Adaptation changes

The animated series takes a number of liberties from the original comics.

  • Richie is depicted as slightly older and wears a sweater with a large R on the front as well as trousers.
  • Dollar is more anthropomorphized with Walter Mitty like fantasies.
  • Irona The Robot Maid is given a greater presence in the series with additional duties as Richie's personal bodyguard. To fulfill that role, Irona can convert her body into various alternative modes as necessary. For instance, the moment she receives a summons from Richie, she would change her body into a jet plane mode and immediately fly to the boy.
