8 (Every) Origins Of He-Man's Power Sword — Right From Mini Comics To The Latest He-Man Movie

In some of the most well-known franchises from fiction history, a hero’s weapon is one of the core ingredients to them having such a super persona. Link has the Master Sword. King Arthur has Excalibur. And Thor has Mjolnir - to a few of the most popular examples. Once the design for these weapons is locked in, they barely go through too many drastic changes over time. But you see, there was one such superhero who never got that memo. It is none other than He-Man, who wields his Power Sword. From its very first appearance in a 1982 mini comic packed inside a toy box, it has gone through all sorts of revamping and reforging, from getting split in half, to having it taken to space, to even getting it dragged through two realms of the underworld. The Power Sword has faced a redesign in almost every decade. Each version of the sword tells you exactly what the people making He-Man at that moment thought the character needed to be. And this piece of history of the He-Man franchise being told through one single weapon is what today’s video will be focusing on. So without any further ado, let’s go through every single variant of the Power Sword.
