Green Gatling(Finn Wolfhard) 	Gatling is the 14-year old and one of the youngest heroes in Pittsburgh. Earning his big sense of justice from his foster father, he became a caped crusader, using his training to take out bad guys. He's a pretty eccentric kid and has a lotta wit in him. When not crime fighting he spends his time tinkering with his gadgets and devices. 	
Drinktank(James A. Tayler) 	Drinktank is one of Gatling's best friends, being with him ever since GG stared fighting crime. Depending on what liquid he drinks, he'll gain a different power until he has to, uh, "let it all out". He's usually the reasonable one of the group and pefers to have a plan ready before going out to deal some justice if he has time for it. 	
Brick(Khary Payton) 	Brick is the other best friend of Gatling, his mother being an old friend of Chad. He is powered with super strengh and can lift 10x his size, though he needs to be calm for him to use his full powers. He's a little bit on the dumb side but Brick is very loyal to his two best friends. He also is way better at poetry then anyone thought. 	
Tharanna(Natalie Lander) 	Tharanna is an Alien from another planet whos species are a proud warrior race. She was sent to Earth to protect her until a war on her planet was settled. Ranna is a bit hot-headed and is a tad bit obsessed with fighting, she's a good "person" nontheless. She does not understand earth very much, which can lead to her doing odd stuff. 	
Captain Turbo(Steve Blum) 	Captain Turbo is one of the oldest living heroes alive. After helping out Gatling when one of Turbo's old enemies returned, he decided to give the four some advice, thus becoming Gatling's mentor. He's kind but has a staggering amount of wit inside him, which he admits he does to take his mind off of how he might be getting too old.

Officer Chad Pond(James M. Conner)	Chad is a police officer and the adopted father of Gatling (real name Calvin). He took in Gatling after his real father asked to protect the child. He's proud that Gatling would risk his life to save others, he also wishes that the job wasn't so risky. He also isn't a fan of Gatling digging through the recycling to craft his gadgets, it's really messy. 	
Vincent Conner(Mark Hamill) 	Gatling's real father. He was a small crook who only stole in order to provide for his family. After his Wife left him and their child, he decided to just turn himself in, have someone look over his son, and get his sentence over with. Gatling doesn't really know him well, and they don't really talk much aside from the occasional visit during house arrest. 	
Animorpho(Kevin Conroy) 	Animorpho is a trained ninja with the ability to morph his arms, legs, and head into a animal body part (plus dragon parts). He's not exactly a people person and doesn't work well with others, dispite his well intentions. This is why he joins Strikeforce later on, to get the hang on this "teamwork" thing people are talking about so much.

Flamefreeze(Greg Ellis) 	Flamefreeze is a aussie criminal and one of the first villains Gatling has faced. He has two arm canons on him: one shoots fire, the other shoots ice. FF has an odd respect for the hero after their 1st encounter and enjoys their fights against one another, though it does not stop him from trying to kill him and his friends. Being a criminal runs in his family. 	
Grim Gatling(Josh Keaton) 	Grim is a being from a universe where good is evil and vice versa. Unlike the heroic, kind, and sane Gatling, Grim is a villain, downright sadistic, and completley insane, hearing a voice in his head with urges him to do all this. After getting thrown into the posiverse, he decides to stick around to see the kind of chaos he could pull of. He is awful at acting.

==Development==
The concept for the show was originally developed as a concept for a Video Game, meant to be published by Golden Studios. While the game was shelved due to being busy assisting Nintendo, the concept was pitched to Cartoon Network. They greenlit the idea, and thus the show began development. The show went through a few very different ideas, from being a straight-up parody of Superhero shows to a dark parody of children superhero shows to even giving Gatling electric powers. It was settled on a homage instead of a parody.
==Trivia==
===General===
*The idea was inspired by Spectacular Spider-Man, so much so that Josh Keaton was considered to be casted as the main hero. Finn Wolfhard was chosen instead so Gatling would actually sound young.
*Gatling cannot dance for the life of him.
*A game based on the show is in-development by Golden Studios, ironically.
===Unused Ideas===
*Gatling was going to be a bit different, with electic-based powers and a different name: Green Gigawatt. This was scrapped because it was too similar to fellow super hero Static Shock.
*Tharanna was going to have a crush on Gatling, but after a few friends complained that it was cliche, it was changed so they would both only be friends. Although Drinktank may get lucky...
*Gatling's Dad was meant to play a bigger role, but it clashed with the comedic tone too much.
*The whole series was originally going to be a video game, but after Golden Studios initially turned it down, it was developed as a cartoon instead.
*As stated above, Josh Keaton was to originally play Gatling. Other choices where James Arnold Taylor, Drake Bell, or Tom Kenny. Josh Keaton was re-casted as Grim Gatling, however.
**Also, Kevin Conroy was originally casted as Captain Turbo, but it was decided he'd fit Animorpho better.
