Michael Collins

Michael Collins is a recurring character of The Proud Family, then later became a main supporting character of The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder.
==History==
Michael Collins is Penny Proud's flamboyant male friend. He acts effeminate and loves fashion, because of which he gets made fun of. He is a good fashion designer and basketball player as well as a choreographer. Michael's father is a coach and gym teacher at Willy T. Ribbs Middle School, and feels embarrassed by his son. In public, Michael is forced to call his father "Coach" instead of "Dad" or "Daddy." Though he is often bullied, Michael is a big trash talker and gets along well with others more often than not.
In the sequel series, Louder and Prouder, Michael is gender non-conforming and openly gay.https://www.polygon.com/disney-plus/22883924/the-proud-family-revival-series-trailer-release-date He is one of the few boys that Oscar tolerates due to his lack of interest in girls.

*Michael's Louder and Prouder actor, EJ Johnson, is the son of Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr., who served as the inspiration for Wizard Kelly.
