Dorno in Invasion of the Electrode Men (11/11/1967)

 

Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet.  The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

Dorno has a cute, boyish face, long, blond hair, and a slender, athletic physique.  His shirtless Herculoids outfit consists of a pair of brown boots, a light, blue skirt and neck collar, and a gold belt and wrist bands.  At his age, he is growing taller and more attractive and gaining better muscle definition and athletic ability.  He is also developing more self-esteem and self-confidence and taking more risks.

Due to his youth and his lack of special powers, Dorno is certainly one of the most vulnerable members of the Herculoids and is frequently a weak link which their opponents seek to target.

In this episode, the Electrode Men are seeking to convert the planet's matter into energy.  Zandor and Dorno discover the invasion and are attacked.  After Zandor, Dorno, Igoo, and Gloop repel the first wave, the Electrode Men regroup and attack again.  Tara and Dorno are captured.  However, Zandor and the Herculoids enter their cave base, rescue them, and drive away the Electrode Men.

Dorno is captured with Tara by the leader of the Electrode Men.

Dorno has several excellent scenes, being targeted and ultimately captured by the Electrode Men.
