Personally I always saw Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian as the antihero equivalent to He-Man. Yes, he was often a loud drunk barbarian, a thief, a prirate, a womanizer, a mercenary, an expert fighter and killer, but he did have a moral code about him and regularly was loyal, honorable and stood up for those that could not stand up for themselves.

So I can see an adaptation of He-Man being in this Conan vein. We actually got a little taste of this antihero He-Man already in the Masterverse comic issue #3. 🙂

@admin Dang, I haven't read Issue 3 of Masterverse yet (Mostly because the nearest comic store I like is around an hour away). I bet he looked cool in it! 

@princeofeternia The art style was not my favorite, but he looked like the New Eternia He-Man:

I could see an older, more battle-worn Adam being like this. A version where he's gotten tired of the constant fighting. Maybe suffered one or more major losses.

It's definitely an idea worth pursuing.

@costume-n00b Thats the way I'm going with it sorta, though not sure where to go now due to the story needing to be processed in my brain.

I can definitely see Marlena passing since during the 80s, she's been with Adam more than Randor

@admin Ohh! Thats really cool! Didn't know that would he the AntiHero He-Man but he does seem to be a good fit for the role

Could be some cool story lines going down this road, very real and gritty 

@mike Agreed here, I have some ideas but they are very loose at the moment. I do need to research more if I get the chance

I don't know if He-Man and gritty can go together. Zack Snyder tried that with Superman and we all know how fans reacted.

@he-dad I see where your saying with that. Thats why I can kinda see Adam more than He-Man, since He-Man is suppose to be the hero while Adam is just, there being the secret identity of He-Man

@princeofeternia You lost me there bro. Adam and He-Man have the same mind. I can't see one having an anti hero attitude and not the other.

@he-dad I forgot a lot that Adam and He-Man are the same people and not two different people sometimes, my apologies
