Nature of protagonist abilities
[edit]In episode 1, Owlette says "owl eyes" when using some kind of infravision to see in the dark, and also appears capable of limited flight or at least gliding (no catch phrase used). Gekko is also to break apart steel robot arms while shouting "super gecko musles" and to adhere to the walls saying "super lizard grip". Not sure what Catboy can do yet. Is it clarified later on whether these are tech/suit based abilities or a power they inherently posses and could use out of costume?
I noticed the summary claims this:
- they activate their bracelets, which link into their pajamas and give them fantastic super powers
While they certainly do use bracelets to change into their costumes, watching episode 1 I did not see anything to indicate that this necessarily is their power source. What if it is just armor and disguise but not how they get powers?
Is there any dialogue in the show or external descriptions which tells us this for sure? What is the source for the above-quoted claim? 184.145.18.50 (talk) 07:45, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
Yes: [1] Timeoin (talk) 05:28, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
On catboys power as asked above: I believe his is "super cat speed" and something about his stripes on occasion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.220.212.20 (talk) 07:24, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Order and leader
[edit]Is there a basis for the current order of Connor/Greg/Amaya? Is this because of Catboy/Gekko/Owlette alphaetically?
I would like to know if anyone who has seen more episodes knows if there has ever been a reference to a group leader. Like if there had to be a 'main' PJ Mask who gets more focus than the other, who that would be.
Initially I assumed Connor/Catboy due to blue reminding me of Leonardo from TMNT, but in trying to look at things neutrally, it seems like it might be Amaya/Owelette:
- she is the first introduced by the narrator in the transformation sequence
- the tower of their masks piled up has her on top
- she stands in the center, slightly ahead of the other two, when they arrived in the tower
Owlete does not stand in the center, Catboy does.
Any other indicators? Obviously hints like this wouldn't qualify us to discuss her as leader in the page itself so I'm wondering if more specific references in dialogue or descriptions do. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 11:14, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
I added a cite for "Catboy and the Shrinker" since he insists "I can still be your leader". Of course this doesn't necessarily mean he's ALWAYS the leader. They were driving the Cat Car this episode and whoever is driving their respective vehicle sits in front, so it may well be that whoever is driving the vehicle is the leader for that particular mission. Still until someone else is referred to as leader I guess we may as well only mention him. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 12:53, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Catboy seems to be the leader most of the time and yet Owlette seems to be the person to whom the leadership role falls to after Catboy SunShim (talk) 22:36, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
Their official website state Catboy/Connor is the leader: link lrovided Timeoin (talk) 05:17, 19 August 2017 (UTC) Timeoin (talk) 05:17, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
Chronology
[edit]In episode 3a "Gekko and the Ninjalinos" Owlette comments "I recognize those voices" when hearing the Ninjalinos. This indicates the PJ Masks have encountered Night Ninja before. Is this first meeting depicted in a later episode, possibly? Or is a reference to the TV series continuity being a sequel to the book series continuity? 184.145.18.50 (talk) 11:46, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
I don't think that they are released in chronological order because if you look at Wacky Floats/Romeo's Disguise and PJ robot/PJ power up you will see that these episodes aren't released in chronological order SunShim (talk) 22:27, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
Re-arming of villains
[edit]At the end of 'Owlette and the Moonball' after the Masks pop the giant Luna Ball and Luna Girl is upset, they give her a soccer ball and she goes off and plays with it. She actually leaves the Luna Magnet behind. This is a device she uses in every appearance to try and steal things from the city, to enslave butterflies, to attack the heroes, etc. Yet when Owlette discovers it, she simply leaves it out and say something like "I'll leave it here for her to come get later".
Does something like this occur in any other episodes? It seems strange for the heroes to go out of their way to give a weapon back to a villain who has a habit of using it to commit crimes. Do they want it the crimes to continue so they have a job? Or could Owlette be thinking that a show of good faith like that might cause Luna Girl to reform? If the episodes happen in chronological order then that clearly didn't work since she keeps doing crimes with the Luna Magnet in other episodes.
Have the masks ever re-armed Romeo or Ninja like this? 184.145.18.50 (talk) 21:41, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
That's weird I agree, why do they return the Luna Magnet to Luna Girl? The closest thing to re-arming Romeo is the fact that they helped Romeo get his lab back after it went haywire SunShim (talk) 15:23, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
Hero Revelations
[edit]I noticed these separated at the bottom of the short summaries. Where does this phase come from? Are these revelations spoken in the show? They do seem to resemble the moral lessons present in the show but it seems like OR to present them like this, as if they're in some kind of official capacity, without a source to back it up. If the producers do in fact specifically spell out these revelations that would be fine but I think it's going beyond reporting basic facts for us to assume we can interpret the moral lesson intended in an episode if these are in fact just being made up. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 23:55, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
The hero revelations from season one are actually said in the show along with a simpler translation of it but in season two it is just a recap of the lesson from the episode SunShim (talk) 22:35, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
Owlette's ethnicity
[edit]What's the evidence that Amaya is Chinese, as the article claims? DavidMann (talk) 20:51, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- That's a good question, I didn't even notice it. If you see anything like this you're skeptical of, it's good to add {{fact}} to challenge it. Given that it's been brought up for discussion, I'm going to remove it since it seems made-up to me, but will invite the person who introduced the information to come support it. Had to do some digging but it was added September 26 in special:diff/741191015 so @173.52.224.76: come on down. Oh dear, this is the kind of horror which can happen when people copy and paste from Wikipedia without having actually watched the show... Ranze (talk) 03:14, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
Split proposed
[edit]A split tag was added to the Episode section proposing a split to List of PJ Masks episodes.
- Oppose for now. Started this discussion per WP:SILENCE and default presumption of agreement when no opposition stated. Generally an episode article is created when we have information about episodes for the second season. With one season usually best to keep the episode list in the main article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:10, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- A second season of 52 episodes has been announced since June though, and we do have the information that it is scheduled to debut in autumn of 2018. Ranze (talk) 03:11, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- What we would like to see is a second season table started with firm scheduling info about at least the first episode of the second season. After the second season table is created then a split is appropriate. See WP:SPLIT § How to properly split an article for more about prestaging a split. The split proposed tag was the correct way to start the process. Just need to wait a bit before we do it. It is a bit premature to do it now. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:18, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- We now have episodes for S2. I would oppose a little bit. CriticismEdits (talk) 08:11, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Plot summary improvements
[edit]I'd like to point out the plot summaries and how they either a) go over the whole episode, b) sound too "energetic" and un-Wikipedialike, and c) are too long. If anyone agrees, can someone who has time please shorten the plot summaries? Palettepony895 (talk) 23:53, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- A and C are okay, per WP:TVPLOT. B is not. CriticismEdits (talk) 10:04, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Air dates
[edit]As with a lot of kids shows that air in multiple countries, as usual, not all episodes have debuted in the United States and episodes have aired early in France (and Russia with episode 26). The closest I've got to Russia (because of the YouTube video release dates) was December 2016, but if there's anyone to help get the specific French or Russian air dates, that would be appreciative. Thanks in advance. Palettepony895 (talk) 01:32, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Time Question
[edit]Serious question. With regard to their powers, how do they work? There are numerous episodes with something happening, the stopping the villain (that night), and then it still somehow being the same day. Timeoin (talk) Timeoin (talk) 07:36, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
They stop the villains that night and fix everything and then they fast forward to the next day. It isn't the same daySunShim (talk) 15:16, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
update to episodes
[edit]To be aware that episodes to be moved to a new page "List of PJ Masks episodes".
65.95.43.109 (talk) 23:00, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
How did the PJ masks get their super powers?
[edit]Are the PJ masks powers Magic? Or maybe technology? Does anyone know? I would love for someone to elaborate on this. Maybe they will they have an episode on this.SunShim (talk) 19:41, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
- Their pajamas appear to be magical. 2605:E000:2E52:FA00:3DD0:8845:1A3F:6548 (talk) 21:12, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
Armadillain
[edit]Where does it say that there's going to be a villain named Armadillain? 2605:E000:2E54:800:94F2:E95:A07E:D1F (talk) 23:27, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

[edit]... & yet the ubiquitous west-coast accents. is there a plot or setting that explains this, besides it being a marketing thing?

The information on the page that is incorrect has to do with the character Munki-Gu. The correct information is that Daniel Pathan voices the role of Munki-Gu and not Percival. This can be found on his IMDB account as well as having factual information at hand. Thanks.

Bring Owlette description in line with Catboy and Gekko
[edit]![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
The Catboy and Gekko texts in section 2.1.1 ("Members") describe what they look like before they change and also their costume and powers after they change, for example: "When he transforms, he wears a blue cat costume. His powers include super speed, super sensitive hearing, and high jump."
Owlette's only gives a description of her before she changes. I suggest we add:
"When she transforms she wears a red owl costume. Her powers include nighttime vision, the ability to fly, and the ability to make a strong gust of wind from her wings."

Characters
[edit]PJ Masks
[edit]PJ Masks (known as "PJs" for short) is the titular superhero team that fights crime at night to keep it from ruining people's days.
- Connor / Catboy (voiced by Jacob Ewaniuk in Season 1, Jacob Ursomarzo in Season 2–"Best Friends Forever", Roman Lutterotti in "Meet An Yu"–Season 4, Evan O'Donnell in Season 5, and Kai Harris in Season 6-present) – Connor is a blue-eyed boy with brown hair.

Her powers include nighttime vision, the ability to fly, the ability to make a strong gust of wind from her wings, and super feathers.
- Greg / Gekko (voiced by Kyle Harrison Breitkopf in Season 1–Season 3 and the shorts, Benjamin Hum in Season 4–Season 5, and Rain Janjua in Season 6–present) – Greg is a green-eyed, blonde-haired boy. When he transforms, he wears a green lizard costume with a thick reptilian tail and fins on top of his head. His powers are super strength, invisibility (though some may see him by noticing irregularities in the background), sticking on walls for scaling, and shields.
- PJ Robot (voiced by Juan Luis Bonilla) – A robot who is in charge of the PJ Masks' HQ. Originally created by Romeo to spy on the heroes, it defected and switched sides.
- PJ Pets - The pets of the PJ Masks.
- Alley Cat - The pet cat of Connor who later gained the same abilities as him in "Ninja Power Up".
- Owly - The pet owl of Amaya who later gained the same abilities as her in "Ninja Power Up".
- Lionel - The pet lizard of Greg who later gained the same abilities as him in "Ninja Power Up".
- PJ Riders - The spirit animals in the PJ Masks' totem who would gain solid forms to serve as their mode of transportation after the Speedy Twins destroyed their vehicles.

- Eagle Owl - Amaya's red owl-like spirit animal.
- Power Lizard - Greg's Komodo dragon-like spirit animal.
Power Heroes
[edit]By Season 6, the PJ Masks form a new superhero team: The Power Heroes, to increase crime fighting. The team includes the original PJ Masks (Catboy, Owlette, Gekko and PJ Robot), some of their superhero allies and their new allies introduced in the season.
- Dylan / Armadylan (voiced by Max Calinescu in Season 2–"Armadylan Zen", Cristian Perri in Season 3 "Arma-Leader"–"Gekko Everywhere", Avery Esteves in Season 4 "Master Fang's Secret"–"Gekko Vs Armavillain", TBA in Season 4 "Octobella's Garden"–"The Labours of Armadylan", and Vin Volpe in Season 6-present) – A strong armadillo-like boy who wants to be a hero, but his inexperience causes him to mess up, especially when he can't control his anger when some villains trick him. His abilities include super-strength, producing earthquakes, and converting to a ball to roll on surfaces or travel underground.
- An Yu (voiced by Kari Wong) – A Chinese dragon who can also take the form of a young samurai girl, and was trapped inside the Dragon Gong for 1,000 years before being freed by Night Ninja. She wields a bo staff that can also turn into a magic flute, and lives in an Oriental-themed forest which can only be entered through portals.
- Newton / Newton Star (voiced by Shomoy James Mitchell in Season 4–Season 5 and Housten Daghighi in Season 6-present) – A space boy who emerges from a freak asteroid accident. The PJ Masks first met him in space. He also appears in the daytime as a bespectacled boy who often hangs out in the Museum's Library. His powers include shields, surfing with asteroids, creating white orbs, and the ability to fly and breathe in space without any special gear.
- Ivan / Ice Cub (voiced by Nylan Parthipan) – A paraplegic classmate of Connor, Amaya and Greg who is newly moved to the city. He is nice to everyone. Ivan gained powers from an asteroid shard that fell into his pajamas, turning him into the polar bear-themed hero Ice Cub. During the day, Ivan moves around in a wheelchair and sometimes with crutches. As Ice Cub, he wears braces on his legs to help him stand up and rides on a snowboard to help him get around. His powers include super snowballs, polar bear sniff and polar bear hug.
- Lilyfay (voiced by Zoe Hatz) – A space fairy who met Newton Star after he helped her escape from Luna Girl and Motsuki and joined the Power Heroes only three episodes later. She studies asteroids and guards them from being stolen by villains and used for evil. Similar to Newton Star, her powers include creating white orbs, flight, surfing with asteroids and breathing in space, but she can also create stellar snow and charge crystals with her power.
- Bastet (voiced by Michaela Mohamud) – Also known as "The Sun Cat", an ancient Egyptian serval-themed heroine that was magically created to fight Pharaoh Boy. She joined the Power Heroes after Catboy and An Yu (mostly Catboy) mistook her for a villain working with Pharaoh Boy, but the three worked together to defeat him. Her main power is the Sun Disc, a weapon composed out of pure light that can be used as shield, teleportation, throwing disc and for heat.
Allies
[edit]- Teeny Weeny Ninjalino (voiced by Rob Tinkler) – A tiny and cute ninja who was supposed to spy on the PJ Masks, but won Owlette and Gekko's affection.
- Santa Claus (voiced by Ron Pardo) – Santa is the jolly man who appeared in "The PJ Masks Save Christmas." where he teamed up with the PJ Masks.
- Orticia (voiced by Markeda McKay) - A humanoid plant girl who can control and grow plants. The ancient seed that she came out of was stolen and planted by Romeo whose original plan was to make her his henchman. But she defected and decided to go her own way. As of "Pondweed Party", Orticia learned the true meaning of friendship, reformed, and became friends with the PJ Masks.
- Baby Pumpkins - Three pumpkins that work for Orticia after she stole them from Gekko's garden.
- Pirate Robot (voiced by Wyatt White) - A robot accidentally created by Romeo to find fabulous treasures like a real pirate ever since some of Night Ninja's pirate props fell on in. Prior to this incident, Romeo wanted it to be his chef as he was getting sick of the cooking that Robot does. He refers to Owlette as his pirate queen. As of "Owlette, the Pirate Queen", he shifted from villain to hero.
Villains
[edit]- Romeo (voiced by Emily Thorne in Season 1, Carter Thorne in the shorts and Season 2–"Owlette Slips Up", Simon Pirso in "Motsuki the Best"–Season 4, and Callum Shoniker in Season 5–present) – A mad scientist who plans on world domination with all the inventions he creates. He is depicted as a genius.

- Robette (voiced by Kirrilee Berger) - A female counterpart of Robot.
- Toolbox – A walking toolbox who works with Romeo, and in case of making inventions Toolbox carries Romeo's tools.
- Spy-Bot – A cubical bot that works for Romeo, who often used Spy-Bot to spy on the PJ Masks.
- Fly Bots – Small, flying robots which resemble PJ Robot before he reformed and regularly guard Romeo's Sky Factory.
- Naughty Bots - Naughty Bots are robots disguised as presents, but they destroy everything related to Christmas like presents and Christmas decorations
- Robo-PJ Masks - As the robotic versions of the PJ Masks, they all have the same powers but with the addition of paralyzing laser eyes.
- Luna Girl (voiced by Brianna D'Aguanno) – A moon-themed villain with platinum blond hair who lives in a palace on the moon. In "Best Friends Forever", it is revealed that her Luna Magnet powers give her the power to breathe in space. Her main weapons are her Luna Magnet and Luna Board which she uses as a mode of transportation.
- Motsuki (voiced by Hattie Kragten) - An anthropomorphic moth whom Luna Girl regards as a little sister. Originally unnamed and one of Luna Girl's army of small moths, Motsuki was granted a special position among her fellow minions as well as a name by her big sister. She was later cocooned in crystal where she evolved into her current form as well as developed the ability of speech. Sometimes, Luna Girl and Motsuki would butt heads over certain plans
- The Moths (vocal effects provided by in Season 1 "Catboy's Cloudy Crisis"-"Owlette and the Moon-Ball" and Stephany Seki) - The minions of Luna Girl.
- Night Ninja (voiced by Trek Buccino in Season 1, Devan Cohen in the shorts and Season 2–"Do the Gekko" and Jacob Soley in "Armadylan, Action Hero"–present) – A ninja. He uses partially-dried latex balls called Sticky Splats to trap his opponents and smoke bombs to teleport from one place to another. He is also acrobatic and can perform telekinesis.

Their only power is shouting out red energy rings which would blow away things in a gale-like fashion. The Wolfy Kids often make plans to become full wolves, which Kevin does achieve for a short time. In "Good Wolfy", Kevin becomes a good wolfy, and naturally he is different from the other two.
- Octobella (voiced by Michela Luci) – An octopus-themed girl who lives in her lair in the moat. Upon meeting the PJ Masks at first, she appears interested in becoming friends with them. But when she learned that Gekko obtained a crystal from her abode and develop some powers, she sees them as thieves and becomes their enemy. Her abilities include throwing underwater tornadoes, invisibility, making various spells using crystals, hypnotizing people to play using glowing orbs, and sonic screams, and giving others the ability to breathe underwater.
- Percival (voiced by Rob Tinkler) - A mumbling lobster who is Octobella's henchman.
- Munki-gu (voiced by Daniel Pathan) – A mischievous little monkey who loves to cause trouble, play, and prank on others. He was once zapped into a stone statue for 1,000 years by a sorcerer as a punishment for being too naughty, however, he was freed by Gekko after he patted on his head 3 times by accident. His powers include imitating other people's voices, flying with his magical boots, and pulling an infinite amount of bananas out of nowhere.
- Pharaoh Boy (voiced by Christian Campbell) - The mummy of a mystical young pharaoh who came through a portal discovered on a Sphinx statue at the museum that comes from "The World Beyond". When he first met the PJ Masks, he started to be bossy towards them and take control of their powers and do what he wants them to do using his Staff of Ra. His Staff of Ra is the source of his powers just like An Yu's bo staff. Unlike An Yu, he has his powers work everywhere and never loses them. Just like Romeo, he also plans on world domination. He often uses archaic terms to refer to places in the modern world, like "chariot" for "car", and "kingdom" for Tarabiscoville.
- The Speedy Twins - Carly (voiced by Emma Ho) and Cartoka (voiced by Ian Ho) are a duo of twin speedy siblings from the world of Zoomzania and are the arch-enemies of Catboy. They have a Flashcar combined with PJ Mask's original three vehicles that they stole in "Carly and Cartoka" and they had them until the PJ Riders helped them retrieve them.
