After 42 Years, Masters of the Universe Is Finally Revealing He-Man’s Greatest Secret

by

The world of Eternia, as seen in Masters of the Universe, has a long and mysterious past, including the origins of Castle Grayskull. Much of Eternia’s early history was lost during a devastating conflict between technology and magic, leading people to call that time simply “Preternia.” This era reached its peak with a war between He-Ro, the original He-Man, and the Snake Men. While glimpses of Preternia have appeared in time travel stories, its full story is now being revealed in the comic Masters of the Universe: The Sword of Flaws, created by Tim Seeley, Andrew Dalhouse, and Freddie E. Williams II.

A fierce attack by Skeletor’s army shook the planet Eternia, revealing long-hidden secrets within the Cairn of Pantheons mountains. The peak of Heavenpiercer mountain has cracked open, uncovering an ancient power sword from the age of Preternia. This sword, known as the “Sword of Flaws,” doesn’t have any power of its own – it actually takes power from everything around it. Even more concerning, it’s now stirring up powerful, forgotten forces from Preternia’s past.

The Ancient Secrets of Eternia Are Finally Being Revealed

Previous Masters of the Universe stories have offered small clues about Preternia, often showing He-Man traveling to the past and briefly seeing things like a brand-new Castle Grayskull or the hero He-Ro. However, The Sword of Flaws is finally revealing the full story of Preternia, showing that ancient Eternia was once home to incredibly powerful, god-like beings. These beings rested among the stones of the Cairn of Pantheons, but were ultimately forgotten after the devastation of the Great Wars.

With the ancient gods awakening within the Cairn of Pantheons, more mysteries are sure to come to light. The Sorceress and Orko are already journeying into the past to uncover the history of Preternia and the Sword of Flaws. However, a crucial secret may be surprisingly obvious: the cairns weren’t natural formations, but built by people. This suggests the gods weren’t merely sleeping, but were intentionally buried beneath mountains that were once massive burial mounds. The Sword of Flaws was then hidden at the very peak, a place only heroes like He-Ro or He-Man could reach.

The Sword of Flaws is shaping up to be a major He-Man story, diving into the history of Preternia, Castle Grayskull, and the Power Sword itself. It promises to be an exciting continuation of the He-Man saga, revealing secrets from the past.
