Storyline
In Eternia, Zodac attempts to warn Prince Adam about a death he has foreseen. Skeletor searches the Dark Sea for the missing half of the Power Sword. On Earth, Superman follows three energy spheres underwater, where he is pulled into a vortex. Superman arrives in Eternia, and is faced with Skeletor, Beast-Man and Mer-Man. Superman gets one half of the Power Sword away from Skeletor, but Skeletor attacks with the remaining half. He-Man arrives and picks up the fallen half, hurling it at Skeletor. The power of the sword disintegrates Skeletor. He-Man dies but is revived by the sword's energies.
