History

Beast Man was the henchman most often at Skeletor's side; he had the power to telepathically control most of the beasts and animals on Eternia. While he did possess a certain cunning, his talents were often unappreciated by Skeletor, who frequently made Beast Man the main object of his wrath; frequently blaming him when a scheme failed. Beast Man resented being bossed around by Skeletor, but lacked the courage to stand up to him. Over time, he became more bumbling and comedic.

One one occasion, Beast Man was banished from Snake Mountain by Skeletor, who had grown weary of his constant failures. A bitter Beast Man, feeling useless without the power of Snake Mountain behind him, set out to prove his worth by capturing King Randor on his own and bringing him to Snake Mountain. Although he succeeded in capturing the king, when He-Man came to the rescue he was subjected to Skeletor's wrath one more time and admitted back into his ranks purely because Skeletor needed someone on which to vent his fury. Despite this, Beast Man admitted it was "nice to be home."

Beast Man used Shadow Beasts as his primary henchmen, as they followed his orders without the need for mind control. His ability to control animals was not absolute, however. For instance, he could not control Cringer, Battle Cat, or Panthor. Beast Man was often teamed up with Trap Jaw, with the two of them occasionally striking out on their own.

Beast Man later encountered She-Ra when he assisted Skeletor in a plan to kidnap Princess Adora, calling her a "pretty princess" as he carried her to her cell. He later used his power to great effect to assist Skeletor in overthrowing the Bee People.
