==Characters== * '''Freakazoid''' (voiced by [[Paul Rugg]]) β The protagonist of the series. He is the alter ego of [[geek]]y 16-year-old computer ace '''Dexter Douglas''' (voiced by [[David Kaufman (actor)|David Kaufman]]), a student of [[Harry Connick Jr.]] High School who became Freakazoid after the Pinnacle Chip inside his computer was activated. To transform and detransform, Dexter says "Freak out!" and "Freak in!" respectively. Dexter and Freakazoid are sometimes considered to be separate identities, and other times are considered the same person. ===The Douglas family=== * '''Debbie Douglas''' (voiced by [[Tress MacNeille]]) β Dexter's mother, who is unaware he is Freakazoid and is generally blithe and clueless. * '''Douglas Douglas''' (voiced by [[John P. McCann]]) β Dexter's father, who is incompetent but still attempts to keep his family in line. * '''Duncan Douglas''' (voiced by Googy Gress) β Dexter's older brother. He is a stereotypical [[Jock (stereotype)|jock]] who often bullies Dexter, but is frequently tormented by Freakazoid. * '''Mr. Chubbikins''' (vocal effects provided by [[Frank Welker]]) β The Douglas' cat, who caused Dexter's transformation into Freakazoid after accidentally typing in the key sequence that activated the Pinnacle Chip's flaw. ===Allies=== * '''Sgt. Mike Cosgrove''' (voiced by [[Ed Asner]]) β A gruff yet kind-hearted police sergeant who is friends with Freakazoid and several other characters. He has the ability to get people to stop what they are doing by pointing at something and saying "Cut it out". He can also find Freakazoid no matter where he is, and often interrupts him to ask him to visit various entertainments, which Freakazoid always agrees to. During this visit, Cosgrove reveals important information about the plot of the episode, resulting in Freakazoid leaving to foil the villain's scheme. Additionally, Freakazoid entrusted Cosgrove with his secret identity, and is upset when he accidentally reveals it to Steff and Professor Jones. * '''Roddy MacStew''' (voiced by [[Craig Ferguson]]) β Freakazoid's mentor and expositionist. He is an ill-tempered Scotsman who once worked for Guitierrez and was the first to discover the Pinnacle Chip's flaw. Using the Chip, MacStew can travel to and from [[cyberspace]]. * '''Steff''' (voiced by Tracy Rowe) β Freakazoid's kind yet cynical and sarcastic girlfriend, whose real name is Stephanie. She discovers Freakazoid's secret identity after Cosgrove accidentally reveals it in "Mission: Freakazoid". * '''Hans''' (voiced by [[Larry Cedar]]) β A mysterious European agent who takes Freakazoid to Professor Heiney's lab. * '''Professor Heiney''' (voiced by [[Ed Gilbert]]) β A scientist with a lab in the mountains, where he researches and kills monsters. * '''Ingmar''' β Freakazoid's mute butler, who built and maintains the Freakalair. In the episode "Mission: Freakazoid", Ingmar quits to become a [[rodeo clown]] and is replaced with Professor Jones. * '''Professor Jones''' (voiced by [[Jonathan Harris]]) β A snooty and cowardly man who is a parody of Dr. Zachary Smith, Jonathan Harris' character from ''[[Lost in Space]]''.
