Edison
Edison Lee is not your average ten-year-old. His obsession with politics and the ironies of life is reflected in his many inventions and his often pointed interactions with members of the establishment.

Don
Don Lee is Edison's father. While Don is extremely proud of his son's unusual gifts, he's often perplexed by his musings. Don works hard to instill in Edison his same hardworking, middle-class American values.

Carol
Carol Lee, an educator, is Edison's mother. She's the politically correct member of the family and the juggler of the family's day-to-day needs.

Orville
Orville Lee is Edison's paternal grandfather. After a full day of fussing over his medications or complaining about his latest doctor’s visit, Orville likes to unwind in front of the television watching game show reruns.

Joules
Joules is Edison's delightfully naive laboratory assistant, aka lab rat. His only knowledge of the outside world is filtered through Edison's sociopolitical perspective.
