Together with his friends, (such as Teela; her father, a man-at-arms; mysterious Orko and his mighty friend/horse substitute Battle Cat), He-Man battles the evil Skeletor and his minions for control of the world, and, importantly, for the control, power and honor of Greyskull, the mysterious castle from which He-Man derives his powers.
