Whether it be by the hopless bumbling mutants or a certain devil priest named Mumm-Ra, evil on Third Earth was always perpetrated in incredibly cool fashion. Here's a look at Third Earth's original evil.
Mumm-Ra. Don't let him fool you, he may look decayed and useless, but this weak mummy could transform himself into Mumm-Ra, the Ever-living. He resided in the dark pyramid, and had all sorts of cool powers. What always kind of bugged me was when he turned into Mumm-Ra, the Ever-Living, you could almost see up his skirt. He had a kickass pooch named Ma-mutt, and he answered to the ancient spirits of evil. He was one well-rounded mummy devil priest. All things aside, he was the coolest 80's cartoon villain of them all. I don't know anyone who could possibly disagree with me. (By the way, if you do disagree, you suck, and Santa Claus is giving you the cryogenically frozen head of Walt Disney for Christmas, jerkass.) The coolest episodes were when he turned into Super Mumm-Ra, and the ones where he battled Lion-O with the sword of Plundarr.
Look at 'em. A regular freakin' Brady Bunch. The Mutants consisted of Sslythe, Monkian, and Jackal-man. Later added was Vultureman. They were Mumm-Ra's lackeys. These bumblers couldn't do anything right. The moral behind them was don't... uh... don't... don't be a mutant. There were armies of them, (apparently all male), back on Plundarr, but this group crash landed on Third Earth and fell into their niche as Mumm-Ra's bootlicks as soon as he deep sixed their ship in the desert of sinking sands. So they resided in Castle Plundarr, drank, and sometimes went after the ThunderCats. Their Nosedivers and Sky Cutters didn't do much good. They were usually beaten, and then yelled at by Mumm-Ra.
Sslythe was the mutant leader. This
scaly s.o.b. has had tons of revulsions from Vultureman, but
always managed to smack him around. When not piloting the
nosediver, Sslythe could be seen sunning himself on a rock, or
eating rabbits whole.
Catch phrase: "Yesssss?"
Second in command in the Mutant hierarchy,
Vultureman built all the equipment that meant well, but
eventually blew up. He was the last mutant added, and the most
pissed off about his position. His favorite thing to do was
trying to bump off Sslythe.
Vultureman says: "Cccaw!"
This idiot was smarter than your average vegetable.
Monkian, who's personal odor was sure to offend drove a
skycutter, and at least was higher up than Jackalman.
That thing he does: "Whoo Hoo Hoo!!"
This screw-up probably couldn't even get a job
mopping a nudie-booth. Fourth in command in a four-person group,
Jackalman was probably just glad he didn't assume any
responsibility for things oing wrong, the guy was a coward, and
screamed like a little girl when pain was about to be inflicted
on his furry body.
Pull his string and he says: "Nye ha ha ha ha!"
