Well, it was never much of a secret:It's almost too easy: Prince Adam, He-Man's alter ego, is a ripped Nordic pageboy with blinding teeth and sharply waxed eyebrows who spends lazy afternoons pampering his timid pet cat; he wears lavender stretch pants, furry purple Ugg boots, and a sleeveless pink blouse that clings like saran wrap to his pecs. To become He-Man, Adam harnesses what he calls "fabulous secret powers": His clothes fall off, his voice drops a full octave, his skin turns from vanilla to nut brown, his giant sword starts gushing energy, and he adopts a name so absurdly masculine it's redundant. Next, he typically runs around seizing space-wands with glowing knobs and fabulously straddling giant rockets. He hangs out with people called Fisto and Ram Man, and they all exchange wink-wink nudge-nudge dialogue: "I'd like to hear more about this hooded seed-man of yours!" "I feel the bony finger of Skeletor!" "Your assistance is required on Snake Mountain!" Once you start thinking along these lines, it's impossible to stop.

That explains allot.
Just leave Thundercats alone. I don't want to hear about Cheetara's polyandry with Tygra, Panthro and Lion-O. I know those twins came from somewhere, but I don't want to know. (Especially is Snarf was in the picture.)
Snarf and Cheetera. Thank you, John, for that very unwelcome mental image.
John,
Talk about unwelcome mental images. A ripped Nordic superhero with lavender pants, pink blouse and furry boots? I need to go eat some red meat and watch a John Wayne movie to get all of this out of my head.
Just so long as the rest of the comic-sphere is left alone. I don't need to know about the smurfs before Smurfette, or where the little smurfs all came from and how there wound up being only one female in that bunch too.
And the guys are right about Thundercats.
Maybe pick on Voltron for a while.
Peace,
DC
Baby Smurfs are brought by the stork during a blue moon. They had a couple episodes explaining it in detail.
