This is my least favorite of the MOTUC mini-comics to date. I'm tired of the "tragic villain" storyline that has been so prevalent lately. Don't ask me to empathize over a villain who does bad things. "Poor Dracula, poor Darth Vader, poor Skeletor, they had such hard lives that drove them to do bad things."
I'll stick to Skeletor's origin from the original mini comic "He-Man and the Power Sword" where he comes from another dimension and wants to bring his people to Eternia to conquer it.

Read the story here for yourself.

Skeletor is portrayed more as a mad magical genius than brooding royalty. I imagine this other dimension that he hails from is populated with Gar...Skeletor is the only one with a skull face. I imagine he got that face when he was "thrown into this world." So if you too like this story but are still looking for his motives, how about getting sucked into another dimension against your will and having your face ripped off in the process? That would make anyone a little mad. :skwink:
