Panda King (Sly Cooper)

This page is dedicated to Kevin Blackton (1956-2017), who was the original voice for Panda King.

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. He was voiced by Kevin Blackton.

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 two times.
 * 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 in the third game. 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.
