Despite this, Beast Man admitted it was 'nice to be home.' īeast Man used Shadow Beasts as his primary henchmen, as they followed his orders without the need for mind control. Although he succeeded in capturing the king, when He-Man came to the rescue he was subjected to Skeletor's wrath one more time and admitted back into his ranks purely because Skeletor needed someone on which to vent his fury. A bitter Beast Man, feeling useless without the power of Snake Mountain behind him, set out to prove his worth by capturing King Randor on his own and bringing him to Snake Mountain. One one occasion, Beast Man was banished from Snake Mountain by Skeletor, who had grown weary of his constant failures. Over time, he became more bumbling and comedic. Beast Man resented being bossed around by Skeletor, but lacked the courage to stand up to him. While he did possess a certain cunning, his talents were often unappreciated by Skeletor, who frequently made Beast Man the main object of his wrath frequently blaming him when a scheme failed. He was also seen commanding an army of Beastmen from the same tribe as himself.īeast Man was the henchman most often at Skeletor's side he had the power to telepathically control most of the beasts and animals on Eternia. He was very loyal to Skeletor, even offering to pummel Mer-Man, whom he considered a coward.

He was a ferocious man-beast who could summon most of the wild creatures of Eternia to aid in Skeletor's schemes.ĭC Comics (1982) Main article: Beast Man (DC Comics) History Mini-comics (1982-1987) Main article: Beast Man (early minicomics)īeast Man as he appeared in the early mini comics.īeast Man was Skeletor's closest and most loyal follower in the then quite small band of Evil Warriors. 1.5 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002).
