Voice cast[]

Main[]

  • Sydney Thomas as Treena,[4] a girl who uses powers controlling plant life. Her color is green, and her badge has a flower shape. She serves as the Action Pack's default leader, and uses a shield named the "Petal Power Shield" and the "Awesomer Blossomer" baton gadget, which lets her sprout vines for swinging or grabbing.
  • Oscar Reyez as Watts,[4] a boy who uses powers controlling electricity. His color is blue, and his badge has a pair of lightning bolts. Watts is the most impatient of the team, and can morph his legs into lightning bolts for super speed in addition to using electricity in projectile forms by throwing either solid lightning bolts or electrical spheres.
  • Julieta Cortes as Wren,[4] a girl who uses powers allowing her to uses animal abilities. Her color is yellow, and her badge has a cat's paw print. Wren is the most empathetic team member, and she often uses the powers of a butterfly's wings, a polar bear's arms, and the legs and tail of a cheetah.
  • Nevin Kar as Clay,[4] a boy who uses powers controlling plasma and forcefields. His color is red, and his badge has a sun shape. Clay is the most reserved member of the team, and his body is composed of a form of plasma that allows him to shapeshift and stretch or deform his body.
  • Giancarlo Sabogal as Mr. Ernesto, the adult mentor of the Action Pack. He is accompanied by a robotic dog named Plunky, who acts as his teaching assistant.

Supporting[]

  • Hartley Wexler as Dinah Rex, a young girl obsessed with dinosaurs. This obsession has led her to perform several acts of villainy throughout town, mainly carried out by her robotic dinosaur minions. She is eventually revealed to be half-dinosaur, and later joins as the Action Pack's friends.
  • Kimberly Brooks as Jackie
  • Lotus Blossom as Abby, Gabby, and Maddy, three identical triplets who live in Hope Springs. Gabby has a yellow streak in her hair and Abby has red, both usually being happy. Maddy, however, has a purple streak in her hair, and unlike her sisters is usually seen with somewhat emo behavior.

Minor[]

  • Sander as Cold Snap, a young boy with wintery white skin who enjoys playing in cold weather. He has the power to create winter weather patterns and flies with a jetpack.
  • Jason Hightower as Phil Donut, the local baker of Hope Springs.
  • Brennley Brown as Pepper, a baker who is determined to outdo Phil Donut, using numerous pastry-themed weapons to aid in her villainous methods. Like most of the series' villains, she reforms after a number of episodes.
  • John Eric Bentley as Crimson Cape/Rupert, a former student and current full time superhero. He is Watts' idol.
  • Jakari Fraser as Mason, a friend of Treena's and a young boy with rock-like skin. He is eager and tends to be too rambunctious with his powers, which can lead to collateral damage. His powers include rolling up into a sphere shape and super strength.
  • Jason Maybaum as Teddy Von Taker, a boy whose family is known for their compulsive desire to steal, himself included.
  • Eleanor Noel Delgadillo as Sky Patel, Clay's younger sister with a similar power set.
  • Jim Conroy as Chuckles, a former villain who becomes the Crimson Cape's sidekick.
