Freakazoid!

Background

Episodes

Characters

• Freakazoid – The protagonist of the series. He is the alter ego of geeky 16-year-old computer ace Dexter Douglas, a student of Harry Connick Jr. High School who became Freakazoid after the Pinnacle Chip inside his computer was activated. To transform and detransform, Dexter says "Freak out!" and "Freak in!" respectively. Dexter and Freakazoid are sometimes considered to be separate identities, and other times are considered the same person.

  The Douglas family

• Debbie Douglas – Dexter's mother. She is unaware he is Freakazoid and is generally blithe and clueless.
• Douglas Douglas – Dexter's father. He is incompetent but still attempts to keep his family in line.
• Duncan Douglas – Dexter's older brother. He is a stereotypical jock who often bullies Dexter, but is frequently tormented by Freakazoid.
• Mr. Chubbikins – The Douglas' cat who caused Dexter's transformation into Freakazoid after accidentally typing in the key sequence that activated the Pinnacle Chip's flaw.

  Allies

• Sgt. Mike Cosgrove – A gruff yet kind-hearted police sergeant who is friends with Freakazoid and several other characters. He has the ability to get people to stop what they are doing by pointing at something and saying "Cut it out". He can also find Freakazoid no matter where he is and often interrupts him to ask him to visit various entertainments, which Freakazoid always agrees to. During this visit, Cosgrove reveals important information about the plot of the episode, resulting in Freakazoid leaving to foil the villain's scheme. Additionally, Freakazoid entrusted Cosgrove with his secret identity and is upset when he accidentally reveals it to Steff and Professor Jones.
