Alex

An innocent bystander that just happens to live in the same apartment complex of J.D. and Wally.

Carebear

A costumed 80's toy addict that believes he/she is a living and breathing Care Bear straight out of Care-A-Lot. She likes to give unsuspecting victims a “Care Bear Stare” that is full of good intentions, love, and eternal happiness. In reality, this wacko just freaks everyone out.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #18

Dekker

Works the counter for the local comic shop "Fly on the Wall Comics." Dekker has been friends with Wally for over 10 years and they bonded over an issue of Hellboy. A loner who is a little "off" due to his militant love for blood, guts, and horror. He is also up on all Internet geek news due to the fact that he is on EBay everyday and writing hate e-mails to studios for re-making his favorite horror movies. Recently, Dekker stole Jake B. Piscano's reality hopping razor for fun but now finds himself trapped in a parallel universe that he's trying to find his way out of.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #13,14,23,24

El Diablo

El Diablo was a famous Luchador wrestler until he died in the squared circle. Now he is banished to J.D.'s brain where he influences his every move usually in an evil way. It was recently revealed in the alternate universe that El Diablo is a kid's show host with the puppet Greengo.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #12 & Hero Envy Comic book mini-series.

Greengo

In an alternate universe this talking puppet with a sense of humor and an attitude, is the host of the "El Diablo and Greengo: Supa Dupa Fun Time Power Hour Show!" With El Diablo as his sidekick there is no telling what kind of mayhem they'll get into. This show is a staple in the house of J.D. and the Toy Dealer.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #24, - Swass Adventures #25

J.D. Fields

The rambunctious and raging hormone who sometimes doesn't know if he's 3 or 30 (and this usually happens at the expense of others)! Cares little for time, law and order, for those things mean nothing in "J.D. World." Even though he's loath to admit it, J.D. needs his best friend Wally and this sometimes comes at a huge price. An incorrigible rebel that lives for babes, beers, cartoons, and chaos, and not necessarily in that order. In the alternate dimension J.D. lives with The Toy Dealer and seems to tolerate Dekker a little more than usual (even asking him to become a roommate). This J.D. also likes to change his hats depending on the situations.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #6,12,15 Christmas Annual 2007

Jake B. Piscano

If there was ever a villain that even Dr. Doom himself would be scared of it would be Jake B. Piscano! A megalomaniac mad genius that wants to steal Brooke from Wally and possibly conquer the entire world while he's at it. J.B. (as he likes to be called) has known J.D. since their college days while living on Yancy Street and made a habit of making life miserable for Wally and sleeping with Brooke behind his back. He returned years later and moved into the same apartment complex as Wally and J.D. to conspire against them to further his own diabolical plans. A master inventor, J.B. designed an ion powered razor that opens up alternate dimensions to get rid of Wally and anyone else that stands in his way (it was later stolen by Dekker). He lives to rule all!! In an alternate universe Dekker meets a J.B. that is a nice guy that loves to help people out and give hugs.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #19,22,23, - Swass Adventures #25

The boys from Newburyport, MA that go around asking questions while looking for spiritual enlightenment or just an orange rubber ball. They have some witty banter and dashing good looks but do even they know what Joppa is?

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #12

Lopan

At one time Lopan was the total master of all video games and able to crush anyone foolish enough to oppose him. Eventually he suffered a brutal defeat from his childhood rival Wally in a video game contest. Rather than cut off his hand and die an honorable death, Lopan joined the dark forces of Jake B. Piscano and has sworn to get revenge on Wally.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #9,23

MJ

The incredibly hot and sexy love interest of the alternate universe J.D., not much is known about MJ at this time.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #24

Mirror Universe Dekker

This dim-witted version of Dekker is a sports nut and best friends with the Mirror Universe Wally. Like any mindless townie sports fanatic, he loves his boobs, beers and buffalo wings during the game and is very obnoxious when he doesn't get it.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #21,23

Mirror Universe J.D.

This version of J.D. is a nerd/genius/loser that has no social skills and no guts. A coward that does whatever the Mirror Universe Wally, Dekker and Orson tell him to do, including paying the rent, cleaning the house, rotating the tires on their cars and being the brunt of all their brutal hazing. The Mirror Universe Wally has the most hatred for this J.D. because he dropped the pass Wally threw at him causing their team to lose the high school football championship years ago.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #21

Mirror Universe Orson

This version of Orson is a sports nut and ready to scrap with anyone who doesn't give props to his favorite teams. A yearly winner in the fantasy baseball league that has his buddies the Mirror Universe Wally and Dekker scratching their heads and conspiring to defeat him.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #21

Mirror Universe Wally

Leader of the Mirror Universe gang. This version of Wally is ruthless and mean to his “nagging” girlfriend Brooke and the Mirror Universe J.D. A former high school football quarterback star, Wally lives the townie dream that he is still the greatest athlete to never win a championship while slurping beers, watching games and talking about the past.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #21,23

Noonan

The close friend and right hand man of the dreaded Jake B. Piscano. Even though Noonan questions the morals and actions of his diabolical friend, he just doesn't seem to get how evil Jake truly is and continues to do his bidding. Noonan also owns a nice pad called “The Thunder Dome” where the boys can relax, hang out, drink, play video games and become cannon fodder for Jake's next master plans.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #19,22,23

Nutshot

An 80's G.I. Joe toy addict that has gone well past the realm of reality. He thinks he's a living and breathing G.I. Joe solider trained for war. Nutshot fights a never ending battle to end the COBRA menace to save the world. The problem is everyone seems to be a COBRA agent with an agenda, so no one is safe from his “Yo Joe!”(hitting some unsuspecting victim in the “nuts”) especially his buddy Proinsias. If knowing is half the battle, then Nutshot doesn't know shit.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #18,23

Orson H. Cochrane

The lovable, somewhat-robotic science fiction companion to Wally. Orson still lives at home with his mother (but he would contend it's the bridge of the USS Enterprise). Wally and Orson met in line waiting for “Return of the Jedi" tickets 20 years ago (oddly enough he still hasn't stopped complaining about the Ewoks). His extensive robotic Sci-fi techno babble can drive even the most balanced jedi to the Dark Side. Orson's relationship with J.D. is a bit shaky due to the fact that J.D. is very territorial when it comes to all things Wally.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #5,10,11,22

Proinsias

A messed up geek with a good heart. Proinsias doesn't know if he wants to be a boy, a girl, a superhero or a super villain. He has been seen dressed up as an overweight He-man fanboy as well as a security guard for the Smoke among countless other identities. Whether in this universe or any other you never know what Proinsias will show up as. He also seems to be good friends with Nutshot even though they fight all the time.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #18,19,23

Secret Identity Podcast

When this world famous comic podcast team drops by they entertain with some geek-related humor and banter that even the Howling Commandos would love. They run their podcast and sometimes the play by play for backyard wrestling.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #12

Smitty Stevenson

An inglorious comic book creator from the Golden Age. Smitty seems to be a con artist that preys on the young and innocent geek mind to get what he wants. His tall tales of comic's past are usually just a bunch of bullshit.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #16

Smoke

A living legend who is a loud, smooth talking, charismatic wrestler at night and mild mannered Rick Morgan by day. He has shown J.D. some of his tricks for picking up the ladies. As Rick he can get into all the geek things that Wally, Orson and Dekker love. You can imagine what this does to J.D. who wants the Smoke and all his glory all to himself.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #12,15

Stenographer

A friend of Orson's who has the typing skills of a god and can probably see the truth behind what's going on in the house but is reluctant to say so, he also has a pretty sharp wit.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #22

Stimpleton Family

A nice middle class family that has come on some unfortunate circumstances and becomes a victim of J.D.'s plans to better their lives and his.

Notable Appearance: Christmas Annual 2007

Store Clerks

A boy and girl clerk that work the counter to the local video store that J.D. steals from to get a Christmas gift for Wally. The girl is another one of J.D.'s sexual conquests that he has no respect for and has made her act out He-man fantasies in bed.

Notable Appearance: Christmas Annual 2005

The Oracle

The Oracle is a living genius that has gone insane from his knowledge. Once a regular plumber his quest for information turned him into a multiple personality, schizo, streetbum. He is known only to be found in Home Depot parking lots and trying to get anything from him could drive a sane person mad.

Notable Appearance: Swass Adventures #26

Toy Dealer

A character whose shady dealings call into question where his true allegiances lie. He is street smart and tough, and knows how to stay alive in the harsh world of street crime and petty thievery. In the beginning, he was a street hustling dealer who sold highly dangerous and addictive toys to unsuspecting fan boys. He occasionally uses a wheelchair or cane, and while this is never discussed, it is likely that he occasionally finds himself shot or injured by other dangerous characters in the world of toy dealing. In an alternate dimension, he was revealed to be J.D.'s roommate where he had become a less threatening character, choosing to deal in the black market for new and used sex toys.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #17,18,24

Tommy Swass

This lame-ass, overweight, “stuck in the 80's” music television V.J. with ZERO TALENT has a knack to irritate everyone when he comes on the tube. Despite what most level-headed people think, his popularity to adolescence kids who totally worship “teen angst” reality shows and wouldn't know what a good music video is, make him unquestionably the premier front man in music television today. In essence, the Swassman is pure lame but his millions of pre-teen followers are way too stupid to realize it (what does he care he makes millions and bangs porn stars). If all this isn't enough, Tommy also possesses an almost identical resemblance to Dekker which makes him even more unbearable, if that's possible. In the alternate universe Tommy Swass seems to be a political commentator and is just plain mean.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #9,19, Christmas Annual 2007

Wally North

The level-headed, kind, yet sometimes gullible guy who looks for the best in everyone and in any situation. Think Charlie Brown trying to "right the wrong" like his hero Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) while maintaining his sanity in a world lost. Wally tries to live as normal of a life as possible by balancing a riled up J.D. and trying to "get it right" with his on and off again girlfriend Brooke. Known for his high-speed-joystick-trigger-fingers and an almost uncanny dedication to his comic book heroes.

Notable Appearance: Hero Envy #9,17,18, Christmas Annual 2006

Warren the Angel

A guardian angel that looks a lot like the Moon man from the Joppa gang (come to think of it, he looks a little like Jake B. Piscano too). Warren comes to earth to help the pathetic Wally North in a quest to show him that he has a life worth living. Warren is a fun loving angel with a good heart that also likes to give off some snappy banter while helping others realize how great life really is.

Notable Appearance: Christmas Annual 2006
