Josephine "Jo" McCormick- The Red Striker Beetleborg and later The Platinum Purple Beetleborg in the second season. And is one of the three main protagonists
Character History[]
Jo, along with her older brother Drew and their best friend Roland, was dared into going inside the Hillhurst Mansion. After evading the three monsters living there, they enter the parlor and she accidentally plays three notes on the pipe organ; this releases a phantasm from the seventh dimension, Flabber, who offers to grant them any wish they desire as a reward for giving him his freedom. Despite thinking it a dream, she, Drew and Roland wish to become the Beetleborgs. However, Flabber accidentally traps them in the comic book world; he lets them out, and the Magnavores by accident.
With Drew and Roland, she takes on the identity of the comic book superheroes known as the Beetleborgs. They fight the Magnavores various times, sending their monster minions back to the comics each time. However, at the same time, they have to deal with the zany antics of the Hillhurst monsters that keep trying to eat them.
When Vexor creates the Shadowborg, the Beetleborgs ally with Art Fortunes, the creator of the comics that their powers came from. He gives them a new teammate and a new weapon; however, because it was due to Shadowborg's existence that they needed a new member, said member loses their powers upon the destruction of the imposter.
Eventually, the Magnavores make their last blunder, by unleashing Nukus from 2D land. He double-crosses them, sending the group back to the comics. Nukus then destroys the Big Bad powers, rendering the Beetleborgs powerless. Art Fortunes designs new powers, creating the Beetleborgs Metallix.
Powers[]
First Beetleborg Powers[]
Jo's powers of super strength given to her by Flabber are activated by cracking her knuckles. She usually hides the fact she's doing this in public, or comes up with a good lie. She often beats up the Hillhurst group with this power since they never learn their lesson about trying to eat them.
Second Beetleborg Powers[]
After Roboborg arrived she received an upgrade to mega spectra Platinum Purple Beetleborg after Nukus and Vilor went Mega themselves.
Jo's Strange Change[]
Jo's change
She was originally played by Shannon Chandler and later Brittany Konarzewski.
A little over halfway through season 1, the monsters are messing with Flabber's book of spells and are changing items at will. However, one of the spells hits Jo by mistake, making her have a different look and voice. As the spell was accidental, it will be undone and must wear off on its own. Flabber casts a cloaking spell that allows others to see Jo as she was until the spell is gone.
