The Cast

Recurring characters. The Eagle is the same Eagle every week — that's harder than it sounds — and each opponent brings their own.

The Eagle
Brentwood Academy · Home · since Vol. 1

The Eagle #26

  • Wears 26 for the season, not a roster spot — though he wore 71 in Vol. 1, before the kit was settled
  • Taped forearms, bare talons, no helmet
  • Beak stays closed
  • The same Eagle every week — the hardest thing in the series
The Bruin
Brentwood High · Opponent · since Vol. 1

The Bruin #53

  • A real bear, not a bird in a jersey — the only opponent so far who walks on all fours
  • Brentwood High blue and white, 53 on the back
  • Met the Eagle on Granny White Pike, then took the road home
  • Survives only as the reel's own thumbnail; the reel was made before any of this was written down
The Hawk
St. Joseph's Prep · Opponent · since Vol. 2

The Hawk #24

  • Rust-red fanned tail feathers — canon, and the thing that stops him reading as a second eagle
  • Long trailing forearm feathers
  • Maroon jersey, grey 24
  • Never redrawn
