Indeed, you just described Sidekick.
The best character is always the one-shot disguise.
There was a giant computer and the main character's friend he was the son of the evil guy, but he didn't know that. It was like the animation of Dexter's Lab. The went to a school and the teacher (I don't know if he was the headmaster or not) and he had a green face, and he was very slim. He also always sat in a hover chair thing.
