History[]
Henry Moon is a character from the 2000 AD strip Mean Team, and the protagonist of its sequel strip Survivor. He was once a handsome, blonde-haired human psychic who was a valued member of the Mean Team, Bad Jack Keller's Death Bowl team, having effectively sold himself into indentured servitude to pay off his debts. His human body was blown to pieces by a booby-trapped enemy flag he was trying to capture. Henry should have died but woke up, furious to discover that his brain had been transplanted into the body of the panther which the team used as a mascot, now equipped with a throat-mounted voice synthesizer to allow him to communicate. (Nobody seems to have been concerned about the fact that this process involved effectively murdering an innocent panther.) Moon reluctantly remained with the Mean Team until the entire team were killed in an explosion while on the abandoned planet Earth. Henry, the sole survivor, was captured by galactic security agents on behalf of his 'owner', Marcellus Von, who wanted him to be his pet panther. Henry wasn't keen on the idea, and ran away to make a new life for himself.
