Plot
Many years have passed since Skeletor and his evil warriors were defeated and banshed by He-Man, Prince Adam has become King since his parents Randor and Marlena's retirement and Teela his queen. One day whilst visiting the Sorceress at Castle Grayskull, Adam is told of a prophecy that requires him to go to the Mountains of Fire to seek out a young boy who will inherit his sword of power. Meanwhile Skeletor and his evil warriors escape from their imprisonment and learn of the prophecy and set out to find the boy, they find him-a savage raised by a wild bearcat-and convince him that He-Man is responsible for the death of his parents. As Skeletor begins to teach the boy the ways of evil, He-Man arrives and makes him see reason and together they drive off Skeletor and his minions.

Adam then takes him back to the Palace where he and Teela adopt him as their son and name him Dare. Adam is at first reluctant to pass on the sword, but after a battle where Skeletor tries to make him choose between giving Dare the sword or saving his kingdom. With the help of Zoar the Sacred Falcon, Dare transforms into He-Ro and his bird friend Craven into Battle-Bird and begins his quest to protect boy Grayskull and Eternia from Skeletor and his evil forces.
