He-Man and the Masters of the Universe/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Heroic Warriors

He-Man/Adam of the House of Randor

Played by: John Erwin (80's); Dolph Lundgren (Live-Action Movie); Gary Chalk (He-Man only, New Adventures); Doug Parker (Adam only, New Adventures); Cam Clarke ('02)
"I have the power!"

Adam, prince of Eternia and descendant of the legendary King Grayskull, transforms into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, to protect Eternia from the forces of evil.

  • A Lady on Each Arm: In the DC Comics story "Fate is the Killer!" Prince Adam arrives this way to a party, to whick Man-At-Arms comments "Only two wenches, lad? You're losing your charm!"
  • Adaptational Heroism: An odd example. The original He-Man comics paint He-Man as a mostly neutral figure who wanted to be left alone. As the comics went on, He-Man grew gradually more heroic. Once the cartoon aired, He-Man became the true blue hero he's known or today, which directly influenced the darker comics, making He-Man much kinder and heroic there as well.
  • Adaptational Attractiveness: Zigzagged. Most portrayals of Adam past the 80s cartoon downplay his handsomeness by a lot. While he was still pretty good looking in the 2002 reboot, he's noticeably scrawnier and smaller in the New 52 DC stories. In the Injustice event, Prince Adam is once again portrayed as being an incredibly well-built and handsome man.
  • Arm Cannon: A wrist-mounted laser as Adam.
  • By the Power of Grayskull: Trope Namer. In The New Adventures of He-Man, he would actually say "By the Power of Eternia", though.
  • Camp Straight: As Prince Adam in the 80's cartoon, though most of these characteristics Adam (supposedly) exhibited on purpose to help hide his true identity as He-Man.
  • Clark Kenting: In the '80s version of the franchise. Lampshaded in To Tempt the Gods.

Save for my garb, what is there to prevent their recognizing me as the heir to the throne?"

  • Cool Sword
  • Deadpan Snarker: In the cartoons, both as Adam and as He-Man, though the nature of the snark varies depending of the show; in the '80s cartoon it's more good-natured, while in the 2002 cartoon it's notably edgier.
  • Faux Affably Evil: In the Eternity War storyline, He-Man witnessed a future where he never stopped being He-Man. Although he was cheerful and jovial, he was also overwhelmingly self-indulgent and a harsh ruler who punished dissent with death.
  • Guile Hero: Despite being incredibly strong and powerful, He-Man's biggest asset is his intelligence. He tends to try to think of more diplomatic, peaceful and intelligent solutions to problems, only coming to violence if it's needed. Some modern adaptations either downplay this or rework his intelligence to make him more of a great general and leader.
  • Half-Human Hybrid
  • Henshin Hero: One Western example before it was made trendy in The Nineties.
  • The Hero
  • Heroes Want Redheads: Teela, though how red her hair was depended on the series.
  • Important Haircut: In The New Adventures of He-Man, but in reverse: He-Man's hair inexplicably (but quite explicitly) gets ponytail-length longer during a moment of awesome mystical display.
  • Invincible Hero
  • Large Ham: I HAVE THE POWER!!!
  • Loin Cloth
  • Real Men Wear Pink: In the 80's cartoon.
  • Samaritan Syndrome
  • Secret Keeper: He knows Teela's mother is the Sorceress.
  • Separated at Birth: His twin sister Adora was kidnapped by Hordak when they were babies.
  • Sixth Ranger: From the point of view of the other Masters of the Universe. An interesting take on the trope as He-Man is the protagonist of the series but, unlike the other Masters who are more like a military unit and thus on call and can be deployed at any time, He-Man only shows up when things are bleak and spends most of his time as Prince Adam. While Adam does spend time training, he's only He-Man when the Masters need heavy backup.
  • Strong as They Need to Be
  • Transformation Trinket: The Sword of Power
  • X Meets Y: Conan the Barbarian meets Captain Marvel

Battle Cat/Cringer

Prince Adam's pet tiger, who transforms into Battle Cat, He-Man's fighting tiger.

Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's); Brian Dobson ('02)

King of the Andreenids, a race of bee people.

Clamp Champ

King Randor and Queen Marlena's bodyguard, armed with a clamp weapon.

  • Out of Focus: Due to being one of the latest Heroic Warriors to appear before the toyline's cancellation (his wave-mates in the toyline, King Randor and the Sorceress, had more luck since they began as Toyless Toyline Characters, therefore having more time to shine even before being released as figures). At least he managed to get enough screentime in the latest comics to avert becoming an Advertised Extra like the second wave of Galactic Guardians.
  • Super Reflexes
  • Super Senses: He cannot be taken by surprise.

Extendar/Doodon

"I am Extendar, tower of power!"

A palace guard changed by Hordak into a cyborg with extendable arms, legs, neck and torso. Despite his powers being a Horde creation, he uses them for good.

  • Cyborg
  • I Just Want to Be Badass: Before getting his powers. Hordak promised him power if he accepted to become a cyborg, without telling him he intended to use him for evil purposes.
  • Telescoping Cyborg: He can extend his neck, torso, arms and legs.

Fearless Photog/Jey

Gwildor's apprentice, who due to a miscalculation got accidentaly fused with his invention, the Photog Emulator, getting the power of draining his enemies' energy.

Fisto/Malcom

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Mark Acheson ('02)

Man-At-Arms' brother, who has a metallic right hand. Generally considered the second strongest Heroic Warrior, after He-Man himself.

Gwildor

Played by: Billy Barty (Live-Action Movie)

Thenurian locksmith and inventor.

  • Expy: His sole reason for existing is because they couldn't do a live-action Orko.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Created the "cosmic key," allowing a person to travel between dimensions.
  • Hobbits: He sure looks like one anyway.
  • Little People

King Randor of the House of Miro

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Michael Donovan ('02)
"To have one such as He-Man as my heir rather than Adam... now that would be a legacy any sovereign would be proud to leave his people."

Heroic ruler of Eternia. Younger son of King Miro, and Prince Adam's father.

Man-At-Arms/Duncan

Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's); Jon Cypher (Live-Action Movie); Gary Chalk ('02)

King Randor's right-hand man, inventor and friend, and one of his most valuable warriors. Also, Prince Adam's mentor, friend and confidant.

Man-E-Faces/Perkaedo

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Paul Dobson ('02)

An actor who can change his face to become a human, robot or monster.

  • Characterization Marches On: He began as a good guy who was transformed by Skeletor into an monster, and sometimes the struggle between human and monster caused the neutral robot personality to arise. Later characterisations show all the faces as the same heroic personality.
  • Morph Weapon: Man-E-Faces has a weapon with three modes, much like himself. Staff, gun, and club — respectively well-suited to his human, robot, and monster faces.
  • The Power of Acting
  • Robo Speak: His robotic face
  • Split Personality: in the original minicomics and the DC comics.

Mekaneck

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Gabe Khouth ('02)

Moss Man/Kreann'Ot N'Norosh

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); John Payne ('02)

A plant-based hero who can manipulate plant matter.

Orko

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Gabe Khouth ('02)

A magician from the dimension of Trolla, who was stuck at Eternia by accident and became King Randor's jester.

Queen Marlena Glenn

Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Erika Scheimer (She-Ra); Nicole Oliver ('02)

An astronaut from Earth who got stranded in Eternia and married King Randor, giving birth to Prince Adam and his sister Adora.

  • Happily Married
  • Hidden Depths: In the 80s cartoon, she ends up leading a squadron of ships to rescue her husband and son from the clutches of Skeletor revealing her to be an extremely competent aerial fighter pilot on top of her astronaut skills despite having not been in the game for 20 years.
  • The High Queen
  • Hot Mom
  • Secret Secret Keeper: Several episodes hint at her knowing that Prince Adam is He-Man but the most blatent hint comes at the end of the episode where she reveals her fighter pilot skills: she deliberately rescues Adam first which allows him to transform into He-Man and rescue everyone else. When Adam later asks her why on earth she rescued him first, all she says is that she "had a feeling he'd know what to do". She doesn't come right out and admit she knows Adam is He-Man, but she does say "a mother always recognises her own son".
  • Shout-Out: Her name could be a reference to pilot/astronaut John Glenn.
  • Toyless Toyline Character: This has changed after the 2011 SDCC

Ram-Man

Rokkon

Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

A young member of the Rock People.

  • Dude in Distress: There are several versions of how the Stone people arrive to Eternia (or Etheria), and in most of them Rokkon is captured or incapacitated so Stonedar and He-Man (or She-Ra) have to rescue him.

Rotar

A guard of the royal palace until one of Skeletor's attacks left him injured. Man-At-Arms saved him by using a machine that changed him into a spinning cyborg.

Snout Spout/Jaxton

Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

An Etherian peasant who was captured by Hordak and turned into a cyborg with an elephant-like head that allows him to shoot water out of the trunk. He escaped to Eternia and joined the Heroic Warriors.

  • An Axe to Grind: He is a firefighter, it comes with the job.
  • Can't Stay Normal
  • Cyborg: His elephant head is cybernetic.
  • Odd Couple: With Rio Blast in the Star comics. He's the neat and by-the-book one.
  • Unwilling Roboticisation: Hordak kidnapped him to make him into a cyborg, rather than trick him like he did with Extendar.
  • What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Snout Spout can... fire water out of his trunk. However, he subverts the trope by using his powers (in creative yet not-so-awesome ways) to shoot ice, vapor or just water when the situation requires it.


The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull/Teela'Na

Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Christina Pickles (Live-Action Movie); Venus Terzo (New Adventures); Nicole Oliver ('02)

  • Blessed with Suck: Think about it. Blessed with the ability to discern almost all the things happening on Eternia, having extremely powerful magic at her command...and yet, she was unable to leave the Castle without being reduced to flying around as a bird with very low-level telepathy. One imagines the limitations got quite frustrating. The very few times she was able to overcome these limitations were explicitly stated to be special circumstances.
  • Canon Immigrant: At least her bird-like looks.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"
  • Her Heart Will Go On
  • Hot Mom
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: The Sorceress is Teela's mother, a fact known only by herself, Man-At-Arms and Adam/He-Man.
  • She's Got Legs
  • Team Mom
  • Truly Single Parent: Unless you count Skeletor, who used the power of Point Dread to clone the Sorceress to create Teela.

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Scott McNeil ('02)

A member of the Karikoni, an Eternian race of crustacean warriors from Orkas Island.

  • A Wizard Did It: His MOTU Classics bio reveals his change from the Dumb Muscle of the 2002 series to the keen warrior of the 80's series as the result of a spell cast by Evil-Lyn.
  • Dumb Muscle: 2002 series only.
  • Expy: The 2002 series' "The Island" introduced Clawful's cousin, who was intelligent and had ambition. He's basically Clawful of the '80s series.
  • Giant Enemy Crab
  • Right Hand of Doom: His right claw is much larger than his left -- much much larger in the 2002 series. This is based on real fiddler crabs.
  • The Starscream: '80s series only.
  • Too Dumb to Live: The 2002 series. Seriously, he doesn't even recognize the language of his own species.

Draego-Man

A recent addition to the Evil Warriors created for the MOTU Classics toyline.

Evil-Lyn/Evelyn Morgan Powers

Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Meg Foster (Live-Action Movie); Kathleen Barr ('02)

An evil sorceress who works for Skeletor, but expects to overthrow him some day.

Faker

Played by: John Erwin (80's)

A robot duplicate of He-Man, created to trick the Eternians.

  • Depending on the Writer:
    • His appearance: he's either always blue and thus a failed attempt as a He-Man duplicate, or he's blue but can change color to disguise as He-Man, or even is always identical to He-Man (despite the toy's blue appearance).
    • His strength: he might have strength equal to He-Man's, or just average strength with his similarity to He-Man limited to appearance.
  • Evil Knockoff
  • Face Heel Turn: It was implied by the '02 series writers and confirmed by his Classics bio that he is the same robot Man-At-Arms used as a decoy He-Man. It's still an arguable example since he wasn't sentient when he worked for Man-At-Arms.
  • Mythology Gag: In his appearance in "The Courage of Adam," he looks exactly like He-Man. When he's knocked out, however, he briefly turns blue before de-activating.

Gygor

A former warlord of the Vine Jungle, who was in suspended animation until Evil-Lyn freed him to bolster Skeletor's forces.

Jitsu

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's)

An Evil Warrior who has a metallic right hand

Saurod

Played by: Pons Maar (Live-Action movie)

A reptilian warrior who is killed by Skeletor for his failure in getting the Cosmic Key.

Scareglow/Karak Nul

"In my glow, even brave men tremble!"

A skeletal warrior whose body can glow and cause everybody who stares at it to see his/her greatest fears.

  • Multiple Choice Past: He came too late to the toyline to get enough spotlight, yet he got so popular (specially due to looking similar to Skeletor)that every writer tried to give his own interpretation: a being summoned from the reaches of space and time, a copy created by Skeletor in his own image or the king of another dimension. The current version is that he's the ghost of a bounty hunter, summoned by Skeletor like in the first version.
  • Power Glows
  • Skull for a Head

Screeech

Skeletor's savage bird.

Spikor

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's)

A warrior covered in spikes that give him the advantage in close combat. He has an extendable left arm with a trident as a hand.

  • The Blacksmith: Shown as such in a single minicomic, though then he created the Terror Claws, which would become Skeletor's new weapons for the rest of the toyline run.
  • Spikes of Villainy: He has them around his whole body.

Stinkor/Odiphus

Played by: Brian Drummond ('02)

A petty Paleezean thief who got the power to emit an awful odor.

  • Ascended Fanboy: Odiphus is shown to desperately want to be fighting for the bad guys, which he ultimately does as Stinkor.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Odiphus appears as a prisoner in "Snake Pit" before his appearance in "The Sweet Smell of Victory".
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: Stinkor is a skunk-man who had the power of smelling so horribly he had to use a respirator to keep himself from being knocked out. You would think this is a useless or stupid ability, but the 2002 reboot shows just how deadly this can be.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Stinkor's stench is just as horrible to himself as it is others, which is why he always wears a breathing apparatus and mask.
  • Meaningful Rename: He insists on not being called Odiphus anymore. He's Stinkor.
  • Third Person Person
  • Took a Level in Badass: Odiphus was a villain wannabe and - like the rest of his species - quite small in stature. The chemical accident in Tri-Klops' lab gave him his power, as well as made him taller and physically stronger.

Trap Jaw/Kronis

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Paul Dobson ('02)

An Evil Warrior who tried to turn by Skeletor, who left him severely injured. Tri-Klops remade him as a Cyborg with a mechanical jaw and a robotic right arm with interchangeable weapons.

Tri-Klops/Trydor Esooniux Scope

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Paul Dobson ('02)

A warrior with three eyes that give him different vision powers.

A pair of bounty hunters who were merged by Skeletor due to their failure.

  • Brains and Brawn
  • Dumb Muscle: Baddrah
  • Multiple Head Case
  • What Could Have Been: The original idea to Two-Bad was making one of the heads be a good guy and the other a bad guy. This was skipped and both were bad.
    • In the 2002 series, they were going to be part of the Evil Warriors from the beginning, until their origin story was considered for a later episode.

Webstor/Araneus, Son of Raknus

Played by: John Erwin (80's); Brian Dobson ('02)

One of the few remaining Arachna, a race of spider people.

Whiplash/Torrant Krazut

Played by: John Erwin (80's); Gary Chalk ('02)

Member of the reptilian species known as Caligars, who betrayed his people to join the Evil Warriors.

The Evil Horde

Hordak/Hec-Tor Kur

Played by: George DiCenzo (She-Ra); Colin Murdock ('02)
"For some of us it's too late. I'm too old, too set in my ways."

Skeletor's former teacher in the arts of dark magic, who was banished to Etheria, in the Dimension of Despondos, where he rules with an iron fist in the name of the Evil Horde supreme leader, Horde Prime.

Dragstor/Theydon

A motorized cyborg with a built-in wheel on his chest, that allows him to move at super-speed.

  • Brainwashed: Unclear if it's the case in the minicomics, but it clearly is in the UK comics.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Extendar. Their powers are different, but they share the same origin.

Mantenna

Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

A Horde member with pop-out eyes that allow him to spy his enemies at long distances or shoot a stun ray.

  • Butt Monkey: If Hordak is angry at a defeat, or merely bored, he uses Mantenna as an scapegoat and sends him through a trapdoor.
  • The Dog Bites Back: He has turned the tables on Hordak a few times.
  • Eye Beams: He can shoot a stun beam from his eyes.

Mantisaur

Hordak's mount, a huge mantis.

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's)

A beast capable to rearrange his body parts to take several different shapes.

  • Adaptation Expansion: In his first minicomic appearance, he stated he was a former slave of Skeletor, and he joined the Horde to destroy Skeletor. The cartoon showed his origin and his tenure as one of Skeletor's Evil Warriors before joining the Horde in the She-Ra series.
  • Detachment Combat: Mostly uses it to divide himself into two bodies.
  • Mad Scientist: He was shown as such in the animated series, and the comics followed by showing him as the creator of Multi-Bot.

Multi-Bot

Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

A robot created by Modulok, with the same powers.

Kobra Khan/Khan of the Clan Kobra

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Scott McNeil ('02)

A descendant of the Snake Men who served Skeletor until King Hiss was freed.

  • All of the Other Reindeer: The other Snake Men, with the exception of King Hiss, think of him as just an inferior descendant of the true Snake Men.
  • Characterization Marches On: Khan predates Mattel's creation of the Snake Men, so he was originally just a snake-themed Evil Warrior working for Skeletor during the 80s. Upon the Snake Men's introduction to the toyline, Khan was retconned into being tied to them.
  • Hollywood Acid: He can spit this or spray poison/sleeping gas.
  • The Mole: Toward Skeletor.
  • Rubber Man: One episode of the 80s series showed him having stretchable arms similar to Sssqueeze.

Played by: Richard Newman ('02)

Former ruler of Zalesia, and Evil-Lyn's father.

  • Fog Feet: The Faceless One is always portrayed, both in animation and comic books, as a ghostly figure with mystic smoke around his legs. When he finally received an action figure that had no representation of the smoke, many fans were displeased.
  • Papa Wolf: Even though he cannot physically leave the ruins of Zalesia, he does anything in his power to ensure his daughter's safety.

Granamyr

The oldest and wisest of the dragons.

He-Ro/Ro

Tytus

A giant aligned with the forces of good in Preternia times

Vikor, He-Man of the North

Zodac Zur

Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's)

Zodak/Kar-Tor

Flogg

Played by: Alvin Sanders (New Adventures)
Flogg: When you return, I will be King of Primus!
Skeletor (to himself): No, Flogg, when I return, you will be mine. Primus will be mine. The whole Tri-Solar Galaxy will be mine! And He-Man will not be.

Leader of the Evil Mutants from planet Denebria.

  • Big Bad Wannabe: To be fair, he and his mutant army were a threat big enough to have the Galactic Guardians asking for He-Man's help, but after Skeletor arrived, Flogg became his pawn without realising it.
  • Foil: He and Skeletor are this to each other; Skeletor is smart, Flogg is sane.
  • General Failure: Flogg isn't a particularly intelligent mutant and his strategies often leave something to desire, but he manages to subvert this occasionally — he's not smart, but he's a savvy and intimidating military commander who can draw up a battle plan that'll leave 'em reeling sometimes.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: He won't risk his ship or his troops unless there's a clear goal. Besides, he could incur the wrath of the Galactic Council by directly attacking the Primans, so he doesn't do it when it's for petty reasons.
  • Whip It Good

Butthead

A mutant who uses his hard head to attack (kind of an evil Ram Man).

Crita

Played by: Venus Terzo (New Adventures)

  1. ↑ The writers commented that they intended to make up for the Filmation version of the character never getting to do much due to his late appearance in the series, but feel they may have overpowered him. So he ended up turning up only rarely
