History

Faker was a magical being created by Skeletor to serve him as an evil version of He-Man. Faker was an exact physical replica of He-Man, with the only physical differences being his glowing eyes and hollow-sounding voice.

Skeletor used Faker to lure The Sorceress out of Castle Grayskull by pretending to be the real He-Man, suffering pain from an injury. After a quick fight with the real He-Man, Faker charged at him and fell into the bottomless abyss of Grayskull, never to return, despite Skeletor's claims about recovering him.

Behind the Scenes

• Following his plummeting into the bottomless abyss in The Shaping Staff, writer Paul Dini wanted to bring Faker back and eventually have his skin tone change, making him into a Bizarro sort of foe, but without the broken speech, but he never realized his intent.
