Intended to be a successful toy line by Mattel, few could have guessed the raging popularity of He-Man in the times to come! Ever since the launch of the toy line and the subsequent 1983 TV show, He-Man became a very successful franchise. The characters became part of pop culture. Three more animated series, a feature film, and several comic books later, they still hold the same relevance today. The characters portrayed in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe are diverse, each having a special skill set. In this video, we will take you through some of the most powerful and dangerous characters of the franchise and elaborate on their backstories.

Skeletor's image on the right side of the thumbnail is by the one and only Dave Rapoza, and the middle image of Evil-Lyn is by super talented PAUL.A.GERRARD. Definitely check them out in the Deviantart!
