This live-action version of Skeletor was portrayed by Frank Langella. His design incorporated a dark robe adorned with silver accessories and a white-skinned, skeletal-looking face to give the actor more freedom of expression whilst retaining the appearance of a skull.
In the film, Skeletor succeeded in conquering Eternia and taking Castle Grayskull. Obtaining the Great Eye of the Galaxy, he absorbed the Power of Grayskull into himself, transforming into a god-like being.
He fought against He-Man using this immense power, but He-Man outwitted him once again and destroyed his Havoc Staff, returning the villain to his original form. Skeletor then lunged at He-Man, but the hero threw him into a deep pit where he supposedly perished. In a post-credits scene, it is revealed that Skeletor survived his fall. In this animated series, Skeletor travelled to the planet Primus in the far future after being mistaken for a legendary hero by two of Primus' defenders.
He-Man, the true hero of legend, would follow Skeletor to Primus and expose him, but the Overlord of Evil would soon ally himself with the evil Space Mutants.
Manipulating the Mutant commander Flogg , Skeletor would soon take charge of the Mutant forces and lead them in their efforts to conquer Primus and the Tri-Solar System. Not long after his arrival in the future, Skeletor would discover a magical crystal on the moon of Nordor. Tapping into its power, he become endowed with even greater power and strength, taking on a new appearance as well as he was enhanced with bionic armour.
In this animated series, Skeletor was once known by the name Keldor , a member of a blue-skinned humanoid race known as the Gar. Seeking to master the arts of alchemy and sorcery, his experiments led to his discovery of dark forces that existed beyond his own dimension. Pons Maar Saurod as Saurod. Robert Towers Karg as Karg.

Will they succeed? From a distant galaxy Action Adventure Fantasy Sci-Fi. Did you know Edit. Trivia Frank Langella went on record in an interview stating that playing Skeletor was one of his favorite roles.
His young son was a huge fan and was running around the house shouting "By the power of Grayskull," so he took the role for him. While this should come as no surprise, through the years the origin story of Skeletor has changed. When something goes through so many iterations in comic books, television cartoons, toy sets and even a movie, there will be changes.
However, the changes to the origin of Skeletor were drastic. In today's canon, he is the half-brother of King Randor.
However, when Skeletor first appeared he was a demon that came from another dimension. He learned about the power of Grayskull and wanted to use it to open a hole to his world, to bring his people to Eternia for a full-scale invasion. That was a solid sci-fi origin story, but making it more Shakespearian with the family ties ended up being a change for the better. Thanks to Dem Bones , everyone knows that the neck bone is connected to the head bone. However, Skeletor has no neck.
Sure, at some points, it looks like there is something there connecting it to his head, but there isn't anything there. He has no neck, so he shouldn't be able to talk and his entire head should fall off.
Of course, this could be attributed to magic, but that excuse only works sometimes and shouldn't be a catch-all explanation for everything. The reason that Skeletor has a skeleton for a face was that he had acid splashed in his face to melt the skin away, but that does not explain why his head is able to just float there above his body.
Most people who watched the cartoons know that He-Man has a power sword and Skeletor has his Havoc Staff. He-Man can use his Power Sword to summon the power of Grayscull to gain immense power. Skeletor can use his Havoc Staff to shoot mystic energy from it, giving him a nice weapon to fight back with.
However, that is not how things originally started. Skeletor had a Power Sword as well in the mini-comics. These were the books that came with the original Masters of the Universe toys and they showed that there were two halves of the Power Sword. The hero and villain teamed up to beat Trap Jaw by combining the swords into one, and then He-Man kept it for himself. The origin of Snake Mountain has changed throughout the years in the Masters of the Universe world.
This might be explained easiest by just saying that Skeletor is a liar. See, originally, the series claimed that Skeletor used magic to create Snake Moutain to serve as his home base and house his minions. He built the entire thing using his magic and that showed the immense levels of his power. That changed in when the new He-Man cartoon series showed that Snake Mountain was actually created when Serops, a snake god, was bound to land by the Council of Elders.
When King Hiss releases Serpos, he comes after Skeletor too because the villain was nothing more than a squatter, claiming Snake Mountain as his own. One of the most confusing things for Masters of the Universe fans comes in the form of Scare Glow. This evil being is a ghost who serves Skeletor. He is confusing at first because he has a solid body that is translucent and glows, but is supposed to be a ghost.
He also has a nifty purple cape and carries his own Scythe of Doom. What really threw off fans was that he was called the "evil ghost of Skeletor. Scare Glow first showed up in the toy line and could glow in the dark, a huge bonus for kids.
In his mini-comic, Skeletor called him for help from "space and time" and some fans thought he was the ghost of Skeletor from the future after the character passed. Skeletor hates almost everyone. He hates He-Man and all his allies and wanted nothing more than to conquer the world and bring it to its knees before him.
Skeletor even has a hatred for most of his minions, using them to pull off his dastardly plans but insulting them and seeming disgusted to have anything to do with the creatures. Skeletor ultimately managed to obtain the power of Grayskull for himself, transforming into a golden, God-like form. Although apparently defeated by He-Man, Skeletor would emerge from a pit at the bottom of Grayskull and swear he would be back.
Skeletor was portrayed by Frank Langella , who cited the role as one of his favorite roles over the years [1] , with Langella even writing some of Skeletor's dialogue himself. Skeletor was seen donning a new costume including an armored chest plate, cybernetic implants, and a cape and helmet. His Havoc Staff was replaced by the Skull Staff. In the Mini-Comics which came packaged with the toyline, Skeletor was forced to undergo cybernetic enhancements after he was gravely injured after witnessing He-Man's transformation.
Skeletor traveled to the future, joining forces with the Evil Mutants of Denebria and their leader, Flogg. He-Man also journeyed to the future, becoming an ally of the Galactic Guardians and the defender of the peaceful planet of Primus , transporting the eternal battle between the two enemies to a new location in the depths of space. The animated series saw Skeletor go through several different looks throughout the series, updating his armor to coincide with the different action figure variants in the toyline.
He was voiced by Campbell Lane. This version of Skeletor was a much more intelligent and manipulative character, with a sardonic sense of humor. At the end of the series, he engaged in a final battle with He-Man, who trapped him within a Shuttle Pod and exiled him into the far reaches of space. In the revival of the franchise and its accompanying animated series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe , Skeletor was revealed to have once been Keldor, a warlord who trained under Hordak.
He gathered a small band of warriors to attack the Hall of Wisdom, where they encountered resistance from Captain Randor and his officers. Keldor engaged Randor in a duel, where he was ultimately disarmed. Not willing to accept defeat, Keldor produced a hidden vial of acid from within his armor and hurled it at Randor, who blocked the impact at the last moment, causing the acid to splash back into Keldor's face.
Keldor was saved at the last moment by Hordak, who transformed his melting face into that of a floating Skull. Skeletor and his followers were imprisoned in the dark hemisphere behind a Mystic Wall for many years until Skeletor eventually brought it down with a device of his own creation. Skeletor quickly returned for revenge on the now King Randor, and sought out the Council of Elders, only to find they had disappeared. He soon made an enemy of He-Man and set his sights on the seemingly innocuous Castle Grayskull, believing, correctly, that that was where the Elders' power now resided.
He was voiced in the series by Brian Dobson. During an interview with fans on He-Man. The Masters of the Universe Classics toyline's packaging featured short character biographies that merged various elements from across the many different incarnations of the franchise, as well as newly developed information, to form a distinct new "Classics" continuity.
Skeletor, once known as Keldor, the half-brother of Captain Randor, was mortally wounded in battle with his brother and turned to Hordak to save his life.
Hordak merged Keldor with the extra-dimensional being Demo-Man originally, the planned name for the Skeletor character from Despondos.
