Who's your favourite Masters of the Universe?

[samurainoir]

Who's your fave and why do you like 'em best?

I have a real soft spot for Mer-Man. He gets less pop culture respect than Aquaman. Particularly after finally reading his back story in a comic book one shot by Robert (Walking Dead) Kirkman a few years ago.

Also, I'm not quite up on my MoTU lore, but was it recently suggested in a contemporary source (tv show or comic) that Fist-O is Teela's dad? If so, where did they drop this bomb?

Webstor!

Trap-Jaw he had the eye-hole on top of his head I use to tie a string across my room and send him flying across with his machine gun.

[Mr.Krusher]

You are speaking my language sir!

Hard to say, are you referring to "Master" as in EVERYone, or as in the Heroic Forces?

If the former, it's a toss-up between Whiplash and Beast-Man.

If the latter, it's between Duncan and Moss-Man, though Zodac gets a nod - he's the 'Green Lantern' of the MOTU world.


As to Fisto being Teela's dad, it was established in the Mike Young cartoon - he appeared as a 'badly wounded warrior' and as 'Duncan's brother'. (VERY cool series if you havent watched it yet...cooler and far deeper than most folks would ever give it credit for..)

Take care -

I pretty much love all the charachters from G1 and G2. Wasnt into them as a kid, but the adult me says "what was I thinking". big chunky industructable plastic monsters with huge muscles and great action features (skunkor!!), whats not to like? I wish I had the room for a big he-man diorama, it would be a blast putting one together.

I came in a bit late to this line, so I don't really have a serious fondness for them. However, I do remember two that stood out to me. Stratos and Zodac. I'm going on pure visuals here, they're just too cool looking. I have no idea their backstories, but they look neat. Guess that's a superficial answer.

My all time favorite MOTU has to be Trap Jaw. I liked him the most because his arm was super cool and he had an awesome skull belt. I also liked the ring that came with him cause it had a secret compartment.

Kobra Khan. I would put red dye with water in his chamber so he could squirt colored venom at Heman...

[huedell]

As Random Axe implied... a lot of the love for the characters is
based on the visual aspects of the characters...

Here's my "Top Ten"...

1. MER-MAN
2. BEAST MAN
3. SKELETOR
4. TRAP JAW
5. EVIL-LYN
6. MAN-E-FACES
7. WEBSTOR
8. MEKANEK
9. BUZZ OFF
10. SNOUT SPOUT

Shout out to: CLAW-FUL, HORDAK and MOSQUITOR

I think for me it would be a 3 way tie between Webstor, Zodak and Straos though I was always partial to Trapjaws sprung loaded jaw

does anyone else remeber some of these coming with Glow In The Dark rings? or is it just me confusing them with another line

[ScottA]

I always liked Sorceress.

[kennermike]

1.Trap Jaw
2.Webstor
3.Blade
4.Saurod
5.Stratos

[huedell]

I always liked Sorceress.

I always think I'm giving her, Adam, Orko, Randor etc. the edge because
they were inspired by the cartoon and I found it so cool they were action
figures.... not something that directly has to do with your choice or anyone
else's, but... just somethin' your post reminded me of.

The day MOTUC comes out with Marlena... it's gonna be BIG I tell's ya!
