Tankers,
Just picked up the first 10 episodes of the Masters of the Universe cartoon from 2002 at Wal-Mart in the $5.00 bin. In the first 3 episode story arc, the Sorceress tells He-Man that he can never reveal his secret identity to anyone or it will put his family and friends in jeopardy from Skeletor's wrath. The thing is, most of Adam's friends are the Masters of the Universe, and they openly fight against Skeletor constantly. As far as his parents go, Skeletor HATES Randor for the accident that took his face and turned him from Keldor to Skeletor. Would Skeletor go after Adam's friends and allies any harder if he knew the truth? In the end, I just chalk it up to the writers adding this element to the story to sorta keep with the time-honored tradition of the hero's "secret identity" factor. What do you think? Would love some opinions on this!

First 10 episodes or best of MOTU DVD?
You do raise an interesting point. They rarely show Adam with anyone else his own age except for Tela. |

The Prince Adam to He Man transformation in the newer series was much better than the old one, imo. I would have a hard time believing that THAT kid was He Man. Not so much with the older series. I mean switching from a purple velvet shirt to a piece of chest armor does not a secret identity make.

In the original the only ones who knew who He Man was were Man At Arms, Orko, Scorcress, and Cringer.

I think it's assumed that he has other friends and family than what is shown in the series. Also, as Adam he's useless and could easily be taken out by Skeletor.

Well, yeah but Adam's a target for Skeletor anyway as a means of getting to the king. Common knowledge that he turns into He-Man really wouldn't make much of a difference. May even be a deterrent to kidnapping him. One thing I didn't understand about the original series is how no one noticed that He-Man and Adam looked identical, one just wore a white shirt and purple vest. That was worse than Clark Kent's glasses. At least in the new series they made him look scrawny as Adam... still carried the He-Man sword around though.

just a storyline element to amplify the Adam/Teel dynamic IMO.its Lois/Clark/Superman all over again
she is bustin for a ride on He Man yet thinks Adam is a shithead.makes for great viewing!!! on a side not I absolutely LOVE the Horde/King Greyskull episode of this show such a pity the 3rd series was canned by Mattels laziness.the return of the Horde,intro of She Ra and the Masters and He Man being fugitives would have rocked |
