Characters

Heroes

• Derek Dynamo (voiced by Valin Shinyei) – The fun-loving, highly intelligent and energetic son of Dr. Dexter Dynamo. Alongside his father and best friend Super Dinosaur, Derek works for Earthcore, protecting the planet from various hazards. He rides around on Wheels, a robot he built.
• Super Dinosaur (voiced by Deven Mack) – A genetically-altered Tyrannosaurus rex created by Max Maximus, Super Dinosaur lives with the Dynamo family in the Dynamo Dome and is the best friend of Derek, who often refers to him as "SD". He is a vegetarian, and he loves to play video games and ride skateboards. In battle, he uses an interchangeable harness with robotic arms. He accidentally adopted a penguin as a pet on a mission.
• Dr. Dexter Dynamo (voiced by Alessandro Juliani) – Derek's father, a genius who helps create the gear his son and Super Dinosaur use on their missions. His cognitive abilities are diminished after Max Maximus poisons him with a mind-decaying virus though this was later reversed by an invention of Dr. Dynamo's old friend Dr. Oliver Manchester in the season 1 finale.
• The Kingstons – A family of mechanics sent to live in the Dynamo Dome by General Casey; responsible for building and repairing Derek and Super Dinosaur's combat equipment
  • Bruce Kingston (voiced by Brian Dobson) – The husband of Sarah, and father of Erin and Erica
  • Sarah Kingston (voiced by Kathleen Barr) – The wife of Bruce, and mother of Erin and Erica
  • Erin Kingston (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent) – A charismatic and curious girl who makes quick friends with Derek upon the Kingston's arrival to the Dynamo Dome. She is fascinated by all the amazing technology created by Doctor Dynamo and Derek and responds to her family's move much more positively than her sister. Derek builds her Pixie, a robot similar to Wheels and joins Earthcore's cadet program.
  • Erica Kingston (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent) – Annoyed about moving from Washington D.C., she is initially far less receptive to the Dynamos than her sister. She has a pet spider named Sherman. Unlike her sister, Erica cares little about Earthcore and is more drawn to the arts.
• General Casey (voiced by Dean Redman) – The Earthcore military administrator to the Dynamos and their super-heroic activities; oversees the majority of their funding, deployment into combat situations, and imprisonment of defeated super-villains at Earthcore Headquarters.
  • Elliot Casey (voiced by Tevon Herbert) – General Casey's son, who is around Derek's age; he is shown to be impulsive and pulls a dangerous prank on the Dynamo Dome to get his father's attention. He uses multiple aliases throughout the series (one of them being Battle Shock which includes using a giant mech) and eventually is allowed to join the Earthcore cadet training program. He later helps capture Terropterx, although he ends up being captured by him and partially transformed into a Dino-Men.

Villains

• Max Maximus (voiced by Marco Soriano) – An evil scientist who created Dynore, an incredibly powerful energy source. He seeks to destroy the Dynamos and take control of the world. He commands an army of genetically-engineered Dino-Men from his lair, Castle Maximus.
  • Minimus (voiced by Sean Thomas) – The artificial "son" of Maximus who was created via cloning, and initially pretended to be friendly to gain Derek's Trust under the alias of Tom Tillred. He became leader of the Dino-Men upon his "father's" incarceration, and later wrests control of the Sharkmen from Squidious. However close to the season 1 finale when Max Maximus returns to power he is transformed into a half human half dinosaur form named Tyrannosaurus X (voiced by Andrew Francis).
• Dino-Men (voiced by various) – Maximus' army of genetically-engineered human/dinosaur hybrids. While most are little more than subservient, dimwitted henchmen, there are a few who are highly intelligent, as detailed below.
  • Tricerachops (voiced by Kathleen Barr) – A female Triceratops who wields a battle-axe. She is Maximus' most favored servant and is shown to be more empathetic than other Dino-Men. After her morals are tested, she defects from Maximus' army and forms the Dino Liberation Front.
  • Dreadasaurus (voiced by Chris Nielsen) – A Stegosaurus with a shield that shoots spikes. Like Tricerachops, he defected from Maximus' army, and now serves under her in the Dino Liberation Front.
  • Terroropterx (voiced by Bart Batchelor) – A pterodactyl with shoulder-mounted weaponry and dual sabers. Like Tricerachops, he defected from Maximus' army, and now serves under her in the Dino Liberation Front. He attempted to get some mutated dinosaur DNA to create a new Dino-Men army but was captured by Earth Core. Although he later breaks out and takes Eliot Casey hostage
  • Doometrodon (voiced by Brian Drummond) – A Dimetrodon with a cybernetic right arm that can be used as a morning star as well as a blaster. Like Tricerachops, he defected from Maximus' army, and now serves under her in the Dino Liberation Front.
• Squidious (voiced by Brian Drummond) – A super-intelligent giant squid who is angered at humans' use of the sea's resources. He leads an army of Sharkmen to do his bidding to protect their underwater domain with his mobile base, a megalodon known as the Lair Leviathan. He later on becomes an ally to the heroes.
• KAL (voiced by Vincent Tong) – An Earthcore robot meant to assist Derek and Super Dinosaur on their missions. He views himself as a rival to Super Dinosaur for the status of Derek's best friend, often berating the rex by calling him "Average Dinosaur". On their first mission together, KAL becomes engulfed in lava, transforming him into the villainous Erupticus.
• Megaraptor – Maximus most powerful creation. A giant raptor with a giant fin-like blade on top of its head and a fish-like tail.

Derek and Super Dinosaur are sent on a mission to stop an Earthcore ship from being attacked by Dino-Men. They're easily defeated by the duo, allowing Derek to take a gun he believes to be the weapon Maximus was talking about. They only find one person on the Earthcore ship: a boy named Tom, who claims his mother was a scientist who vanished alongside the rest of the crew. Tom is brought back to the Earthcore base, where he is able to goad Derek into allowing him to visit the impound room where they store the weapons they've confiscated from Maximus. There, Tom reveals himself to in fact be Maximus' son created by cloning his DNA, Minimus, after grabbing his father's arm.

Erin completes the Earthcore cadet training program with a record setting run, upsetting Derek as he set the prior record. To clear the air and test out some new items created by the Kingstons (including a vehicular upgrade for Wheels), Erin and Derek take on another training program. Instead, they bicker some more. After being startled by Squidious, Erin checks in on her sister, who gets annoyed by Erin's critique of her Floor Door abilities. While doing her daily look out, Erin spots seismic activity and a Dynore deposit in New Mexico. With the adults asleep, she tries to alert Derek and Super Dinosaur, but Derek shrugs her off, feeling that if it was important General Casey would've called them. Erin decides to go on the mission with Pixie, where they're immediately attacked by a giant mutated centipede. She notices that it's following sound and is able to incapacitate it. At the Dynamo Dome, Erica tries to apologize for earlier but finds out that her sister is gone. She wakes up Derek and Super Dinosaur and they transport to the location. In typical fashion, they come in loud, causing more centipedes to wake up and attack. After initially struggling to work as a team, the three are able to defeat the centipedes. Derek puts Erin in charge of the rest of the mission, who spots a giant Dynore stash somewhere. The trio head to a spot in the desert just as it breaks open, revealing a mutated scorpion named Scorpinox. The monster devours Dynore and is the cause for the mutated centipedes. Erin panics, but Derek is there to tell Super Dinosaur to destroy his Dynore collection. Erica calls in, telling Super Dinosaur and Derek about a new combination ability that their parents built into Wheels. They're able to get Scorpinox to fall into a pit, where he passes out. Derek says he expects them to go back to normal after losing their Dynore exposure, but says they should tell Earthcore anyway. Back at the Dynamo Dome, Erica and Derek apologize to Erin, and Derek accepts responsibility for letting Erin go on the mission alone.
