Context (Event Photos, Primary Sources, Secondary Sources, Field Notes)
"Mumm-Ra the Everliving, evil devil priest of Third Earth, has lived for centuries, since the planet was known as First Earth. With his loyal hound Ma-Mutt, Mumm-Ra was the source of all evil on the planet, residing within his black pyramid and drawing vast amounts of power from The Ancient Spirits of Evil. Mumm-Ra's decayed form could be transformed into that of Mumm-Ra the Everliving by a chant which went 'Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decayed form to Mumm-Ra the Everliving!' In his Everliving form Mumm-Ra became even more powerful, but was forced to return to his sarcophagus within his pyramid and rest after a time. Mumm-Ra's greatest weakness however, was that he could not stand to see his own reflection, and look upon all his evil."
"Mumm-Ra often boasts to the ThunderCats that their efforts to stop him and destroy evil are futile because the malevolent forces that drive him cannot be eradicated. The villain makes this abundantly clear in the early first season episode "Pumm-Ra," when he takes on the form of a ThunderCat to deceive the heroes and move among them undetected. Once he is found out, though, Mumm-Ra reverts to his vile appearance and explains that they are the alien invaders, not him, since he has inhabited Third Earth for 1,000 years. He also asserts that since he has existed for so long, the ThunderCats' chances of destroying him are slim to none."
