…and I’m asking myself “Self, wasn’t SHE RAH HE-MANS girlfriend?? Was this true or am I delusional?”

I _believe_ she was He-Man’s half sister. And I think it was just Ra, not Rah. Could be mistaken on both.

Nope, supposedly She-Ra was He-Man’s sister (or at least Prince Adam’s.

He-Man was never shown to have a girlfriend (most guys who wear furry bikini briefs and have a cat don’t, but draw your own conclusions) despite the constant prescence of the scantily clad Teela, Scorceress, and Frosta (why did every woman on Eternia dress like a cross between an aerobics instructor and a Las Vegas showgirl?).

Doobieous has a pretty good spiel about how He Man is gay. I hope he comments here.

Nope, He-Man and She-Ra, as Prince Adam and Princess Adora were TWINS.

I personally liked Thundar’s (sp?) friend Ariel. . . .

She-Ra’s alter ego, Adora, did have a boyfriend – the Sea Hawk. He had a cool sword.

I know too much about She-Ra. I must hurl myself off a tall cliff.

I’ve got a She-Ra question for you.

What was the name of the character who dressed in green and wore a helmet? I looked for her in the action figure section of the She-Ra/He-Man page that Kilgore Trout posted the link to earlier, and I couldn’t find her. I know I had that action figure. The special feature was that you could turn her face around inside her helmet. She had a good face and an evil face. If memory serves she was a character with a split-personality who sometimes helped She-Ra and sometimes Catra.

_little cheerleader hop cause I feel useful now_

That is **Double Trouble**. She’s a Janus type with two faces (literally). She’s a double agent, though, not a split personality.

I remember someone like this on Thundar the Barbarian. He was one of the wizards, and he had a nice face and a mean face. He was always a bad guy, though.

A velvet vest. The man was wearing a velvet vest. And what’s with those “Mr. Universe” muscle legs? Eeeeewwww!
