Teamo Supremo is an American animated television series created by Phil Walsh. Animated in the limited animation style pioneered by Jay Ward and his predecessors who inspired his style, it tells of three superhero children: Captain Crandall, Skate Lad, and Rope Girl.
The series made its broadcast premiere for ABC's Disney's One Saturday Morning block on January 19, 2002, where most 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 2003, about half of its second season premiered on what had been by then rebranded as ABC Kids. On September 13, 2003, it was taken off ABC Kids, leaving the rest of the episodes to premiere on Disney Channel's all-animated, digital cable spinoff Toon Disney (now Disney XD), ending its run by 2004. 39 episodes were made, with 76 total stories (all but two episodes had two 11-minute-long stories slotted in their 22-minute time slot). In Canada, it aired on Family Channel and in Europe, it also aired different non-cable networks along Disney-branded networks.
Plot Three gradeschool-aged superhero children Captain Crandall, Skate Lad, and Rope Girl (dubbed "Teamo Supremo") protect their state from several villainous, bad people when called in by Governor Kevin. They take on bad people such as Baron Blitz, Madame Snake, Laser Pirate, Helius Inflato, Dehydro, Mr. Large, and other bad people while also occasionally interacting with the other local superheroes.
Characters Teamo Supremo These are the three main characters of the show. None of them are an only child.
Crandall / Captain Crandall (voiced by Spencer Breslin) is the founder and bespectacled leader of Teamo Supremo, who believes that he is an alien superhero from another planet. He is often addressed as "Cap" by his teammates, and his battle catchphrase is "Buh-Za!" In later episodes, Crandall's seemingly imaginary superpowers and backstory seem to actually become canon. In the last episode of the show, he experiences a sudden burst of superhuman strength and defense. Also, his skin turns purple when he gets very angry. His gadgets include a special Level 7 belt, as well as a yo-yo, marbles, a boomerang, and a shield. Hector Felipé Corrio / Skate Lad (voiced by Alanna Ubach) is the Latino member of Teamo Supremo, and the state's skateboarding champion. His main gadget is a patriotic-themed jet-propelled skateboard and his catchphrase is "Chi-Ka!" Brenda / Rope Girl (voiced by Alanna Ubach) is the only female member of Teamo Supremo, she has purple pixie cut and a bucktooth and speaks with a Western drawl. Her catchphrase is "Wuh-Pa!", and her gadget is a jump rope, which she uses as a lasso when battling villains, but can also be used to transform herself, Crandall, and Hector into their heroic alter-egos when all three jump rope together.
Allies Governor G. Kevin (voiced by Martin Mull) is the hip, vibrant governor of the unnamed state. He always calls for the title team when necessary and he sometimes has to lend excuse notes if the crime makes Teamo Supremo late for class (or if it means they miss class for the rest of the day). Chief Epsilon (voiced by Brian Doyle-Murray) is the chief of police who does not take kindly to Teamo Supremo taking police matters into their own hands, but in time starts working along with them regardless of the title team being kids. He once tried to operate as a costumed superhero himself, using the codename 'Lawman', but made a mix of it since his 'gadgets' consisted of an umbrella and an egg whisk. When arresting villains, the Chief would use some witty remarks about them being taken to prison. The Chief also suffers from Beat Deafness. Mrs. Crandall (voiced by Julia Sweeney) is Crandall's human mother. He refers to her as "Earth Mom" since he thinks he is an alien. She is fully oblivious to the fact that Crandall and his friends are superheroes (or so it may seem). Jean Crandall (voiced by Rachel Crane) is Crandall's older human sister who is aware of his superhero career. She often gives the team advice, claiming it is necessary if she "wants to be a [career] some day". Mr. Paulson (voiced by Fred Willard) is the eccentric director of Level 7, a top-secret facility that makes the title team's gadgets. Samantha (voiced by Kim Gillingham) is Paulson's lab assistant. Mrs. Woolingantz (voiced by Sydney Walsh) is the Teamo Supremo's teacher who often excuses them if Governor Kevin needs them. She does not assign much homework, but gets angry when it is undone. Action (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) is Crandall's pet dog. He is sometimes called to help the title team in certain missions like Krypto and Ace the Bat-Hound. Mrs. Corrio is Hector's mother. The Twins are Hector's unnamed twin sisters, who often speak gibberish in unison. Brenda's Mother is Brenda's mother, from whom she seems to get her Southern accent. Barclae / Diaper Dude is Brenda's infant brother, who once helped Teamo Supremo in one of their adventures. His first spoken word was "Brenda". Teamo Supremo's Fathers are the title team's respective fathers, but is unknown much about them as they've only been seen in one episode. Crandall's father seems to read the newspaper a lot and Hector's father runs a skateboard shop. Patience (voiced by Vene L. Arcoraci) is the Chief's daughter. She has her mother's figure and her father's spoken accent. Mauricio (voiced by Phil Morris) is a Black comedian. He has at least twice been the target of villains seeking revenge on him. Tiffany Javelins / Songstress / Sally Smith (voiced by Lisa Loeb) is a teen pop music singer whom Brenda idolizes. Originally worked for the Mischievous Manager, but turned good after serving time causing the Mischievous Manager and Dr. Droid to hold her captive and make android duplicates of her. She was rescued by Teamo Supremo. Ironically, Toon Disney's official site for the show still labelled her as a villain. She is the spoof of real-world popstars such as Mandy Moore and others. B. Barry Berylium (voiced by Jack Larson) is the editor-in-chief of the state's newspaper, The Stately Planet. He prefers being addressed as "Chief" over "Sir". Ollie Jimson (voiced by Jason Marsden) is a rookie news journalist who works for Mr. Berylium, who finds it annoying that Ollie never calls him "Chief". His name is a nod to Jimmy Olsen. Viva Voom is Governor Kevin's Dutch exchange girlfriend from high school. She is now a famous actress, but still has her relationship with Kevin. A fellow member of the school faculty is usually the one to tell Mrs. Woolingantz that Governor Kevin needs the title team's help. Her name was never revealed in the series, nor did she ever actually have dialogue (she always whispers to the teacher). Newscaster (voiced by Jeff Bennett) is the state's unnamed newsman who always pops up on TV to deliver news. His name was never revealed.
Superheroes There are other superheroes that help keep the state safe from crime:

The Silver Shield / Gordon (voiced by Robert Stack) is Crandall's grandfather who has had a Captain America-like superhero identity and fought crime during World War II. His battle cry is "Let freedom ring". His known rogues' gallery has included Purple Menace, Tommy Traitor, and Comrade Z.

Chopper Daddy (voiced by Jess Harnell) is a motorcycle-themed villain. Scooter Lad, also known as Snake, also known as Justin, (voiced by Pamela Adlon), is Chopper Daddy's son who rides a scooter. He has tricked Teamo twice into believing they could trust him and his battle catchphrase is "Hoo-Ka!" Madame Snake (voiced by Sydney Walsh) is a femme fatale with snake-like features the ability to change her appearance, as well as an outrageously bad fashion sense. Toy Boys are Madame Snake's henchmen. B.B. the Clown / The Birthday Bandit (voiced by Mark Hamill) is a birthday clown gone bad who often robs birthday parties and other special occasions. Due to love themes, he briefly changed his name to the Valentine Bandit when he kidnapped Viva Voom. The Party Favors are similarly-dressed henchmen of Birthday Bandit. One Party Favor is named Evelyn. Lary / Laser Pirate (voiced by Tim Curry in most appearances, Jeff Bennett in "In the Beginning...") is a former colleague of Paulson. He is the only pirate that does not like water due to a college incident that ruined his invention. His hideout is a skyscraper that flies around (a possible homage to Monty Python's The Meaning of Life). Mauve-Beard is one of Laser Pirate's henchmen. Chartruese-Beard is one of Laser Pirate's henchmen. Indigo-Beard is one of Laser Pirate's henchmen. Helius Inflato (voiced by Joel Murray) is a man who can inflate himself and fly, hence his name. He wants to build a casino in the state, but is not allowed to. Dehydro (voiced by Diedrich Bader) is a ex-cruise director/diving instructor who gave up his gig and became a water-themed villain and speaks with a London accent. Dehydro claims that humanity's true destiny lies beneath the waves. Dehydro often talks in a redundant manner and overemphasizes nearly everything he says. Amphibious Army are the minions of Dehydro. Mr. Large (voiced by Edward Asner) is a crime boss who liked all of the large items. Ernie the Hat (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) is one of Mr. Large's henchmen who wears a fedora.

Rosie the Purse (voiced by Sydney Walsh) is one of Mr. Large's henchmen who is always carrying a purse. Mr. Vague (voiced by Gary Cole) is a rather dull villainous man with grey skin. He is not specific with what he wants to steal. Crawford / The Gauntlet (voiced by Wallace Shawn) is formerly one of Paulson's co-workers infatuated with power. He continually wreaks havoc with a pair of powerful Gauntlets he is always able to steal. Hypnotheria (voiced by April Winchell) is a hypnosis-themed villain who thinks of herself as regality and speaks of herself in the second person. Polly Pixel / Electronica (voiced by Kerri Kenney) is an ex-video game designer who was furious over the fact that players constantly beat her games using cheat codes.
