History Monster / MastersOfTheUniverse

** [[EvilSorcerer Skeletor]], strongly hinted to be the long-lost brother of King Randor called Keldor, is a powerful warlock with a strong desire to conquer Eternia. Constantly trying to breach the walls of Castle Grayskull, Skeletor uses various schemes to get more power. One time, Skeletor used {{Man Eating Plant}}s to attack an Eternian city with the intent of razing the place and killing all the people there in order to get to the royal family. Skeletor later tried twice to starve the Eternian people weaken their defenses, and ordered his minion Stinkor to pollute the ecosystem of the planet, simply because he didn't liked how happy Eternia was that day. Skeletor orders another one of his minions Spikor to burn down a village, while he kidnaps Teela to force He-Man to [[SadisticChoice choose who he wants to save]]. Later, Skeletor tries to use his Stormbringer to cause destruction all over Eternia, simply to destroy Castle Grayskull. Going to the past, Skeletor tries to change history so he would be the only ruler of Eternia by manipulating King Hiss and helping him raze villages.

* "Mineternia" (first continuity): [[BigBad Skeletor]] is a being from another dimension, who ended up on Eternia by accident and decided to conquer it. Repeatedly trying to breach Castle Grayskull to learn its secrets, Skeletor would do anything to achieve his goals. In the past, Skeletor forcibly extracted part of a magical essence from Sorceress in order to create her duplicate, wanting to raise said duplicate to become his wife. And when Man-At-Arms saved her from this fate, naming the girl Teela, Skeletor tried several times to brainwash her, and at one point tried to sacrifice her to a demon. In the present, [[BadBoss abusing his minions]], Skeletor creates the machine to steal the magic from all Eternia to power himself up, resulting in all magic users dying and Eternia being torn apart. Kidnapping the powerful flying machine Point Dread, Skeletor led the attack on Eternian palace, killing dozens of guards in his attempt to seize the Eternian throne.

* ''Masters of the Universe'' (1982 Creator/DCComics miniseries): [[BigBad Skeletor]] is a demon who [[GalacticConqueror invades worlds]], bringing death and chaos to every planet he visits. With the goal of conquering Eternia, Skeletor has [[IHaveYourWife kidnapped the Goddess]], this story's version of the Sorceress, to force He-Man to get him 3 talismans that will allow him to gain the Sword of Power. Skeletor has his Beast Men attack Stratos's kingdom, just so that He-Man can discover one of the talismans there. Later, Skeletor [[BadBoss teleports his minion Merman away to be tortured]] when Merman tried to gain the sword for himself. An evil wizard named Damon is trying to foil Skeletor, wanting to use the sword to conquer Eternia, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but also fearing what Skeletor would do with the sword]]. Damon attacks Skeletor, their magical duel creating a wormhole that teleports Damon and Skeletor to the heart of Castle Grayskull, where the Sword is kept. Damon thinks he has outwitted Skeletor, but Skeletor reveals that he was playing dumb and knew of Damon's plan, [[ManipulativeBastard letting him do all the work]]. Skeletor then kills Damon and obtains the sword. After being confronted by He-Man, Skeletor uses the sword's magic to summon He-Man's ally Man-E-Faces and mind controls him so that he tries to kill He-Man. Ultimately Skeletor plans to use the sword's power to start a [[OmnicidalManiac campaign of carnage across the galaxy]], starting with Eternia.
* ''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse'' (Star Comics): In this series, [[FromNobodyToNightmare Skeletor]] starts off as an unremarkable villain, but becomes a nightmare by the end of the series. Skeletor tricks He-Man into getting a magic crystal for him, not letting him know that this crystal is the only thing [[ColonyDrop keeping a flying city afloat]], forcing He-Man to choose between capturing him or saving this city. But Skeletor is at his worst in the final two issues, when Prince Adam is teleported 30 years into the future. Without He-Man to oppose him, Skeletor conquers Eternia. Skeletor becomes a [[EvilOverlord tyrant who rules with an iron fist]], Skeletor has murdered Man-At-Arms, trapped the Sorceress in a crystal prison and has imprisoned anyone who defies him, including King Randor and Queen Marlena, into labor camps where they are worked to death. Skeletor has also caused massive famine and is sending the [[WouldHurtAChild children]] of Eternia to reeducation camps where they are brainwashed into becoming his slaves. Adam teams up with the rebellion against Skeletor but is quickly captured by Skeletor. Skeletor plans to kill Adam and the rebels in front of all Eternia, [[HopeCrusher to crush the people's last remaining hope of ever being free of his rule]].

** ''ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' & ''ComicBook/InjusticeVsMastersOfTheUniverse'': ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} is the [[EvilOverlord despotic ruler]] of the planet Apokolips and [[ArchEnemy one of the most sworn and powerful enemies]] of Superman. Torturing Black Racer into submission, Darkseid allows his son Kalibak to lead an assault on Earth, killing tens of thousands of people, before his army was destroyed by Superman. Angered at the fact that Superman sullied his reputation by killing Kalibak, Darkseid starts scheming the destruction of Superman more aggressively, first hiring Lobo to take him down and then, when that failed, joining the conspiracy with Ares and Hera, [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating]] humans, superheroes, and Olympians into a bloody conflict, with the human government even launching nukes as a result. After this, Darkseid found the weakened Skeletor in the cosmos, and from him, he found the location of the solution to Anti-Life Equation to be in Castle Greyskull. Invading Eternia, Darkseid kills, captures and transforms thousands of people into his obedient slaves, as he tries to uncover Anti-Life Equation, to [[MultiversalConqueror take control of the multiverse]], killing the minds and personalities of every living being aside from himself.
** ''ComicBook/HeManThundercats'' & ''ComicBook/InjusticeVsMastersOfTheUniverse'': [[CrossoverComboVillain Skeletor and Mumm-Ra]] are the evil supernatural beings who decided to [[VillainTeamUp unite]] in order to destroy their sworn enemies and take over all reality. Enslaving the Ancient Spirits of Evil, thus giving them the form of titanic beasts, the two command them to cause chaos all over Eternia in order to take possession of two ancient magic swords, the Sword of Omens and the Sword of Power. As a result, thousands of Eternians were killed, and nearly all Eternia was on the brink of destruction. When the remaining forces of Eternia and the [=ThunderCats=] managed to defeat their beasts, Skeletor and Mumm-Ra [[FusionDance fused into the extremely powerful Mumm-Ator]] and, after destroying the remaining opposition, break in to the Castle of Greyskull to try to take over the multiverse. After Lion-O and He-Man combined their power to separate and banish them, the weakened Skeletor [[TheStarscream pretends to serve]] both Darkseid and the power-mad Superman, manipulating them both, causing Darkseid to invade Eternia, an action which resulted in many more people being killed or brainwashed to be servants of Darkseid.
* ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'' (2012-2019, by Creator/DCComics):
** [[OverarchingVillain Skeletor]] is the ArchEnemy of the Masters of the Universe and the most personal foe they face throughout the entire story. Originally a half-Gar bastard son of King Miro named Keldor, he developed a lust for power due to not being able to ever becoming a king. Making a deal with the monstrous entity Hordak, Skeletor started a civil war within the kingdom, leading to a countless deaths, before he kidnapped his infant niece and gave her to Hordak, who then began corrupting her. Responsible for the deaths of thousands while under Hordak's command, Skeletor eventually abandons him to pursue his own [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitions]]. With no care for anyone but himself, Skeletor regularly abuses his own minions and tries to betray his masters. Tricking She-Ra in to restoring him and revealing him location of millions of souls that Hordak tortured, Skeletor uses them to kill Hordak and create a weapon that he uses to destroy dozens of planets and their populations, later intending to use it to [[OmnicidalManiac annihilate everything that has ever existed]] across every dimension and rebuild the multiverse and rule over it as [[AGodAmI a god of death and evil]].
** [[SatanicArchetype Hordak]] himself is an ancient "space vampire" and [[GreaterScopeVillain the root of all evil]] in the story. Once a member of a heavily-populated race, Hordak tricked his enemies, and his own people, into massacring each other in a huge war, at which point he [[YourSoulIsMine absorbed their souls]] into himself, leaving them in [[AndIMustScream tortured agony]]. Using his victims' [[NightOfTheLivingMooks corpses as his army]], Hordak tried to take over Eternia before being banished into an alternate dimension, which he quickly took over as his own, and then used to enter the realm of Etheria, where he slowly slaughtered and [[SoulEating devoured the souls]] of billions. Using Skeletor to kidnap Adora, sister of Prince Adam, while she was an infant, Hordak [[TheCorrupter corrupted her]] into becoming his killing machine. When she gave him access back to Eternia, which he invaded immediately, Hordak threw her aside since she had served her purpose. After dominating Eternia and regularly gorging on the souls of hundreds of citizens, Hordak destroys the planet Primus to show his newfound power and reveals his plan to dominate the entire universe and turn it into a nightmarish realm where he is worshiped as [[AGodAmI a god]] while all those who oppose him suffer horribly.
** [[TheWormThatWalks King Hsss]], an ancient ruler of [[Characters/MastersOfTheUniverseTheSnakeMen the Snake Men]], was in control of Eternia a thousand years before the arrival of Man. Desiring to become [[AGodAmI greater]] than his god Serpos, Hsss attempted to absorb the power of the core of Eternia. As a result, he and his Snake Men were punished, with him being the only survivor. Plotting to take control of Eternia once again, King Hsss wears the faces of many people during Eternia history, setting in motion plan to resurrect the Snake Men and raze the whole of Eternia until it becomes his domain. Possessing a leader of the Gar, Hsss tricks them into committing a coup against King Greyskull, killing him, his wife and countless men, women, and children, and then setting the whole capital on fire. Because of his manipulations, the Gar ended up being banished to their home island, suffering the hatred of whole Eternia and being reduced to cowardly backstabbers. Killing and wearing the skin of King Randor, Hsss tricked Masters of the Universe into coming to the Underworld, where he planned to use He-Man to resurrect his Snake Men and absorb the power of Eternia. When that fails, he ends up possessing Prince Adam himself, and when Adam takes back control over his body and kills him, King Hsss [[GenocideFromTheInside destroyed his own species]] out of spite, leaving Eternians without an army to reclaim their world.

When she gave him access back to Eternia, which he invaded immediately, Hordak threw her aside since she had served her purpose. After dominating Eternia and regularly gorging on the souls of hundreds of citizens, Hordak destroys the planet Primus to show]] his newfound power and reveals his plan to dominate the entire universe and turn it into a nightmarish realm where he is worshiped as [[AGodAmI a god while all those who oppose him suffer horribly.
** The aforementioned [[SatanicArchetype Hordak]] is an ancient "space vampire" and is [[GreaterScopeVillain the root of all evil]] in the story. Once the member of a heavily-populated race, Hordak tricked his enemies, and his own people, into massacring each other in a huge war, at which point he [[YourSoulIsMine absorbed their souls]] into himself, leaving them in [[AndIMustScream tortured agony]]. Using his victims' corpses as his army, Hordak tried to take over Eternia before being banished into an alternate dimension, which he quickly took over as his own, and then used to enter the realm of Etheria, where he slowly slaughtered billions of innocents before devouring their souls. Later leading a full-scale invasion onto Eternia, Hordak reveals that his [[TheDragon Dragon]] is actually the long-lost sister of [[TheHero He-Man]], Adora, whom Hordak had kidnapped then tortured and corrupted into becoming his killing machine. Along with [[MindRape Mind Raping]] Adora anytime she would begin to realize her true heritage, Hordak sadistically murders her surrogate mother in front of her, then allows her to realize she is responsible for Eternia's imminent destruction. After dominating Eternia and regularly gorging on the souls of hundreds of citizens, Hordak destroys the planet Primus to show his newfound power and reveals his plan to dominate the entire universe and turn it into a nightmarish realm where he is worshiped as a god while all those who oppose him suffer horribly. Serving as a contrast to Skeletor's omnicidal psychopathy, Hordak was a genocidal sociopath who believed all life to be inferior to himself.

** [[AdaptationalVillainy Skeletor]] is the [[OverarchingVillain ever-present]] main antagonist of this story, and the most personal foe the Masters of the Universe face throughout it. Originally one of the two possible heirs to the throne of Eternia, Skeletor was rejected his chance at the throne due to his half-Gar lineage, and as such, developed a deep-seeded hatred for his entire family and a lust for power. [[DealWithTheDevil Making a deal]] with the monstrous entity Hordak, Skeletor poisoned the Eternia royalty; fatally stabbed his brother; kidnapped his infant niece and gave her to Hordak for him to torture and corrupt; and began laying siege to Eternia, leading to the slaughter of hundreds of innocents. With no care for anyone but himself, Skeletor [[BadBoss tortures and kills his own minions]], abuses his significant other, and regularly tries to betray his masters, while simultaneously going along with their plans gleefully, no matter how many innocents may die at his hands. Seemingly redeeming himself, Skeletor quickly reveals it was a ruse and, after [[HijackedByGanon killing Hordak and usurping the role of final villain]], uses the tortured souls of billions of innocents to create a weapon that he first uses to annihilate dozens of planets and their populations, then reveals he will use it to [[OmnicidalManiac annihilate everything that has ever existed across every dimension]], and, on the off chance that he himself survives, he will [[AGodAmI rebuild the multiverse and rule over it as a god of death and evil]]. A psychopath who refused to be anything but the supreme master of all, and, failing at this, the destroyer of all, Skeletor was much more evil and much more serious than his usual incarnation.

** [[KnightOfCerebus King Hiss]] is an ancient ruler of Snake Men, who was on the verge of conquering Eternia, feeding on many innocents and desiring to [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans destroy whole civilizations to keep himself at the top]]. After being [[SealedEvilInACan banished to the Void]] by the Elders and Zodac, he was freed by the combined effort of a descendant of the Snake Men Kobra Khan and Evil-Lyn, King Hiss [[UngratefulBastard wasted no time trying to eat them later]], only stopping when she promises to help him obtain Power of the Elders. Wanting to be at the top of a food chain again, King Hiss plots various schemes, while eating more and more innocent creatures [[EatenAlive alive]]. First, he tries to turn every person into a Snake Men, whom he can control and when that fails, he tries to set his god Serpos free to cause destruction upon Eternia, planning to "cleanse" the land, with the survivors being either slaves or food.

Plotting various schemes, Skeletor does whatever he can to get more power, such as instigating a war between the Andreenids and the Avions, just to get a free access to the Andreenids' supply of Ambrosia, razing villages and trying to take away Eternium--the strongest metal on Eternia, vital to Kulataks' survival--from Kulataks. Regularly [[BadBoss abusing his Evil Warriors]], Skeletor at one point tried to sacrifice his minion Evil-Lyn to eldritch horrors in exchange for their service.
** [[GiantSpider Webstor]] is a spider-like creature who [[PsychoForHire works for anyone who pays]]. Becoming one of the members of the [[LegionOfDoom Council of Evil]], Webstor assists Skeletor in capturing the Masters of the Universe and helped him attempt to breach Castle Greyskull, before departing from him after they failed. Deciding to work for himself, Webstor sneaks to the Andreenids' supply of Ambrosia, where he eats it and mutates, obtaining more power. Kidnapping a large portion of Andreenids and Avions, Webstor plans to feed them to his deadly spiders, before going on to terrorize the whole of Eternia.
