List of CyberChase characters

This is a list of characters that have appeared on the PBS Kids GO! series "Cyberchase".

Major Protagonists

Motherboard

Motherboard (voiced by Kristina Nicoll) is the benevolent ruler of Cyberspace and lives in the cybersite Control Central. Her former assistant was Hacker who put a virus in her, but because her firewall was fully uploaded before the virus hit, she was only left weak. Dr. Marbles, Matt, Jackie, and Inez and, Digit try to recover the Encryptor Chip and keep Motherboard safe from Hacker. In another episode, the Encryptor Chip is destroyed.

Dr. Marbles

Dr. Marbles (voiced by Richard Binsley,) is the brilliant inventor who services Motherboard. He's full of ideas, as the lightbulb on his head suggests. His speech is peppered with computer terms, like "Backspace!" instead of "Hold on, there a minute!" He's seen in episodes: 101, 102, 109, 110, 111, 113, 120, 121, 201, 205, 304, 309, and 310. In 304, he doesn't talk.

Matt

*Matt (voiced by Jacqueline Pillon) is an 11-year-old white American farm boy. He likes skateboards and collecting things (his backpack is usually full of miscellaneous items). He is impulsive, tells jokes, swims, and knows a lot about mythology and "Star Wars". According to "Penguin Tears", Jackie mentions that Matt is impatient. His dog's name is Obi-Wan Kadoggie (a reference to Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars). He also has pet lizards and frogs. He's best at solving a problem when he can hold it in his hands. Playing with a yo-yo also helps him when he's thinking. He often calls Inez by the nickname "Nezzie" which encourages her to call him by his full name "Matthew" in retaliation, which he doesn't seem to like. He can sometimes be a little too complacent.

Inez

*Inez (voiced by Annick Obonsawin) is a 9-year-old Hispanic-American girl and is well-known for her excellent vocabulary, which Matt often teases her for. Her most common catchphrases are "This is not good; this is not good at all!" when something bad happens, and "Don't call me Nezzie!" when Matt calls her that. Inez often acts as a buffer in the Cybersquad since she knows how to compromise and mediate when there is a disagreement. She stands on her head to think better. It is suggested that she has a soft spot for Slider, who has called her "Nezzie" without annoying her in episode 310. When Matt asked why, she replied that Slider is "different", but did not explain why. She's very congruent to Scooby Doo's Velma Dinkley

One of the notable instances of Inez standing on her head is in this quote:

::Digit: Do you really think better that way?::Inez: Which way?

Jackie

*Jackie (voiced by Novie Edwards) is an 11-year-old African-American girl who lives in the suburbs with her grandmother. Her favorite activities include gymnastics, double dutch skipping, drawing and writing plays about herself. Her sense of neatness and organization often helps the kids solve their problems faster. Her biggest pet peeve is slimey/icky stuff like bugs and many other "Gross" things. When ever something gross is even near her she responds by screaming "Ew, Ew, and Double Ew!. Whenever she needs to think, she paces. Like Inez she's very fond of Slider, which makes Matt very jealous. In a running gag, Jackie sometimes overreacts when they are in a crisis. This encourages Matt to taunt her by making an Academy Awards-like "Award goes to" comment. For example:

::Jackie: Cyberspace is doomed, doomed, doomed I tell you, DOOOOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-OOMED!!!::Matt: And the award for best dramatic outburst of the day goes to...Jackie!

Digit

*Digit is a bird-like Cyborg and is voiced by Gilbert Gottfried. His full name is Digit LeBoid. He and the kids protect Cyberspace and Motherboard from Hacker. Digit was created by Hacker and worked for him, along with Buzz and Delete. He escaped after learning of Hacker's evil doings. He became one of Motherboard's helpers and joined the Cybersqaud. Digit can fly but has a fear of heights. He prefers to walk. He's a great cook (he didn't go to cooking school for nothing) and author of 'The Cyber Chef' and carries many objects in his chest, including Widget (also voiced by Gilbert Gottfried). He used to try making virtual nests and didn't have such accurate practice. He's seen in all episodes except episode #107 but was mentioned once in that episode. He also can disguise his voice very well.

Widget

*Widget is a small likeness of Digit, also voiced by Gilbert Gottfried. His hat, tail feathers, and bowtie are not screwed on properly. He's seen in episodes: 124, 206, 308, and 504.

Antagonists

Hacker

*Hacker is a villain in the series, whose deep voice is done by Christopher Lloyd. In almost every episode he is trying to conquer Cyberspace, but is thwarted each time by the Cybersquad. He resembles Elvis Presley, a fact he appears to be aware of, but is green-faced, no hair (he wears a black wig) and has a pointy chin of which he is vain. He also wears a bicolored cape. Occasionally, working too hard to take over Cyberspace can sometimes make his skin very pale or his chin saggy. He always prefers to be called "The Hacker". He was created by Dr. Marbles to assist Motherboard, but he rebelled and was exiled to a Cybersite called the Northern Frontier. Nevertheless, he does have potential to become good again, as shown in one of the episodes where he became a peaceful artist (temporarly). He has two cyborg lackeys, Buzz and Delete. He travels in his large spaceship, the "Grim Wreaker" (parody of The Grim Reaper). He also gets very nervous around ghosts and spiders.

Buzz

*Buzz is one sidekicks of Hacker who is a small round cyborg with a large mouth and scrawny limbs, but he seems to think he's a big tough guy but however can be kind at times. Buzz's friend Delete calls him Buzzy and Buzz's favorite food is donuts. He's a bit smarter than Delete. During seasons one through four and for four episodes in Season 5, Buzz was voiced by Len Carlson. Beginning in Season 5, actor Phil Williams became the voice of Buzz because Len Carlson died from a heart attack as of January 26, 2006. The episode "EcoHaven Ooze" was dedicated to Carlson.

Delete

*Delete is one sidekicks of Hacker who is voiced by Robert Tinkler. Delete is taller, skinnier, and younger than Buzz, and has a snout like a dog. In some episodes, he has proven to be an ally to the Cybersquad, including episode 505. Delete's best friend and cohort is Buzz, who calls him "Dee Dee." Delete also loves animals of all kinds, especially bunnies. In episodes: 112, 302, 304, and 505, he says, "I wish I had a bunny. I would love him, and keep him, and call him George!" a quote from the Abominable Snowman character from the Looney Tunes short, "The Abominable Snow Rabbit" (which, in turn, is based on the character of Lenny from John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men"). In episode 505, when his "fairy borg father" Zanko pays him a visit, Delete finally gets his very own bunny named George and even invents a new toy: a bunny copter. Delete has a bit of a soft spot to the Cybersquad and is very kind natured.

Wicked

*Wicked is a villain that appears in many adventures. Wicked lived in Happily Ever After and often tries to convince Hacker to become her partner. Hacker has several times reluctantly hired or even courted her, but always jilts her. In return, Wicked either casts a spell on him or wrecks his evildoing plans and is voiced by Linda Ballantyne. She's seen in episodes: 108, 109, 122, 201, 203, 211, 309, 310, 311, 407, 409, 501, 503, 510, and 603.

Baskerville

*Baskerville is a hunchback dog-like cyborg with a British accent who has often been called up by Hacker to assist in his evil schemes. Of course, Buzz and Delete don't like him very much, especially when he takes over their daily jobs such as: giving Hacker some tea, ironing his cape, etc. He is also known to work cheap. He's seen in episodes: 112, 407 and 504. He is voiced by Juan Chorian.

Warren

*Warren is a genie who wants to rule Cyberspace and his full name is Warren Plotnick. His mother is a lunch lady from Nowhere who grounded him for ten more years after his last evil rampage. He's tough and intimidating when alone, but when his mother shows up, he's rather wimpy and overly-obedient. He was also Hacker's idol, but despite that, after their first encounter, they're never happy to see each other through out the series. He was seen in episodes 120, 205, 309 and 310. He lives in a bottle in Nowhere but shows up in other cybersites. Digit can sound like his mother.

Then Coop was reunited with Slider in episode #405.

For Real segment characters

Bianca DeGroat

Bianca DeGroat is one of the three people who are the main protagonists in the "For Real" segment of the series. She is a smart, clever woman, who often uses the original plot (the animated main plot) to solve everyday real world problems. She owns a dog named Mojo and hates anchovies. As a character, she is rather absent-minded and arrogant, and does not think before she acts. As a result, she often panics or over-reacts to crises, like Jackie. In one episode, she was seen driving a green VW Beetle.

Harry Wilson

Harry Wilson is another protagonist in the "For Real" segment. He often dresses in a nerdish style and wears horn-rimmed glasses and Converse shoes. In many of the segments he's often rather careless, which usually costs him his current job. Harry's wardrobe, including vintage eyewear, is drawn from Matt Wilson's real life wardrobe.

Kareem Blackwell was seen only once, as the protagonist for the pilot episode "The Poddleville Case," where he met with the New York cast of Stomp. Unlike in most future "For Real" segments, Kareem's one-time skit did not use the episode's theme (patterns) as a problem-solving device. Instead, the segment revolved around Stomp explaining how to use patterns in music to create enjoyable songs.
