For those deep in the lore, Despara is one of the most compelling and complex characters to emerge from the Masters of the Universe mythos. First introduced in the DC Comics continuity, Despara is the dark alter ego of Princess Adora, brainwashed and raised by Hordak to become a ruthless Force Captain of the Evil Horde. Long before she reclaimed her identity as She-Ra, Despara was feared across the galaxy, clad in imposing black armor and carrying out Hordak’s will with chilling precision. Official images have been revealed and they are stunning!

As a loyal servant of the Horde, Despara is known for her formidable combat skills and dedication to Hordak. She comes with:

• Interchangeable heads with Adora face and Hordak-style mask  
• Plastic cape includes holders for her two swords 
• Also equipped with body and skirt armour 

The last time we saw her was in the Classics line, and now we’ve brought her to the Origins line in time for the 40th anniversary of She-Ra: Princess of Power. Which is fitting, since (spoiler alert!) Despara was born as Princess Adora, the alter ego of She-Ra and the twin sister of He-Man, who helped her discover her true identity.  

She also comes with a mini comic entitled Phantoms of Despara!
