- "Annoying bird! I am the great Leon!"
- — Leon Powalski, Star Fox 64
Leon Powalski (レオン ポワルスキー Reon Powarusukī) is a member of the Star Wolf Team, and is the only member other than Wolf himself that has been on the team since its creation. Leon's past is unknown, but he most likely had some past rivalry with Falco Lombardi and somewhat Slippy Toad, whom he mainly concentrates on during dogfights in Star Fox 64 and bickers with in Star Fox: Assault.
Leon's personality has changed noticeably since Star Fox 64. He has gone from a classy, competent pilot to a crazed, ruthless assassin who usually gives a deranged laugh after defeating a foe. His voice has also changed dramatically to suit this; originally, his tone was calm and sinister, but it has recently become high-pitched and maniacal.
Despite his ruthless swagger and love of the hunt, Leon loves to adorn his maniacal disposition to maintain his spot as the assassin on the Star Wolf Team. This shows that he is somewhat of a narcissist, and enjoys his feared reputation as the killer, as indicated from quotes: "Annoying Bird! I am the Great Leon!" (64) when he is chasing Falco, and "Who do you think I am?!?" (Assault) when you shoot at him.
Oddly, his personality in Star Fox Command seems to contradict his cold-blooded image. It is implied that, beneath his facade, he has a soft spot for peace. This is hinted at in his profile in the Pilot Gallery and his rejoicing after defeating the Anglar Emperor because he claims that he will look forward to parades with flowers and other such niceties. This may imply that he may be a different person under the cold-blooded reputation he had earned throughout the series.
Leon has been voiced by Shinobu Satouchi in all Japanese versions of the games. In Star Fox 64, he and Wolf O'Donnell were voiced by Rick May; in Star Fox: Assault, he and Panther Caroso were voiced by David Scully. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he and Fox McCloud are voiced by Jim Walker.
In Star Fox Command, Leon has a customized ship called the Rainbow Delta, which may allude to his supposed soft spot or reference the fact that chameleons can change the hue of their scales into a rainbow of colors.
Appearance and personality
Leon's appearance is based on that of a Chameleon. In Star Fox: Assault, he is featured wearing a blue jump-suit.
His official debut was in Star Fox 64 on the planet Fortuna, or later on Bolse or Venom Here, his primary target would always be Falco Lombardi. While engaged with Falco, Leon would often comment on his own superiority and, when shot down, became incensed by the fact that he had been defeated despite being the Great Leon.
In Star Fox: Assault, his demeanor and personality had drastically changed, he was portrayed as a dangerous psychopath and assassin, rather than the calm sadist he was in Star Fox 64.
History
- "A member of Star Wolf who's a cold-blooded assassin. He has no morals or conscience and will perform any job with machinelike disinterest."

Star Fox 64
Spoiler warning: The following contains key plot or ending details.
In Star Fox 64, Leon was a member of the original Star Wolf team that was hired by Andross during the Lylat Wars. His first encounter with the Star Fox team since the war began was on the planet Fichina. Here he tried to prevent the team from stopping a bomb from going off in a Cornerian base. He directly focused on fighting Falco and declares himself as the "great Leon". Leon was quickly shot down by Fox, who then proceeded to take out the bomb. When he is shot down, he is in disbelief that he could be shot down.
If Fox failed to shoot down Leon, he retreats to defend the the Bolse Defense Outpost.
If the Star Fox team managed to make their way through Area 6 to get to Venom, Leon and the rest of Star Wolf would spring an ambush in their new, advanced ship, the Wolfen II. Leon was forced to use special targeting systems to pilot this ship. Unfortunately for Leon, he was still bested by the Star Fox team and went under their radar for nine years.
Star Fox: Assault
In the nine years following up to Star Fox: Assault, Star Wolf left the Venomian Army's employment, lost two members, and gained a third. Other than Wolf himself, Leon was the only Star Wolf member to see these nine years through. Leon assisted Wolf in building an empire in the Sargasso Space Zone. When Star Fox infiltrated the base, Leon, along with Wolf and the team's newest member, Panther Caroso, returned and fought the team. Once again, Leon was defeated by Fox. When the Star Fox team stormed the base of Pigma Dengar in the Asteroid Belt, they found the ruined remains of the Wolfens.
After Fox was ambushed by the Aparoids, Star Wolf revealed their survival and saved him. Leon and Star Wolf followed Star Fox to the Beltino Orbital Gate and helped them destroy the missiles sent to destroy the base. They also entered the warp to the Aparoid Homeworld. Before the Star Fox team made it to the Aparoid Queen, Leon with the rest of Star Wolf distracted the queen's guards so that Star Fox could make their move.
