"The Infinity Guard is the last vestige of hope left in the universe!"
Quinn

The Infinity Guard is an intergalactic space organisation.


  • Big Good: As an intergalactic peace-keeping force, they're meant to be this, especially in Quinn's eyes. Except then it turns out the majority of them are working for the Lord Commander.
  • Evil All Along: It is revealed that most of the Infinity Guard have sworn allegiance to Lord Commander and are assisting him in his plans
  • Hope Bringer: As shown in the above quote, Quinn seems to view them as such.
  • Informed Ability: Supposed to be an elite peacekeeping armada. Despite having the advantage in technology, weapons, and numbers. They are mostly outmatched by the combined efforts of a Cowboy Cop, A mercenary, and an idiot.
  • Redshirt Army. Blown up in large numbers with little or no consequence to the plot.
  • Space Police: They Infinity Guard are an intergalactic police force.

Leaders

    Superior Stone 

Superior Stone

Voiced by: John DiMaggio

One of Quinn's superiors.


  • Asshole Victim: He gets sucked into an artificial black hole created by Gary using Avocato's black hole gun.
  • Bald of Authority: He's a bald man who's one of the leaders of the Infinity Guard.
  • Corrupt Cop: He turns out to be working for the Lord Commander.
  • Da Chief: He's Quinn's superior in the Infinity Guard and refuses her request to investigate the breech in space that's threatening Earth. Turns out he's against her investigating it because he's corrupt and working with the Lord Commander.
  • Hate Sink: Superior Stone is shown throughout his entire screen time to be a huge scumbag. He was very rude to Quinn in chapter 2 and then betrays her in episode 5. He gets what he deserves after Gary kills him with Avocato’s black hole gun.
  • Jerkass: His first appearance has him being needlessly abrasive to Quinn, refusing her evidence out of hand and refusing her request to investigate the danger to the universe. His next appearance reveals him to be Evil All Along.
  • Les Collaborateurs: He's been working with the Lord Commander to further his agenda.
  • Mole in Charge: He's one of the leaders of the Infinity Guard and he's secretly working with the Lord Commander to cause the gravitational anomaly threatening the universe and shut down any attempt from within to investigate it.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He's one of the leaders of the Infinity Guard, he forbids Quinn from investigating the breech in space, and then orders her arrest when she investigates anyway. He's also working for the Lord Commander and helping open the breech in space. Despite this, he only gets two very short scenes before his death.
  • We Can Rule Together: He makes Quinn and offer to join with him and the Lord Commander. Gary overreacts and makes an impassioned plea for her not to do it, even when Quinn makes it abundantly clear there's not a snowball's chance in hell that she'll take Stone up on that offer.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Gary kills him in his second appearance.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Stone claims that opening the breech in space would flood Earth with light and there'd be no more death. Quinn points out, of course there'd be no more death, since everyone would be dead already. Stone's response isn't exactly coherent, calling into question if he really is well-intentioned, a liar, or just plain insane.

    Commander Ergon 

Commander Ergon

"These were our people. Now they're ghosts of broken families. I carry that weight with every command... just as you will, Quinn."
Voiced by: Debra Wilson

Quinn's mother, and Stone's predecessor.


  • Abusive Parents: She loves her daughters, but her idea of teaching Quinn how dangerous the life of an Infinity Guard soldier is boils down to locking her inside the IG's morgue with the corpses of recently-deceased soldiers, and telling her to picture her sister or their father among them. Keep in mind, Quinn was still a child back then.
  • Action Mom: A tough-as-nails military officer and a mother of two.
  • Ambiguous Situation: She's no longer the leader of the Infinity Guard by the time Quinn is an adult. Whether she died or simply retired isn't known.
  • Dad the Veteran: Or rather Mom the Veteran. Assuming she's still alive by the time the show takes place, she would be this. She's no longer the leader of the Infinity Guard, anyway.
  • Lady of War: She's a very stern and stoic-looking commanding officer.
  • No Name Given: Well, we know that her family name is "Ergon", but her first name isn't revealed.

John Goodspeed

Voiced by: Ron Perlman

Gary's father who was killed investigating a gravitational anomaly.


  • Action Dad: A member of the space police and Gary's father.
  • Deceased Parents Are the Best: Every flashback shown featuring him and Gary establish John as a good, loving father who looked out for his son's well-being and happiness. Naturally he dies in a tragic accident.
  • Disappeared Dad: He died when Gary was a child during a mission to investigate the gravitational anomaly in space.
  • Get Out!: He kicked Sheryl out as soon as he learned she was using him to spy on the Infinity Guard, though the final straw was her telling Gary to shut up.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: He gave his life to activate the antimatter bomb to close Final Space.
  • Like Father, Like Son: It seems that some of Gary's... unusual thought processes can be attributed to John. When he and an adult Gary briefly reunite due to time travel, a few seconds is all it takes for them to bond anew by doing things like, taking advantage of time being frozen to beating the crap out an enemy and take selfies while doing it.
    John: Who the hell are you? And why did time freeze? Did you freeze time? (pulls gun) You time-freezing demon!
  • The Lost Lenore: Deconstructed. His widow, Sheryl, was heartbroken after his Heroic Sacrifice, unfortunately this made her neglect their son due to focusing on her own grief. And then abandoning Gary, citing that her reason was because John's death wiped out any part that could love. However, instead of portraying her as sympathetic, it only reinforces her selfishness and emotional abuse to her son, who was also grieving his father's death.
  • Morality Chain: Implied. When Gary asks why Sheryl wants nothing to do with him, she cites that after John's death, any love in her heart was gone.
  • Not So Above It All: You'd think that as a heroic astronaut, he'd be much more serious than his son. He's... well, he's definitely Gary's father.
  • Papa Wolf: He doesn't even hesitate to order his wife to Get Out! after she tells their infant son to shut up.
  • The Promise: When Gary was a kid, John made him promise that he'd have his own adventures. Bunches and bunches. Before he sacrifices his life to save the planet, he makes Gary promise him something else. To save the universe.
  • Seen It All: When Gary tells him that he's kind of romantically involved with two versions of the same girl, John assumes it has to do with time travel and casually says he's been there.
  • So Proud of You: Gary and him are reunited thanks to time travel, and just before John goes on to sacrifice himself to save the Earth, he tells Gary just how proud he is of the man he's become.
  • Time-Freeze Trolling Spree: After learning that Jack's future self in Gary's time is a psychopath who is the reason his son has a robot arm and lost his best friend, John decides in a heartbeat to take Gary's word for it, then they proceed to bond over beating the ever-living crap out of John's Jack whilst the latter is frozen in time by Gary's presence.
  • Uncertain Doom: The last time we see John, he takes advantage of time being frozen to survive the destruction of his ship and performs a Heroic Sacrifice by manually detonating the anti-matter bomb to seal the Breach. However, Quinn did the exact same thing and survived, at the cost of being trapped in Final Space. Sure, she ended up falling ill to Final Space poisoning and almost died as a result, so it can be assumed that even if John did survive the blast he ended up dying from the same poisoning after being trapped in Final Space himself. However, we never get confirmation for that and his body is never found, ultimately leaving his final fate ambiguous.

    Chuck 

Chuck

Voiced by: Conan O'Brien

A member of the Infinity Guard sent to capture Quinn after she goes rogue.


  • Butt-Monkey: He spends all of his screen time being insulted by Quinn, humiliated in front of his officers and then sucked into the breech in space that kills him.
  • Death by Cameo: He's voiced by Conan O'Brien who's the show's Executive Producer.
  • Hero Antagonist: As far as he knows, Chuck's justified in going after Quinn since she did technically break the law by going rogue and stealing a spaceship. Unfortunately he doesn't get a chance to help Quinn when he finds out that she went rogue for perfectly justified reasons.
  • Just Following Orders: He's not happy about arresting Quinn, but he does so because it's Superior Stone's orders.
  • Lame Last Words: Getting sucked into a breech in space would normally be an impressive way to die if it wasn't for the words he chose to go out on.
    Chuck: I am not a douche-canoe!

    Shannon Thunder 

Shannon Thunder

Voiced by: Shannon Purser

  • Fangirl: Huge fan of Tribore and thinks he's an immense badass.
  • Ignored Enamored Underling: Is visibly and vocally attracted to Tribore, her commander in the Resistance. He has no idea at first, doesn't seem to care much for her in return, and brushes it off when she actually confesses.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: After Tribore explains that he is literally in love with himselfnote  and stuck in a sort of Star-Crossed Lovers situation, she’s confused and disappointed but still supports him enough to strap a mirror to her face and act out a dinner date.

    Avery Ergon 

Avery Ergon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/averyergon.jpg
Voiced by: Krystal Joy Brown

Quinn's younger sister, introduced in the fifth episode of Season 3 through a series of flashbacks.


  • Big Sister Worship: It's suggested that she secretly feels this towards Quinn on some level.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Avery was implied to be the foolish sibling to Quinn's responsible. She was shown to be impulsive and arrogant in her attempt to prove herself superior to Quinn, nearly drowning while chasing a beacon despite Quinn's protests, and ignoring Quinn's orders during combat, running off to the frontlines and dying in the ensuing explosion. It was implied by a medical AI that Avery's actions were due to the fact she greatly looked up to Quinn, rather than being jealous of her.
  • Gender-Blender Name: While "Avery" is traditionally a male given name, Avery Ergon is a woman.
  • Informed Kindness: Various characters (especially Quinn) heavily imply that Avery's abrasive insistence on competing with her sister is simply just a mask to hide how much she deeply looks up to Quinn and wants to be on her level of capabilities. However, Avery's actual attitude seems to suggest otherwise. She uses her screentime to be nothing but hostile and cold to Quinn, never once showing signs of true affection towards her or any emotional vulnerability. She also seemingly died in war all because she selfishly refused all of Quinn’s orders.
  • Jerkass: On top of her Foolish Sibling points above; snidely mocking Quinn at every turn is one thing, but Avery is nothing but bitter and aloof towards her sister when the latter is worrying sick about Avery just after the latter was resuscitated from drowning.
  • The Lad-ette: A military girl through and through.
  • Posthumous Character: She died years before the events of the show, and we don't even learn about her existence until halfway through Season 3.
  • Sibling Rivalry: Though it was apparently mostly on Avery's part, she kept pushing Quinn to do her best even if it means engaging in life-threatening situations. It almost gets her killed at one point.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: She looks a lot like a younger version of her and Quinn's mother. She also looks just like Quinn with a different haircut.
