- —Lion-O
Prince Lion-O is the main protagonist of the ThunderCats series. He appeared in the 26th episode and Season 2 Premiere of Death Battle, He-Man VS Lion-O, where he fought against He-Man from the Masters of the Universe series.
History
Lion-O was born the prince of the planet Thundera, but he was sent to Third Earth along with five Thunderian nobles in order to escape its destruction and preserve the planet's royal lineage. While en route to their destination, Lion-O's cryo-stasis pod malfunctioned, causing his body to age ten years on his journey. He grew in size, but he did not grow up. As the newly-crowned king and leader of the ThunderCats, Lion-O had to grow up fast, both mentally and physically, in order to combat the evils haunting Third Earth, including the vile sorcerer, Mumm-Ra.
