What is Get Ed About?

The story of Get Ed takes place in the future, in a city called Progress City. Ed is a super-powered teen who works for a delivery company called Dojo Deliveries. He uses his amazing computer skills to stop bad guys who steal people's information or destroy businesses.

Ed works with his friends: Burn, Deets, Fizz, and Loogie. Loogie always has his puppet, Dr. Pinch, with him! Their wise friend and leader, Ol’ Skool, guides them. Together, they fight against the main villain, Bedlam. Bedlam is a powerful businessman who wants to control all of Progress City. He tries to steal from, spy on, or even destroy his rivals.

The Heroes of Dojo Deliveries

• Ed: Ed is a special teen created from an ancient alien artifact. Ol' Skool found the artifact and used it to make Ed. Ed works as a delivery boy for Dojo Deliveries. He also fights crime and tries to learn about his own mysterious past. He finds cool alien gadgets that help him. Ed can sometimes be a bit silly, but he gets flashes of future events that help his team. He rides a hoverboard that has its own artificial intelligence. His symbol is "The Protector."

• Deets: Deets, whose real name is Sarah, used to be a computer programmer. She was forced to work for Bedlam because he captured her parents. Ol' Skool helped her rescue them, and she joined the Dojo team. She seems to like Ed, and he might like her too! Deets uses a jet glider pack to fly around. Her symbol is "The Dreamer."

• Burn: Burn is the unofficial leader of the Dojo team. He's very proud of being the best courier. When Ed joined, Burn felt his spot was challenged. He's often tough on Ed, but deep down, he cares about him. Burn rides a cool, flaming one-wheeled motorcycle. His symbol is "The Warrior."

• Loogie: Loogie is a funny teen comedian. He always has a catfish puppet named Dr. Pinch on his hand. Dr. Pinch has a strange personality and often makes fun of Loogie! Loogie uses rocket-powered roller skates to get around. His symbol is "The Joker."

• Ol’ Skool: Ol' Skool is the wise leader of the Dojo. He knows a lot about deliveries and many other things. He's the one who created Ed from the alien artifact. Ol' Skool often says he knows more about Ed than Ed knows about himself! He rides a regular skateboard, unlike the others. He used to work with Bedlam before Bedlam betrayed him.
