In the original series her powers are capped, such as her super-speed only being sustained for short periods and her Sixth Sense showing her visions that leave her physically exhausted for hours after the fact.
#CAST OF THUNDERCATS CARTOON FULL#
With super speed clocking in at 120 MPH, the mystic future-seeing abilities of her Sixth Sense, and her handy dandy bo staff that could also shoot energy beams, Cheetara is the full package warrior when she’s not being the general voice of reason within the ThunderCats Characters. Cheetara Photo credit: SamHeartsArt Ĭheetara is one of the most iconic female cartoon characters from the ’80s for good reason. However, Jaga is still present throughout the rest of the series as a ghost first only visible to Lion-O, ready to dispense advice and knowledge as the young Lion-O struggled to live up to his potential as Lord of the ThunderCats. He was obviously successful in his task but died of old age before the others awoke. Having been a Lord of the ThunderCats Characters and in possession of the Sword of Omens back in his youth, Jaga was the one who helped the royalty of Thundera escape the planet’s destruction by sacrificing himself to pilot the spaceship while everyone slept in their suspension capsules. JagaĪlso known as Jaga the Wise, Jaga the jaguar is Lion-O’s most trusted mentor. This character growth was one that many children watching the series could aspire and relate to, and his wicked cool Sword of Omens, Eye of Thundera, and Claw Shield certainly had viewers shouting, “Whiskers!” whenever they saw him on screen.
Viewers watched as he mentally grew from a brash yet cunning prince into a wise and realized leader through the help of his friends, the guidance of his mentors, and the constant battles he fought on Third Earth. Because of this, Lion-O has much to learn about being a leader over the course of the series. During the escape flight from Thundera to Third Earth Lion-O’s suspension capsule didn’t freeze the aging of his body, making it so that he awoke as a twelve-year-old in a grown lion man’s body.
The headstrong and childishly fearless Lord of the ThunderCats Characters, Lion-O is the main character of the series. The Protagonists Lion-O Photo credit: Nuno de Azevedo To remind us of the lessons of friendship, respect, and justice that all the ThunderCats first taught us long ago, here’s a complete list of ThunderCats characters. Thus, while the image of Lion-O’s wind tousled red hair and matching red-eyed sword persists at the front of pop culture’s mind, characters like Ratar-O and Jaga have been sidelined by the sands of time. All in all, since the original 1985 ThunderCats run, the Cats’ have had little screen time. This classic tale of alien expatriates finding a new home has been rebooted once before in 2011, but that series was unfortunately canceled after a single season. As the ThunderCats try to make a new home on this strange land, Lion-O must lead his people through a battle with Mumm-Ra, the tyrannical ruler of Third Earth who refuses to let any beings challenge his reign. In the show, Lion-O and his fellow ThunderCats must recover from a sudden escape from their homeworld Thundera on the tumultuous land of Third Earth. With the constant stream of reboots coming out every year, it’s no wonder that Cartoon Network snatched the nostalgic ThunderCats up for their newest 2019 cartoon Lion-O and the ThunderCats.
