Charlie Simmons was one of [[Robo|Robo's]] friends and fellow pilot during his time with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Tigers Flying Tigers] in 1940. He was a known alcoholic, often challenging Robo to drinking contests, much to the fact that Robo doesn't have a mouth or a digestive system.

==Hosni Mubarak==
{{First|Atomic Robo and the Fightin' Scientists of Tesladyne}}
The president of Egypt made an appearance during a mission when Robo and his team of [[Action Scientists]] had to subdue a hostile, mechanical pyramid before it destroyed the city of Luxor.

==Carl Sagan==
{{Main|Carl Sagan}}
{{First|Atomic Robo and the Fightin' Scientists of Tesladyne}}

==Stephen Hawking==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Parsons Jack Parsons] was an occultist rocket propulsion researcher who created a magic-powered spaceship and flew it over Southern California in 1947. Robo was able to stop him before the faulty design of the rocket caused it to crash into the city.

==Howard Philips Lovecraft==

==Rex Cannon==
{{First|Atomic Robo and the Revenge of the Vampire Dimension}}
A slightly pompous, smug prospective employee of [[Tesladyne]], his experience as a Marine and a Navy Seal as well as multiple PhD's in advanced, unknown fields piqued Robo's interest... until he got dragged down a pit of hungry vampires and presumably killed, serving as a catalyst for [[Action Scientists#Alpha Team|Bernard Fischer]] getting hired.

==Helen McAllister==
{{First|Atomic Robo and the Deadly Art of Science}}
Helen is [[Jack Tarot]]'s daughter. She is rather brash, speaks her mind easily, and is quick-tempered, but is very decisive and has quick and nimble fingers.
