Masters of the Universe Magazine Issue #25  

The Scroll of Scrollos on the opening page makes yet another lame attempt at advertising the She-Ra comic- which was clearly selling very poorly, as the MOTU comic just wouldn't give up trying to advertise it. It advertises the issue which was to be the last, but gives no indication of this, suggesting that the comic was discontinued abruptly.

Orko the Magician
This issue's strip features Orko trying to make a big stone disappear.

Feature Story 1: "The Slave of Skeletor, part 1"
First part of another 2-part story. A criminal called Barton is being chased through space by the interplanetary lawmen. Skeletor is curious, and brings Barton's ship down to Eternia, and forces Barton to tell hima bout his inventions. Barton reveals that he has a machine which will make people obey every word the holder says. Skeletor steals the device, intending to use it on He-Man. Skeletor sends Stinkor towards He-Man, and Stinkor overpowers him with his stench. He-Man recovers and follows Stinkor, but runs right into Skeletor's trap, and finds himself under the control of the mind machine! (Cont'd in part 2)

Master Mind
Instead of the letters page, this issue features 10 MOTU trivia questions.

Feature Story 2: "The Slave of Skeletor, part 2"
Skeletor takes He-Man back to Snake Mountain, and shows his warriors how He-Man will now do anything he says. But Battle Cat runs back to Eternos, and tells Sy-Klone, Fisto and Stonedar what has happened. They set out to find Skeletor and He-Man, and find Skeletor attempting to make He-Man destroy himself with his sword. He makes He-Man fire a bolt of power at himself, but the bolt of power instead restores He-Man's mind. Skeletor quickly uses the device to cloud He-Man's mind again, and he sets him towards the warriors- but having seen what happened, Fisto develops a cunning plan. He makes the warriors pretend to retreat, and hide in the Crystal Valley. He-Man comes towards them, and Fisto tricks He-Man into firing a blast at the crystal- which deflects the bolt back on He-Man, restoring his mind. He-Man makes Skeletor and his warriors flee, and Skeletor retreats to Snake Mountain, where he says he plans to use the device again. (Unfortunately, he never did, at least to our knowledge.)

Feature Story 3: "Super Trooper"
Hordak invents a new trooper which is invincible, and cannot be damaged by any force- and also has an incredible computer brain. He sets the trooper on He-Man, and the two battle. He-Man seems to stand no chance against the trooper's strength and power. But then he thinks up a cunning plan, and asks the trooper a question which its computer brain is confused by. The trooper begins to malfunction, and He-Man hurls it out into space.

(He-Man turning evil, and an indestructible Horde Trooper- What more could you ask for?! A classic issue.)
