THQ could be making a game about none other than the most powerful man in the universe, He-Man.

His fabulously camp battles with arch enemy Skeletor fall under the Masters of the Universe licence, which was one of a handful granted to THQ in a new deal inked with toy-maker Mattel.

Others include Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fisher-Price, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, Monster High and Polly Pocket.

For now, THQ is only committing to Barbie, Hot Wheels and Fisher-Price games.

All platforms, from consoles and their online distribution services to PCs, mobiles and handhelds are mentioned as potential destinations.

THQ also plans to adapt various Mattel brands for uDraw, its Wii pen and tablet drawing peripheral. Pictionary, released last year, was the first fruit of this now cemented relationship.

A He-Man game in the style of Darksiders would be really cool

by the power of greyskull!!! awesome!! last one was... bleh..

Cool... hopefully they make a good Darksiders or GoW style game with a unique animation style, great platforming, puzzles, sweet bosses, and AAA quality.

I just wwatched the first episode of She-Ra on Netflix a few days ago.  He-Man is pretty damned gay.  I remembered this show being a lot cooler as a kid.  If you want a good laugh at some unintentional homosexuality, watch it with the volume turned down.

Why was I watching She-Ra, anyway?  Oh well.

Hey I LIKED the early-2000s relaunch. The original show was stupid, and it wasn't intentionally stupid in a self-aware way, either!

Now we are doomed for real! Not even Patcher can save us this time.
