Later on, Lion-O was seeking a method of freeing Jaga from the astral plane and thus he sought out the legendary Nether-Witch. Mumm-Ra then threw Panthro into the Bottomless Chasm, but he was saved by Lion-O, allowing him to defeat Hammerhand. He created a clone body of Panthro, which he had Hammerhand inhabit, allowing him to wreck havoc on Third Earth. Some time after this, Mumm-Ra summoned a mechanoid being called Driller to capture Panthro for him. She helped Mumm-Ra capture the Thundercats, but before the mummy could kill Lion-O, Willa threw the Sword of Omens to Lion-O, allowing the Thundercats to defeat Mumm-Ra and his minions. Thus he captured a warrior maiden named Willa, telling her she could use the Sword of Omens to become Queen of Third Earth. Mumm-Ra made Tygra obtain the Sword of Omens for him, but he could not use its power or destroy it. Later on, Mumm-Ra turned into a nymph-like creature called Silky to give Tygra a drug-like fruit that brought the Thundercat under his control.
Thus Mumm-Ra was blasted by lightning and forced to retreat, allowing Lion-O to retrieve the sword. He began sabotaging everything and eventually tried to steal the Sword of Omens, but the Sword of Omens couldn’t be used for an evil deed.
However Lion-O managed to defeat Mumm-Ra, who was undone when he saw his own reflection, and the mutants in their first battle, marking the beginning of a long-lasting conflict between Mumm-Ra and the Thundercats.Īt one point, Mumm-Ra turned himself into a Thunderian named Pumm-Ra to infiltrate the Thundercats. He forced them join forces with him to obtain the Sword of Omens. After the Mutants of Plun-Darr came to Third Earth in pursuit of the Thundercats, they came across Mumm-Ra’s pyramid. Thus the Spirits of Evil used Mumm-Ra to extend their influence upon Third Earth, providing him with a sarcophagus that granted him eternal life. However they could not extend their influence beyond the Black Pyramid that contained four statues of them. Once he completed his task they gave him the ability to become Mumm-Ra, the Ever-Living - a being of great power with the capability to defeat any Pharaoh.Īn ancient native to Third-Earth, Mumm-Ra was the servant of the Ancient Spirits of Evil, four god-like beings of incredible power. They ordered their servant to build the four giant statues seen in his pyramid, a task that would take over 600 years to finish. However the spirits were not having any of that due to Mumm-Ra's incompetence in facing the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh's son, who was fully aware of Mumm-Ra's immortality took great joy in seeing Mumm-Ra entombed.įollowing his entombment Mumm-Ra begged the Ancient Spirits to help him. Due to his years of loyal service the Pharaoh - unaware that his former adviser was now immortal - decided to grant Wahankh a noble death, being entombed alive as a mummified being in a pyramid. However the Pharaoh's son soon defeated him in battle. Mumm-Ra confronted the Pharaoh and demanded he bow down in front of him. Wahankh's body mutated into a cadaverous grey form, and he was given the new name Mumm-Ra. They infused Wahankh with their evil power, creating a powerful sorcerer. When they appeared Wahankh requested they grant him some of their power in order to overthrow the Pharaoh and in exchange he would rule Egypt as their humble servant. Wahankh used four magic runes which represented each of the spirits to summon them for the first time. In Wildstorm’s comic Thundercats Origins: Heroes and Villains an ancient Egyptian man named Wahankh - one of the reigning Pharaoh's most trusted advisers - decided to betray the Pharaoh and overthrow him in a coup.
