This
comic, the first of the five DC Comics' Masters of the
Universe series, introduces Prince Adam as a brawling,
womanizing youth and Teela as the newest member of the
Royal Guard. Prince Adam is at a tavern with Cringer
when a huge man approaches him, picking a fight. Adam
readily accepts this challenge, but Teela breaks it
up before it gets good. Hearing the cry of the falcon,
Adam and Cringer bolt off to the Cave of Power, where
they meet with the Sorceress in her snake outfit and
become He-Man and Battle Cat. Meanwhile, Skeletor inadvertantly
causes a dimensional rift between Earth and Eternia
while trying to open Grayskull, and Superman is sucked
through. Superman ends up taking on Skeletor and Beast
Man until He-Man, Battle Cat, and Man-At-Arms arrive,
where Skeletor then puts a spell on Superman to fight
with He-Man. Superman barely disables He-Man temporarily,
then stops Skeletor. Afterward, Supes returns to Earth
via a space warp.
As a side note, it turns out Adam had already heard
about Superman because his mother had mentioned him
many times before in telling him about Earth.
