Catboy

**Catboy** (real name: **Connor**) is the main protagonist of *PJ Masks*. He is the leader, one quarter of the PJ Masks and he is the Marvel-influenced counterpart of the original Yoyo from an alternate universe. His vehicular method of travel is the Cat-Car.

## History

Long before the events of the television series, Connor met his friends Amaya and Greg in a sandpit at school.

At an unknown specific time, Catboy, alongside Owlette and Gekko, would obtain their powers by receiving superhero suits created by their Animal Spirits. However, it is unknown what caused the Animal Spirits to give him and his friends their powers.

## Official Website description

Catboy is the leader of the trio, and the oldest too. Incredibly fast, amazingly agile, he can hear the quietest sounds across unbelievable distances! But he's also afraid of water! Still, when adventure beckons, “The amazing Catboy leaps to the rescue!” With these skills Catboy can outrun anyone and gives Night Ninja a challenge with his amazing leaps and acrobatic moves! His vehicle, the Cat-Car, gets the heroes from A to B in lightning speed and even shoots moth balls should there be anything in the way!

## Personality

### As Connor

Connor takes great enjoyment in associating with Greg and Amaya. He can be a bit clumsy at times; this was especially emphasized in "Clumsy Catboy." He's also nice, smart, caring, friendly, helpful, and funny. In "Catboy's Great Gig," it is shown that he sometimes has intense stage fright, similar to how Greg becomes nervous when he's presenting to the class.

### As Catboy

As Catboy, Connor leads the PJ Masks through the steps of defeating villains such as Romeo, Luna Girl & Night Ninja. He prefers to have his own way, but still respects Owlette and Gekko when they ring in with their opinions. On many occasions, like his fellow members, childlike immaturity tends to overtake his mindset on the mission leading to issues (such as getting frustrated in "Catboy and Master Fang's Sword" and letting leadership go to his head in "Catboy Takes Control"), but this is always realized and corrected leading to the mission being done properly, and the villain's plans foiled. Despite being the leader of the team, each member still has as much priority.

### As a Cat

In "Robot's Pet Cat," Romeo used his animal ray to turn him into a cat so that Robot can have a pet.

### As Kitten Boy

When he got zapped by the Baby Beam and turned into Kitten Boy in "Terrible Two-Some," he can be quite curious, playful, and cute, but sometimes, he can be bratty, demanding, and more emotional. He can sometimes act like a real cat and he can actually drink milk from a bowl like one, too. He also likes to chase butterflies, play with fur balls, and he can even walk, climb, sit, pounce, and run like a cat.

### As Night Panther

When Catboy got zapped by the Opposite Ray and turned into Night Panther in "Gekko and the Opposite Ray," he is evil and hostile, as he and Dark Owl are super enemies with Gekko. However, he argues with Dark Owl a lot, and he is also competitive, since he and Dark Owl have tried to win against each other when trying to defeat Gekko.

## Motive & Abilities

### Motive

#### General

Catboy and the rest of the PJ Masks will fight various nighttime villains that are scientifically oriented, most of his appearances often involve him and the team stopping villains from stealing stuff.

#### Night Panther

As Night Panther, he and Dark Owl are motivated by their desire to have the things they want by any means necessary, while acting as an associate for other villains such as Romeo.

His motive as a villain is similar to Luna Girl's motive on stealing.

### Abilities

* **Super Cat Speed**: His primary power, which allows him to run extremely fast. How fast exactly varies between episodes, but in the most extreme cases he is faster than the eye can see. However, he can only use this speed for short amounts of time (as seen in "Catboy and the Lunar Dome"). He can also use his speed to make things he touches go faster (as seen in "Moon Madness").
	+ A side effect of this power is that he generates lightning while running, which he can harness for other purposes like recharging robots (as seen in "Robot Goes Wrong”) and the PJ Crystal (as seen in "Super Super Cat Speed").
* **Super Cat Ears**: He has enhanced hearing, allowing him to hear sounds that would otherwise be well outside his hearing range.
* **Super Cat Jump**: Another side effect of his super speed, he can jump much higher than a regular human.
	+ **Super Cat Leap**: A combination of Super Cat Speed and Super Cat Jump that allows him to jump in a fast reaction time.
* **Super Cat Stripes**: A power he gained in *PJ Power Up*; Catboy can shoot glowing blue energy stripes that can be used to tie up opponents or to grab/hold on to objects.
* **Amulet Symbol**: When pressed, he can communicate with his spirit animal (represented as the Alley Cat).
* **Prehensile Tail**: He is capable of using his cat tail to pick up objects such as a tennis racket or the remote for the Vacuum of Doom.
* **Super Furball**: A power gained in "Ninja Power Up," he can shoot furballs from his hands as projectiles.

The following powers were temporarily gained in "Owlette of a Kind":

* **Cat Eyes**: A power identical to Owlette's "Owl Eyes," caused by Romeo's Power Copier. This power was self-nicknamed by Catboy upon discovery.
* **Owl Wing Wind**: Another temporary power of Owlette's caused by Romeo's Power Copier.

The following power, Super Cat Speed, was used when he was turned into Kitten Boy, though taking on different names:

* **Supa Cat Speed**: In "Terrible Two-Some."
* **Supa Dupa Speedy Cat**: In "Big Sister Motsuki."

The following powers were the same when he was turned into Night Panther in "Gekko and the Opposite Ray," though taking on different names/appearances:

* **Night Panther Stripes**: The opposite of Super Cat Stripes and were white in appearance.
* **Panther Pounce**: The opposite of Super Cat Jump.
