Duck Dodgers
Captain Daffy Edgar Dumas Aloysius Eoghain "the Duck" Dodgers (voiced by Joe Alaskey)[1] was a water boy for a college football team who was accidentally frozen for over three centuries and revived by Dr. I.Q. Hi in the middle of the 24th century. Through scheming and lies, he managed to trick everyone into believing he was a 21st-century hero. dodgers is arrogant, rude, selfish, greedy, lazy, cowardly, gullible, and not particularly intelligent. He occasionally displays surprisingly high levels of heroism and competence, suggesting that he is not quite as daft as he appears to be, although he mostly succeeds through dumb luck and the work of the Eager Young Space Cadet.
Cadet
Eager Young Space Cadet (voiced by Bob Bergen)[1] is the faithful sidekick of Duck Dodgers. Cadet is loyal to Dodgers and looks up to him, seeing him as a father-figure in many ways. Cadet is also fairly successful as a ladies' man, often being the one who ends up with the woman Dodgers swoons over. He graduated summa cum laude from the Protectorate Academy. Very little else is known about his past, though one episode portrays him as being the prince of the planet Swinus 9.
I.Q. Hi
Dr. Ignatius Q. "I.Q." Hi (voiced by Richard McGonagle)[1] is a scientist who revived Dodgers after he was frozen for three centuries. He is the Chief Scientist for the Galactic Protectorate and usually acts as a representative on Earth on behalf of the World President. Hi is responsible for giving missions to the team.

Later episodes also show that I.Q. Hi owns an old castle inherited from his ancestors (which is later destroyed by Dodgers), enjoys lattes, fishing, and despite their rivalries, appears to be on friendly terms with Queen Tyr'ahnee. He also has a brother named Psy Q. Hi, who is a psychiatrist.
