=== ''Star Fox 64'' ===
{{Spoiler}}
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)|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 Lombardi|Falco]] and declares himself as the "great Leon". Leon was quickly shot down by [[Fox McCloud|Fox]], who then proceeded to take out the bomb. When he is shot down, he is in disbelief that he could be shot down.


=== Early History ===
If Fox failed to shoot down Leon, he retreats to defend the the [[Bolse Defense Outpost]].
Not much is made known of Leon Powalski, though it can be assumed he is a long time ally of [[Wolf O'Donnell]] since they joined the Venomian Army, as Wolf allowed him to join his elite fighter squadron [[Star Wolf]].

=== The Great Leon ===
Leon was a member of Wolf O'Donnell's original Star Wolf team that was hired by [[Andross]] during the [[Lylat Wars]]. His first encounter with the [[Star Fox (team)|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 also fought Star Fox ace pilot, Falco Lombardi. Leon was quickly shot down by team leader, [[Fox McCloud]], who then proceeded to take out the bomb. If Leon was not shot down by Fox, he defended 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.

=== Leon's Return ===
=== ''Star Fox: Assault'' ===
During those nine years, 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 [[Meteo|Asteroid Belt]], they found the ruined remains of the Wolfens.

After Fox was ambushed by the [[Aparoid|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.

=== Game appearances ===
==''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
*''[[Star Fox 64]]''
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
*''[[Star Fox: Assault]]''
Leon makes a cameo appearance in the Lylat Cruise level of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. If you use Fox, [[Falco]], or Wolf on the stage and press the taunt buttons repeatedly without being interrupted, Leon and other Star Fox characters will comment on the battle. Leon is featured in the following events:
*''[[Star Fox Command]]''
*1. [[Star Fox Team|Star Fox]] encounters Star Wolf and will not let them leave alive. Wolf also tells Fox that '''he''' will take him down.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' (cameo)
*2. Star Fox and Star Wolf meet once again. Leon appears to have a new ship as they head into the battle, where Falco is fighting other opponents.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' (cameo)
*3. As the stage and Star Wolf head into the skirmish, Leon becomes envious of Wolf - perhaps a bit too envious, as he gets carried away and [[Panther]] asks him what he's actually jealous of.
 
*4. Falco is chased by Star Wolf after angering them. He tells [[Slippy]] to back off, and that he can handle it.
==== Voice Actors ====
*5. Leon and Slippy enter Cornerian air space. Slippy gazes at the water, which Leon thinks is breathtaking. Slippy then mistakes Leon as a frog, because they both have a long tongue. Leon tells him not to put them in the same group and to drop the subject.
*Rick May in ''Star Fox 64''.
*6. Leon, Panther, Falco, Krystal, and the stage itself enters the asteroid field, which worries Leon and Krystal. Panther, hearing this, begins to flirt with [[Krystal]]. Falco tells him to get crushed by the asteroids, leading to another one of Star Wolf and Falco's infamous arguments. Leon is only heard in the begining, saying "star wolf is here in the asteroid field".''
*David Scully in ''Star Fox: Assault''.
*Jim Walker in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
