* TheDragon: He was one to Hordak in the past before defecting. After Motherboard re-converts him back into the Horde, he quickly becomes her main henchman.



** After taking the Sword and becoming Skelegod, at no point does Skeletor try using the Power of Grayskull to bring his supposed family back, instead focusing all his attention on killing He-Man and remaking the Universe (forgetting the latter part after seeing Adam transform without the Sword).

-->'''Hordak:''' Heads will roll, Acolyte. And soon, you will learn what all the universe will come to know -- I am Hordak, ''conquest incarnate''. So let this be our ''final'' battle!

* DeathGlare: Gives one to Skeletor when Skeletor bursts into his meeting with Motherboard to boast about how easily they played the people Eternos.

* {{Irony}}: When Skeletor calls him out for making Motherboard his right-hand instead of himself, Hordak boasts that she was merely an extension of his hand, a tool of the Horde, just like Skeletor. Ironically, Hordak himself is just another tool of the Horde, as he is merely public face and field leader acting as the second-in-command to Horde Prime, who is the ''true'' leader of the Horde, and no doubt the much greater threat than Hordak is. Skeletor even calls him out on this, too.

* NotQuiteDead: After his fight with Skeletor ends disastrously for him, he's presumed dead by everyone and even Teela can't feel him being alive; of course it turns out he's still alive, albeit in really terrible condition requiring life support but Despara does mention Horde Prime will have him back in full shape soon so they can enact their revenge.

Added DiffLines:

* PuppetKing: Various toys and promotional materials refer to him as the Emperor of the Horde. However, at the end of the day, Hordak is little more than a warlord acting as the Horde's public face and field leader. If anything, Hordak is nothing more than a glorified poster boy and lapdog for Horde Prime, who is the ''true'' Emperor of the Horde.

* AdaptationalBadass: While his Filmation counterpart wasn't weak per say, his boastful, dimwitted, and arrogant nature meant he lacked a great deal of foresight, resulting in his plans always failing, getting trounced by He-Man, She-Ra, and the Great Rebellion at every turn. Here, while he ultimately ends up being defeated, he still proves himself to be a force to be reckoned with, as Skeletor finds out.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Filmation Hordak wasn't outright stupid, but he was often blindsided by his arrogance, sadistic urge to make the Etherians' lives even more miserable, and therefore, made foolish decisions, [[GladIThoughtOfIt took his minions ideas as his own]], constantly insulted them and dropped them down his trap door. Here, while still incredibly arrogant, he displays far more cunning and pragmatism than his original counterpart ever did. His sadism also isn't as pronounced and is overall more respectful, if not apathetic and condescending, towards his minions.

** Even his Skeletek transformation in ''Revolution'' doesn't look pleasant. He becomes an equivalent of cybernetic Grim Reaper.



* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The way ''Revolution'' executed how Keldor and Skeletor were the same person could easily be considered a stand-in for Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

* ThisIsUnforgivable: She treats Skeletor barging into her conversation with Hordak and boasting about their success as such. She doesn't kill him, but ''does'' threaten to do if he ever does something like this again.

Added DiffLines:

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: YouDontLookLikeYou explains it in detail, but in ''Revolution'' Hordak looks pretty much nothing like he does in the ''Revelation'' prequel comics.


Added DiffLines:

** This can be chalked up to the fact that the animation team hadn't created Hordak's design yet at the time of ''Revelation'' and the prequel comics. It's also possible that Hordak used the Havoc Staff's influence to make himself look different in the false memories he implanted in Skeletor's mind.
