characters
Fanboy , a fan of fantasy and science fiction , is one of the main characters in the series. He wears a purple mask, gloves and a green superhero suit that is supposed to represent the Riddler 's. His best friend Chum Chum is always by his side.
Chum Chum / Chumersson is Fanboy's best friend and second main character in the series. Even though he's significantly younger than the other main characters, he's still in the same class. The show creator stated that Chum Chum snuck into Fanboy's class and the teacher would never care about the ages of his students. Like Fanboy, he has no super powers. He is easily excitable and wears an orange t-shirt with a logo on his face, yellow pants, a cape, underwear on the outside of his clothes, a diaper inside his clothes, and a black mask and gloves.
Kyle is a wizard boy. He has an aversion to Fanboy and Chum Chum. He is mostly bored and in a bad mood. He often tries to hurt Fanboy and Chum Chum with magic, but this always fails.
Lenny is the salesperson and manager of Frosty Mart. He doesn't like the two main characters either. Lenny is black and wears an afro .
Jo is a girl obsessed with Chum Chum who is constantly trying to kidnap him. Fanboy always comes to his aid.
Michael Johnson also goes to Fanboy's class. He doesn't speak much, and when he does, only words like yeah or shamone . Michael is black and has an early 80s haircut. Among other things, he likes to dance and wears a red leather jacket that Michael Jackson also wore in the thriller music video. He also wears sunglasses frequently, both on the street and indoors.
Boog is the only employee at Frosty Mart besides Lenny. He doesn't like Fanboy and Chum Chum. In contrast to Lenny, he is not a permanent employee and plays video games or reads comics during his shift. He constantly insults Fanboy and Chum Chum and is the antagonist of the series.
