She-Ra: Princess of Power - 1980s Cartoon TV Series

She-Ra: Princess of Power TV Series


As He-Man and the Masters of the Universe hit the small screen and toys in 1983 and basically win male audiences, a spin-off was produced entitled She-Ra Princess of Power for female counterpart. She-Ra and He-Man share personalities and things almost exactly with each other, from their secret identities, source of power, allies and rides, strength & abilities, outsmart beating opponents, fight for their planet & people freedom, etc., but there's also slight differ between two series; He-Man was a lazy irresponsible being Prince Adam to hide his hero identity in a science fiction and technology focused show while She-Ra as Princess Adora in her energetic, tomboyish, strong-willed archetypical female as hero She-Ra in a more on swords and sorcery story line.

Prince Adam's twin-sister Princess Adora, daughter of Queen Marlena and King Randor of Eternia, was kidnapped by evil planet Etheria leader Hordak (he failed to conquer Eternia) in her infants, she grew in Etheria and used to work before. He-Man told Princess Adora her true identity, by the wielding the magic Sword of Protection with a crystal set and saying “For the Honor of Grayskull... I Am She-Ra!”. Transform Adora as the most powerful woman in the Universe - She-Ra and her steed Spirit into unicorn Swift Wind, and possesses superhuman strength, stamina, agility with special abilities to heal with her touch, a telepathic animal communications and change her sword into a shield, helmet, parachute, lasso, flaming blade, etc., at her command. She-Ra, with her few friends Madame Razz, wise sharp-witted bird Kowl and gatekeeper Lighthope knew her identity, formed and led the Great Rebellion aiming to defend the Crystal Castle and free planet Etheria from evil sorcerer Horde Prime.

The She-Ra: Princess of Power cartoon tv series ran from September 9, 1985 till December 5, 1987 with total of 2 seasons and 93 episodes.
