Other Characters - Singletown Residents and MBC Allies

Hugo Smith


Mr Smith (as the kids and the residents often called him), is Cathy's grandfather and only relative who came with her on Earth to form a new Monster Buster Club. Unlike his granddaughter, Mr. Smith rarely uses any of his extraordinary powers. He doesn't assist the MBC much but he's the first person to call whenever the MBC needs his help for making Rhapsodian antidotes and other intergalactic herbal medicines. He has an easy-going and relaxed attitude. His hobbies are gardening, taking tea and playing cards with his exotic plants.

His alien form is similar to a mollusk. His body color is dark blue - green with four limbs. To find more about him, check out his information here.

John


John is Chris' younger brother and one of the few people who knows about the MBC. He's in charge in using the MBC clubhouse's technology whenever Chris is busy on the mission. John really wanted to join MBC but the four, especially Chris thinks he's too young. Sometimes, he impresses the MBC by helping defeat monsters or creating his own gadgets which makes them useful or backfire to MBC.

Wendy


Wendy is a pretty but snobbish girl and one of the popular students at the school. She makes fun of Danny, Sam, Cathy and Chris. She is Danny's crush but she doesn't really care about him. Sometimes, she uses Danny to do favors (while Danny impresses her just to be accepted). She also likes to gossip and tries to get the latest scoop.

Mark


Mark is the richest kid in Singletown and he's proud of it. He is Danny's main rival who makes challenges about different activities especially when it comes to school. Because Mark is rich, he uses his parent's money to take advantage succeeding or make friends. Sometimes, he tries to get close to the students who are popular or tough just to make sure that "he's in the crowd". He also has a crush on Wendy.

Jeremy Flablotnick


Jeremy is Chris' acquaintance in computer club and another classmate of MBC. His interests are gadgets, video games and comics. He is in love with Cathy, while she sees him as a friend only. He often bothers the MBC in the middle of the mission just to find Cathy.

Ralph Bernie and Roy


Ralph (red - haired kid) and Roy (purple haired, plump body) are friends who make trouble together in public places like in school and park. They like skateboarding and ride their electric scooters as well. They're also Mark's friends who assist bullying Danny. They're just another MBC's classmates.

Mr. Fusster


Mr. Fusster is Singletown Middle School Science teacher. He doesn't believe that aliens exist which is why Cathy argues with him. He has a white car and a skeleton model named Mr. Bones. What the MBC doesn't know, especially Cathy, that Mr. Fusster is aware that aliens do exist. He's the number one reason why Cathy gets in trouble at school.

Principal Rollins


Ms. Rollins is the Singletown Middle School principal who thinks the students are soldiers while the school is their military ground. She always add with the words like "Company halt!" and really strict with the students when it comes to rules. She's also one of the people who bothers the MBC's missions. She's a driver who owns a yellow car. It's unconfirmed whether Ms. Rollins got at least affection with any of her previous bachelors. There is only one person who gets her into soft spot - Mr. Smith.

Elton Smith


Elton is Cathy's Rhapsodian cousin and Mr. Smith's grandson. While Cathy is good using stretching abilities, Elton's specialty is mind-reading. He's able to read minds of humans and aliens. However, he likes to blurt something to embarrass someone or to amuse himself. The MBC gets annoyed at him whenever he does that. He's also a substitute member of MBC. His MBC suit is green.

At the back of his head, Elton has a green leaf sticking on it. According to Cathy, Elton's alien form is weird looking but he retorts that it is not. His detailed information can be found here.

Mr. Bitty


Mr. Bitty is a gruff person who is the store owner called "Happy Mart". He sells power tools (though Cathy says the MBC doesn't really need to buy his power tools, anyway), food, magazines and snacks. He gets angry whenever he finds out that the kids are making trouble or steal items in his shop.

Matisse


Matisse is the only dog of Wendy. He resembles a weird looking chihuahua with big ears, big head, and small body. Here's a trivia: Matisse is named after Henri Matisse, a French painter who revolutionized modern art in the 20th century along with Picasso and Duchamp.
