Panda King (Sly Cooper)

Panda King is a former antagonist turned minor protagonist of the Sly Cooper franchise. He was a frustrated firework artist turned homicidal pyromaniac turned friend.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Panda King is a memorable minor character for the Sly Cooper franchise.
 * 2) He is very quotable. "Palms of thunder!" "Fiery wheel!" "Booming chop!"
 * 3) As with the other Fiendish Five members except Clockwerk, he does radio chatter at the base.
 * 4) Panda King's gameplay in the third game is good, with great controls for the fireworks.
 * 5) He upgraded from minor villain of Sly 1 to minor hero of Sly 3 with more screen time.
 * 6) He undergoes great character development. He was mentally fixated on his defeat until Sly eventually made him sad. He even tells himself that Sly Cooper taught him humility.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) He was surprisingly too easy to defeat in Sly 1.

Trivia

 * Panda King was originally the first boss of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.
