Lion-O
was the lord of the Thundercats. He got to carry around the
mystical, the magical, and all around awesome Sword of Omens.
With it he had sight beyond sight, which allowed him to view
anything through the sword. The sword also sensed danger.
Whenever he was in trouble he would summon the other Thundercats
with the sword. He also had an awesome claw shield. Man, was he
ever cool.
Favorite quote: "ThunderCats Ho!"
There was Cheetara, who was really fast. She had a
telepathic sixth sense, and got to carry around this cool staff
that could grow very long. If I was a cartoon, I'd go after
her... right after paying a visit to Pocahontas and Jessica
Rabbit. Oh man, I am such a loser.
You can't forget Panthro, the all around coolest. He had
nunchucks, and could crack nuts between his pecs (probably).
Panthro had cool spiky things on his shoulders and would often
get all angry and yell. He could also fix stuff. I would have
like to get a pic of him shooting rays out of his nunchucks,
(something which all mainstream cartoon weapons must do), or him
beating Mumm-Ra upside his decrepit mummy head.
There
was Tygra, who got addicted to everything (that lsd-type fruit,
that Power Crystal, and he got all misty-eyed when he heard the
vampire mermaid's siren song. He almost got his face bitten off.)
He also was the one who always got stuck turning old in the cave
of time, or whatever. He carried a whip, and could make himself
invisible. Oh yeah, and got screwed over by the writers. Maybe in
the later episodes he made himself invisible and couldn't make
himself un-invisible (there was one time that actually did
happen). That would explain where he was during the last year or
so.
Wily-Katt, and Wily-Kitt. What can I say? They had cool
pellets that either made smoke or dinosaurs. They also had
lassos. They were known to groove around Third Earth all day on
their space boards. They usually felt unappreciated, and ran
away.
Berbils
throwing candyfruit all over the walls? Call Snarf. Snarf was the
Thundercats' maid. He'd do whatever they told him to do. Witha
"Snarf, Snarf." following it up he usually complained
and then made an ass out of himself at the end of each episode.
For this the Thundercats would taunt him mercilessly. No harm
done, he always forgave them. If you watch the early episodes you
can tell they made Snarf out to be an old guy. He talked like an
old miner. It seems as if they dropped the old guy act a little
later. Watch it and see. If you find that stuff interesting. And
if you're here, I'm guessing you do.
Jaga,
the dead guy. Former lord of the Thundercats. He wore a kaiser
helmet for some odd reason. Whenever Lion-O hit a dead end Jaga
would give him a hint (which in my opinion were obvious. They
took Lion-O awhile, though). Like if Lion-O was pinned by
Mumm-Ra, The Ever-Living, Jaga would appear and say "Lion-O,
Mumm-ra cannot stand the reflection of his own evil." Then
he'd leave. Lion-O would typically say "Jaga, wait, come
back! (sigh) He's gone." He'd think for an really long
amount of time and go "Mumm-Ra, you cannot stand the
reflection of your own evil!!", and show Mumm-Ra his
reflection in his claw-shield. Mumm-Ra would shriek, and return
to his dark pyramid. You were just expecting Jaga to show up with
detailed written plans, and blueprints for what to do, but that
never happened. Plausible, though.
