Fair point. One of the major ongoing plot points in Masters of the Universe is Skeletor trying to take the Power Sword and use it as a key to Castle Grayskull, though. Also, unlike a generic sword, it's a hugely important artifact in the mythos. I could see making it a permanent glyph instead of an equipment glyph and/or saying he can't lose it by taking wounds, though, and then give Skeletor a glyph stealing power. Under the current model, though, Skeletor has to work for it a bit more, and it's not like scoring 2 wounds at once on a 6 defense figure is easy.

Well it was my impression that deflecting energy/laser blasts was something he did all the time with his sword, but I'm having trouble validating that impression with visual evidence. This is the closest I could find on Google:



And that's clearly more absorbing the blast than deflecting it. So maybe that portion should be cut? @Spidey'tilIDie can help me figure out if my impressions are truly off here.

If we do cut it and do keep the sword as a glyph, +2 to attack and nothing else isn't much to have on said glyph.

Given that it's an entire universe where the toys were made first and then writers came in for cash, rather than love of the story, and filled in the details of the story, it's a pretty inconsistent universe. His power has certainly been shown at different levels, which is why I'm not truly married to getting him on Superman's level, but he's definitely suped up compared to Conan and has legit Super Strength.

I think Supes could probably take him, though:





C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
