Is that a beard or a chin strap? Even as a kid, it was obvious that there was some Frankensteinian mixing and matching going on. A lot of this stuff made more sense on Skeletor or Stratos. He was described as an &#8220;Evil Cosmic Enforcer&#8221; but on the cartoon he was aloof, but nice. Good guy? Bad guy? Zodac? Zodiac?Just throw out a bunch of random character traits and let the kids sort it out for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The characters Zodac and Masters of the Universe are tm and copyright Mattel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I read a pretty cool Zodac vs. Hordak (turns out they&#8217;re brothers) comic book today by Keith Giffen.
