The Unlikely Hero
At first glance, Theo might not strike many as the typical superhero. He’s more at home solving complicated math problems or engaging in a game of chess than facing off against menacing extraterrestrials.
But therein lies his charm and strength. Unlike others who rely purely on brute strength, Theo uses his intellectual prowess to navigate challenges. This cerebral approach provides a refreshing contrast and proves that brains can indeed be just as effective as brawn.
The Tech Wizard
Any superhero team would be incomplete without its tech genius, and for the Supernoobs, Theo proudly fills this role. Armed with the knowledge of the latest gadgets and gizmos, he often comes to the rescue by devising innovative solutions that others might overlook.
This aspect of his character shows children everywhere that passion and curiosity about technology can lead to fantastic adventures.
Personality
Roach stands out as the untamed spirit among the Supernoobs. His wild nature often overshadows any semblance of etiquette he might possess. Yet, his unwavering loyalty to his squad is evident, as he consistently seeks ways to support them, even if his methods sometimes appear comical. Interestingly, Roach exhibits a rich linguistic flair, boasting an extensive vocabulary.
Among the Noobs, he’s recognized as the least self-centered and exudes an air of genuine innocence. However, this very innocence often makes him the most susceptible to deception and naivety.
An intriguing aspect of his personality is his apparent inclination towards mature women, as indicated by his interactions with characters like XR4Ti, his play director at school, and an extraterrestrial princess.
