The first mini-comics that accompanied the 1981-1983 line of Master of the Universe toys, state that Skeletor was originally an inhabitant of another dimension, populated with others of his kind. During "The Great Wars" a hole was opened in the dimensional wall and Skeletor was thrown from his world into Eternia. Skeletor planned to reopen the rift between his world and Eternia by unlocking the secret powers of Castle Grayskull. This would allow Skeletor's race to invade and conquer Eternia. This original story remained vague about Skeletor's people. What was Skeletor's status amongst his own kind? Did they all look like him or was he the only one with a skull face? Were they all magic sorcerers? Did they all share his evil dreams of conquest? None of these questions were ever answered. Of course this particular origin of Skeletor occurred in a different continuity from that of the better known animated series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
