Teela - Minicomics

Minicomics

Teela is presented in the earliest media as a heroic "warrior goddess," a capable female fighter—one imbued with the spirits of great warriors of the past—who roams the deserted landscapes of Eternia atop a unicorn. In a fashion typical of 1980's cartoons, she was portrayed in a leotard. The second-wave minicomic The Tale of Teela explains that, twenty years earlier, Skeletor captured the Goddess (a.k.a. Sorceress, also named "Teela") and made a clone of her using an ancient artifact. His plan was to raise the child as an evil version of the Goddess. However, the clone was rescued by Man-At-Arms and grew up to become the warrior Teela. After the second wave of mini-comics, the concept of Teela being a clone was abandoned, with her instead becoming an abandoned child who was adopted by Man-At-Arms, highlighted in the 1983 animated Filmation series. Only in the Masters of the Universe Classics toyline that launched in 2008, were elements of the clone storyline concept reintroduced, albeit on a much reduced basis.
