The problem with power
It was shown to Adam that if he would never stop being He-Man, he would grow to become a cruel, ruthless, hedonistic king who ruled Eternia with an iron fist. Due to his cruel nature and villainous nature, he drew the ire of his own sister, She-Ra who attempted to slay him to save the world. Unfortunately, it was revealed that her attempts to save the world would be moot, as Adam's reign would bring about the end of the universe as a whole.
