Power Players	comment	Power Players is a 2019 CGI-animated show produced by Zagtoon and Man of Action Studios.9-year-old boy Axel is staying with his uncle Andrew while his parents are off on a diplomatic trip. Learning from his uncle's neighbor's daughter Zoe that his uncle used to be a famous toymaker, Axel snoops around in his workshop and comes across a pair of mysterious gauntlets known as Power Bandz that attach themselves to his wrists and a mysterious locked box. A voice inside the box persuades him to open it, only for an evil toy known as Madcap to be unleashed. Also freed from the box are a team of toys known as the Power Players tasked with stopping Madcap before he can use Andrew's Minergy batteries to rule over all humans. Using the Power Bandz to transform into the toy-sized superhero Action Axel, Axel works together with the Power Players to stop Madcap and his evil schemes.In the U.S., it airs on Cartoon Network, and airs on Teletoon in Canada. It premiered in the US on September 21, 2019.

Power Players / int_116a941b	type	Applied Phlebotinum
Power Players / int_116a941b	comment	Applied Phlebotinum: Minergy. Anything coming in contact with it can acquire strange abilities once charged by it, from turning toys into "smart-toys" and turning their accessories into live potent weaponry to even accelerating natural plantlife's growth, as seen when Axel accidentally sprayed a seed with Minergy while using his Power Drone.

Power Players / int_21e5b9c7	type	Failed a Spot Check
Power Players / int_21e5b9c7	comment	Failed a Spot Check: A lot of the human characters aside from Axel and Zoe don't notice the absurd destruction caused by a bunch of oddly autonomous toys, or only notice the consequences without realizing who or what's causing it. Arguably justified given the toys are not only small, but this show also takes place within the Quantic Universe, where children giving life to their toys, superhero teams with highly advanced technology, shapeshifting town protectors or little creatures of massive destruction are not unheard of.

Power Players / int_52d1f46e	comment	Not What It Looks Like: In the first episode, Axel tells Zoe to close all the doors and windows in the house without explaining why. Shortly afterwards, he ends up in his room while properly introducing himself to the Power Players, which is the perfect moment for Zoe to check on him. Seeing him kneeling on the floor while surrounded by a toys, she accuses him of playing around while he makes her do all the work and continues doing his work. Though she comes back a second later to see that the Power Players are Living Toys and lets herself in on the secret.

Power Players / int_5a22609e	comment	Creator Thumbprint: Coming from Man of Action Studios, does a show about a 9-year-old boy staying with an adult relative and a sassy girl who is more loosely associated to them while his parents are away, he sneaks off doing something he shouldn't be doing and ends up finding a strange gauntlet that forcibly attaches itself to his wrist, gains powers and has trouble adjusting to them, and the gauntlet and the show's backstory are tied to his relative's secret past sound familiar? Also, Axel is only one year younger than Ben.

Power Players / int_ddcf4f16	comment	Sliding Scale of Living Toys: Of the "I've Got No Strings" variant. The only Living Toys in the show are the Power Players, Hardcap, and Hardcap's toys, as they are all animate because of Minergy. Doubles as the "Toy Masquerade" variant for the Power Players, who make an effort to hide their true nature from uninvolved humans. At the end of the first episode, the Power Players also celebrate their victory against Hardcap with a pizza slice from Axel, though it's not clear if they can/need to eat and if they were just celebrating.

Zoe seems to be based on Gwen Tennyson, except she is not a relative of the main character and is more nicer. Sarge Charge appears to be a cross between Major Chip Hazard and Brick Bazooka albeit benevolent and not at all xenophobic towards non-human toys.
