Space Cases/Characters
 | Some or all of these characters need descriptions. A list of tropes is not a description. Please provide at least a few words telling how these characters differ from other characters with the same tropelists. |
Characters from Space Cases include:
The original characters
Harlan Band
The Hot Shot, All-American Earthling, defacto leader of the kids. He was skilled at gymnastics and martial arts. Played by Walter Jones, who played Zack, the original Black Ranger on Power Rangers. In the episode "All You Can Eaty," Harlan even tells Ms. Davenport and Suzee, he'll meet them back at "the command center." - known in all instances before as the com post. Um, wrong show, Walter.
Catalina
(played by Jewel Staite)
An Insufferable Genius with rainbow hair from Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Has the ability to produce supersonic screams. She has a friend named Suzee, who exists in another dimension. The other crew members think she doesn't exist and think she is just an "Imaginary Friend," at least at first. At the start of the second season, however, Catalina is transported to Suzee's dimension and Suzee comes to Catalina's (in the person of Rebecca Herbst, a few years before General Hospital).
Radu
A young man from Andromeda who possesses Super Strength (while being, in a reversion of the associated trope, short, slight, and not in the least bit imposing or aggressive) and super hearing. Because of their abilities, Andromedans were enslaved by an evil alien race called the Spung, the show's version of Star Trek's Klingons. Has romantic feelings for Suzee. Radu faces prejudice from Harlan early in the series, due to the fact that Harlan's father was killed by Andromedans during a war.
Bova
From Uranus, he has an antenna which creates electricity and a high metabolism. Really hates it when people make jokes about his home planet. Perpetually depressed, but in a "funny" way.
Rosie Ianni
Genki Girl Pollyanna from Mercury who is hairless and has hot pinkish skin. She can create heat and always has a "sunny" attitude about everything.
Thelma
The resident robot and ship's avatar. She's a little screwed up, thanks to Harlan stepping on and cracking her jewel. It's not clear how much of her personality was like that before the jewel cracking though.
T.J. Davenport
One of the two teachers on board. Extremely uptight and straitlaced. Has a tendency to faint.
Commander Seth Goddard
The second teacher: He is an officer (now busted of rank) who tries to whip the crew into shape.
The show later introduced
Elmira
Cute Monster Girl/Green-Skinned Space Babe member of the evil Spung species. Daughter of the team's Arch Nemesis, Warlord Shank. Was going to be a main character, but the network kiboshed it and shoved in Suzee.
Warlord Shank
(Played by George Takei)
Suzee
Catalina's "imaginary" friend from season 1 was really an alien girl living in a different dimension. Teen Genius, can perform Astral Projection, can breathe any atmosphere, and all the boys like her.
