As the theme tune suggests, He-Man is the Prince of Eternia. He defends Castle Greyskull with his friends Man-At-Arms, The Sorceress and Orko, and his twin sister is, of course, She-Ra! When he's not being the red-haired He-Man, he is the blonde Adam - softly spoken, sweet and charming, and a good friend of Teela. Adam owns a power sword, and by raising it and proclaiming "I have the power!" his transformation into He-Man occurs, alongside his pet tiger Cringer, transforming into the fearless Battlecat. Together they fight the evil Skeletor and his minions Beast Man, Mer-Man and Evil-Lyn.

He-Man lyrics:

HE-MAN!
And the Masters of the Universe.
I am Adam, Prince of Eternia, defender of the secrets of Castle Greyskull.
This is Cringer, my fearless friend.
Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic
sword and said:
"By the power of Greyskull"
HE-MAN!
"I have the power!"
Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat.
And I became He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe.
Only three others share this secret.
Our friends the Sorceress, Man at Arms and Orko.
Together we defend Castle Greyskull from the evil forces of Skeletor.
HE-MAN!
