2* One might wonder why the Sorceress never allows Teela to know her true origin, but in the 200X series after a serious injury Teela gets a transfusion from her mother and taps briefly into her latent powers. It takes Evil-Lyn less then a day to sense Teela's powers and use them against her. Letting Teela in on her secret would make her too vulnerable and if Skeletor learned of her destiny then she'd either be at the top of his kill list, since right now she's just an annoyance no more important than any other Master, or he'd find a way to control her and use her powers for himself.
3* Mattel has, as of ''Classics'', indicated that the He-Man role has been passed down through various holders of the power sword(including Wun-Dar and Oo-Larr) since the time of the original He-Man, King Grayskull. While King Grayskull was introduced in 2008 and cannot necessarily apply to MOTU fiction before then, it does present the theory that He-Man is the ancient hero who appears every few decades, and that no one suspects Adam is that hero.
4* Prince Adam's name follows the classic StevenUlyssesPerhero naming scheme. In many languages, such as Hebrew and Turkish, "Adam" means "man", reflecting Adam's status as the first man in Literature/TheBible. What better name, then, for someone whose alter-ego's title affirms his masculinity?
5* With TheReveal that [[YourMagicsNoGoodHere Eternian and Trollan magic work on fundamentally different principles]], Orko's status as a powerful archmage on Trolla makes a lot of sense; the simple fact he's able to get ''any'' kind of magic to work when he's having to battle completely unfamiliar and unstudied dimensional physics to do so means he ''has'' to be pretty good at magic! It also explains why Orko's WildMagic can sometimes have such crazy-strong outcomes; Orko's still got the raw ''power'', he just doesn't have the ''control'' he normally would have.
6* Whenever Cringer becomes Battle Cat, he dons a [[CoolMask red helmet]]. This works on both a public and personal level:
7** People can feel braver and more empowered with the mask providing protection through anonymity. However scared Cringer may be underneath, the helmet can reduce his fear.
8** In transforming, Cringer grows in size... but that's it, he's still a green tiger. Any smart person would know there's only one green tiger running around, alongside Adam, and would work out the secret identity. The helmet makes it a bit harder to work out, since there could be other green tigers around.

11* Am I the only one who is a tad concerned about the heavy amount of cyborgs in the side of good in this series? Mekaneck (Who has a robotic ''neck''), Ram Man (who has a metal plate in his skull), Man-E-Faces (A robotic face as one of the forms he takes as well as a spinning device that changes his heads), Fisto (who has a robotic arm) and a few others. Could this imply that there was a heavy amount of bodily damage that the heroes had to endure?
12** This is outright stated in certain parts of the fiction, and shown in Fisto's case in 200X where he shattered his hand freeing the heroes from a rock slide. But one wonders though why the surgeons opt for enhanced features over either surgery or a simpler replacement part.
13* In the 1987 movie, Skeletor's NearVillainVictory near the end of the movie is even more disturbing than you think. Skeletor declares that he will become the Master of the Universe when he receives the power of the cosmos, meaning he would take over not just Eternia, but all the planets. we see that Skeletor, his minions and the heroic warriors recently visited Earth. had the heroes fail to repair the Cosmic Key to stop Skeletor, it would be possible that our world will be one of the planets be enslaved by Skeletor had he [[TheBadGuyWins pernamently succeeded]].
