Monster Buster Club is a children's CGI television series by Marathon Production. The show debuted on June 2, 2008, on Jetix in Europe and on June 9, 2008 on Jetix on Toon Disney in the United States and debuted in Asia on Disney Channel Asia and on May 3, 2008. This show is about 3 10-year-olds charged with saving their town from alien invasions helped by an alien girl named Cathy. With her grandfather, they reform a renegade alien hunter club that was founded centuries ago called the Monster Buster Club, often abbreviated to MBC. This age-old club was disbanded when it was believed that the aliens had been wiped out. Since then, new alien troublemakers have turned up, and the time has come for the prophecy to be fulfilled. Using a network of secret tunnels running through the town, the MBC heroes conduct undercover alien investigations, seeking out the eccentric-looking bad guys with a knack for alien tricks. Despite being created by the same persons as Totally Spies and The Far-Out Adventures of Team Galaxy, this show isn't centered on fashion and the characters seem to have more common sense. As of June 19, 2008 only ten episodes were aired on Jetix Europe. New episodes started on July 14 on Jetix Europe. Monster Buster Club is also the first show (broadcasted by Jetix) debuted in countries of Eastern Europe (such as Romania and Russia) the same day as in the countries of Western Europe (such as United Kingdom and France). As for Disney Channel Asia, new episodes started on July 18, 2008.

Setting

The show takes place in a small calm town named "Single Town", which seem to be situated in a rocky region since several mountains can be seen in the background. Single Town looks like an ordinary suburban town, but in reality, it is a meeting place for aliens from different parts of the galaxy.

Characters

Monster Buster Club

Little is known of MBC's history. It is "age-old" as described by Cathy, and there are some encounters with aliens that have been defeated by MBC previously according to the show, but there are no episodes featuring those encounters. It is not known if MBC's origins are alien or human, or how long it has been in existence.

Cathy, "The Fireball"

File:Monster Buster Club Members.png

Main characters (from left to right): Chris, Cathy, Sam, Danny

A girl who comes from outer space, specifically from planet Rhapsodia. She came to Earth with Mr. Smith, her grandfather, to start the Monster Buster Club. She has stretching powers due to her bones being like rubber and wears a pink Monster Buster Club suit. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. She may be a parody of the Code Lyoko character Aelita. In "The Trouble with Troublemaking" it is revealed that her last name is Smith, which she shares with her grandfather. She now lives with him on Earth, but nothing is known about her parents.

She is very energetic and is known for unconsciously using her powers when she gets overexcited. In "Trouble with Troublemaking" she shows that she has telekinetic abilities, which are also shown in "World's Toughest Kid". She referred to it as "an old Rhapsodian energy trick". In "Popular Kids" she started to glow yellow at the party and levitated a bit off the floor while she was dancing, and in "Acting Out" her levitation seem to be much more sufficient, as she is able to lift herself easily. In "World's Toughest Kid" she shows telepathic abilites, but does not have complete control over this power. This is shown when she tries to telepathically tell Roy to vote for her. Instead, he gets the message 'Vote for Bathy'. She says that she needs more practice. In some cases, she is shown to have super strength, as she was able to lift the Pincher-Bots in "Mindreader" and the granny Octovore in "Popular Kids".

Because of her alien origin, she doesn't know much about Earth and sometimes it makes her look strange. Since she did not grow up on Earth like the rest of MBC, she does what she can to fit in with the other kids in Single Town. She is usually bubbly and optimistic, but gets upset with people who tease and assume things about her alien heritage as seen in "Mindreader" when Sam thinks that her humming is a 'weird alien thing' and in "The Trouble with Troublemaking" when Mr. Fusster calls her a silly alien for believing that there is other intelligent life and when Danny teases her about her reaction. Also in "The Trouble with Troublemaking" she proves to be intelligent in a different way when she solves a Rhapsodian puzzle stick in three seconds. She has a tendency to think big, as seen in "Snack Time" when she thinks up of complicated alien games to play and in "Dog Daze" when she designs complex projects for the science fair. Also, she often address certain things in technical alien terms, as seen in "The Trouble with Troublemaking" and "Dog Daze" because she does not sure what the human term for it is. She speaks in Rhapsodian slang from time to time, as seen in "Battle of the Bands". She also cooks with Rhapsodian ingredients, as seen in "World's Toughest Kid". While Cathy's true form is not shown, in "The Trouble with Troublemaking" she mentioned she has tentacles.

She has apparently kissed her cousin Elton as revealed in "Mindreader". She states it was on the cheek for a dare when they were little, retorting that Elton wasn't so weird looking in his alien form. She is shown to be allergic to pets in "Dog Daze". She says that she shares this with her aunt Zirum and that it started 250 years ago on Rhapsodia-7. She is alright with one or two pets though. She enjoys helping Mr. Smith with his garden, as seen in "Flower King". In "Battle of the Bands" it is shown that she plays the bass guitar rather well and is able to carry a tune. She runs for student council president in "World's Toughest Kid" but drops out because she does not have time for school politics between busting monsters and helping Mr. Smith. In "Acting Out" she turns out to be an amazing actress. It is hinted that she may be a feminist in "Comic Book Heroes" because she is angry that there are so few comic books about women and she imitates a female superhero in gym class. In "Mindreader" she says that she is over 700 years old but if she was counting Rhapsodian or Earth years is unclear.

She has a secret admirer in Jeremy as seen in "Flower King", but she has no clue that he has a crush her or that he was asking her out on a date. She often wonders why his face is red whenever he blushes, thinking that he might be sick. It is hinted that Cathy may like Danny because in "Mindreader" she made Elton put on headphones while he was chanting na na like Danny, indicating that he may have been reading her mind at the time. She also said that she knew he was the best when she realizes that he had the main piece of a superweapon in "Battle of the Bands".

• Note - In Earth years, she is the same age as Chris, Sam and Danny.

Danny, "Mr. Popular"

File:Monster Buster Club Suits.png

Main characters with their suits on

A boy who is apparently very popular among the students in school. He wears a red Monster Buster Club suit. He has brown hair and green eyes. He also has a scar over his left eyebrow, making it appear that the eyebrow is split, though it is not revealed how he got it.

He has a rivalry with nemesis Mark. Danny can often be seen constantly trying to bring him down as seen in "Mindreader" and "Snack Time". He sleeps with a toy teddy bear he had since he was a baby that he calls Mr. Fluffyboots, revealed when Cathy's cousin Elton read his mind in "Mindreader". He is athletic, which is also revealed in "Mindreader" and in "World's Toughest Kid" it is shown that he is skilled at skateboarding. He has great aim, as seen in "Mindreader", but he is uncoordinated at times, as seen in "Dog Daze" when he attempts a MBC manoeuver. In "Popular Kids" he says that he is always invited to parties thrown by popular people. He is overconfident at times and he usually ends up making a fool out of himself, as seen in "Popular Kids" and "Dog Daze". He is very protective of his popularity status and takes great care when it comes to maintaining it, as seen in "Mindreader" when he tries to put an end to the rumours about him and Mr. Fluffyboots and "Trick Or Treat... Or Alien" when Mark challenges him to a trick-or-treat contest. He hates being called a chicken as seen in "World's Toughest Kid" and according to Brian, Danny is a proud person. He is always one to accept challenges and will not back down under any circumstances.

In the episode "The Trouble with Troublemaking" he was able to solve a Rhapsodian puzzle stick, but it took him two days. He is the usually one who physically defeats the aliens, as noted by Chris in "Mindreader". His plans are usually not that great according to Chris and Sam, but Chris acknowledges that his plan in "Mindreader" is a nice one for a change. Despite his limited intelligence and laid back attitude, he is shown to be creative and resourceful, using Mr. Fluffyboots to disarm the head Pincher-Bot in "Mindreader" and using a Rhapsodian puzzle stick to catch the Sticky alien in "The Trouble with Troublemaking", which Cathy notes by saying that no one had ever thought to use a puzzle stick for catching aliens. It is also noted that he is a bit of a troublemaker, revealed in "The Trouble with Troublemaking" when he says he had detention before and when he tries to give Chris troublemaking lessons. He also teases Chris about his obsession with video games, as seen in "Flower King". Also in "Flower King", he is often a plaything for the Casanova vine in Mr. Smith's garden, because according to Cathy, the vine really likes him. He seems to have a large appetite, which is hinted in "Snack Time" when Chris compares Tina's eating rampage to Danny at an all-you-can-eat buffet. He sings off-key and appears to be tone deaf, as seen in "Battle of the Bands". He often teases Cathy about her alien origin, as seen in "The Trouble with Troublemaking" when he laughs about her reaction to Mr. Fusster calling her a silly alien.

He has a one-sided crush on Wendy, who doesn't seem to be the least bit interested in him. It is hinted that he may like Cathy as well.

Chris, "The Gizmo Dude"

A boy who seems to be an average kid, with a dream to be a hero. He wears a blue Monster Buster Club suit. He has navy blue hair and light blue eyes. He also has freckles on his cheeks. In "Aliens on the Fast Track" it revealed that his full first name is Christopher.

He seems to be kind of a genius, especially when it comes to either human or alien technology, and is one of two most sensible members of Monster Buster Club. Despite his intelligence, he is socially clueless at times, as seen when Danny tries to give him troublemaking lessons in "The Trouble with Troublemaking". He has a little brother named John. He is often frustrated with John for showing off, but he acknowledges that his little brother is helpful in "Popular Kids" when John helps catch both Octovores and in "Snack Time" when John's 'Dumdy Dum' delectable dispenser is used to reverse the Glusock effect on Tina. He originally did not want John to join MBC in "Monster Beaters", but afterwards, he decided that John would unoffically be the youngest member of MBC. He is the one who usually comes up with a plan during battle, as noted by Cathy's cousin Elton in "Mindreader".

He loves computers and books, as seen in the MBC opening theme and he has an avid interest in alien technology, as seen in "Wrong Number". He has extensive forensic knowledge, as seen in "Mindreader" and "Popular Kids". He is usually the person who identifies the aliens and the trace they leave behind. His theories and ideas are not always taken seriously by the other MBC members, especially Danny, as revealed by Cathy's cousin Elton in "Mindreader". He is not as physical as the other MBC members during battle, so he always fights with MBC issue weapons or whatever else he can get his hands on. Because of this, he sometimes falls victim to alien attacks as seen in "World's Toughest Kid" when he gets swallowed by an alien. Also in "Mindreader", at times he is frustrated that Danny is usually the one who physically defeats the aliens, but he is able to break out of the computer geek stereotype and prove that he is just as capable when he nails the head Pincher-Bot, which Danny acknowledges as a nice shot for a change. He has an obsession with video games as seen in "Flower King", which gets him made fun of by Danny and Sam. He also enjoys building computers. He is a member of the school's computer club and is friends with Jeremy, who is also a member. He is able to build and replicate alien technology as seen in "Battle of the Bands" when he builds a large model of Mr. Smith's earplugs.

In "Snack Time" he is shown to be artistic when he makes the posters for the bake sale. It is revealed that he has never had detention in "The Trouble with Troublemaking". In "Dog Daze" it is revealed that he has won first place at the science fair three years in a row. In the episode "Acting Out" he became famous by acting in an interplanetary commercial. Also in the same episode, it's revealed that the other MBC members don't know how all the devices at the club work, making him the gadget expert. He often teases Danny about his limited intelligence and his crush on Wendy, as seen in "Dog Daze". In "Battle of the Bands" it is shown that he plays lead guitar.

It is hinted that Chris may like Sam because in "Flower King" because he is happy that he got her to understand his interest in video games and later invites her to build computers with him.

Samantha, "Sam", "The Brains"

A girl who seems to be rather normal. She is African-American and wears a yellow Monster Buster Club suit. She has dark brown hair and gold eyes.

She is considered the unofficial leader of MBC. Also, she is the other most sensible member of Monster Buster Club besides Chris. She is shown to be agile, strong and tactical. Also, Sam is the first to notice Cathy's alien abilities and tries to stop Cathy from using them when she gets overexcited. She is a strategist and a perfectionist, as seen in "Snack Time" when she plans every detail on how to divide her time between babysitting and the bake sale and in "The Trouble with Troublemaking" when she worries about detention and her permanent school record. She is usually the the person who assigns tasks for the MBC members, as seen in "Popular Kids", "Wrong Number" and "Snack Time". She is able to think quickly on her feet, as shown in "Snack Time" when she uses John's 'Dumdy Dum' delectable dispenser to reverse the Glusock effect on Tina. She is a stickler when it comes to MBC rules, she often recites them to the other MBC members as seen in "Wrong Number" and "World's Toughest Kid". She is also all about teamwork, as seen in "World's Toughest Kid" and does not care about other people's challenges.

Although she is seen as fearless by the other MBC members, she is apparently afraid of spiders, revealed when Cathy's cousin Elton read her mind in "Mindreader". In "Snack Time" she is shown to be a good cook when Chris says her food is amazing. In "The Trouble with Troublemaking", it is revealed that she has never had detention, which changes after she receives detention for thirty days for tackling the lunch lady. She may be trained in martial arts, based on the fight sequence in "Dog Daze". She often teases Danny about his limited intelligence and his crush on Wendy, as seen in "Dog Daze" and teases Cathy about her secret admirer in "Flower King". She teases Chris about his video game obsession in "Flower King", but later becomes nearly as obsessed about them, often ignoring the mission to play them with Chris. She draws the line at building computers with him, stating that it is too geeky for her. It is hinted that she may be a feminist because in "Flower King", she first becomes interested in video games when she sees that the pilot in the game is a girl and in "Comic Book Heroes", she is angry that there are so few comic books about women. In "Battle of the Bands" it is shown that she plays the drums. She is not very good when it comes to knitting, as shown in "Monster Beaters" when all sudents are forced to join a club. She is ambidextrous. She usually uses her left hand, but often switches back and forth with her right hand.

It is hinted that Sam may like Chris.

Enemies

Pincher-Bots

Robots who have long detached pinchers for arms, which are possibly the origin of their name.

Their mission was to kidnap Cathy's cousin Elton in order to take advantage of his mind reading abilities for their own purposes. According to Cathy, they have been trying to kidnap him for years. They first appeared at their school, but MBC were able to drive them off. The Pincher-Bots returned and held Elton hostage at an abandoned factory. They blew up shortly afterwards.

According to MBC archives, Pincher-Bots are very dangerous and they never travel alone. They need massive amounts of electricity in order to remain operating so they often cause power shortages. According to Cathy, they love spending time with old machines in old abandoned factories. It is like hanging out with their kooky relatives. They use 90-weight machine oil to keep their engines up and running, but it leaks, often leaving a trail behind. They can become invisible and are immune to Elton's mindreading power. They are controlled by a head Pincher-Bot.

Chris defeated them after taking out the head Pincher-Bot and activating the self-destruct mechanism with help from Danny, who disarms it.

Octovores (Jenny and her grandmother)

Octopi-like aliens with one eye and multiple tentacles, the grandmother is large and blue while Jenny is yellow and small.

MBC first came across the grandmother, who was disguised as a sweet old lady. She attacked them, but John was able to can her. Shortly afterwards, a popular cheerleader student, Jenny appeared at their school, inviting everyone but MBC to her party. MBC soon find out that Jenny is an Octovore who is holding their classmates hostage in exchange for her grandmother. The Octovores tried to double-cross them, but they were ultimately defeated.

These aliens are from the Dark Matter Galaxy and they speak the language Crud. They are classified as Dark Galaxy morphers. They are able to morph into different shapes and forms. They have nasty tempters. According to Mr. Smith, there are two rules when it comes to dealing with Octovores-- never turn your back on them and never trust them. They had escaped in "Shadow of the Octovores" and they wage war on MBC.

They were captured by John in "Popular Kids" and in "Shadow of the Octovores" they were captured by Danny.

Tortoisans and Harefliers

These two alien races have been at war with each other for centuries. Their spaceships are in the form of tortoises and hares, possibly where their names originated from, which are allusions to the Aesop fable "The Tortoise and Hare".

Mr, Smith was supposed to be their negotiator, but due to a mix-up of communication devices, Mark answered the call, causing the Tortisans and Harefliers to carry out battle on Earth. Fortunately, the miscommunication was cleared up they eventually made peace and left Earth.

Cathy used Mr. Smith's communication device to talk to the alien races and helped them find out that they had a lot in common with each other.

Pythenor Eaters (Tina)

A blonde happy-go-lucky alien baby who is babysat by Sam and Cathy. She has an abnormally huge appetite.

Sam accidently feeds her a Glusock cracker and Tina ends up going on an eating rampage throughout the city. She eventually ends up at their school and promptly eats all of Mark's food. After she is trapped by a Floater Disk, she creates a telekinetic tornado. Luckily, MBC was able to get the taste of Glusock out of Tina's mouth and stop her from eating anything else.

Pythenor Eaters can eat anything from metal to stone to plastic, but there's one food that a Pythenor cannot eat-- Glusock crackers that come in the bright orange box. If they eat a cracker, they get angry and start eating everything in sight. This is known as the Glusock effect. They also display telekinetic abilities when they are not able to reach food.

Sam uses John's 'Dumdy Dum' delectable dispenser to feed Tina a tasteless cookie in order to reverse the Glusock effect.

Sticky Aliens (Mr. Gluten)

A blue praying mantis-like alien who captures Rhapsodian aliens and sells them on the alien black market at a high price to be used under-paid workers.

Cathy first encounters the Sticky in detention when he tries to capture her. Sam and Cathy discover that he is impersonating the real detention teacher, Mr. Gluten, who is away on vacation. The Sticky attacks Cathy and Sam when they arrive at detention, but Danny and Chris come at him with a stink bomb, forcing the Sticky to go outside where MBC chase down and catch him.

Stickies are able to walk on walls and ceilings and they walk in a spider-like way. They also spit out a sticky blue subtance, which is probably where they get their name from. They are also able to shapeshift into different human forms, as seen when the Sticky disguises himself as the lunch lady.

Danny uses a Rhapsodian puzzle stick to knock out the Sticky, placing it between two trees so that the Sticky would run into it.

Swamp Raiders (Akon Drolldraken the Fifth)

A frog-like alien who was first busted by MBC one hundred years ago according to Cathy.

He created an army of robot dogs, that are almost exact replicas of Matisse, Wendy's dog. Cutting off the electric power in Single Town, he planned on replacing the people with aliens. He communicates in guttural grunts and yells. It is apparent that he still holds a grudge against MBC.

MBC work together to bring Akon down, but Sam is the one who delivers the final blow and Chris is the one who cans him. Chris and Cathy team up to defeat the robot dog army by combining their science projects in order to over-ride the circuitry.

Clipper Bots

Chrome-plated robots with laserized clippers for arms, which are probably the origin of their name.

These robots were built specifically for clipping Petalia XIII and the other plants in Single Town. They succeeded in clipping the plants in Mr. Smith's garden, but left after MBC defeated the army that the Clipper Bots sent to their school.

They hate plants, especially after Petalia XIII banished them to the Dark Zone. They have a call button on their chest plate which they use to call other Clipper Bots. They are also able to repair each other when they get damaged in any way.

Cathy delivers the final shot and disables the Clipper Bots while Sam is the one who cans every last one.

The Flying Dutchmen

Robotic aliens who disguise themselves as a band of heavy metal rockers.

They brainwashed the kids who attended their first concert into shoplifting. By playing their hit song "Drain Your Brain", they can make the kids build individual parts of The Flying Dutchmen's superweapon, which is shaped like an electric guitar. They plan on using the superweapon to amplify their song so that they can brainwash the rest of the world into doing thier bidding. Chris designs giant alien-tech earplugs which Sam sets up on either side of the room. MBC uses the earplugs to neutralize the effects of the song and to disable the superweapon.

The Flying Dutchmen are able to diappear without a trace, but other than that, they rely on alien techology to carry out their plans. They have instruments that can shoot lasers.

Danny takes out the lead singer, Sam takes out the guitarist and Cathy takes out the keyboard player. Cathy also activates the giant earplugs, while Chris is the one who cans The Flying Dutchmen.

Armour Stickies (Brian)

A giant king crab-like alien who turns out to be multiple aliens. He is a mini bodybuilder in his human form. He is a bully whose alias at school is Brian Brawn, which is a nod to his title as "The World's Toughest Kid".

He escaped from the interplanetary transporter, attacking Chris when Danny is late. He later posed as the new kid at school. He did not get along with Danny because he became friends with Mark and Wendy and ends up challenging Danny to a series of battles. Both of them tie in the race to gym class. He then ran for student council president against Cathy. Originally, he planned to challenge both Cathy and Danny so that MBC would not be able to send him to intergalactic prison, but only Danny went up for the challenge. Brian wins at one legged racing around the gym and at bench lifting. During the race, MBC find out what he really is. He traps Chris, Sam and Cathy on the school rooftop and engages Danny in a skateboarding race against all his clones. The clones are defeated and MBC is liberated. Afterwards, Brian is sent to intergalactic prison.

Armour Stickies are extremely competitive and can never resist a challenge. Brian is as athletic as Danny and is able to clone himself up to four times. He also possesses superstrength and superspeed. He often uses his clones to win races. In alien form, he and his clones are covered in white and coloured armour which differs on each clone. The armour colours are blue, red, violet, and green. They have shields attached to their left claws, hinting that Brian and the clones are right-handed.

Danny turns each of the clones into space chickens using the morphoriser while Brian accidently turns himself into a space chicken after he grabs it from Danny and points it the wrong way.

Stalkers

A mutant extraterrestrial lifeform that is half alien-half robotic. They only appear at midnight and they love nothing more than causing trouble.

They are dangerous foes because they control all the kids in Single Town including MBC, turning them into slaves. After they control all the kids in singletown kids, their eyes turn red which mean They became much stronger and can upgrade their mechanical weapon to greater like Flamethrower, homing missile, Laser Minigun, Gravity cannon and Buster cannon. They are also dangerous to Rhapsodians because they try to capture many living beings from different planets to bring them back to their planet to become slaves and be experimented on.

According to Mr. Smith, Stalkers can never be dead because their spirits are undead and can come back to life even when you destroy them. They have special abilities to counter their enemies. They can blink to surprise their enemies, can control minds even when their enemies are sleeping, can cloak themselves in order to hide from them, can create a reflection shield to bounce back against their own enemy's firepower and can free themselves from captivity even after they have been captured with MBC arsenal. In order to take down a Stalker, you must use a electronic gun to shut them down and quickly send them to the inter-galactic prison before they have a chance to repair and free themselves from the canners as in seen in "World's Toughest Kid".

Cathy is the only MBC member who is immune to Stalker abilities since she is an alien herself, so she is able to sense when a Stalker is nearby.

Others

John

Chris' little brother who always wants to help the Monster Buster Club. He has dark red hair and light blue eyes.

Like Chris, he is also something of a genius, but because of his age and size, he is not taken seriously by Danny and Chris. Due to their ridicule, he takes the glory whenever he can. He often calls himself 'Super John' as seen in "Popular Kids". He often creates malfunctioning inventions that serve another purpose in helping the MBC as seen in "Popular Kids" and "Snack Time". John also helps the MBC in "Dog Daze" and "Acting Out" by accessing the MBC computer and its archives for information whenever Chris is on a mission with the other MBC members. He has captured his fair share of aliens as seen in "Popular Kids" and "Monster Beaters".

He tries to convince the other MBC members to let him join the club in "Monster Beaters", but is refused because he is too young. He later joins the Monster Beaters and eventually becomes their leader. After MBC find out that the Monster Beaters are aliens and defeat them with his help, John unofficially becomes the youngest member of MBC. In "Comic book heroes" John help MBC to find a special glasses to avoid be hypnotized.

Mr. Smith

Cathy's grandfather. He started the Monster Buster Club. He has white hair with a bald spot on top of his head, a bushy white moustache and blue eyes.

He used to be a diplomat and is from Cathy's home planet of Rhapsodia. He bears an uncanny resemblance to Dr. Wily from Megaman. In "Mindreader" it is revealed that he has a grandson, Cathy's cousin Elton and in "Dog Daze" a daughter, Cathy's aunt Zirum. He is Cathy's paternal grandfather since they share the same last name, but his son, Cathy's father is never mentioned.

He has a passion for intergalatic linguistics, as seen in "Popular Kids" when he helps Chris and John translate scematics from Crud to English. In "The Wrong Number" it is revealed that he speaks over two thousand alien languages. Despite that, he is very absent-minded and is easily distracted as seen in "Wrong Number" and "Snack Time". He is an avid gardener as seen in "Flower King", raising alien plants in the garden outside the MBC clubhouse, such as the Casanova vine. In "Battle of the Bands" Cathy reveals that he is 3742 years old, but it is unclear if she was counting in Rhapodian or Earth years. He does not like loud noises so he often wears specialized alien-tech earplugs. Despite that, he plays the Floozenhorn, but not very well, indicating that he may be tone deaf. Also in "Battle of the Bands" it is hinted that he still visits his home planet when he tells Cathy that his earplugs broke on his last trip to Rhapsodia. He is always ordering gadgets from Rhapsodia like earplugs in "Battle of the Bands" and a morphoriser in "World's Toughest Kid". He does not always know how to use the gadgets as seen when he accidently turns himself into a space chicken in "World's Toughest Kid".

His alien form is finally shown in "Trick or Treat... or Alien" when he went trick or treating with Mark and his friends.

Mark

A shallow egotistic blonde-haired rich boy from school. He has a mole below his left eye. In many ways, he is Wendy's male counterpart. He and Danny have been enemies for a long time. He is constantly scheming and patronizing, which infuriates the MBC to no end. He is rarely nice, and if he is, he usually wants something in return.

Wendy

A shallow, egotistic blonde-haired girl from school. In many ways, she is Mark's female counterpart. She is also Danny's crush, but doesn't seem to be the least bit interested in him. She uses him to do things for her, like in "Dog Daze" where she asks him to babysit her dog Matisse.

Roy and Ralph

Mark's black-haired and orange-haired lackeys. They often help him with his schemes as seen in "Snack Time".

Jeremy

A orange-haired boy from school. He wears glasses and is a stereotypical computer nerd. He is friends with Chris and is in the computer club with him. He has a crush on Cathy. He also appeared in "Mindreader" playing a video game and in "Flower King" where he tries to impress Cathy.

His name may be based on the Code Lyoko character Jeremie, who had a crush on Aielita, a human girl trapped in a supercomputer.

Elton

Cathy's cousin and Mr. Smith's grandson. His only known power is mindreading. This power is very annoying to the MBC as Elton continually reads their minds, finishes their sentences and reveals their secrets. It is hinted that in Rhapsodian years, he is older than Cathy because in "Mindreader" since he claims to have been 700 years old to Cathy's 671 years at the time of the kiss.

• Note - In Earth years, he is the same age as Cathy, Danny, Chris and Sam.

Mr. Fusster

Mr. Fusster is a teacher of the class which the MBC is in. He is balding, has a thin moustache, wears glasses and speaks in a monotone voice. He believes that humans are the only intelligent life form in the universe, which is also his favourite subject.

Mrs. Rowlins

Mrs. Rowlins is principal of the school the MBC is in. She has red hair, wears glasses and speaks in a loud and fast rant. She is a severely strict disciplinarian, thinking that she is a general and her students are soldiers. In "The Bugaboos" MBC amplify her laugh in order to drive the Bugaboo queen back to her planet.

Arsenal

The standard weapon is a repeating blaster, which can also morph into a tractor beam for capturing enemies and keeping them in special containers, laser cannon for extra firepower and sonic cannon for disabling robots and a bubble gun that disables robots and captures targets as well. They also have stink bombs, canners, and communicators. It is revealed they use tunnels, cars and a kind of hovercraft inside the tunnels to get around.

Cathy's cousin Elton comes to visit. The rest of the MBC discover he is a mindreader, using his powers to show them up and generally irritate them. A band of evil robots attack, trying to capture Elton and the MBC must rescue him.
