Characters

PJ Masks

PJ Masks is a superhero team that fights crime at night to keep it from ruining people's days. Their catchphrase when planning to go fight their enemies is "PJ Masks, we're on our way. Into the night, to save the day!" Their base is hidden in a totem-like structure in the park which also houses a crystal that grants them their abilities. When the villains are defeated, their victory catchphrase is "PJ Masks, all shout hooray, cause in the night, we saved the day!" Among its members are:

• Connor / Catboy (voiced by Jacob Ewaniuk in Season 1, Jacob Ursomarzo in Season 2) – Connor is a blue-eyed boy with brown hair. When he transforms, he wears a blue cat costume with cat ears and a thin feline tail. He has super-hearing using Cat Ears, can leap high and far using Super Cat Jump, and sprints fast using Super Cat Speed, or just Super Speed. When on a mission, he sometimes likes to narrate his actions. His main flaws are his impulsiveness and his need to control, flaws which can be exploited by the team's opponents. His vehicle is the Cat Car located in the middle segment of the PJ Masks' tower. His bedroom is on the second floor of a blue-roofed blue-doored house next to Amaya's house. Connor has a cat that is named after him.
• Amaya / Owlette (voiced by Addison Holley) – Amaya is an auburn-eyed girl with brown hair who wears red glasses. When she transforms, she wears a red costume with a wing-shaped cape. She has owl eyes which lets her see things that are far away up close, and she also has super owl wing wind. Her vehicle is the Owl-Glider, which can also do a "Super Owl Wing Wind". She is housed in her top segment of the PJ Masks' tower. Her bedroom is on the third floor of a red-roofed red-doored home with a walled-in yard between Connor and Greg's houses. Amaya owns an owl named Birdie.
• Greg / Gekko (voiced by Kyle Harrison Breitkopf) – Greg is a green-eyed, blonde haired boy. When he transforms he wears a green costume with a thick reptilian tail, fins on top of his head. His powers are: Super Gekko Camouflage to go invisible or blend into his surroundings, Super Gekko Muscles (aka Super Muscles) to lift heavy things, Super Lizard Grip to climb walls or anchor himself to stop vehicles, and Super Lizard Water Run to walk on water. He has exhibited enough strength to lift a mobile laboratory off the ground. His vehicle is the Gekko-Mobile, which is also a submersible vehicle which can travel underwater and also ride up & over buildings via land on tank treads which is slower than the Cat-Car. His vehicle is located in the bottom segment of the PJ Masks tower. The vehicle has abilities similar to him, with a "Gekko-Mobile Camouflage" letting it blend in with surroundings. His bedroom is on the second floor of a green-roofed green-doored house next to Amaya's. Greg has a gecko named Lionel.
• PJ Robot – A robot that Romeo created to infiltrate the PJ masks HQ. However, PJ robot decided to be a PJ Mask rather than a villain's sidekick. He joined the PJ Masks Team in season 2. He spends most of his time inside HQ as mission control for the PJ Masks.
• Armadylan (voiced by Max Calinescu) – An armadillo-like boy who wants to be a hero, but his being inexperienced causes him to mess up. He first meets the PJ Masks in "Meet Armadylan", but usually doesn't join their team for more than 1 episode at the time. Armadylan's powers are Earthquake to shake the ground, super strength to lift any heavy objects, like Gekko, Roll himself up into a ball to attack his opponents and he can also dig underground to go underneath the ground. Romeo once called him an anteater and/or an aardvark instead of an armadillo.

Villains

• Romeo (voiced by Alex Thorne in the series, Carter Thorne in the short films) – The main villain in the series. He is a mad scientist and child prodigy who comes up with a variety of devices from his mobile lab and dislikes for PJ Masks and other villains (even Luna Girl and Night Ninja). His favorite inventions (as said in "Owlette's New Move") are his Robot, his La-Boggin, his Track-A-Whacker, and Radical Romeo Remote. He once took over the city in "Gekko and the Mayhem at the Museum."
  • Robot – A large robot who is the personal servant of Romeo. He has acted on his own once when Romeo invented Robette and Robot was stealing playground equipment to make a new friend. At one point, he turned to PJ Masks when Romeo ditched him for a captured Armadylan in one of his plots.
  • Robette – One of Romeo's inventions. It began to try to take over the world herself in "Catboy and Gekko's Robot Rampage". This was due to a loose screw and was later resolved. During the episode, Romeo's original robot became jealous of Robette, which resulted in the robot running away. This was also later resolved and Romeo became friends with Robot again. She returned again in the Season 2 episode "PJ Robot."
  • Toolbox - A walking toolbox who works with Romeo and in case of making inventions Toolbox carries Romeo's tools.
  • Spy-Bot - A cube sized bot who works for Romeo.
• Luna Girl (voiced by Brianna Daguanno) – A villain who has sparkly, silver hair. Her main weapons are a Luna Magnet device and her luna board which she uses as a mode of transportation. This once included a giant Moon-Ball, which could steal objects and swallow her enemies. She teamed with PJ Masks while defeating Romeo in some episodes when it came to him threatening the Moon or using her stolen lunar crystal.
  • Moths – A swarm of moths who are Luna Girl's minions.
• Night Ninja (voiced by Trek Buccino in Season 1, Devan Cohen in the short films and Season 2) – A ninja. He and Romeo once teamed up in "Catboy and the Shrinker" when Romeo needed someone to help operate his shrink ray and in "Wacky Floats" where they stole the parade floats and plotted to transform them into Robot Floats. He did once help the PJ Masks in "Wolfy Mountain" when the Wolfy Kids found their way to Mystery Mountain in a plot to make it their lair.
  • Ninjalinos – The minions of Night Ninja. They are small ninjas that talk in their own, unintelligible language. Their numbers vary from episode to episode, from as little as three to well over a dozen.
• The Wolfy Kids - A trio of werewolf siblings.
  • Rip - The female member who also the leader of the Wolfy Kids with dark magenta hair with light tips.
  • Howler - A member of the Wolfy Kids with gray spiky hair.
  • Kevin (voiced by Ethan Pugiotto) - A member of the Wolfy Kids who has dark shaggy hair over his eyes. He often acts nice towards the PJ Mask much to the annoyance of Howler and Rip.

Recurring

• Cameron (voiced by Tristan Samuel in Season 1, Jonah Wineberg in Season 2) – A boy in the same class as PJ Masks when they attend school during the day as civilians. He once scared Amaya with a T-Rex cutout the same way Connor did earlier in "Owlette's Terrible Pterodactyl Trouble", but Connor learned his lesson and tells Cameron not to do it. In "Catboy's Cuddly", he was revealed to have a sister, who attends the same school.
• Teacher (voiced by Rob Tinkler) – An unnamed adult male who teaches Connor, Greg, and Amaya's class. When things disappear, he thinks it's strange.
• Jayden Houston – A popular singer that is known for his golden microphone. His microphone was stolen by Luna Girl in "Catboy's Tricky Ticket", but was later recovered by the PJ Masks.
• Master Fang – The protagonist of his own comic book and TV series. He is largely looked up to by Greg and Connor, but Amaya doesn't seem to care about him much. He is known for his signature sword which was stolen by Night Ninja in "Catboy and Master Fang's Sword".
  • Kick McGee – Master Fang's unseen sidekick. His persona is often used by during missions.
• Flossy Flash – A female comic book superhero that is looked up to by Owlette and Armadylan. Owlette prefers her over Master Fang and Kick McGee who are favored by Catboy and Gekko.
• The Announcer (voiced by Ron Pardo) – A male voice that is heard in every episode as the day becomes night. He is never seen, but is known for saying his signature introduction sequence "Night in the city, and a brave band of heroes is ready to face fiendish villains to stop them messing with your day." As the kids turn into their superhero forms, the announcer states who turns into who.
