'''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. | |||

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 [[Wikipedia:Egomania|the Great Leon]]. | 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]].
