* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: Mumm-Ra quickly identifies Prince Adam as He-Man, pretends to be the Sorceress to gain his trust, and immediately and literally stabs him in the back. He not only kills He-Man, he does it easily.]]

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: The Ancient Spirits of Evil have betrayed Mumm-Ra to Skeletor for his numerous failures, yet the first issue of this story shows Mumm-Ra being more effective and successful than he has ''ever'' been, starting off with him ''murdering'' He-Man and taking the Sword of Power while causing calamities on two worlds. It's especially ironic that they betray him to ''Skeletor'' whose own track record prior to the story isn't really any better than Mumm-Ra's, and he needs help from the Ancient Spirits and Mumm-Ra himself to achieve anything in this story too.

** [[spoiler: Skeletor thinks he has vanquished Mumm-Ra forever, but Mumm-Ra not only returns but informs Skeletor that as long as evil exists, he literally cannot die and will ''always'' come back from death.]]



* EvilCounterpart: Mumm-Ra could be considered one to The Sorceress, to the point of actually disguising himself as her at one point. Both are bound to a mystical building (The Black Pyramid and Castle Grayskull, respectively) where most of their power derives from and from which they can't leave for more than a short time; The Sorceress has vowed to protect the world of Eternia while Mumm-Ra is the destroyer and ''de facto'' ruler of a desolated Third Earth; The Sorceress provides Prince Adam with a powerful magical sword to make him a hero, while Mumm-Ra is constantly trying to steal the Sword of Omens from Lion-O (and actually steals He-Man's Power Sword specifically to match it) etc

* WrongGenreSavvy: The Sorceress says that Skeletor and Mumm-Ra will never become allies because evil cannot share. She quickly has to admit this was just wishful thinking once they actually do join forces.

** Issue #3 has [[spoiler: Thundercats defeat Skeletor and take Sword of Power from him and race to deliver it back to wounded Prince Adam. Meanwhile, Skeletor ends trapped with Mumm-Ra in one body, with the Sorceress hoping they'll be fighting over control forever. Then it turns out the Thundercats arrived too late and Adam had passed away.

* KickTheDog: A cat actually. Which Mumm-Ra does when stops [[spoiler: finishing off Prince Adam]] to punch Cringer, just because he hates cats. Skeletor gets his moment when he electrocutes Snarf.

* PlanetaryRelocation: In order to acquire the Sword of Power from He-Man for his masters, Mumm-Ra uses his magic to move Third Earth out of its orbit and into Eternia's. No mean fear considering the latter planet is in an entirely other dimension. Even Skeletor, who's narrating the events, finds this impressive.

Two pages later, Vultureman starts giving orders to Trap Jaw and Tri-Klops, and they complain they never would have taken this job if they'd known the Mutants would be so bossy.

Then, finding He-Man's might to be light years beyond his own, he calls upon the Sword of Omens to give him "Strength Beyond Strength", briefly making him He-Man's physical ''equal''.]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: Man-At-Arms and Panthro develop into this, to the point that when the former attempts a HeroicSacrifice and later risks his life to save him, neither stops bickering.
