More from He-Man’s Dean Stefan, part 2

“He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” story editor Dean Stefan talks about the most interesting, and most difficult characters to write for on the show. The first 13 episodes are available now on DVD. The second 13 episodes of “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” are set to come out on DVD on May 27.

Matt Price: When you were reviving these characters, who was the most interesting, that you hadn’t expected to be?

Dean Stefan: Two-Bad, in a way, because we originally had him in the pilot and then we took him out because we wanted to do an origin. So we made him two separate characters, two bounty hunters. And then we decided to fuse them at the end. Skeletor punishes them. That was kind of interesting, the way that we stumbled on the idea to do that. As far as just the characters fun to write for, I would say Teela and Evil-Lyn, I really enjoyed the women characters, because you don’t often get to see them in that kick-ass role. And Evil-Lyn was definitely the most complex, she was very duplicitous, you knew she would turn on Skeletor in a minute, and she was probably smarter than him.

MP: And she’s extremely powerful in the pilot.

DS: We kind of were able to justify that by saying she can only do this occasionally. If she did this she would have to save up for a while, her power, because obviously if she could go nuclear anytime that would be very powerful. So in our minds she was powerful but there were limits.
