[edit] The Three Mascaritas

Characters are only listed once, normally under the first applicable subsection in the list. They are listed in order of their first appearance

• The Flea - The Flea is the 9-year-old opposite of Buena Girl. He avoids personal hygiene and usually has no problem with breaking the rules. His bedroom is "literally" a pig sty. He also almost always refers to himself in the third person (he has occasionally said "I" or "my" due to writer mistakes). The Flea's signature move is the trashcan of terror in which he turns into a trashcan. Most of his moves involve breaking wind (farting) or making everything messy. It was revealed in three episodes that The Flea's costume is actually white, but it turned brown because he never cleaned it (and in some cases, preferred it unclean). When he has baths, which is very rare (once every three months) and he has extreme fear of, his costume turns white if he uses soap. There was one episode where the Flea swallowed an apple and turned into his own opposite. His little sister Pulgita was able to beat him up, although this is only because she is able to beat anyone who comes across her. She still has a close bond with The Flea. He is normally the cause or victim of some of the strangest and supernatural events in the series such as an evil masked toilet and his unwashed hands causing an invasion of evil dough nuts. The Flea seems to be the strongest of the three if someone pays attention to his wrestling style. He is often mistaken for a very weak student, but if The Flea is actually brave enough, he is strong enough to beat even Ricochet. His teeth are a complete mystery. as they seemed to be very disgusting when they were first seen, but at the end of the episode, they were as clean as Ricochet's teeth. Sometimes when the Flea is in trouble or is being knocked a far distance he normally yells "zapatos de rata" which literally means "shoes of rat" or "rat shoes". He is voiced by Candi Milo

• Buena Girl - Among the Three Mascaritas, Buena Girl is the most knowledgeable 9-year-old on The Code of Masked Wrestling, which she uses as guidelines for the Mascaritas' actions and behavior. She is a stickler for the rules, which often causes friction between her and her friends. She brushes her teeth eight times a day (could be considered Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Her signature move is the "Buena Bulldozer Of Truth", where she transforms into a bulldozer. She claims to be a descendant of the Slamazons, an ancient tribe of female masked wrestlers (Play on the Amazons). Normally, Buena Girl remarks, "That's not right!" when something goes against the Code of Masked Wrestling or anything outside the rules. She also alternates the Spanish buena in place of its English counterpart, good in some sentences. Some fans believe she and Rikochet secretly have romantic feelings for each other. She is voiced Kimberly Brooks
• Richochet - Rikochet is an ambitious 10-year-old student at the school of Lucha Libre who wants to be the greatest luchador of all time. His signature moves are the "Pulverizing Pinball", in which he turns into a giant pinball following a brief and melodramatic routine, and the "Spinning Top" in which he transforms into a giant top. His greatest role model is "El Rey", and his father is the famous "Lone Star". Richochet, when faced with misfortune, usually remarks, "Ay basura," which can literally be translated as "Oh Crap". He was voiced by Carlos Alazraqui in speaking Seasons 1-2. He's voiced by Jason Marsden in Season 3+

[edit] Other students

• Megawatt - His mask is in the likeness of a lightbulb, and he can execute electric attacks. He seems to be the clumsiest wrestler. He is actually so clumsy that Snow Pea is able to lift him up.

• Penny Plutonium - The show's resident girl genius character. She often conducts science experiments that usually backfire. She has a secret crush on Rikochet. She seems to be accident prone and always gets others into predicaments. She doesn't have a signature move because she always changes her move all the time. She is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain.
• Potato Potata Jr. - A potato-themed masked wrestler, unlike his sister, Tomato Tamata. He is one of the heavy weight wrestlers. He also talks in ghetto slang. He was also in the trash talking competition and was beaten surprisingly by French Twist. He is the son of Potato Potata Sr. and one of Rikochet's known opponents who is voiced by Cusse Mankuma. According to the Cartoon Network website, his signature move is Spudnick, where he leaps up, becomes a potato/satellite and falls on his opponent. His real sister is a tomato-themed masked wrestler. His main wrestler is Rikochet. Voiced by Cusse Mankuma
• Francisco of the Forest - A jungle man/leopard outfit-like wrestler who is voiced by Scott McNeil. Like Potato Potata Jr., Francisco is also a heavyweight classed wrestler, but his weight comes more from his muscular build than girth.

• La Flamencita - She is a masked Flamenco dancer who communicates by clacking her castanets and tapping her feet. Rikochet had to learn how to dance with her after accidentally squishing her dance partner during a fight with French Twist. For a finish, she actually kissed Rikochet on his lips. She is the main wrestler of Buena Girl.
• French Twist - This student looks and acts like a mime, and as such, is mainly a non-speaking character. He actually became obsessed with speaking in the episode "French Twisted", but he quickly abandoned it because it hindered his progress. His powers are actually turning things he acts out into real things, similar to the Xiaolin Showdown villain, Le Mime. His speaking voice in that episode was done by Lee Tockar
• Cindy Slam - A violent little masked wrestler who hates just about everything and can get angry very easily. It is unknown exactly why she is so angry all the time. Most of her appearances in the first two seasons had her growling most of the time, but in season 3, she started talking regularly more often with a southern accent. Despite her southern accent, The first time she talked she had a Mexican accent. Her signature move, the Cindy Slammer, is to turn her hands into brick walls and crush her opponent.

He is voiced by Cusse Mankuma

They were very close friends but, somehow, broke up quickly. He is voiced by Brent Pachman
• Protozoa - A single-cell based wrestler who is talented at evaporation. His signature move is when he shrinks into a cell and kicks out organisms. He is voiced by Gary Chalk
• The "Bad Guy Class" students - First appeared in "Heart of Lucha" as a group of students taking bad guy lessons in Room 207. Afterwards, though, they seemingly started making appearances outside of their original classroom and didn't cause any real trouble, aside from some occasional bullying. Then, during season 2, they started acting less like bad guys and became friendly towards their fellow students, dropping the whole "bad guy" aspect.
  • Private Reinhardt - A military-themed mascarita who wears a gas mask.
  • El Oscuro Invasor - This one looks like Darth Vader, but has never really developed as he has never had his own episode like the others. His name is Spanish for "the dark invader".
  • Tibor the Terrible - A mascarita in a pirate costume (or, as the Flea once described him, "a pirate in a boy suit"). He seems to want to be a real pirate. He is voiced by Gary Chalk than Dee Bradley Baker
  • El Gundamo - His character is inspired by Japanese wrestler Jushin "Thunder" Liger. He aims to be the monster warden of Little Tokyo, and takes lessons from Kyoto (a sensei who resembles a pink bunny). He seems to have a fascination with robots. In one episode, he tricked The Flea and his group into thinking that he could slay giant monsters in Japan. But in truth, he was sort of a coward. El Gundamo's finisher is Tsunami Slam where he turns into a giant tsunami the same colors as his costume and rams himself into the opponent. He also has a giant crush of his famous grunge rock lead singer and a guitarist Prima Donna Hodges. His name is a parody of the Japanese anime series Mobile Suit Gundam. He is voiced by Lee Tockar
  • Coco Demento - A clown-based student who has been revealed to be the son of a ringmaster. He only seems to satisfy his audiences when performing funny stuff. It has also been revealed that he once hung out with a group of mischief-making clowns (which would probably explain why he was in the bad guys' class). Coco was sent to be a rodeo clown in one episode and gained new signature moves. One was Double Barrel where his fists turn into barrels. He then flies like Superman right into his opponent. He almost never speaks, preferring to make noises with his red nose.
• La Piñata- A girl whose costume resembles a piñata. Her costume covers almost her entire body, leaving only her eyes uncovered. Aptly, when she is beaten in a match, candy falls around her and she awards her opponents a prize. An example was when she gave Rikochet a mariachi band after being defeated. Her family has a tradition of making piñatas and in one episode she made a huge piñata with the whole school that became alive and caused trouble in the city but later it was defeated. She is mainly paired with Zero Kelvin. She is voiced by Kathleen Barr

• Tic-Tac-Toe - A wrestler whose moves are based on the Tic-Tac-Toe game. Voiced by Cusse Mankuma
• Double Ninja Ninja - A ninja-based masked wrestler. He seems to get carried away when performing a simple task such as opening a door. His signature move clones himself. Voiced by Colin Murdock
• El Pacifico - A character with a stick and peace symbol. In Spanish, "pacifico" is an adjective meaning "peaceful".
• Timmy of a Thousand Masks - First appeared in a self-titled episode, he has the ability to wear the masks of other luchadores and impersonate them (although he can't imitate their signature moves,and can only copy the masks; he stays the same height and wears the same black suit, and impersonates some voices poorly). There, he used this ability to cause crimes that were then pinned on Snow Pea, Minotoro, Snr. Hasbeena, and Buena Girl. Eventually, the Three Mascaritas and the Headmistress caught him, and he was expelled. However, he made a returning appearance in "The Match Before Christmas". He is voiced by Carlos Alazraqui and later by Matt Hill
• Electricity - Megawatt's real girlfriend. She was first seen in "Party Animal", but didn't have any real character development (or a name) until "The Collector". She often electrocutes herself from combing her hair repeatedly. She is voiced by Candi Milo

[edit] Family, pets, and paraphernalia

• Mr. & Mrs. Flea - The Flea's parents. They run Slammin' Donuts. They also always refer to themselves in the third person like the Flea. They are played by Colin Murdock and Kathleen Barr.
• Pulguita - The Flea's baby sister. She seems to be stronger than the Flea himself, although the Flea is never conscious when this is displayed. Her name means "Little Flea". Voiced by Candi Milo.
• Chinche - The Flea's evil cousin who wanted revenge on the Flea by stealing Rikochet and Buena Girl for revealing when he was young that he used diapers but eventually forgave him when the Flea apologized. His name is Spanish for "bedbug." Voiced by Nichole Oliver.
• Buena Dad and Buena Mom - Buena Girl's parents. They are both excessively cheery and shamelessly tout images of perfection.
• Lonestar and Mama Maniaca - Rikochet's parents. They first met when Rikochet's mother lost her Lucha Libre 4 Ever necklace and she bumped into him while trying to find it. Lonestar is a popular professional wrestler and one of his son's 2 idols next to El Rey. Lonestar is never seen at home due to his constant touring, although his relationship with his family remains strong. Lonestar's moves are based on stars, while Mama's moves are based on house hold things. Voiced by Benito Martinez and Candi Milo.
• Abuelito - Rikochet's grandfather. When he was a wrestler, he was called Estrella del Fuego (Star of Fire). He uses dentures because when he was younger he lost his teeth after fighting a mini-market wrestler and stealing his mask. It seems Ricochet's grandmother has died. He is voiced by Terry Klassen.
• Masked Dog - Rikochet's dog, who wears a mask like most of the characters in the series. He seems to have a mind of his own, and also seems to be immensely popular. Normally when all characters are forbidden of something they say "now one may pass, except of course Masked Dog, he's cool".
• El Rey - El Rey is an action figure who talks, has a life of his own and lives in Rikochet's backpack. He has the personality of a drill sergeant, harshly reprimanding Rikochet whenever the latter makes a mistake with his catch phrase, "YOU'RE A DISGRACE!", but he does not always behave honorably himself. He always call Rikochet Chico. There is also an actual (fictitious) wrestler named El Rey whom the Three Mascaritas are huge fans of, and whom the action figure is based on. The real El Rey is most likely modeled after real-life luchadore El Santo because he also starred in many old movies. He is voiced by Micheal Donovan.
• Among the pets of the Mascaritas' classmates and teachers that have been shown, Señor Hasbeena is shown with a snake (perhaps a nod to wrestler Jake "The Snake" Roberts), Abuelito was seen with a horse, Megawatt had an eel (apparently the same eel from the mascaritas' visit to the aquarium in Flea's Fighting Fish), and Protozoa was shown with something that needed to be seen in a microscope (perhaps a protist or other microorganism).
• The Dipper Bros. - Ricochet's inept uncles "Big" and "Little". Their motto is "Don't worry, will fix it". Strangely, they don't wear masks and aren't masked wrestlers like their family. "Big" is voiced by John DiMaggio, while "Little" is voiced by Phil LaMarr.

[edit] Faculty

• Headmistress - The evil principal of the school of lucha libre that the Mascaritas attend. Headmistress is extremely mean, strict and intolerant of any behavior that goes against the code of masked wrestling, often expelling students at the slightest infraction. Her mask resembles a giant brain. When she was unmasked in "Field of Screams", Headmistress has long red hair. She is voiced by Candi Milo.
• Señor Hasbeena - A teacher who has lots of nostalgia for the 1970s, resembling a disco nut. He used to be a professional wrestler, but lost his World Championship title in 1972 and never won it again, an incident that continues to haunt him for years. When Rikochet accidentally opens a time portal to the day of that fight in "Woulda, Coulda, Hasbeena", Señor Hasbeena tried to prevent the incident that resulted on his defeat, only to become the one who caused it in the very first place. His name is derived from the term "has-been". In Cartoon Network Latin America, his name is spelled "Señor Yashido", which is a pun on "Ya ha sido" (has already been). His signature move is the "Funkay DiscoBall". He is voiced by Scott McNeil.
• Mr. Midcarda - The physical education teacher who organizes lucha libre matches between students and acts as the referee. His name is derived from the professional wrestling term "midcarder", which refers to a wrestler who performs between the undercard and the main event. Unlike Rikochet, he is also voiced by Carlos Alazraqui and later voiced by Jason Marsden.

[edit] Hairy Knuckles Academy

The Hairy Knuckles Academy is technically the opposite of the Foremost World Renowned International School of Lucha. They are consisted of American (unmasked) Wrestlers and do not abide by the "Code of Masked Wrestling". But technically, the most known students are the three known as Prima Donna Hodges, Carlton Cold Jones, and Heavy Traffic.

• Prima Donna Hodges - The naughty little masculine-voiced leader of the group. She seems to be very muscular and aggressive. She also sounds a lot like a tough boy. Voiced by Kathleen Barr
• Carlton Cold Jones - He seems to be the distasteful cowboy-voiced brainless one of the group. In one episode, he faced off with Ricochet and tried to get a better arriving theme than him. Voiced by Lee Tockar.
• Heavy Traffic - He seems to be the monstrous growly-voiced aggressive one known to tear everything apart. There was one episode where Buena Girl refined him. He then turned into a suit wearing British gentlemen masked wrestler named Union Jack with moves like London Bridge and Rule Britannia. But he reverted back to his aggressive form because he missed his old group.Voiced by Scott McNeil.
• Ham Hands- He seems to be the big fat funny-voiced extra one of the group. Voiced by Michael Donovan.

[edit] One-shot characters

• Misterioso Grande - An evil wrestler from the dream world. Myth has it that if he defeats you and steals your mask in the dream world, its gone forever in the real one unless Misterioso Grande is defeated. In his debut episode he steals Penny Plutonium's mask resulting in her making a makeshift mask and missing several days of school. Rikochet, The Flea, and Buena Girl go to investigate and discover what happened. Rikochet agrees to enter the dream world to challenge Misterioso Grande for Penny's mask. They collide in an epic battle but Rikochet defeats him and all the masks he stole are returned to those he stole them from and he disappears seemingly never to be seen again. He returns for his revenge in "Field of Screams." where he escapes the dream world and steals nearly everyone at the school of lucha's masks. Rikochet, the Flea, and Buena Girl team up and once again defeat him this time for good. Misterioso Grande has immense powers in both worlds, a nod to Freddy Kruger from the Nightmare on Elm Street series.Also at the end of the debut episode Penny's dog wore Misterioso Grande's mask implicating that Penny's dog is Misterioso Grande. Voiced by Carlos Alazraqui, and John DiMaggio.
• Los Lobos de Lucha - They are the wrestling alter-egos of the band Los Lobos. Voiced by Los Lobos.
• Rick O'Shae - A leprechaun wrestler who resembles Rikochet. He cheats to win all of his matches, which is considered an honor amongst leprechauns. He became upset with Rikochet because Rikochet fought righteously to win his matches, which made Rick O'Shae a laughing stock among his peers. He sabotaged one of Rikochet's matches by tying his opponent's shoelaces together, and getting him blamed for hitting Mr. Midcarda with a mallet. He then confronted Rikochet on the street, which made everybody believe he was crazy, causing him to be committed to the "funny farm". Rick then brought Rikochet to leprechaun land and challenged him to a fight, which was broadcast to everybody who thought Rikochet was crazy. Rick O'Shae used multiple cheating methods to try and beat Rikochet, trying to get him to cheat as well. Rickochet eventually found out that fighting fair actually drives Rick O'Shae insane, and used that to that advantage. Rick O'Shae used multiple cheating tactics on him, that backfired. At the end, Rickochet tricked Rick into giving him the source of his power, and use it in a vending machine. Rikochet then beat Rikochet, earned the right to his name, and cleared it because the fight was broadcast to the whole world. Rick O'Shae uses to unlucky charms, a gold coin with a four-leaf clover on it, and a gold coin with an upside-down horseshoe on it, to gain the cheating abilities he uses to win fights. Voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
• El Malfico - A thousands of years old evil luchador who had been sealed up for 100,000 years. He escaped in "The Return of El Malfico" when the planets align and he controls The Flea into tricking Rikochet into reading a sentence from the Code Of Masked Wrestling backwards, thus freeing him. He then set out to defeat nearly every luchador and sealing them in the Code Of Masked Wrestling thus increasing his power. Rickochet, Buena Girl, and The Flea retrieve the Artifacts Of Buenaness; the Boots of Bravery, the Cape of Courage, and the Tights of Tightness. Using these they beat El Malfico. He then used the Code Of Masked Wrestling to grow to giant size. The Three Mascaritas do the same and defeat him in an epic battle that destroyed most of the city they fought in. He was defeated when Rikochet reversed one of El Malfico's attacks. He was banished back to were he came from. El Malfico is one of the most powerful villains in Mucha Lucha, if not the most powerful. His only real weakness is that he can be banished back but this can only happen if he is defeated which can only happen if one uses the Artifacts of Buenaness and the planets have not come out of alignment after which he becomes unstoppable. His true identity is Jenny Perkins. Voiced by Tim Curry.
• Calavera Muerto - A skeleton who appeared on El Día de los Muertos, and wrestled Rikochet. He used Rikochet-pinata kinds of moves. He was unbeatable until Buena Girl and the Flea put food into the game. He made a second appearance in a later episode. His name is Spanish for "skull." Voiced by Carlos Alazraqui in speaking vocals and Kimberly Brooks in singing vocals.
• Rey Dynamico - A celebrity luchador that resembles WWE wrestler, Rey Mysterio who appeared in "Party Animal" taking on a Clown-like luchador opponent. At least two episodes have hinted that Buena Girl has a crush on him. His signature move involves him launching himself off the ropes like a slingshot and was described by the heroes as "the most devastating move in masked wrestling." Voiced by Benito Martinez.
• Futbol Loco - An evil squeaky-voiced 6-year-old Mexican soccer player who first and only appeared in "Thrills And Skills". He challenges Rikochet in a soccer game. He now becomes a famous cabaret singer and a guitarist. Voiced by Candi Milo in speaking vocals and Gabe Khouth in singing vocals.
