What if She-Ra had been an agent of Hordak named Despara? From DC Comics He-Man & The Masters of the Universe

For the honor of podcasts! It's our first episode dedicated to the Princess of Power: She-Ra. We start by covering Adora's five episode origin story on the iconic Filmation tv series. Then we talk comics that sees Adora become Despara in the 2013-2015 Masters of the Universe series from DC Comics in a new take on her origin. We wrap up by speculating about the upcoming 2026 Masters of the Universe film and when we may next see She-Ra on the screen or page. Grab your sword and your headphones and let's go!

After a few past He-Man episodes, it's finally time to cover his twin sister Adora aka She-Ra! We start off by talking about her debut on her own Filmation series (don't call it a spin-off!) before exploring her revised origin story as Despara in a nineteen issue arc from DC Comics. We wrap up by wondering when we might next see She-Ra on screen and why she doesn't have her own comic book. All this plus we talk Star Wars comparisons and Guido's recent She-Ra toy acquisition (and longtime fandom).

Reading / Watch List:
  • She-Ra Princess of Power Episodes #1-5 (TV Show 1985)
