He-Man who?
New to He-Man or a god-like expert of the universe about him?!
Read on for a quicky overview:
He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, is a heroic fictional character in the Masters of the Universe franchise. In most variations of the franchise, he is the alter ego of Prince Adam and also the twin brother of She-Ra (She-Ra is pictured below, with her 'Sword of Protection').
He-Man and his friends defend Eternia and the secrets of Castle Grayskull from the evil forces of Skeletor.
If you're a kid of the eighties, you'll probably have fond memories of sitting eating your bangers and mash, watching He-Man and Castle Grayskull and the nasty Skeletor, most likely alongside Grange Hill (remember Tucker and Roly?!) and loads of Blue Peter.
He-Man made a hit on the UK screens with 1980's kids as a very successful cartoon on the Beeb (1983 - 1985), although as you can see from the 1982 comic of He-Man above, this came before the animated series.
