He has the Power?

The Sun is reporting that Brad Pitt is being considered for the upcoming role of He-Man.


I remember that as a kid, He-Man was one of the first in a series of many programs that I did not get to watch since my family lacked even the most basic cable. Unlike many parts of the country, not having cable where I grew up was pretty much unheard of (I only knew one person and I didn't meet her until 7th grade).

This cable t.v. rejectionism that my parents subscribed to, (no pun intended) was not so much a financial issue, but rather some sort of confluence of neo-aesetic Catholicism and progressive 70s era child psychology. My mother is not a big believer in the idea that having fun is in and of it self a virtuous pursuit and in fact once when I pressed her a couple of years ago she readily admitted that she felt suffering to be a very critical part of the human condition.

Anyway, for some reason after pleading for months my parents gave in and bought me the Castle Greyskull (sic?) for Xmas. It even came with a Man at Arms (which apparently was the guy's actual name). Anyway, the thing cost $100 from what I recall, and I played with it for about an hour.

Can any of you guys remember what He-Man's alter-ego's (pictured top left) name was?
