The Prince of Eternia, Adam was chosen by the guardian of Grayskull, the Sorceress to bear the awesome power of Zoar, the first Light, and become He-man, the most powerful man, in all the Universe! A defender of truth, justice, and the people of Eternia. Gifted with a magical sword, built as a conduit to the power, Adam can change forms whenever he feels and keeps his identity a secret from his parents, the King and Queen. Though looked down on by his father, believed to be a lazy philandering prince, Adam keeps the charade because he knows that anyone who knows his power would be at risk. His secret is protected by The Sorceress, Man-at-arms, and the Trolan jester Orko.
