Fiction[]
Voltron: Defender of the Universe TV series[]
A graduate of the Space Academy, Hunk did field training on one of the worlds of the Galaxy Alliance. [1] He was assigned to the scout team, led by Keith, which was sent to Planet Arus and was captured by the forces of Doom. [2] After escaping Planet Doom, he and the others made their way to the Castle of Lions on Arus. He was a founding member of the Voltron Force, and was partnered with Yellow Lion. [3]
Hunk is often portrayed as a strong man with a good heart. Occasionally this gets him in trouble, such as when pretty spy Twyla is able to infiltrate the Castle after Hunk trusts and advocates for her.[4]
He had advocated bringing the war to Doom. [5] [6] Eventually, the Galaxy Alliance was able to spare enough support to do that. [7] [8] [9]
Later, after the forces of Doom rear their heads again, he convinces the pacifist scientist Mary Ann there are sometimes good reasons to fight back that do not always require aggression. This motivates her to decide to create a good robot for defense to challenge the one Doom forces took from her and turned in to an offensive weapon.[10]
Notes[]
- Hunk does not have a last name in Defender of the Universe. In the comics by Devil's Due Publishing re-imagining the Defender of the Universe story, the character Hunk is given the full name Tsuyoshi "Hunk" Garret.
