=== Lion-O ===

[[File:Thundercats_Lion-O_892.jpg|frame]]

Lord of The Thundercats.

* [[Adult Child]]: Lion-O is actually the youngest member of the cast. The only reason he looks so old is that his suspension pod broke during the escape from Thundera, causing him to age in his sleep while the others all remained the same. He spends most of the (early) series [[Character Development|learning to be a mature and responsible leader]].

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: His armour has a conspicuous opening for his abs.

* [[By the Power of Greyskull]]: "Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats, Ho!"

** And if he's prevented from saying it, he can't summon the Eye of Thundera.

* [[Empathic Weapon]]: The Sword of Omens.

* [[Green Lantern Ring]]: The Sword of Omens again.

=== Panthro ===

[[File:Thundercats_Panthro_3036.jpg|frame]]

* [[Bald of Awesome]]/[[Furry Baldness]]

* [[The Big Guy]]: Panthro is a Class V hands down. Not only the physically strongest member of the team, but he also ''built'' every piece of technology the Thundercats use, starting with the [[Cool Car|Thundertank]].

** Practically spelled out in the first episode, when the Mutants attack:

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: He was able to build the Thundertank using components that he ''[[Insistent Terminology|salvaged]]'' from the Thundercats' wrecked ship.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]

=== Tygra ===

=== Cheetara ===

[[File:Thundercats_Cheetara_3920.jpg|frame]]

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[The Chick]]: Although she can definitely hold her own in combat.

[[File:Thundercats_Wilykat_7968.jpg|frame]]

[[File:Thundercats_Wilykit_7465.jpg|frame]]

* [[Bratty Half-Pint|Bratty Half Pints]]: Frequently.

* [[Genki Girl]]: Wilykit

* [[Idiot Ball]]: The plot would occasionally get started because they decided it'd be fun to, say, open up an ancient tomb or "borrow" the others' weapons without permission.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: No explanation is ever given for who the twins' parents were or what happened to them.

* [[Sibling Seniority Squabble]]: In the Wildstorm comics, at least. Wilykat does ''not'' like being called "Little Brother."

* [[Tagalong Kid|Tagalong Kids]]

* [[Tricksters]]: Most of their weapons and tactics rely on misdirection, blinding opponents, etc.

=== Snarf (AKA {{spoiler|Osbert}}) ===

[[File:Thundercats_Snarf_6014.jpg|frame]]

[[File:Thundercats_Hachiman_8152.jpg|frame]]

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: As Monkian describes, "Did you see that!? He chopped through solid stone!"

* [[Empathic Weapon]]: His katana, "Thundercutter," which will not come out of its scabbard if Hachiman tries to use it to perform an act of evil (like say, any order by Mumm-Ra).

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Oh sure, just keep hacking away at the narrow bridge over the near-[[Bottomless Pit]] you and Lion-O are both standing on until he agrees to backtrack and let you pass. You might both fall to your death, but at least you'll maintain your pride as a samurai! (Not that [[Hot-Blooded|Lion-O]] was behaving any better at the time, mind you.)

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Come on, he was fooled by Mumm-Ra twice even though he wasn't using any disguises or anything.
