Blade

Blade is a mercenary, and one of Skeletor's evil warriors. He was a character created for 1987 film.

Masters of the Universe Live Action Film (1987)
Blade was a mercenary, and one of Skeletor's finest warriors. He was a swordsman of great skill, carrying two swords and an array of knives. He had a deep hatred of He-Man, and was eager to face him in battle. Blade was sent to Earth by Skeletor, along with Beast Man, Karg and Saurod, to find the second Cosmic Key. There, Blade faced He-Man in one-on-one combat, although he retreated with the others when Teela and Man-At-Arms arrived. Blade was then forced to return to Skeletor in disgrace, and begged for one more chance; Skeletor instead vaporizing Saurod, as Blade looked on in horror. When Evil-Lyn intervened to save the lives of Blade, Karg and Beast Man, Blade accompanied her back to Earth.

This time, the evil warriors succeed in obtaining the key and capturing He-Man, leaving his companions stranded on Earth. Upon their return to Eternia, Skeletor had Blade whip He-Man with an energy whip in the throne room of Castle Grayskull, a task Blade took great pleasure in.

Soon after, Man-at-Arms and the others found a way to return to Grayskull, and He-Man managed to free himself. Blade quickly engaged He-Man in battle once more, even as Evil-Lyn and the other warriors retreated. His ultimate fate was not revealed.

Comic book adaptation
In the comic book adaptation of the movie, Blade was drawn with yellow skin and with a large grilled mask over the lower part of his face. He was apparently mute, with no dialogue at any point, and was referred to by He-Man as "silent one."

Mini Comics
In the mini-comic packaged with his action figure, Blade was sent - along with Saurod - by the Evil Cloud to serve Skeletor. He was, again, defeated by He-Man.

Marvel Comics
Blade was seen in background scenes of the Marvel Comic series, where he was portrayed as a bumbling villain, as opposed to a master swordsman. He was easily defeated and captured by He-Man in issue #8 (and then swapped with Webstor due to an editing mistake in the issue). Blade became more dignified in the bad future shown in issues #12 and #13, where he was one of King Skeletor's generals alongside Evil-Lyn, Ninjor and Saurod.

Ehapa magazines
Blade's one frame of dialogue sees him bring a message to a love-drugged Man-at-Arms - telling him of the plight of Evil-Lyn - in an attempt to lure him in to a trap.

Masters of the Universe Revelation (2021)
Blade briefly appeared in the Dark Horse Comics comic book series that serves as a prequel to Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
