Plot

12-year-old nerdy best friends Kevin, Tyler, Shope and Roach not only need to contend with the harrowing halls of their middle school, but at the same time fight microcosmic assassins infecting earthlings bent on destroying them and the entire world.

Characters

The Supernoobs

Four middle school students and friends from the town of Cornbury who unexpectedly find themselves gifted with alien orbs known as Battle Balls that grant them amazing powers. However, when the Supernoobs aren't fighting the virus, they tend to use their powers irresponsibly and/or end up losing their Battle Balls which lead them into crazy disasters.

• Tyler Bowman (voiced by Matt Hill) – the wielder of the blue battle ball, which gives him the power to teleport and enhances his natural senses, giving him abilities such as mind-reading. Tyler is the group's leader and oftentimes moral compass, but is also distracted by his feelings for fellow student Amy Anderson.
• Kevin Reynolds (voiced by Richard Cox) – the wielder of the red battle ball, which enables him to shapeshift into various forms, with a running gag being that he often turns into an opossum or something other than what he intended to turn into. Kevin is the most irresponsible member of the team, often employing his Battle Ball for his own amusement or making suggestions that get the group into trouble.
• Jennifer Shope (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) – the only female member of the Supernoobs, and the most scientifically minded of the group, who also considers herself to be the smartest. Shope wields the purple battle ball, which allows her to harness natural forces like water and electricity. She is frequently known on a last-name basis to her friends, whereas most adults refer to her by her given name.
• Theodore "The Roach" Roachmont (voiced by Lee Tockar) – the shortest member of the Supernoobs with unruly red hair in which can be found various objects. Roach wields the green battle ball, which grants him the power of flight and super strength through enlarging his fists. Though not usually the team's strategist, he does occasionally stumble onto brilliant ideas, such as discovering that the Battle Balls could combine to create a vehicle.

Civilians

• Jock Jockerson (voiced by Michael Adamthwaite) – a classmate of the Noobs noted for his large size and athletic ability, Jock is a bully who often refers to himself in the third person. He is not highly intelligent, quick to anger, and often ends up in his underwear as a result of the Noobs' misadventures.
• Principal (voiced by Maryke Hendrikse) – the stern administrator of the Noobs' school who is suspicious of their activities.
• Amy Anderson (voiced by Maryke Hendrikse) – a classmate of the Noobs whom Tyler has a crush on, though he lacks confidence in approaching/speaking to her. Despite this, she seems to reciprocate his feelings to some degree, and unwittingly develops a crush on his superhero alter ego after he saves her from a Virus attack.
• Sue Newswoman a newscaster who often covers stories of the Noobs' misadventures.
• Mr. and Mrs. Shope - Jennifer Shope's mild-mannered parents, who are somewhat skeptical of her friendship with the other Noobs. Due to being unaware of Shope's superhero status, they become fearful that the boys are having a negative influence on her due to her displaying uncharacteristic behavior. Fortunately, Zen-disguised as Shope-manages to convince them to trust in her judgment and ability to stay on top of things, though they remain strict.

Benevolent Alliance

An intergalactic organization dedicated to battling the virus.

• Zenblock/Zen (voiced by Michael Adamthwaite) – a blue alien who is constantly accompanied by Mem, whom he is virtually identical to physically apart from their coloring, teeth, and nose shape. Zen is the gruffer of the pair, but like Mem is largely unfamiliar with Earth culture. They were sent to Earth by the Benevolent Alliance to recruit warriors for the battle against the virus, but mistook the four children in paintball gear for soldiers. While he is often disparaging of the Noobs' skills-having been the one to give them their less-than flattering team name-he does have a soft spot for them, which led to him being assigned along with Mem to train the group. Zen is capable of disguising himself as an adult male human with brown hair who usually wears a blue outfit including a sweater vest, during which he employs the alias "Bob."
• Memnock/Mem (voiced by Bill Mondy) – a yellow alien and companion to Zen, who like his companion possesses special armor that grants him similar powers to the Noobs. Mem is the softer spoken and more sensitive of the pair. Mem and Zen have the tendency to blame each other for things, such as the mistake of selecting the Supernoobs, though they usually come to their aid during battles. In human form, Mem appears as a blonde man named "Rob" who usually wears a green outfit that includes a sweater that he wears with the arms tied around his neck.
• XR4Ti (voiced by Rebecca Shoichet) – the feminine artificial intelligence controlling Mem and Zen's ship, the Galacticus. XR4Ti is often the voice of reason, even more so than the occasionally irresponsible Mem and Zen, but deals with limitations of being a computer with no power to act on her own.
• General Blorgon (voiced by Scott McNeil) - the leader of the Benevolent Alliance, a blue-skinned and bald alien with telepathic abilities. Blorgon is Mem and Zen's superior, and usually appears with two aides or colleagues who assist him in his duties. Though noble, Blorgon is known for his harsh methods, such as subjecting new virus warrior recruits to harsh tests or punishing those irresponsible enough to misplace their battle balls by having their brains sucked out (though the latter is only implied).
• Rovu - an alien who appears to be of the same or a similar species to Mem and Zen, but with reddish brown skin and a blue pod on his armor. Like Mem and Zen Rovu is assigned to recruit warriors to battle the Virus, but has been much more successful than them and won the Recruiter of the Year award seven times in a row. He is highly egotistical and enjoys rubbing his success in the faces of others; he was humbled when the Supernoobs rescued the entire New Virus Warriors convention from Count Venamus, resulting in Mem and Zen receiving the Recruiter of the Year award and breaking his streak.

Villains

• Virus - it comes from outer space and infects different planets. The Virus is produced by the unknown alien creators. The Benevolent Alliance and the Supernoobs battle the Virus and also seek to find out who are the creators of the virus.

• Count Venamus - one of the creators' agents and he's a wanted criminal throughout the galaxy. His job is to infect the warriors that are battling the virus. The Benevolent alliance and the Supernoobs are trying to capture him in hopes that he'll have the information about the creators of the virus. Until his first encounter with the Supernoobs his invisibility power/technology had made him a mysterious figure whose very existence was uncertain; however, the Noobs manage to thwart his plan and his identity now exposed, leading him to swear vengeance.

• The Creators of the Virus - very little about the creators only that they created the virus and unleashed it throughout the universe. They have agents like Count Venamus to help infect the universe.
