He-Man | Heroes Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia That's not very lady-like. Then again, you're not much of a lady, are you? „ ~ He-Man He-Man is the chief protagonist of the Masters Of The Universe franchise and is a space-age warrior who defends his world and others from the forces of the warlord Skeletor, who also happens to be one of the universe's most powerful and feared dark magicians. He-Man is actually Prince Adam, son of King Randor of Eternia. His powers come from a blessed sword that when utilised by the hero grants him the legendary power of Greyskull by which he can defeat almost any threat (in the live-action film using this sword He-Man was powerful enough to battle Skeletor when the mad dictator had attained literal godlike status). He-Man, along with his pet tiger Battlecat and the other Masters Of The Universe, has become an icon of sorts and has spawned many cartoon series, TV shows and movies based around the subject - he is also the main character of the hugely successful toy line from which these adventures derived.

Contents [ show ] Filmation Series By the time the Filmation series was being developed, He-Man's origins had been revised as follows: his true identity is Prince Adam of Eternia, son of King Randor and Queen Marlena who live in the palace of Eternos along with Adam and the rest of their inner circle. Marlena was a lost astronaut from the planet Earth. The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull endows Prince Adam with the power to transform into He-Man, which Adam does by raising his Power Sword and proclaiming: "By the power of Grayskull!" Prince Adam's pet is a cowardly green tiger named Cringer. When Adam becomes He-Man, he similarly transforms Cringer into a brave armored green tiger named Battle Cat. Battle Cat serves as He-Man's steed and fierce fighting companion; like He-Man, he was created prior to his alter ego. Adam is friendly with the beautiful and strong-willed Teela, the adoptive daughter of his mentor Duncan. Adam and Teela grew up together and now, as Captain of the Guard, Teela is entrusted to protect the prince. She often sees Adam as lazy and cowardly because she is unaware of his alternate identity as He-Man.

Teela is revealed to be the only daughter of the Sorceress and the future inheritor of Grayskull; the Sorceress chose adoption for Teela after her father died, when she was just a baby. Duncan, also known as Man-At-Arms, is He-Man's closest companion and the Eternian royal family's innovator of technology and weapons. In many episodes, Man-At-Arms unveils new and fantastic weapons or devices that help He-Man and his friends. Castle Grayskull is the source of He-Man's powers. Inside the Castle lives the Sorceress, who grants Prince Adam his transformative abilities, and communicates telepathically with He-Man. The episode "Evil-Lyn's Plot" reveals that she also created He-Man's harness from a rare Eternian mineral called Coridite, which adds to his physical strength.

To protect his family, He-Man keeps his double identity secret, sharing the knowledge only with Man-At-Arms, Orko, Cringer/Battle Cat, and the Sorceress; with the advent of the She-Ra: Princess of Power series, this list is expanded to also include Adora/She-Ra, Spirit/Swift Wind, Light Hope, Loo-Kee, Madame Razz, and Kowl. The original cartoon series also includes the dragon Granamyr and the cosmic enforcer Zodac being in on He-Man's secret. The episode "The Rainbow Warrior" also strongly hints that Queen Marlena has worked out He-Man's secret but will not admit it. He-Man is usually accompanied by an assortment of allies in his battles, such as Ram-Man and Stratos. The spin-off cartoon series She-Ra: Princess of Power later revealed that Adam has a twin sister, the Princess Adora, a leader in the Great Rebellion against Hordak on the planet Etheria. Adora, like Adam, is given the gift of the power of Grayskull and has her own sword which she uses to transform into She-Ra, Princess of Power.

He-Man makes a number of appearances in She-Ra: Princess of Power . He-Man's chief adversary is Skeletor, a blue-skinned sorcerer with a skull for a head, wearing a cowl. He is skilled in black magic as well as all forms of combat. Though his origin is mysterious, and the cartoon describes him only as a "demon from another dimension," a tie-in comic implies that Skeletor's true identity is Prince Keldor, older brother of King Randor, thus making him He-Man's uncle. It is revealed in the animated motion picture He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword that Skeletor was Hordak's right-hand man up until his capture, and supposed release. Skeletor is accompanied by a group of henchmen who aid with his evil schemes. According to Lou Scheimer, executive producer of the Filmation animated series, the idea of He-Man having a teenage alter-ego was derived by from the Fawcett/DC Comics character Captain Marvel, about whom Filmation had already produced two TV series: Shazam! and The Kid Superpower Hour with Shazam!.

He-Man's twin sister She-Ra was created as a female spin-off, as Captain Marvel's twin sister Mary Marvel had been. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002) To tie-in with a new line of revamped figures based upon the original toyline, a new He-Man cartoon series was produced in 2002-03 by Mike Young Productions, again titled He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. This series retold the MOTU story from scratch. He-Man's origin was told in a 3-part episode that began the series, in which the 16-year-old Prince Adam is summoned to Castle Grayskull by the Sorceress to take upon the identity of He-Man and the role of Eternia's defender. The portrayal of his character in this series was mostly consistent with Filmation's portrayal, although the character of Prince Adam was shown to be much more brash and youthfully energetic than his 1980s counterpart, to convey the image of a teenage boy saddled with the overwhelming responsibility of defending the entire planet from evil.

The second season episode "The Power of Grayskull" also revealed He-Man to be a descendant of King Grayskull, an all-powerful barbarian hero from Eternia's ancient past, who sacrificed his life to save Eternia from the Evil Horde and was the original wielder of the Sword of Power. He was the original owner of Castle Grayskull, and his sword was concealed in the castle for centuries before being given to Prince Adam, who inherits his ancestor's own power which is channeled through the sword (thus giving an alternate meaning for the phrase "By the Power of Grayskull"). In the 1980s series, He-Man/Adam is voiced by John Erwin, for many the definitive He-Man, a congenial hero with an endless supply of one liners. In the 1987 live-action feature film, he is played by Dolph Lundgren. Gary Chalk provides the voice of He-Man for the 1989 series The New Adventures of He-Man, and later the voice of Man-At-Arms for the 2002 series.

He does not provide the voice of Prince Adam; Adam is instead voiced by Doug Parker, unlike the 1983 and 2002 series, where Adam and He-Man were voiced by the same actor. In the 2002 series, He-Man is voiced by Cam Clarke. Live Action Film In 1987, Cannon Films produced a live-action film Masters of the Universe which features Dolph Lundgren in the role of He-Man. Although the film was not received well upon its release, it has developed a strong cult following over recent years. Although generally portrayed in much the same manner as other media, there were several notable differences in the character of He-Man within the movie. His additional use of a gun in several scenes, rather than only his characteristic sword, caused controversy among some fans. Also, there was no mention of his secret identity of Prince Adam within the film, which some fans have interpreted as an implication that the makers envisioned him as having only one permanent identity, as in the early mini-comics. He is portrayed as a widely recognized hero, regarded as a great leader and Eternia's best hope of survival.

She-Ra | Heroes Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia [ show ] Physical Appearance She-Ra possesses long blonde hair that is one of her only major differences from Adora, a short white dress decorated with metal patterns as well as a crown in her hair and a red cape. She wears golden boots and long golden "tubes" on her arms (elbows to wrists). She has blue eyes and red lips and looks a lot like Adora since they are one. She carries a sword with a crystal in the middle in a scabbard (that seems to only appear when she needs it) on her back. She wears a crown assumably made with the same metal of the patterns on her dress. Personality She-Ra seems to exhibit fierce loyalty and she is a good planner. once a bird attacked her and she helped the harmed wing of the bird showing that she thought things through and she wasn't afraid to stand up and help it even though it was against her friends wishes. Powers and Abilities She-Ra displays a number of above average physical abilities and numerous supernatural abilities. She has super strength, enhanced speed, reflexes, and near-invulnerability.

She is also able to communicate with her steed Swiftwind by means of telepathy. In the episode The Unicorn King , she demonstrated the ability to heal injuries by touching the damaged wings of a unicorn. It is unclear how far this ability extends. The injury itself was the result of magic, so it may have been a case of simply removing the effects of the magic. She has the ability to transform her sword in to other weapons, including a shield, boomerang, bola, lasso, and a giant handcuff. It can also be transformed in to tools, including a ladder and a space helmet. While she displays various abilities, her primary means of attack and defense are her sword. Biography She-Ra: Princess of Power She-Ra is introduced in the animated movie The Secret of the Sword as Force Captain Adora, an agent of the Evil Horde that rules the planet Etheria . However, she then discovers that she is the long-lost twin sister of Prince Adam of Eternia , having been stolen by the Horde's leader, Hordak , as a baby.

In the same story, she is granted the Sword of Protection , which parallels He-Man's own sword ( Sword of Power ), and gains the power to transform into She-Ra. As Princess Adora, she then joins the rebellion that seeks to free Etheria from the Horde, though only a few other characters know that she is in fact also She-Ra. 2002 TV Series It was rumored that She-Ra was supposed to be reintroduced in the third season of the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe TV series; however, the series was canceled after the second season, and thus She-Ra never came to be in the latest incarnation. She did, however, receive an updated action figure to fit in with the new 2002 Masters of the Universe toyline. The 2004 She-Ra toy was an exclusive to the Wizard World Chicago and San Diego Comic Con 2004 comic-book and pop culture conventions. However it can currently be acquired through mattycollector.com.

Also, a series of toys under her name were produced by Mattel.[2] She is the alter ego of Princess Adora and the twin sister of Prince Adam/He-Man.[3] She-Ra was intended to appeal to young girls in the same way that He-Man appealed to young boys.[4][5] Filmation writer Larry DiTillio created the backstory for the property. He-Man | Wiki Grayskull | Fandom powered by Wikia Able to run at high speed, creating a vacuum (" The Once and Future Duke ") Able to rub his hands together fast enough to turn sand into glass (as seen in " Temple of the Sun ").

There are also dubious feats specific to plot, such as an inexplicable ability to fix a broken chain by merely connecting both ends (" Evil-Lyn's Plot "), to adjust the course of one of Eternia's moons by flying a Wind Raider to it and pushing it (" Jacob and the Widgets "), and shattering/deflecting a falling moon (on a collision course with Eternia) by throwing a rock from the ground at it (" Eternal Darkness "). Fictional character biography Early mini-comics In the illustrated minicomics released with the first series of toys and drawn by Alfredo Alcala , He-Man is a barbarian from an Eternian tribe. The planet's inhabitants are dealing with the aftermath of the Great Wars, which devastated the civilizations that once ruled supreme over all lesser beings. The Wars left behind advanced machinery and weaponry known only to select people. An early incarnation of the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull gives He-Man some of these weapons, and he sets out to defend the secrets of Castle Grayskull from the evil villain Skeletor . He-Man possesses one half of the Power Sword; the second half is possessed by Skeletor, who uses it as his main weapon.

When joined, the two halves of the Power Sword will provide the key to Castle Grayskull. This is why the two figures' swords could combine into one sword, when the action figures were initially released. In one early illustrated story, He-Man and Skeletor actually united their two Power Sword halves to form the true Power Sword in order to defeat a common enemy. Filmation era By the time the Filmation series was being developed, He-Man's origins had been revised as follows: his true identity is Prince Adam of Eternia, son of King Randor and Queen Marlena who live in the palace of Eternos along with Adam and the rest of their inner circle. The Queen, originally Captain Marlena Glenn, was a lost astronaut from the planet Earth. The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull endows Prince Adam with the power to transform into He-Man, which Adam does by holding aloft his Power Sword and proclaiming: "By the power of Grayskull..." Prince Adam's pet is a cowardly green tiger named Cringer . Whenever Adam becomes He-Man, he similarly transforms Cringer (in the latter's presence) into a brave armored green tiger named Battle Cat .

Battle Cat serves as He-Man's "steed" and fierce fighting companion; like He-Man, he was created prior to his alter ego. Adam is friendly with the beautiful and strong-willed Teela , the adoptive daughter of his mentor, Man-At-Arms General Duncan . Adam and Teela grew up together and now, as Captain of the Eternian Royal Guard, Teela is entrusted to protect the prince. She often sees Adam as lazy and cowardly because she is unaware of his alternate identity as He-Man. Teela is revealed to be the only daughter of the Sorceress and the future inheritor of Grayskull; the Sorceress chose adoption for Teela after her father died, when she was just a baby.

The original cartoon series also includes the dragon Granamyr and the cosmic enforcer Zodac being in on He-Man's secret. The episode " The Rainbow Warrior " also strongly hints that Queen Marlena has worked out He-Man's secret but will not admit it. He-Man is usually accompanied by an assortment of allies in his battles, such as Ram-Man and Stratos .

The spin-off cartoon series She-Ra: Princess of Power later revealed that Adam has a twin sister, the Princess Adora , a former force captain of the Horde turned leader in the Great Rebellion against Hordak on the planet Etheria . Adora, like Adam, is given the gift of the power of Grayskull and has her own sword which she uses to transform into She-Ra, Princess of Power.

Skeletor is accompanied by a group of henchmen who aid with his evil schemes. [1] According to Lou Scheimer, executive producer of the Filmation animated series, the idea of He-Man having a teenage alter-ego was derived by from the Fawcett/DC Comics character Captain Marvel, about whom Filmation had already produced two TV series: Shazam! and The Kid Superpower Hour with Shazam!. He-Man's twin sister She-Ra was created as a female spin-off, as Captain Marvel's twin sister Mary Marvel had been. [2] The New Adventures of He-Man He-Man as he appears in the "He-Man" minicomics After the demise of the MOTU toy line, Mattel attempted to reinvigorate interest in He-Man by producing a new toy line, simply titled He-Man . The accompanying storyline in the minicomics packaged with the figures explained that He-Man had now left Eternia and pursued Skeletor into the depths of space, where Skeletor had now set his sights on conquering the distant world of Primus , a planet with high technological resources.

He-Man was shown to have given up the identity of Prince Adam altogether to permanently become He-Man, basing himself on the world of Primus where he had allied with a team of defenders known as the Galactic Guardians and become their He-Man as he appears in the Jetlag series. leader. He-Man's appearance was re-designed for the new toy line, with a space helmet and golden armor added to his attire to give him a more futuristic appearance, and his sword was also completely redesigned. A cartoon series was produced by Jetlag Productions to accompany the toy line, titled The New Adventures of He-Man . Although generally in-keeping with the story line from the mini-comics, this series maintained the double identity of Prince Adam and He-Man. On the world of Primus, Prince Adam posed as a travelling merchant and the nephew of the character of Master Sebrian in order to disguise his secret identity. His transformation oath was also altered slightly to become "By the Power of Eternia".

Live-action film Snake Armor SnakeClaw tie-in with a new line of revamped figures based upon the original toyline, a new He-Man cartoon series was produced in 2002-03 by Mike Young Productions , again titled He-Man and the Masters of the Universe . This series retold the MOTU story from scratch. He-Man's origin was told in a 3-part episode that began the series, in which the 16-year-old Prince Adam is summoned to Castle Grayskull by the Sorceress to take upon the identity of He-Man and the role of Eternia's defender.

In the 1980s series, He-Man/Adam is voiced by John Erwin , for many the definitive He-Man, a congenial hero with an endless supply of one liners. In the 1987 live-action feature film , he is played by Dolph Lundgren . Gary Chalk provides the voice of He-Man for the 1989 series The New Adventures of He-Man , and later the voice of Man-At-Arms for the 2002 series.

He does not provide the voice of Prince Adam ; Adam is instead voiced by Doug Parker , unlike the 1983 and 2002 series, where Adam and He-Man were voiced by the same actor. In the 2002 series, He-Man is voiced by Cam Clarke . He-Man action figures Masters of the Universe (classic toyline) The first He-Man action figure was released by Mattel in 1981, and had a twist waist and power punch action. The figure came with the grey half of the Power Sword , a battle axe and a shield, together with a removable baldric. In 1982 the figure was also released in a set with either Battle Cat or the Wind Raider vehicle. The He-Man figure was released again in 1983 together with Teela and Ram-Man ; and the figure was also released in 1986 together with the Jet Sled vehicle. Starting with the third wave of figures in 1984, a different He-Man variant, and corresponding Skeletor variant, was released with each new wave. The first alternate version was entitled Battle Armor He-Man. The chest contained a springloaded rotating drum bearing three "damage indicators".

As before, the power sword and battle axe were included. The figure was also re-released the same year, in a two-pack with Battle Armor Skeletor, and the figure was also available packaged with the Road Ripper vehicle. In 1986, the figure was released again, together with Battle Armor Skeletor and Orko . Another alternate version was released in 1985, with the name Thunder Punch He-Man. The toy was powered with caps to make a bang when he threw a punch. The power sword, colored mustard gold with this version of the character, and a new design shield (which could carry the power sword) were released with the figure, together with some red caps. "Dragon Blast Skeletor", featuring a water spraying armor and chains was its counterpart. Battle Armor He-Man was re-released with Battle Cat, and again in a collector's pack with Man-at-Arms and Man-E-Faces . 1986 saw the release of another version, named Flying Fists He-Man. The figure's arms moved as his waist rotated. The figure included a spinning trident mace and a rotating shield.

A double-pack was later released containing both Flying Fists He-Man and Terror Claws Skeletor. In 1988, a final version was released for the original toy line, entitled Laser Power He-Man, which lit up He-Man's Power Sword powered by batteries inserted into the back of the figure. The figure was limited to releases in Italy and Spain, although it also appeared in some major department stores in London, England, and is one of the rarest and most highly sought after figures of the toy-line due to its limited release. This figure is also notable in that, whereas previous alternate versions had stuck to the basic original He-Man head, this new version had a completely new head sculpt, inspired in part by He-Man's appearance in the 1987 movie. It should also be noted that He-Man, along with all of the early figures (bar a few exceptions), was originally released with a hollow rubber 'squeezable' head. In the later days of the line, the He-Man figure, as with a number of the early figures, was altered to have a solid head. The soft head version is the far more common of the two, with the hard head version being relatively scarce.

Thunder Punch He-Man and Flying Fists He-Man were released with hard heads; Battle Armor He-Man, like the original version, was originally released with a soft head, but later also appeared with a hard head. Not all countries of production adopted the later hard head alteration. He-Man (toyline) The first He-Man figure for the 1989 toyline could move his arms to make a sword slash or block with his shield when his waist was turned. He included a Power Sword, shield, and removable armor and helmet. Under the armor, He-Man had a baldric reminiscent of his classic appearance, yet evoking the new toyline's futuristic feel. 1990 saw the release of Battle Punch He-Man, who was mostly similar in appearance to the unarmored looks of the previous version. He included a Power Sword and shield. In 1992, the last He-Man of the toyline re-used both the Thunder Punch He-Man moniker and the "twist for a punch" action. He had a wristband evoking the appearance of the "Thunder Punch" roleplaying accessory released the same year. The figure included a Power Sword, shield and removable baldric.

He-Man and the Religion of Eternia Increasingly, He-Man is being viewed by worshippers of the Goddess , Eternia 's most popular deity, as being ultimately empowered by her through the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull . The Sword of Power , as He-Man's main weapon, is also viewed as a symbol of the Goddess' power. Both as He-Man and as his alter ego Prince Adam , He-Man himself must view himself as specially endowed by the Goddess through the Sorceress Teela Na . Gallery She-Ra (Character) - Comic Vine The She-Ra wiki last edited by Superkitty on 03/05/16 10:28AM View full history Origin Captain in Hordak's army Princess Adora, along with her twin brother Prince Adam , was born to King Randor and Queen Marlena on the planet Eternia . The planet was attacked shortly afterwards by the forces of Hordak who sought revenge on the King and Queen for resisting the Hordes attempts at galactic control. Hordak sought to kidnap their children, but only managed to capture Adora as Man-At-Arms got to Adam first.

Hordak then escaped, with the Princess, through an inter-dimensional portal that lead to the planet Etheria . First time she meets Bow The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull used her magic to cleanse the memories of Eternians so that only certain members of the Royal Family knew of what happened to the Princess, and the rest of the world's population could be spared the grief surrounding her loss. On Etheria, Adora was raised by Chakra, who provided for the young men and women that would grow up to serve Hordak. As Adora grew older she gained more and more special attention within Hordak's forces, and even attained the rank of Force Captain. One day, Adora was confronted by He-Man who, unknown to her, had traveled to Etheria through a portal created by the Sorceress at Castle Grayskull on Eternia. He was stunned and captured by Adora, which allowed her magical sword to come into her possession. The Sorceress was then able to communicate to Adora through the sword and reveal everything to her about her true identity. Adora then transformed into She-Ra for the first time, and rescued her brother.

As the Princess of Power and defender of the Crystal Castle , She-Ra stands as the best defense against the Evil Horde on Etheria. And as Adora she leads "The Great Rebellion" against the mighty Horde on Etheria. With the words "For the honor of Grayskull...I am She-Ra!", Princess Adora transforms into the powerful Etherian rebel hero every time her help is needed. Carried on her friend and stead, Swift Wind , she became a powerful symbol of freedom for all on her adopted world. Creation Princess of Power In the 1970s a specific genre became popular, combining both fantasy and science fiction. Capitalizing on this trend were the makers of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Originally designed simply as a toy line, the characters became popular enough that they spread to various others forms of media (comics, animated television shows, movies.) The popularity was at such a level that it was decided to launch an entirely new set of characters, though tentatively designed for a female audience. This became the adventures of She-Ra and her colleagues. Although the characters did enjoy a degree of popularity, it was more as a result of the continued presence of the previous line.

Thus while He-Man (who was depicted as She-Ra's sister) continued to enjoy profitable sales, She-Ra struggled to find an audience outside of her own animates television series. In comparison therefore, He-Man had a relatively strong publication history while She-Ra's was more limited, which was reflected in her small number of comic book appearances. Character Evolution She-Ra with no Tiara The character never achieved the same popularity as her fictional brother and likely for good reason. The stories of She-Ra, when they were not directly incorporated into those of He-Man were a pastiche of both romance style adventures and the typical fantasy/science fiction elements. The character struggled to escape from this portrayal as it formed an aspect of her identity, but as she appeared in comics it was in a more serious role. Her strongest relationship as in the He-Man stories is with her group of followers, yet as opposed to the He-Man universe where the forces of good prevail, on She-Ra's home planet the forces of evil are the ones in power. She maintains flirting romantic relationships with Bow , an Etherian noble and with Sea Hawk, a sea pirate.

Major Story Arcs Although she enjoyed some ongoing stories in her animated television show, the character's appearances in comics was only for a story arc at a time or as a cameo. Thus her involvement in story arcs in the He-Man universe was limited, considering that these story arcs themselves contained little continuity. Powers Princess of Power As She-Ra she possesses incredible strength. Many times she has been shown to be able to lift not only full-grown men and robots, but also mountain-like rocks and buildings easily. While in the Filmation episode "Swifty's Baby" she kicks an Etherian moons out-of-orbit with ease. She also possesses super speed, agility and endurance. She is described as "the most powerful woman in the universe" by both Etherians and the Horde. Her magic sword can shoot energy blasts and transform into virtually any weapon or object potentially allowing any opponent or problem to be overcome. Showing super strength She is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and strategy having been trained by the Horde since childhood and also has a far keener sense of hearing than normal, the ability to heal others through touch, and a form of telepathy that enables her to communicate with animals and the Sorceress on Castle Grayskull on Eternia.

In addition, She-Ra may fly when sat atop of her horse, Swift Wind or through transformation of her sword into a flying object. When flying She-Ra is capable of traveling back in time. In using her powers She-Ra will use her intelligence as well as her raw power to overcome opponents or problems. The exact limits on She-Ra's powers are currently unknown. Princess Adora is granted all of these magical powers from Castle Grayskull whenever she uses her mystical Sword of Protection to transform into She-Ra, akin to He-Man's Sword of Power. Other Media She-Ra & He-Man As compared to comics, She-Ra was a much more popular character in other forms of media, specifically in her animated television series and her toy line.. Following the success of the He-Man animated series, between 1985 and 1986 Filmation created a spinoff series following the adventures of He-Man's long-lost twin sister and her transformation into She-Ra. The series ran for two seasons, although the second was cancelled before its run was over. Latest Images Thanks, we're checking your submission. Whoah, whoah... slow down there. Thanks!

She is featured in the animated series of the same name , an attempt to make a version of the Masters of the Universe cartoon series that would appeal to young girls. Contents [ show ] Physical appearance One of the only major differences between She-Ra and Adora is that the former possesses waist-length blonde hair, which she holds back with a winged, crown-like headdress. She wears a short white dress decorated with metal patterns, as well as a red cape, golden boots, and long golden bracers that extend from her elbows to her wrists. Otherwise, her features are the same as Adora's, with blue eyes and red lips. She carries a sword with a crystal in the middle in a scabbard (that seems to only appear when she needs it) on her back. Personality Despite being very beautiful, She-Ra, like He-Man, is a strong-willed, forceful individual who believes firmly in doing the right thing, and encouraging others to do so. The differences between them are subtle, and can likely be traced back to Adora's time as a Force Captain for the Horde. She-Ra is a good deal more strategic than He-Man.

In the episode " Huntara ," the titular character tried to ensnare She-Ra in a series of traps, which she out-thought or out-maneuvered before ultimately disarming Huntara in a direct confrontation. Like He-Man, She-Ra seems to exhibit fierce loyalty. Once a bird attacked her and she helped its harmed wing, demonstrating compassion and forethought, even against her friends' wishes. Powers and abilities She-Ra displays a number of above average physical abilities and numerous supernatural abilities. She has super-human strength, enhanced speed, reflexes, and near-invulnerability. She has communicated with animals via telepathy, such as Swift Wind , and a bear in the Whispering Woods . In the episode " The Unicorn King ," she demonstrated the ability to heal injuries by touching the damaged wings of a unicorn. In The Secret of the Sword , she also healed Swift Wind when he was injured by a Horde shot. She has the ability to transform her chief weapon, " The Sword of Protection ," into other weapons, including a shield, boomerang, bola, lasso, and a giant handcuff. It can also be transformed into tools, including a ladder and a space helmet.

He-Man cannot do any of this with " The Sword Of Power ," his own chief weapon. While She-Ra displays various abilities, her sword is her primary means of attack and defense.
