Publisher's summary

Mounted on the mighty Battle Cat, He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, rides across the planet of Eternia. He is ready to defend it against the forces of evil - led by the dreaded Skeletor.

To protect his identity, He-Man stays disguised as the unassuming Prince Adam until the need arises. Then, by the power of Grayskull, he lifts his sword and transforms himself into the champion of Eternia.
