* TheCorrupter: Mumm-Ra shows some signs of this. He manages to use Grune's ambition and paranoia to make him betray the Cats, and he uses the Lizards' hatred of the Cats to recruit them into his army. [[spoiler: And in the finale it's revealed Mumm-Ra used a dying Pumyra's hatred of Lion-O for supposedly abandoning her to make her work for him as TheMole.]]

Mumm-Ra was the ancient foe of Thundercats, long ago defeated. Resurfacing, Mumm-Ra masterminded Thundera's downfall to obtain the Eye of Thundera, the jewel within the Sword of Omens' hilt.

* {{Archenemy}}: To the Thundercats.

* [[spoiler:CommandingCoolness: Pre-{{Gotterdammerung}}, Mumm-Ra was the Commander of a SpaceNavy that took the Eye of Thundera as {{Plunder}}, and counted ''Thundercats'' among his underlings.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: [[spoiler:even after getting his InfinityPlusOneSword back, he avoids getting lax about keeping active track of the Thundercats. Three words: SixthRangerTraitor.]]

* TheManBehindTheCurtain: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] TheDreaded ancient enemy of the Thundercats is a small, stooped, old, emaciated...red-eyed EvilSorcerer and ''HumanoidAbomination.'' His physical frailty only serves to make him more disturbing.
** And then he transforms, and the Thundercats [[CurbStompBattle get their tails handed to them]].

** Later, in "Recipe for Disaster," he uses the ashes of the long-dead Dragon of Sycorax to [[BackFromTheDead summon the monster]]... as part of a ritual to [[DemonicPossession take over its body]] and use it to fight the Thundercats.

* [[spoiler:RavensAndCrows]]: Mumm-Ra's desperation form, which he uses to flee after coming too close to defeat at the hands of the Thundercats, and for stealth purposes.

* GenreSavvy: As a Thunderian General, Grune understands very well how to play a role as a means to an end, persistently seeking ways to get and stay in Thundera's halls of power and the public eye. As TheDragon, when he sets a trap for the Thundercats, he calls out as he [[VillainExitStageLeft makes his escape]], [[WeWillMeetAgain "Until next time, Panthro!"]] wisely assuming that since Panthro [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat somehow survived]] his first brush with death, he'd do so again.

* MonsterModesty: Slithe doesn't wear much compared to the Thundercats.

* WeHaveReserves: He wants to burn down the Briar Woods to get the Thundercats. His scouting party's still inside? "They are expendable... as are ''you'', Lieutenant!"

* LoadBearingBoss: After [[spoiler: Lion-O defeats him in "Old Friends", the mine around the Thundercats begins to collapse from the damage he'd caused.]]

* AntiVillain: Ostensibly a [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist III]] or even a [[HeroAntagonist Type IV]]. Sure, he's an arrogant twit and antagonistic to the Thundercats, but they pretty much stormed into his city and intended to steal a powerstone that [[spoiler:is vital for Avista's survival]]. He's not even shown to be tyrannical (as one would assume from his social position), and has shown [[EvenEvilHasStandards moral disdain]] towards the cats' past tyranny against other species.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Calls the Thundercats out for their FantasticRacism against the other animal clans... but it's pretty clear that he has a lesser opinion of anyone who isn't of the Bird people, himself.

* SacredHospitality: Despite barely hiding his FantasticRacism, he was a fairly decent patron until the Thundercats demanded the techstone.
* SoreLoser: Accepts Tygra's challenge to a flying race for the Tech stone with the War and Spirit stones on the line. When Tygra wins, he declares the wager null and void, and has the Thundercats placed under house arrest. In fairness, he wasn't really in a position to give the tech stone away, though that just emphasises his arrogance in accepting the wager in the first place.

* AdaptationalBadass: The original's sedentary {{Mummy}} playing OrcusOnHisThrone is not in evidence here. SquishyWizard he may be, but Mumm-Ra makes his debut with an impressive act of regicide, followed up with the [[OneHitKill slaughter]] of Claudus' PraetorianGuard, all without breaking a sweat ''or'' breaking out the OneWingedAngel.

* EvilFormerFriend: To both Claudus and Panthro

* FlungClothing: Grune casts aside his armor in this way

* CarryABigStick: A big freaking mace [[hottip:*: which appears to be a Japanese [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanab%C5%8D kanabo]].]] that turns into a [[{{BFG}} big freaking]] LightningGun. Had a more traditional round-headed mace before his FaceHeelTurn.

-->''Voiced by: JamesArnoldTaylor, MatthewMercer, and Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson''

* BloodKnight
* CarryABigStick: Not as massive as Grune's and lacking the lightning, but Addicus does swing around a mean-looking double-headed mace.
* ImAHumanitarian: He seems to have an appetite for other sentients. Let's start with his would-be avian executioners and go from there. Of course, from what we see later of the birds, they may qualify as [[AssholeVictim Jerkass Victims]].

* TheNoseKnows : The first time he fights Tygra, the Thundercat turns invisible for a stealth attack but Kaynar defeats him because he can still sense the Cat's scent.
