List of My Life as a Teenage Robot characters
This is a list of characters from the Nickelodeon animated series My Life as a Teenage Robot.
Main[edit]
- Jennifer "Jenny" Wakeman (Robotic Global Response Unit Model No. XJ-9) (voiced by Janice Kawaye) is the "teenage robot" to which the title refers, one of the four state-of-the-art, sentient XJ-9-series gynoid automaton humanoid werespider girls created by Dr. Noreen Wakeman five years prior to the series, along with her quadruplet sisters colored pink, green and violet. Though she was designed to be Earth's protector armed to the teeth with a wide range of weapons, devices and transformations, she desires to live the life of a normal teenager and often makes this covet quite apparent to her friends. Jenny's personality is often kind, friendly and optimistic, though this also comes with being rather naive as to her surroundings. Often, people like the Crust Cousins and Vexus take advantage of Jenny's friendliness to further their own goals, though she usually catches on and comes out victorious in the end. Jenny can also be somewhat of a sucker for trends, even when her mechanical designs prevent her from using them, as evidenced when she wanted to pierce her ears at one point despite not having any ears (Ear No Evil). Though capable of human emotions, having human facial expressions and possessing fully functional tear ducts, Jenny does not seem to possess the ability to dream or experience physical sensations; though there were two episode segments where she received those abilities, in the case of the sense of touch it caused more harm than good and was removed by the end of the episode. She is also able to speak Japanese through a language OS (in actuality it's because her voice actress, Janice Kawaye, is of Japanese descent and can speak near-fluent Japanese). Jenny stands at 6.5 feet (1.98 m) tall (according to her mother, Nora Wakeman in Raggedy Android) and weighs roughly 600 lbs. (revealed by Jenny herself in Historionics). She has blue pigtails with bolts connecting them to her head, blue bangs, white skin, blue "clothes" (a tank top and a miniskirt), a belly bolt (a bolt that simulates a belly button), hands with four fingers each and center holes and a "false nose". Her body processes are carried out by a fully functional, metallic electronic brain, which her eyes are connected to (as shown in the episode Mind Over Matter). Her body also contains several access ports for downloading, charging, and other purposes.
- Dr. Noreen "Nora" Wakeman (voiced by Candi Milo) is an elderly robotics scientist who built the XJ robots. She is often simply referred to as "Mother" or "Mom" by Jenny and her sisters. Though Nora does indeed love her "daughter", she often butts into Jenny's personal life and is known to call on her at the most awkward moments (akin to the stereotypical embarrassing parent). She also has a difficult time with modern-day slang and other teenage fads, earning Jenny's annoyance on many occasions. At the beginning of the series, Nora originally insisted on Jenny's existence being kept a secret, restricting her to her bedroom outside her superhero activities. But she soon allows her some more freedom, to the point of allowing Jenny to socialize with human teenagers, and go to public high school. In one episode it is revealed that Nora has a New-Ager sister, Wisteria, whom she clashes with every time they meet. Aunt Wisteria believes in "fun, peace, and love" and has a strange ability to control plant life. Jenny and her cousin Glenn (Wisteria's friendly plant-monster son) staged a fight, forcing Nora and Wisteria to move past their differences and become friends. Despite being only human, Nora shows no reluctance in fighting when necessary. In her youth, Nora was a shining officer of the global defense group "The Skyway Patrol" before retiring to Tremorton. Even in her advanced years, Nora is still very able, and can even hold her own in a fight against Vexus. Nora has a noticeable habit of pronouncing a one syllable word as two, most notably her pronunciation of the word nine as ny-ine. It was revealed she was a prodigy, creating her first defense droid (Lil’ Acorn) when she was 14, but then remodeling it for show business. In "Good Old Sheldon" she uses a special machine to lower her age, but due to power restraints no noticeable difference can be seen in her appearance.
- Bradley "Brad" Carbunkle (voiced by Chad Doreck) is Tuck's older brother and Jenny's best friend and next-door neighbor. He is outgoing and adventurous, and is the first friend Jenny ever made. Although he usually tends to cause more trouble than he prevents, he means well and tries to help Jenny in any way he can. Brad likes to think of himself as a "ladies' man", but he's almost anything but that, as seen when the local girls reject all his pick-up lines and it is rare for a girl to like him. However, later on he develops a crush on Melody Locus, but seemed to have lost her after she was revealed to be a robot herself.
- Tucker "Tuck" Cornelius Carbunkle (voiced by Audrey Wasilewski) is Brad's younger brother. He is usually tagging along with his brother and Jenny, though his aptitude for adventure is significantly less than Brad's. This can be chalked up to his many childish fears, among them the dark and giant wheels. In spite of all his fears, after adventures or life-threatening experiences, he will often shout "That was awesome!" and blabber about what happened. Despite initial fears of Jenny, Tuck has since warmed up to her as a friend. Tuck has proven to be more clever than he looks on several occasions, often sweet-talking Jenny and others into doing favors.
- Sheldon Oswald Lee (voiced by Quinton Flynn) is Jenny's self-proclaimed romantic admirer and friend. Though not as heavily featured as the rest of the main cast, Sheldon arguably qualifies as a core member of the group. Jenny refuses his romantic advances, though she does care for him as a close friend. Throughout the series Sheldon has saved Jenny quite a few times and helped her fight off villains; deeply grateful for Sheldon's utmost loyalty to her, Jenny has shown genuine feelings of affection for him, kissing him on the cheek twice. In an interview, series creator Rob Renzetti revealed he and his team would have loved to have seen Jenny and Sheldon as a couple before the series' premature cancellation. Being skilled in robotics, Sheldon has created gadgets and modifications for Jenny, usually very unnecessarily bulky and extravagant, as well as doing minor repair work. He has even done more extreme modifications when requested by XJ-9, usually when Dr. Wakeman refuses to do them herself. His skill has led to his creating a robotic alter-ego, The Silver Shell. Sheldon originally created the identity in an attempt to convince Jenny that robot boys were jerks, though this backfired when Jenny's affection for the robot grew even greater. As a hero, the Silver Shell has an imposing appearance, and a 'smooth' demeanor, and an excess of confidence, all qualities the human Sheldon lacks in his normal guise. Although his age in the series is confirmed to be 15, a mishap in the space-time continuum caused him to live 75 years in space, doing odd jobs to earn money, and even captaining a space pirate ship. Due to the theory of relativity, he returns to Earth as an old man, while Jenny and the others haven't aged a day. Using Wakeman's age reverser, Jenny accidentally de-ages him into an infant. His space pirate crew returns and takes him into space to age him further. One day later, he is 15 again. Therefore, his true age is 105.
Allies[edit]
- Princess Vega (voiced by Thora Birch) is the princess and current ruler of Cluster Prime and estranged daughter of the former Queen Vexus. She had befriended fugitive Jenny, after Jenny was able to escape out of Vexus' clutches. She and Jenny are similar as she is also a teenager and has robot friends that look just like Jenny's friends. Originally Vega generally was unaware of her mother's villainy and believed her when she framed Jenny for stealing all of the golden computer chips. However, after discovering that all the computer chips were actually in her palace, Vega realized that her mother Vexus was behind the plot. She and Jenny both fought Vexus and got her to admit the crime. Vexus was later dethroned as queen and Vega took over as her heir. She asked Jenny to stay in Cluster Prime, but Jenny claimed that she belonged on Earth. Vega understood, but she wanted Jenny to come visit her sometime; Jenny happily promised to do that when she could.
- Drab (voiced by Chad Doreck) is Brad's Cluster Prime counterpart.
- Tuff is Tuck's Cluster Prime counterpart.
- Shell (voiced by Quinton Flynn) is Sheldon's Cluster Prime counterpart. His name is not to be confused and has nothing to do with Sheldon's robot ego, "Silver Shell".
- Starting in "Shell Game", Sheldon creates a robot suit called the Silver Shell (voiced by Quinton Flynn).
- Wisteria Wakeman is the aunt of Nora Wakeman.
- Glenn Wakeman is a friendly plant-monster, the created son of Wisteria Wakeman and one of Jenny's cousins.
Villains[edit]
The Cluster[edit]
The most villainous group of robotic insect-like aliens bent on invading Earth and stopping XJ-9. These include:
Cluster Ambassador[edit]
The Cluster has an ambassador (voiced by Wally Wingert) as a large red beetle-like robot whose mission is to convince Jenny to the Cluster. Jenny resisted, wishing to remain with humans on Earth. The ambassador was deactivated after Tuck discovered the off switch on his back.
Queen Vexus[edit]
Queen Vexus (voiced by Eartha Kitt and Cree Summer) is the cunning, villainous, and manipulative queen and former ruler of Cluster Prime who is bent on the enslavement of the human race. A sneaky queen-bee-like android, she has assumed various disguises, including photographer in "Hostile Makeover", the robot nurse Vee in "Tradeshow Showdown", the flirtatious teenage robot QT-2 in "Designing Women", and even the transfer student Vicky in "Queen Bee". Vexus was enemies with Dr. Wakeman. First appearing in "Hostile Makeover", Vexus infected Jenny with a nanobot, transforming her into a giant monster and using her as her minion. Vexus’ plan is foiled when Wakeman manages to short-circuit her creation and remove the nanobot to make Jenny revert to normal. She later showed up in "Tradeshow Showdown" where she used technopathy to assimilate all the robots and machines in the convention, only for Jenny to deactivate every single one of them. Eventually, in "Designing Women", Vexus grew tired of Jenny always defeating her drones with the seemingly endless gadgets she can pull out at will. In disguise as "QT-2", Vexus tricked Sheldon out of Jenny's master blueprints (which he originally stole to find the way to her heart). Vexus nearly had Jenny beat, now able to calculate her every move, but some quick thinking outside the box left Jenny the victor in the end.
Near the end of Season 2, which is in the TV movie "Escape from Cluster Prime", Vexus attempts to bring Jenny into the Cluster on the tricentennial of Tremorton. When the fight is over, Vexus escaped via teleporter on her hovercraft. After the townsfolk shun Jenny for the damage to the town and the ruined festivities, Jenny is left to clean up the mess, and she accidentally stumbles through the Cluster portal, landing in her enemies' home planet. Completely unaware of this turn of events, Vexus finally loses patience and pulls a full-scale invasion of Earth. During Jenny's time on Cluster Prime, she realizes that Vexus has been lying to her people. There, the robot XJ-9 has been painted as the barbaric android who stole the planet's supply of golden computer chips (the part that functions their weapons systems), when it was really Vexus who was guilty of the crime (however, comically because of the barbaric overtones in her poster, no one on Cluster Prime even realized she was XJ-9). In the end, Vexus was overthrown, and it is assumed her benevolent daughter, Princess Vega, took the throne.
However, Vexus appears again in "Trash Talk" and "Queen Bee", repeatedly attempting to exact her revenge of Jenny for her loss of power. In the former she is clearly starting to lose control of her mind, creating a spaceship for escape that could only contain a hamster. Later, Vexus returns to Tremorton and pretends to be "Violet" at Tremorton High, but Jenny was able to recognize her without even having to remove her disguise. The Crust Cousins run into Vexus, and take her with them, and she would learn slang. On the next day, Brit & Tiff introduce Vexus as "Vicky", and she was able to beat Jenny in "fitting in and being popular". However, Vexus (disguised as "Vicky") was becoming even more popular than the Crust Cousins themselves. She had nearly defeated Jenny by using disruptors placed around the school by Brit & Tiff. The Crusts had no other choice but to remove the devices they had planted earlier, so they wouldn't "remain as social outcasts". Vexus is left buried in a pile of ice cubes, but she was no longer popular when Jenny told the students that their "queen was two thousand years old".
Smytus[edit]
Commander Smytus (Voiced by Steven Blum) is a large, bulky green and black beetle-like robot commander of the Cluster. Only his green and brown Cluster drones that Vexus sent when Jenny took out in "Hostile Makeover" until he made his first appearance in "Dressed to Kill" where an accident on his starship caused him to lose a case of super-powered Pip-Crystals; the crystals landed on Earth, especially on the dresses Brit and Tiff Crust were examining for the upcoming prom. With the Crust cousins in control of the crystals, Smytus quickly lost and was shrunk to the size of a beetle (it is unknown how he later returned to normal). The fight over the Pip-Crystals ended with Jenny cleverly showed the Crust cousins an article deeming crystals out of style, and the crystal-covered gowns were locked away. Later, Smytus managed to catch Jenny in a trap and then assimilate her into the Cluster, an act that sent out a distress signal which automatically reactivated prototypes XJ-1 through -8. After many failed attemps to save Jenny, Smytus managed to assimilate the prototype XJ robots but later failed when XJ-8 cancelled the assimilation by hacking off the assimilating arm with her ax arm. The prototype XJ robots ideally trapped Smytus' assimilated Cluster-possessed Jenny the same way the Cluster's troops did to Jenny, strangle and tie her down with strong ropes around, and used millions, but untold amounts of strong dynamite, gunpowder, propane, grenades, nuclear, proton, fuse, and time bombs to ingest her in the body which can destroy her. Thanks to XJ-8 igniting a lighter, she threw the assimilated Cluster-possessed Jenny away miles in the sky and caused her to malfunction, resulting in a huge explosion into smithereens, killing her to death.
While in his third Earth invasion in "Escape from Cluster Prime", when Vexus launched her invasion on the Earth, Smytus was put in charge of enslaving all humans on Earth and putting them to work building more robots for their army. When Brad and Tuck rounded up a mini coup to force the Cluster to leave, Smytus set to detonate Earth instead. Once Jenny had left Cluster Prime free of Vexus and with their golden computer chips returned, she came back to save Earth from being blown up. In a last resort, however, Smytus set himself to self-destruct, but Jenny evacuated his ship of all her friend and allies, and then she tossed Smytus' ship deep into space where the resulting explosion wouldn't harm her home world. Smytus somehow survived his own detonation and appeared again, along with Vexus and Krackus, on a garbage asteroid. When Jenny happened upon that asteroid in "Trash Talk", Vexus planned to drain her of her energy, but the three got into an argument over how to use it.
Krackus[edit]
Krackus (voiced by Jim Ward) is a crackpot inventor of the Cluster and seen as a joke, even by his own race, as his creations are known for falling apart. His first appearance was in "Around the World in Eighty Pieces". In this episode, Krackus appears to be rather absent-minded, as he continues to forget Jenny's name. However, he actually manages to do something productive for the Cluster in this episode: cause Jenny to literally fall to pieces and scatter her pieces across the world; only her head and hands were rescued from the scattering by Brad, Tuck, and Sheldon. Krackus planned on hailing Vexus immediately to summon an invasion, but his communicator fell apart as he tried to call her. Jenny managed to gather up all her pieces before Krackus fixed his communicator except a critical part that held her together, but she and her friends manage to fool Vexus and Krackus with some clever thinking, and the queen angrily pulled the inventor back to Cluster Prime before either could become the wiser.
Teamed up with Vexus in "Toying with Jenny", they are both disguised themselves as G. Petto in order to trick Jenny into making toy versions of her and her quadruplets, which were evil toys to destroy her. However, Brad and Tuck find the master power switch and shut the toys down.
In "Escape from Cluster Prime", he was sent to unleash nanobots he invented to torment the citizens of Tremorton. However, the citizens find ways to defeat them. Later, he was on board Smytus' ship when he detonated, but he too survived, somehow. He appeared again in "Trash Talk", where he took part in Vexus and Smytus' scheme to drain Jenny's energy.
Snarus[edit]
Snarus (voiced by Jim Ward) is the Cluster Police Officer in Cluster Prime, only making his appearance in "Escape From Cluster Prime". He sets up a decoy to lure Jenny and attempt to arrest her with his lower-rank Cluster police drones. When Jenny is exposed from her disguise, she is falsely matched to her criminalized propaganda as a barbaric drone stealing golden chips. She escaped and he tells the drone to chase after her.
The Space Bikers[edit]
Starting in "The Return of Raggedy Android", The Space Bikers are a gang of fish-like alien bikers (most of the gang is made up of women, while only one of them is a male) who like to cause mayhem on Earth. However, it was revealed in the third season that all five of the gang work at a school on their home planet, and their homeworld is much like Earth, and that their role as bikers is merely just a hobby. Among its members are:
Letta[edit]
The leader of the Space Bikers, as well as her home planet's elementary school principal. Voiced by Grey DeLisle.
Olga[edit]
The biggest, fattest, and strongest of the Space Bikers, and her home planet's elementary school nurse. She speaks with a German accent and a low voice. Voiced by Candi Milo.
Sludge[edit]
The thinnest, big-handed, and glassed-eyed of the Space Bikers, and her home planet's elementary school secretary. She speaks in a medium-pitched voice. Voiced by Candi Milo.
Tammy[edit]
Tammy is part of Letta's Space Bikers gang, she stated in her debut episode to be the newest member; she speaks in a high, squeaky voice. On her home planet, she is an elementary school teacher called "Miss Tammers". She had a crush on Brad, as revealed in the episode "Ball and Chain", where she tries to force Brad to marry her. Voiced by Janice Kawaye.
Lenny[edit]
The smallest of the Space Bikers, the only male in the gang. He acts as Letta's pet as he is usually seen on a leash. He is his home planet's elementary school janitor.
Armagedroid[edit]
Created by Dr. Wakeman about twenty years before Jenny, Armagedroid (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) was, for his time, the most advanced and powerful robot ever created. He is the size of a city block and possesses an arsenal of weapons, all of which to serve his programmed duty of disarming and destroying enemy weaponry.
Armagedroid was built by Dr. Wakeman during a major war between Skyway Patrol and a massive invasion of various alien attackers. Unfortunately, after the alien attackers were deflected, Armagedroid, being unable to discern friend from foe, began to destroy Earth's own weaponry out of a righteous crusade. In the end, Dr. Wakeman managed to convince her creation that the ultimate weapon was hidden at the core of the planet and he dug himself down through Earth's crust. He fell for it, and Armagedroid was supposedly gone forever.
Twenty years later he returned to the surface, apparently having ascertained that there were, in fact, no weapons at Earth's core. He was soon confronted by Jenny, but he easily overpowered his "little sister". Thankfully, in his restless search for weapons to destroy, Dr. Wakeman and Jenny managed to trick him into ingesting a proton bomb into his internal melting oven. The resulting explosion destroyed him.
Later, Armagedroid returned, having been rebuilt by the diminutive Killgore in a joint-effort towards revenge on Jenny (though it was never revealed as to how exactly Killgore had reassembled him). Once again, Jenny proved that Armagedroid's worst enemy was himself, as she convinced him that he himself was a weapon. With no clue as to self-preservation or irony, Armagedroid became confused and literally tore himself apart upon hearing these words.
Killgore[edit]
A pint-sized terror with a mammoth ego; he is a 10-inch-tall wind-up toy robot who will wind down and stop functioning unless his key is turned regularly. While he considers himself an evil overlord (possibly because a card bearing the word villain is tied to his diminutive frame) most people, especially girls, find his tiny form and protestations of his terrible evil endearing. He is desperate and willing to do anything to prove his dangerous nature, including reconstructing Armagedroid to do his bidding. He uses a mental attack on his enemy (e.g. repeatedly yelling "surrender!" at inconvenient and unusual places). He is also the only being to "defeat" Jenny by driving her crazy. (Voiced by Tara Strong)
Legion of Evil[edit]
Formed in "The Legion of Evil" in Season 3, the group of four/five villains can get revenge on Jenny. These include:
Mr. Vladimir "Scruffles" Wakeman[edit]
Mr. Scruffles (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson), or Vladimir Wakeman, as he has renamed himself, is one of Dr. Wakeman's lab rats. He and his mice are a reference to Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Mr. Scruffles speaks in a distinct Eastern European accent and bears a grudge against the elderly scientist for mutating his and the other lab rats' front paws and tails in Mickey Mouse fashion. He first appears in "Pest Control" where he leads the many rats in a coup d'état of Jenny's body, leaving her disembodied head behind in her bedroom, to destroy Wakeman. Jenny managed to defeat Vladmir and his army (with her head attached to Tuck's r/c race car) by luring them into the swimming pool where the rats' natural instincts forced them to "abandon ship" (Jenny's body). Wakeman kept Vladimir for further experiments while his comrades were taken away by Pest Control. His mutated look is a reference to Mickey Mouse.
Vladimir returns in the season three episode "The Legion of Evil" where he forms a group of Jenny's old foes—Lancer, the Mudslinger, and the Mad Hammer Brothers—to exact their revenge on Jenny and steal a priceless Egyptian pillow made entirely of diamond. Their plan is thwarted when Brit and two other students—Jenny's partners for a history project at school—come to her aide.
Lancer[edit]
Lancer (voiced by Quinton Flynn) is a small big-eared elf-like creature clad in a jester's costume. He conceals his true identity inside a medieval knight's armor fused with a horse's armor, and causes mayhem by stealing precious items from the citizens of Tremorton, such as money and jewelry. His debut was in the episode "Ear No Evil". He became a member of Vladimir's "Legion of Evil" later on.
Mudslinger[edit]
Mudslinger (voiced by Nick Jameson) is a corrupt elderly newspaper publisher who first appeared in "The Great Unwashed". He is hired by Brit and Tiff to ruin Jenny's new paint-job due to it giving her popularity and an invitation to Don Prima's party.
Mad Hammer Brothers[edit]
The ever-blinded Mad Hammer Brothers (both voiced by John Kassir) tear down the dam when in "Sibling Tsunami" and are part of the Legion of Evil in "The Legion of Evil" where they rob the museum until they became the Egyptian artifact.
Lonely Hearts Club Gang[edit]
The Lonely Hearts Club Gang (voiced by Daran Norris, Pat Pinney, and Bob Joles) are a group of five gangsters taking pity on anyone whose heart was crushed, as they offered Sheldon a place in their gang after they witness Jenny break his heart.
Infrared Ivan[edit]
Infrared Ivan (voiced by Joe Alaskey) is a huge eyeball alien with red and blue tentacles who appears in "See No Evil". He first appears as an invisible man with a hat and coat stealing loot and valuables. However, he reappeared in "Mist Opportunities" doing the same thing again but is stopped by Misty.
Exo-Skin[edit]
Jenny Wakeman has an evil sentient Exo-Skin (voiced by Grey DeLisle) which makes her appear as a human teenage girl. First seen in Raggedy Android, it was inanimate when Jenny donned it when trying to go to the fair at the park and appear "normal". The Exo-Skin later reappeared after upgraded by Dr. Wakeman. Gaining sentience, it also successfully made Jenny appear as an attractive "normal" human teenage girl. Jenny was tempted by the Exo-Skin to reject her true self, first due to Mr. Mezmer not allowing robots in his restaurant. When the Space Bikers arrived at the scene, Jenny escapes from the Exo-Skin, denying it due to her longing to protect her friends.
Jacques[edit]
Jacques (voiced by Bob Joles) is a former quarterback in the Tremorton Quakers football team, then currently a Poly-Tech quarterback known to cheat in football in "Grid Iron Glory". Previously, he was cut from the team by the coach after Jenny joined the team and plot revenge by joining the Poly-Tech team to crush Tremorton, but his plan failed miserably. The battle for Jacques is over as he is disqualified from the football game.
Himcules[edit]
Himcules (voiced by Bruce Campbell) is a red muscular man with a black toga. He possesses super-powers that enable him to grow stronger by humiliating his enemies. He is known for robbing banks, and appeared in "This Time With Feeling". He became stronger when Jenny had her prototype nerve projectors set to "pain", allowing him to cause her artificial pain with the slightest touch. However, with "tickle" set on her artificial nerves, Jenny laughed when beat up by Himcules. His powers diminish when he himself is humiliated, and he became a 94-pound nerdy weakling. He was promptly sent to prison by Jenny for his crimes.
Crater Critters[edit]
The ever-strong, lava-bathing Crater Critters (all voiced by Jim Wise and Dee Bradley Baker) are alien rock creatures from Mercury, known for bathing in hot lava in hot springs eating brains. Their debut appearance was in Last Action Zero. One Critter first arrived in a volcano, enjoying a hot lava bath before planning on "sampling some brains" when Jenny arrives (with Brad tagging along) to stops him. However, the Critter gets frozen by the Skyway Patrol and then taken to custody. When the rest of the Critters arrived at the volcano in their space ships, they accused Jenny of freezing the lava and then beat her up brutally. They attempted to eat her metallic brain, but Brad, along with Skyway Patrol returned to the volcano again; he and Jenny were able to defeat the Crater Critters by drowning them in the paperwork required for Brad to join the patrol.
Gigawatt[edit]
Gigawatt (voiced by Nick Jameson) is a Dracula-like energy-based alien villain, an "energy vampire" with a lightbulb-shaped head and a body made of red lightning-like plasma. He is able to consume electrical power in Tremorton while appearing in Mind Over Matter. When he arrives in Tremorton to drain its energy, Jenny tries to stop him by upgrading herself multiple times until she finds that the secret to defeating the energy-based alien is not upgrades, but cleverness. She then works together with Brad, Tuck, and Dr. Wakeman to stop Gigawatt. They discover that Gigawatt's weakness is water. He is reduced to only his lightbulb head, and Jenny imprisons him in a package.
The Illusive Mistery "Misty"[edit]
The Illusive Mistery "Misty" (voiced by Audrey Wasilewski) is a ninja alien heroine with phantasmic powers and one of Jenny's cousins. She reveals her true villainous side in the third season. She is known as a Teen Team member in Teen Team Time, in which she first became a friend and ally of Jenny.
She broke up from Teen Team during the events of Teenage Mutant Ninja Troubles and attends Jenny's Tremorton High School. She quickly gets expelled after making several vicious pranks to revenge on Brit and Tiff Crust, revealing her sadistic villainous side which disturbs Jenny.
Turning red in "Mist Opportunities" Misty and Jenny finally clash as true enemies. Misty became villainous, greedy, reckless, uncaring, and cruel all over Tremorton. She decided to perform heroic deeds for the town only for money. Misty nearly destroys Jenny, but flies off in a huff when Jenny does not fight back, telling her that she thought they were friends. Misty is not seen again afterward.
Old Weathered One[edit]
The Old Weathered One (voiced by Jack Angel) is an elderly weather-changing wizard who appeared in Weapons of Mass Distraction. He is known for robbing banks and museums using his weather-manipulating super-powers. Typically seen hiding in the shadows, he orders his two henchmen to assist him in his crimes.
Li'l Acorn[edit]
Li'l Acorn (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is one of Nora's earliest inventions, a robotic puppet which she used for her ventriloquist act as a child. He appeared in "Puppet Bride".
Dr. Locus[edit]
Dr. Locus (voiced by J. Grant Albrecht) is the father of Melody Locus. He is known for getting the memories out of Jenny Wakeman during "Bradventure", and controlling the XJ-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 at the Invention Convention, including Nora's trash eating machine when he gets eaten by at the end of "Turncoats".
Historionics[edit]
Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin (both voiced by Jim Wise), Marie Antoinette (voiced by Audrey Wasilewski), Julius Caesar (voiced by Chad Doreck), Cleopatra, Christopher Columbus, and Abe Lincoln (both voiced by Quinton Flynn) are many Historionics that are seen in Historionics. They are savage robots created by Uncle Wizzly. When Jenny, Sheldon, Brad, and Tuck had their flying trip, Tuck has caused Jenny's battery to become degraded because of his video game device. After Jenny's battle with the octopus, she and the trio of her friends successfully searched for food such as bananas and coconuts. At the start, Franklin starts their attack around the quartet including Columbus and the rest of the Historionics. They all entered into Uncle Wizzly's home and it is revealed that Uncle Wizzly is the creator of the Historionics and the manager of Historionics World. They attacked him during Jenny, Sheldon, Tuck, and Brad's chase by the Historionics and escaped with an airplane piloted by Sheldon when Tuck wanted to go to Wizzly World, Brad refuses.
Secondary characters[edit]
Mr. Mezmer[edit]
Mr. Mezmer (voiced by Victor Brandt) is the manager of Mezmer's. He is known for kicking robots out; such as Jenny and the sentient Jukebox and some Space Bikers which he first appeared in The Return of Raggedy Android. He is locked up in the freezer by Olga and rescued by Jenny when he is trapped by her Exo-Suit.
He later appeared in the third-season episode Labor Day where he sent Jenny to do some toilet work and then become hog-tied by the Space Bikers in Voyage to the Planet of the Bikers.
Ms. Binky[edit]
Ms. Binky (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is a peppy and naive Kindergarten teacher who only appeared in "I Was A Preschool Dropout".
Phineas Mogg[edit]
Dr. Phineas Mogg (voiced by Neil Ross) is a scientist who has a bitter rivalry with Dr. Noreen Wakeman. Mogg has had a history of ripping off Wakeman's experiments, or "perfecting them", as he prefers it. Mogg first appeared in "Tradeshow Showdown" where he insulted Wakeman and is unimpressed with Jenny. However, his attitude changed about her when she defeated Vexus' army, and he later set to work on designing his own version of her. As a result, Mogg's robot son, YK-9, or "Kenny" as he renames himself, makes his appearance in "Love 'Em or Leash 'Em", designed to be the perfect teenage robot boy — though he is also programmed to be part dog (due to Mogg attempting to program him to be as loyal as possible). Jenny and Kenny fell in love and secretly started dating; but Jenny broke up with Kenny when their parents disapproved, and when Jenny found out about Kenny's canine programming. He returned to Turncoats where he is also the inventor of the solar-powered machine when being shirtless for his shadows. He accused Dr. Noreen Wakeman when his machine gets eaten by her trash-eating machine.
Kenny Mogg[edit]
Kenneth "Kenny" Mogg Violet (Model No. YK-9) (voiced by James Arnold Taylor) is a YK-9-series android weredog boy designed by Dr. Phineas Mogg. When he and Jenny first meet, the two teenage robots immediately take an interest in each other. Kenny proves to be very sweet and loyal to Jenny, including using his powers to make the pizza when the party they attended was nearly ruined by a broken oven. However, Kenny had numerous strange behaviors such as showing affection with his tongue, having a peculiar interest in fire hydrants, and howling at the moon. This caused Jenny to realize that her date was part dog (before she had a dream that they would get married, live in a giant dog house, and a stork delivered their robotic puppies before Kenny was taken away by the dog catcher). Jenny kept going out with Kenny due to how popular being with him made her. This soon attracted the jealousy of Sheldon. After several failed attempts to expose the truth about Kenny (including dressing up in a cat suit and getting Kenny to chase him), Sheldon finally ran into Mogg while the scientist was looking for Kenny, and Mogg dragged his robot son home to be punished. Kenny was again seen in Agent-00 Sheldon, wherein he was one of the captured robots that was sent to destruction by an evil secret organization.
Brit and Tiff[edit]
Brittany "Brit" Crust (Voiced by: Moira Quirk) and Tiffany "Tiff" Crust (Voiced by: Cree Summer) a.k.a. The Crust Cousins, are Jenny's classmates and rivals. Brit acts like a rich girl who speaks with a British accent whereas Tiff acts like a punk girl who speaks in African-American Vernacular English despite appearing white, although creator Rob Renzetti confirmed in a fan-reply on Twitter that Tiff was biracial. These two are the popular girls in school and will do anything to humiliate Jenny (even getting help from the Mudslinger, a grungy reporter, at one point). They and Jenny are still rivals even though Jenny did save them at least a couple of times (even without getting a "thank you"). Upon first meeting them, Jenny was eager to be friends with Brit and Tiff and was oblivious to their displeasure towards her, but she soon began seeing them as they truly were. The girls become the main villains in the season one episode "Dressed to Kill" when they harness the power of the Pip Crystals, a highly powerful and dangerous space mineral lost by the Cluster's own Commander Smytus, which were sprinkled all over their prom gowns. The fight over the Pip-Crystals ended when Jenny cleverly showed the Crust cousins an article deeming crystals out of style, and the crystal-covered gowns were locked away.
In the season 2 episode "Victim of Fashion", Jenny and the Crust Cousins engage in a "down and dirty fashion war" in which Jenny downloads all the latest styles into her transformation data banks to upstage her competition. It was when the Crust cousins pulled the thin look to counter all of Jenny's "bigger and better" outfits that Jenny had Sheldon remove her weapon systems ("It's better to be fashionable than functional"), ultimately making herself vulnerable and naked to the Space Biker Gang. On the day these events took place, Brit and Tiff had dressed as motor unicycles to "beat Jenny at the transformation game," prompting the Space Bikers to use them as their getaway vehicles. It is unknown how and when they were rescued and returned home.
Amidst the many pranks pulled between the Crust cousins and the newly formed duo of Jenny and Misty, the former member of Teen Team who returns in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Troubles," which reveals that Brit is both acrophobic and aviophobic. The cousins play very minor roles in the TV movie Escape from Cluster Prime, siding with whatever side appears to have the upper hand at the time. They get their justice for their flip-flopping "loyalty" when they are caught in the dust fallout from the explosion of the robot factory, ruining their outfits. In the season three episode "Queen Bee," the Crust cousins help Vexus (disguised as a teenage robot named "Vicky") to become cool at Tremorton High in order to initiate a plan to destroy Jenny under her radar. However, they ultimately save Jenny when Vicky becomes even more popular than them.
Pteresa, Jantrice, and Stephanie[edit]
Pteresa, Jantrice, (both voiced by Candi Milo), and Stephanie (Cree Summer) are divas at Tremorton High School who hang with each other. Pteresa is Caucasian, while Jantrice is Asian-American and Stephanie is African-American. Despite being background characters, Pteresa was the focus of the season 3 episode The Price of Love, where she was a fake date of Sheldon in order for Sheldon to deliberately make Jenny jealous. It eventually backfires, as she repeatedly extorted Sheldon for money to the point that he had to sell everything he owns to get his money back and Pteresa eventually goes with Jenny's one-off date Sebastian after an argument between him and Jenny. Unlike her and the Crust Cousins, Jantrice and Stephanie are friendly towards Jenny.
Don Prima[edit]
Donald "Don" Prima (voiced by Quinton Flynn) is a student in Tremorton High School that is admired by many girls for his good looks. He is, however, self-centered and doesn't care about the girls he dates at all, shown when he freaks out about a scuff mark on his shoes than to Jenny's feelings. (Though not necessarily, as he was impressed by Jenny's boom-box feature in Return of the Raggedy Android). He dislikes geeks and nerds such as Roddy, and often hangs out with the Crust Cousins. His name is a masculine play on "prima donna".
Marty Rossian[edit]
Marty Rossian (voiced by Bob Joles) is a short man as Nora Wakeman's boyfriend. Appearing in "Mama Drama", Marty has dated Nora and Jenny feared that Nora is put in mind control by him. Revealing that Marty is not evil, he did have an obsession with Nora. He gave them Wizzly World tickets while next morning, he and Tuck rode on a roller coaster together.
Melody Locus[edit]
Melody Locus Red (Voiced by Sandy Fox) is an android girl with an exo-skin which makes her look like a normal teenage girl (similar to when Jenny wore synthoskin). Melody appears as a sweet and polite girl who befrinds Jenny and falls in love with Brad. However, despite the fact that Melody is desperate to fit in and act as a normal girl, she has a bad temper, finally revealing her true hideous robotic form beneath her exo-skin. She possesses many dangerous robotic weapons that rival Jenny's power. Melody was created by the villainous mad scientist, Dr. Locus, who is also her father.
Lucretia[edit]
Lucretia (voiced by Candi Milo) is Tuck's former sock puppet known in "Puppet Bride". First, she was inanimate for Tuck's puppet show and lastly she has bio-processors installed as she came to the rescue to save Li'l Acorn from being vengeful.
XJ Series[edit]
Reactivated by Jenny in "Sibling Tsunami", she is the ninth android of the XJ series, which means that she has eight sisters who are actually experimental prototype drones, other than her quadruplets. XJ-9 is referred to as the oldest, despite being made last. As the idea of XJ-9 was conceived from each of them, she is the oldest sister in that sense. Among its prototypes are:
- XJ-1 (voiced by Janice Kawaye) is a simple robot shaped like an egg. She is the infant of the XJ series, as her design (featuring one teething tooth and what looks like diapers) shows. Unable to speak, she communicates in a series of beeps and whistles, similar to the robot R2-D2 from Star Wars fame and similar to Big Fat Baby from Histeria!. She also shoots ink out of her mouth when she sneezes, following is XJ-4 cleaning up after her mess. She is known for throwing ink up Jenny's face whilst getting her senses back.
- XJ-2 (voiced by Kath Soucie) is a small, two-year-old robotic ray gun. She frequently hiccups lasers. Her design is probably a prototype to Jenny's many lasers.
- XJ-3 is a small, crudely made humanoid robot. As an early prototype, she easily falls apart and lacks some balance. Her design is Dr. Wakeman's first attempt at one, though she resembles a toddler. Unable to speak like XJ-1, unlike the rest of the XJ models she doesn't have a voice actor.
- XJ-4 (voiced by Kath Soucie) is a quadrapus-like robotic beam cannon who is a neat-freak. She has a neatly square head with several tentacle-like arms underneath and a straight, upward ponytail with one rather-large bow. The head is situated on a stalk with a wheel on the end. Instead of weaponry, she has various cleaning gadgets (like a dust pan, a mop, a broom, and, rather obviously, a vacuum cleaner). She seems to be based on the idea/stereotype that many future robots will be domestic helpers. All XJ androids starting from her have the ability to speak understandable English. Her age is presumably designed around possibly early childhood.
- XJ-5 (voiced by Kath Soucie) is a literal chatterbox. She looks old-fashioned with a radio dish on the bottom and rocket-pigtails (like XJ-9's), enabling her to fly. She constantly talks and makes comments, sometimes to the dismay of the people around her. However, she also makes an excellent leader, as shown in several episodes. She was probably designed around possibly mid- to late childhood.
- XJ-6 (voiced by Candi Milo) is one of the more abstract of the XJ series. She has a monitor for a face with one green eye, one arm and three spider-like legs. Her design seems to be based on the distorted view some teenagers have of themselves. She is very jealous (especially of XJ-9) and speaks with somewhat of a Valley-girl accent. She was designed as an early adolescent.
- XJ-7 (voiced by Audrey Wasilewski) is a mopey, bulky robot. She has caterpillar tracks for locomotion. She is a very negative robot and doesn't believe in herself. She is based on teenagers with extremely low self-esteem. She was designed, also as an early adolescent, however now starting to go through the emotional changes of puberty. Her sadness is akin to Eeyore of Winnie The Pooh.
- XJ-8 (voiced by Audrey Wasilewski) is a large robot and the closest to XJ-9 by age. She looks like a bulked-up, tomboyish XJ-9 and talks like the stereotypical robot, monotonous with a bit of static reverb. She has superior strength, higher than XJ-9's. Apparently, Dr. Wakeman had to take out some strength in XJ-9 to add in Jenny's quirk and charm. She is based on the stereotypical robot with some feminine touches (though not a lot). She was designed as an adolescent, partway through the age period. Her stereotypical voice is akin to U.R.V. of Rescue Heroes.
The XJ robots make their first appearance in the first-season episode, "Sibling Tsunami", and go on to appear in "Sister Sledgehammer", "Agent 00’Sheldon" (mostly cameo), and notably "Turncoats." (XJ-8 also appears briefly in "There's No Place Like Home School").
- XJ-10 is unseen in the series, though was mentioned a few times, such as in "Sibling Tsunami" (jokingly by Dr. Wakeman). In the Christmas special "A Robot of All Seasons", a blueprint of XJ-10, which Wakeman quickly covers when Jenny enters the room, is revealed. As shown in the blueprint, XJ-10 would have had a triangular build with more pointed features and crab-like pincers for hands. However, XJ-10 was never completed and the project was abandoned, which makes Jenny the last of the series.
Vice Principal Burton Razinski[edit]
Burton Razinski (voiced by Billy West) is the Seymour Skinner-esque vice principal of Tremorton High School. He is known for favoring Jenny and her friends and for getting Brit and Tiff into detentions, as he had been bullied nonstop by the popular kids when he was a student at Tremorton High.
Todd Sweeney[edit]
Todd Sweeney (voiced by Jason Marsden) is a gloomy and spoiled wealthy boy over not getting what he wanted for Christmas, but he became a loving, caring boy after knowing the true meaning of Christmas. He is also known for controlling Jenny until getting back her senses after escaping from her body.
Skyway Patrol[edit]
The Skyway Patrol acts as a global defense/ law enforcement group in the series. They are often seen harassing XJ-9 for "unauthorized" aviation. In one episode it is revealed that members of this organization often have to deal with literal mountains of paperwork in order to do virtually anything. This usually makes them more of a nuisance than a help. As a matter of fact, a jealous skyway patrol lieutenant (voiced by Nick Jamesson) wanted to convince the leader, General Hardscape, to have Jenny permanently shut down, only to succeed in being demoted to private. He kept trying to have Jenny shut down until, in A Spoonful of Mayhem, he was fired from the force.
Travis[edit]
Travis (voiced by Scott Menville) is a new Tremorton High School student who only appears in "Weapons of Mass Distraction". He takes fear of machines with weapons until he meets - and falls in love with - Jenny. She completely loses interest in him, however, when he selfishly prioritized hanging out with her over saving innocent lives from the Old Weathered One, before harshly dumping him in the process.
Uncle Wizzly[edit]
Uncle D. Wizzly (voiced by Jim Wise) is the maker of Wizzlyworld and the manager of Historionics World. His personality is a parody of Walt Disney.
World Ain't So Big Dolls[edit]
Many dolls from the "World Ain't So Big" ride (voiced by Janice Kawaye) made their appearance in "The Wonderful World of Wizzly". When Jenny, Brand, and Tuck rode on the World Ain't So Big ride, they sing "The World Ain't So Big" song at them which makes Jenny result that the ride is horrible. She make them and other robots leave so they won't interfere the riders and patrons. Upon arriving at Jenny's home, they wished her a good morning and called her "Princess Jenny". Jenny sent all the robots into a rocket ship and threw it into Mars where the Martians are horrified by the "Happy Noon Time Funtime Song".
They reappear in "Historionics", but they are sixteen of them in Uncle Wizzly's home.
Samurai Vac[edit]
The Samurai Vac (voiced by Keone Young) is a Japanese vacuum cleaner with robotic aptitudes only appearing in the episode with the same name "Samurai Vac" (or Honor Among Robots).
