Lion-O

Lion-O, also known as Lord of The ThunderCats, is the main protagonist from the ThunderCats series.
== Charactah Account ==
Lion-O is the son of Claudus, and the leader and hereditary "Lord of the ThunderCats". His adventures are shown from childhood to adulthood on Third Earth and New Thundera, together with his friends and followers, the ThunderCats.
When he arrived on Third Earth he was an adult, Lion-O did not have the chance to age naturally, thus he was a child in an adult's body. He was immature and headstrong. It took him a long while to mature. It was a very difficult process.
On Third Earth, much like his big-cat namesake, Lion-O had super strength, endurance, and agility. Very handsome, as described by Cheetara. He also had the cunning and skills of a fighter, but because of the time spent in his capsule, he missed the experiences needed in growing up. Now acknowledged as the heir to the throne of the ThunderCats, he wields Jaga's legendary Sword of Omens. Panthro and Tygra will serve as role models to Lion-O and later on, he will ask for some advice from Lynx-O, but his main mentor and guide will still be Jaga the Wise.

== Trivia ==
* Lion-O's voice actor, Larry Kenney also voiced characters such as Jackalman, among others, including Claudus in the 2011 series.
* In ThunderCats (2011 TV series), since Lion-O is in his mid teens, tends to be a little more mature but is still hot-headed. His body is nearly as strong as his 80s version but remains a bit younger and skinny.
* Lion-O's early production name was originally "Lion-El", but was changed in order to avoid brand confusion with the Lionel brand of model trains.
* Lion-O is the only character to appear in all 130 episodes.
* The suspension capsule malfunction was never in the original script or show notes; it was never directly addressed in the series proper. A malfunctioning suspension capsule was retconned as the reason for Lion-O's aging in the 2002 Wildstorm ThunderCats Source Book.
