Tri-Klops

Tri-Klops was one of the first characters to be designed for the Masters of the Universe toy line.

According to the line's creator Roger Sweet, he was originally designed as a Heroic Warrior but wound up packaged with the evil characters.

The first story to feature him is the Mattel mini-comic "The Terror of Tri-Klops", which introduces him as a near-match for He-Man in terms of strength, summoned by Skeletor when he decides he needs a warrior with strength on par with He-Man's.

He is presented as a skilled hunter and swordsman, and also a handy spy given that his helmet enables him to see all around him and thus be able to spot all attacks from behind.

One of his eyes possesses night vision while another possesses Distavision, enabling him to see over great distances.

The third varied in different stories, sometimes said to allow him to see through solid objects, and on other occasions said to enable him to see around corners.

As well as his optical abilities, Tri-Klops is also an expert swordsman, and this skill alone makes him a formidable opponent.

Also to note is that in his early mini-comic appearances, the character's costume is significantly different from the familiar figure version.

Many of the characters' visual details varied in the early mini-comics, but Tri-Klops is one of the most extreme cases.

Although most of the Evil Warriors were presented in the mini-comics as being somewhat smarter than their later animated versions, Tri-Klops in particular is suggested to be a very cunning and formidable warrior.
