Randor's Royal Rumble!!! (MOTU Round 1: He-Man VS Skeletor)

[Mr. Shokoti]

RANDOR'S ROYAL RUMBLE RULES

* Pick a winner based on who you feel is more powerful, who you like better, or who has the best fashion sense. There is no wrong reason for why you picked who you picked.

* The Rumble will end after a week's time. The winner will be safe until their next Rumble. If there is a tie, I will call for a tie breaker. Once I do, the first character voted for in this thread is the winner.

* Each Round consists of 2 characters from an era/spinoff of this franchise(MOTU, POP, NA, 2002, MOTUC).

* Once the Round is over, I will post a Wildcard Match where each of the Rumble losers will be placed against each other. The winner will get a second chance & be safe until their next Rumble.



HE-MAN



VS

SKELETOR

[kylun flac]

The two are such iconic figures.
As much as I like He-Man he is rather bland. There has been so many barbaric bare chested loincloth wearing heroes similar to he-man.
Skeletor had some unique features. He has a skull for a head. blue & purple color scheme that just pops not to mention the leather look.
the two are very iconic in the way that both have very one sided values & powers. He-Man a strong moral compus for good & strong willed with great physical strength. Skeletor evil cunning as a strength, ruthless determination & manipulative calculation & great magical powers.

Heroic Warriors need a good smack down every now and again to keep them humble. I voted for the Overlord of Evil, Skeletor.

[NorthCoast]

You evil people that picked Skeletor! Didn't those Filmation cartoons teach you anything?!?

[Bri-Man]

"Don't you ever feel like doing something good?"
"Don't you ever feel like doing something evil?"

yea...i voted skeletor. i just love everything about him.

[flaming_knob]

clearly He~man. The story would have been a lot shorter if Skelly was better.

[Benedict Judas Hel]

Even though the result will be predictable I vote for Skeletor. He's more interesting visually and personality-wise. Besides, he would cheat and would have the rest of the Evil Warriors come to ringside and interfere in the match. While He-Man is busy whooping on Beast Man, Mer-Man, Tri-Klops and Trap Jaw, Evil-Lyn would come in from behind and blow some white powder into He-Man's face and kick him the crotch. Whereby Skeletor would take advantage of the situation and perform his finishing move, The Snake Mountain Slam! Royal Rumble winner!

[Mr. Shokoti]

I love Skeletor, but not only do I think He-Man would actually beat him in a fight, I'm picking Randor's son because of Filmation. In terms of design & his appearances in any other media, He-Man is a bore compared to Skeletor. John Erwin made him one of my favorite heroes of all time.

[Man-E-Toys]

^^^ one of my favorite episodes.

[TheFallen]

As I said in my Skeletor musing (shameless plug) I feel Skeletor is more iconic than He-Man so I voted for ol' Bonehead

[dedset13]

Skeletor gets my vote!!

I'm surprised the match-up is this close!!

[Akai]

When it comes to raw power I consider them equally strong since they hold the two halves of the Sword of He. Skeletor will be holding onto his purple sword until his final confrontation with He-Man. While He-Man fights fair and honorably, Skeletor on the other hand fights dirty so my vote goes to the Lord of Destruction.

[Uki]

I love them both and generally think Skeletor is a more interesting character, but I'm voting He-Man. Maybe it's the whole "about to be a Daddy" thing.

[Fighting Foe Man]

Its got to be He-Man. Skeletor has some seriously awesome magical abilities, but He-Man's physical, as well as inner strength is almost impossible to overcome.

[Scotward]

This is one of those questions that I will go back and forth on daily. But today, I'm going to go with He-Man.

[baronterror]

of course He-Man is the man, but Skeletor is probably what got me into this the most in the first place. My obsessive love for monsters and ghosts and stuff, and this guy had a skull head? Blew my mind as a kid.

[Mr. Shokoti]

HE-MAN WON!!!
