- List of characters in Bucky O'Hare
This article is about characters who appear in "Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars".
.P.A.C.E. Members and Allies
Commander Dogstar
Wolf is Commander Dogstar's second-in-command, a
wolf with a mohawk who served asfirst mate of the "Indefagitable". In stark contrast to Dogstar's sense of dramatic timing and his penchant for melodrama, Wolf is much more laid back and calm, often seeming monotonous, and on at least one occasion (in "The Komplex Caper") he expresses frustration with his commander. He first appeared in the episode "A Fistful of Simoleans", and in "The Taking of Pilot Jenny" he, Digger McSquint and Rumble Bee assisted Bucky in battling Komplex-2-Go.Wolf's rather generic-sounding name in comparison to the other members of Dogstar's crew is a product of the script for the second episode of the series, "A Fistful of Simoleans". Although in the final version only he, Dogstar, and a third unnamed canine raid Tinker's spy shop, in the script Digger, Rumble Be, and Pitstop Pete also appeared, but were named simply "Mole," "Robot," and "Pit Bull." Wolf, being a wolf, was named accordingly. But because the other three were cut from the episode, they were able to have different names later on in "The Komplex Caper" and "The Taking of Pilot Jenny", but not poor Wolf. Wolf's voice was done by
Richard Newman .Appearances:
*"A Fistful of Simoleans"
*"The Good, the Bad and the Warty"
*"The Komplex Caper"
*"The Taking of Pilot Jenny"Digger McSquint
Pitstop Pete, a
pit bull , was a member of Commander Dogstar's crew aboard the "Indefagitable". He played a vital role in helping to stop Komplex from stealing the brainwaves of mammals.He was originally meant to first appear in "A Fistful of Simoleans" where he accompanies Dogstar and Wolf on their raid of Tinker's spy shop. In the script he is simply called "Pit Bull." By getting cut out of the episode, the writers were able to give Pete a less generic name later on when he appears in "The Komplex Caper" with the rest of the crew. For some reason he did not appear in "The Taking of Pilot Jenny" with the others, however. Pitstop's only line in the entire series was "Yep" since he didn't have much dialogue.
Appearances:
*"The Komplex Caper"ecretary General
Harman, a large
walrus , served as one of the three leaders of the United Animal Security Council alongside Grebb and the Secretary General. He presided over the signing of thetreaty between the Federation and the Corsair Canards (against the advice of Grebb who disliked thepirates ). At Grebb's insistence, Harman ruled that the treaty would be null and void should the Corsair Canards revert to their thieving ways.Little did anyone know though that "Harman" was actually a
newt in disguise, controlling a largerobot body from the head, a spy hired by the Toad Empire through Al Negator. The newt reported to the toads through Al in return for their promise that he would bedictator of Genus once the war was over. However when Al was caught by Bucky O'Hare in the midst of a scheme to frame the Corsair Canards, he gave Bucky proof that Harman was a fake in exchange for his freedom. Unmasked back on Genus, the newt attempted to flee but was stopped by Redjack. Harman's voice was done by Gary Chalk.Appearances:
*"Corsair Canards"Major Bottlenose
Komplex is a sentient
computer program that manifests itself in the form of acomputerized toad face on viewscreens, and is the unopposed ruler of the Toad Empire. Komplex was created by Dr. Hopkins and his two colleagues, Dr. Wartimer and Dr. Croakley and entrusted to run their entire planet, the Toad Homeworld.The program somehow became not only sentient but
malicious , and used its stranglehold on all things electronic to brainwash the entire toad race and mold them into an evil,fascist empire . To ensure that they would remain brainwashed, Komplex ensured that they would all watch mind-numbingly addictive Toad TV. Komplex's goal was to take over the entire Aniverse because for unknown reasons it has a frothing hatred of non-toad races.In the comic, the computer was unnamed but upon achieving sentienced named "itself" Komplex, whereas in the cartoon it was always known as Komplex by its creators. In both the comic and the cartoon, "Komplex" is "toad-speak" for "Feed me."
Although primarily preferring to appear on viewscreens to communicate with its various underlings and never really take a direct part in things, in the final episode of the series, "The Taking of Pilot Jenny", Komplex uploaded itself into a robot body called "Komplex-2-Go" after deciding it needed to handle Bucky O'Hare personally. Next to Toadborg and the Total Terror Toad, Komplex-2-Go proved to be one of the most formidable enemies Bucky ever faced, being not only nearly indestructible but also armed with a wide variety of deadly
missile -based weapons. Despite being assisted by almost the entire crew of the "Indefatigable" Bucky could only damage Komplex in this form, and it was only through sheer luck (and some help from Jenny during anout-of-body experience ) that Bucky was able to overcome the mechanical monster and destroy Komplex. Komplex's voice was done byLong John Baldry .Like many other toad and toad-related characters in the series, Komplex appeared in the
arcade game as an enemy. Specifically, he appears as the final boss in the final stage of the game, wherein the player must defeat him to obtain the Planetary Life Force. Komplex appears in an android body called Komplex-2-Go, but it looks nothing like the version shown in "The Taking of Pilot Jenny". Also, his face on the viewscreen looks nothing like his cartoon counterpart.Appearances:

*"Bucky O'Hare (arcade game) "Toad Air Marshall
Toadborg is a high-ranking official in the Toad Empire, second only to Komplex. Toadborg's real name is unknown. At some point prior to the Toad Wars he was so critically injured in battle that over half of his body had to replaced by
cybernetic components. Though it is unknown how much of his body is replaced, it is assumed that only his brain is saved. Cool and methodical, Toadborg was easily the most-feared of Komplex's minions, striking terror into the hearts of even his fellow toads. Few things can ever make the seemingly emotionless Toadborg lose his temper, and these include the outright stupidity of his subordinates, usually on the part ot the Air Marshall, and the heroic shennanigans of Bucky O'Hare. He also, especially, hates being confused with arobot .Naturally, Toadborg appears as an enemy in the
arcade game . He is the main boss of two levels. He first appears during the Planet Punk stage, and upon being defeated is picked up and flown away by a Double Bubble. Towards the end of the game, Toadborg returns as the boss aboard the Toad Mothership. This time, the player desroys him for good (and the mothership is subsequently blown up as well).Appearances:

*"Bucky O'Hare (arcade game) "Frix and Frax
Andy Phibian is the star reporter for TTN, the
news network of Toad TV. His primary purpose is to providepropaganda for the mindless toad masses, demonizing themammal freedom fighters (in particular Bucky O'Hare), but hishappy-go-lucky attitude often grates on the nerves of his superiors (in particular Toadborg).Andy appears in the
arcade game , during the Toad Star level: he can be seen on several TV screens reporting on the destruction of the toad mothership (which occurred in the level immediately prior).Appearances:
*"A Fistful of Simoleans"
*"The Good, the Bad and the Warty"
*"Bucky O'Hare (arcade game) "Captain Smada
The Master Toad Spy is (ostensibly) the best
secret agent the Toad Empire has. He appears at the beginning of the episode "The Komplex Caper" where, as part of Komplex's plan to steal mammal brainwaves, he sets up a specialsatellite transmitter /receiver in mammal space. Before he can return to base he is surprised and captured by Deadeye who uses his own tongue to tie him, and the Master Spy is taken as a prisoner aboard the "Righteous Indignation". He refuses to divulge any information about his mission, telling Bucky that he cantorture him, tempt him with fly speckfondue , or even tie him up with his own tongue again, but he would not talk. Bucky solved this problem by simply calling Bruiser in, and one look at the huge Berserker Baboon made the Spy break and hurriedly tell the heroes everything. Afterwards he was tossed into the brig. He wasn't seen again since so his fate is uncertain.Appearances:
*"The Komplex Caper"Other Aniversians
Larry and Bob
The High Artificer is (apparently) the ruler of the planet Aldebaran. In any case she is definitely the leader of the order of Aldebaran Artificers, depicted as being a gracefully aged, white female cat wearing flowing purple robes and a tall golden crown. She appears in the episode "The Artificers of Aldebaran" and is the grandmother of Jenny's apprentice, Princess Felicia.
Note that in "The Good, the Bad and the Warty", Jenny confers with someone she refers to as Mother Aldebaran. However this cat has green fur, and there is nothing to indicate she is meant to be the same person as the High Artificer in "The Artificers of Aldebaran". She is given the name "Queen Katrina" in the Web Series.
Appearances:
*"The Artificers of Aldebaran"Captain Lanelle
Scarbill is (apparently) an elder member of one of the Corsair Canard clans. He first appears when he breaks up a fight between Deadeye and Redjack, insisting their rivalry be kept a private matter. He later presided over the clan meeting during the debate over the U.A.F. treaty. As his name suggests, he sported a scar across the top of his bill.
Kamikaze Kamo
The aunt of Bucky O'Hare and presumably the mother of Jeffrey, Aunt Iris and her son were taken as slaves by the Toad Empire to build a new
climate converter on Kinnear (to replace the one destroyed in the botched invasion of Genus). When Bucky - using the alias Angus McJump - infiltrated the slave factory, it was Iris who recognized hernephew and introduced him to resistance leader Mimi LaFloo.Appearances:
*"Home, Swampy, Home"Cousin Jeffrey
Dr. Wartimer and Dr. Croakley are the other two Creators, who appear alongside Dr. Hopkins in "Kreation Konspiracy". Wartimer is the more
cynical andsarcastic of the two, while the quieter, gentler Croakley can be told apart from his colleague by hisglasses . The two, along with Hopkins, abduct Blinky to serve as the navigational computer for their ship, and ultimately are helped on their way to Genus by Bucky O'Hare and his crew.Like many other characters in the show, their names are never given onscreen, and come from the shooting scripts included as a special feature on the Region 2 DVD of the series. Only Dr. Hopkins is ever actually identified by name in dialogue. Because the scripts only recently became available, fans made up names for the second and third Creators for use in the Web Series: they are referred to as "Dr. Green" (Croakley), and "Dr. Wort" (Wartimer).

*"A Fistful of Simoleans" (only in flashback form)
*"Kreation Konspiracy"Quentin
David and Sunshine DuWitt are the parents of Willy DuWitt. We are never shown their faces, just as we are never shown the faces of any human adults on Earth throughout the series, due to a decision by the writers to keep the Earth scenes on Willy's level. As a result, only the faces of Willy and other children are ever shown. David and Sunshine only appear twice in the series, and are only actually seen in the first episode, at the dinner table with Willy. Here, David tells his son (who is having problems at school), "Son, some things are so important they're worth doing, no matter what the cost." Willy carries this information with him to the Aniverse and uses it as his justification for staying and helping despite the possibility of never returning home. Both David and Sunshine are apparently former
hippies , as evidenced by Sunshine's name, her concern forwhales and theozone layer , and the fact that both she and David talk about being late for "the rally."Appearances:
*"War of the Warts"
*"The Search For Bruce"Doug McKenna
Susie is a friend of Willy's at school, a young girl his age first seen with him in the episode "On the Blink" at the
San Francisco Zoo where she criticized his overly analytical attitude towards living creatures. Susie felt that Willy focused too much on the scientific side of nature, and did not have much regard for how the animals actually felt. Later, in "Bye Bye Berserker Baboon", she tried to warn him about an older girl named TJ who was taking advantage of his intelligence to cheat on tests. Although Willy initially did not listen to her, he eventually came around, and the two went to the school dance together.Appearances:
*"On the Blink"
*"Bye Bye Berserker Baboon"TJ
This unnamed mouse is found by Bucky and his crew being held prisoner on an asteroid by some evil aliens who are apparently in league with the toads. In return for freeing him, the mouse helps Bucky and the others out throughout the remainder of their adventure through the asteroid belt, using his magic powers to create bridges between the floating asteroids. At the end of the stage, he begs them to help liberate Planet Rat, his homeworld, which has been taken over by the toads. He is seen twice more in the game, both times alongside Ro-Dent.
Appearances:
*"Bucky O'Hare (arcade game) "Rabbit
This unnamed green rabbit (actually a hare) is one of the many imprisoned by the toads on Planet Punk in the second stage of the game. After Bucky frees him and a few others from their cages, he pleads with Bucky to rescue the others, who are being guarded by Toadborg at the end of the level. He is not seen among the cheering hares after Bucky defeats Toadborg and saves them, but he is seen at the very end of the game with an unnamed female hare, looking up into the sky as the Planetary Life Force restores the planet (whether it is Punk or Warren is never said).
This character, as well as all the other minor hares appearing in the game, are based on the character designs for the hares rescued by Bucky at the start of "War of the Warts".
Appearances:
*"Bucky O'Hare (arcade game) "Cyborg Spider
The Cyborg Spider is precisely what his name implies: a gigantic arachnid with cybernetic enhancements. He appears as the main boss of the Planet Rat stage of the game, guarding the captive Ro-Dent. Despite his cocky boasting prior to their fight, Bucky destroys him in short order, ensuring Ro-Dent's freedom.
The Spider also appeared in the UK comic book series, as an underling of Toadborg.
