 {{Quote|Annoying bird! I am the great Leon!|Leon Powalski, ''Star Fox 64''}}
-'''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 Powalski''' is one of the original [[Star Wolf]] members and the rival of [[Falco Lombardi]]. He first appears in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.
-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.
+== Appearance and personality ==
+Leon's appearance is based on that of a [[Wikipedia:Chameleon|Chameleon]]. He was originally a classy, competent pilot with a calm and sinister voice tone. Later, in ''Star Fox: Assault'', Leon became a crazed, ruthless assassin who often lets out a deranged laugh after defeating a foe. In ''Star Fox: Assault'', Leon is also shown to be wearing a blue jump-suit.
-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.
+It is also revealed in ''Star Fox: Assault'' that Leon also specializes in killing, hence his title as an "assassin" in the instruction booklet and a "killer" in official artwork. Leon is also shown to have sympathy for other reptilian or amphibious creatures (like Slippy).
-== Appearance and personality ==
-Leon's appearance is based on that of a [[Wikipedia:Chameleon|Chameleon]]. In ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', he is featured wearing a blue jump-suit.
-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]].
+Despite his ruthless swagger and love of the hunt, Leon loves to adorn his maniacal disposition to maintain his spot as Star Wolf's assassin. This shows that he is somewhat of a narcissist, and enjoys his feared reputation as the killer, as indicated from his quotes.
-In ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', his demeanor and personality had drastically changed, he was portrayed as a dangerous psychopath and assassin, rather than the calm sadist he was in ''[[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.

The [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] team first encountered him and the Star Wolf team on [[Fichina]]. Here he tried to prevent the team from stopping a bomb from going off in a Cornerian base. In every battle against Star Wolf, Leon would focus on fighting [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]]. Leon would eventually be shot down by [[Fox McCloud|Fox]], who then proceeded to take out the bomb. After being shot down, Leon became incensed from his defeat.
-If Fox failed to shoot down Leon, he retreats to defend the 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.
+If Fox failed to shoot down Leon at Fichina, he retreats to defend the the [[Bolse Defense Outpost]]. If Star Fox goes to [[Venom]] from [[Area 6]], they must fight Leon and the Star Wolf team in their new [[Wolfen II]] vehicles. Leon is shown with a robotic eye in the battle, due to his injuries from the previous fight.
 === ''Star Fox: Assault'' ===
-In the nine years following up to ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', 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.
+In the nine years following up to ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', Star Wolf left the Venomian Army's employment, lost two members, and hired a new member, [[Panther Caroso]]. Aside from Wolf, Leon is the only original Star Wolf member to remain on the team. Leon assisted Wolf in building an empire in the [[Sargasso Space Zone]]. When Star Fox infiltrated the base, they must fight Leon and the Star Wolf team again, whom they successfully defeat.
 After Fox was ambushed by the [[Aparoid]]s, 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.
+Leon and Falco's rivalry is more noticeable in the game, as both of them make snide remarks about each other, even when cooperatively battling the Aparoids.

 === ''Star Fox Command'' ===
-In ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', Leon and Star Wolf gained a huge bounty on their heads due to continuing criminal activity.

+In ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', Leon remains a loyal member to Star Wolf. Due to their criminal activity, Leon and Star Wolf are wanted all across the [[Lylat System]] for a bounty. Leon has the lowest bounty of $10,000. Leon also pilots his own ship, the [[Rainbow Delta]].
