Robbie Shipton

Robbie leads a double life: he's a hero to the universe, and a smart "normal" teenager on Earth. At school in Nebraska he wins the science fair, and allows himself to be thrown out at dodgeball (to maintain his cover). Robbie has found his true calling with Team Quantum - brave, quick, and clever, he can quickly adapt to the weird and unusual world of life beyond Earth. Within the team he is the "reality anchor" for the over-zealous team leader, Quantum Ray. But no matter how many times Robbie saves the universe, or tells of his exploits - nobody on Earth believes him. To his schoolmates, he is Robbie Shipton the "normal guy" who gets locked in his locker by Scott Stotz the school bully (Robbie doesn't really mind this as his locker has been converted into a high-tech, futuristic inner sanctum). NOBODY on Earth believes Robbie is a galactic hero. He is very upfront about his exploits - KNOWING that no one will believe him and will assume his stories are "Shipton being weird again." He is very close to Allison at school, but always claims to everyone: "She's NOT my girlfriend." Forget it - she's his girlfriend, he just won't admit it. When Robbie goes to work he hits a button on his belt and his street clothes and backpack changes into his Natural Law uniform and jetpack. Robbie's glasses were designed by the team's scientist, Bucketworth: they can "see" invisible rays, look into the sub-atomic universe, or send out red laser beams to "target" something for Ray.

Quantum Ray

Nine-dimensional man. Brave and courageous to a fault... unless there's a wormhole involved (he hates traveling through wormholes!). Not all of Ray's body can be seen - his elbows, knees and midriff are all in "higher" dimensions (we can't see them, but Ray can). Since his joints are in another dimension it appears to us that Ray's arms and legs can be "launched" and, sometimes, accidentally fall off. Ray and Robbie are very good friends; Ray affectionately calls Robbie his "faithful human sidekick." Ray's superpower is his ability to control and change his atoms into any inorganic material: he can turn to titanium, diamond, rubber - anything he needs to get the "hero job" done. In addition to the control of his atoms, he has super-strength, and can fly. Ray's mind, like his joints, is in several higher dimensions - so sometimes he comes off as a bit "flakey" or "weird" - but he's just thinking "differently" than we 3-dimensional creatures. Ray is the official leader of Team Quantum, and is very territorial. The "know-it-all" Bucketworth sometimes gets up his nose because... well... because he KNOWS it all! Ray has two catch-phrases: "Stop in the name of Natural Law!" and "I'm here and I'm quantum!"

Atee & Geecey

Twin teenage girls from the Tooferwun Galaxy - where everyone is a twin (therefore they count as one member of the team). It's very easy to tell them apart: Atee is sweet-tempered, and Geecey is "punk-ish." Both girls like Robbie… especially his hair - it's fascinating to them because Earth guys are the only guys in the cosmos who have hair. Atee and Geecey are the lead-footed pilots of the Quantum… the official spacecraft of Team Quantum. They know only two speeds: fast and faster! Their combined catch-phrase is: "PUNCH IT!" It's worth noting that whenever the girls "PUNCH IT!" they are most often the only ones in the Quantum seated and wearing a seatbelt - everyone else gets zipped to the back of the ship. The girls have a superpower that only works when they combine their bodies together to form "Double Helix" - a large band of superstrong, super-elastic DNA that can catch, launch or catapult villain, dangerous objects (out of control meteorites) - or Ray and Robbie. Their one weakness is separation. They are "connected" on a quantum level… should they be separated they would be powerless. And if they are separated for a very long period of time… they could cease to exist as we know them (but being quantum, we're not quite sure what they would become). The girls special "job" on the Quantum is to wrestle and wrap up Ray whenever they have to go into a wormhole. Their special "game" is to give Bucketworth lots of teenage attitude.

Bucketworth

James Bond has his Q, Batman has Alfred, and Team Quantum has Bucketworth. Bucketworth (very much the "proper English gentleman") is the brilliant inventor of all the super-scientific devices the team uses in its mission to protect the universe. Bucketworth is the oldest member of the team (robots don't retire, they just get upgrades). As such, he demands respect. He almost never gets it. Ray won't listen to him and Atee and Geecey think he's boring. Bucketworth likes Robbie - the kid was raised with good Nebraska manners and gives the robot respect. Therefore, when Bucketworth needs to explain how something works, he tells Robbie. Bucketworth has no superpowers beyond his superbrain and solid steel body. Bucketworth has a "pocket" on his front - it opens like a hopper and contains a plethora of super-scientific (weird) devices... many of which appear to be much larger than Bucketworth himself. Bucketworth always addresses Ray as "Raymond," Robbie as "Robert," and Atee and Geecey as "Young ladies."

Allison

Robbie's best friend at school, and every bit his intellectual equal. She's in no way an aspiring cheerleader, but is definitely a proudly-militant vegan and "animal rights" advocate (she once freed the school's mascot back to the forest - unfortunately the school mascot is fellow student Chip Monahan in a squirrel costume). If Robbie were Superman, Allison would be his "Lois Lane" - and more! She is a magnet for other-worldly villains and catastrophes that make their way to Earth. When this happens, Robbie must save her - or he must enlist her help as an adjunct member of Team Quantum. But when it's over, Allison never remembers the adventure, for her memory is always "wiped" by Bucketworth. Robbie always tells the truth about what they've been doing - saving the universe. Allison never believes him - she thinks he's just telling her a "stupid joke."
