      Storyline

      Edit
      • Trivia
        Tom Tataranowicz based the idea of He-Man throwing the Sword of Power into the abyss on a Prince Valiant comic in which Valiant threw away his singing sword. Originally he wanted He-Man to actually kill an innocent bystander by accident, but his idea was deemed too extreme and had to be toned down.
      • Quotes

        He-Man: Orko, when I first became He-Man, I swore to uphold that which was right, and to protect the innocent. Accident or not, today I broke that promise.
