Plot[]
Background[]
Coincidentally, Skeletor has just managed to escape his prison and learns of this prophecy. He and his associates find the boy—a savage raised by a wild bearcat—and convinces him that He-Man is responsible for the death of his "mother." Although Skeletor begins to teach the boy the ways of evil, He-Man arrives in time to make him see reason. He-Man names the boy "Dare" and brings him back to the Royal Palace, where King Adam and Queen Teela adopt him as their son.
Son of He-Man and the Master of the Universe[]
Adam is reluctant to pass on the Power Sword, but a final confrontation with Skeletor forces him to choose between losing his kingdom or sharing the sword with Dare. With help from Zoar, Dare uses the Power Sword to transform into He-Ro, and turn his companion Craven into Battle-Bird, beginning his quest to defend Castle Grayskull from the evil forces of Skeletor.
Personality[]
Dare has special abilities due to being raised in the wild, such as super-senses and the ability to communicate with animals. Whereas Adam and He-Man are presented as being the same age, Dare is an awkward thirteen-year-old while He-Ro is a mature young man.[1]
