1The Centsables are a group of six anthropomorphic superheroes defending the city of Centcinnati from evildoers while teaching kids about economics and financial responsibility. Recommended for the complex and oddly compelling storylines.

3Currently airing on the Creator/{{Fox}} Business channel in the spirit of {{Saturday Morning Cartoon}}s.

5!!Tropes:
6* AllCGICartoon: Yes. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Also, the visual work and dialog on the show wasn’t the point in production]]; the Greek Tragedy, er, education is.
7* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Arguably the point of the show.
8* AttackOfTheKillerWhatever: [=ATMs=] come to life and attack people in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin “Attack Of The [=ATMs=]”]].
9* TheChosenMany: The Centsables banded together to protect their fair city in green, yellow, and white outfits made of tights, masks, and capes.
10* ComicBookTime: Befitting the comic-esque genre the setting is a RetroUniverse with mini-{{Time Skip}}s to establish that something happened it was just took a long time or something that normally takes along time such as recovering from identity theft happens quickly.
11* CutLexLuthorACheck: Comes up in the show every once in a while, such as a [[FountainOfYouth de-aging ray]] not showing up after the HeelFaceTurn after showing the results to be pretty pleasant.
12* EdutainmentShow: Banking
13* FlintstoneTheming: Banking.
14** Aquatine: Sussy B: [[BirdPeople Duck]]: [[FeatherFingers Winged]] {{Flight}} and [[MakingASplash control over water]] to the point of [[ElementalEmbodiment transforming into water]]: Almost certainly a water fowl.
15** Greenback: Franklin: Turtle: TheLeader with the [[SuperToughness impregnable shell]].
16** Hurlwind: Hamilton: Squirrel: [[ImprobableAimingSkills Infallible marksmanship]] and catapult tail that launches [[TrickArrow trick acorns]]: Think ComicBook/GreenArrow as an anthropomorphic animal.
17** Torro-Nada: Jackson: Bovine: [[NotQuiteFlight Flight]] via [[BlowYouAway command over winds]].
18** Ursa Major: Grant: {{Bear|yFunny}}: SizeShifter, but so far he has not shrunk to smaller than usual size.
19** Veloci-[[ShapedLikeItself Rabbit]]: Penny: [[RighteousRabbit Rabbit]]: A classic [[SuperSpeed speedster]], perhaps with super hearing.
20* HarmlessVillain: Many of the villains on the show are pretty non-malicious, even if given the opportunity.
21* {{Pun}}: The show loves them, such as HomeBase being in the '''''Cent'''''cinnati head bank.
22* SecretIdentity: The setting consists of LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy. However, the Centsables hide their identities from the general population; seemingly deconstructed, possibly because the heroes appear to be [[PaperThinDisguise six well-known bank employees]] in costumes.
23* SliceOfLife: Banking, [[RuleOfThree again]].
24* MissionControl: The human Buck user of ForensicPhlebotinum, [[TheFaceless whose face is always obscured]], kind of like a good guy version of [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget Dr. Claw]].
25* NotGrowingUpSucks: The villain Bouncing Baby Boy looks much like an infant, but is in reality a MadScientist of indeterminate age specializing in [[GadgeteerGenius gadgets]].
26* VerySpecialEpisode: Downplayed, but every episode features some surprisingly dark moments of subtext such as "vitamins" being used to make a character feel adequate in life, running away with a "child-like genius" to get a perfect life, identity theft gangs, and pretty decent people willing to look the other way for one reason or another enabling crime to happen.
