MOTUC Bios & Canon Discussion (updated as bios become available)

[zodak74]

Well, keep in mind, in classic He-Man tales, after a little misjudgement, villains often flipped over to the good side (Man-E-Faces and Fisto in Filmation, Ram Man in the mini-comics). Surely some of your Foe Men can be unfrozen, put to work by Hordak, and eventually see how the world has changed... thus eventually siding on the side of good

If that happens, then i'll take back everything bad I said about their bio.

You can edit Strobo's too. It's Zodac, not Zodak, who Strobo takes place as CE after Zodac is assassinated on Eternia.

[DVD]

Now that begs the question...who assassinates Zodac?? Cripes!

[Zargon]

Also it's Sherrilyn and Ditztroyer of the Fighting Foe Men

Here are the bios from NYTF. Val and Pixel Dan got good shots of them!

[Whiplash7]

I'm glad they upgraded Strobo's powers a little bit. His original 'strobe light' gimmick had him pretty much in "Legion of Substitute Heroes" territory. Now he can actually disintegrate those those that merely oppose his will!
Snake Face's is neat. I'm surprised they made no mention of him getting turned to stone.
The Foe Men's bio is great too.
Overall I like all the bios. Good stuff.

[Shokoti's Slave]

I like all the bios, but I too am surprised Snake Face being turned to stone was ignored. Perhaps that bit of MOTU continuity was nixed? I also like that his status in the Snake Men was upped. He appears to be something of a general just like Rattlor, if he was a second-in-command.

I would still like to know how Teela could be Queen *and* Guardian of Grayskull at the same time.

[vancak]

I quite like King He-Man's bio. It actually makes me want the figure.

[horseman1981]

I think the FFM is the best,then king heman.

The poor NA space mutants never get a fair shake.

[JafariStew]

I would have liked to have seen Snake Face's bio mention his defeat by Snake Armor He-Man reflecting his own power. Also he seemed more like a bodyguard to King Hiss than a commander, that was Rattlor's job. I like Strobo's bio, but not Zodac's assassination. It's like all of the Original 8-Back heroes are dead except He-man & Teela.

[MegaGearMax]

Bonehead mentioned Snake Face's rank in regard to Rattlor. I brought it up on Ask Matty.

I'm glad that Zodac bit the dust and not ZodaK. Maybe Ninjor killed him off.

[Mistico]

I would still like to know how Teela could be Queen *and* Guardian of Grayskull at the same time.

Probably the same way Queen Veena was also Guardian of Grayskull next to King D'Vann. My guess is (and I read this somewhere that it could be) King He-Man & Queen Teela rule from Grayskull and King SeaHawk and Queen Adora/She-Ra (unknown) rule from Eternos Palace. Even if not, that's how I'll run it in my mind & cannon.

[Mad Scientist]

I thought Rattlor was the 2nd in command. Did I miss something???

[Barnster]

Seems like SnakeMen instantly become Generals as soon as the Boss knows their name.

[hadley]

The last bit of King He-Man's bio doesn't seem to make much sense. "He married Teela, and together with their son Dare took over his father's legacy..." Is Dare taking over his father's (He-Man's) legacy? Or are He-Man, Teela, and Dare together taking over the legacy of He-Man? If that was the intention the thing is still written all wrong. I think they meant to say something more like this: "He married Teela, and together they raised their son Dare, who took over his father's legacy..." Or maybe "He married Teela, and together with their son Dare they protected Eternia. Dare took over his father's legacy..."

I dunno...clunky any way you slice it. The rest of the bios rule!

[wundarwarrior]

They still have not said how Gwildor dies have they? I think just saying he died without any details is kind of lame.s

I think it means they are taking over Randor's legacy.

Actually, after re-reading the whole thing, I do think the sentence is referring to He-Man. Definitely a clunky way of writing it.

[MrRoboto]

I'm not much of a bio person but i really didn't mind the King He-Man and Snake Face bios. The others weren't too bad either.

[Firefly]

He married Teela and together with their son Dare took over his father’s legacy as the new He-ro, defender of Eternia and the wielder of the Sword of Power.

I'm not sure what to make of it. It seems like a poorly worded sentence.

[Darkspecter]

I'm not sure what to make of it. It seems like a poorly worded sentence.

I'm pretty sure it's talking about He-Man passing the torch on to Dare (like the He-Ro: Son of He-Man bible talked about).

Also, I'm glad the sentence is fairly vague regarding Dare's parents. I hope He-Man and Teela are still his ADOPTED parents and Sea Hawk and Adora are his birth parents.

[Vikor]

"Snake Face slithers after his enemies, then turns him to stone!" Huh? You mean "turns THEM to stone".

[Snake Hunter]

I would still like to know how Teela could be Queen *and* Guardian of Grayskull at the same time.

Another continuity inconsistence. Boring bios...

If you don´t mind a group of evil pirates (and also engineers in the Eternian University) created vehicles 5000 years ago that in He-Mans era are the main vehicles...

In 100 years cars have changed a lot...

Yeah, they don't strike me as all bad. They lived in Preternia, those were very rough chaotic times.

I think I will display my Gar Foe Man with Shokoti & other Preternia solo villains. the other 2 FFM will belong with the Preternia heroes. even though they battled Vikor. They are still good, just in the middle. in chaotic times you got to do what you must to survive. maybe the FFM made some wrong choices.
