H.B. Luskey
- Mayor Luskey is a human from the Rescue Bots portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Mayor Luskey has the misfortune to be the mayor of Griffin Rock. Vain and egocentric, he will often blame others for his own mistakes, or claim credit for successful ideas which weren't his. He owns a boat named the Floating Xanadu, and married one of the winners of the Miss Griffin Rock pageant.

During the Lobster and Technology Festival, Mayor Luskey took part in the technology parade. Afterwards he was interviewed by reporter Huxley Prescott and invited everyone to come to the town square to take part in the festival, only to be attacked on-camera by flobsters, who relieved him of his toupee. He attempted to flee in his car, only to be attacked by more flobsters which severed a nearby power line. Graham Burns and Boulder came to his rescue, and Graham returned his toupee. Flobsters on Parade The Mayor and his wife had a weekly picnic, during which they had a path cut through grass for them.

As part of the town's Earth Day celebrations, Luskey unveiled the Mayor Luskey Library. When recycling-happy lemurs escaped from the zoo, he watched in alarm as they began tearing the building apart and one of them made off with his toupee. He later unveiled the Mayor Luskey Enclosure at the zoo, to hold the cross-eyed lion. Walk on the Wild Side During a heatwave, the Mayor demonstrated how it was hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement, only for the egg and his hat to catch fire.

After almost colliding with rocks after the lighthouse failed, Luskey ordered Doc Greene to sort it out before the next day's Miss Griffin Rock pageant.

Though he was rescued by Heatwave and Kade Burns, he was so incensed he later fired Doc Greene from the position of lead scientist. Return of the Dino Bot
After Morocco's MorBot saved the mayor from a rogue road roller, Luskey seemed happy to entertain the notion of allowing Morocco to compete with the Burns family to see who was best at rescue. It only took the MorBot saving Luskey from being splattered by Doc Greene's solar car for him to have the Rescue Bots stood down and appoint Morocco as lead scientist. The Other Doctor Burns's claims that Morocco was behind the recent troubles were ignored by Luskey, who took Morocco out on the Floating Xanadu to see the sun rise. It was only when the voters started getting angry about the destruction wrought by the MorBot that Luskey was forced to press the Rescue Bots back into action, and with compelling evidence that Morocco was behind everything, Luskey and the council reinstated both Burns's team and Doc Greene.

After finding a stash of Fo-Foo in a bunker near his mansion, Luskey dubbed it "Magic Meat" and began marketing it, unaware that one of the side effects was lycanthropy. Turning into a huge hairy beast, Luskey was mistaken for the Maine Ridge Monster by Cody and the Bots, who had an encounter with him in a disused cannery. After he reverted to his human form, Luskey found that his store of Magic Meat had been raided and reported it to the Burns family, who soon discovered the meat's real nature. That night, Luskey again turned into a beast and attempted to steal the Fo-Foo stored in the Hall of Inspiration, only to be captured by the Rescue Bots.

He was unable to use the tub until the planter was defeated, at which point the Burns family commandeered the tub for "testing". Movers and Shakers
