*'''Reggie''' [http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20050608] - Reggie is a blind, black friend of Brent's. He is very aggressive, and is very forthcoming about his disability. He was later hired by Max Powers when he started ''Powerplay''. After the merger he began working at ''PvP''. Based on a friend of Kurtz's.
*'''Donna Richards''' [http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20011013] - Cole's wife. Seldom seen in the more recent strips. In real life, Angie and Scott were married on February 24, 1996.
*'''Kurtz's Dad''' [http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20021219] - Although not a part of the official ''PvP'' Universe and therefore not normally seen with the other characters, Kurtz's dad, a German immigrant, occasionally appears in the comic to share his views on profanity, modern American culture, or whatever else happens to strike his fancy. According to Kurtz, everything the character says is transcribed from his real father's words. Kurtz's dad usually says something quirkily funny ([http://pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20030225]) or talks about things which he does not know much about, which is followed by Kurtz himself saying "This is ''so'' going in the Strip!". He often complains about his son not being in the newspapers and wants him to be more like his vision of perfect cartooning, [[Charles Schulz]]. Additionally, he represents the community of older PC users and gamers (at least in the Comic, Kurtz and his dad play ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' together [http://pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20050403], with Kurtz's dad as a pink-haired gnome, an example for his lovable crankiness).
*'''Francis Robot''' [http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20050614] - Also known as the [[List of fictional robots and androids#Web Comics also available in Print form|Ottobot]]. Originally a robotic girlfriend built by Francis, the Robot was rebuilt and reprogrammed into a robotic clone of Francis, which took his place in front of a theater camping out for ''[[Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith]]''. However, at some point between the time the robot was placed at the theater and the release date for ''Episode III'' (Francis tried to make national news in camping out for EP III before the movie was in pre-production) , the theater was turned into an antique store. When Francis returned for the robot, it handcuffed him to a chair and took his place at the office. It was discovered that the robot was not really Francis when it shorted out while [[Tongue kiss|making out]] with Marcy. Scratch Fury has now turned the robot into a machine to disguise himself as a human and attempted to take over the town at by attacking the Mayor. The plan failed and the robot was taken as evidence after Scratch Fury escaped.
*'''The Panda''' In a long-running gag, Brent is occasionally, suddenly and inexplicably attacked by a [[giant panda]] ([http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20030412 example]). Brent brought The Panda in as a replacement for Skull after the troll ran away, but Brent quickly discovered that the Panda wouldn't take the kind of abuse Brent usually heaped on Skull. [http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=19990803]. At one point, Brent was temporarily blinded [http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20050605] and the panda refrained from attacking him [http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20050609], suggesting either that it prefers to maul Brent through surprise attacks, which Brent had foiled this one time unknowingly due to improved senses from losing his vision, or that it figured he had suffered enough and refrained from attacking due to sympathy.
