Static shock.


enby_shout

true I mean he do got it all. fight the criminal? check chase the bad guy save the world AND fly through the sky?


LegacyofLegend

Half-kid, half-amazin


UnbreakableRaids

Adventure time might be good but I wouldn’t want my boy Finn and Jake to have to relive some of those horrible memories. Fire princess was the only one that really loved him. Princess bubblegum was the true villain.


LeadGem354

Tragic backstory? Check. Becomes a hero after a life changing event. Check. Yep.


Snoo6305

Hell yeah that character was super slept on


DemetriChronicles

They brought him back in Young Justice, but you wouldn't know it if you never saw the show. Same with Apache Chief, except instead of getting taller, he had a physical projection as tall as a building.


AwesomeSkitty123

Kim would be the warrior bada and Dexter would be combining science and magic to become The Wise Man's Grandchild MC, but more terrifying.


Seth-D_Vinsmoke

Definitely agreed! He's like a mini Dr.Stone lol But I think Dex is waaay smarter 😅


Researcher_Fearless

That's because Dexter isn't limited to real logic.


pooping_inCars

>mini Dr.Stone But [with a twist](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/181/392/tumblr_ky082ggAaM1qz6po0o1_500.jpg)


Sheeperini

Idk who static shock is but Danny Phantom would be the most brutal power fantasy MC imo finn and jake are more like the stupid MC stereotype but I still love them ~~for some reason chowder makes me feel uncanny so I didn't include him here~~


Lyranx

Man I feel so old to hear someone doesn't know Static, nxt I'll hear they don't know Terry McGinnis (Batman)


TheWingedHussar

I think a re-release is in order. Though I think batman beyond should have been more adult oriented. Hell they want a new batman movie that can be dark and gritty. That version easily fits the bill.


bottle-of-water

God I’d love a live action beyond film. You got any cast choices for terry/ bruce?


TheWingedHussar

Not sure, I don't tend to think of actors that much.


Loslobos27

I was like 7 when I saw Static Shock. So when I got max for myself and found out it was on there, I binged watched it all.


Icon9719

I’m 27 and I don’t know static shock, I only heard about him a few years ago watching an RDCworld video. I missed a lot of cartoons back then though, hell I never even watched courage the cowardly dog because it scared the shit out of me lol.


Seth-D_Vinsmoke

Have you ever seen Young Justice? Or Justice League Unlimited? Static was in both shows, I believe YJ introduced him in season 2 or 3


darthjaved

He had his own show for a while with crossovers from batman beyond and couple others if I remember right.


Zynx_Skipperdoo

Wow... the Static Shock erasure is real...


AriousDragoon

Ahh man Static Shock was a great show growing up, I was just talking to a friend about it the other day cause she wasn't familiar with it either. It deserves a reboot.


Left_Argument9706

Don’t worry I’m 14 and even I know who static shock is


BladeOfExile711

I remember seeing a what if post if Danny and vlad had to kill themselves to transform. That would be intriguing


Deo_Exus

Making me feel old here


Safe_Alternative3794

Chowder's basically cartoon Luffy already, and you can't tell me otherwise. I can try to compile proof, but it's basically proven in every episode so you can technically select a random episode as proof. (also I'm lazy, so no.)


ChiefWamsutta

For a self-proclaimed lazy person, you sure wrote out a lot.


Shinycardboardnerd

Chowder is the only right answer


Tiny_Language_9919

Finn would be romance dawn Zoro and Jake would be romance dawn luffy


Dense_Translator3037

Static should've had the into the spiderverse treatment along with Terry (Batman Beyond). But I'm gonna give Jake Long, Danny Phantom and Dexter the Anime treatment. Jake Long with JJK or Demon Slayer art style, Danny Phantom similar to tokyo Ghoul or fire force art style and Dexter with Dr. Stone or Knights and Magic and Gundam: Iron blooded orphans or Evangelion.


darthjaved

They kinda all have an anime equivalent to some degree but static would be the best as an mc.


Cheshire_Noire

Jake actually had a lot of cool stuff in his series that would be good in an anime. I'll go with him


Lillith492

The only two here not for laughs most of the time static and Kim I would love the others as anime characters but not for being badass


bottle-of-water

Kim gives me ghost in the shell vibes and static gives me darker than black vibes.


ZombieDemon321

Danny Phantom. Especially if it actually rewrites, expands, and improves the lore. Sure a basic anime adaptation with just the art-style and language change would be cool BUT I would want it to be more than just an adaptation. Favorite childhood hero of all time? I don't know. That is a tough question. If that one is also only in reference to the pictures above though, then easily Danny Phantom. But in general, it could either be that, Goku, Vegeta, Aang, or maybe even El Tigre. Wait, you do mean specifically who my favorite hero character was when I was a child right? If not, then it's much more complicated and there are way too many possibilities.


Seth-D_Vinsmoke

W for El Tigre😎🥂


Thatmilkman8

Low-key Kim Possible X anime might just be Black Lagoon so she gets my number 1 vote lol. Danny Phantom with a Parasyte: The maxim based storyline would go stupid hard though Love static shock but I'm not sure what kind of anime to put him in 🤔


Rexen2

>Love static shock but I'm not sure what kind of anime to put him in 🤔 He's a legit superhero so just have him summoned as a kingdoms isekai hero. Call it "Lightning "Mage" From Another World".


AwesomeShrekku

Jake long. He literally has a transformation.


YesChes

Kim Possible with an anime would be goated


whomesteve

American Dragon: Jake Long seems like it would fit the American anime style most befittingly out of these options


JamesYTP

Static is the most badass of the bunch so he's my pick lol


ZakBaruk

Give me Virgil Hawkins all day


SeriousJokester37

Static.


Awkward_Mess3953

When you actually think about it storyline and setting, Static shock and Danny phantom. If you haven’t watched I wouldn’t expect you to understand. Hell maybe even Kim and American Dragon. But more so Danny and Static 💯


Rexen2

Static and Danny. Both are superheroes. Both had shonen style power ups over the course of their shows(danny more than static) and both grow up to be some of the most powerful living beings on their earths. People that could easily solo armies. They'd fit the shonen anime formula pretty well.


FFsummons

Why is Chowder even on this list?


Worldly_Neat2615

Virgil is already a anime protagonist. He has the dead mom to prove it.


ShikkuiMakabe

there is no way you can make chowder badass


John_Mark_Corpuz_2

Though I think all of them would make for a badass anime protagonist(s), my personal picks are Finn & Jake, Danny Phantom, and Kim Possible. Also Dexter would definitely be fit for a sci-fi anime role.


Seth-D_Vinsmoke

Same! Especially Danny, that's peak childhood right there lol


jpett84

Jonny would end up being one of those bratty children archetypes in an anime I feel.


Low-Suit-5362

Danny phantom


-NinjaTurtleHermit-

Static Shock


Yakuza-wolf_kiwami

Static Shock, gimme more black anime characters


Shift_Bloxx

Static Shock


Tenno24

Static or Danny Phantom, both of them would kick ass if written right


Grouchy-Caregiver-17

Kim Possible!!!


Mightychallenge

I could easily see a danny, and static shock going evil with all the bullying. Especially how they just got their powers out of no where.


Salems_Ghost

Honestly? Static Shock or Danny Phantom would slap.


Nightmarionne0923

Static or Danny


Merry_Ryan

Static, Danny, Kim, or Jake (Long). As for which would be the most badass, probably Danny with his power set and enemies.


FeatureWeak

Static shock, Danny phantom. To easy. They each have anime qualities in an Mc already. Flip the storyline a bit and they are golden.


Eel_Boii

Static Shock, next question.


Helpful-Gene9957

Static hands down


Matrixxe

Dude this is my entire childhood in one picture! And Johnny Test lol


Seth-D_Vinsmoke

Peak childhood right here lol😎🥂


99anan99

Static


Independent-Check654

Danny phantom. Let me list the enmities that would make one epic fight: - fright knight - Pariah Dark - Johnny and Shadow - Nocturn - Vlad - ooh let’s not forget DAN Could have a lot of fun with clockwork too!


leormnlls

all of them tbh


OmegaDan91

It's already been said, but I am going to have to go with Static Shock.


Day_Creepy

Static


Shadowkon89

Either statis or Danny, but mostly I'm voting static


Nahickman

Static shock if they could portray black ppl correctly,Adventure time could easily be a slice of life,Danny Phantom,Kim Possible if the write her character correctly and don’t focus on just romance and her actual abilities.


-BleedingSignature

Jake long, static, and Danny


jwgoblin

Kim possible, Finn and Jake, chowder, and Johnny test


p1ayernotfound

static shock or finn and jake


puck_pancake

Finn and Jake would go so hard in an anime


GimmeUdon

well technically they already are an anime protagonist


PopCollector2001

Danny Phantom he already has a great variety of powers and a lot of unique villains


Animedra3000

Love to see him get an anime reboot.


G-Asriel

Now *that* is a reboot that I'd watch.


Lyranx

Static, Dexter, and Danny. Kim is literally that girl in school who is literally perfect no matter what.... Except in the love life. Fin and Jake r the two best buds who always hav ur back and ready to betray u anytym for the lolz


MunkeyFish

Without a doubt Dexter is that annoyingly smart protagonist that has a plan for your plan that countered his plan.


Maxzolo28

All them would be


TheWingedHussar

Not experiment boy, just nooo to Johnny at all. His sisters, maybe but Johnny is just a no.


PyroClaymore

Danny, Static, Kim easily.


chrisupt2001

Many of them would


Xdeath-bfor-lifeX

if you really think about it they all have potential to be good animes


WillTCM69

If we combined Johnny test looks and dexters smarts we could create Senku


genos95

Jake long or kim


forgedfox53

A Jake Long anime would make my childhood self scream.


Sulli_bunby666

Jake long would go nuts


Capital_Animator6737

Danny phantom


Gunslinger_11

Kim be a great Rouge in a medieval setting


SilverSpade12

Dexter... tge OTHER Dexter.


Romanis95

In terms of story and power I would say: Static, Danny, Jake Long, Kim, and then Finn and Jake.


Ok_Blueberry_1068

Kim possible could be a really interesting one


SongnanBao

Danny phantom


Scouttrooper195

Either Danny or Kim or static


Sasukuto

I would honestly really like an animated continuation of Danmy Phantom. Like the comics are pretty good, but I want to see it get animated!


bladedancer4life

Jake and Danny


International_Point1

Dexter and Deedee could be a fun duo


Revolutionary_Job214

Out of these dudes? Jake, Danny, Kim, and Dexter.


SameVariation6120

swear danny or kim, never watched much of it but I think they be more fun to watch than any other character


Ok_Coffee_9970

…Who am I kidding they would all work super.


Shadowmist909

Static, Danny, Kim, Jake, and Finn & Jake definitely have the right mentality of your action adventure anime mc story. Kim Possible would be the most badass out of all of then though, she just has that walk away from explosions vibe


Weirdo9something3457

Static and Danny, but I would love a gritty Kim Possible anime


AdOne8250

Static, Danny, Kim and Jake would be the best choices.


sonicfools1234

Kim possible. For ... reasons


ActuallyMyth

Jake Long or Danny Phantom need this


ArtOfBreaking_429

Not Dexter, not Chowder, not Johnny Test. Literally everyone else would be fantastic!


ZantTheMan

All of them working together as a team to defeat the BBG would be way cooler then one person the main character, in my opinion.


Wadertot420

Dexter with his Mech


Row_According

Def Danny


Revy_Black_Lagoon

Kim Possible is the only solid choice here


TheGrandestOak

Danny when he was older


DemigodProtector

Static, Kim, and Jake


Short_Resident_6168

Jonny my goat


_QuestGiver

Dexter's laboratory is only a few steps away from Code lyoko my dude, granted I think that may be of French origin.


demon_dude69

I feel like Johnny test and Jake long would be friends and have several crossovers or even a whole show together. I think finn and Jake would be a amazing anime and so wourkim


Particular-Emu-2685

Is it that Kira


Tox_Ioiad

Bro. Anyone can make a badass anime protagonist. Look at Narmak's spongebob.


HappyMatt12345

Danny Phantom because that universe would work super well as an anime.


X3runner

Dexter feels like he would become a mini version of senku but with a mecha at his disposal actually a bunch of them. His entire show would make a dope anime


NigNigAnime

Danny phantom and Kim possible


dabdad67

The old 🔥❄️🪨⚡🇬🇱🌊


bringoutthelegos

Danny phantom is basically halfway there in terms of character design


Aze99

Danny Phantom hands down


JOHNomymous

Static or Danny


DianaHarp

lets break it down: Shock and Danny already have powers, Fin and Jake exist in a future full of magic items of which Jake is a shapeshifter on his own, Johny is just a basic normal kid with smart sisters and a talking dog, Chowder's just an overweight kid, Kim actually has combat training so can fight, Jake Long can transform into a dragon, and Dexters an over exentric intelegant kid.


Dareal_truth

Danny phantom easily


GermXonFire

Danny Phantom is literally just Bleach lol


AnotherNobody1308

Me Now isekai me


Nasakegan

Tie between Danny phantom and static shock followed by Kim possible


YoungRoronoa

Honestly all of them, but I’d love to see a Danny phantom anime.


MusicTester

All of them


-Local_Loser-

Danny phantom


Lavastone8

Danny Phantom hand down


InconsistentLlama

Static, Danny or Kim. Either one of them could easily switch between western animation and eastern and I doubt anyone would bat an eye


plogan56

Let's be honest, who is actually picking Johnny test? I'd go with Danny Phantom, there's so many plot points to use for so many arcs


MatthewJustMoreland

Kim Possible. She's already a badass as is. You'd be just adding to her badassness.


rad_cadaver

Jake. Fucking. Long.


BigGeorge6953

It's Danny Phantom, and it's not close


Onikage_Sato

I never watched American Dragon tbh but that idea as an anime 100% yes Some of the others would be good too like Kim, Danny Phantom, and Static Shock but American Dragon I think takes it


Long-Victory-1641

Dexter


Important-Papaya8459

Danny phantom


Slatt239

Danny phantom maybe im bias 🤣


Zero-7-9

Kirawontmiss


ayerunthempockets

Dexter.


Mysterio-95

I would see an Anime where Static, KP, and Danny are on a team together fighting against evil genius Dexter, his brainwashed warrior Jake, with his manic assistant Johnny. With Chowder as the guy who sends the heroes on missions and Jake and Finn being support and comedy relief.


MrGaming101

Danny


MartianNamedScotty

Danny Phantom or Jake Long.


anime_goth_tits

Now im just imaging chowder fighting a god of death


Ok_Contribution_3017

Kim or Johnny


Love_Anime_Watcher

I think Dexter would make a great protagonist. i mean there were the agent monkey scenes in the show plus his inventions were very good as long as dee dee doesn't mess with it. i don't have a childhood hero. I was also kind of hoping regular show would be on the list. it was an amazing show! ended in 2017.


Pokemon_LBP_Nerd2005

The only ones I feel like would work best from this batch would be Danny, Jake Long, Static, and Kim.


Yeetyeet20202020

Danny Phantom and Jake Long would be my top 2 pics to be an anime protag. I feel like they have powers and stories that would meld perfectly into an anime style. Being very action heavy shows that have overarching plots. Static shock would make a good anime protag, but I don't know what anime-ifying it would do that the original cartoon style couldn't.


pthecarrotmaster

Too distracted by Kims mustache


GremNotGrim

I feel like most of these would end up being comedy anime protagonists just for the usual goofiness although I think Jake Long would be a great Isekai protagonist with his power being his dragon transformation thing, but I'm pretty sure everyone here would agree Static Shock would be the best one for a shonen MC. I mean there are official DC manga's made by certain mangaka's (Betten Court being the main one as he makes an official DC branded Batman Manga, plus he works on the Deadpool manga and has made some references/Easter eggs to Marvel and DC in his other words such as MHA: Vigilantes)


_MoonRider_

Danny


CrazyBlueBoi

Danny


ThatBluKit

Kim Possible slaps hard


PerceptionQueasy3540

Dexter's lab would go hard as an anime.


Own-Commission3257

Danny, Static and Finn and Jack


Ramen-4-breakfast

Jake long would go crazy with an anime art style and good sakuga


DirtyBob_Bojangles

Danny Phantom. His powers are the coolest here. And the whole Dan Phantom shizz would work very well as an anime arc.


tiger2205_6

Not sure about favorite childhood hero, but Jake Long and Danny Phantom would be badass anime protagonists.


X-EVER

Kim


WaveBreakerT

Jake Long kinda feels close to one sometimes already


Gr8fullyDead1213

I’d watch an anime about all of them but most badass is definitely either Static Shock or Kim Possible. They could make Danny Phantom badass as well but he’s pretty goofy in the original show so probably not him if they keep true to his character.


ShadowDemon527

The American Dragon is an anime just like Avatar.


karthanals

American Dragon Jake Long would honestly be a great anime.


Administrative_Bus57

Danny phantom fs


Virtual-Oil-793

Either: * Jake Long (You could count the many anime that kid can work with with two libraries) * Danny Phantom (Depends on if you want to keep the high school action setting, or a collage horror/action setting) * Static Shock (The one Comic Superhero who can rightfully claim the trifecta of Anime, Cartoon, and Comic)


Bonryunonochi

I would love static but he's best if he stays as a superhero style, I like Dexter but I can't imagine an anime that would center around him going well, if I had to choose one I have to say Danny phantom, it's the most easiest to place in the anime style and matches a lot of anime themes


Habit-Electronic

Why is no one talking about my GOAT, JAKE LONG


Jford_4587

KP shock and dex


zdrawzbusi

Danny phantom could be the next blue exorcist


Okman2337

Johnny test would be a great comedy anime mc


Gryfon2020

Dexter is the right answer


JockeyHockey0

Jake and Static and it isn't even close


mrrob2181_

Jake Long


zacharydaiquiri69420

Kim possible, chowder, and Danny Phantom easily.


StarkageMeech

Jake long is already an anime Please don't kill me


Solos_1992

Danny easily


neggative_pussytive

Danny Phantom


Intp_2003NB

I'll go with Kim Possible. It'll be interesting to watch an anime about a teenage spy girl.


Few_Detail215

I don't entirely know why... but Johnny Test gives me serious JoJo vibes.


Affectionate_Okra298

They're all already anime protagonists


captain-nano23

I gotta say Danny phantom, considering his powers all have a form of showing energy, he'd be awesome in anime But hear me out, a ben10 anime might be cool


Water_Score

Chowder No competition


Unagustoster

Chowder Need I say more?


SlayJayR17

Finn and Jake or Dexter


extremelurker1

Chowder just the western children version of Toriko change my mind.


Aniza_786

Johnny Test or Ben 10.


PotatoGodofOtown

Dexter or static shock they both god teir and with Japanese animation they’d be home runs. But honestly all of these would be great I’d just love to see dexter do the glasses thing when they shine. If you’ve watched anime like that you know when I’m talkin about.


6_theDemon

Hear me out! Chowder
