I remember that he could use the sword to "see" things (i.e. remote sensing).
Wikipedia has the article about both of them... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundercats On 6/7/07, Bira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Besides cutting things real well, it changed size (from "dagger" to "bastard sword" and back), had clarivoyance powers, and emitted the famous glowing signal - which did seem to be a sort of "buffing spell" as well. There was also an unbreakable, claw-shaped shield glove thing, which doubled as a scabbard for the sword when it was small. IIRC, the Thundercats were a regular bunch of superheroes - each had their own special super-human skill /plus/ a magical weapon of their own. They were the sort of people you would put in your escape pods when your planet is about to blow up, which is exactly what happened in the cartoon :).
