CBUB did this fight several years back. CBUB Fights: Skeletor vs. Mumm-Ra

It's an interesting battle.

If we're taking the '80's version of Skeletor, he's got a whole host of powers.




Also he's got a winning record against other villains. He's pwned Hordak in every battle (in fact the writers said they often used Skeletor against other villains just so he could win.) as well as other one shot type foes. Skeletor also has the handicap of being from one of the most kid friendly shows of the '80s.

The film version is one of the best '80's fantasy villains and the only good point about the movie.



The 200X version doesn't have the handicap of his predecessors as being so cartoony, but doesn't seem to have the whole host of powers that the other versions have but is a sorcerer of some regard.

Then there's my prefered version of Skeletor, the pre-filmation comic version. In this story he is a foreigner from another dimension. A demon who travels from world to world, taking its great treasures and power and then destroying the world, kind of like a magic Braniac. In the minic-comics and the DC comics, He-man (No Prince Adam, he's a savage warrior) never beats him. It takes the intervention of the Goddess to do so.

That said, Mumm-Ra is the everliving. He's got a whole host of powers that run the gambit, from shapeshifting to necromancy, to arcane knowledge of things that only other greater beings are supposed to know about. He's the personal enforcer of the ancient spirits of evil essentially.
And there's this,

Now we've got a complete unknown in the new version of Mumm-Ra from the upcoming cartoon, which according to the writers is a much darker version then we've ever seen before.

Any way you shake it (well, except Super Mumm-Ra vs 200X Skeletor), it should be a good (evil?) fight.
