#Double dragon cartoon pilot series

The plot of the pilot episode was loosely adapted from the NES version of the first Double Dragon game, with the episode's villains consisting of the mysterious Shadow Boss (Jimmy's initial alter-ego), and his henchmen Abobo and Willy (who were based on enemy characters from the game). The futile search for their father, John Lee, was a subplot throughout the series. During the course of the series, the brothers recruited allies in their war against the Shadow Master and his henchmen. As a result, the Lee brothers oppose each other as adults but Jimmy is betrayed by the Shadow Master, and joins his brother as a Dragon Warrior. The premise of the show had the protagonist brothers separated at birth, with Billy raised by an elderly martial arts master known as the Oldest Dragon, and his brother Jimmy raised by the evil Shadow Master as his second-in-command, the Shadow Boss.

It was produced by DiC Animation in association with Bohbot Entertainment and Tradewest, Inc., and ran for 26 half-hour episodes from 1993 to 1994.
