In addition to his savage strength, Beast Man is the able to summon various wild creatures and command them to do his bidding. Beast Man is of relatively low intellegence and unlike Skeletor's other minions, such as Mer-Man, is completely sub-serviant to Skeletor, remaining his closest and most loyal henchman.
Beast Man was one of the first eight characters to be created for the Masters of the Universe toy line by Mattel in the early 1980s, and one of the first four figures to be completed and released (the other three being He-Man, Man-At-Arms and Skeletor).
Beast Man's first appearance is in the mini-comic He-Man and the Power Sword where he is depicted with red skin covered enitirely in red fur. In his next outing in Vengenge of Skeletor, he has become orange with only his armor colored red, matching the action figure.

Beastman was a childhood fave, certainly! I love that mini-comic illustration you included with Beastman swingin' thru the jungle- burned into my childhood memory!
ReplyDeleteI started collecting MOTU at the beginning way back in 1982, and I distinctly remember being a little let down when I finally got Beast Man and he didn't look like he did in the first Glute/Alcala mini-comic! They could have at least molded some toes on his feet! Lol!
