Thundercats Characters

Thundercats was a cartoon that ran for three seasons from 1985-1988. Mostly it was the look of the character that gets the ranking. Given Mumm-Ra's importance in the overall Thundercats mythology, but. First of all, remember how in the first episode of Thundercats Cheetara (and everyone else) was.

This list is of possible figures (by no means complete) but I've got a list of most characters (& creatures) from both the 1985 & 2011 shows.I'm very stuck on the Marvel UK, Wildstorm & Star Comics unique charactersCharacters in Red had a 1985 and/or 2011 action figure.

That's a great list!:If we could get a visual characters list that would help greatly in polls for characters.I remember Toyguru asked on the he-man.org forums for visual Filmation want lists before they announced the Filmation rights. I believe it was done to pitch to management to give enough reason to obtain the Filmation license.There was also an all comprehensive visual characters poll called the 2016 MOTUC Character Selection Playoffs!It was highly effective because the top 7 figures are already made/announced.From the top 20; 13 figures are made/announced.

A reboot of the (which ran from 1985 to 1989), ThunderCats was developed by and animated by, and combined elements of western animation with Japanese. The series began with an hour-long premiere on Cartoon Network on July 29, 2011.Following the destruction of their home, the kingdom of Thundera, the ThunderCats (a group of ) are forced to roam the planet Third Earth, in order to find a way to defeat the evil sorcerer, who plans on taking over the universe. Story-wise the series attempts to take a much darker and more cinematic approach than the original show, featuring a lot more focus on characterization and more sophisticated themes.Initially planned for 52 episodes, it was confirmed by ThunderCats art-director Dan Norton in early 2013 that the show had been canceled after only one season. Of the show later aired on 's block along with. Contents.Plot On the planet known as Third Earth, the Cats have lived and thrived for generations in the kingdom of Thundera. The Cats are led by Claudus, with his son and heir Lion-O. However, one night the kingdom is attacked by the Lizard army led by the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra.

With them, the Lizards bring technology (a concept unfamiliar to the Cats). Because of this, Thundera is destroyed, Claudus is killed by Mumm-Ra, and the rest of the Cats are enslaved. A small band of surviving Thunderians led by Lion-O (who wields the powerful Sword of Omens) flee the destroyed city in order to seek out the Book of Omens which is said to have the knowledge needed to defeat Mumm-Ra. Once they find it, the ThunderCats realize that in order for them to defeat Mumm-Ra, they must unite all the different species living on Third Earth. The ThunderCats also discover that they have to find three stones of power which if found by Mumm-Ra will give him power to become the most powerful being in the universe.Characters. The ThunderCats.

From left to right: Tygra, WilyKit, Lion-O, WilyKat (foreground), Panthro (background), Snarf (foreground), Cheetara (background). (voiced by ) – The leader/Lord of the Thundercats. The biological son of king Claudus, Lion-O was a misunderstood teenager in Thundera, being the only one in the kingdom who believed that technology and Mumm-Ra existed. Because of his beliefs, many felt he was unworthy to become king, often favoring his adopted older brother, Tygra, for the position. After the fall of Thundera and the death of king Claudus, Lion-O becomes the new Lord of the Thundercats, leading the team to find a way to defeat Mumm-Ra. Even though Lion-O can be a bit of a hot-head, he's by far the most patient and understanding cat, even more than Cheetara.

Lion-O also believes that the other races of Third Earth should be treated equally, as seen when Lion-O was defending two persecuted Lizards from some Thunderians and when he refused to give into Pumyra's dark temptation to steal the Tech Stone which would've resulted in the deaths of the Avistan birds. During the first half of season one, both he and Tygra had a crush on Cheetara, which only fueled the brothers' rivalry.

In the end, Cheetara chose Tygra, which left Lion-O feeling bitter and betrayed. Attempting to move past his feelings for Cheetara, Lion-O attempted to cultivate feelings for Pumyra. However, any possibility of a relationship between them came to an abrupt end after he found out that, in truth, Pumyra was Mumm-Ra's willing agent the entire time she was with the Thundercats. (voiced by ) – The adopted older brother of Lion-O.

Tygra was born to Javan, the leader of the Tiger Clan living in the mountains (the Tigers were exiled because of their continued loyalty to Mumm-Ra). During this time, the Tiger Clan was stricken with disease, and made a deal with the Ancient Spirits of Evil in order to survive. In return for saving their lives, the Ancient Spirits of Evil demanded that Tygra (who was just a baby at the time) be sacrificed because they considered him a bigger threat to their existence than Lion-O would be.

Unable to kill his own son, Javan sent him away in a hot air balloon and Tygra was eventually found/adopted by the royal family of Thundera. Originally, Tygra was the of Thundera, but after Lion-O was born, Tygra couldn't succeed his adoptive parents as the ruler of Thundera (he's still a prince, but he's next in line for the throne after Lion-O). This would result in Tygra hating his brother for things beyond Lion-O's control, such as losing the crown (and their mother, who had died giving birth to Lion-O) and constantly working to show Lion-O wasn't worthy to succeed Claudus as the King of Thundera. Tygra also possesses extreme, a jealous streak, and a combo inferiority/superiority complex, all of which often cause friction between the two brothers and the rest of the team (although it's shown, at random times, that Tygra truly does care about Lion-O).

During the first half of season one, both brothers had a crush on Cheetara, which only fueled their rivalry. In the end, Cheetara chose Tygra. After the Trials of Lion-O (parts one and two), Tygra ends up developing a greater respect and appreciation for his younger brother, after he realizes that Lion-O's much better at being the King than he himself is. However, this newfound appreciation doesn't last as Tygra is soon back to his former self, even going so far as to lash out at Lion-O, accusing 'the King he would follow anywhere' of trying to take his father Javan away from him, as well as endangering the Cats during What Lies Above by betting their collected Stones in a race against Vultaire after the Bird turned Tygra's own racism and species superiority against him. Tygra has even gone so far as to indirectly insult Cheetara on numerous occasions in his attempts to belittle his brother such as when he implied that in pursuing Pumyra, Lion-O was just setting himself up to get hurt again, indicating how Cheetara chose Tygra over Lion-O in Between Brothers (although he's not actually as vocal about wanting to be the King). Later on in the first season, Tygra also finds out that, in addition to being able to use firearms with the skill of a trained without ever having seen such tech before, he is also a natural at flying, even though he has never seen such tech before, due to his ancestors of generations past being fighter pilots for Mumm-Ra. (voiced by ) - Initially one of the last remaining warriors.

When she originally tried to join the Order of Clerics as a child, she was initially turned down by Jaga, because even though she had the speed possessed by clerics, she lacked the patience. Despite being turned down, Cheetara decided to show Jaga she had the patience needed to become a cleric, and began to wait in front of the Order's doors to prove her patience. Instead of keeping true to her word and proving herself patient, Cheetara cheated and used the petals of a flower given by Tygra to sustain herself.

Jaga finally allowed her to join the Order after this. In the aftermath of Thundera's downfall, Cheetara was possibly the sole surviving member of the Order, with the exception of Jaga, who lives on in spirit form in the Book of Omens. Cheetara initially served as a counselor to Lion-O, since she never shunned him for his interests in technology and initially seems to support his kindness to other races. Although, since being paired with Tygra, Cheetara's begun to adopt some of his more negative outlooks and habits, such as his opinions of the Lizards.

During the first half of season one, both of the brothers had a crush on her, but in the end she chose Tygra, due to the kindness Tygra had shown her when they were young. As of New Alliances, Cheetara has since abandoned her duties as a cleric, allowing WilyKit to step into the role for her King.

(voiced by ) - One of King Claudus' most loyal soldiers. Panthro, along with his friend, Grune, were originally sent by Claudus to find the Book of Omens, but their attempted search resulted in Mumm-Ra's release and Grune betraying Panthro. While fighting Grune, Panthro fell down an abyss and was seemingly killed. However, Panthro survived and constructed the ThunderTank, which he later used to save Lion-O's group from Slithe's platoon in Song of the Petalars.

Though he questioned Lion-O's ability to lead at first, feeling that he was too young to be the King, Panthro eventually accepted him as the new Lord of the ThunderCats. Unlike the other ThunderCats, Panthro never learned how to swim and is very, and in part one of What Lies Above, Panthro realizes for the first time that he has.

He also lost his lower arms/hands during the end of the first season, having them replaced with robotic ones built by the Burbles. WilyKit and WilyKat (voiced by Madeleine Hall and Eamon Pirruccello) - siblings who were originally from a middle-class family in the countryside, consisting of them, their parents, and younger brother and sister (also fraternal twins).

After the twins lost their father to a, the family began to become more down-trodden, with their mother trying make ends meet (she wouldn't let her oldest kids help her. It is loosely implied but not mentioned that she may have resorted to to support the family). Eventually, the Wily-twins decided to run away to find the lost city of, so they could become rich and help their family. However, upon arriving to Thundera, the brother (WilyKat) and sister (WilyKit) were forced to become and in order to survive the slums, with their aspirations being the only thing keeping them going. When the Lizards attacked Thundera, the two managed to escape during the chaos before eventually teaming up with Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara and Snarf on their journey. (voiced by ) - A creature of unknown origin and species who was originally Lion-O's when he was a baby. Now that Lion-O is fully grown and can take care of himself, Snarf is more of a pet to the young lord, but still cares very much about Lion-O and is very protective of him.Antagonists and villains.

(voiced by ) - The main villain of the series. An eternal servant of the Ancient Spirits of Evil, Mumm-Ra is himself a Spirit of Evil, with the sole purpose of conquering the universe. Centuries prior to the series, Mumm-Ra used advanced technology and dark magic to enslave all the animals into serving him.

With them under his command, he sought to gather the four Power Stones, which, if attached to the Sword of Plun-Darr, would give him ultimate power. By managing to take the Warstone (which would later be known as the Eye of Thundera), the ThunderCat known as Leo (with help from the other animals) was able to defeat Mumm-Ra and strip him of the other Power Stones.

But when Mumm-Ra's spacecraft was pulled into Third Earth's atmosphere, he entered his tomb to escape the crash and leave everyone else to die. However, the controls were damaged and Mumm-Ra was trapped within his own spacecraft, as the stones and survivors spread across Third Earth.

Many centuries later, Mumm-Ra manipulated Grune into releasing him, and was able to orchestrate Thundera's downfall. Now Mumm-Ra not only plans to obtain the Eye of Thundera, but also regain the other three Power Stones and the Sword of Plundarr while gathering some allies to assist him. Grune (voiced by ) - Grune was one of King Claudus' most trusted generals, and best friends with Panthro. Being very ambitious and power-hungry Grune attempted to prove himself to Claudus for a promotion, but instead Claudus chose Lynx-O, and assigned Grune and Panthro to find the Book of Omens. Grune felt betrayed and drove himself mad with his own paranoia. Eventually, his jealousy towards the king was used by Mumm-Ra to convince Grune to become his follower and serve a key role in Thundera's downfall.

However, Grune also intended to betray Mumm-Ra in the long run prior to leading the attack on the Elephants' village to obtain the Spirit Stone there, resulting with Grune getting sucked into the Astral Plane. Slithe (voiced by ) - One of Mumm-Ra's generals and the leader of the Lizards. Slithe serves Mumm-Ra in order for his kind to take revenge on the ThunderCats for generations of persecution. Succeeding in ransacking Thundera, Slithe pursues Lion-O's group before overseeing the search for the Book of Omens and later the Powerstones. Addicus (voiced by ) - A bloodthirsty -like who committed crimes against the Bird Nation and was sentenced to a death drop from high up in his captors' domain. However, Addicus is rescued from the fall by Slithe and recruited to be one of Mumm-Ra's new generals. Accepting the proposal, Addicus is allowed to get his revenge on the Bird Nation as Addicus states that they 'owe him a last meal.'

. Kaynar (voiced by ) - A -like psychopath who is recruited as one of Mumm-Ra's generals. Kaynar was about to be placed in solitary confinement within a Dog Prison when he was recruited by Slithe to be one of Mumm-Ra's new generals. Though preferring his cell, Kaynar accepts Slithe's proposal when he mentions that he can slaughter ThunderCats while allowed to 'say goodbye' to his jailers. Vultaire (voiced by ) - A of Avista who is arrogant and sees himself above those who live on the land, especially the ThunderCats whom he considers to be manipulative barbarians. Though aiding the ThunderCats in fighting off Mumm-Ra's army, Vultaire betrays his fellow Avistans and aligns himself with Mumm-Ra upon witnessing his power firsthand. Vultaire shoots down Tygra and then quotes to Addicus 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.'

Vultaire joins Slithe, Kaynar, and Addicus into fighting Tygra, Panthro, and Cheetara prior to the latter knocking him out before Tygra can get payback for the bird's treachery. After Mumm-Ra claimed the Tech Stone, Vultaire joined Mumm-Ra's forces into retreating from Avista. Pumyra (voiced by ) - A cat who originally fought during the fall of Thundera before being wounded and left to die under rubble. In her final moments, Pumyra died disillusioned, hateful, and resentful towards Lion-O and company for leaving Thundera, believing they had ignored her pleas for help and had left her and their species to die.

Sensing her hate, Mumm-Ra resurrected Pumyra to serve him as his spy and lover, placing her among the captive Thunderian slaves to be sold to Ratar-O where she was later sold to Dobo. From there, meeting Lion-O and managing to keep her need for revenge in check, Pumyra and love while serving as a beacon for Mumm-Ra to regain the Sword of Plun-Darr and track the Thundercats' movement. It was during the siege of Avista that Pumyra reveals her true colors by giving the Tech Stone to Mumm-Ra. After taking hits from both Ro-Bear Bill and Dobo, Pumyra leaves with Mumm-Ra while promising to kill Lion-O the next time they meet. Ancient Spirits of Evil (voiced by, and ) - Four dark spirits that are the source of Mumm-Ra's powers and his eternal masters. They resemble a, a, a, and a.

The Ancient Spirits played a role in the creation of both the Sword of Plun-Darr, possessing a Thunderian blacksmith to forge the weapon, and the Sword of Omens, due to the blacksmith retaining the spirits' knowledge to forge a weapon similar to the previous creation. In Native Son, it's revealed that the Ancient Spirits have been worshiped by the Tiger Clan after their ancestors were exiled to the mountains due to their continued loyalty to Mumm-Ra. When the Tiger Clan was on the verge of dying out from an epidemic, the Ancient Spirits offer to cure them in return that the newborn Tygra (who would grow up to become their stated primary enemy, not Lion-O) be sacrificed. When Javan, the leader of the clan and Tygra's biological father, refused to honor his end of the pact, the Ancient Spirits bound the souls of the Tiger Clan to the living world as shape-shifting shadow monsters that obey their every command. Some years later, a fully-grown Tygra found his way back to his ancestral home and freed his kin of the curse.Other characters. Jaga (voiced by ) - Jaga serves as head of Thundera's warriors, possessing knowledge of ancient secrets, superhuman speed and the power to project lightning from his staff. In his prime, he used the 'Sword of Omens' in an epic duel against Ratilla.

At the start of the series, Jaga sacrifices himself to ensure Lion-O and his group escape. This resulted with him being tortured into revealing the location of the 'Book of Omens' to Mumm-Ra, though doing his best to resist the villain's magic when sealed within a lantern, eventually his free will wavers along with his physical form.

Though Jaga destroys the lantern that was keeping his soul intact to save Lion-O from Mumm-Ra, part of his soul took residence within the Book of Omens and becomes Lion-O's guide. Claudus (voiced by ) - The previous King of Thundera/Lord of the ThunderCats, Claudus is a stern father to Lion-O, his biological son, and Tygra, his adopted son. His wife, the unnamed previous Queen of Thundera/Lady of the ThunderCats, had died giving birth to Lion-O. When Grune and Panthro had fought bravely to get promoted to general, Claudus told them that he has given the job to Lynx-O.

Claudus was the one who sent Panthro and Grune to find the Book of Omens. When Lion-O was fighting off some Thunderians who were beating up two imprisoned Lizards (where Lion-O was assisted by Tygra and Cheetara), Claudus arrived to break up the fight. He was convinced by Lion-O to let the Lizards go free and back to their homeland. When Thundera was being attacked by the Lizards, Claudus is murdered by Mumm-Ra (who was disguised as Panthro). Lion-O, Cheetara, and Tygra later hold a funeral pyre for him after escaping with the Sword of Omens.

Claudus's voice actor played Lion-O in the original series. Lynx-O (voiced by ) - Lynx-O was a general under Claudus. He first made a cameo as one of Thundera's lookout sentries. It is currently unknown if he survived the fall of Thundera.Episodes.
