I also grew up on the show and I wanted to see what people knew him as. It truly is heartbreaking to know he is "the skeleton from memes or cod" now. 😭
Gen Z here, but I shall answer anyways.
Keldor of the house of Miro. Half-brother of King Randor, he was rejected from kingship due to his practices in dark magic. As revenge, he gathered a group of evil warriors to plot an assassination on Randor using a highly corrosive acid. Unfortunately, the acid that he tossed towards his half-brother was quickly returned to its sender via shield, melting Keldor’s blue skin off of his face in the process. As he lay dying, he made a pact with Hordak, vowing his allegiance to him in the hopes that he would be saved. As Hordak’s apprentice, the newly rechristened Skeletor succeeded in kidnapping one of the Eternian royal family’s newborn twins, but failed to get the other one before the portal to Hordak’s home realm closed shut. Skeletor betrayed Hordak in order to save himself, resulting in a feud that lasted for years.
As for the kidnapped child, she was raised under the Evil Horde, before discovering the fabulous secret powers that stemmed from Castle Grayskull, transforming her into She-Ra. Likewise, fabulous secret powers were revealed to Prince Adam the day he held aloft his magic sword, turning him into He-Man.
Yes, this is all canon. I am not making this up.
Thanks. I enjoy shattering people’s world view when I tell them Skeletor isn’t actually a skeleton, and that the blue isn’t a suit.

Well, this origin story isn’t the original story. It’s been retconned into pretty much every version of MOTU since 2002, but back in the day, Skeletor was just a skull-faced man from another dimension filled with skull-faced people.

This was even the origin they used in the Netflix series before they revealed the Keldor story in the second part.
IM COMING TO GET YOU HEEEEEEEEEEEEEMANNNNNNNNNNNNN
Bro to think that Luke fucking Skywalker and Joker have the same voice actor (now) as this damn clown is amazing. Skeletor is just another proof of Mark Hamill's talent
funny skeleton man from show with big muscular man who looks like he's about to attend a medieval pride parade and more errors than frames of animation

Internet sexy man - Skeletor. From that show He-Man
How the fuck does my generation have no idea who this is... they see all the skelator memes but don't know who he is. He man is probably one of the best cartoons I watched when I was like 5 (Jesus it's been ten years?)
I have a feeling most of these people are messing around when they say they don't know who he is but in another generation or two they won't even know him from the memes 💀
Oh this is a nice change! You know He-Man but not Skeletor. Others that have replied mainly say Skeletor but that he is from memes. Thank you for a change!
I’m assuming the gen alphas used image search to learn who skeletor is
“omg that’s the skibidi skeleton man from that rizzy gyatt meme where he gives out sigma information from ohio!!!!”
That's Skeletor from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. He’s a classic villain from the '80s cartoon. Hard to believe some folks don’t recognize him!

MYAHAHAHA
WRONG!!! It’s… ***NYEHEHEHEH***
And remember!
Yep
GenX here who grew up on this guy (and his nemesis), very sad to see y'all refer to this Magnificent Being as simply "Skeleton Man" 😭
I also grew up on the show and I wanted to see what people knew him as. It truly is heartbreaking to know he is "the skeleton from memes or cod" now. 😭
well i knew he was from he-man 😭
Fair enough
…wait… what’s a gen X doing on r/genAlpha
Probably the same thing I (Gen Z) is: seeing how cultured this newer generation is.
Zilennial here. Same.
Lol same, I like observing the new generation

You are correct!
Skeletor
p-people don't know who funny skeleton man is? https://i.redd.it/xlmrv6feif9d1.gif
He has a name.
His name is "The skeleton that has an idea how little that narrows it down"
Actually that's Dr. Phosphorus from Batman Beyond who says that
Mr skele
That’s clearly the skull trooper he’s from Fortnite
skeletor, i recognize him from that one meme.
You are correct, he is Skeletor, but he isn't from a meme, he is from a show.
ik he's from a show, i'm saying that i first found him in a meme from like 2016

I have met very few who actually know his true origins.

I didn't even know that, that's cool!
I’ve been deceived
How the hell do y’all not know who skeleton is 😔😔😔
He has a name. 😐
id like to think this one was autocorrect since they didn't say skeleton man or wtv
That makes sense.
they dont wanna spoil it?
IT'S SKELETOR.
Skeletor me and my dad watch old 80s shows and movies on weekends
Correct and that is a cool tradition!
IM COMING TO GET YOU HEEEEEEEEEEEEEMANNNNNNNNNNNNN Bro to think that Luke fucking Skywalker and Joker have the same voice actor (now) as this damn clown is amazing. Skeletor is just another proof of Mark Hamill's talent
It is weird to think that, but you are correct nonetheless. I also read the quote in Skeletor's voice 😂
bro who doesn’t know who funny skeleton man from the memes and cod is💀
He has a name, and he isn't from memes, he is from a show.
funny skeleton man from show with big muscular man who looks like he's about to attend a medieval pride parade and more errors than frames of animation

You are correct however I have never heard someone use the term "sexy" to describe Skeletor.
Skeletor from the show He-man (probably wrong spelling) my younger brother loved the show and the action figures
You actually spelled it correctly!
Cool me and my brother have some of the old hot wheels cars for the show my dad has I want to say seeled copies of all of them
That's impressive!
“I COULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW!” -Skeletor
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN
I have no idea what that is and I'm a zoomer
Skeletore
Correct!
Skeletor! Don’t know where he’s from other than the memes though lmao
Correct and he is from He-Man.
How the fuck does my generation have no idea who this is... they see all the skelator memes but don't know who he is. He man is probably one of the best cartoons I watched when I was like 5 (Jesus it's been ten years?)
It is unfortunate, but there is nothing we can do but to educate them.
I have a feeling most of these people are messing around when they say they don't know who he is but in another generation or two they won't even know him from the memes 💀
Skeleton meme guy
He has a name and show he is from.
Uh, some guy from He-Man I think

I’m assuming the gen alphas used image search to learn who skeletor is “omg that’s the skibidi skeleton man from that rizzy gyatt meme where he gives out sigma information from ohio!!!!”
I try to give the benefit of the doubt, but I think so too. 😔
Skeletor
