>>91147351

It's complicated. Skeletor while in Hordak's service he tried to overthrow him, by using dark magic, which transformed him to a skull ram demon. But he failed and Hordak slay him, and took used his skull to create the Havoc Staff. When he offered the Staff to a younger Skeletor, the contact with the Staff, revealed at Skeletor, what eventually will happen to him, and he used the Staff to defeat temporarily Hordak and escaped with the Staff.

This is the Havoc Staff's origin from the Eternity War. Though there is another origin from the modern mini comics, a bit less complex.

In the mini comics the origin of the Havoc Staff is closer to the 2002 cartoon. The Staff was one of the powerful objects, able to channel the Star Seed's power, source of every magical power on Eternia. Hordak adviced his yound apprentice, Prince Keldor (before he became Skeletor), to take it from its rightful owner, a powerful sorcerer named the Faceless One, Lord of Zalesia.

In Zalesia, Keldor engaged the Faceless One in battle, but when the Faceless One, who is Evil-Lyn's father, had a vision, that the young man that he was fighting was his future son in law, and that through Skeletor and Evil-Lyn's son, his bloodline would continue, he gave the Havoc Staff to Keldor.

>Skeletor's kid also has a weird skull face
I fucking love this comic

>>91147351
In one of the He Man comics, it turns out the staff is Future Skeletor who was a minion of Hordak and gained power and tried to overthrow Hordak, bit was defeated.

Seeing this cycle, Skeletor somehow broke free of this loop and did not become his own staff.

Actually it's a mask, that Skeletor's son wears to honour his father.

How is Masters of the Universe not more successful when Skeletor is consistently one of the most entertaining villains ever created?

Would it even be possible to get He-Man to the heights of popularity it enjoyed in the 80s?

Mmmyeahh

>>91148601
The early 80's have been the Sword & Sorcery Gold Era. There have been at least 3 movie franchises (Conan, Beastmaster, Ator), and 4 or 5 animated ones based on barbarian characters (He-Man, Blackstar, Thundarr, Lion-O, Fire and Ice). After 1985, their popularity reduced, and MOTU followed them.

don't forget all the wonderful knockoff toys that He-Man got over the years(anyone else find it bizarre that everyone does those "retro" action figures in the Kenner Star Wars style, when doing it in the MOTU style would be so much more appealing);

Myaaaa, He-man, I know you love your buff body but you cannot really tell the kids to take steroids, I mean come ON maaan

I really miss this old school 80s style. Why does it seem like when cartoons try to do this now, they fail miserably?

He-Man was nothing in "buff" terms. Mumm-Ra from the Thundercats, on the other hand. Him yes, was crazily buff!

>>91148018
Who's that fine lady in red?

>>91150654
Shadow Weaver.

>>91150727
what kinds of powers does she have?

>>91152090
She is powerful witch. She was a beautiful woman once, but Hordak convinced her to sacrifice her beauty and her unborn child, for gaining more powers, and she transformed to Shadow Weaver. Her powers are magical ones, so basically include teleportation, levitation, hypnotizing, magical force fields, stuff like that.

How can people not like this?

Skeletor and Mumm-Ra deserve their own comic. By far one of the best fictional villain duo ever. You can't have enough moments with them.
