Dorno in Worlds in Collision (9/19/1981)

 


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 Herculoids team up with Space Ghost to prevent the collision of their planet Quasar with the Ghost Planet.  Jan, Dorno, Igoo, and Gleep, returning to the Ghost Planet to strengthen its force field, are captured by Uglor's teleportation beam, along with Jace, Tara, Zok, and Gloop.  However, they escape and help Space Ghost and Zandor defeat Uglor and stop the collision.

Jan and Dorno make an attractive, if largely ineffective, team.
