He may be small, he may melt under even the slightest bit of heat, and he may ho, but Jack Frost sure isn’t going to melt under this pressure.

Today the Shinjuku underground, tomorrow the world!

Johnny Bravo

Characters » Newcomers Posted on

Whoa, mama! Johnny Bravo steps into the ring, along with his charm, dance moves, dashingly good looks, and all the music from his fellow Cartoon Network superstars he could carry with him. (And, to be fair, that’s a lot; check the pecs!) Of course, he doesn’t care about the crown itself — he’s just in it because he knows he’ll easily get the adoration of all the women in the audience… or, at least, that’s what he thinks, anyway.
