* HeroesWantRedheads: Teela, though how red her hair was depended on the series.
** Many one off guest female characters in the show were notably red heads or similar and flirted or, at least, were smitten by He-Man. The Queen of Phantos was one of them.
** [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower Castaspella]] also got his attention, probably because she was the only gal on Etheria to flirt with him as Adam as well as He-Man.



* HeroesWantRedheads: Again, Queen Marlena.

General clarification on works content; Orko in the TV series resembles a Jawa, a character from the 1977 Star Wars Film, so clearly live-action effects could have created a (non-flying/hovering) Orko. It was probably more of a budgetary issue than anything else.


* {{Expy}}: His sole reason for existing is because they couldn't do a live-action Orko with the effects technology of the 1980's.

* CowardlyLion: In the 2002 series episode "History", when Tung Lashor has his tongue wrapped around Adam's wrists and is clearly about to drag Adam towards himself to hurt the Prince. Cringer immediately puts his game face on and proceeds to actually bite Lashor's tongue until he finally lets Adam go, then in turn letting go during the struggle to make Lashor trip.
-->'''Prince Adam:''' You've got more Battle-Cat in you than you think Cringer!

Orko looks similar to the Jawas from Star Wars, which came out in the late 70s. Making him float could have been done with some camera trickery. Therefore it was probably more of a budget issue than a technology issue.


* AdaptedOut: The movie replaced him with Gwildor because they couldn't make a live action Orko with the technology of the 1980's.

* LethalChef: As seen in the 1938 show, Orko is ''not'' a good chef when trying to cook for others, to the point of dangerous recipes. In "The Good Shall Survive", his attempt at making a pie ends up with a ''pure baking soda filling'' instead. It actually ends up saving the day, as the disaster of a recipe is stolen along with other foods from storage, leaving the thieving Tycons with horrible stomachaches. Despite this, pre-made food that he summons for himself always seems to be a safe bet.

* 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 He-Man was uncomfortable, to say the least. Also, with Mara and Drissi in ''New Adventures''.
** More so in the DC Comics stories, where part of Adam's pretense as the court fop was being more concerned with "wenching" than fulfilling his duties as Prince of the realm (see ALadyOnEachArm below).

* LiteralSplitPersonality: As mentioned above, Skeletor used the Goddess/Sorceress's power to create a baby duplicate of her which he planned to mentally dominate and [[WifeHusbandry raise]] into his bride so that when she developed her powers they could take Grayskull together. In "The Tale of Teela", Skeletor managed to kidnap her and mind-control her, forcing the Sorceress to merge with her in order to break the spell. In the end, the Sorceress separates herself from Teela once more--as good as it felt to be whole again, Teela had a life of her own. Although, at the end, He-Man wonders if they might end up merging for good, someday.
