![]() I stuck with watching Thundercats till the end but will admit that midway through season 3 my watching habits had changed, my interest in them lessened and I watched it sporadically at best. ![]() It was adventure and fantasy wrapped into a nice package and had elements of Masters of The Universe, Voltron and The Beastmaster, and this made it a must see toon for me. I can remember being so hyped to watch the first episode of Thundercats and after seeing it, I was not let down. The cartoon, as I said, aired in 1985 and had a total of 130 episodes and ran for 4 seasons ending in 1989. The odd thing though is when I moved to Waynesville in the 1 st grade, I only remember a handful of kids being totally into the cartoon and toys, and they had other top toys to worry about. I for one was on He-Man’s side, but I could not doubt the power and impact this cartoon was having on all our young minds. I even remember one kid saying that Thundercats was better than Masters Of The Universe and many of the kids agreeing with him. This led to every boy I knew wanting to collect the action figures that were being made by LJN. I was about six years old when the cartoon was out and was in first grade and can remember kids talking about the cartoon and how epic it was on the playground at Beavertown Elementary. The animation was done better than Masters of The Universe and had a Japanese flair to it that made us believe we were watching something more than a cartoon. Of course I am talking about Thundercats! The cartoon hit airwaves back in 1985 and was a solid hit with the youth at the time. On top of her combat skills, Cheetara also has some knowledge in the mystic arts taught to her by Jaga.Rotten…Rotten….Rotten Ink Ho! Yeah, I know that one was lame but welcome back to my little flashback place on the web, and with it being Christmas Eve, I decided to take a look at one of the heavy hitters that Star Comics has to offer, something that I watched the cartoon of and even collected the figures when they came out. She originally had a retractable cleric's staff that was eventually replaced with the Staff of Viragor which had geokinetic properties allowing her to grow roots that could rip through the ground like tissue paper. Cheetara is also an adept hand-to-hand combatant but prefers her staff. She has smashed in massive boulders and blitzed transport ships in half. She also has an enhanced durability and super strength. Her speed has shown no upper limit and she loses the loses the original's weakness in being able to only do it for short periods. She casually blitzes hoards of enemies and has outran the Thundertank and its motorcycles in a race. ![]() In the 2011 remake, Cheetara's retains her signature superspeed. Cheetara is in a relationship with Tygra. Upon finding the Book of Omens, the team realizes that in order to stop Mumm-Ra, they must unite the animals and find all the stones of power. Cheetara now accompanies both Lion-O and Tygra on their journey to find the Book of Omens and stop Mumm-Ra along with the Thunderkittens Wilykit and Wilykat, and Panthro. Cheetara was told by Jaga that it was her duty to watch and guard Lion-O. Lion-O and Tygra manage to free Cheetara and are surprised that the cleric they saved was her. During the attack on Thundera, she was fighting on the field as Jaga's clerics but was eventually captured. She was later seen helping Lion-O and Tygra fight an angry mob who were threatening two lizardmen who were falsely accused. During Lion-O's sword ceremony, Cheetara is one of the clerics that presented the Sword of Omens to Lion-O. Cheetara is first seen coming to Lion-O's aid when he fights a couple of goons in the slums of Thundera. Other Media 2011 Animated SeriesĪ re-vamped, younger Cheetara (around early twenties) has returned in the remake of Thundercats where she is the last living Cleric where she was an orphan. She also carries a bo staff that can grow into various sizes and is attached to her armband when not in use.

Her powers consist of a “sixth sense” which detects when there is danger about or if evil is close by. ![]() Cheetara is a the only adult female Thundercat and is very brave and caring. ![]()
