The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, now with 20% more ongoing.

Captain Horatio Huffenpuff of the Beany and Cecil Show.

You win again, Glowworm. Good job. . You go again.

I think I can do this one.
1. I'm a superhero of the educational variety.
2. My voice actor (most of the time) was also known for being an eccentric candy creator and a not quite so mad scientist.
3. I use the letters on my sweater to fight an evil word changing man.

I know this, but will only answer if no one else gets it.

I think I found the answer. It's Letterman, from The Adventures of Letterman.

Yes, it's Letterman, an animated segment from the original Electric Company. Letterman was voiced by the late Gene Wilder.

Got one.

I am the title character of a movie.
I perform magic with the use of an instrument.
I wear an eye patch, but I'm not a pirate.

I know this one but will see if someone else knows it too.

This would be Kubo from Laika Entertainment's Kubo And The Two Strings. Kubo can play a magic shamisen to help him regain his father's armor. It also lets him "repay" his grandfather for taking his eye out, necessitating the eye patch.

That's right on the button OUB! Here's a star for you.

Sweet, I like stars. Oh look, only one character in a set has been tapped; it'd be rude to leave his colleagues out in the cold.

1) This character appears in a regularly televised animated cartoon series that's no longer in production. It is available on video, however.

2) The youngest of the three main characters has been elevated to Mystery Character, so that leaves two others in the set. This character is the de facto face and spokesman for the group.

3) This character speaks English. Not the ivory tower academia proper English, but an understandable street slang version, surprisingly devoid of vulgarity. Which is odd, since he and his cohorts are foreigners.

Hate to say it, but you've got me stumped.

Intermediate clues time.

4) Not to disparage these characters, but the popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a huge factor in the creation of this Power Trio.

5) No loving mother would give her son the name that this character wears proudly. It's likely a moniker derived from his enjoyment of moving fast.

6) Oh, and when I said "foreigner," I meant it in the strongest sense possible. As in, from another planet entirely.

Easily found, thanks to those last three clues. It's Throttle, from "Biker Mice From Mars."

That's right on the money, Em. We've already tapped Vinnie some time ago, so I'm adding Throttle, leaving so far only Modo untapped. This is a Marvel Productions series that saw greener grass in the Ninja Turtles yard. Have a newly-minted +1, and control of the board.

Thanks, OUB. Now for one who's been ignored completely until today:

1. Along with the title character, I'm freed from an unlikely prison.

2. Unlike her, I really need to brush up on my magic.

3. My voice actor once joined a famous comic trio.

Three more clues:

4. My animated series is one of many spinoffs of a live action one.

5. She and I are discovered by a surfer boy instead of an astronaut.

6. Neither of us inspired a classic Christina Aguilera song.

Oh, this is Babu, an inept, bumbling genie that's a kind of padawan to Jeannie from the lamp. They're from the Jeannie version by Hanna-Barbera Studios, and were discovered by Corey Anders. Interestingly, Corey Anders' voice actor is Mark Hamill, who went on to become one doozy of an astronaut. Babu's voice actor is the late Joe Besser, who filled in among The Three Stooges until 1958. "Yabble dabble!" and *poof* the magic goes wrong. Maybe if he had a ponytail like Jeannie's ...

OUB, you scored once again. Good job. Your wish for another turn is granted.

Took me awhile to think up another character, but here he is nonetheless:

1) This character appears in a regularly televised animated cartoon series that's no longer in production. One season only, no encores.

2) Most of the other characters in this series are humans; this character isn't, because he's the family pet that just happens to speak English from time to time.

3) As a general rule, a housepet is smaller than most family members. Not in this case: this character is bigger than and outweighs the patriarch by a goodly margin. No pet store today would have him for sale.
