Teamo Supremo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teamo Supremo is an animated television series created by Disney. Animated in the limited animation style pioneered by Jay Ward and Hanna-Barbera, predecessors which inspired its style, it tells of three superhero kids: Captain Crandall, Skate Lad, and Rope Girl. These three protect their state from all sorts of supervillains, such as the evil Baron Blitz, and the shape-changing femme fatale known as Madame Snake.
The series made its premiere on Disney's One Saturday Morning block on January 20, 2002, where almost all of its first season aired. However, it started regularly airing on Toon Disney in September of that same year, where most of its second season premiered. During spring of 2003, about half of its third season premiered on ABC Kids. In September of that year, it was taken off ABC Kids to make room for Lilo & Stitch: The Series, leaving the rest of the episodes to premiere on Toon Disney. 39 episodes were made, with 75 total stories.

[edit] Characters
[edit] Teamo Supremo
- Crandall / Captain Crandall - The leader of Teamo Supremo and only Caucasian member. He thinks that he is an alien from another planet. He is often addressed as "Cap" by his teammates. His skin has been known to turn purple when he gets very angry or he gets drunked. His gadgets include a special Level 7 belt, as well as a yo-yo, marbles, boomerang, and shield. Voiced by Spencer Breslin.
- Brenda / Rope Girl - An Asian-American girl member of Teamo Supremo. She always speaks with a Western drawl. Her gadget is a jumprope which has the ability to transform her into Rope Girl. Voiced by Alanna Ubach.
- Hector Felipé Corrio / Skate Lad - A Mexican member of Teamo Supremo, is the state's skateboarding champion. His main gadget is a patriotic skateboard that has jet engines in it. Voiced by Tom Kenny.
[edit] Other Good Guys
- Governor Kevin - The "groovy" governor of the state they live in. Voiced by Martin Mull.
- Chief Epsilon - The chief of police, mainly referred to as "Chief". His last name, Epsilon, has been given in a few episodes. He looks somewhat like Mr. Spacely from The Jetsons. Voiced by Joe Alaskey and Brian Doyle-Murray.
- "Earth Mom" - Crandall's mother. He refers to her as "Earth Mom" since he thinks he is an alien. She is completely oblivious to the fact that Crandall and his friends are superheroes (or so it may seem). Voiced by Julia Sweeney.
- Jean - Crandall's older sister. She always has a different career that she wants to be in every episode. Voice ed Rachel Crane.
- Mr. Paulson - The eccentric director of Level 7, a top-secret facility that makes Teamo's gadgets. Voiced by Fred Willard.
- Samantha - Paulson's assistant.
- Mrs. Woolingantz - Teamo's schoolteacher who often excuses them if Governor Kevin needs them. She doesn't assign much homework, but gets angry when it isn't done.
- Action the Dog - Crandall's dog. He is sometimes called to help Teamo in certain missions, ala Ace the Bat-Hound.
- Snakey the Snake - 2D's snake. He bites people like him.
- The Silver Shield a.k.a. Gordon - Crandall's grandfather, who has had a Captain America-like superhero identity.
- The Dark Talon a.k.a. Nick - Crandall's other grandfather, who has had a Batman-like superhero identity.
- The Aracnid Man a.k.a. Bob - Crandall's next other grandfather, who has a Spider-Man-like superhero identity.
- The Green Beast a.k.a. Percy - Crandall's new next other grandfather, who has a The Incredible Hulk-like superhero identity.
- Hector's Mom - Hector's mother, obviously. Although mostly called "Hector's Mom", she was addressed as "Mrs. Corrio" in one episode, thus revealing Hector's last name.
- "The Twins" - Hector's unnamed twin sisters, who often speak gibberish in unison.
- Brenda's Mom - Brenda's mother, whom she seems to get her western accent from.
- Barclae a.k.a. Diaper Dude - Brenda's baby brother, who once helped Teamo in one of their adventures.
- Teamo's Dads - Teamo's respective fathers, but not much is known about them as they've only been seen in one episode. Crandall's dad seems to read the newspaper a lot, and Hector's dad runs a skateboard shop.
- Patience - The Chief's daughter. She has her mother's figure and her father's vocal cords. Voiced by Vene Arcoraci.
- Mauricio the Comedian - A black comedian.
- Tiffany Javelins a.k.a. the Songstress a.k.a. Sally Smith - A teen singer whom Brenda idolizes. Originally worked for the Mischievous Manager, but turned good afterwards. (Strangely, Toon Disney's official site for the show still labels her as a villain.)
- Captain Excellent - An old superhero whom Crandall idolizes.
- B. Barry Berylium - Chief editor of the state's newspaper, The Stately Planet. He prefers being addressed as "Chief" over "Sir". His name is an homage to Spider-Man character J. Jonah Jameson and the Senior Vice President of Walt Disney Television Animation at the time, Barry Blumberg.
- A certain teenage blonde is usually the one to tell Mrs. Woolingantz that Governor Kevin needs Teamo's help. Her name was never revealed in the series, nor did she ever actually have dialogue (she always whispers to the teacher). Interestingly, the first time she appeared on the show, she looked as though she was the kids' age and handed a note to Mrs. Woolingantz rather than whispering.
- The state's newscaster always pops up on TV to deliver news. His name was never revealed either.
[edit] Recurring villains
- Baron Blitz - A blue man with a German accent. He is known for taking control of wax statues, and later on bronze statues and animatronics. Voiced Maurice LaMarche.
- Technor the Mechanized Man - Originally invented by Dr. Two-Brains to be a robot psychologist; now power-hungry. His henchmen are called TechnoCreeps, and he often travels in his power-sucking Magna Body.

Voiced by Mark Hamill.
- Madam Snake - A femme fatale with the ability to change her appearance.
- Mr. Large - A stereotypical mob leader who likes large items. Unlike most of the villains on the show, his henchmen have names: Ernie the Hat, Mickey the Shirt, and Rosie the Purse. Voiced by Edward Asner.
- Helius Inflato - A guy who can inflate himself and fly, hence his name. He wants to build a casino in the state, but isn't allowed to.
- Laser Pirate a.k.a. Larry - A former colleague of Paulson, he is the only pirate that doesn't like water due to a college incident. His hideout is a skyscraper that flies around (a possible homage to Monty Python's The Meaning of Life). Voiced by Tim Curry.
- The Gauntlet a.k.a. Crawford - Formerly one of Paulson's co-workers, he continually wreaks havoc with a pair of powerful Gauntlets he's always able to steal. Voiced by Wallace Shawn.
- Hypnotheria - A hypnosis-themed villain. Voiced by April Winchell.
- Dehydro - A water-themed baddie. He has a habit of repeating himself, and repeating himself is what he does. He over-reiterates, and says things too many times. Voiced by Diedrich Bader
- Mr. Vague - A rather dull bad guy with grey skin. He's never specific.
- Electronica a.k.a. Polly Pixel - A former video game designer furious over the fact that players constantly beat her games using cheating devices. Voiced by Grey DeLisle.
