Adam Lyon

Adam M. Lyon is the protagonist from the Cartoon Network animated series . He is the 11-year-old student at Charles Darwin Middle School and the only human, among 3,451 other animal students. Adam's gym partner and best friend is Jake Spidermonkey, who, though rarely loyal, is his only ally in the warzone of his school. Adam is downtrodden, disheartened, and emotionally distraught, with his predominantly-animal middle school, constantly torturing him with their avant-garde method of learning. Still, however, Adam still stands up for himself and can be determined and strong willed trooper, who comes out on top of every fight with bigger animals, and passes his off-the-norm classes with flying colors. He walks out of school every day alive, in good health, albeit teetering on the borderline of sanity.

Adam had a major role in the first My Gym Partner's a Monkey Christmas special, "Have Yourself a Joyful Little Animas", where he was apparently the only one who didn't get the memo that today was the first day of the national five-day-long holiday event, Animas. Apparently, Animas is a surprise holiday that happens on a random day, once every year and all animals have the collective instinct to know when it begins and what to do on it. Adam, on the other hand, being a human, does not come equipped with these natural instincts and has completely missed the boat on the first Animas day celebration.
