Brother Zevon

In the post-apocalyptic realm of Thunder the Barbarian, Zevon had been a powerful werewolf who led a pack of wolfmen known as the Brotherhood of The Night.  He could take on a human appearance in the light of day and transform at will into a wolfman after dark.  Furthermore, Zevon had the ability to transform others into werewolves simply by touching them.  Once transformed into a werewolf, such individuals would also become entirely subservient to Zevon’s will.  

As Brother Zevon continued to add new members to his pack, his power grew and his hunting ground expanded.  Soon he took over a territory that had previously belonged to the evil wizard known as Infernus.

Wishing to be rid of the Brotherhood of the Night so to reclaim his territory, Infernus sought out Thundarr the Barbarian and his allies Ariel the Sorceress and Ookla the Mott.  The wizard tricked Thundarr into believing he was kindly and that his interests in defeating Zevon and his pack were strictly benevolent.  Thundarr was tricked once more when, in his human guise, Zevon convinced the barbarian that it was actually Infernus who was the true threat.  

Zevon almost won out, having transformed Infernos as well as Princess Ariel into werewolves.  Yet Thundarr saved the day when he threw Zevon into a magical pool that had the effect of undoing lycanthropy.  The entirety of Zevon’s pack were restored to their human selves.  Whereas Zevon himself transformed into a large, gray wolf... thus indicating that he had never been human in the first place and was actually a wolf with the powers to transform into a man.  With his powers gone, Zevon ran off into the night.    

The name ‘Zevon’ is a homage to musician, Warren Zevon, whose most renowned hit is the song ‘Werewolves Of London.’  Actor Keye Luke provided the voice for the werewolf, first appearing in the seventh episode of the first season of Thundarr the Barbarian, airing on November 15th, 1980.

Gemini 

In the post-apocalyptic realm inhabited by Thunder the Barbarian, Gemini was an evil cyborg sorcerer who ruled other the isle of Manhat with an iron fist.  As a strange result of his cybernetics, Gemini possessed something of a split-personality with each persona controlling one of the two faces on either side of his head.  There is a more aggressive and ill-tempered side as well as one that is more calm and diplomatic, yet no less evil. To switch from one persona to another, Gemini’s helmet closed over the current face, while his neck rotated around so to reveal the other face.

Gemini was defeated and seemingly killed in his first altercation with Thunder and his allies.  Yet the sorcerer survived and went into hiding as the wandering wizard known as Janis.  He would later hatch a scheme to gain dominion over the realm by raising an army of rock warriors.  Once more he battled Thundarr and this time it appeared as though the villain was vanquished once and for all as he was thrown into a magical pool that turned him to stone.

Actor Henry Corden provided the voice of Gemini.  The villain first appeared in the first episode of Thundarr the Barbarian, airing on October 11th, 1980.
