Catra's Bio revealed!

**Larry Waters** · March 19, 2011, 01:37pm

I'm not buying it guys...

The bios don't lie to the reader.

Only 3 people know Adam is He-Man.

Only a couple knew Adora's origin.

WHY would the bio call Adam what he is and call Adora what she isn't? This isn't KAYFABE!!!

There's no way I'm buying it as intentional.

So she was a disputed monarch...Catra isn't the rightful ruler of D’riluth III. I guess D’riluth III is a planet or moon in the Tri-Solar Galaxy.

Another question I have is how are the Horde linked to the Tri-Solar Galaxy? Did they rule it once?

Well, we do know from Optikk's bio, after Skeletor defeats Hordak, he set's off to the Tri-Solar Ststem, with help from the Space Mutants, to defeat the Horde Empire. Hello people, it's a solar system. It's not so far fetched that the Horde Empire could be stationed somewhere in that solar system.

**Balthus Dire** · March 19, 2011, 01:41pm

The age thing doesn't bother me a whole lot, as I can suspend disbelief considering they're all powerful sorcerors and there could be many "magical" explanations. We're talking about a universe with snake men and dudes with giant eyeballs for heads, after all.

The step-daughter thing seems like a glaring mistake to me, though. Like Skeletortilla said, that's probably what Hordak would call Adora to keep her under his spell, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to put it in the bio as if it's canon.

**grenadaspice** · March 19, 2011, 01:48pm

Hey, like I mentioned in the C2E2 tread, in the Filmation toon, Shadow Weaver was responsible for keeping Adora under the spell of the Horde so that she didn`t find out her true identity or destiny and SW was a mother figure to Adora. Maybe when Shadow Weaver is released, they`ll say the spell she had on Adora under made Adora think that SW was her real mother and that Hordak was seen as her step daddy. Who knows...

I'm certain of it...it only makes sense. Remember, Adora had no idea of her lineage at all until Adam showed up and revealed to her her true identitiy and destiny.

Also, Adora was under the impression that the Horde were the good guys. Hordak probably told her he "saved" her from her wicked stepmother, or better yet that her real mother was killed by rebels.

This is all speculation of course, but Hordak did raise the girl after all...he had to have told her something when she asked about her parentage.
Who knows...in some twisted way, he may have actually loved her like a daughter.

Well, I'm not the guy to ask since I'm complaining about it

. But if you insist: "It was an accidental property of the specific portal that sent the Horde army to Despondos, caused by King Grayskull's interference. Later portals, like the one via which Skeletor sent baby Adora to Etheria, do not have this property."

Bow's bio mentioned that the Horde were ageless. Maybe immortality is a perk when you earn your bat symbol?

I know the Horde rules other worlds...it's just that we haven't seen any Horde represented in New Adventures, since NA originally took place in the far future.

**DarkLiger** · March 19, 2011, 01:57pm

In this bio defense it is possible that Hordak told everyone that Adora was his step daughter to hide where she really came from.

**Larry Waters** · March 19, 2011, 01:59pm

It doesn't make sense that the Bio tells us a lie that Hordak told Adora as FACT.

The Bios, to this point, haven't done this with ANY OTHER STORY ELEMENT.

Using "step-daughter" would have worked better.

Not necessarily. There are a lot of ancient beings in this line, from Zodac, Zodak, Moss Man, the Goddess, and the Snake Men. With MM and the Goddess, you can say they`re deities. I`d say that maybe the Snake Men being sucked up in the Void had the same properties as the portal used to send the Horde to Despondos, but the Hssss was ruling Eternia for centuries before Grayskull went up against him. And, you could say that Zodak was granted immortality when he became a Cosmic Enforcer, but how do you explain Zodak. Yeah, he`s a mystic, but still...

He had to tell her something!

Can you imagine the awkward questions from a young Adora?

"Um, daddy? How's come I'm blonde and cute, and you have a pasty white pig-bat face?"

**gbagok** · March 19, 2011, 02:05pm

I don't dislike this one actually. I'm not sure why the connection to the Tri-Star System other than to tie in the NA more, but that is very unexpected. I'm assuming she's from the Preternia version of the Tri-Star system though since she's from the distant past. I'd rather she'd been tied to Etheria, and I'm surprised they didn't try to use the name Purrsia in there somewhere too. Anyway, nice job, I hope she can make cat warriors with those "secret powers" the mask gives her too!

I'm not really that bothered about the "step daughter" description either. It sounds plausible to me that he called her that. Adopted seems just as valid, but I wouldn't quibble over that.

This further enforces my point that these bios are being written by MORONS!

Sadly, it's not even like that. Between zillion reverse shoulders issue and bio's being written by someone who seems to disdain the collection, it enforces the point that Mattel don't really care about this line nor its fans.

**Judeh Simon** · March 19, 2011, 02:06pm

Yep, still ignoring these silly bios.

How the heck did Adora age when nobody else did???

Well, the NA aspect is not set in the far future anymore (thank goodness) and we know Skelteor went into space to take on the Horde Empire, based on Opitkk`s bio, so at least we can say that the Horde`s presence in the Tri-Solar System was establised since May 2010. However, are we 100% sure that the Tri-Solar System and the Tri Star System are one in the same. It`s funny how everyone is up in arms with the term step-daughter instead of adopted daughter, yet no one is batting an eye at the difference between Solar and Star...lol

I would think that he would just call Adora his daughter. The only way that she becomes a step-daughter is if Hordak married her mother. Saving her from her "evil" mother would just make Adora his adopted daughter.

As far as looks, it's no different than Randor and Keldor being brothers.

**Romer** · March 19, 2011, 02:09pm

As usual, terrible bio

No one cares about New Adventures enough to dispute that.

**grenadaspice** · March 19, 2011, 02:14pm

Funny, because I don`t care enough about She-Ra to dispute her daughter-relationship to Hordak either lol. Not to get so morbid, but he ain`t her real daddy, so who knows what really went on in the Fright Zone, when things go bump in the night, when she was an adult, of course...

They already changed "Galactic Guardians" to "Galactic Protectors of Primus", which was a bigger change. [Besides, "Solar" didn't make a lick of sense, since that relates specifically to the star Sol - Earth's Sun - not to stars in general.]

That too

**Penny Dreadful** · March 19, 2011, 02:17pm

New Adventures connection? Preternia? Um, nah. Not a fan of those ideas.

Let me get this straight - it took 5000 years for Catra to finally get promoted to Force Captain? Meanwhile, Princess Adora gets to be Force Captain at, what, 18? Jeez, no wonder Catra is jealous.

Catra can be a fascinating character - she is fierce and cunning but rife with insecurities. She desperately craves approval from Hordak, who clearly favors the hated Adora. There is lots of potential which could have been handled well in the hands of a more skilled writer.

On the plus side, there was no use of the word "techno" in this bio.

Well, they called it the Tri-Solar System in Optikk`s bio.
