The Hyperforce
The Hyperforce is the team of heroes who fight to keep everyone safe.
Chiro
Chiro (チロ, Chiro) (voiced by Greg Cipes) is a young teenage boy with black hair and blue eyes. At first, he wasn't sure about being the leader of the Hyperforce. But he soon accepted his role as a protector of Shuggazoom and the universe. Chiro pilots the Torso Tank Driver 1, which forms the body and legs of the giant Super Robot. His girlfriend is Jinmay, and they stay together throughout the series. Chiro gets his special powers from a mysterious energy called the Power Primate. In the end, Chiro leads the Monkey Team and their friends against the Skeleton King's huge army.
Antauri
Antauri (アンタウリ, Antauri) (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is the black monkey, who later turns silver in seasons three and four. He is the team's second-in-command. Antauri is very calm and collected, and he cares a lot about his friends. He often acts like a leader and takes training very seriously. He doesn't really like video games and is a vegetarian. Antauri teaches Chiro how to control the Power Primate. He also gives wise advice to the rest of the team. His closest friends are Gibson and Sparx. Antauri spends most of his time meditating or patrolling Shuggazoom City. He pilots the Brain Scrambler Pilot 2, which becomes the head of the Super Robot. His main weapons are his Ghost Claws.
Sparx
Sparx (スパークス, Supākusu) (Full name: SPRX-77) (voiced by Corey Feldman) is the red monkey and the team's funny guy. He can be a bit boastful but is very brave and smart. He always protects his teammates, especially Nova, who he seems to have feelings for. In one episode, it's shown that Sparx used to be a human cannonball in a circus. He pilots the Fist Rocket 3, which forms the right hand of the Super Robot. His main weapons are his Magnet Hands. In the last two episodes, Sparx briefly turned evil, helping Mandarin and Valina. He almost hurt Nova, but her kind words brought him back to his senses.
Gibson
Gibson (ギブソン, Gibuson) (Full name: Mr. Hal Gibson) (voiced by Tom Kenny) is the blue monkey. He is the team's science expert and doctor. Gibson always relies on facts and logic, and he can get easily worried. However, he never lets this stop him from doing his duties for the team and Shuggazoom. He pilots the Fist Rocket 4, which becomes the left hand of the Super Robot. His main weapons are his Driller Hands.
Otto
Otto (オットー, Ottō) (voiced by Clancy Brown) is the green monkey and the team's mechanic. Otto is a fun-loving monkey who doesn't always understand formal rules. Even though he acts a bit childlike, Otto is a brilliant inventor. He can build and design complex machines and weapons very easily. His main weapons are his Energy Saw Hands. He pilots the Foot Crusher Cruiser 5, which forms the left foot of the Super Robot.
Nova
Nova (ノヴァ, Nova) (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) is the yellow monkey. She is the only female member of the team until Jinmay joins later. Nova is the most determined and brave member of the team. She has a quick temper, which she often takes out on Sparx. Her anger can even cause explosions of heat when she's very stressed. She really dislikes the cold because of a difficult training exercise Mandarin made her do a long time ago. Her main weapons are her Robotic Fists. She pilots the Foot Crusher Cruiser 6, which forms the right foot of the Super Robot.
Jinmay
Jinmay (ジンメイ, Jinmei) (voiced by Ashley Johnson) is a robot girl who Chiro falls in love with. She later becomes an official member of the Hyperforce. Jinmay protects Shuggazoom when the Hyperforce leaves to fight a big evil worm. She has pink hair and green eyes. Jinmay is the second female member of the Hyperforce, after Nova.
Villains
These are the bad guys who try to cause trouble for the Hyperforce and Shuggazoom.
Skeleton King
Skeleton King (Real name: The Alchemist) (voiced by Mark Hamill) is an evil undead warlord and sorcerer. He lives in the Citadel of Bone, a huge living spaceship made of bone, filled with scary monsters. He wants to rule Shuggazoom and uses his Formless Minions and other monsters to fight the Monkey Team. He is very interested in Chiro's special connection to the Power Primate. The Skeleton King later combined with a powerful evil being called the Dark One, but the Hyperforce defeated him. He was later brought back to life in a more powerful and frightening form. He then rebuilt his empire and army, planning a final attack on Shuggazoom.
Mandarin
Mandarin (voiced by James Hong) was the orange monkey and the Hyperforce's first leader. He is different from the other monkeys because he isn't part robot anymore. He has special orange gauntlets that create an energy sword and shield. Mandarin wanted to rule Shuggazoom, not just protect it. His teammates didn't like this idea, so they sent him to a space prison. He was in a deep sleep there until Chiro accidentally woke him up. Mandarin once tried to make clones of Chiro but failed. His biggest fear is the Skull Sorceress.
Skull Sorceress
Skull Sorceress (also known as Valeena Sheenko) (voiced by Hynden Walch) was part of a secret group that worshipped the Skeleton King. She was chosen by her parents to receive Skeleton King's power. She is a powerful sorceress who can summon the Dark One, create bubbles, teleport, and shoot energy blasts. She tried to kidnap Jinmay and destroy the Monkey Team, but Chiro defeated her. She returned later and was trapped in a medallion. She and Mandarin eventually brought the Skeleton King back to life. However, instead of rewarding her, the Skeleton King defeated her.
Formless Minions
Formless Minions, also called "Bone Drones," are black, skeleton-like creatures. They are made from a black ooze and serve as the main soldiers of the Skeleton King's army. They often ride motorcycles and can change their hands into different weapons. They can also combine to form giant monsters to fight the Super Robot.
There are many types of Formless, including:
- Regular Formless Soldiers
- Hyperformless: These are Formless in the five colors of the Robot Monkeys, made to fight the Hyperforce's powers.
- Red Crystal-bearing Formless Soldier: These can shoot fireballs and heal themselves.
- Formless Chiro Clones and Mutants: These are copies or mixed versions of Chiro.
- Chira and Chiru: Two strong female versions of Chiro.
- Formless Slugs, Winged Formless, Giant Formless, Formless Spider, Formless Sea Serpent, Formless Tyrannosaurus.
- Primitive Formless: These are like Neanderthals and live in the Savage Lands, guarding Valeena.
- Formless Magma: Volcanic magma or lava used by the Skeleton King.
TV Monster / Skeleton King Droid
TV Monster / Skeleton King Droid (voiced by Mark Hamill) is a large, powerful robot that served the Skeleton King. In Season 1, it carried Skeleton King's presence because he couldn't leave his Citadel. It had a big screen on its chest where Skeleton King appeared. It was defeated but later returned and merged with another robot mind, becoming the Skeleton King Droid. This new form was very strong, could shoot lasers, turn into a ball, and fly fast. The Super Robot eventually destroyed it. Mandarin later found it and used it as a ship.
Gyrus Krinkle
Gyrus Krinkle (voiced by Jeffrey Combs) is a sad, lonely man who was a huge fan of the Hyperforce. His fandom turned into an unhealthy obsession. He was a cleaning crew member but got fired for being too creepy. Krinkle is a genius inventor but is also mentally unstable. He once tricked the Monkey Team into fighting Chiro. He was sent to a prison, but later took over the facility. He captured Chiro in his mind using a special device. The Monkey Team went into his mind and broke his control. It's not known if Krinkle is still alive or trapped inside his machine.
Professor Maezono
Professor Maezono (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is now just a brain. He was one of the creators of the Super Robot. He secretly built many other Super Robot models for his own evil plans. He tried to put his brain into a robot called Prometheus Five (Slingshot). His friend, Dr. Takeuchi, tried to stop him, causing an explosion that destroyed his lab and killed Dr. Takeuchi. Since then, Maezono has been fighting Slingshot, who wants revenge. Maezono tricked the Monkey Team into trying to destroy Slingshot, but he escaped and is still being chased by Slingshot across the galaxy.
Sakko
Sakko (voiced by Tom Kenny) is a tiny, cute-looking monkey. But he is actually a spy for the Skeleton King. He was the first agent of Skeleton King shown in the series. He later partnered with Mandarin. After they left Skeleton King, he was last seen in the prison on Ranger 7.
Flytor
Flytor (voiced by Tom Kenny) is a monster made from a mutated fly, crab, and plant. He has a sonic scream and can fly very fast. He was created to scan Chiro's genetic information to find out what made him special. Flytor was seen again in a later episode.
Biff Beefy Box / Cloggy Colon Creature
Biff Beefy Box / Cloggy Colon Creature (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) seemed like a friendly alien who managed a fast-food chain called Wonder Fun Meat World. But his true form is a giant Anthropomorphic Colon monster. He wants to make people fat with his meat products so he can eat them, as humans are "ultimate fast food" on his home planet. He was defeated by the people of Shuggazoom and launched into the sun. He was later seen in the prison on Ranger 7.
Scrapperton
Scrapperton (voiced by Eric Idle and later by Jeff Bennett), also known as Duke Scrapperton, is a robo-man who replaced all parts of his body with mechanical ones. He seems kind but works for the Skeleton King. He collects mostly useless junk. He once captured Sparx and stole the monkeys' hands. He later made robot apes that worshipped the monkeys to trick them. He was last seen in an episode with other defeated villains.
Morlath
Morlath (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson), also known as The Mythic Lord of The Northern Ice, is a giant frost demon. He was trapped in a cavern until Skeleton King offered to free him if he froze Shuggazoom City. Skeleton King's real plan was to capture Morlath and use his ice magic. Later, Morlath returned and guarded the Ice Crystal of Vengeance, which was needed to bring Skeleton King back. The Super Robot destroyed his cavern, defeating him.
The Curator
The Curator (voiced by Danny Mann) is the strange owner of the Shuggazoom History Museum, which had been closed for years. He believed history was more interesting when "evil triumphs over good." He tried to make sure he went down in history by turning the museum into a trap for the Hyperforce. He used copies of his evil ancestors and torture devices. His plan failed, and he ended up trapped in a pocket dimension of modern Shuggazoom City.
The Dark Ones
The Dark Ones are a species of evil beings with the power to destroy everything. They were created when the universe was young. Many of them were trapped in a place called the Netherworld. Their evil is so strong that any living thing becomes very weak near them.
Allies
These are the friends and helpers who sometimes join the Hyperforce in their battles.
The Sun Riders
The Sun Riders (Super Quasar voiced by Keone Young, Aurora Six voiced by Meredith Salenger, Johnny Sunspot voiced by Tom Kenny) are a superhero team with three members. Super Quasar is the leader who shoots solar energy beams from his helmet. Aurora Six is the female member who uses a Sun Gun to stun enemies. Johnny Sunspot is the kid genius who builds their weapons and creates dark energy orbs. When they join hands, they perform a powerful team attack called Super Solar Strike. They ride Sun Cycles and have their own robot called the Nebutron. Chiro is a big fan of their TV show. They once joined the Skeleton King but later returned as reformed allies. They were last seen helping the Hyperforce fight Skeleton King's army.
Slingshot
Slingshot (voiced by Scott Menville), also known as Prometheus Five, is a powerful robot. He is the fifth and most recent in a series of robots, with the Super Robot being the first. Slingshot can create energy balls from his hands and use them to propel himself at high speeds, even breaking through tough metals. One of his creators, Professor Maezono, tried to put his brain into Slingshot's body. An explosion happened, killing Dr. Takeuchi, another creator, and turning Maezono into just a brain. Slingshot blames Maezono for Dr. Takeuchi's death and has been fighting him ever since. Unlike the Super Robot, Slingshot can speak like a human.
Planetoid Q
Planetoid Q (voiced by Clancy Brown) is a living planetesimal (a small planet-like object) with a face like a jack o' lantern. The Skeleton King ordered him to crash into Shuggazoom. However, Chiro convinced Planetoid Q to make his own choices and not listen to the Skeleton King. Planetoid Q later appeared in a dream world episode.
The Circus of Ooze Crew
The Circus of Ooze Crew (The Ringmaster voiced by Robert Englund, Leeah the Jungle Girl voiced by Kari Wahlgren) is a traveling circus. Their train was hit by the Skeleton King's ooze, which turned all the members evil. They tried to turn all the citizens of Shuggazoom City into clown slaves, including Chiro, who was scared of clowns. Otto helped defeat them by cutting down the Ringmaster, who had turned into a giant carousel. Otto then became the star of their next show.
Thingy
Thingy (voiced by Frank Welker) is a tiny, furry creature from an unknown planet. The team rescued it, but it turned out to be a trap set by Skeleton King. Thingy can transform into a giant monster, but it is not evil. Its lick can repel Skeleton King's virus, and its fur can even be used in sandwiches! Thingy also appeared in a dream world episode.
Mobius Quint
Mobius Quint (voiced by Lance Henriksen) is a skilled galaxy pilot. The Hyperforce met him when they found his destroyed ship. They helped Quint rescue his crew from the Citadel of Bone. He briefly fell under the Citadel's control and became obsessed with revenge. Chiro helped him break free. Quint was last seen helping the Hyperforce in the final battle against the Skeleton King.
Captain Shuggazoom
Captain Shuggazoom (voiced by Bruce Campbell) was the previous protector of Shuggazoom City. His secret identity was a rich businessman named Clayton Carrington. After defeating his enemy, Doctor Malicious, Captain Shuggazoom returned a weapon to its creator, The Alchemist. The Alchemist, who was with the Monkey Team before they became robots, warned Captain Shuggazoom about the dangerous Dark Ones. He showed him a portal to the Netherworld to watch their growing power. Mandarin later damaged this portal, releasing a giant hand that attacked The Alchemist and a Demon Beast that terrorized Shuggazoom City.
Captain Shuggazoom fought the Demon Beast but was outmatched. He returned to The Alchemist's lab and found The Alchemist aging rapidly. The Alchemist explained that he was changing because of contact with the Dark Ones. Captain Shuggazoom used a Sleep Cannon on the Demon Beast, putting it to sleep, but he also got caught in the blast and fell into a cavern. Sixty years later, the Hyperforce found him sleeping. After waking him up, Captain Shuggazoom learned that The Alchemist had become the Skeleton King. He joined the Hyperforce to stop the Demon Beast, which had also woken up. He fired the Sleep Cannon from inside the beast, helping the Super Robot seal it back into the rift.
After the battle, Captain Shuggazoom went to The Alchemist's lab to learn what happened to him. He found a message from The Alchemist, who said that the Monkey Team was complete and needed to stop the evil he had unleashed. "Now The Dark Ones take my soul!" was The Alchemist's last chilling line as he fully transformed into the Skeleton King. Captain Shuggazoom was later attacked by Valina and Mandarin, who took The Alchemist's robe. He warned the Hyperforce before passing out. It is not known if he will join the final battle. Captain Shuggazoom has a strong mental connection to Antauri.
The Alchemist
The Alchemist (voiced by Mark Hamill) was a mysterious and kind man who combined Science and Magic. He created the Monkey Team. The Hyperforce met him in a dream world, where he guided them. They saw a flashback of him in a laboratory, creating the six baby monkeys and giving them robotic bodies and weapons. He then erased their memories so they wouldn't remember their origin. When the Hyperforce asked why, he explained, "Because of what I was becoming. I created you to protect the universe from a great evil... Myself!" He then transformed into the Skeleton King.
The Alchemist also left messages in his abandoned lab, explaining to a young Chiro that he created the Monkey Team there to fight a great evil. He helped Chiro rebuild the powerful Silver Monkey body. The Alchemist was also one of the three creators of the Super Robot. He was a close friend of Captain Shuggazoom and warned him about the Dark Ones. He showed Captain Shuggazoom a portal to the Netherworld. Mandarin damaged this portal, causing The Alchemist to be attacked and slowly transformed by the Dark Ones' evil influence. His last message confirmed his transformation into the Skeleton King. The Alchemist had a special bond with all his monkeys, especially Nova, whom he called "Dearest Nova." He saw them as his children.
Master Offay
Master Offay (voiced by Makoto Iwamatsu), also known as the Hard Master, runs a dojo on Planet Galaxia. He was Nova's former martial arts trainer. The Hyperforce met him while trying to destroy the Skeleton King Worm. Galaxia had been corrupted, turning its people into fighting monsters. Master Offay helped Chiro control his new monster form by teaching him ancient monster fighting ways. Chiro learned that Master Offay himself had been affected by the Skeleton King Worm's power. Chiro used his teachings and the Power Primate to bring Master Offay back to his senses. Master Offay was last seen helping the Hyperforce in the final battle.
Olliana
Olliana (voiced by Tara Strong) asked the team for help to stop an evil gamer named Commodore. Commodore's goal was to destroy planets to get the highest score in a game called "Galactic Smash." Olliana, like many other allies, was seen helping the team in the last episode's final scene.
Shuggazoom Citizens
These are some of the people who live in Shuggazoom City.
- BT and Glenny (voiced by Tom Kenny and Greg Cipes): Two teenagers who know Chiro from before the series started. It's not clear if they are his friends or if they used to tease him.
- Mr. Gackslapper (voiced by Clancy Brown): Mr. Gackslapper owns a fast-food restaurant called "Hoverburgers," where he cooks burgers that float.
- Nerd Kid and Mr. Cheepers (voiced by Tom Kenny): A man with red glasses and his stuffed penguin. He is seen often and has the most dialogue among the side characters, mostly talking to his penguin. Fans sometimes call him "Ned."
