Kid (Kid Cosmic)

Kid or the kid is the main protagonist of the show Kid Cosmic.

Kid is a boy who lives with his free-spirited grandpa, Papa "G" George in a sparsely populated desert town. He dreams of becoming a hero, which becomes true when he discovers five Cosmic Stones of Power in a wrecked spaceship. Personality: Free-spirited and enthusiastic, Kid is driven by an intense passion in whatever he sets his mind to. He pursues his goal with gusto and encourages others to do the same. While prone to being irritable like any kid, he is a kind-hearted lad who does want to do the right thing. He can be prone to getting tunnel vision on his goals. Despite this, he does show many admirable qualities of leadership, showing he takes the role seriously. He is open to getting feedback and deferring to the advices when need be. He also praises their accomplishments along with generall doing his best to keep them safe and ultimately, inspiring them to be better.

However, the trauma from the loss of his parents from the car crash has left emotional scars in his heart. It's implied his hero work is partially and subconsciously motivated by a need to not feel helpless and have control in his life. This becomes more prominent whenever his confidence in his abilities begin to waver, leading to his insecurities clouding his judgment and making him more temperamental. Also, him still being a child means he's prone to the novelty of wanting to look cool and capable with his inability to live up to his own hype damaging his self-esteem. This strains his relationships with the team when he feels left behind regarding abilities and he becomes hurt when he isn't taken seriously on this, becoming more reckless.

Despite this, this trauma also drives him in a more positive way; having felt helpless in the tragedy that robbed him of his parents, he strives to make sure such tragedy does not happen again if he can help it. Indeed, when seeing a situation nearly repeat, it triggers the memory and taps into the true power of his stone, showing the instinctual drive he has in wanting to help. Over the seasons, he matures and becomes more capable, focusing on the selfless aspects of being a hero while maintaining his spirit and determination that compelled him to form the team. Appearance: Kid is an enthusiastic kid at heart with light skin and slightly long blonde hair. He wears orange glasses, red earphones with antennas and black and white decals, and a yellow tool belt. He wears a white shirt with lime green sleeves, a black and red cape, black sport shorts and blue socks. He also has a scar in his abdomen, which may be from the car crash when he was little. Powers: Flight from Kid's personal favorite out of the five, the green Cosmic Ring, which is the one he holds onto instead of later giving to someone else. Friends, relatives, and acquaintances: Papa G: Papa G is the heart of the team and its moral compass. He would prefer to peacefully "talk it out" with the aliens invading their sleepy desert town rather than fight the so called "bad guys". As Kid's main caretaker and only living family, Papa G will do anything to make his grandson happy. Jo: Jo is a member of the Local Heroes. Like most teenagers, she daydreams of seeing the world but is stuck waitressing at her mom's diner in the middle of nowhere. On the surface, Jo may come off like an angsty teen, but the responsibility she takes in looking after Kid proves that she is caring and kind at heart. Rosa: Rosa Flores is the muscle of the team, who could easily be described as a pint-sized powerhouse, and a natural superhero. Her rambunctious spirit makes her the best at kicking alien butt. Tuna Sandwich: Don't let his love of sleep and tuna sandwiches fool you, this cat is the brains of the team. Thanks to his power he is able to see the future... if only there was some way he could tell the others. Misc: Each stone has a different power, later being given to each of the four characters just mentioned. Papa G eventually gets the yellow stone, which has the power of self-cloning. Jo eventually gets the purple stone, which has the power to let you teleport to wherever you can think of, while a little unruly. Rosa eventually gets the blue stone, which can alter her size. The red stone belongs to the cat, Tuna Sandwich, which gives the power of precognition. However, initially Kid knows none of this, and the rocks having superpowers was just a lucky guess, and has to unlock the power of his chosen stone, the green one, through trial and error later.
