Who is Jenny?
Jenny Wakeman (also known as Robotic Global Response Unit XJ-9) is the main protagonist of the 2003 Nickelodeon cartoon, My Life as a Teenage Robot, created by Rob Renzetti and produced by Frederator Studios for Nickelodeon and started as a pilot called "My Neighbor is a Teenage Robot", which aired on Oh Yeah! Cartoons in January 5, 1999 (making the show 5 months older than SpongeBob SquarePants, which it beat in a popularity contest thanks to it's large fanbase in Latin America and Germany), much like fellow Frederator-produced cartoons, The Fairly OddParents and ChalkZone.
Jenny is a highly sophisiticated state-of-the-art sentient humanoid robot girl, who her mother Dr. Nora Wakeman, an elderly robotics scientist, built to protect the Earth with a wide range of advanced weapons and devices at her disposal, but wishes to live the life of a normal teenager, trying to balance her life with duties of a crime-fighter as she faces various bad guys such as Vexus (the leader/queen of Cluster Prime), while attending Tremorton High School and proceeding with teenage endeavors alongside her friends, Sheldon Lee (who is obsessed with her, even though she often rejects his romantic advances, but cares just as a friend), Brad Carbunkle (next-door neighbor, who is outgoing & adventurous, and the first human friend she makes) and his younger brother Tuck.
Why She Deserves to Be In?
Heck, there are many reasons on why she's easily among most requested characters alongside Jimmy Neutron, Timmy Turner and Rocko, even having all of them being called the "Holy Four" together in a fan community itself (considering my experience before deciding to create this support thread), making her pretty much Banjo & Kazooie in potential hype levels (
The show itself has proved to be very popular thanks to it's unique futuristic art-deco design aesthetics that resemble old rubber hose-era cartoons, an impressive soundtrack, quirky stuble humor consisting of shout-outs and a then-rare idea of the lead female protagonist, as it lasted for three seasons with 40 episodes (75 segments) and a special "Escape from Cluster Prime", before it ended in May 2, 2009, thus encouraging Nickelodeon to green-lit a few action/adventure-oriented cartoons such as Danny Phantom and Avatar: The Last Airbender. It received mostly positive reviews from critics, nominated for numerous awards (most prominently one Primetime Emmy Award and eleven Annie Awards, having won a former in 2004 for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation) and Jenny herself also appeared as a playable character in a few Nickelodeon-licensed games, such as Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots, SpongeBob SquarePants and the Nicktoons Gravjet Racing (which ended up being cancelled) and the official mobile game, Nickelodeon Super Brawl Universe.
Recently, Nick's Rewind block aired the weekend-long marathon of My Life as a Teenage Robot for two days (September 17 to 19) the last year, Zen Monkey Studios made some merchandise pins and a fan continuation of the series is also in works with the blessing from Rob Renzetti himself.
In the case of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, Ludosity seems to be very aware of fan requests and used to have lots of emojis based on our girl in their Discord server. Jenny is often voted at the top of fan character polls and discussed lots of times thanks to her show's vocal fanbase, which is still fondly remembered. Also, a fun thing I wanted to mention is that Ludosity has made lots of same-named characters to the point it even has it's own category right here in a wiki.
What's Her Moveset Potential?
As a super-powered robot who was built to save the world and fight crime, Jenny has quite of a massive amount of moveset possibilties, thanks to tons of powers, abilities and weapons/devices built into her body that can fit nearly any playstyle Ludosity would have in their minds. She is capable of flying in the air with rocket boosters in her pigtails and feet (potential 8-way air dash move?), using her superhuman strength to lift/throw heavy stuff (just check a size of that pyramid), sensors that allow her to sense danger, fire energy blasts from her limbs/weapons, stretch out her arms/fingers, use a ice cannon to freeze opponents, smack them up with a giant tennis racket or hammer/mallet arms, throw hair-like razor boomerangs, turn her pigtails into a giant drill, shoot missiles, et cetera (etc.). The list is just too unfairly huge to describe in it's entirety here besides all of these links, but you'll get a point.
