He-Man

And the masters of the universe.

| am Adam,

Prince of Eternia and defender of the secrets

of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer, my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me

the day | held aloft my magic sword

and said, "By the power of Grayskull..."

He-Man

"...1 have the power!"

Cringer became the mighty Battle Cat

and | 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 Grayskull

from the evil forces of Skeletor.

He-Man

Get him, Cringer. Show him who's boss.

Now, this is my kind of chase.

And hat's how He-Man drove back the sand demons

and single-handedly saved the village of Cafene.

Ooh, how | wish | could've seen it with my own eyes.

Yeah, yeah.

Is something bothering you, Farin?

It's like you're always talking about He-Man.

Well, of course. Isn't that natural?

Oh, | wish | knew more about him, where he's from...

What does he do when he's not helping people?

You know, no one ever sees him when there's not an emergency.

Why, he could disguise himself and walk among us.

He could be here right now, and we'd never know it.

Yeah, sure. Whoopee.

Oh, why, Farin, you're jealous.

No, I'm not.

But would you like me better if | was He-Man?

That settles it.

You're jealous, all right, not to mention silly.

Now, go and get us some water from the river.

Maybe it'll just cool you off.

And stop comparing yourself to He-Man.

You can't hope to compete with him.

| know. That's the problem.

Come on, Ommy.

Hey, where'd you go?

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

Oh, yeah? Now I'll get you.

Uh-oh!

Say, it looks like a nest.

| wonder what kind?

A lyrebird? A corduck?

A... Yike! A Shrieker!

Well, | guess it's about time we got back to the palace.

Where's Cringer? | don't know.

He's been gone a long time. | hope he didn't go wandering in the forest.

Adam!

He did go wandering in the forest.

Shrieker!

That girl! Quick! Go get help! I'll try to hold it off.

Couple of warning blasts ought to distract it.

Come on!

Why don't you pick on someone your own size for a change?

Hi. I'm Orko. Don't worry. Everything will be all right.

Yipe!

See? Like | said, nothing to worry about.

Well, this should be far enough.

By the power of Grayskull...

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

...| have the power!

He-Man

Oh, no! A Shrieker! Karil!

- Looks like this is it. - Not quite, Teela.

Yay! He-Man!

Wow! Did you see that, Ommy?

| Know you were just protecting your nest,

but let's be reasonable, huh?

He-Man's steering the shrieker away!

I'd better follow him.

Oh, he's fantastic!

Too bad more people can't be like He-Man.

She means me, you know.

But wait a minute. Karil wondered

if He-Man might also be someone else.

So there's no reason that | can't be He-Man,

or at least no reason why | can't let Karil think I'm He-Man.

Come on, Ommy. | have a great idea.

Ready, Cat?

Ready, He-Man!

Good work.

By the time it gets back to its nest,

it'll have calmed down enough

to go back into hibernation.

Now let's get back to the palace.

He-Man

So you're new here, eh? Well, you'll soon get used to it.

This is where we keep some of the most dangerous criminals in all of Eternia.

Mangor the Horrible,

Quix the Shapechanger.

Who is in here?

His name is Galen Nycroft.

A scientist. At least, that's what he used to be,

till he tried to take over Eternia

with a mind control machine he invented.

He was caught, tried and convicted.

Is he dangerous? Well, no, not as long

as you keep him away from those test tubes.

| wouldn't bet on that if | were you, friend.

Big talk. Come on.

I'll introduce you to the rest of the guests.

Big talk, eh? We'll see about that.

Ah. The last piece of equipment | needed.

There. A few more adjustments, and with this machine,

| will become the most powerful force for evil

in all of Eternia.

He-Man

Farin! Farin, where are you?

Over here.

It's about time. You missed all the excitement.

He-Man was here. Ohl!

Where have you been all this time, anyway?

| got lost.

But you've been in and out of that forest for years.

| thought you knew it like that back of your...

Karil! Farin!

Dad, what is it? What's wrong?

We've got to get out of here. There's a Dragosaur in the Crystal Cave.

A Dragosaur? Here? Did you see it?

No, but you can hear it from a mile away.

Come on! Let's go!

Uh, you two go on ahead.

| got some things to do. Bye.

Farin? Farin, where are you going?

Hmm. Something's going on here.

I'd better follow him.

He-Man

Oh, boy, am | glad to be home.

I'm starving! Mmm.

| think I'll get myself some lunch

and some dinner.

Some supper. Maybe an early breakfast.

Hey, what's the hurry?

There's word of a Dragosaur hiding in the Crystal Caves.

| have to tell the king.

Hmm. No time to look for Cringer.

He-Man

He-Man

By the power of Grayskull...

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man

...| have the power!

He-Man

Crystal Caves, here | come.

There. Now I'll show them all

that they can't push Modulok around.

He-Man

Funny. That doesn't sound like

any Dragosaur | ever heard.

Strange. | don't see anything.

| wonder what's down this way.

He-Man's inside. Now to make Karil think

| turned into He-Man.

Farin! No! Don't! The Dragosaur!

Part one completed, Ommy. Now for part two.

Nothing. Hmm.

There's something funny going on here,

and | intend to find out what.

He-Man. But where's Farin?

| just saw him go inside.

Oh, my!

He-Man, he turned into Farin!

| mean, Farin turned into He-Man!

Oh. I... Oh, | mean... Oh!

| was right! He-Man does have another identity.

Farin is He-Man!

He-Man

But why can't | join your gang?

Because you were a wimp scientist,

and you could be a wimp villain!

Prove to me what you can do.

Then we'll discuss letting you join up.

There must be some way

| can prove myself to Skeletor.

Well, do you admit it or not?

Admit what?

That you are He-Man. What's this?

Look. You go for some water,

and suddenly He-Man appears to fight the Shrieker.

You go into a cave, and He-Man comes out.

Hmm. A secret identity for He-Man.

| never thought of that before.

Is it possible?

So, admit it.

You're secretly He-Man, aren't you?

All right. | admit it. | am He-Man.

That is, | turn into He-Man when there's trouble.

But you must keep my secret.

Uh, so what do you think of me now that you know?

I'll tell you what | think.

| think that you are my prisoner.

Quick, Karil! Get help! Hurry!

I'll let her go only because

there's nothing she or anyone can do

as long as | have

the mighty He-Man at my mercy.

But you don't understand!

| must speak to the royal family!

I'm sorry, but without permission...

Uh, guard, she has permission.

- I'll talk to her. - Oh, yes, Your Highness.

Now, what can | do for you?

It's He-Man! He's in terrible trouble.

Oh? What makes you say that?

| know he's in trouble because I...

Because | know who He-Man really is.

Uh-oh!

What do you mean, "Who he really is"?

He told me his secret identity.

Who did? He-Man.

Well, naturally he wasn't He-Man when he told me.

He only turns into He-Man when there's trouble.

Who does?

Well if there is anyone | can trust,

it would be the royal family, right?

He-Man is really Farin, my boyfriend.

He'd just told me his secret, when a terrible man

with all these arms and legs captured him.

Galen Nycroft. he escaped earlier today.

Now calls himself Modulok.

Can you help him?

Uh, not personally. But | think | know someone who can.

Wait here.

Gosh, Adam, what are we gonna do?

It's obvious that Modulok wants He-Man,

so we're going to give him what he wants.

Why do | bother to ask anymore?

By the power of Grayskull...

He-Man

He-Man

He-Man! | mean, Farin. You escaped!

I'm afraid not. Adam told me the whole story.

| think your friend Farin is in a lot of trouble.

He-Man

You will pay dearly

for your lack of cooperation, Farin,

if you don't turn into He-Man soon.

Look, you don't understand.

Silence!

You think | can't turn you over to Skeletor as proof

that | am worthy unless you turn into He-Man?

Well, you're wrong.

You will turn into He-Man.

And those energy cuffs will prevent you

from taking any action against me.

Yes, | will force you to become He-Man.

And believe me, you won't like it!

How am | ever going to get out of this?

Ommy, am | glad to see you.

You've got to get help. Get He-Man.

No, no, not me.

| mean the real He-Man! Hurry!

That's it, Ommy. Go!

The door. Now's my chance.

Uh-oh.

Welcome, He-Man.

So good of you to come.

| found this little playmate for you.

He shouldn't be too hard for you to handle.

But you'll have to turn into He-Man to do it.

But you've made a mistake. I'm not He-Man.

Yes, you are. | heard you admit it yourself.

Besides, | don't make mistakes.

He-Man

This is it. This is the last place | saw Farin.

The question is, where is he now?

It's Ommy, Farin's omaran!

Maybe he knows where Modulok is keeping Farin.

I'm afraid that's a little too small for us Ommy.

Is there any other way in?

But how will we get to Farin?

| don't suppose we could just talk this over.

Didn't think so.

You're just stalling. There's no escape.

You'd better change.

| can't join Skeletor's gang

until I've delivered He-Man, and | will.

Come on! You can do it!

| want He-Man!

You want He-Man, you've got him.

But | don't understand.

You... | mean, he... I...

See? | told you | wasn't He-Man.

Silence. It doesn't matter.

Skeletor wants He-Man,

and he is going to have He-Man.

Grabber, grab him,

and I'll put the energy cuffs on him.

Careful, He-Man. He's strong.

Don't worry, Farin. Strength isn't everything.

But it's a good place to start. Get him!

Not me, you fool. Him!

Okay, Grabber, this won't hurt a bit.

| can't look!

No! That's not fair.

He was stronger than you, bigger than you.

He would've beaten you.

And that's why you lose, Modulok.

Because brains and skill

will always overcome brute strength, every time.

When you were a scientist, you used to know that.

| still do, He-Man.

I'm still too smart for the likes of you.

My jet throne will take me far from here

before you can do anything to stop me.

He's getting away on those tracks!

Quick, Ommy, switch the tracks!

Oh! That rotten animal switched the tracks!

| can take being beaten by He-Man.

| can even take being beaten by that boy.

But you?

| can't stand it!

He-Man

As soon as we get back to the palace,

we'll send the Royal Guard back to pick up Modulok.

But this time, we'll make sure he's in a more secure cell.

I'll just be happy to get home.

Me too.

Wait'll | tell everyone that | helped He-Man beat Modulok.

Well, maybe | helped a little.

Farin?

All right, all right. | get the point.

| was the one who had to be helped.

No more pretending. That's right.

You don't have to pretend you're something you're not

just to be appreciated, Farin.

A lot of people like you just as you are,

and that includes me.

Really? Really.

So stop being He-Man. Just be yourself.

Yeah, and | guess it really doesn't matter

who He-Man is when he isn't being He-Man,

as long as he's here when we need him.

Today Farin learned a valuable lesson

about the difference between pretending and lying.

Everyone likes to pretend,

but when you start pretending like Farin did,

that's lying, and sooner or later

lies have a way of catching up with you.

Eventually, no one will believe you,

even though you're telling the truth.

So remember, tell the truth and be yourself.

Oh, good. Does that mean

| don't have to be Battle Cat anymore?

No, Cringe. Sorry. See ya next time.
