Hordak and the Unnamed One in SPOP

As in the title, it's interesting it's specifically noted that in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Hordak started out as literally Unnamed (something noted in the series) and only took on the name Hordak some time after coming to Etheria. Making me wonder if this is a coincidence (more probable), or a reference to a fan theory that in the 1986 Powers of Grayskull storyline, Hordak was the Unnamed One, instead of Gorpo, or as was to be the case in the 200X comics (kinda) Horde Prime. (I elaborated on this theory in my discussion with @lemaistrechat here). Though as I discussed with @toonjukka , the identity of the Unnamed One in 80s seemed to had been undecided.

SPOP did reference some obscure lore, and even maybe fan lore/theories - up to for example, in Origin of Hero, the novelization of The Sword two part pilot, Octavia, in what is meant to be an offensive and insulting joke, suggested Catra (and probably her kind) are from Beast Isle...and in gbagok's fan lore, Catra was from Beast Isle, and the book possibly referenced it in a creative way...

Still, like the Unnamed, and Hordak in He-Man and She-Ra Power Tour lead Snake Men, SPOP Hordak' forces were in large part composed of Rogelio's lizard men species, being kinda Snake Men like (if separate from them), with Rogelio and the rest of his kind seemingly being inspired by the prototype design of Rattlor, as is some of Rogelio's characterization.

Still, this would be just a reference then - Hordak rather wasn't present on ancient Eternia/Preternia, seeing it's strongly implied Hordak is relatively young in SPOP/not ancient. (Unless the portal to Despondos/Etheria transported him 500 to 1000 years into the future..., but that's just a rather a pretty improbable theory).

Alright, a specific iteration won, but nobody said what itteration in the replies. So now we gotta do another poll!

What iteration of Masters of the Universe?

[emperorsfoot]

I wish Dare and Skeleteen had interacted with each other more.

They barely even appear in the same panel together! Across the entire Classics-Line comics, Dare and Skeleteen only appear together in 3 panels, and in only ONE(1) of them are they even interacting with each other.

He-man and the masters of the universe explained

I had this musing for an AU for Prince Keldor where he has Henry VIII type problems like the wife gives birth to like, four daughters, and King Miro just gives up waiting and makes Randor his successor.

Stuff like this occurs to me because I'm really interested in how tweaking a variable or two affects subsequent happenings like ripples in a pond.

Does Keldor turn into an abusive tyrant like Henry VIII before vanishing to become Skeletor or does he remain kind to his wife until he disappears?

Just stuff I think about when I'm bored.

When Stinkor was created for Masters of the Universe, Mattel executives were told when presenting him to the cartoon studio Filmation that this was terrible and there was nothing they could do with him if he appeared but fart jokes.

A year later, the She-Ra line had a figure whose gimmick was “smells good”, and Filmation gave her one of the best episodes, “Flowers for Hordak”.

So what I want to see is a fanfic in this continuity where they meet. Hordak is plotting an invasion of Eternia, but he needs to know where Skeletor will be, so he sends scouts to grab whomever's guarding Snake Mountain and bring them in for interrogation. It's Stinkor. Hordak and subordinates have no idea how to deal with this until Perfuma waltzes into the Fright Zone to see Hordikins again.

Queen Angella reimagined

A WIP for now, I have to finish some important Uni assigments and idk how long will be until I finish this XD

For some time now I’ve been imagining an AU based on both Spop and classic MOTU, trying to figure out where each character fit the narrative. Entrapta and Hordak are my favorite so far, but Angella fills a place there as well.

She is basically immortal, somehow managed to be the only Queen on Etheria and leader of the Alliance, she has to be God knows how old. Married a powerful sorcerer who is the head of Mystacor, and opposes the Horde with all her might.

My head went back over and over again to the character of Jessica Atreides (Dune 2020) while drawing her and wonder how her personality would influence others. In my head, she isn’t the sweet and merciful Queen everyone seen to be fond of.

"OH, BUT NEVER HAVE I HELD SUCH RAW POWER IN MY FISTS!"

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a splash page of Skeletor threatening the "doom of Eternia," from the pages of "MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE" Vol. 1 #3. February, 1983. DC Comics.

"I have traveled the length of the multiverse, wreaking havoc... bringing terror wherever the shadow of Skeletor's boot fell across the cowering populace. Billions of souls... countless worlds... universes beyond counting... all have fallen to my might! Oh, but never have I held such raw power in my fists!"

Composite SPOP and Classic MOTU Horde Prime, as drawn by NovelAI Diffusion. He takes (among things) the white elements and multiple (4) green eyes (with a slit) of SPOP Horde Prime, but also the red elements of MOTUC Horde Prime including his look with his mask on, inspired by his form in Filmation She-Ra. The mask curiously also resembles the Guardian of the Heart, who has a connection to Horde Prime.

Masters of the Universe fandom,

Reblog this post so we can find each other.

Out of curiosity I looked up 80s Netossa

Netossa is significant for being the only black doll in the original SPOP. She had a grand total of four episodes (which sucks bc I feel like out of the characters her design is one of the best). I believe she also had no powers in the original solely relying on manmade nets vs. Generating energy ones in the 2018 version.

As far as I know, there has been two versions of Netossa made. One released in 2013 figure (sadly with no brushable hair) and ofc the original figure from the 80s

While the 2013 suit is more accurate to the cartoon design, there's just something charming about her 80s figure. Plus those nets look more accurate to the cartoon than the 2013 version. Either way, she truly lives up to her name as a captivating beauty!

Interestingly there's a backstory for her on the 2013 figure's packaging.

She was also supposed to have a doll in 2016 here's the prototype

What could have been... A perfect blend of 2013 and 80s.
