Penn Zero is the titular main protagonist of the 2015 Disney XD animated series Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero. He is a student at Middleburg Central High who also works as a part-time hero.
Background[]
Penn obtained the job as part-time hero after his parents, Brock and Vonnie Zero, became trapped in the Most Dangerous World Imaginable by Rippen, with no way to escape. From then on, he lived with his Aunt Rose and Uncle Chuck, and could communicate with his parents via the Multi Universe Hologram Uplink, or MUHU for short. As a part-time hero working for Phyllis, he is joined by his best school friend Boone and Sashi to hop through dimensions using the Multi Universe Transprojector to foil the plans of his art teacher Rippen and his not-so-evil minion Principal Larry.
Physical appearance[]
Penn is middling in height, with curly orange-red hair, cyan eyes, and skin. He wears a white-with-black-sleeves shirt with a symbol resembling a slashed zero outlined with orange on the front, a blue plaid collar and end of sleeves, and fake chain mail mesh underneath. Around his hips, he wears a black belt with the MUHU attached to it. He also wears red skinny jeans and white boots with black fronts, and a yellow line above the ankle.
Relationships[]
Sashi Kobayashi[]
Calling her the smartest and toughest of girls, Penn appreciates Sashi's friendship and assistance. He relies on Sashi heavily when it comes to pulling off complicated tasks like retrieving the magic sword and escaping the prison cage in "North Pole Down". Whenever Sashi becomes angry, Penn becomes terrified by her, like when she wasn't pleased with his trick in dodgeball in "3 Big Problems", but at other times he enjoys making fun of her like when she gets a silly form or he's not fazed by it. He calls her out for being so violent, stubborn, and a bit crazy in "The Princess Most Fair", but when she admits she feels left out of Penn and Boone's close bond, he reassures her that she is the glue to the group, keeping the team together.
Maria[]
In "The Pirates, the Parrot, the Puzzles and the Talking Boats", He has a crush on the female pirate named Maria.
