With the talk about the Black Panther movie and in honor of Black History Month, I give you my fanart everyone's favorite lightning bruiser/gadgeteer genius, Panthro from ThunderCats. As we all know, Panthro, just like the aforementioned hero, based on the actual panther, is very strong, very agile, very smart and his mastery of nunchucks rivals that of either Bruce Lee or Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And besides, nobody drives the Thundertank but him.
And on a personal note, this fanart has double meaning. Because not only I am honoring Black History Month with Panthro, but I am also dedicating this fanart to the actor who voiced him, Earle Hyman, who recently passed away last year, along with all the other voice actors who have since passed, including the legendary June Foray. This fanart is for him. Godspeed, Mr. Hyman and thanks for all the memories, especially giving us the awesome that is Panthro.
ThunderCats, HOOOOOOO!!
