Early on in the first episode titled "Even for Kings" of the 2024 Netflix Animated series "Masters of the Universe: Revolution", King Randor fell ill to a mysterious illness. The royal doctor Mendor explained to Randor's family and closest friends that the great King was suffering from a kind of organ failure he had never seen before and there was no way to save him. "It's kind of an organ failure I've never encountered before Adam. And we can’t still find the cure." Never trust a doctor with exclamation points on his head. Of course, we all know what happens…

Sounds logical. Although I doubt the Snake Men would work with the Horde; they probably would do all they can to be assumed a dead empire especially in the eyes of another big empire like the Horde. But then, assuming Mendor is not who he seems to be, he might be a spy sent to infiltrate the horde by doing spy work for them.
It would be quite interesting if killing Randor was the way they inserted King Hiss. Adam's discovery would immediately set up an amazing vengeance plot.

Will we get Mendor as a Masterverse figure? I don't believe he was even made for the Classics line.
On another note, based on his appearance, maybe Mendor is really Isaac from the Castlevania animated series. Won't be the first time MOTU did crossovers.
I sometimes wonder if he wasn't murdered but sacrificed himself when he hugged Savage He-Man and got him to turn back into Adam.. That or the power was too much for him as he was close.
@thedoctor That is quite a creative idea. I like it. We must pray that Adam never finds out. We learned in the Problem with Power episode that he could never cope with that level of guilt.
@longtooth If they go this route maybe Adam does find out but Randor's spirit comes back again and we get a closure that he chose this to allow Adam to come back to his true form. Also this is why he never mentions Adora when he is dying the guilt of not getting his daughter back and them keeping that secret from Adam was why he chose to do what he did and give himself up to save at least one of his children.

You know there was a great Incredible Hulk storyline where I believe Bruce and Betty were married and finally happy, and then Betty got sick and they realized Betty was dying of gamma radiation poisoning (from being so near to Bruce all the time). After Betty died, the guilt that Bruce felt was traumatic. There was a later plot twist, but it all provided an excellent framework for a real compelling story... and I think your idea of that hug ultimately costing Randor's life could too... at least for a comic! 🙂

@admin AJ I remember that plot well. I am a huge comic guy myself and have a large collection. I also have another theory as to why others could access the power of Grayskull but not be full He-Man. He-Man is the true and really first champion of Grayskull. When he returned the power from being Savage He-Man the power flowed backwards through time granting a portion of the power to each of the champions. This ties in with more of know that Adam in this canon can share the power with others than Cringer.
