The only version of He-man that I like is the original one from the Mini-Comics. No Adam, no magic sword. He-man of the Rock People. Hero of his tribe, chosen by the Goddess to be her champion.

They do not occupy Castle Grayskull, it's almost taboo for anyone to step into it. He-man has two harnesses, one that creates a nigh impenetrable force field and a second that enhances his strength 10 fold. His prefered weapon is the large battle axe which he uses to smite demons and the like. He also doesn't like Man-At-Arms and has some very non-traditional views on several matters, like being just fine with slavery, as well as killing first, asking questions later.

He also gets his ass handed to him every single time he tries to face Skeletor. Instead he requires The Goddess and without her at least two others to take on Skeletor and force a withdrawl in He-mans favor. Hell, even Mer-man left him for dead in one of the comics.

I'm not saying that this He-man (with character depth!) can't stand up against Lion-O, but that he hardly WAYYYY outclasses him either.
