!!He-Man/Adam of the House of Randor
[[quoteright:173:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heman_8803.jpg]]
-->Played by: John Erwin (80's); Creator/DolphLundgren (Live-Action Movie); Creator/GaryChalk (He-Man only, New Adventures); Doug Parker (Adam only, New Adventures); Creator/CamClarke ('02)
-->"I have the power!"

Adam, prince of Eternia and descendant of the legendary King Grayskull, transforms into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, to protect Eternia from the forces of evil.

* ALadyOnEachArm: In the DC Comics story "Fate is the Killer!" Prince Adam arrives this way to a party, to whick Man-At-Arms comments "Only two wenches, lad? You're losing your charm!"
* ArmCannon: A wrist-mounted laser as Adam.
* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: TropeNamer. In ''The New Adventures of He-Man'', he would say "By the Power of Eternia".
** He would turn back to Adam with "Let the power return!"
* CampStraight: As Prince Adam in the 80's cartoon, though most of these characteristics Adam (supposedly) exhibited on purpose to help hide his true identity as He-Man.
* ClarkKenting: In the '80s version of the franchise, the only actual difference between his Adam and He-Man appearance is that... he wears more clothes as Adam. Averted in the 2002 cartoon and New Adventures, where Prince Adam is notably skinnier and younger-looking than He-Man.
* ChickMagnet: Not so much in his own series, aside from the one off guest characters, but when he shows up on She-Ra, he is this, whether as He-Man or Adam.
%%* CoolSword
* DeadpanSnarker: In the cartoons, both as Adam and as He-Man, though the nature of the snark varies depending of the show; in the '80s cartoon it's more good-natured, while in the 2002 cartoon it's notably edgier.
* {{Expy}}: In-universe, he [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull calls on the power of King Grayskull]], taking on his strength and appearance.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Sort of. He's half Eternian human and half Earthling human.
* HenshinHero: Adam is just a regular guy and only has superpowers when he turns into He-Man.
%%* TheHero
* HeroesWantRedheads: Teela, though how red her hair was depended on the series.
** [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower Castaspella]] also got his attention, probably because she was the only gal on Etheria to flirt with him as Adam and He-Man.
* ImportantHaircut: In ''The New Adventures of He-Man'', but in reverse: He-Man's hair inexplicably (but quite explicitly) gets ponytail-length longer during a moment of awesome mystical display.
%%* InvincibleHero
* LargeHam: '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Nr2xbuXHc I HAVE THE POWER!!!]]'''
%%* LoinCloth
* LustObject: For several girls in Etheria.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: Adam is a GenderFlipped version of a Magical Girl
* ManChild: Adam exhibits a childish behavior and plays blind chicken, presumably as part of his ObfuscatingStupidity act.
* NiceGuy: Especially in the Filmation series, bordering on AllLovingHero. You would ''hope'' the Most Powerful Man In The Universe would be a nice guy.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: As Adam in some versions.
* RealMenWearPink: In the 80's cartoon.
%%** [[HoYay Pink with lavender tights]].
* RetCanon: At first, he was just He-Man, until the DC Comics created a SecretIdentity as Prince Adam, which was later added to the toyline.
%%* SamaritanSyndrome
* SecretKeeper: He knows Teela's mother is the Sorceress.
* SeparatedAtBirth: His twin sister Adora was kidnapped by Hordak when they were babies.
%%* {{Stripperiffic}}

* TransformationTrinket: The Sword of Power
* WorldsStrongestMan: MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE UNIVERSE! Though in crossover comics with Superman, it is shown that Superman is stronger than He-Man.

!!Battle Cat/Cringer
[[quoteright:263:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Battlecat_3064.jpg]]
-->Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's)

Prince Adam's pet tiger, who transforms into Battle Cat, He-Man's fighting tiger.

* BerserkButton: As Cringer, he almost always lives up to his name, but is usually the opposite if Adam is in great danger. For example, in the 2002 series, Cringer attacks a Snake Man for trying to eat Adam.
* BigEater: Especially in the Filmation cartoon. "Boy am I glad to be home, I'm starving! Mmm! I think I'll get myself some lunch! And some dinner! Some supper! Mm... maybe an early breakfast!"
* CowardlySidekick: As Cringer, but turns into a FearlessFool as Battle-Cat.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly as Battle-Cat, but even Cringer got in some sarcasms on occasion.
* {{Expy}}: Cringer, (Battle Cat less so) especially in the 80's series, was little more than a green tiger version of ScoobyDoo.
** In-universe, Battle Cat inherits the power of King Grayskull's steed (an even bigger green lion).
* HiddenDepths: Regardless of continuity, Cringer can be a lot braver than even he thinks he's capable of.
%%* HorseOfADifferentColor
* MegaNeko: As Battle Cat.
* TalkingAnimal: 80's cartoon only
%%* TeamPet
* UndyingLoyalty: Cringer may be a scaredy cat, but he always stands by Adam - even when faced with all of Skeletor's Evil Warriors and the Council of Evil.

[[quoteright:127:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buzzoff_3585.jpg]]

King of the Andreenids, a race of bee people.

%%* BeePeople
%%* TheLancer
%%* NobodyCallsMeChicken
* OddFriendship: With Stratos in the 2002 series.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He was Stratos' replacement as the flying Heroic Warrior in the 80's.
** DivergentCharacterEvolution: the 2002 series gave him an arrogant personality that differentiated him from Stratos.

!!Clamp Champ/Raenius
[[quoteright:123:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clampchamp_7619.jpg]]

King Randor and Queen Marlena's bodyguard, armed with a clamp weapon.

* OutOfFocus: Due to being one of the latest Heroic Warriors to appear before the toyline's cancellation (his wave-mates in the toyline, King Randor and the Sorceress, had more luck since they began as {{Toyless Toyline Character}}s, therefore having more time to shine even before being released as figures). At least he managed to get enough screentime in the latest comics to avert becoming an AdvertisedExtra like the second wave of Galactic Guardians.
%%* SuperReflexes
* SuperSenses: He cannot be taken by surprise.
* TokenMinority: And they really took their time with this one, since as noted he was one of the last figures released and the original cartoon was over by this point. Even in the ''Classics'' line he's still the only black guy among the Heroic Warriors.

!!Extendar/Doodon
[[quoteright:72:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/extendar_9703.jpg]]
-->"I am Extendar, tower of power!"

A palace guard changed by Hordak into a cyborg with extensible arms, legs, neck and torso. Despite his powers being a Horde creation, he uses them for good.

%%* {{Cyborg}}
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Before getting his powers. Hordak promised him power if he accepted to become a cyborg, without telling him he intended to use him for evil purposes.
* [[TelescopingRobot Telescoping Cyborg]]: He can extend his neck, torso, arms and legs. His mini-comic depicted him as growing in power the further he extends, though this didn't come up in his ''Classics'' bio.

!!Fearless Photog/Jey

Gwildor's apprentice, who due to a miscalculation got accidentaly fused with his invention, the Photog Emulator, getting the power of draining his enemies' energy.

!!Fisto/Malcom
[[quoteright:75:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fisto_4747.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Mark Acheson ('02)

Man-At-Arms' brother, who has a metallic right hand. Generally considered the second strongest Heroic Warrior, after He-Man himself.

* AloofBigBrother: To Man-At-Arms though only in the 2002 series.
%%* PowerFist
* RightHandOfDoom: ''Huge''. In the 2002 series that's actually his real hand, while in the original series and ''Classics'' it's a mechanical prosthesis.
* UnfortunateName: Fisto can refer to a [[AssShove certain sexual practice]].

!!Gwildor
[[quoteright:83:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gwildor_6921.jpg]]
-->Played by: Creator/BillyBarty (Live-Action Movie)

Thenurian locksmith and inventor.

* {{Expy}}: His sole reason for existing is because they couldn't do a live-action Orko.
* GadgeteerGenius: Created the "cosmic key," allowing a person to travel between dimensions.
* {{Hobbits}}: He sure looks like one anyway.
%%* LittlePeople
* RefusalOfTheCall: He tries. But then Karg comes [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive kicking his door in]].

[[quoteright:106:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kingrandor_2073.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Michael Donovan ('02)
-->"To have one such as He-Man as my heir rather than Adam... now that would be a legacy any sovereign would be proud to leave his people."

Heroic ruler of Eternia. Younger son of King Miro, and Prince Adam's father.

%%* BadassNormal
%%* TheGoodKing
* HappilyMarried: to Queen Marlena
%%* HeroesWantRedheads
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Particularly in the '02 version, where he can hold his own in battle ''and'' is excellent at diplomacy.

!!Lizard Man/Gayn
[[quoteright:123::http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lizardman01_full.png]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80s)

A friendly lizard warrior who is friends with He-Man and the gang.

* InSeriesNickname: "Lizzie."
* {{Sssssnaketalk}}: He often speaks with a pronounced hiss to his voice.
* SuperReflexes: He is quite agile, able to deftly avoid attacks thrown his way and leap great distances. In "The Song of Celice," Evil-Lyn and Trap-Jaw discover he is quite difficult to capture and eventually have to just give up.
* ToylessToylineCharacter: Initially played straight, but finally averted when Classics gave him an action figure.
* WallCrawl: He can climb up walls just like a regular lizard.

!!Man-At-Arms/Duncan

!!Man-E-Faces/Perkaedo
[[quoteright:145:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/manefaces_340.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Paul Dobson ('02)

An actor who can change his face to become a human, robot or monster.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He began as a good guy who was transformed by Skeletor into an monster, and sometimes the struggle between human and monster caused the neutral robot personality to arise. Later characterisations show all the faces as the same heroic personality.
* MorphWeapon: Man-E-Faces has a weapon with three modes, much like himself. Staff, gun, and club � respectively well-suited to his human, robot, and monster faces.
* OfficialCouple: With Peekablue in Classics.
%%* ThePowerOfActing

!!Mekaneck/Orius
[[quoteright:117:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mekaneck_7299.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Gabe Khouth ('02)

Heroic human periscope. During a disaster, his neck was badly injured, so Man-At-Arms made him a mechanical extending neck.

%%* {{Cyborg}}
* LongLostRelative: His son, kidnapped by Count Marzo.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: He extends his neck. This works well for reconnaissance missions where he can act as a human periscope, but isn't very useful in combat.
** Called out a few times, namely in the 2002 cartoon episode "Mekaneck's Lament" and in DC's 2013 comic series. In the latter, Teela is always teasing him about it or talking smack about it behind his back, but she doesn't mean any of it.
** HeartIsAnAwesomePower: In "Mekaneck's Lament," his power helps him defeat Count Marzo.
** ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Situations that prove how useful Mekaneck is to the team tend to fall under this umbrella

!!Moss Man/Kreann'Ot N'Norosh
[[quoteright:76:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mossman_549.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); John Payne ('02)

A plant-based hero who can manipulate plant matter.

* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: In a nutshell, Moss Man is green, pointy-eared Bigfoot.
%%* GreenThumb
* NatureSpirit: The '02 version is the guardian and living embodiment of everything pure and good about Eternia's flora.[[note]]The writers commented that they intended to make up for the Filmation version of the character never getting to do much due to his late appearance in the series, but feel they may have overpowered him. So he ended up turning up only rarely[[/note]]
** He's also depicted as something along these lines in DC's 2013 comic series.
* PointyEars: Consistently depicted with them, probably a side-effect of the fact that his toy was a modified version of Beast Man's.
* OlderThanTheyLook: It's been recently revealed that he fought alongside King Grayskull.

!!Orko
[[quoteright:163:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/orko_7777.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); Gabe Khouth ('02)

A magician from the dimension of Trolla, who was stuck at Eternia by accident and became King Randor's jester.

* [[spoiler: AdaptationalVillainy: In the DC comic series, he is said to have betrayed the Master of the Universe to Skeletor, resulting in their initial defeat. And there is that figure with blue skin and dressed in red who rescues Skeletor after his loss to He-Man...]]
** [[spoiler: GoodAllAlong: It's revealed during the crossover with the DC Universe that Orko had discovered that Skeletor was tapping into the skull of Hordak Prime. Realizing that the ancient evil was about to re-awaken, Orko tried to use his own magic to seal the skull away, only to end up possessed by it.]]
%%* AmusingAlien
* BeautifulAllAlong: It's explicitly said that under his goofy hat, Orko's face is very handsome, or at least the equivalent on his home planet. (At least we get to see his hair.)
%%* CanonImmigrant
* CloudCuckoolander: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yFBAj3SyeA As Hordak learned]], Orko's brain is...unique. Even Roboto had trouble trying to figure him out.
** TooKinkyToTorture: It's entirely plausible that, like [[TheMuppetShow Gonzo the Great]], what's painful to most species just doesn't ''work'' with Orko. Under the circumstances [[{{Troll}} deliberately messing with Hordak]] isn't out of the realm of possibility, either.
* CourtMage: Is a mage now stuck working as Randor's Jester.
%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
* DeadpanSnarker: DependingOnTheWriter to a very high degree, but in some episodes/continuities, Orko can be extremely snarky.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He, normally an IneptMage actually separated [[IncrediblyLamePun Weaver's Shadow]]!
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: He almost never listens to Man-At-Arms when he is told this.
* FishOutOfWater: Orko is an extremely competent wizard at his home dimension; unfortunately Eternia is a place with different laws of physics, so his magic malfunctions there. He also loses his wand very shortly after arriving in Eternia, making his magic far more likely to backfire.
* IChooseToStay: In the '80s series and the '02 reboot, Orko is given chances to return permanently to Trolla, but he always chooses to stay in Eternia to help his friends.
* IneptMage: ZigZagged. He's an incredibly powerful and ''adept'' mage in his home dimension, but Eternia operates on different laws of physics (like trying to run software on an operating system it wasn't designed for), and he hasn't worked out all the bugs. When his magic works, the result is spectacular, but it's even more spectacular when it ''doesn't'' work as planned.
* TheJester: In Randor's court.
%%* KidAppealCharacter
* TheKlutz: He's always breaking Man-At-Arms's stuff.
* NeverBareheaded: He never removes his hat, as part of the Trollan custom that they never show their faces to anyone except their one true love. When he and Dree Elle showed each other their faces, they were kept offscreen; only shadows were shown. There is another Trollan who does show his face, so that gives us a hint of what he might look like.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Especially in the original series.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: Inverted; Orko was an archmage in Trolla. Too bad magic works differently in Eternia, or Etheria, or Earth.
* OneOfTheKids: Even though he's an adult Trollan, he hangs around and plays games with visiting kids.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In the Filmation series he sometimes had an urban and/or Jersey accent. It's probably because he was voiced by Filmation producer Lou Scheimer himself, who was from Pittsburgh.
* ParentalAbandonment: His Uncle Montork seems to be the only father figure he has.
* ThePowerOfLove: This is what allowed him to channel his magic through Dree Elle to save her in the episode ''The Greatest Magic''.
%%* PluckyComicRelief
* SecretKeeper: For Adam (He-Man), and by extension, Adora (She-Ra).
* SuicidalOverconfidence: Especially when he confronted Shadow Weaver the second time.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Orko is afraid of dragons in an episode. But to quote the recurring line of the episode, "Who isn't?"
* YourMagicsNoGoodHere: On Trolla he is regarded as their greatest wizard, but on Eternia his spells rarely work the way he wants. It's eventually revealed that magic on Trolla works roughly the opposite as it does on Eternia. Ironically, he actually managed to ''humiliate Shadow Weaver''.

!!Queen Marlena Glenn
-->Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Erika Scheimer (She-Ra); Nicole Oliver ('02)

An astronaut from Earth who got stranded on Eternia and married King Randor, giving birth to Prince Adam and his sister Adora.

* AcePilot: In "The Rainbow Warrior" she shows her stuff by taking out most of Skeletor's air forces by herself.
* CanonImmigrant: Created for the DC Comics, then appeared in the cartoon and was added to the toyline's minicomics, to finally have a figure of her own after the 2011 SDCC.
%%* HappilyMarried
* HiddenDepths: In the 80s cartoon, she ends up leading a squadron of ships to rescue her husband and son from the clutches of Skeletor revealing her to be an extremely competent aerial fighter pilot on top of her astronaut skills despite having not been in the game for 20 years.
%%* TheHighQueen
* IChooseToStay: In the episode "Visitors from Earth", two astronauts offered her a chance to return to Earth but she said Eternia was her home now.
* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: See SecretSecretKeeper below.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Several episodes hint at her knowing that Prince Adam is He-Man but the most blatant hint comes at the end of the episode where she reveals her fighter pilot skills: she deliberately rescues Adam first which allows him to transform into He-Man and rescue everyone else. When Adam later asks her why on earth she rescued him first, all she says is that she "had a feeling he'd know what to do". She doesn't come right out and admit she knows Adam is He-Man, but she does say "a mother always recognises her own son".
* ShoutOut: Her name could be a reference to pilot/astronaut [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Glenn John Glenn]].

!!Ram-Man/Krass
[[quoteright:113:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ramman_874.jpg]]
-->Played by: John Erwin (80's); [=Scott McNeil=] ('02)

A warrior who uses his head as a battering ram.

* BoisterousBruiser: Mostly in the minicomics, but he still is in other versions to a lesser extent.
%%* DumbMuscle
%%* TheBigGuy
* PintSizedPowerhouse: In the original series. He was much shorter than He-Man in both toy and cartoon form, but was still very strong.
* UseYourHead: He has the decency to wear a helmet and have a metal plate fixed on the top of his head, at least. The 80s incarnation had springs for legs to facilitate headbutts, as well.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes??: Ram-Man is afraid of the dark, as revealed in his ADayInTheLimelight episode of the '02 cartoon.

!!Rio Blast/Riolus Blast
[[quoteright:101:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rioblast_9992.jpg]]

A member of the Starband Marshalls from planet Loredos, who joined the Heroic Warriors of Eternia to catch Horde Prime.

%%* MoreDakka
* LethalChef: As Orko found out when he tasted his chili. He-Man then politely turned down the meal.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A cyborg cowboy.
* OddCouple: With Snout Spout in the Star comics.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In his case, it's effectively snakes. In the same comic issue where this is revealed [[FromBadToWorse he faces King Hiss]]

!!Roboto/Robot Model 9041
[[quoteright:95:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roboto_4983.jpg]]
-->Played by: Alan Oppenheimer (80's); Michael Donovan ('02)

A robot built by Man-At-Arms to play chess, who upgraded himself as a warrior robot.

%%* ArmCannon
%%* AwesomenessByAnalysis
* ClockworkCreature: According to the toy's visible inner works.
%%* RoboSpeak

!!Rokkon
[[quoteright:74:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rokkon_484.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

A young member of the Rock People.

* DistressedDude: There are several versions of how the Stone people arrive to Eternia (or Etheria), and in most of them Rokkon is captured or incapacitated so Stonedar and He-Man (or She-Ra) have to rescue him.

!!Rotar
[[quoteright:78:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rotar_8967.jpg]]

A guard of the royal palace until one of Skeletor's attacks left him injured. Man-At-Arms saved him by using a machine that changed him into a spinning cyborg.

%%* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning
%%* WeCanRebuildHim

!!Snout Spout/Jaxton
[[quoteright:142:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snoutspout_5533.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (She-Ra)

An Etherian peasant who was captured by Hordak and turned into a cyborg with an elephant-like head that allows him to shoot water out of the trunk. He escaped to Eternia and joined the Heroic Warriors.

* AnAxeToGrind: He is a firefighter, it comes with the job.
%%* CantStayNormal
* {{Cyborg}}: His elephant head is cybernetic.
* OddCouple: With Rio Blast in the Star comics. He's the neat and by-the-book one.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: Hordak kidnapped him to make him into a cyborg, rather than trick him like he did with Extendar.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Snout Spout can... fire water out of his trunk. However, he subverts the trope by using his powers (in creative yet not-so-awesome ways) to shoot ice, vapor or just water when the situation requires it.

!!The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull/Teela'Na
[[quoteright:136:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sorceress_6481.jpg]]
-->Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Christina Pickles (Live-Action Movie); Venus Terzo (New Adventures); Nicole Oliver ('02)
* BlessedWithSuck: Think about it. Blessed with the ability to discern almost all the things happening on Eternia, having extremely powerful magic at her command...and yet, she was unable to leave the Castle without being reduced to flying around as a bird with very low-level telepathy. One imagines the limitations got quite frustrating. The very few times she was able to overcome these limitations were explicitly stated to be special circumstances.
* CanonImmigrant: At least her bird-like looks.
%%* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep
%%* HerHeartWillGoOn
* LukeIAmYourFather: The Sorceress is Teela's mother, a fact known only by herself, Man-At-Arms and Adam/He-Man.
%%* ShesGotLegs
%%* TeamMom
* ToylessToylineCharacter: She almost suffered this fate in the first toyline, being released at the tail end, and despite being redesigned for both the New Advetures and the 2002 series, she wasn't released in neither of these, albeit her 2002 version got an statue in scale with the figures.
* TrulySingleParent: Unless you count Skeletor, who used the power of Point Dread to clone the Sorceress to create Teela.
** Except in the 2002 series, where it happened the old-fashioned way.

!!Stonedar
[[quoteright:63:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stonedar_4589.jpg]]
-->Played by: [=George DiCenzo=] (She-Ra)

Leader of the Rock People.

%%* TechnicalPacifist

!!Stratos of the house of Avion
[[quoteright:78:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stratos_2204.jpg]]
-->Played by: Lou Scheimer (80's); [=Scott McNeil=] ('02)
-->"As a bird-man, I've got a thing about cages."

Leader of the bird people from Avion.

* BirdPeople: Though he has mammalian hair...
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: In the 2002 series, Stratos' voice is plainly based on Creator/SeanConnery's; apparently, it was felt that Stratos's beard brought Connery to mind.
* OddFriendship: With Buzz-Off in the 2002 series.
* TokenNonhuman: in the first few minicomics, before more non-human Heroic Warriors were added.

!!Sy-Klone, Son of Dy-Lex
[[quoteright:106:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/syklone_3231.jpg]]

Guardian of the Legacy Stones in the city of Anwat Gar, able to create whirlwinds. After the Legacy Stones are destroyed, Sy-Klone joins the Heroic Warriors.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A samurai wind elemental

!!Teela
[[quoteright:100:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/teela_5417.jpg]]
-->Played by: Linda Gary (80's); Chelsea Field (Live-Action Movie); Cathy Weseluck (New Adventures); Lisa Ann Beley ('02)
-->"This whole thing smells of Skeletor."

Captain of the royal guard and Man-At-Arms's adopted daughter, who has a crush on He-Man.

%%* ActionGirl
* ArmCannon: A wrist-mounted laser.
%%* BadassNormal
* GreenEyedMonster: In the 80s series she was annoyed whenever an attractive woman showed interest in Adam, like in "Song of Celice" where she gives the title character the stink-eye when they first meet.
* HappilyAdopted: By Man-At-Arms
* HartmanHips: Teela in the 80s cartoon had serious curves.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Her two favorite pastimes are giving Adam grief in his training and talking smack on the other Heroic Warriors (as Mecha-Neck). She doesn't mean anything by it, but her attitude has gotten her in trouble a few times.
%%* LadyOfWar
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:Becomes the new Sorceress in the New 52-era DC comics]]
%%* LeotardOfPower
* LoinCloth: In the DC comics.
* LukeIAmYourFather: The 2002 series hints that her biological father is either Man-At-Arms or his brother Fisto.
