He-Man

He-Man is the main character of the sword and sorcery Masters of the Universe franchise. He-Man is characterized by his superhuman strength. He-Man and his friends attempt to defend the realm of Eternia and the secrets of Castle Grayskull from the evil forces of Skeletor. The character was created by designer Roger Sweet, who intentionally created the character in such a way for him to be abstract and generic enough to be applied into any context and genre. He-Man has been singled out for the homoeroticism and gay subtext surrounding his character.
