Masters of the Universe Revelation Reveals Who’ll Kick Skeletor’s Butt

Although Kevin Smith’s sequel to the beloved ‘80s cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has been divisive among fans, I’m assured that they’ll be tuning to observe the remainder of the collection because of its jaw-dropping cliffhanger. These He-Man followers received’t have lengthy to attend to search out out what occurs subsequent, as Revelation returns to Netflix on November 23—though we already know the stunning hero who’ll be dealing with off in opposition to Skeletor when the present concludes.

If you watched Masters of the Universe: Revelation—which has managed to be a powerful love letter to the unique cartoon whereas nonetheless being keen to make some completely unbelievable story selections—you’ll do not forget that the primary half of its 10-episode collection ended with the newly resurrected Skeletor murdering the newly resurrected Prince Adam, and grabbing He-Man’s sword of energy for himself. It reworked the villain right into a being Mattel’s motion figures have dubbed “Skelegod,” in order that’s the extent of risk the planet of Eternia faces.

MotU toymaker Mattel has additionally particularly introduced which hero might be battling Skelegod, and revealed his motion determine. It’s really a giant spoiler, and I don’t know why it was introduced, so…

Introducing (effectively, reintroducing) Savage He-Man:

His origin in Revelation (courtesy of a Mattel press launch) is as wild as the remainder of the collection, and I find it irresistible:

“For years it was assumed that Prince Adam could only call upon the Power of Grayskull using the Sword of Power, but Adam himself always wondered what would happen if he called upon the power without the sword. We now know the answer: Savage He-Man.

“With the full Power of Grayskull unleashed inside him, Adam gains a combination of primal rage and all of the power in the universe—the raw fury, the brutal strength, and the unbridled speed of 10 He-Men! But without the Sword of Power to temper these mighty forces, Savage He-Man is all strength with no intellect to control it. The barbarian version of our hero leaves his friends wondering if Adam is truly present within the transformed beast, as he tears through Eternia in an uncontrolled frenzy. Luckily, Adam at his core possesses innate compassion, humility, goodness that rivals the Power of Grayskull itself. Only the Prince of Eternia could wield such Power and be both willing and able to relinquish it once the battle is won.”

Savage He-Man additionally makes an look on this new and really rad promo poster for Revelation Part 2:

I do not know how Prince Adam will get resurrected a second time, however I’m immensely wanting ahead to seeing him simply chockful of He-ness. The concept that his iconic sword wasn’t only a conduit for the powers of Grayskull however a kind of security valve is strictly the kind of splendidly loopy concept Smith and his crew have repeatedly dropped at Revelation, and which has made it so entertaining.

Savage He-Man was by no means within the unique cartoon, however he’s a literally legendary action figure. He was thought to have been offered within the ‘80s as a Wonder Bread promotion (it was actually a trading card tie-in). The figure differed from the regular He-Man figure by having brown hair and a black belt and boots, but fans still don’t agree what equipment he got here with, if any. Obviously, Mattel’s Masterverse determine has nothing in widespread with the unique aside from the title, however he does embody a really, very unhappy Orko determine, which greater than compensates for the adjustments.

The Savage He-Man determine received’t be obtainable till subsequent 12 months, which implies you’ll have loads of time to ponder the acquisition after you watch him kick Skeletor’s Happy Meal ass up and down Main Street (metaphorically talking) in Masters of the Universe: Revelation Part 2.
