Whyatt Beanstalk

"Good job, Super Readers!"

Whyatt Beanstalk (Previously known as Willy during the Pilot) is the titular main protagonist of Super Why!.

He is the leader and best friend of the Super Readers, a group of storybook children who save the day by solving problems and diving into the storybooks in hopes of creating a happy ending while solving their own problems at the end of every adventure.

Whyatt is the natural born leader of the group who everyone turns to in the times of crisis or need, but even he is bound to make a couple of mistakes along the way.

Ever since the show ended, he re-appeared as a mascot of the security software "Protegent 360" as "Proto" with various different voices in each ad.

Personality

Super Why
Whyatt turns into "Super Why", a typical superhero with the power to Read. Using both his reading abilities and his special why-writer, Super Why can always save the day! A why-writer is used by switching words around, taking out the bad words and putting in the good words. Super Why can also use it to highlight the words he is going to read. Originally in "The Story Of The Super Readers", Super Why's why-writer took the form of a pencil. Just slightly does Whyatt's voice change while he is Super Why, but in the syndicated version, his voice doesn't change.

His cape is the same shade of blue and he also has on a pair of multi-blue colored turbo sneakers small lightning bolts on the sides that allow him to fly just like a real Super Hero. Over his eyes is a green eye mask. In the syndicated version, sparkles were added to his costume to match Princess Presto's costume, except for his mask which stays the same.

Super Why's Why Flyer is deep blue in color and resembles a typical plane with engines on the top. It has bright green lining and markings and a yellow underside. There is also a glass part in front of Super Why. For safety when riding in it, Super Why puts on a dark blue helmet. The question mark trail behind his flyer is green.
