New Thundercats
Lynx-o, Ben Gali, and Pumyra join the Thundercats to fight injustice!!!
Lynx-O (voice by Bob McFadden) — The oldest of the trio,
based on the lynx, Lynx-O was spared the sight of the destruction of
their homeworld by a cruel twist of fate: a blast of intense heat
and fire blinded him moments before he and his two younger
companions were rescued, leaving his eyes red, denoting blindness.
Because of this injury, Lynx-O has had to adapt to survive on Third
Earth, and has done so by honing his other senses to superhuman
levels. His sense of touch, smell, taste and hearing are far above
those of the other ThunderCats, and this affords him a type of
"sixth sense," though it is not like the one Cheetara possesses.
Though blind, Lynx-O is still a formidable fighter. His sense of
touch allows him to find pressure points on a foe’s body to knock
them off balance or stun them. He can also feel vibrations, which
allow him to evade attacks and capture, and can use a Sonic
Reflector as a weapon in combat. His greatest skill comes in
utilizing a special "braille board," a device that allows him
to translate information coming from sensor systems inside the Tower
of Omens, enabling him to see into the gloom of Dark Side.
Ben-Gali (voice by Peter Newman) — One of the two younger
Thundereans among the trio, named after the bengal tiger but more
resembling a white tiger, this warrior is a skilled blacksmith like
his father before him. This talent proves valuable after the Sword
of Omens is once again broken. Fast and agile like Tygra, Ben-Gali
is called "brother" by him, but it is unclear if they share a true
familial bond or if the greeting is merely meant as a term of
endearment (given that the new ThunderCats repeatedly call the
originals "Nobles" while referring to themselves as "mere
Thundereans," it seems unlikely that there is any family
relationship between the two). Another possibility is that because
they are both tigers, the Ben-Gal clan may be cousins to the Tygra
clan, even though one is considered nobility while the other is not.
In combat, Ben-Gali wields a weapon called the Hammer of Thundera.
It can shoot energy blasts, and carries smoke pellets in its handle,
to allow him to cause confusion and provide cover for withdrawal
from a fight.
Pumyra (voice by Gerrianne Raphael) — Another female
Thunderean — along with Cheetara and WilyKit — this young woman,
based on the puma, is a talented healer and medic. She uses her
knowledge of Thunderean medicine, combined with the wide range of
medicinal supplies to be found on Third Earth, to help heal and cure
her fellow ThunderCats. Her compassionate nature lends to offering
an alternative perspective, solving problems or conflict without
fighting by using compromise and understanding. Possibly the most
agile ThunderCat next to the ThunderKittens, Pumyra employs an
incredible leaping ability — often able to vault higher than even
great jumpers like Tygra or the ThunderKittens. In combat, she uses
a special whipcord, which resembles a "cat’s tail," that can launch
special pellets and spheres like an ancient sling.
