Leonard Apollo is the coach of the NASA Aliens team. He is a former professional NFL player, known for his dedication to train. When he is sacked out from the team in favor of Morgan, a black man with innate talents, he becomes a racist, not only against African-American, but Japanese as well. So he decides he would form the best possible team with only white players, and due to this attitude, he forbids Panther for playing. However, he changes his mind after all members of the Aliens do a dogeza to ask him to let Panther play.
