From "The Trials of Lion-O: Part 2" on he is far more mature and even-tempered, and makes better use of his tools and abilities.He later demonstrates long-term planning skills and more abstract thought while searching for the hidden Spirit Stone.Lion-O: *as he realizes he'll be dragged skyward* Maybe this is a bad ide-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! This is lampshaded when, atypically, he realizes a tactical error mere seconds after he's made it, firing a grapple at an angry Giant Flyer:
#CHEETARA THUNDERCATS HOW TO#
Character Development: Shortsighted and prone to alternately Hot-Blooded and well-meant impulsive decisions, Lion-O gradually learns through several missteps how to take a longer view and think before he acts.The Chains of Commanding: Lion-O feels doubtful and insecure in his leadership from time to time, once wondering aloud "Maybe the sword chose wrong.".Came Back Strong: After returning from death in "The Trials of Lion-O".Yes, everyone hates their crown prince and future king.
#CHEETARA THUNDERCATS FULL#
Category Traitor: Lion-O's defense of the stockaded Lizard slaves and attempt at Shaming the Mob harassing them backfires spectacularly, stirring up the Powderkeg Crowd into demanding a full blown Public Execution and turning their Torches and Pitchforks on him, calling him " Lizard lover" and threatening to put him in the stocks themselves.Catchphrase: "Whiskers," Lion-O's signature Once per Episode phrase, quite possibly the least threatening curse ever.Bully Hunter: Gradually becomes this, as he goes from incidentally fighting bullies in his hometown to actively asserting that predatory antagonists, like the Duelist, need to be taken down a peg.Bodyguard Crush/ Hot for Preacher: Lion-O has an obvious crush on Cheetara, his Church Militant Praetorian Guard.In this case, he's a Cloudcuckoolander techie in a family of Proud Warrior Race Guys. Black Sheep: Is this and White Sheep and either way, Lion-O doesn't fit in with the royal family.Later puts in a much better showing against a rat slaver in "The Curse of Ratilla," and hammers Ratar-O himself with an impressive right hook in the same episode.Bare-Fisted Monk: Acquits himself very well against all but the leader of a gang of Alley Cats while otherwise unarmed, but puts in a poorer showing while competing against his brother in the games.Back from the Dead: After the trials two-parter.Audience Surrogate: The most frequent viewpoint character.


In contrast to the '80s series, Lion-O is introduced as a brash, idealistic teenager. Lion-O is a prince, made Lord of the ThunderCats due to the murder of his father, Claudus.
