Behemoth), Eric Bauza (Emerald Wing)

A team of super-soldiers trained by the government to tackle intergalactic threats.

---

• Alliterative Name: Violet Vanish and Blue Behemoth.
• Blood Knight: Blue Behemoth, who gains the gigantism abilities of the blue stone, really, really enjoys fighting intergalactic invaders.
• Empowered Badass Normal: Thanks to being trained soldiers in good physical condition, all of them are capable of holding their own in combat even without using the stones.
  • Golden Swarm's clones are a very effective army thanks to actual combat training.
  • Crimson Vision probably shows this the best due to having the least direct combat power, but serves as both support through his warnings to the team and a combatant who can hold his own in a fight.
• Everyone Has Standards: They may laugh at the footage of the Local Heroes being used as "guinea pigs" in their fights against "weak" alien invaders, but none of the Earth Force members ever try to actually hurt the Local Heroes, even when the latter keeps interfering with their fight against "evil" aliens.
• The Faceless: Their faces are hidden beneath their helmets, which they never take off. Until the season one finale when Kid breaks their armor, revealing what they actually look like.
• Hazy-Feel Turn: They work for the Big Bad of the first season, but don't seem to have any of his selfish intentions. From their point-of-view, they do believe the Five Survivors are evil alien invaders and by fighting them they're protecting the Earth. After Kid reveals the truth and reunites the stones with their true owners, each member of Earth Force Enforcement Force willingly befriends the Kid.
• Hero Antagonist: They are acting to protect the planet from alien invaders, even though their benefactor and superior is a xenophobe with a hero complex.
• Heroic Build: All of them have muscular upper bodies.
• Jumped at the Call: All of them are absolutely psyched to be superheroes, especially Emerald Wing.
• Multinational Team: The five come from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Mexico.
• Obliviously Evil: They seem to have no clue that the aliens they're fighting aren't actually evil invaders, but the sole survivors of their species who are trying to reclaim the cosmic stones because they are literally the final remnants born from the destruction of their home worlds.
• Pet the Dog: Unlike their boss, they seem to be nicer people. They try to steer the Local Heroes away from the battle because they think they'll get hurt. (However, they don't know they're just prolonging the fight.)
• Plucky Comic Relief: Emerald Wing serves as one for the team due to his Keet-like personality. Unlike Kid cosmic, he accepted the role.
• The Psycho Rangers: Averted. They may look the part and each of them ends up taking on the cosmic stone and matching powers of a corresponding member of the Local Heroes, but they're not evil people. They're just soldiers doing their jobs and seem to fully believe they're the good guys fighting evil alien invaders.
• Repetitive Name: Their team name contains three instances of the word "force", and their theme song has even more usages of that word just to drive the joke home.
• Shout-Out: Their uniforms serve as a reference to Super Sentai and Power Rangers.
• Two Girls to a Team: Like in a lot of the shows whose heroes they're parodying. Violet Vanish and Blue Behemoth are the only women on the team.

PPG

Planet Protection Group

Voiced by: Catherine Cavadini (Agent Pink), Tara Strong (Agent Blue), E.G. Daily (Agent Green)

Three agents of the Planet Protection Group, who recruits Kid and the Local Heroes to gather the scattered Stones and protect the Earth.

---

• Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Agent Blue, Agent Green and Agent Pink respectively.
• Casting Gag: They're voiced by the original voice actresses of The Powerpuff Girls.
• Dream People: They're not actually real people, just the creations of the fantasy world Fantos trapped the Local Heroes in.
• Good Counterpart: To the Biker In Black, whom they are introduced rejecting as a rogue agent whose actions they never authorized.
• Last Episode, New Character: They're introduced in the ending of season 2, serving as a hook to the final season of the show, calling the Local Heroes to become Global Heroes.
• Real After All: While the PPG are fake as a part of Fantos' fantasy world prison, the grand finale features a character who looks exactly like Agent Pink (with a different voice actor) who works for an organization called PPG, however, she's not a government agent, she's just a health inspector.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Much more compared to the Biker In Black. The three agents take their job of protecting the Earth quite seriously and are always in a professional demeanor. That said, they do show gratitude to the Local Heroes for saving the world and offer them an opportunity to continue protecting it.
• Shout-Out: Pretty blatant ones to The Powerpuff Girls. The agents are a Blonde, Brunette, Redhead trio who are named after Blossom, Bubbles & Buttercup's signature colors in the credits, the initials of their agency are the same, and most notably, they're voiced by the Girls' original voice actors. The season even ends with the trio paraphrasing the narrator of that series as the Local Heroes are taken to become Global Heroes.

• Deceased Parents Are the Best: They loved their son very much and their deaths upset Kid greatly.
• Flat Character: Since they're both dead, they don't get much characterization.
• Good Parents: Kid's parents supported his love of superheroes, and Craig McCracken mentioned on his Instagram that the cape he wears was made by his mom when he was little.
• Out-of-Character Alert: In Season 3 when their fake versions said the only reason they didn't find Kid immediately was that he had to be worthy first, Papa G decides to reveal the truth at this point because he was disgusted to hear those words, knowing full well they would never suggest Kid had to earn their love.
• No Name Given: Their names are never revealed.
• Posthumous Character: Both of them died before the events of the series, their deaths serving as Kid's motivation to be a hero and the reason he was able to get the Cosmic Stones since he was sent to live with Papa G after they died.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Kid's mom (confirmed to be related to Papa G) wears glasses like Papa G and has blond hair like he did as a kid, and her son Kid also has blond hair.
