Dorno in Revenge of the Pirates (12/16/1967)

 


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 Pirates return to retrieve their buried treasure.  They also lure Zandor, Igoo, and Tundro into a trap, shooting them with an immobilization ray.  Tara and Dorno's attempt to infiltrate the Pirate ship and rescue their friends backfire, and they are captured.  Zok rescues Zandor, Igoo, and Tundro, while Gloop rescues Tara and Dorno.  The Herculoids then proceed to defeat the Pirates.

Dorno is captured with Tara in an attempt to rescue Zandor, Igoo, and Tundro.  The Pirates intend to keep them as slaves after leaving the Herculoids immobilized.  However, after Zok frees Zandor, Igoo, and Tundro, they threaten mother and son with a dissection ray.

Dorno has some fine scenes being captured and in captivity.  With Gloop's help, and accompanied by Tara, he infiltrates the Pirate ship and threatens the leader with his own sidearm, which he steals.  However, when he finds multiple guns pointed at him and Tara, his confident expression and hold on the sidearm drop.
