I’m not sure how many of you are keen on the old cartoon/comic series Masters of the Universe. But even if that name doesn’t ring a bell, you probably know all about the character He-Man! The do-gooder son of a bitch who protects all who live on the planet of Eternia..Oh wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s do some backtracking…
THIS is Eternia. Sorta looks like Earth doesn’t it? Anyway, according to the Masters of the Universe cannon, Eternia is the center of the universe. Besides He-Man (who is the point of this and I shall get to it in a moment), it is also the place that homes snakemen, mossmen, skunkmen, and countless other nasty and friendly beast that would go against and at times stand beside He-Man in his never ending battle for the sake of good! But one fact remains when you break down Eternia and it’s “Eternians”, they are all really stupid.
You see, throughout fictional history, many a great men have went out of their way to hide who they truly were. Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, and even Matt Murdock all went to great lengths to protect the fact that they were Batman, Spider-Man, and Daredevil respectively. The weakest disguise was a title once held by Clark Kent, who used the grand costume of a pair of glasses to protect his identity from Louis Lane and the rest of Metropolis (another dumb area in fictional history). But as weak of a trick as that was, there was at least a little effort placed into it.
Now, in the small chance you weren’t aware of this already, He-Man parades around under the identity of Prince Adam. Personality wise, most would probably never guess that they were both one in the same. But what does Prince Adam use to coverup the fact he’s He-Man? Well, here’s a look at Prince Adam.
OK, now take a look at Prince Adam when he in full on He-Man mode.
Wait, WHAT? That’s right, folks. Prince Adam doesn’t do a single damn thing to cover the fact he’s He-Man. Not a mask, not a pair of glasses, not even a different hairstyle. Adam simple takes off his wimpy looking clothes and puts on the barbaric style outfit that is the trademark for He-Man. And NOBODY besides his companion Battle Cat knows the difference. And even Battle Cat wears a mask to cover himself up. Take a look at this side by side comparison of Prince Adam and He-Man
Yep, that sums it up. Eternia may be the land of giants, flying bee people, and the most heroic man to ever walk the planet using the power of GreySkull. But at the same time, they have to be the dumbest people to ever grace the fictional pages of comic books or the animated screen of cartoons.
