He was recruited to help bolster the Horde&#8217;s ranks after Tytus and several other giants from the Mountains of Perpetua allied themselves with King Grayskull. Megator was killed during the first Ultimate Battleground, caught in the iron jaws of Central Tower when the Three Towers were enchanted to sink into Sub-ternia. His remains were discovered millennia later by King Hsss who magically reanimated him into a mindless zombie. He served King Hsss and fought against Hordak and the Masters of the Universe in the Second Ultimate Battleground &#8211; once again dying on the battlefield.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And then Man-E-Faces&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"newsimages\/matty\/manefacespkg.png\"><\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Man-E-Faces<\/strong> &#8211; <em>Human&#8230; Robot&#8230; Monster!<\/em>, <strong>Real Name<\/strong>: Perkaedo<br \/>Perhaps the greatest actor on Eternia, Perkaedo, the Master of Disguise, performed before King Randor and Queen Marlena at Prince Adam&#8217;s 18th birthday celebration. It was here that he drank a magic potion, created by Skeletor, that transformed him into a terrible monster with great strength loyal only to evil. With the help of He-Man and the Sorceress, Perkaedo was cured from this transformation, but the process left him forever split between not just two but three personalities. He now uses his powers to protect justice in his greatest role, as Man-E-Faces, the man who is three warriors in one&#8211;fighting as a human, robot, or monster. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Other than these bios needing a wee bit of grammar editing, these are two bios in good standing. Megator leaves me just a tad confused &#8211; is the figure representing the mindless resurrected version of Megator or was he always green and freaky? If this is him as a zombie than he doesn&#8217;t really pair off with Tytus, but I don&#8217;t really care. If he was always green and freaky, then&#8230; well, I&#8217;d really hope that second accessory is a zombie head! That&#8217;d be sweet.<\/P><\/p>\n<p>His bio has some great story bits in it. He&#8217;s trapped in the towers as they sank into the ground! That&#8217;s awesome! And thinking of him as a mindless zombie millenia later just makes me really regret not having more fiction to go along with these. Can you imagine what was going on with Hordak when Megator started whomping on Horde forces in the present day? Or He-Man when he saw this vanquished foe return in a much more savage and grotesque form!? The possibilites&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Man-E-Faces is decent enough, but I have a hard time thinking of much to say about it. This is his mini-comic origin, and it works, but it doesn&#8217;t really explain the robot face. Even the grammar inadvertantly calls attention to that as the &#8220;not two, but three&#8221; transition is awkwardly written. Anyway, I&#8217;m marking this one serviceable as I&#8217;m still excited over Megator&#8217;s bio. Oh and Perkaedo? It seems like it has to be an anagram or some piece of MOTU trivia that I&#8217;m missing. Odd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These bios have been added to our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsalltrue.net\/?page_id=5677\">Sortable\/Searchable Bio Page<\/a> at MOTUClassics.Com<\/strong>.
