And that's not actually a suit he's wearing but his actually body. His face was just burned off.

This ruins the character for me tbh

Yes. At first he was someone evil who came from another dimension to Eternia.

There's a shit ton of Keldor Skeletor porn art.

And YES I looked.

According to fanfics a surprising number of ladies were more into the skin too apparently.

Which is how it should have remained, honestly.

The cartoon had 130 episodes and they got by without that twist. They had a live action theatrically released movie without it being canon. The original toyline came to an end before they could reveal who he was. But they just had to shoehorn in a blatant copy of one of the most famous film twists of all time.

What they really should have done with Skeletor is had him answer to his mother who was always off-screen. Then, when it's time for him to fight He-Man, he comes out wearing a wig and a dress and that's when the audience realizes that Skeletor has been his mother the whole time.

At least there would be a few people who might not get the reference.

I liked the 2002 origin for Skeletor. Keldor having a bitter rivalry with his brother King Randor over the throne makes sense. And then Keldor getting his face burnt off during battle and turning into his iconic skull persona via dark magic to survive fit fine. Seeing that he actually had a previous identity before his self-inflicted disfigurement added to the complexity of why he continued on as a vengeful antagonist instead of submitting to Randor.

One of the comic origins where he was basically an alien from another dimension where he had a family and skullheaded people were the default sounded way more ridiculous and cheap. That's the one I hoped was permanently retconned...

god no

I remember watching a youtube vid showing parts of the 90's New Adventures of He-Man cartoon and it was horrible. The worst part was Skeletor sounded like William Shatner and he wasn't diabolically ruthless at all. He was basically written as a dopey conman....with a devious looking skull for a face (and the victims were just written to fall for it). They wrote him as more of a bumbling crook instead of a sinister and menacing warlord. They neutered him for the sake of politically correct marketing.

Like the original cartoon series was historically a glorified toy advertisement that through dumb luck just happened to also be entertaining for kids too. But the 90's reboot failed to repeat that; it screamed "this reboot obviously sucks, but gets a season to push merchandising ". There just wasn't anything likable about it besides clowning on how awful it was.
