The Rebellion
The Great Rebellion is a faction on Etheria that fights the occupation of Etheria by the Horde. While Bright Moon is their capital, the Whispering Woods serves as their base of operation. Among its members are:
Key Members
She-Ra is introduced in the animated film The Secret of the Sword as Force Captain Adora, who was an agent of the Evil Horde that rules the planet Etheria. She discovers that she is the long-lost twin sister of Prince Adam (aka He-Man) and the princess of Eternia, having been stolen by the Horde's leader, Hordak, as a baby. She is granted the Sword of Protection, which parallels He-Man's Sword of Power, gaining the power to transform into She-Ra.
In the 2018 series, a teenaged Adora is portrayed as the current holder of the She-Ra title with her identity public knowledge compared to the 1985 series. She gets together with Catra in the series finale.
She-Ra and Princess Adora are voiced by Melendy Britt in the 1980s series and by Aimee Carrero in the 2018 series.
Spirit is the horse of Adora, serving as her steed Swift Wind. Noble and brave, he has a mate named Starwind and they have a young colt. His transformation gives him the appearance of a winged unicorn with the ability of speech. She-Ra occasionally calls him Swifty when referring to his winged unicorn form.
In the 2018 series, Swift Wind was a regular horse before She-Ra's magic accidentally transformed him into a winged unicorn and gave him the capability of speech. Swift Wind pursues his own political agenda of liberating Etheria's horses.
Spirit / Swift Wind are voiced by Lou Scheimer in the 1980s series and by Adam Ray in the 2018 series.
Bow is an archer who is one of the original Rebels. Bow often has to disguise himself when leaving The Whispering Woods, to prevent the Horde from identifying him. A cultured gentleman, Bow nevertheless is plagued by personal insecurities. He, like Glimmer, is a rather impetuous member of the Rebellion. He is far too eager to rush into battle with the Horde, which more often than not gets him captured, leading to She-Ra rescuing him. He develops a crush on She-Ra, whose true identity he does not know. Bow appears to have known Rebellion member Kowl for quite a long time. They have a friendly love/hate relationship, and they have many arguments in which Kowl arises as the winner and makes a fool of Bow. Kowl has, on many occasions, voiced his dislike of Bow's musical abilities, but Adora seems to enjoy his songs.
He has also shown some ability as an illusionist. At different times, he has made birds appear out of nowhere and made himself disappear.
Bow was released in the Masters of the Universe Classics toy line. This is the character's second time to be made into an action figure. He is the only male figure from the Princess of Power line up to be released. Bow's backstory is that he was a nobleman in Queen Angella's court.
The 2018 animated series Bow is redesigned as a young archer who was raised alongside his brothers by their fathers, historians who wanted no association with the war and intended Bow to succeed them. He is Princess Glimmer's best friend and also makes use of various types of special arrows.
Bow is voiced by George DiCenzo in the 1980s series and by Marcus Scribner in the 2018 series.
Glimmer, Princess of Bright Moon, is the daughter of Queen Angella and Micah. She is originally the leader of the Great Rebellion but relinquishes her title to Adora. Despite, being the former leader of the Great Rebellion, she is naive and at times gullible. She also demonstrates moments of impulsiveness. Glimmer comes from a happy family, but her childhood is tinged with sadness. After the Horde arrived on Etheria, her father left to fight them, and was never seen again. Later, when her mother is in battle with the Horde, she too disappears. For many years Glimmer fears she will never see her parents again. One day, a spy discovers that Angella is being held prisoner by Hunga, leader of the Harpies. By this point, Glimmer had established the Rebellion, but gives up her title to Adora, when her mother is rescued by She-Ra. Micah, escaping from Horde World, returns to Etheria for his and Angella's wedding anniversary but is subsequently captured by Hunga the Harpy. Through the help of She-Ra, Glimmer and Angella reunite with Micah.
Glimmer can manipulate light, allowing her to emit pulses or strobes to blind or disorient others, fire laser-like cutting beams or "solid-photon" concussive-force beams, illuminate large areas with radiant light, create explosive-plasma fireworks, and refract light to make herself (or other objects) invisible. In close proximity to her mother, she has the power to fly unaided. She has also demonstrated limited magical abilities, such as a holding spell, as well as short-range teleportation.
Glimmer received an action figure in Masters of the Universe Classics.
Princess Glimmer appears in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. This version's power derived from the runestone known as the Moonstone which she visits to regularity recharge her powers of line-of-sight teleportation and hurling bolts of photonic energy. Throughout the first season, Glimmer is at odds with her mother over her keeping her from the frontline before understanding Angella's reasons as the two come to an understanding.
Glimmer is voiced by Linda Gary in the 1980s series and by Karen Fukuhara in the 2018 series.
Angella, the Queen of Bright Moon and Glimmer's mother, possessing a pair of wings which allow her to fly. Angella is wise and kind, generally beloved by her subjects. She possesses vast mystical powers, which are linked to Bright Moon's Moonstone gem—itself powered by the light of Etheria's three moons. During an eclipse, her powers are drastically weakened. At full strength, she alone has proven more than a match for the Horde itself. Her powers are similar to Glimmer's in that they are primarily based on photonic energy, however at a significantly stronger magnitude than Glimmer's. Also, in contrast to Glimmer, Angella also has the ability to open magical-gateway portals to other dimensions. She also has various spell-casting abilities, of strength sufficient to counteract those of Shadow Weaver.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Queen Angella was the first of Etheria's rulers to fight back against the Evil Horde when they first arrived on Etheria and became the founder of the Great Rebellion with the help of key leaders. Angella had the Whispering Woods be used as the headquarters of the Great Rebellion.
Queen Angella appears in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, portrayed in the first season as an overprotective mother due to feeling responsible for leading the attack against the Horde that supposedly got her husband Micah killed and their alliance dissolved as a result. But by the first-season finale, Angella manages to open up to a despondent Glimmer about her mistakes and the two reach an understanding. Angella later dies by sacrificing herself in the third-season finale by helping Adora close a portal that threatens Etheria. A pre-recorded Star Wars-like hologram of her appears to Glimmer, Adora & Bow in the 4th season's premiere "The Coronation", telling Glimmer of how proud she is of her.
Queen Angella is voiced by Erika Scheimer in the 1980s series and by Reshma Shetty in the reboot.
He-Man is "the most powerful man in the universe" and in most media he is the alter-ego of Prince Adam. He-Man possesses superhuman strength and is capable of performing incredible feats, such as lifting heavy objects such as boulders and buildings, breaking solid rock with his fists, as well as having the advantage over just about any opponent. He is a formidable warrior, although he usually prefers to avoid conflict. He-Man is a strong upholder of moral justice and is regarded by the people of Eternia as their greatest hero. Prince Adam is the son of King Randor and Queen Marlena of Eternia, and is viewed by many as fun-loving, lazy, and cowardly. This is merely an act to keep people from suspecting that he is also He-Man. Prince Adam was given the Sword of Power by The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, and when he lifts the sword and says "By the Power of Grayskull... I Have the Power!" he is magically transformed into He-Man, defender of Eternia. In the He-Man and She-Ra The Secret of the Sword film (which is directly in sequential continuity with the original He-Man and The Masters of The Universe animated series) Prince Adam/He-Man is sent on a quest to Etheria by the Sorceress of Grayskull. While on Etheria, He-Man discovers that he has a long lost twin sister, Princess Adora, who was abducted from Eternia as an infant by Hordak and Skeletor. After He-Man rescues Adora from brainwashed service to the Evil Horde, she receives her own magical sword and becomes She-Ra.

Frosta is a valuable member of the Great Rebellion. She is the reigning ruler at Castle Chill in the Kingdom of Snows, an area located at the northernmost pole of Etheria. This area of Etheria has only been attacked on one occasion by the Horde, possibly because of the extreme temperature there. Most of Frosta's people hold a great hatred for the Selkies, a race of seal-like humanoids who live in Galacia, near her own homeland who once warred against them. Frosta, however, does not share her people's mistrust of them. When the Horde arrived, these two races called a truce to their feud to unite against them.
Frosta is able to lower her external and internal body temperature without harm to herself, thereby radiating immense cold from her body, most often as energy-like beams from her hands. Frosta is able to reach -105° degrees Fahrenheit within a few seconds, and is immune to sub-zero temperatures around her. In addition, she can freeze any moisture in the air around her into unusually-hard ice, and thereby form simple objects such as slides, ladders, and shields. Frosta can also freeze objects to the degree that they will shatter when touched or simply localize a small area with snow.
Frosta is a no-nonsense, direct individual who generally isn't afraid to voice her opinion. She later develops a crush on He-Man, and does little to hide her feelings for him. For his part, He-Man seems sometimes embarrassed due to her flirtatious behavior.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Frosta's real name is Queen Mackenzie.
Frosta appears in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power as a member of the Princess Alliance, her ethnicity and attire costume changed to the Etherian equivalent to Inuit. While a child ruling the second largest region in Etheria, Frosta intentionally presented herself as serious in the first season before opening up a bit in season two with a habit of going overboard while using her powers to create ice armor to increase her offense and defense.
Frosta is voiced by Erika Scheimer in the 1980s series and by Merit Leighton in the 2018 series.
Mermista is a mermaid and the princess of Salineas, an underwater city on Etheria. Her father King Mercier believes it best to leave The Horde alone, in the hope that they will respect his decision and leave him and his people in peace. Mermista knows that The Horde will stop at nothing to conquer all of Etheria and she is the only member of the people of Salineas who supports the Rebellion. Mermista possesses psionic control of the element of water and telepathy with sea creatures.
In the English-language version of the 1980s series, she speaks with a French accent.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Mermista is shown to be at her happiest when visiting She-Ra. During the Second Ultimate Battleground, Mermista fought Mer-Man.
Mermista appears in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power as one of the Princesses that Glimmer, Bow, and Adora come to ask to join the Rebellion. She had a previous relationship with Sea Hawk. Her personality is somewhat nihilistic and lethargic, but comes around to the Rebellion because of the help of the trio. She was also changed to being the Etherian equivalent to South Asian.
Mermista is voiced by Melendy Britt in the 1980s series and by Vella Lovell in the 2018 series.
The Sorceress (real name Teela Na) is the mystic guardian of Castle Grayskull. She acts as a conduit to the surging energies that dwell within the walls of Castle Grayskull. She can only temporarily access them, as it is shown to overwhelm her when exerting the power for long periods of time. Her powers include; telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance, teleportation, large scale energy barriers, mystics bolts, illusion projection and shapeshifting. She can also create portals to various worlds, dimensions and even across time. It is she who bestows on Prince Adam the power to become He-Man. With Grayskull's magic focused by the "Sword of Power", He-Man has inexhaustible access to Grayskulls power. In the original animated series, the Sorceress cannot leave the castle for long periods of time unless she utilizes the “Crystal of Allenar”. It allows her to use the power of Grayskull and remain in her true form temporarily. Once the crystal is exhausted, her link to Grayskull diminishes and she will revert to her falcon form.
Netossa is different from the rest of The Great Rebellion as her ability appears to have no magical or mystical source. Her skill is shown to be the product of her own hard work and practice. She can skillfully throw nets that she keeps on her back. She is so accurate in her aim that she is able to capture a Horde Trooper by casting a net through the bars of her cell door. Netossa has the features of an African-American woman.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Netossa comes from a land that was beyond the reaches of the Evil Horde.
Netossa appears in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. In this continuity, Netossa's powers are magical, being able to cast energy nets of varying size, both for entrapment and as force-fields. She is also married to Spinnerella.
Netossa is voiced by Diane Pershing in the 1980s series and by Krystal Joy Brown in the 2018 series.
King Randor is the ruler of Eternia, son of King Miro, husband to Queen Marlena, and father of Prince Adam and Princess Adora.
In the original animated series, Randor is chiefly shown wearing his crown and royal robes, presiding over dinners, and shaking his head over Adam's supposed laziness and Orko's apparent ineptitude. In the episode "Prince Adam No More," he demonstrates battle abilities when he helps He-Man fight off Skeletor's flying robots as they escape from Snake Mountain, mentioning his "strong left hook" from his warrior years. In the He-Man and She-Ra The Secret of the Sword film, he threatens to tear Snake Mountain to the ground in order to rescue Princess Adora after Skeletor and Hordak abduct her a second time.
Queen Marlena is the Queen of Eternia and mother of the twins Prince Adam and Princess Adora. In the 1980s series, Marlena Glenn is an astronaut from Earth, Boise Idaho. Her ship crash-landed on Eternia. In the 1980s series, Queen Marlena is portrayed wearing a crown and long gown and not doing much other than attending dinners with her husband King Randor. However, in the episode "The Rainbow Warrior", her skills as both a pilot and a leader are shown in great detail. Later in that episode it is hinted that Queen Marlena also knows her son is He-Man.
King Miro (voiced by Lou Scheimer) is King Randor's father and the grandfather of Prince Adam and Princess Adora. In the 1980s series King Miro disappeared for many years where he was held captive by the evil Enchantress. Restored to Eternia, he is taken to Etheria by Prince Adam to meet his granddaughter Adora.
Perfuma is a member of the Great Rebellion. Cheerful, bubbly and somewhat scatterbrained, Perfuma is a powerful member of the Rebellion. Unlike the other members of the Rebellion, she does not appear to be afraid of Hordak and the other Hordesmen. On one occasion, she is captured by Hordak and imprisoned in a dungeon in the Fright Zone. While prisoner in the Fright Zone, Perfuma decides that it can benefit from a bit of sprucing up. So she escapes and makes her way around the Fright Zone, decorating it with flowers wherever she goes. Hordak is so incensed by this that he begs She-Ra to take her back into the Rebellion.
Being an "ecomancer", she has total control over plants, allowing her to create vines, trees and vast fields of flora at will without the need of sunlight to maintain her plants. Her powers also have been shown to nullify/transform dark energy and fire into cascades of flowers; probably the reason she doesn't fear Hordak.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Perfuma had the real name of Tara and was born in an enchanted garden far far away.
Perfuma appears in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power as the acting ruler of Plumeria and member of the current Princess alliance, having a more hippie-like appearance.
Perfuma is voiced by Erika Scheimer in the 1980s series and by Genesis Rodriguez in the 2018 series.
Spinnerella only makes one appearance in the She-Ra: Princess of Power series.
In her single episode, she is shown to be a powerful member of The Rebellion. It is established that she and Netossa live in an area of Etheria, which is not controlled by The Horde. When she realizes that she has been duped by Hordak, she turns her power against him. Primarily a dancer, Spinerella has the ability to spin at high speeds, turning into a human cyclone, capable of rapid travel and deflecting oncoming attacks. Spinnerella and Netossa are best friends and love to travel together. She is fooled by Hordak into thinking Netossa has been captured by The Great Rebellion, when it is really The Horde who are responsible. When Spinnerella is told that Netossa has been captured by The Rebellion, she aids The Horde in gaining entry into the Whispering Woods by using her own ability to spin at rapid speeds to disable the trees' power.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Spinnerella uses her abilities to deliver messages to the Great Rebellion's loyal friends.
Spinnerella appears in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. In this continuity, she is a member of the Rebellion who can control the wind and air. She is also depicted with a plus-size figure, and is married to Netossa.
Spinnerella is voiced by Diane Pershing in the 1980s series and by ND Stevenson in the 2018 series.
Sea Hawk is a pirate. He possesses no magical abilities, his skills are the product of hard work. His skills were developed due to the influence of his father, The Falcon. Twenty years before Sea Hawk joined The Great Rebellion, The Falcon disappeared without a trace. Although his father had instilled him with good morals, Sea Hawk spent many years as a pirate, plundering the seas of Etheria. Later, he aids The Horde by delivering supplies. He later reveals that he only helped The Horde for the sum of money they paid him. Underneath his rugged exterior it is established that Sea Hawk is a good man. When he meets Princess Adora, shortly after her own defection from The Horde, she shows him that what he is doing is wrong and he joins The Rebellion in their fight against The Horde.
He usually wields a laser rapier in combat, but he later gains much more powerful weapons from his father, the Falcon. Among these are an Impact Ring, that enhances his physical blows a hundredfold and projects a protective energy shield in the form of a falcon; Seven League Boots that enable him to leap over great distances and a Photon Cutlass, which can stun when its blade glows blue and can cut through any substance when it glows red.
Sea Hawk also develops a crush on Princess Adora, revealing that he likes to spend the time with her, and She-Ra is just a fighting partner to him. This leads Sea Hawk and Adora to start a relationship in which they kissed each other at least twice in the franchise.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Sea Hawk is the son of Captain Falcon and commands the Solar Sailor crew. He would receive his weapons from Captain Falcon when Sea Hawk found his father shipwrecked on an island.
Sea Hawk appears in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, portrayed as a hyperactive glory-seeker with a habit of setting his ships on fire to ram his enemies. He also has an on-and-off relationship with Mermista, constantly flirting with her despite her annoyance.
Sea Hawk is voiced by George DiCenzo in the 1980s series and by Jordan Fisher in the 2018 series.
Madame Razz is a witch who lives in The Whispering Woods among the other Twigets. She uses her abilities to help The Great Rebellion in their fight against Hordak and the Evil Horde.
Being a witch, she has spellcasting abilities, and is able to brew potions in her cauldron. With the aid of Broom, she can fly. Madame Razz is very absent-minded, and frequently mispronounces spells or forgets them completely, due to her advanced age. However, they usually have a tendency to work out for the best regardless. The episode "Three Courageous Hearts" strongly hints that Madame Razz is well over 1,000yrs old, as she (to Kowl's amazement) is easily able to read a spellbook written in a language that had been extinct on Etheria for a thousand years, with Broom telling Kowl that "Madame's pretty ancient herself."
She is the equivalent of Orko in the He-Man series, both as comic relief and for occasional periods of wisdom. Also, most of their faces are usually covered by their hats. Madame Razz is one of three people on Etheria that knows Adora is She-Ra; she also tells the tale of how She-Ra met Light Hope, the gatekeeper of The Crystal Castle. Although they share her secret, neither one has ever interacted throughout the series run.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Madame Razz is listed as a Twigget.
In the 2018 series, Razz is re-imagined as a somewhat-senile old woman in the Whispering Woods with a connection to the previous She-Ra Mara, who seems to experience time non-linearly, and has a Russian accent.
Madame Razz is voiced by Linda Gary in the 1980s series and by Grey Griffin in the 2018 series.
Broom is a sentient broomstick with face and arms who is Madame Razz's friend and can fly enough to serve as her mode of transportation. He also possesses some magical energy and has lent it to Queen Angella along with Glimmer and Madame Razz to fight Shadow Weaver. Shown in a few episodes, it is revealed that Broom also knows that Adora is She-Ra.
Broom is voiced by Lou Scheimer in the 1980s series.
Mara was the last She-Ra before Adora in the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power continuity. She does not appear in the original series. Mara makes her first appearance in a holographic demonstration made by Light Hope to explain to Adora the She-Ra line at the Crystal Castle in the episode "Light Hope". Light Hope initially painted Mara as a failure, citing that her actions broke the She-Ra line for many years. Eventually, Adora discovers the truth behind Mara's time as She-Ra. She was originally sent to Etheria by the First Ones to study the planet's magic, along with Light Hope, and was given the sword by her superiors. During this time, she befriended Razz and through her, learned of the deeper meaning behind magic on Etheria. Eventually, she discovered the truth behind the First Ones' project: they intended to syphon the natural magic of Etheria's runestones and the princesses into She-Ra as a massive weapon to use against their enemies, called the Heart of Etheria. Since She-Ra was the only being capable of withstanding all the power, they built the sword as a means to control her. When Mara discovered this and that the First Ones had reprogrammed Light Hope to fire the weapon at any costs, she attempted to stop the weapon from going off and forever hid Etheria in Despondos to keep the Heart from destroying other worlds. This ultimately cost her her life, but she was able to leave a recorded message for Adora explaining everything to her successor.
Mara is voiced by Zehra Fazal.
Kowl is a flying Etherian creature which resembles a cross between a koala and an owl. He is a snarky, sharp-witted member of the Rebellion. Kowl's species was a Kolian but just like the Loo-Kee the Kon-Seal, it was never stated in the series where on Etheria they can be found. His species possess the ability to fly using their giant wing-like ears and someone them like Kowl's cousin Red-Eye are able to read the minds of other members of their species if they have some feathers from the other Kolian. Red-Eye's ability almost allows the Evil Horde to capture their enemies. Although Kowl lacks courage, this does not stop him from trying to help his friends when they are in need. Kowl seems to have developed a strong attachment to fellow Great Rebellion member Bow. Their love/hate relationship suggests they have known each other for quite some time, often implying they didn't like each other when it could be seen that they had a great friendship. Kowl also had a one-time rivalry with Imp so much so that in one episode, Imp attempts to set up Kowl as a Horde spy by planting Horde coins in his bed. Some of The Great Rebellion think Kowl may be a traitor, but Princess Adora firmly believes he is innocent. Later on in the episode, it is revealed that Imp was the one responsible for the coins and that Kowl's innocent. The Rebels apologize to Kowl for not trusting him and he is accepted back into the fold. It should also be noted that Kowl is one of three people on Etheria that knows that Adora is She-Ra and has been to The Crystal Castle to see Light Hope.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Kowl was just listed as a type of owl and has a genius-level intellect.
Kowl does not appear in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. However, Glimmer does have a stuffed animal version of the character in her bedroom.
Kowl is voiced by Lou Scheimer in the 1980s series.
Supporting Members

Castaspella is an extremely powerful sorceress, able to control magical forces of immense strength including: precognitive, communicative, analytical and manipulative spells. To focus and intensify her magic, she linked her powers with her gold armbands. She is one of the most powerful sorceresses on Etheria, along with Queen Angella and Shadow Weaver.

In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Castaspella is one of the most powerful mages on Etheria and became one of the leaders of the Great Rebellion.
Castaspella appears in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Castaspella is the sister of King Micah and aunt to Glimmer. It has been hinted that she and her sister-in-law don't get along well. In this version she is Etherian equivalent of Asian.
Castaspella is voiced by Melendy Britt in the 1980s series and by Sandra Oh in the 2018 series.
Flutterina is a member of The Great Rebellion who has butterfly-like wings. Before she was transformed into Flutterina by Light Hope, her name was "Small One" and she was a laborer in Baron Condor's castle.
In the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline, Flutterina was a member of the Beautifly Council who joined up with the Great Rebellion. She uses her wings to fly quietly when working as a spy and reconnaissance officer.
In the 2018 series, Flutterina is a disguise that Double Trouble assumes to infiltrate the Great Rebellion before being exposed as their saboteur.
The Horde
The Horde is a fictional intergalactic organization of supervillainous monsters, robots, demons, and sorcerers on Etheria who occupy the land on behalf of their leader Horde Prime. The Fright Zone serves as their base of operations with connections on both Etheria and Eternia. Among its members are:
Key Members
Hordak (Hor-dak) is Skeletor's old master, She-Ra's archenemy, and the Horde's ruthless cyborg commander who conquered most of the planet Etheria. He is the brother of Horde Prime.
In the 1980s animated series, Hordak is a cyborg who can alter his shape, most often into that of a rocket to make a quick get-away. In the Masters of the Universe comics, Hordak also tries to conquer Eternia, making him a frequent adversary of both He-Man and Skeletor. Hordak is notoriously short-tempered, often abusing his minions (Mantenna in particular, with Hordak constantly sending him down a trap door in his throne room). Despite being evil, Hordak has a sense of humor.
In the 2002 series, Hordak wished to rule over all of Eternia. After he and his minions defeated the Snake Men, Hordak turned his attention to Castle Grayskull and launched an attack against it. He was defeated by King Grayskull, who banished Hordak and his forces to the Abyss and entrapped them in a dimension within. Somehow, ages later, Hordak became Skeletor's master, despite the dimensional differences. Hordak saves Keldor's life after he is mortally injured battling Randor; in saving his life, Hordak transformed Keldor into Skeletor and told him there would one day be a price to pay for Hordak's assistance. Later in the series, Evil-Lyn and Count Marzo attempt to release Hordak from his dimensional prison.
Unlike his former pupil Skeletor, Hordak prefers to place his reliance on science and technology, rather than magic. He suffered no fools and expected the highest standards of excellence from his minions, rewarding them when they succeeded and punishing them severely when they failed.
Hordak serves as the main antagonist for the first four seasons of the 2018 reboot She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. He also makes a cameo appearance in the 2021 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe as Evilyn's father.
His face is a pale flesh color on the figure but pure white in the series. Initially, the figure did not have the left cannon arm as he did in the series. The figure just had two normal arms. However, later variants of Hordak gave him a variety of cyborg-like mechanical gimmicks, reminiscent of the shape-changing powers he displayed in the series.
Other members
Admiral Scurvy is a member of the Horde who oversees their naval operations on the Horde Dreadnought. He is also a rival of Sea Hawk.
Admiral Scurvy appears in the fourth season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power as a free agent and a former friend of Sea Hawk's, before Sea Hawk burned his ships. He later captures Sea Hawk, Bow, and Swift Wind to receive the bounty on them from Octavia.
Admiral Scurvy is voiced by George DiCenzo in the 1980s series and by Keston John in the 2018 series.
Squall is Admiral Scurvy's pet cat who is overweight and wears an eyepatch.
Callix (voiced by Scott McNeil in the 2002 series) is a Vebex Rock Man from the Tri Solar System and one of Hordak's generals who can crumble him into pebbles and reassemble himself. His name is also spelled Calyx.
He first appeared briefly in the 2002 He-Man animated series. He was present with Hordak outside Castle Grayskull. When Callix gave Hordak the bad news about the Snake Men's defeat and how it will be difficult to attack Castle Grayskull, Hordak crumbled him to dust.
Callix received a toy in the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline in 2015. He was recruited into the Horde during his youth and rose to the ranks due to his insight and perspective of the Horde's enemies.
Colonel Blast is a Horde commander with electro-energy weapons built into his armor. He appears to be quite muscular and strong, but in reality, he is a rather scrawny and unimpressive man underneath the armor.
He was based on the prototype for Rio Blast, a heroic character.
Colonel Blast is voiced by Lou Scheimer in the 1980s series.
Other characters
General Sunder (voiced by George DiCenzo) - General Sunder was once one of Hordak's prime army generals in the Horde. Unlike most of the Evil Horde, Sunder is honorable. Sunder is also competent and brave, at one point directly contradicting Hordak while serving as one of his generals. Convinced by She-Ra to change his ways, Sunder leaves the Horde to live a peaceful life as a quiet farmer with his wife, Mally, and young daughter, Telzy. But when the Rebels need help, he is still ready to use his battle skills to aid them.
Queen Hunga (voiced by Melendy Britt) - Queen Hunga is a harpy who is the ruler of the Harpies on Talon Mountain. She has antagonized She-Ra on different occasions. Queen Hunga is also the arch-enemy of Queen Angella. Although Hunga is not part of the Evil Horde, she and her harpies are aligned to their cause.
Gayda (voiced by Erika Scheimer) - Gayda is a harpy who is Hunga's sister and second-in-command.
Huntara (voiced by Erika Scheimer in the 1980s series, Geena Davis in the 2018 series) - Huntara is a female warrior from the planet Silax, whose natives are the greatest hunters, trappers, and warriors in the universe. They are also dedicated to battling evil. Hordak summons Huntara to Etheria and deceives her into believing the Great Rebellion's members are evil. She captures Glimmer and uses her as bait to draw out She-Ra, but later discovers Hordak's deception.
