He-Man and ****n connection
According to various sources, Masters of the Universe was originally intended to be a ****n toyline, until Mattel saw the adult content of the ****n property, including the huge amounts of sex, nudity, blood, and violence. They decided therefore to devise a different toy line based around a similar concept, but more suitable for a younger audience, and the Masters of the Universe line was gradually born. It has often been speculated, although never confirmed, that the character of Skeletor was based on the villain Thulsa Doom from the ****n comics.
However, Roger Sweet, who claims to be the designer of the original He-Man action figure, denies this direct connection, claiming that in fact, He-Man was created as an attempt by Mattel to get on to the action figure market. Three prototypes were built on an over-muscled version of Mattel's previous and failed male action hero Big Jim: a spaceman, a military hero, and a barbarian.
Mattel's president hand-picked the barbarian in a business meeting, saying "these have the power", thus unknowingly coming up with He-Man's catchphrase. The line was green-lighted and writers were hired to create a story based on the character. So, creators claim that while ****n was certainly an inspiration, He-Man is not a direct rip-off.
