Throughout his over-40-year TV and film career, He-Man has had many different iterations.
In his human form, the character is the most vulnerable, but no less courageous.
That said, this is his weakest form by default in every iteration of theMasters of the Universe franchise.
His transformation also is slightly less drastic than in other shows.
He was certainly very strong and a master swordsman, but he didn’t feel invincible.
In fact, he struggled in many of the battles and showed signs of injuries as well.
He did prove himself against the powered-up version of Skeletor though, showing that he was a worthy warrior.
The He-Man of the 1980s was all-powerful and just.
This shows that the only person who can defeat He-Man is himself.
He relies on his instincts instead of brute force only.
This He-Man is controlled and poised, as well as brave and honorable.
