Roger Sweet, the guy who created the He-Man toy and thus the character. I don't know if he created some of the other MOTU characters.

I remember back when He-Man was considered ripped, but around today's Mr. Olympias he would be considered skinny. Indeed, they added more muscles on him in modern incarnations (cartoons) so that he looks ugly and deformed.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Not sure about that.

Idk, it's like one of his legs could be a whole He-Man

Btw, this reminds me of Oliver Sacks, who at one time held a record for strongest legs that could lift some record weight. He also claimed that at some point some bodybuilders get such strong muscles in their legs that they break their leg bone, but I don't think that is possible.

It actually can happen during powerlifting. It’s called an avulsion fracture.

And I withdraw my earlier objection. 😲
