The world of Disney’s “Big City Greens” is filled with plenty of colorful characters.
From the wholesome and the wacky to the cunning and even the cruel. But while we’ve already ranked
the characters on their morality in order to find the goodest of the good as well as
the worst of the worst, we have to wonder: who are the most powerful characters in Big City?
I’m Brad with WickedBinge and this is Big City Greens: Weak to Powerful.
As always, we’re going to be starting with the weakest characters before working our way up
to the most powerful. We can’t mention all of the characters, as Big City Greens has a pretty
huge cast - especially when it comes to its minor characters - but we’ll try to mention
as many as we can. Additionally, we won’t just be looking at physical strength or fighting skill.
We’re also going to be incorporating each character’s intelligence, influence and
any resources they may have into their ranking. With all that out of the way, let’s get started.
The title of Weakest Big City Greens character has to go to the former CEO,
Chip Whistler. Now, if we had done this list before the episode “Chipocalypse Now”,
we likely would have placed Chip somewhere in the upper half of this list. After all, as the CEO of
Wholesome Foods, Chip had access to a ton of cash, an army of reinforcements and even things like a
wrecking ball and a tank that shot out coffee. Unfortunately for him, Chip lost all of these
things after he was defeated by Cricket and the rest of the Greens for the final time,
getting fired from his CEO position and banished from Big City in the process.
Outside of his lost status, Chip doesn’t really have much. He isn’t very strong, getting his
butt kicked pretty easily by Gloria and often needing his workers to do everything for him.
Cricket was even able to pin him down, and while Cricket may apparently be really dense in terms of
body weight, he’s still just a ten year old. So, yeah, kiiiinda pathetic that Chip wasn’t strong
enough to push Cricket off him. Really, the only thing Chip has going for him is his durability.
With how often he gets hurt or injured, it’s kind of impressive that the only parts of him that get
seriously injured are his teeth. At the time of writing, we aren’t sure if Chip will ever return
to Big City or regain any sort of power, but for right now, he lands at the bottom of our list.
Up next we have the friend trio Kiki, Wheezy and Benny. We’re putting these three together
not just because they share the same role - that being secondary friends to the show’s
main trio of Cricket, Tilly and Remy - but they also have the same amount of power in a sense.
They’re just ordinary average kids who don’t really have any noteworthy strengths,
skills or resources. The only slight exception to this is Benny who could possibly have a bit
of influence on others thanks to both his cuteness and his popular Ding Dong account.
Then again, with how fast the internet works, who knows if he’s even still popular?
Our next character is the ever-loyal Phoenix. Being the Green family dog, Phoenix is friendly,
protective and brave, always looking out for her family - especially Cricket. Being around 10 years
old, Phoenix spends most of her days sleeping and lazily scratching at fleas. When the Greens are
away though, she takes her role as ‘queen’ of the farm animals very seriously, doing all she can to
look after them and stay out of trouble. Because of her age, she can sometimes struggle physically.
This was seen when Phoenix lost her first with the rooster, Cogburn. However, for what she may
sometimes lack in strength, Phoenix makes up for in determination and nobility. She’s
an excellent leader for the other farm animals, which in turn allows them to act as her allies,
and she still has enough life in her to intimidate other dogs. We felt that this was enough to earn
her a spot that, while still low, was at the very least higher than other characters.
Following her is the always fun Nancy Green. First appearing halfway through season one,
Nancy is easy-going and just a bit mischievous. One of her most notable traits - as well as one
of her strongest skills - comes from her being a motorcyclist. She was the fastest
in her former gang, the Stingers, and even after several years of not racing,
Nancy still proved that she could be both fast and clever while on the road. Nancy is also a fighter.
Though not professionally trained, she’s still willing to stand up for and protect her family. We
even see her manage to kick over a statue in the hopes of slowing down Chip during “Chipocalypse
Now”. Nancy was also able to show off her baseball skills in the episode “Bat Girl”, being able to
throw pitches that were pretty much unstoppable. But then again she was an adult playing against
children so we can’t give her too many points. At the very least, it shows how physically
fit she is, even if she isn’t particularly muscular like other characters on this list.
We’re going to be placing Gloria next on our list. It took quite a bit for Gloria to find her footing
when it came to city life. Being fresh out of college, Gloria often struggles financially,
being forced to work a dead-end job at Big Coffee and living in a tiny one room apartment for most
of the series. She does show off a few positive strengths though. When she and Cricket go on a
coffee bean-retrieving mission, we learn that Gloria took Tae Kwon Do and youth soccer as a
young girl. She’s then able to use the skills she learned from both to help take Chip Whistler down.
Although her fighting skills ultimately weren’t enough to win a fight against Chip’s guards in
“Chipocalypse Now”, her martial arts moves still aren’t something to take lightly. Additionally,
Gloria is an incredibly hard worker, and while she may be stressed out under the surface,
she doesn’t let it impact her performance. It’s ultimately her
determination to continue working hard for her dreams that wins her Alice’s favor,
allowing her to start her own business. Though her cafe is still in its beginning stages,
having her own business is still very impressive - and with how much people in
Big City love their coffee, it could eventually prove to be a pretty fruitful business too.
From one business owner to another, we have Gwendolyn Zapp next. Gwendolyn is a character
who is mostly known for two things - her tech and her insanity. Although this list is more focused
on power than intelligence, we should mention that Gwendolyn’s brain, for as kooky as it is,
is still probably her greatest asset. Her company, Big Tech, is one of the most affluent companies in
Big City. Gwendolyn’s tech itself is pretty much on the level of sci-fi, and as such she’s able to
do both a lot of good and a lot of damage. She has rockets that can easily take her to Mars,
numerous robots and AIs that can assist her, and software that can eliminate people’s flaws.
The third season’s Halloween special also saw her develop a growth hormone that ended up creating an
army of monstrous mutated pumpkins. It’s a bit scary to think that this is just the tech that
we’ve seen from her on screen. Who knows what kind of programs or weapons she’s developed offscreen?
What ultimately keeps Gwendolyn and her tech from being ranked any higher, however, is how often
things go wrong with her machines or experiments. As smart and powerful as Gwendolyn might
seem on the surface, it doesn’t matter too much when a glitch, a system error or a hidden weakness
can easily take her and her tech out. So, we had to place her towards the middle of our list.
We finally reach another member of the Green family with the next character on our list,
Tilly Green. Being a bit of a pacifist, we don’t often see Tilly being physical too often, being
more likely to use her brain or her well-spoken words to win. However, that doesn’t mean that
Tilly isn’t strong, far from it even. One of Tilly’s most well-known and strongest powers
is her animal magnetism. Although originally taken as some sort of quick joke about Tilly being a bit
weird, she seems to legitimately have a strong connection to animals, to the point where she
can both sense them and telepathically communicate with them. This is seen in episodes like “Tilly’s
Goat” and “Mama Bird”, however it seems to only work with animals and not humans, as she
failed to telepathically connect with her friend, Andromeda. Tilly can, however, briefly hypnotize
people - like she did in the episode “Sellouts”. As for her purely physical skills, Tilly was able
to defend herself pretty well against the mutant pumpkins in “Squashed”, and though she didn’t want
to throw any punches herself, Tilly was able to tire her opponent out and win an award in boxing.
Overall, Tilly has quite a lot going for her, but while her mental strength is admirable,
it can’t always compare to physical strength, hence why she ultimately lands here.
Stepping away from the Green Family for a moment, we have the head of the Big City Community Center,
Community Sue. Given that she’s a coach, it’s only natural that she would be pretty skilled
at sports herself. Outside of her large, buff physique, we learn in the episode
“Winner, Winner” that Sue competed and won trophies in several sporting competitions.
Sue is also a good teacher, able to offer advice relating to both athletics and life itself,
as we see when she helps Cricket with his feelings regarding Gabriella as well as
when she helps Gloria improve her crepes and accept constructive criticism. Really,
her only notable weakness - beside her having no indoor voice whatsoever - is her lack of talent
as a kids baseball coach specifically. Though not terrible, her crumbling under the taunts
of her rival coach was just a bit embarrassing. But putting this episode aside, Sue manages to
be a pretty impressive force that’s able to run the Community Center in a tough but fair way.
Next up is Big City’s prime police officer, Officer Keys. Though fairly incompetent
at his job at times, Keys manages to be both a decent cop and a decent threat when he
wants to be. Really, nowhere is this better seen than in the episode “Green Streets”.
Once Keys gets serious, he’s able to keep up with someone as fast as Cricket and is even able to
jump over buildings with ease. This isn’t the only time Keys has shown a lot of skill and strength
though. Like most cops, he knows how to kick down doors without seriously injuring himself,
and he was able to tackle Nancy in “Chipocalypse Now” with relative ease, not even needing to
lift his arms. Between his decent amount of strength and his authority as an officer,
Keys does have quite a bit of power. However, because he tends to be clueless
and easily persuaded so often, we felt that we had to knock him down a few spots.
Ranked just a couple spots above Tilly is coincidentally enough her younger brother, Cricket
Green. If we’re being honest, Cricket is probably the physically strongest child character in the
show. Though he’s not exactly picking fights with people, Cricket is incredibly agile and scrappy,
having the skill to make it through a football camp obstacle course and having the upper-body
strength to easily climb trees. Cricket was also able to use an ordinary kite to take out a trio
of drones in an impressive show of skill. Adding to his agility is his talent at parkouring, as we
see him demonstrate multiple times in the episode “Little Buddy”. Cricket is also pretty tough and
durable, able to walk off injuries that most kids wouldn’t be able to. His determination also boosts
his strength quite a bit, allowing him to push his limits and accomplish what seemed like the
impossible. He was able to win a fight against Alice (definitely not an easy task) in order
to earn himself a spot on the family quilt, and he ate a giant sundae all by himself so
that his family could have a free meal. Finally, while he’s not exactly the smartest Green around,
Cricket does have his moments of cleverness, being a very skilled manipulator despite his young age.
All of these traits earn him a fairly high spot on our list. However, there are still several
adults - and even one more child character - that outrank him in terms of overall power.
Entering our top five, we have Bill Green. Being a hardworking farmer, it should be no
surprise that Bill is as strong and durable as he is. Being the biggest of the main characters,
he’s often shown lifting the other character with ease. While yes, this is mostly due to his kids
and mother being much smaller than him, it’s still impressive. Besides, we do see him lift or toss
around others who ARE in his weight class, like the deer that got out on the freeway or Chip’s
construction workers in “Chipocalypse Now”. His most impressive feat of strength, however, was
when he was able to hold up several heavy store shelves. While he may have still needed
help escaping from underneath the shelves, the fact that he was able to hold them up at all is
noteworthy. Bill can also be pretty wise when it comes to things like gardening and farming,
home improvement and trapping. We should also mention his agility - though it’s not
as impressive as Cricket’s due to his age, Bill was able to take up his persona of
Backflip Bill once again, having the agility needed to pull off a decent floor routine.
Not very many heavy-set, middle aged adults can do that, so we still think it’s impressive.
While a couple things may hold him back, such as his age and his occasional awkwardness,
Bill still managed to be one of most powerful characters in the show just on raw strength alone.
Just barely missing out on the Podium of Power is Alice Green. Honestly, if Alice were just a
bit taller and a bit younger, she’d probably be even higher on this list. But for what it’s worth,
her elderly age doesn’t stop her from being a total powerhouse. It’s heavily implied that
Alice fought in one of the great wars, so not only is Alice a fighter - but she’s a military-level
trained fighter. She knows how to be stealthy, set traps and wield weapons, with her favorite being
her trusty sword as well as her cane. Her age also gives her very little trouble most of the time.
According to her doctor, she’s one of the healthiest people that he’s ever seen. She’s able
to keep up with an intense Zumba class and can eat a whole Sultan Pepper - which is said to be hotter
than 7,000 suns - in one bite. Finally, Alice’s driving skills, though a bit reckless, are also
pretty impressive - enough for her to escape and destroy Crunch-a-saurus. Overall, while she may
not be in her prime, Alice shows that even older people can pack quite a punch when they want to.
The Bronze Medal of Power is going to Remy Remington. Yeahhh, this is where resources and
financial power play a huge role in our ranking. On the surface, Remy is pretty weak - the fact
that he needs a bodyguard to keep him safe is essentially proof of this. In addition to not
being very physically strong, agile or fast, Remy can also be pretty sensitive and emotional, often
crumbling under stress, and is easily manipulated by social media and influencers like Itchaboi. But
what Remy lacks in muscle, he’s able to make up for in a few key areas. The most obvious
example is of course his wealth. Being a rich kid, Remy is often shown buying things with his
‘allowance’, not really having any financial worries and almost always having expensive
things. As we mentioned at the start of this list, money serves as a great power boost. Remy is also
intelligent in his own right, being the one to figure out the proof he and Cricket needed to
show that Chip’s petition in “Chipocalypse Now” was fake. Speaking of that episode,
we had to mention Remy’s final power - one that essentially turns one of his biggest weaknesses
into a strength. When the boys were cornered by Chip’s guards and needed a distraction,
all Remy had to do was turn on the waterworks and the guards immediately became sympathetic to him.
Cuteness and sympathy can be a power in its own right, and Remy can certainly make it
work to his advantage. All these things combined earn Remy one of our top spots.
For the Silver Medal of Power, we’re giving it to the Remingtons, Rashida
and Russell. While Remy has plenty of his own power, it’s safe to say that his parents
are able to outmatch him. Like Remy, they are extremely wealthy due to Russell being
a retired pro-athlete champion and Rashida being a successful lawyer. In Rashida’s case,
she’s also likely very intelligent, as most lawyers often are. But along with their age,
height and overall status, the Remingtons are also surprisingly strong and physically fit. Now,
we can’t necessarily call them the strongest Big City Greens characters, as it’s likely that Bill,
Alice and one other character who we’ll get to in a moment could beat them in a one-on-one fight.
Still, in the episode “Dinner Party” where the Remingtons and the Greens play football, Rashida
and Russell were able to go toe-to-toe with both Alice and Bill without too much trouble - even
getting a few good hits in. Again, we can’t say anything about their combat skills outside of
the football field, but these two manage to be incredibly strong in their own right. For
these reasons, we felt it necessary to give this couple a high ranking.
Finally, our Gold Medal of Power is going to Vasquez. So, remember how Chip once called Vasquez
a “human death machine”? Yeahhh, that pretty much sums it all up right there. Vasquez essentially
has all the strength, skill and combat know-how that Alice did in her prime. It’s said that he
trained in both the special forces and the Order of the Fangs, so not only does he know
how to defend and fight but also hunt and kill if necessary using a wide array of weapons.
In the episode “Winter Greens”, Vasquez took what was meant to be just a fun snowball fight
to a whole new level, showing off all skills and essentially becoming a snowball-wielding
Terminator. He was able to fight off Chip’s construction workers with Alice by his side,
and in the episode “Takened” we saw Vasquez defeat a whole army of ninjas all on his own. Really, the
only thing that could take away from his impressive list of accomplishments and skills
is his one and only rival: Viper Fang. Although Vasquez is able to defeat nearly every other
opponent he’s put up against, he seems to struggle against Viper. There’s even a chance that he would
have lost his most recent fight against Viper if not for Bill stepping in when he did. But hey,
while he may seem like a machine at times, Vasquez is only human - and even with his near losses
against Viper, he’s still an incredibly strong, skilled and powerful bodyguard. We could think
of no one more deserving of the title of Most Powerful Big City Greens character than him.
