However, it's shown in "Singularity Event" that he's very hurt when his dad can't make it home to have dinner with him. He also jumps at the chance to join Nathan's family for dinner, and which ends up becoming a regular thing.
** On top of that, some of his less noble behavior, like skipping out on Isabelle's spelling bee, stems from believing that putting forth his best self won't be worth it, since he's convinced his family will eventually just move away again and hurt everybody who might have bonded with him.

[[folder: Mark Armstrong]]
->'''Voiced by: (English)''' Creator/GaryCole\\

Jake's father. After the death of his wife, he became extremely involved in Jake's life, giving him a rigorous schedule to keep up with.

----
* AndYourLittleDogToo: Mark could become a victim of this, given that he works for Rook, [[spoiler: who recently became Jake and the other Flex Fighter's most dangerous enemy.]]
* ControlFreak: So much so that he considers Jake missing a few of his extracurriculars good incentive to ground him.
* FreudianExcuse: He's far too controlling of his son, but it comes from a need to overcompensate since his wife passed away.
* GoodParents: Despite his extreme overprotectiveness, and the rigorous schedule he keeps Jake on, Mark only wants what's best for his son and loves him very dearly. He often has to work late, but makes sure to call his son via webcam every morning, and to make time to see him when he can.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He has no idea his son is a Flex Fighter, and it's one of the driving conflicts between him and Jake, who struggles with whether or not he should tell his dad the truth.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: Very much inverted. Mark cares deeply for his son, but thinks those "Flex Fighters" are nothing but trouble.
* MyBelovedSmother: He's essentially a gender-bent version of this trope, as he's more involved than the average OverprotectiveDad.
* ScheduleFanatic: Not for himself, but for Jake. For instance, he video-calls his son ''every morning'' after his alarm goes off just to make sure he's staying on track.

* ParentalSubstitute: For Nathan and Ricardo. Nathan's parents are both fairly present, but his Grandpa supports him when it comes to his double life, which his parents are unaware of. He's more of a straightforward example for Ricardo, whose parents are almost always absent.
* SecretKeeper: He finds out Nathan and his friends are the Flex Fighters are overhearing a phone call between Nathan and Ricardo. He tells Nathan he's discovered the truth, then [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming immediately vows to keep their secret and help them out however he can.]]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Riya has dark skin, but bright green eyes and purple hair. Her surname suggests she may be Middle Eastern.
* BadassNormal: Has no special abilities other than [[spoiler: flexarium weapons, but is able to stand her ground against the Flex Fighters.]]
* FlatLoveInterest: For Jake, and later, [[spoiler: Ricardo.]] Not much is known about her other than she dislikes most school activities and is somewhat reclusive. [[spoiler:Hopefully, this will change with the reveal that she's Blindstrike.]]
* {{Foil}}: She serves as a mild version of this for Jake. They both have difficulty juggling their schedules, and hey both have [[spoiler:secret identities they cannot discuss causing them additional stress.]] However, while Jake is friendly, if not awkward, and genuinely enjoys school, Riya is aloof and doesn't seem to care for most school activities.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: She doesn't appear among the classmates once the final conflict in "Crisis at the Cleo" starts. Even more notably, [[spoiler:the scene before her secret identity is revealed, she talks to Jake about struggling to balance school and other demanding activities, similar to how he's struggled with school and keeping ''his'' secret identity. In addition, when the Flex Fighters are trying to discover which of their classmates is Blindstrike, they never bring up the possibility that Blindstrike could be a girl, probably due to the fact that [[TheUntwist Riya would become a much more obvious candidate]].]]

* LoveInterest: Serves as this for Nathan. After the events of the school dance she attended with [[ItsAllAboutMe Gabe]], the feeling is mutual.
* {{Meganekko}}: Has thick glasses, and is still considered very attractive by multiple characters.

After the Flex Fighters gain their powers, he immediately hires them to be heroes, sponsered by his company. He does his best to assist them during their missions. [[spoiler:Later, he's revealed to be Flex Monster, the creature who more or less created all of the supervillains the trio has fought. Rook has been manipulating the Flex Fighters for personal gain, using them to give Rook Unlimited control over almost every aspect of Charter City.]]

----
* BenevolentBoss: Despite keeping his PR team up all night at one point, he treats his employees kindly, and even gives Brick and Mortar a second chance after their bank robbery fiasco.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Rook's a certified genius, an inventor, and basically owns Charter City, but is positively giddy at the thought of his company having officially sponsored superheroes. And then there's the fact that one of his earliest scenes has him riding a hovering segway around instead of walking.
* {{Chessmaster}}: Ohh, yeah. Hires the boys as superheroes instead of putting them in jail, and keeps all the villains and monsters for experiments, [[spoiler: all so he can gradually gain more and more control over Charter City, up to and including a satellite that has access to everyone in the city's personal information, and the city's own defense systems.]]
* CrazyPrepared: Has a training area ready for the Flex Fighters the ''day'' after they gain their powers, and also has a large transport vehicle, along with smaller, personalized ones, created just in case they later become necessary. That isn't even touching on the specialized prison cells he had ready for each of the super-villains as soon as they were captured.
* EccentricMillionaire: Rebuilds a whole city from the ground, hires a former gang member as his right hand man, and instead of punishing the teenagers who accidentally destroyed one of his research labs, he hires and trains them to be superheroes. [[spoiler:Possibly subverted, given much of this may have been means to an end, and how much of this persona was an act is debatable.]]
* [[spoiler:EmperorScientist]]
* [[spoiler:EvilAllAlong:]] Turns out to be this.
* GadgeteerGenius: Though we don't see it in action, he's implied to be this.
-->'''Rook''': I didn't become a millionaire just by inventing cool stuff, although I ''did'' do that.
* MagnificentBastard: Gradually gains control of almost all the parts of Charter City, a city that he essentially rebuilt from the ground up to begin with.
* ManipulativeBastard: Not only did he [[spoiler: manipulate the Flex Fighters into bolstering his public image, then turn against them the minute they figured out his true intentions, he also manipulated almost every supervillain in the series by giving them powers as Stretch Monster, all so they could eventually be captured and studied by his alter ego.]]
* MysteriousPast: So far, it hasn't been explained how [[spoiler:Rook became Stretch Monster, why he likely attempted to kill Dr. C, or why he wants to re-start human evolution.]]
* [[spoiler:VillainWithGoodPublicity]]:
* [[spoiler:VisionaryVillain]]: He wants to [[spoiler: recreate humanity in his own image. That would be the stretchy, super-powered, Flex Monster version of himself, not the human version.]]
* [[spoiler:VoluntaryShapeShifting:]] [[spoiler: Into Stretch Monster.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Kind of goes without saying.

[[folder: Malcom Kane]]
->'''Voiced by: (English)''' Creator/KeithDavid\\

----
* BadassNormal: Has no special powers, but can easily hold his own in a fight where he's greatly outnumbered.
* DefrostingIceKing: Was none too fond of the Flex Fighters when he first met them, but he's softening up a little.
* HeelFaceTurn: Made one sometime before the events of the series. He used to be a gang member, but left to work with Rook, whose main goal was to clean up the city. [[spoiler: Potentially subverted, depending on whether or not he allies himself with Rook when and if he finds out that Rook is really Stretch Monster.]]
* HyperCompetentSidekick: While Rook is by no means clueless or stupid, Kane takes a far less casual approach to his role.
* GeniusBruiser: He's Rook Unlimited's head scientist, and is also very skilled in hand-to-hand combat.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is incredibly tough on the Flex Fighters, and questions many of Rook's decisions, but only because he genuinely cares about the people of Charter City.
* TheMentor: He's given this role when it comes to overseeing the Flex Fighters. Initially, he's less than thrilled.
* TheStoic: Nathan describes him as an "angry robot".
* WellDoneSonGuy: Absolutely has shades of this with the Flex Fighters. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when a star-struck Ricardo at one point asks [[CrowningMomentOfFunny if Kane will be his father.]]
* PapaWolf: He's definitely somewhat protective of the Flex fighters, though he does his best to keep it from showing.

!The Flex Fighters


[[folder: Jake "Stretch" Armstrong]]
->'''Voiced by: (English)''' Creator/ScottMenville\\

Leader of the Flex Fighters, Jake was a perfectly normal High School student with a jam-packed schedule, attending Charter City's "Academy of Future Leadership". After an accident while free-running dropped him and his two friends into a Rook Unlimited lab, they were exposed to a manufactured compound called "flexarium" and given unique RubberMan-esque abilities.

----
* {{Adorkable}}: He's called a nerd by Ricardo, is very passionate about schoolwork, plays violin and cello, and is extremely excited about Rook Unlimited technology. Also, when he tries to talk to Riya for the first time, he becomes an awkward, babbling mess.
* TheAce: Has shades of this. His grades have barely slipped since he began having a double life, he still manages to attend most of his extracurriculars, and mastered his powers very quickly.
* BuffySpeak: A few examples, like "lie sandwich" and "secret ninja party."
* ColorCodedCharacters: Blue. His uniform is blue, along with his superhero suit. He also has blue stripes on the hoodie he wears as casual attire.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Has been fantasizing about Riya since she first transferred to their school, and finally gets the nerve up to ask her out to their school dance. When she says yes, an episode of PowerIncontinence means he's unable to pick her up, and having Ricardo do him a favor and take her to the dance ends with them [[spoiler: unexpectedly falling for each other, with Jake left out in the cold.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: He's able to create a helmet that tracks and ''attracts'' the malfunctioning stretchipedes out of stuff found in Nathan's garage.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's blond, and cares greatly about his friends, father, and the citizens of Charter City.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: It's starting to look like [[spoiler: he and the other Flex Fighters will become this thanks to Rook making them out to be public enemies.]]
* LivingADoubleLife: Big time. Hiding his superhero career
from his father is one of the main conflicts for his character.
* PowerIncontinence: Experiences brief incidents of this in "Singularity Event". It's resolved by the end of the episode.
* RubberMan: A more literal example than his teammates; he can stretch every part of his body and is extremely flexible.
* SecretIdentity: Jake adamantly insists he and the other Flex Fighters have these before they agree to work for Rook. [[spoiler:It comes in handy when Rook later makes them public enemies.]]
* StalkerWithACrush: A more innocent version than most examples, but he's had a crush on Riya for over a year, dreams about marrying her and having "2.5 kids" with her, all before he's spoken to her even once.
* TheChosenOne: One of the "Tech Men" in "Crisis at the Cleo" implies Jake may have some undiscovered ability or significance that makes him more unique than the other Flex Fighters.

[[folder: Nathan "Wingspan" Park]]
->'''Voiced by: (English)''' Creator/StevenYeun\\

Jake's childhood friend, a rather neurotic young man with seven siblings. After the accident that gave him and his friends superpowers, he gains the ability to glide using retractable flaps between his arms and legs. Nathan is much more cautious and paranoid than his teammates, often voicing his concerns in battle. After becoming Rook Unlimited's official superhero team, along with Jake and Ricardo, he is given the name "Wingspan."

----
* {{Adorkable}}: Even moreso than Jake. He has a tendency to babble when uncomfortable or worried, is extremely nervous at times, and seems to constantly assume the worst thing that can happen ''will'' happen. Given that he also attends The Academy of Future Leadership, it can be assumed he's also quite intelligent.
* AsianAndNerdy: Is Korean, and pretty geeky.
* BrainyBrunette
* ColorCodedCharacters: Wears a green tie while in his school uniform, his superhero suit is green, and his civilian clothes are also green.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Has a massive crush on the red-haired Erika.
* RubberMan: To a lesser degree than Jake; his main ability is his [[CaptainObvious wingspan]], but he can also stretch his limbs considerably more than an average human.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Has six brothers and one sister, and claims he himself loses count of how many siblings he really has.
* NervousWreck: Has tendencies that resemble this. By his own admission, he's normally scared of everything.
* NotQuiteFlight: His abilities enable him to glide for great distances, and he's also been shown taking off from the ground, but he doesn't fly in the traditional sense.

[[folder: Ricardo "Omni-Mass" Perez]]
->'''Voiced by: (English)''' OgieBanks

A new student who recently transferred to the Academy for Future Leadership. After being paired with Jake and Nathan for a botany project, he convinces them to have a little fun, which eventually leads to the events that give them their powers. Ricardo is given the ability to alter the size and mass of different parts of his body, and is dubbed "Omni-Mass" by Rook Unlimited.

----
* AerithAndBob: The Flex Fighters' names are Stretch, Wingspan, and... ''Omni-Mass.''
* AffectionateNickname: Nathan and Jake sometimes shorten Omni-Mass name to "Omni."
* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: A minor, platonic example of this, but Ricardo starts avoiding Nathan and his family out of concern that he'll just be moving again soon, so there's no reason to get attached. Thankfully, he later decides this is a bad idea.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Red. His superhero suit is red, as is his signature red hoodie, which he wears in and out of his school uniform.
* DatingCatwoman: Might have had shades of this when [[spoiler:Riya was revealed to be Blindstrike, but it quickly becomes a SubvertedTrope when Riya/Blindstrike turns out to be on the Flex Fighters' side.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: He's shaping up to be one.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Is the only one of the Flex Fighters who is immediately overcome with glee at the thought of being a superhero.
--> '''Ricardo:''' (While mocking Jake) [[SarcasmMode Ooh, I have superpowers, but my homework's late! Boo hoo!]]
* LonelyRichKid: While never stated as being exceedingly wealthy, Ricardo somehow got into the Academy for Future Leadership with very poor grades, and lives in a beautiful penthouse apartment. The lonely aspect comes from his parents being perpetually absent.
* NotSoDifferent: Has a moment like this with Riya when he picks her up for the school dance in place of Jake. It eventually leads to [[spoiler: a mutual attraction between them.]]
* ReallyMovesAround: Ricardo has moved around enough to have a pretty jaded view of high school life by the time
the series Stretch Armstrong starts.
* RubberMan: Just like Nathan, has a slight version of this to go with his mass
and size related powers.
* ShipperOnDeck: Encourages both Nathan and Jake to talk to Erika and Riya, respectively.
* StepfordSmiler: Ricardo's parents are almost always absent, but he acts like being left alone all
the Flex Fighters.time is great, since he can do whatever he wants and just eat cold cereal for dinner. However, it's shown in "Singularity Event" that he's very hurt when his dad can't make it home to have dinner with him. He also jumps at the chance to join Nathan's family for dinner, and which ends up becoming a regular thing.
