Lion-O (2011)

Lion-O is the main protagonist of the ThunderCats (2011 TV series). He is the son of king Claudus and brother of Tygra. As current Lord of the ThunderCats, Lion-O is a fearless leader who's ready to jump into the fight, even when it gets him in trouble. He wields the mighty Sword of Omens, the most powerful weapon on Third Earth. 
He was voiced by Will Friedle who also voices Batman from Batman Beyond, Doyle Blackwell from The Secret Saturdays, Ron Stoppable from Kim Possible and Kid Flash from Teen Titians Go!.
==Physical Description==
Lion-O is a Cat of average build with cream and gold-colored fur, spiky red hair, blue/teal eyes, pointed ears, small, elongated fangs, and a striped face. His attire consists of pale blue armor on his shoulders, torso, and hips, with dark blue pants that need to be held up by a large belt, and silver shin guards that also cover and protect his knees. Like all ThunderCats, he has no shoes.
==Personality==
Although cunning and skilled in combat, Lion-O can also be a bit of a hothead. He is the only one at the beginning to believe that technology and Mumm-Ra exists. Lion-O will immediately step up to defend anyone in need, regardless of their species, proclaiming, "No one deserves to be treated like that". His compassion won the help of one of the Lizards while he and Tygra were being held prisoner. This trait was also what caused Cheetara to think of him as different since no one else would do what he did. Sometimes Lion-O's big heart gets the best of him.
In the beginning, Lion-O tended to be a sort of ladies man, first when trying to sound mature when meeting Cheetara the first time, then later pretending to be checking out some local female Thundarians during his training with the Sword of Omens, much to his father's chagrin.
In Song of the Petalars, Lion-O was very annoyed when Snarf jumped on his face when he was having a chat with Cheetara "Are you kidding me!? Now!? This had BETTER be important, Snarf!". Despite this, he can also be quite nervous when Cheetara does the advancing, as seen in Journey to the Tower of Omens.
Lion-O, at the start of the series, showed some resentment towards Tygra for his father's favoritism towards him, wanting a chance to prove himself just as worthy of being succeeding his father as everyone else believed Tygra to be. His beliefs, however, put him at odds with his father, who had a very different ideology concerning how to lead the ThunderCats.

==Trivia==
*Likely one of the most noticeable differences between the two incarnations of Lion-O is their eye colors. Lion-O's were red/brown in the original series; while in this version, his eyes are teal.
*He sometimes says "Whiskers" as a curse word when he or the others are in trouble.
*Just like Hector from Tangled the Series.
