Cringer, born in those same jungles, does not join him until later, unrevealed events.
Adam is an imposing, if irresponsible, warrior who is granted the power to become He-Man while defending a jungle village from Damon. The Paul Kupperberg comics published by DC introduce Prince Adam and Cringer as the alter egos of He-Man and Battle Cat. If this was not a mistake by artist Alfredo Alcala, it indicates that Cringer either did not exist in that timeline or that he could somehow change into Battle Cat by himself.ĭC Comics Main article: Battle Cat (DC Comics) In the story " Masks of Power", Battle Cat is shown together with Fisto and Prince Adam. At first there is little indication that Battle Cat is anything more than a trained beast, but in The Terror of Tri-Klops! he converses with the other Heroic Warriors as if he were human. Because of his role as He-Man's steed, his appearances are limited by the need to feature the other modes of transportation from the toy line, such as the Battle Ram and the Attak Trak. Glut and Gary Cohn, Battle Cat is simply a wild animal that answers when He-Man calls out to him in the woods.
