Plot
Characters
- Chuck Adoodledoo — Chuck Adoodledoo inherited Golden Egg Securities from the master who disappeared via mysterious circumstances, and has made it his mission to find him again. Chuck is the clumsiest chicken on Rocky Perch Island, and the least likely hero you’d ever meet. That was, until he received the master’s mystical talisman, an object that bestows the wearer with amazing Kung Fu abilities. In the guise of his alter ego, Kung Fu Chicken, he protects the inhabitants of Rocky Perch from Dr. Mingo and the many other villains that lurk around the island. In his role as Kung Fu Chicken, Chuck has many amazing abilities, but still relies on his best friends, Flick and Wing, to get him out of trouble when things go wrong, and since they go wrong frequently, Flick and Wing are kept very busy indeed.
- Flick Feathers — Flick Feathers is a beautiful, feisty white Dove with attitude. She’s the real “brain” of the team and the character that is most likely to find a solution, or come up with a brilliant plan to save the day. Flick treats her work very seriously, and likes to be diligent in everything she does. Unfortunately, she works with two of the messiest, clumsiest birds on Rocky Perch island: her two best friends, Chuck and Wing. Flick is a Kung Fu expert with incredible speed and acrobatic abilities that she often uses to get her friends out of trouble. Flick is also an expert with her throwing ring, a device that she can hurl with pinpoint accuracy.
- Wing Span — Wing Span is an outgoing, friendly Hornbill, and the dreamer of the group. H’s also an enthusiastic, amateur inventor, who is forever building strange devices that never actually work in the way he originally intended. Although he’s a little scatty, it doesn’t stop this optimistic bird from creating even more hair-brained contraptions to aid him and his friends in their security work. Wings is the shortest, stockiest member of the team, and like his friends, he’s a Kung Fu expert. Wing uses his gadget-packed wooden staff to make up for his lack of height and maneuverability.
- Dee, Don and Mex — Dee, Don and Dex are a family of ducks that have been cyber-enhanced with robotic technology, making each duck super strong and super fast. Dee is one of Chuck Chicken's archenemies, who had been searching & researching the Magic Egg for years, and his brothers Don and Dex are on a mission to be the richest birds on Rocky Perch Island. However, to do this they've got to be able to successfully steal valuables from under the noses of Golden Egg Securities. They first appear at 'The Magic Egg'. They appear at 10 episodes.
- Dr. Mingo — Dr Mingo is another of Chuck Chicken’s archenemies and a criminal mastermind when it comes to technology. He’s a megalomaniac, out to rule the island of Rocky Perch and its inhabitants, and uses his incredible creations to perform spectacular robberies. Dr. Mingo is a bad-tempered character that turned his back on his peace loving Flamingo family to pursue a life of crime. He doesn’t like the colour pink, and hates any jokes or reference to his pink feathers. Dr Mingo inhabits a secret laboratory in the center of the island’s dormant volcano with his two Hench-birds Pen and Guin. Since Golden Egg Securities have started foiling his crimes, Dr. Mingo has become obsessed with finally capturing that pesky hero, Kung Fu Chicken, and his meddling friends.
- Pen and Guin — Pen and Guin are a pair of mischievous twin penguins that work for Dr Mingo. The terrible twins come from the Antarctic, but miss the cold so much, they have to wear specially constructed suits that keep them nice and cold at all times. They also wield Ray Guns that freeze their opponents into solid blocks of ice. They appear at 6 episodes, with Dr Mingo.
- Sinister Emperor - A bad vulture who first appears at "The Road of Danger". When Chuck banished him, he got his new power. The Black Egg. He got defeated by Chuck because his gold egg was 1000 times powerful.
