Page "Jonny Quest" Paragraph 23

* Adult Swim's The Venture Bros. features characters who are satirical analogues of the Jonny Quest cast: Dr. Thaddeus " Rusty " Venture, his bodyguard Brock Samson, and his sons Hank and Dean.

Flashbacks reveal that Rusty is himself the son of a Benton Quest analog, now coasting on the fame of his late father.

During the first season, the creators of the show realized that Cartoon Network's parent owned Jonny Quest and began using the actual characters, including Jonny as a paranoid drug addict severely damaged by the constant danger his father put him in, Race Bannon as a OSI agent that Brock Samson calls " one of the best " until his death, and Hadji as a hard-working competent engineer for Rusty's successful brother Jonas Jr.

However, starting with the third season, the Jonny Quest characters were renamed: Jonny was renamed " Action Johnny ", Race Bannon was referred to as " Red " and Dr Zin was simply called " Dr. Z "; there was no in-show explanation for the change.
