[i][b]Masters of the Universe[/b][/i] (commonly abbreviated [i][b]MOTU[/b][/i] and sometimes referred to as [i][b]He-Man and the Masters of the Universe[/b][/i] or just [i][b]He-Man[/b][/i], after the lead hero) is a [[science fiction]] and [[fantasy]] American media franchise created by the "Mattel toy company":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattel in the early 80s.

Although featuring a vast line-up of characters, the main premise revolves around the conflict between the heroic [[He-Man]] and the evil [[Skeletor]] on [[eternia_(planet)|planet Eternia]]. 

Since its initial launch, the franchise has spawned a variety of products, including six lines of [[action figure]]s, four animated television series, several comic series, and a live action feature film (The "Japanese title":https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA/%E8%B6%85%E7%A9%BA%E3%81%AE%E8%A6%87%E8%80%85 is usually only used for the movie).

The first cartoon series was broadcasted from 1983 to 1985. It became extremely popular in several different countries. 

A second animated spin-off series called [[She-Ra Princess of Power|She-Ra: Princess of Power]] was released in 1985. It also became quite popular, but not as much as the first series. It was rebooted in 2018 as [[She-Ra and the Princesses of Power]].

Designer Roger Sweet claims to be the chief creator of He-Man and MOTU, although this is not officially acknowledged by Mattel and is disputed by some other contributors. The earliest storybooks and much of the original backstory were written by Donald F. Glut, while the final production sculpt of the very first 1982 He-Man [[action figure]] was done by Tony Guerrero.
