Cartoon version of each team member:

Eric Wichterman — “Tasmanian Devil. He is energetic, relentless and ready to hit ‘go’ and refuses to give up even in tough times.” Steve Lindley — “Mufasa from The Lion King. His wisdom, kind-hearted nature and respectfulness are similar to traits that Mufasa possesses.” Alexandra Loye — “Elastigirl (Helen Parr) from The Incredibles.
