Characters

Main Party

• Ash (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) - a slightly aggressive and quite spunky teenager who is chosen by Mega Man to wield the Aegis Blade as she travels to six Warner Bros worlds to recover the six cores as she begins to learn how the new forms her blade can take works and learns what is truly behind the Cog threat.
• Sylvester Pussycat (voiced by Joe Alaskey) - a quite unfortunate and unlucky cat who is one of Mega Man's elite guards as he is a shockingly skilled long ranged fighter, using two flintlock pistols to fight, joining Ash in her quest to recover the six cores so the world can function again.
• Tweety Bird (voiced by Bob Bergen) - an innocent young canary that is also working for Mega Man as he can use magic to heal Ash in the heat of combat as he also joins Ash and Sylvester in traversing the six worlds in order to recollect the cores and stop this Cog threat.

Temporary Party

These are characters temporarily in your party, with all of them being either Capcom or Warner Bros characters.

• Bruce Wayne/Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy) - the CEO of Wayne Enterprises who is secretly Gotham City's bat-suited protector, as he meets Ash, Sylvester and Tweety during their arrival in Gotham, and helps them find one of the cores, learning that it's in the Joker's hands and that he is using it to create a gigantic weapon of destruction.
• Frodo Baggins (voiced by Elijah Wood) - a young and naive yet humble Hobbit from the Shire who is entrusted by Gandalf to take the One Ring of Sauron to be destroyed in Mount Doom, for which he also gets help from Ash, Sylvester and Tweety during their arrival in Middle Earth, although he is unaware of their true intentions of why they are at Middle Earth.

• Bubbles (voiced by Tara Strong) - the naive yet sweet-natured and sometimes way too soft and dumb member of the Powerpuff Girls, as she also welcomes Ash and her party, finding Tweety rather cute, while helping Ash try and find the Core in their world, figuring it must be important at least somewhat.
• Buttercup (voiced by E.G. Daily) - the brave and tomboyish yet short-tempered and not so bright member of the Powerpuff Girls, as she also welcomes Ash and her party, while helping them try and find the Core in their world, not being surprised that Mojo Jojo got his grubby little hands on it.
