Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 - January 7, 1943) is one of the main characters of Super Science Friends and a master of electricity.

He is voiced by Hayden Finkelshtain.

Appearance
Described by himself as "tall and thin," Nikola Tesla is the tallest of the Super Science Friends. He wears a brown suit with a matching brown tie and has short, middle-parted black hair. His face is notably angular and adorns a mustache. He claims his blue eyes are a result of his natural-born genius. He also used to wear an ultra-security belt (so he won't get pantsed again), but it was stolen by Edison at the end of the second episode.

Personality
Tesla is awkward, and attempts to be serious. He can be considered as 'comic relief' or a 'punching bag' of the group.

He is voluntarily celibate, yet still romantic with his pigeon, going so far as to set up a dinner date with her.

In Episode 6, he is a courageous, handsome hero with a stereotypically 'radical' voice. Because it is confirmed that this episode portrays the characters as they see themselves, we can assume this is how Tesla believes he presents himself to others.

Abilities

 * Flight
 * Channeling electric currents

Thomas Edison
Edison was Tesla's former employer and current rival. Initially having a normal employer-employee relationship, they grew colder toward each other as Edison did more and more things to shatter Tesla's trust: turning his show at the Chicago Show fair into a fiasco, lying to him to create numerous patents for a large sum of money (and pretending the deal was actually just that he didn't understand "American humor"), and stealing as many of Tesla's patents and pantsing him by any means necessary.

Trivia

 * He is 42 in the show.
 * Brett Jubinville purposely made him geeky and awkward because he wanted to subvert the common trope of Tesla being portrayed as a 'badass.'
 * According to his guide on how to become a genius (based on things the real-life Tesla either did, said or believed):
 * He squeezes each toe 100 times before going to sleep, so the blood is pushed from his feet to his brain.
 * He provided the Soviet Space Ghouls with their weapons, deciding to sell his death ray to the Russians when the Americans didn't want to buy them.
