A genius at high-tech, computers, electronics, sound equipment and laser-effects, in his early 20's. He works for Eric and creates gadgets for the Misfits and the Stingers. He doesn't care if his gadgets are used for evil purposes as long as they work as he meant them to. And usually his gadgets end up causing alot of trouble for Jem and the Holograms. Still Jem and the Holograms have never seen him and have no idea who he is. He is not very social, he hangs out in his "Rathole", and does not like to be touched, until he meets Minx who is the one person who he has allowed to come close to him. Techrat isn't aware of Synergy, but knows that Jerrica has some kind of technical device.

See Techrat's inventions on it's own page here.

Replaces Zipper, but Zipper does appear in two episodes after Techrat first appears.

He actually gets an episode named after him "Trick Or Techrat".

Eric's original helper. A very cruel and heartless thug. Where Techrat would use clever gadgets to help Eric and the Misfits disturb Jem and the Holograms, Zipper was alot worse. He was ready to do just about anything for a flat fee, whenever Eric needs help sabotaging for Jem and the Holograms.

Whenever the Misfits weren't around to cause trouble, he added that extra bit of danger to the episodes.

Was originally named "Perve".

Changes haircolor after some episodes from blonde to black. Disappears from the show after the episode "Hot Time In Hawaii" where he is arrested by the police.

One of the punks that works with Zipper on kidnapping Jem and the Holograms. He doesn't appear to be very bright.

Flak

One of the punks that works with Zipper on kidnapping Jem and the Holograms.

He only makes a quick appearance in one single clip, but was originally meant to appear more than that.

No one knows what Flak would look like, probably not look like this picture. Because this more likely Tork (or Buster) with the wrong character model which is really one of Rio's roadies. But because Flak was a planned character for this scene, and this character model was used here, I declare him Flak.
