10 Great Alternate Versions Of Popular TV Characters

7. Faker (He-Man & The Masters Of The Universe)

Faker Appearing in the early Masters of the Universe episode called "The Shaping Staff," Faker is very different to the blue, clearly robotic interpretation that came with the franchise's toyline. Faker appears as an exact physical replica of He-Man, created by Skeletor, with the same skin tone and armour as the real He-Man - the only physical differences being glowing eyes and a hollow-sounding voice. The reason for this was primarily due to the artists at Filmation being able to cut costs by reusing He-Man's character model rather than drawing up a new one. He is presented as a magical creation rather than a robot like he is in the toyline, appearing only in a five-minute sequence in which he is used to lure The Sorceress out of Castle Grayskull by pretending to be the real He-Man suffering from an injury. After a quick fight with the real He-Man, Faker charges at him and falls into the bottomless abyss of Grayskull, never to return for the rest of the series.
