Dexter
The boy genius himself! Dexter is the genius of all the gadgets, the robots and the crazy experiments of the lab. He is short, serious and has a deep accent that cannot be forgotten by the fans. His main goal? To demonstrate that he is the smartest kid in the world, had it not been his sister intervening and spoiling his plans.
Dee Dee
The elder sister of Dexter who is the complete opposite. She is not without humor, is clumsy and never leaves without inquiring about the secret lab of her brother. Dee Dee is an abuser of random buttons (explicitly disaster prone). Although she makes Dexter insane, she still privately reminds him that fun is important also.
Mom
The mom of Dexter maintains her house clean and has her yellow gloves on. She is loving yet completely oblivious of the fact that there is a huge secret laboratory beneath her kitchen. Her light mood counters the commotion that occurs right below her feet.
Dad
Dexter has a father who is cool, has confidence and to some extent is a goofy kind of guy who adores barbecue and lawn care. Similar to Mom, he is unaware of the experiments of Dexter. His vintage approach of advice tends to serve Dexter with the unexpected idea of his inventions.
Mandark
Dexter’s rival in everything. Mandark is another intelligent kid scientist, but he is darker, moodier, and focused on beating Dexter. His wicked laugh (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!) is unforgettable. He goes to the extent of being infatuated with Dee Dee which makes the situations even more humorous.
Computer
The loyal lab assistant of Dexter. Computer assists him in calculations, laboratory control, and updates about the projects. The soothing and robotic voice brings out the best sci-fi to the experiments that Dexter does. The lab would not even operate without Computer.
Monkey
During the day Monkey is a lab test subject of Dexter. During the night he is a covert superhero who battles the evil all over the world. Dial M for Monkey, his mini-series, display his humorous and heroic side. Dexter does not know that Monkey is a hero, and this is even better.
Agent Honeydew
Partner of Monkey in fighting crime. Being intelligent, fearless, and fashionable, Agent Honeydew assists Monkey in defeating the evildoers and maintaining a secret that he is a superhero. She introduces the ideal element of action-hero to the Dexter world.
Major Glory
The parody of a superhero Captain America and Superman were combined into one. Major Glory is a dramatic hero who takes everything far too seriously. He also features in The Justice Friends another spin-off of the world of Dexter.
Valhallen
A Viking god of rock and roll, who is an electric-guitar-wielding rocket weapon. Valhallen is a member of The Justice Friends and unites music and myth in the most bizarre yet coolest manner possible.
Krunk
A super-hero who happens to be huge and purple and who is not as smart as he is strong. Krunk is a cereal-loving childish and strong manly character with the love of cereal and silliness. He is evidence that not all heroes must be intelligent to be likable.
Final Thoughts
These Dexter cartoon characters created one of the most inventive and funny cartoon programs in the history of cartoons. Since the world of genius inventions, and the stupid quarrels of two brothers, Dexter and his Laboratory continues to inspire the audience even nowadays.
