Fan Casting The Best Friend (and/or Comic Relief) in The Perfect Teen Superhero Cartoon

Power: Electrokinesis — specifically, the ability to heat objects with electricity (think stove-top intensity, not lightning bolts) He’s the guy who’ll roast you with a one-liner, then roast your lunch with his powers. Sarcastic, sharp-witted, and unapologetically pragmatic, this best friend is the team’s walking reality check — and its comic relief. If there’s a tension-filled moment, he’s the one cracking a joke. If there’s a plan that sounds like it came from a superhero fanfiction, he’s the one asking, “Are we seriously doing this?” But don’t let the snark fool you. He’s fiercely loyal, protective to a fault, and would absolutely throw hands (or volts) for his friends. He’s the kind of guy who pretends not to care, but secretly memorizes everyone’s favorite snack and shows up with it when they’re down. His powers are as practical as he is — no flashy lightning bolts or dramatic storms. Just precise, controlled heat. Need to melt through a lock? He’s your guy. Need a grilled cheese mid-battle? Also your guy. He’s the most logical member of the trio, often clashing with the love interest’s impulsiveness and grounding the hero when emotions run high. But his goofy streak — complete with bad impressions, weird nicknames, and spontaneous dance moves — makes him the heartbeat of the group’s humor.
