#DOUBLE DRAGON CARTOON SWORDS ABILITY SERIES#

Billy Lee (voiced by Michael Donovan) - The more calm and collected half of the Lee brothers.

They are the leaders of a small group of 'Dragon Warriors' endowed with superhuman powers based on the use of a smokeless, green 'dragon fire'. The brothers infrequently show an ability to sense when the other is in danger. Injury sustained by one is also taken by the other (although this characteristic is not always consistent) and if one has his powers deactivated by injury, so will the other. They usually transform out of those forms by crossing swords again and saying in unison, 'For Might! For Right! We are Double Dragons!', although several episodes show that heavy injury can deactivate their powers. In the series, the Lee brothers are martial-arts instructors and police consultants, who assume superheroic identities at moments of escalated violence. All of the characters introduced from the second episode onward are original creations made for the show, although most of the villains are also used in the Tradewest-produced Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls, a competitive fighting game released for home consoles. By the end of the second episode, Abobo and Willy are sucked into the Shadow Mural, never to be seen again, while Jimmy abandons his evil ways and reconciles with his brother to fight against the series' true antagonist, the Shadow Master. The plot of the pilot episode is loosely adapted from the NES version of the first Double Dragon game, with the episode's villains consisting of the mysterious Shadow Boss (Jimmy's initial alter-ego), and his henchmen Abobo and Willy (who were based on enemy characters from the game). The futile search for their father, John Lee, is a subplot throughout the series. During the course of the series, the brothers recruit allies in their war against the Shadow Master and his henchmen. As a result, the Lee brothers oppose each other as adults but when Jimmy is betrayed by the Shadow Master, he renounces his evil ways and joins his brother as a Dragon Warrior.

Billy is raised by an elderly martial arts master known as the Oldest Dragon, and his brother Jimmy is raised by the evil Shadow Master as his second-in-command, the Shadow Boss. The premise of the show is that the protagonist brothers are separated at birth. It was produced by DiC Animation in association with Bohbot Entertainment and Tradewest, Inc., and ran for 26 half-hour episodes from 1993 to 1994.
