Roger T. "Race" Bannon is a government-employed bodyguard for the Quest family, and one of the main characters of the Jonny Quest animated franchise. He works for Intelligence One and is accompanied on special missions with Doctor Benton Quest. His voice was originated by Mike Road.
Character description
Race is a grown man with fair skin, an athletic build, and short white hair. He is commonly seen wearing a red shirt, light grey khaki pants, a wristwatch, and a pair of brown leather boots.
He is a confident man who knows how to stay patient and is usually composed for the greater good. He is also natural at quipping one-liners, particularly when it comes to targeting his enemies. He is an Intelligence One bodyguard who keeps a sharp eye on Jonny, Doctor Quest, and Hadji. He is proficent in piloting aircraft, has known many forms of self-defense, and an expert in weaponry. Race is also nearly as well versed as Doctor Quest when it comes to explaining strange phenomenia and mysteries.
When he is not occupied on missions, he acts as a tutor to both Jonny and Hadji, where he educates them on a variety of subjects. However, Race can sometimes be sensitive to their innocence and often includes short courses on non-traditional subjects like judo, and scuba diving. Race has insight into what it was like to be boys like Jonny and Hadji, and treats them as capable young men, which they are in many areas.

Biography
Becoming the Second Dad
Race was 32 years old in the original series and was born in Wilmette, Illinois, to John and Sarah Bannon.[1] Following the death of Jonny's mother, Race Bannon was assigned by Intelligence One to safegaurd Jonny "24 hours a day and 7 days a week as tutor, companion and all-around watchdog."[2]
In "Double Danger," Race went to Thailand with Doctor Quest while he scouted for plants for a tranquilizer pill that would help astronauts endure in long space travels. However, a double agent imitating Race replaced him during their operation, who was hired by Doctor Zin to steal Quest's formula, and was trained to copy Race's appearance, voice, and mannerisms. With the help of Jezebel Jade, Jonny and Hadji were able to free Race, stopping Race's double and Zin's plan in the process.[1]

Development
According to The Art of Hanna-Barbera book, Race Bannon's appearance was modeled after actor Jeff Chandler.[3] Joseph Barbera also wrote that Bannon resembled the title character of the Terry and the Pirates comic strip.[4]

- Main article: Race Bannon/Gallery
Behind the scenes
- Jonny Quest’s creator Doug Wildey created Race's full name by combining the names of Race Dunhill and Stretch Bannon from his earlier comic strips.
- The surname Bannon is Irish (from 'O'Banain') meaning "white".
- He is right-handed.[1]
In popular culture
- In the Freakazoid! segment "Doomsday Bet," from a one-off Toby Danger backup feature, Doctor Quest was lampooned as Dash O'Pepper, with Granville Van Dusen reprising his role as Race from the 80s incarnation of Jonny Quest.
- In the Adult Swim series The Venture Bros., Brock Samson was partly inspired by Race.
- In The Fairly OddParents TV movie Channel Chasers, Timmy zaps himself into the world of Jonny Hunt, in which he becomes part of an escape with the titular, young Jonny Hunt and his team from a laser-firing robot shaped like a scorpion in the jungle. The unnamed bodyguard-type gave Timmy a bazooka after the Doctor Quest-type invited him along with them after he saved them, referencing how careless the adults are.
- Following its internet spread in 2016, there was a series of political memes of Race with false captions labelling him as a violently homophobic version of US Vice President Mike Pence.[5]
- In the film The Incredibles 2, part of "Arctic Showdown" is watched by Dash, with Race's voice heard in the background.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
- October 4, 2019: The cold opening segment is a fake cartoon titled "The Adventures of Mike Pence: Ukraine, not Me-Kraine," in which Pence (as portrayed by footage of Race Bannon) attempts to distance himself from then-US President Donald Trump, following backlash over his demands for the Ukrainian government to investigate Joe Biden.
- January 5, 2021: In "The Adventures of Mike Pence: The Uncertain Certification," Pence (again portrayed by Race) tries to not follow through with Trump’s demands to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
- September 15, 2021: In "The Adventures of Mike Pence: To Coup or Not to Coup," Race (once more as Pence) contacts former Vice President Dan Quayle to get advice on overturning an election, but gets rejected when Quayle refuses his offer.
