* ChickMagnet: Not so much in his own series, aside from Teela and the one off guest characters, but when he shows up on ''She-Ra'', he is this, whether as He-Man or Adam. Castaspella used her magic to forcefully bring him to Etheria, just because she saw how handsome Adam was. And Frosta was so smitten and obvious (and by obvious, we mean she literally ''flinging herself at his arms'') that made He-Man uncomfortable, to say the least. Also, with Mara and Drissi in ''New Adventures''.
