History Characters / HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2021

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: The Power of Havoc turned R'Qazz and Kronis into pretty ugly hulking monsters, but for some reason just gave Evelyn a makeover and long hair, the most monstrous of her changes being her now purple eyes and a pair of magical bat wings growing out of her head.

* AdaptationalModesty: His Keldor form wears a robe which covers up most of his body, rather than a fairly straightforward headswap of his later form as in the 2003 series. As Skeletor, he has pants, whereas prior incarnations only had a loincloth.

* DropTheHammer: As Kronis, his preferred melee tool is a massive warhammer. He tries to offer it to Skeletor to empower with kirbinite, but Skeletor chooses to use his jaw brace instead.

* AppropriatedAppelation: Krass was the one to come up with the "He-Man" term, and it eventually stuck.

* AppropriatedAppelation: A variation in that the title belonged to his ''opponent'' Kronis, who was bragging about being appointed to the position by King Randor before he turned traitor.

* GutturalGrowler: When transformed, Trap Jaw's voice is much rougher than Kronis's own, likely due to all of the extra teeth in his throat.

* {{Claustrophobia}}: Her parents were killed when their ship crashed, she herself only surviving because she had her father's helmet on, and she was trapped in the wreck for ''three days'' before the Tiger Tribe could get her out. She thus understandably has a bit of a panic attack when trapped in a different ship under a pile of rubble.

*** As he makes it clear that he intends to keep all the spoils of victory for himself, the other Dark Masters plot to overthrow him by tricking him into sharing his Havoc. [[spoiler:Their rebellion is quickly squashed because Skeletor made sure he would be able to use Havoc to control them after sharing it]]. By Season 2, Kronis and R'Qazz have enough of being controlled by Skeletor and allow He-Man to destroy the Havoc Staff, even if it means losing their Havoc, just so they will no longer be controlled.
*** [[spoiler: While Skeletor rules Eternos, the whole population can't stand him and only put up with him because he's mind controlled the army.]]

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:Killing King Grayskull was her [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failure]], as she let Grayskull become possessed by the Havoc he created due to [[HonorBeforeReason her loyalty to him above reason]], but it was completely justified at the time as Grayskull had become [[FallenHero the first Skeletor]] by that point and nearly destroyed the world in his thirst for more power, necessitating his death to protect everyone. [[WellIntentionedExtremist She also feels a great amount of guilt over annihilating the Aquaticans while imprisoning Grayskull's remains]], leaving Mer-Man the SoleSurvivor of his people, but only because Grayskull's corpse falling into the wrong hands could lead to someone becoming AGodIAm with the combination of Grayskull's own natural power and Havoc being joined together in pure unison that could unmake the entire universe.]]

** [[spoiler:Pulls off his biggest victory in the finale of Season Three as he becomes an [[AGodIAm all-powerful god being]] fueled by the Power and Havoc upon being brought BackFromTheDead, nearly remaking the entirety of creation into an extension of himself. [[SubvertedTrope However]], he ''finally'' hits the KarmaHoundiniWarranty after three seasons of net positives as he overestimates himself and lets the pride get to him, allowing He-Man and the Masters of the Universe to DePower him, returning him back to ordinary Keldor altogether after stripping him completely of Havoc, before sending him to be locked up in the dungeons of Eternos for his crimes by Randor.]]

* ProphecyTwist: [[spoiler:Despite what it's believed initially by Adam and the Masters of the Universe, Keldor ''is'' the proper heir to Grayskull... since Grayskull [[GreaterScopeVillain created both the Power of Grayskull AND Havoc himself]], before being corrupted into the ''[[LegacyCharacter first]]'' Skeletor in the process of fighting the Snake People. The downside however, is that this further entitles Keldor to believe he is the rightful king of ''everything'' [[AGodIAm and that it should all be remade in his own image]].]]

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Abracadabra! Abracadee!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Stratos out!"

* OlderAndWiser: Probably not ''wiser'' by a great stretch, but this is probably the more mature incarnation of Orko both physically and mentally that's been seen in any version of ''Masters of the Universe'' to date.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:Killing King Grayskull was her [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failure]], as she let Grayskull become possessed by the Havoc he created due to [[HonorBeforeReason her loyalty to him above reason]], but it was completely justified at the time as Grayskull had become [[FallenHero the first Skeletor]] by that point and nearly destroyed the world in his thirst for more power, necessitating his death to protect everyone. [[WellIntentionedExtremist She also feels a great amount of guilt over accidentally annihilating the Aquaticans while imprisoning Grayskull's remains]], leaving Mer-Man the SoleSurvivor of his people, but only because Grayskull's corpse falling into the wrong hands could lead to someone becoming AGodIAm with the combination of Grayskull's own natural power and Havoc being joined together in pure unison that could unmake the entire universe.]]
