Simba

Universe and debut: The Lion King (1994)

Simba is the son of the great Mufasa, who grew up to succeed his father and rule the Pride Lands. As a young cub, Simba was eager to eventually replace his father as king, until Mufasa was suddenly murdered by Simba's treacherous uncle, Scar.

Convinced by Scar that he was responsible for his own father's death, Simba fled into a distant jungle, where he ignored his responsibilities as heir apparent in an attempt to forget about his troubled past, while Scar took over the kingdom in his absence. When confronted by his childhood best friend, Nala, several years later, Simba, advised by a wise mandrill and his father's spirit, finally realized that he must return home to overthrow his uncle, and take his rightful place as king.
