Randor: I guess that's why you called it the "Evil" Horde. Ah ha ha ha!

Hordak: Ha ha ha! It wasn't actually my idea.

Randor: Ha-ha-HA! Well, that's why it's clever!

Hordak: Ha-HA! Fuck you.

He's getting the love and support he was craving for…

Gandfather Mrio: What’s a lesbian?

I've been thinking about this and it seems the obvious implication is that this is the first family portrait they've had taken since Adora (or this show's equivalent given the rights issues) went missing. That's why everyone looks so tense and dour. The empty space was done on purpose to show that the family isn't whole, and out of universe also serves to visually separate Keldor from the rest of the family, foreshadowing his attempted coup.

I also have a headcanon that Adora was Keldor's favorite, and that her kidnapping contributed to his feeling Randor wasn't a fit ruler. This would never have happened if HE was in charge! That's neither here nor there, though.

I had this musing for an AU for Prince Keldor where he has Henry VIII type problems like the wife gives birth to like, four daughters, and King Miro just gives up waiting and makes Randor his successor.

Stuff like this occurs to me because I'm really interested in how tweaking a variable or two affects subsequent happenings like ripples in a pond.

Does Keldor turn into an abusive tyrant like Henry VIII before vanishing to become Skeletor or does he remain kind to his wife until he disappears?

Just stuff I think about when I'm bored.

Here's King Randor and Queen Marlena.

I've stated before that I prefer the Keldor backstory for Skeletor, and well, that includes his half-brother Randor here. I like the idea of them being close when they were young, but crud happened that drove a wedge between them. Randor does try to be a better king for his people than what they had throughout Eternia's history (since in this AU... the Grayskull line kinda went downhill after that one king getting drunk on Havoc).

And I like Marlena's story of being an Earth astronaut that crash-landed on Eternia, one thing led to another, and now she's queen. It took a bit of adjusting for her to really appreciate Eternia, because sometimes the homesickness can hit you hard, but she does love her family and new home.

He-Man art by Esteban Maroto

Like Alfredo Alcala and Earl Norem before him, Maroto was offered work by Mattel on the basis of his Conan illustrations.

This one was reused in the opening of Masters of the Univese Revelation.

In the next two, we see Hordak, Grizzlor and other 1985 characters:

This next one features Hurricane Hordak, the Fright Fighter and Viper Tower from ‘86:

Teela with the Power Sword! And 87-style King Randor on a throne that would be more on-brand for King Hiss:

And one more that must be from ‘87.

Grayskull Worlds project plan: Masters of the Universe (Vol. 1)

This series is not an assured project. It is a concept that can still be changed or scrapped.

Synopsis

For five years, Prince Adam has defended Eternia as He-Man. He and the Masters of the Universe have faced the Evil Warriors more times than they can. Count. Now, things have changed. A new evil has risen that is terrorizing the land. It will not stop until all has been paralyzed in time by fear.

Characters

Adam Hodeskalle/He-Man - The hero of Eternia and the prince. He has spent years fighting Skeletor and the Evil Warriors.

Teela Falkefødt - The love-interest of Adam and an ally of He-Man. Due to her secretive relationship to the Sorceress of Grayskull, she has some skill in magic.

The Sorceress - The guardian of Castle Grayskull.

Duncan Falkefødt/Man-At-Arms - The head of Eternia's defenses and father of Teela.

Orko - The sorcerer of King Randor's court and ally of He-Man. He was banished from this dimension of Trolla for clumsiness.

Roboto - An ancient Horde robot reprogrammed by Duncan to serve Eternia and be an ally of He-Man.

King Randor Hodeskalle - The ruler of Eternia and father of Prince Adam.

Keldor Hodeskalle/Skeletor - The brother of King Randor, uncle of Prince Adam, and leader of the Evil Warriors. A magical accident scared his face, which he conceals in a metallic skull. He was banished after kidnapping Princess Adora. For the last few years, he has been the main adversary of He-Man.

Despara Kur/Evelyn/Evil-Lyn - The daughter of Hordak who was traded for Adora as a baby. She was partially raised by Skeletor in his banishment. She was an outcast because of her white skin, white hair, and magenta eyes. In solitude, she taught herself magic. She is now the sorceress of Snake Mountain.

R'Qazz/Beast Man - A loyal general of Skeletor from the wildlands and friend of Evil-Lyn.

Skorn Blyte/Scary Glow - A mysterious wanderer from the farmlands. He studied dark powers and lost his soul to them, becoming a lich. He feeds off fear, turning his victims to stone. He appears as a green skeleton engolfed in black fire and he wears the robes of a monk and a tattered purple cloak. His halberd is cursed like him. His mission is to destroy Skeletor and the royal bloodline.

Other Information

Skeletor's scarred white face is inspired by his appearance in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe.

Skeletor's metallic skull mask that hides his face is inspired by the Marvel Comics character Taskmaster.

Scare Glow's appearance is inspired by the DC Comic character Blight and the Marvel Comics characters Ghost Rider and Doctor Strange.

Scare Glow's voice is whisper soft, monotoned, and with a hint of depression and despair.

Evil-Lyn is the daughter of Hordak and Entrapta.

[capndragn94]

Randor is extremely overprotective of Catra, Adora, and Finn. This is due to him believing he failed his brother Keldor, who was half-gar and faced discrimination for it, by not standing up for him. He overcompensates by going off on anyone who questions Catra and Adora's relationship or Finn's legitimacy in the royal family.
