Synopsis


The show is based on Zoey, a girl in second grade. StarBeam, a superhero with unusual powers, including super-speed, super-strength, flight, high-velocity wind breathing, and the power to build force fields with bubbles, is Zoey's alter-ego. With her catchphrase, "It's time to shine!" Zoey turns into StarBeam. Zoey inherited her superpowers from her superhero mother, WonderBeam, and follows the theme of family superheroes.
Only a few people are aware of her hidden existence in Zoey's world. These individuals include her "Gramps" non-superpower grandfather; her closest friend, Henry, a "Boost" superhero who invents devices that strengthen his superhero abilities; and a friend who gives moral encouragement, their seagull sidekick, "Kipper." Gramps, Boost, and Kipper, together, always assist Zoey to save the day.




Characters






= Main

=
Zoey/StarBeam (voiced by Nahanni Mitchell) is the main heroine. Typically energetic and strong-willed, Zoey is very playful and excitable. StarBeam's powers are bubble-based, though she also has super breath in addition to flight, super strength, and super speed. StarBeam's suit has also changed appearances depending on the mission, from manifesting as a spacesuit to giving her a mermaid tail for underwater missions.
Henry Blumenshine/Boost (voiced by Dean Petriw) is Zoey's best friend. Henry is the son of Mayor Blumenshine, who is unaware of his superhero identity as much as Zoey's. Henry is relatively more scientific and down to earth than Zoey, but he does enjoy much of the same activities that she likes. Unlike StarBeam, Boost lacks natural superpowers, including super strength and flight, and instead uses a menagerie of high-tech gadgets and inventions to assist any way he can.
Gramps/AlphaBeam (voiced by Terry Klassen) is Zoey's grandfather and the father of WonderBeam. Gramps lacks any superpowers compared to Zoey and her mom, but his main role is mission control; he works in Beam Control at the lighthouse to watch for villains and other emergencies. Gramps has a calming presence, and gives Zoey words of wisdom when things get hairy in a mission. In his downtime, he enjoys fishing at the dock outside. Although he lacks natural superpowers, like Boost he makes use of a high-tech suit as a superhero, first doing so in the New Years' special.
Kipper (voiced by Sam Vincent) is Zoey's pet seagull and accompanies her on her missions. Kipper is notably food-minded, as his primary motive, aside from helping StarBeam, is to constantly snack on miscellaneous foodstuffs, which can get him and/or the mission in big trouble.
Zoey's Mom/WonderBeam (voiced by Diana Kaarina) and Zoey's mother as well as Gramps' daughter. Zoey's mom cares very much about her family, but like Zoey, she is dedicated to her duty as a superheroine. She shares StarBeam's powers of super strength, super speed and flight, but she uses more laser-derived superpowers in contrast to StarBeam's bubbles, including a laser cage that renders all superpowers unusable.




= Villains

=
Captain Fishbeard (voiced by Sam Vincent) is an overweight pirate who, much like a few species of birds, kleptomaniacally takes whatever shiny objects he sees, no matter how worthless much of them are. Fishbeard captains a flying pirate ship known as the Delores, and he has a gecko named Leonard instead of a parrot as with most pirates. Rather than a typical pirate accent, he uses a hoarse American accent whenever he speaks.
Miserable Marla (voiced by Maryke Hendrikse) is a blue-skinned girl with freckles and generally drab clothing. True to her name, Marla acts miserable when others are enjoying themselves, and she delights in spreading misery to the citizens of Summersette. Marla can levitate in mid-air, and while capable of generating wind, she primarily controls cloud-based weather, namely rain, snow or lightning as well as static electricity. She is sometimes accompanied by a number of sentient storm clouds, but she otherwise goes solo in her schemes.
Cosmic Crusher (voiced by Vincent Tong) is a large muscular man. Crusher is highly arrogant and believes himself to be the best dancer in all of Summersette, usually arriving to a captive audience. Twice however, his defeat comes from his overconfidence, which allows StarBeam and Boost to outsmart and defeat him. Cosmic Crusher has super strength and advanced dance moves, but his ego often hampers his performance.
Goop (voiced by Sam Vincent) is a green and purple three-eyed alien-like being who appeared sporadically throughout the series (mostly under the servitude of his master Todd). He is idiotically ditzy and partially go-lucky, but he is loyal and enjoys helping his boss, though he is a bit of a coward. Goop is able to transform his body into many different forms, though a focused beam of light can force him back into his true shape.
Todd (voiced by Sam Vincent) is a short purple being in a black and yellow outfit whole is widely known to Zoey's family as the most troublesome villain in all of Summersette's knowledge. Todd is extremely mad and dramatic, though while he is malicious, he is always foiled due to some of his drawbacks, abusing his servant Goop being among them. Todd's primary (and seemingly only) superpower is his ability to grow at will, though he can often get arrogant when doing so. He only appeared via mentions or through communication windows between him and Goop, but debuted in person during the Season 3 premiere.
Tricksy the Pixie (voiced by Diana Kaarina) is a mischievous fairy who enjoys causing problems around Summersette. Tricksy has arachnophobia but delights in playing pranks in peaceful environments, ranging from switching trail signs to swapping a hot dog for a snail. She often revels in her tricks, but has shown sympathy in her debut. She affectionately refers to her magic wand as "Wanda", and often leaves with a good laugh. Tricksy only reverses the effects of her pranks after somebody pranks her back. She was introduced in Season 3.
Mystery Villain (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent) is an unknown character who hired Cosmic Crusher, Fishbeard, and Miserable Marla to sabotage the New Year.




= Others

=
Ms. Winkleman (voiced by Laara Sadiq) is a teacher at the school where Henry and Zoey attend.
Mayor Blumenshine (voiced by Rhona Rees) is the mayor of Summersette and the mother of Henry/Boost. As with much of the other characters, Blumenshine is unaware of Henry and Zoey's superhero identities, but she does appreciate their help to a great extent. Her name is a pun on the words "bloom and shine".
Luna Diaz (voiced by Sarah Almonte Peguero) is an astronaut who works for an unknown space program in Summersette. Diaz was a local hero of the Summersette citizens, and she researched the possibilities of growing plants in outer space.
Ms. Fawkes is a photographer who takes pictures for the local school.
Stella (voiced by Abigail Journey Oliver) is a young redhead girl with glasses, pigtails and braces who is one of Zoey and Henry's classmates and friends. Stella is known to everyone else as a huge StarBeam superfan, even crafting herself a costume based on StarBeam's uniform.
Greta and Gunther (voiced by Jaeda Lily Miller and Zion Simpson respectively) are Zoey and Henry's twin classmates.
Zak (voiced by Orlando Lucas) is Zoey and Henry's paraplegic classmate.
Zara/EchoBeam (voiced by Kyla Blackmore) is Zoey's cousin. Like Gramps and Boost, her superhero identity uses a high-tech suit and her guitar she also has music power.
