characters from anime on this particular

Bob reboot set in the computer world of
mainframe reboot details The Adventures
of the simply named Bob together with
his friends dot matrix and Enzo he’s
tasked with protecting mainframe from
evils such as megabyte and hexadecimal
no Bob must be go to all these dramatics
again if necessary reboot is an
imaginative adventure series that
featured impressive computer-generated
animation and tons of pop-culture
references and bob was a great role
model often looking for nonviolent
solutions and believing that even
computer viruses deserved a chance to
reform a badass when needed he could
also be laid-back and casual
that’s the virus talking you got to keep
fighting it for someone charged with
stomping out viruses he was really kind
of complex number eight KITT cloud
kicker tailspin tailspin took the jungle
books Baloo the bear and made him an air
cargo deliverer because why not he was
aided by a 12 year old bear cub named
KITT cloud kicker who in some ways was a
typical Disney kid hero undeniably cute
with plenty of spunk but KITT came from
a darker place than many other Disney
kids having previously been part of an
air pirate gang though good at heart he
kept vestiges of his air pirate days
with him most particularly he could be
self-centered on occasion and
mule-headed in his distrust of others
especially adults but he was undeniably
heroic and had an N viewable skill at
navigator to pilot Cape Suzette straight
ahead
number seven Blossom Bubbles and
Buttercup The Powerpuff Girls Girl Power
got a big boost from this
tongue-in-cheek satirical look at
superheroing bursting into being when
the professor combines sugar spice and
everything nice with a little Chemical X
the Powerpuff Girls were kindergarten
aged tykes with amazing powers blossom
was the leader
thanks to her brains and her tendency to
think clearly in tough situations
bubbles the most childlike of the three
is the sweetest but that doesn’t keep
her from kicking butt and Buttercup with
a little chip on her shoulder
is ready to scrap at the drop of a hat
they fight among themselves sometimes
but always come together in the end
number 6 Optimus Primal beast wars
transformers encompassing both the
future and the past of the Transformers
Universe the Beast Wars series featured
characters descended from the original
gang but living in prehistoric times
it’s complicated
[Music]
Optimus Primal is the leader of the good
maximals boring conflicts with the bad
[Music]
a robot who can take on a gorilla like
form Optimus Primal is a peace-loving
and honorable being who nevertheless is
a fierce fighter he displays complete
loyalty to his friends and would
willingly sacrifice himself if necessary
Optimus Primal also understands that
sometimes a person has to think outside
the box and take chances making him an
invaluable leader so for now let the
battle be here on this strange primitive
world and let it be called big boy and
his entire team is pretty impressive as
well number five
Wolverine x-men speaking of impressive
teams the x-men were huge in comics
throughout the 90s thanks in large part
to Wolverine and scrappy intensity never
went to shy away from a fight Wolverine
sometimes seemed to relish the
opportunity to bring out his claws and
get slashing but as hot-headed as he
could be and as intimidating as his
powers made him Logan struck other cords
and viewers
[Music]
they filled the pain that made him act
like a loner and loved his willingness
to speak his mind Cyclops is waiting for
me and his willingness to sacrifice his
feelings for gene only endeared him to
viewers even more number four
Darkwing Duck darkwing duck when there’s
a plethora of superheroes running around
someone needs to come along and poke a
little fun at them in the early 90s that
someone was darkwing duck another order
of destard lis delinquents deposited on
your doorstep
courtesy of darkwing duck that’s two
words not three both these capitalized
here’s my photo on the surface he was a
mild-mannered suburban dad but
underneath he was an attention-seeking
costumed hero who took bumbling to new
heights though genuinely courageous and
sincere in his desire to do good he also
boasted a super-ego that kept
undermining his best efforts picture
though you don’t think it looks
pretentious to him at times his worst
enemy wasn’t a nefarious supervillain
but his own arrogance many of us laughed
at his foibles
but recognized a little of ourselves in
number three Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic
the Hedgehog the immensely popular video
game character made a smooth transition
to cartoons to the delight of his legion
of fans set on a planet of
anthropomorphic creatures the series
detailed the efforts of a small band of
freedom fighters to defeat the evil dr.
Robotnik let’s juice Sonic was the
leader of course thanks to his
SuperSpeed and his access to a set of
power rings but Sonic is more than just
the sum of his powers he has the steely
defiance which means he will never give
up without achieving his goal and he’s a
clever strategist as well loyalty is
crucial to Sonic so the freedom fighters
know he always has their back well
[Music]
number 2 spider-man spider-man your
friendly neighborhood spider-man had
been on the small screen before but he
came to life as never before in this 90s
reboot great there goes my thousand
dollar photo what am I gonna get the
hang being a superhero for the same
featuring a college-aged web slinger
spider-man benefited from cool animation
and a superb cast of both friends and
villains these helped frame the title
character who managed to act as if you
were a light-hearted carefree
wisecracker even when things got dire
dynamos make electricity by spinning a
coin in the polls by their a magnet for
stuck on that dynamos magnet bring
viewers also reacted to his ultra eco
Peter Parker meeting the challenges of
college his photography career and his
love life in ways that we could all
relate to before we unveil our top pick

[Music]
number one batman batman the animated
series batman the animated series is
justly hailed for the sleek neo art deco
design and it’s impressive animation but
it wouldn’t be the landmark it is
without fine writing and without its
captivating central character I am NOT a
I am the night brooding intimidating
downright scary yeah
Batman is all those things and has any
voice actor better captured the Dark
Knight than Kevin Conroy no and I
suspect that’s the reason for the
cover-up but the series also offered a
different take on Bruce Wayne
downplaying his carefree playboy routine
this bruise is a commanding leader of
industry so that’s it
strangers and planning to blackmail me
he’s going to auction my tape this
assertive Bruce seems more at one with
Batman and his single-minded need to
