Characters[edit]

Main Characters: Cybersquad[edit]

Jackie LeRange (voiced by Novie Edwards) is an 11-year-old African American girl. She loves to keep things neat and organized in order to figure things out. Her favorite activities include gymnastics, double Dutch, skipping, drawing, and writing plays about herself. She wears a yellow sweater with a sky blue denim skirt, red Jewelry, and dull lavender hi-tops. Jackie’s biggest pet peeve is slimy and icky stuff like bugs and many other "gross" things. Like Inez, she was very fond of Slider. Wicked called her Jacqueline once in episode 409 to try to be nice her. Matt called her that in the same episode just to tease her. In a running gag, Jackie sometimes freaks out when they're in a crisis. This encourages Matt to taunt her by making an Academy Awards-like "Award goes to" comment. Jackie: Cyberspace is doomed! Doomed, I tell you! DOOOOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-OOMED!!! Matt: And the award for best dramatic outburst of the day goes to...Jackie! Jackie: Matt! However, in the fifth season and the episodes after those, Jackie becomes more calm. Jackie hates the Hacker and thinks he is gross.

Iconic Line: "Make room! -- I gotta pace" and "Ew Ew and Double Ew!"

Iconic Action: Pacing, no matter the circumstance, even under water.

Matt Quinlan (voiced by Jacqueline Pillon) is an 11-year old Irish American boy and the leader of the Cybersquad. He likes skateboards and collecting things (his backpack is always full of useful items). He is impulsive, impatient, tells jokes, and knows a lot about Greek Mythology and Star Wars. He usually wears a long lime green turtle neck, a red backpack, neon blue jeans, and red hi-tops. According to episode 403, it is mentioned that Matt is impatient. He has a pig named Sherman on his family farm and loves other animals such as frogs and lizards. Matt’s red backpack contains his many ken-kens and yo-yos which he is very good at using.. He frequently calls Inez by the nickname "Nezzie," much to her annoyance. It is also shown that he has a crush on Inez. However, He seems to reciprocate those feelings due to his jealousy at Inez's closeness with Slider. It is also shown he can be quite protective of her at times. Inez called him Matthew twice in season 2, episodes 205 and 214 just to tease him. Matt is considered “The Hero” of the group.

Iconic Line: "Touchdown!"

Iconic Action: Twirling his Yo-Yo

Inez Ramon (voiced by Annick Obonsawin) is a 9-year-old Hispanic girl and is well known for her excellent vocabulary, for which the others often tease her about. She mostly wears a long-sleeved pink shirt with a large yellow star on the front, teal shorts, a purple hooded vest, a pair of square glasses, and higher blue boots. Despite being the youngest human member of the gang (only by a year), she's is “the Smart Guy”. Inez’s biggest pet peve is when Matt calls her “Nezzie.”, though she is fine with Slider calling her that. When asked why by Matt, she replies, “He’s… different,” implying that she likes Slider. Inez wears a Sherlock hat in season 2, episode 212.

Iconic Line: "Ohhh This is not good. This is not good at all!"

Iconic Action: A handstand.

Digit LeBoid (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried) is a cybird who works for Motherboard and is the kids' best friend. He and the kids protect Cyberspace and Motherboard from Hacker. Digit was created by Hacker and worked for him for a long time, along with Buzz and Delete. He escaped after learning of Hacker's evil doings. He became one of Motherboard's helpers, serving as Dr. Marbles' assistant. He would later join the Cybersquad. Digit can fly by spinning his tail feathers in a helicopter-fashion, or simply by flapping his wings (There are a few episodes where it shows Digit flying with his wings). But he has a fear of heights and prefers to walk, despite the fact that he can fly.. He's a cook and wrote his two popular cookbooks 'The Cyber Chef' and 'Cookin' with the Didge'. He carries many objects in his chest, including Widget. He used to try building virtual nests and didn't have such accurate practice. He can turn his beak into just about anything, and bends it on usual occasion. In 107, he doesn't appear. He also can disguise his voice very well.
