Webstor as seen in the Filmation animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
History[]
Webstor was introduced in the first produced episode of the show's second season, The Cat and the Spider. Voiced by John Erwin, he is given a memorable introduction appearance as a cunning and stealthy thief who is able to sneak into the Royal Palace with ease, as well as providing deadpan humor with his amusing retorts to Skeletor's jibes. Like most of the other villains introduced at the same time like Kobra Khan, Clawful etc., he seems to possess slightly greater intelligence and responsibility than the generally bumbling villains of the show's first season.
In all of his subsequent appearances, Webstor is paired with Kobra Khan, the two of them working together. The first of these episodes, Disappearing Dragons, showcases them as an independent duo and the main villains of the episode, concocting an entire plot of their own totally independent of Skeletor. Khan is clearly the leader of the two in this episode, although Webstor is given more screen time in a later episode Journey to Stone City in which they accompany Evil-Lyn on a secret jungle mission, again independent of Skeletor. The pairing of these two characters is later used in the She-Ra: Princess of Power series in the episode Battle for Brightmoon, which forms part of the movie The Secret of the Sword, which again showcases Webstor's ability to sneak into the palace.
