Appearances Pre-Filmation minicomics ("savage Eternia") The first minicomics that accompanied the 1981–1983 line of Masters of the Universe toys presented the earliest version of continuity and displayed many differences from the more widely known continuity of the later cartoon made by Filmation, and the later minicomics which complemented it.

The New Adventures Of He-Man
''The New Adventures of He-Man'' is an animated series which ran in syndication in the fall of 1990 while Mattel released the toy line He-Man, an update of their Masters of the Universe line. The cartoon series was intended to be a continuation of Filmation's ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'' series, but Filmation's parent Westinghouse Broadcasting had shut down the studio a year earlier before being retconned by '' Masters of the Universe: Revelation'' in 2021. Instead, while existing in the same continuity, a new central story was created for this series. It's also the first ''He-Man'' series to feature a Canadian voice cast. This would mark the final entry in the original ''Masters of the Universe'' continuity until ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'', as the franchise as a whole would be rebooted twelve years later. Synopsis He-Man, legendary defender of the planet Eternia, has been summoned to the futuristic planet of Primus to defend the planet from t ...

He-Man and his friends attempt to defend the secrets of Castle Grayskull, the planet Eternia, and the rest of the universe from the evil forces of his archenemy Skeletor. The character was created by designer Roger Sweet, who intentionally created the character in such a way for him to be abstract and generic enough to be applied into any context and genre; Sweet also chose the name "He-Man" for being generic. Presenting three different versions of the figure to Mattel—including a soldier and a spaceman—the barbarian version of the character was chosen and developed into the character's current form. He-Man has achieved gay icon status and amassed an ...

She-Ra
She-Ra, real name Adora, is a fictional superheroine in the 1985 Filmation series '' She-Ra: Princess of Power'' and its 2018 reboot '' She-Ra and the Princesses of Power''. A series of toys under her name was produced by Mattel in 1984. Her first published appearance was in the 1984 minicomic "The Story of She-ra", which, like the subsequent He-Man and She-Ra animated feature film, introduced her as He-Man's twin sister, Princess Adora, kidnapped by Hordak in her infancy. That minicomic, which features He-Man, the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, and Castle Grayskull itself, also features one of the very first published appearances of both Hordak and Catra. The minicomic was shipped with the 1985 released original She-Ra action-figure/doll. In the 1985 series, She-Ra was intended to extend the appeal of the ''Masters of the Universe'' setting by being of interest to young girls in the same way that He-Man appealed to young boys.
