Lion-O — The leader, and the hereditary ‘Lord’ of the ThunderCats. Initially he is a mere boy only twelve years old, but in making the trip to Third Earth he ages physically until he becomes an adult of twenty-four — this due to the suspension capsule diminishing but not altogether preventing aging. On Third Earth, much like his big-cat namesake, the lion, Lion-O has great strength, endurance and agility (as well as a headfull of hair). He also has the cunning and skills of a fighter, but because of his time in the capsule, he missed the experiences needed in growing up. Through his adventures, he gains this maturity while learning what it takes to become a true leader.

Before long, Lion-O must face his most difficult trials: after reaching his twenty-fourth birthday, he must take the Anointment Trials to prove he is fit to become the true Lord of the ThunderCats. In this process, he is forced to contest each of the ThunderCat Nobles in separate trials across the face of Third Earth — without the benefit of using the Sword of Omens, or the Claw Shield. Had Lion-O failed at any one trial, the ThunderCats would no longer honor him as their leader.

He is challenged by Panthro in a Trial of Strength, Cheetara in a Trial of Speed, WilyKit and WilyKat in a Trial of Cunning and Tygra in a Trial of the Mind. The last Trial however, is his toughest, as he must seek out his greatest enemy, and defeat him. This entails travelling to the Black Pyramid and confronting Mumm-Ra, alone. During this trial, Mumm-Ra tries to defeat Lion-O with many of his previous incarnations and disguises, but eventually battles the youth at the center of the Pyramid in a titanic struggle. It is only by hurling Mumm-Ra’s sarcophagus (the source of his powers) into his cauldron that Lion-O is able to emerge victorious (Mumm-Ra would later be resurrected).

In an august ceremony attended by nearly every Third Earth inhabitant, Lion-O is crowned true "Lord of the ThunderCats". (Voiced by Larry Kenney.)
