Masters of the Universe, Icons of Evil: Trapjaw

    (CrossGen, 2003)
™ and © Mattel

Another title from a series of one-shot comics that explore the origins of the villains in the He-Man universe.

The mutinous Kronis confronts the evil Skeletor, telling the skull-faced general that he has very little faith in Skeletor as a leader, and for his rebellion, Kronis is tortured and banished. Kronis soon unites an army to confront Skeletor’s forces, but ultimately, he must face Skeletor mano-a-mano—losing in a devastating battle that results in his mutilation and transformation from Kronis into Trapjaw. It’s an ugly, visceral tale, but provides some nice background to the Masters of the Universe’s gallery of rogues.
