The Sorceress of Grayskull, sensing the looming threat, reveals to Adam his true destiny as the defender of Eternia. She guides him to the ancient Sword of Power, and with the incantation, "By the power of Grayskull, I have the power!" Adam transforms into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. He-Man, along with his loyal allies Man-At-Arms, Teela, and the magician Orko, embarks on a quest to stop Skeletor.
