Dorno in Uglor Conquers the Universe (11/14/1981)

 


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, a neutron galaxy gives Uglor new powers, allowing his mind to possess animals and plants in Quasar and to affect the material universe.  A peaceful giant animal turns hostile, throwing energy rocks at Zok, Dorno, and Gleep, causing the boy to fall.  However, he is saved by Gleep.  A plant uses vines to grab Dorno around his waist and drop the boy into its pod.  However, he is saved by Igoo.  The Teen Force arrive and help the Herculoids obtain a cosmic cone which removes Uglor's new powers.
