Henry Danger is an American superhero situation comedy television series airing on Nickelodeon. The series was created by Dan Schneider and Dana Olsen. It stars Jace Norman as Henry, Cooper Barnes as Captain Man, Riele Downs as Charlotte, Sean Ryan Fox as Jasper, and Ella Anderson as Piper.
Plot
Henry Hart is a 13-year-old boy who lives in the town of Swellview. He lands a part-time job as Kid Danger, a sidekick to the superhero well known in Swellview as Captain Man. Captain Man tells Henry not to tell anybody about his job, so he keeps it a secret from his best friends Charlotte (though she eventually learns the secret) and Jasper, his parents, and his younger sister Piper. Henry goes to a shop called "Junk 'n' Stuff", which has a secret lair called the Man Cave hidden underneath where Captain Man does his work. Captain Man says he will not be around for long and needs help; soon enough, he will need someone to take his place when he is gone (meaning Henry will take over one day).
Characters
Main
- Henry Hart (Jace Norman) is a 13-year-old boy who becomes the sidekick of Captain Man. He is an average kid with awesome friends and a sweet after school job as Captain Man's superhero sidekick. Thanks to his skills and super cool gadgets, Kid Danger has no problem helping Captain Man on his missions. He will always be with his friends even if he has to go save the world.
- Captain Man (Cooper Barnes) is a superhero who trains Henry. About 25 years ago, Ray Manchester's scientist father Dr. Carl Manchester accidentally pulled a lever on a machine that Ray crashed into when riding his skateboard causing him to be indestructible and yet can still feel some pain for a short time. Now he is a crime-fighting superhero. He needed a sidekick, so he chooses Henry. Captain Man's Man-Cave is located underneath "Junk 'n' Stuff." Ray is shown to have a crush on Mrs. Hart despite the fact that she is married.
- Charlotte (Riele Downs) is one of Henry's best friends. She is sarcastic, clever, and super smart. She is the "sass master" of the bunch, always there to snap everyone back to reality. She and Henry have been best friends for a long time and therefore she is close enough to him to tell it like it is. She is a big fan of Captain Man. In the fourth episode, Charlotte figures out Henry's secret and gets a job as Henry and Ray's manager.
- Jasper (Sean Ryan Fox) is one of Henry's best friends. He is full of ideas, but most of them are pretty bad. He has been Henry's best friend since preschool. He is a bucket collector who always embarrasses Henry and Charlotte. He also asks a lot of questions and is a big fan of Captain Man as well.
- Piper (Ella Anderson) is Henry's bratty little sister who is a fan of Captain Man. She and Henry are not that close.
