LEM is a model kid. He never misses a class, is never late, and has certainly never been called to the principal’s office. Kind of cute for someone with green skin but also a bit geeky, he always does the right thing. However, little by little, and with the help of Chuck, Lem learns that there is more to life than following the rules, especially if you’re going to have to save the planet!
