Dorno in Antidote (12/23/1967)

 


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, Zandor swings into a giant spider web and bitten.  While Tara cares for her husband, Dorno sneaks into the endless caves to obtain the antidote from the Spider Men, who refuse the boy and drop him into a hole in the floor.  Igoo rescues Dorno, who steals the antidote from the Spider Men, escapes the endless caves, and returns to save Zandor.

Dorno is the hero of this episode, leading the Herculoids into the endless caves to obtain the antidote to save Zandor.  His adventures include being captured by the Spider Men and dropped into a hole in the floor.

Dorno succeeds in saving Zandor and shares a warm, final hero scene with his family.
