Stealing Darth Vader's Signature TK Grip:

Creates three globes for him, Beastman and Merman to travel in under water and through the air.

Causes the power swords in Superman's hands to cause him pain; when He-Man shows up later, Skeletor has defeated Pre-Crisis Superman off panel.

Here he one blast kills He-Man; who was comparable to Pre-Crisis Superman at the time, besides that he gets stabbed through the chest, converted into energy and fed into He-Man by He-Man's power sword to heal He-Man from death and he shows up later on in other issues. So being effectively destroyed, eaten and digested can't keep him down for long.

http://img76.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img76&image=S15.jpg

Though later on in another story he blasts He-Man with everything he has using his power sword and all it does is momentarily stun He-Man but this is a respect thread so best feats right?

Here he strikes Castle Grayskull hard enough with the power sword to shake all of Eternia and rip a hole in the dimensions.

Here he blasts a superman flying at him with his power sword, sending him flying unable to stop himself, he also managed to do it before superman gained any ground after dropping off beastman and starts flying towards him. Not a sign of super reflexes but decent ones. Though the magical nature of the blast is at least partially responsible for the effect.

http://img49.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img49&image=P11.jpg

Here he dodges He-Man's axe and does a spell that controls Superman; a spell linked to will power, when Skeletor gets briefly distracted Superman is able to reclaim his body again. So Skeletor's will is slightly better than Superman's, a being who has one of the strongest wills there is. It's also the fight between Superman and He-Man, a strength feat for skeletor as he breaks out of his stone prison and a teleporting feat for skeletor, a four in one kind of deal for feats.

Admitably He-Man doesn't come off to good to Superman but he seems to have been holding back (for two reasons, going by what happens with zodac and how He-Man wouldn't be trying to kill his ally, though considering he came at Superman with his axe thats kind of in doubt but the first thought is a good one) and Superman was forced to be going serious at him so we know he can at least take a couple blows from Superman and not be knocked out.

Here's a scan from the Zodac/He-Man fight to back it up.

Here He-Man gives Zodac an actual; non holding back hit and Zodac just gets up and in affect says "You think this is over, think again chump, its just begun" and He-Man stands there slack jawed because no one has ever just shrugged off a blow from him before and while this was a serious blow it wasn't all out hard as he could get.

This is his second appearance; the issue after his fight with Superman by the same writer and less than a month later.

Here he opens a hole to another dimension in an attempt to get into Castle Grayskull; it would have worked if Trap Jaw hadn't fallen into the one time hole and ruined it for Skeletor in the other dimension.

http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=Menace010.jpg
http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=Menace020.jpg

Here he sends a blast of demon heads/energy at Trap Jaw who sends them back and Skeletor just swats them with the sword, interesting blast and a decent reflexes feat albeit not super human.

http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=Menace070.jpg

Here he grabs trap Jaw and disappears in a cloud of smoke

http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=Menace080.jpg
http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=Menace090.jpg

Here he uses the gem of the caverns to focus his pyschic energy so he can lift the Talon Fighter from the castle; which attempts to keep it by grabbing it with energy hands and he manages to take it from the castle.

Not really a great pyschic feat but an indication he has TK powers, which he has shown already with Merman.

Here he has an army of Orcs (not called that but thats what they look like) attack He-Man's castle.

http://img84.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img84&image=Power04.jpg

Mind Control's Teela into coming outside the castle.

http://img83.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img83&image=Tale01.jpg

Here he creates an energy shield

Here he uses a spell to see elsewhere

http://img83.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img83&image=p01.jpg

Here he opens a hole and walks through it to where Ram Man is.

http://img83.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img83&image=p03.jpg

Here he takes control of Ram Man.

http://img83.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img83&image=p09.jpg

Here he teleports in with a puff of smoke

http://img85.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img85&image=p04.jpg

Here he summons a demon; He-Man manages to fight it off with a few whacks of his axe and some help from Teela. Pretty tough but not the best of the best I suppose.

Here he manages to out Plot Damon; a sorcer who had thought he was manipulating Skeletor into getting the talismans so he could use them to enter Eternia but it was Skeletor who manipulates him, not letting him know he knew of his plot the whole time, intially pretends to let Damon beat him, manipulating him so they could fight near the castle and the release of energy would allow him to enter it.

Here Skeletor talks about his past, also backed up by Zodac thinking about Skeletor at another moment; if you can't read it here's what it
says, also in preview page 13 he erects a force field:

Skeletor: I have traveled the length of the multiverse wrecking havoc...bringing terror where ever the shadow of Skeletor's boot fell across the cowering populace. Billions of souls...Countless worlds, universes beyond counting, all have fallen to my might!

"By all that is unholy how can this be! How can simple wall of stone and masonary defy one who has conquered universes!"

Zodac:...Risking the wrath of forces even he does not quite comphrahend in the name of conquest of yet another world!

Albeit not quite as grand as Skeletor's but it does imply that he has conquered multiple worlds.

How He-Man reacts on hearing Skeletor's name:

"Skeletor; and were he not the great He-Man he would gasp in fear, as he is He-Man he barely represses a shudder."

When your arch nemesis practically pee's his pants at hearing your name, and your nemesis happens to be a pre-crisis level opponent, than thats pretty impressive.

Skeletor has a tendency to use items ancient items of power or some such thing, here's what the DC version found.

The Magic Syphon which could have stolen all the magic from Eternia

Here's a Feat Thread for Mini-comic/non DC Skeletor.

Here he uses the sword to track down mystical emanations, he then brings the creature back to life and under is control.

http://img82.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img82&image=0119.jpg
http://img82.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img82&image=0219.jpg

Here he opens a portal and has an image of his face appear in it.

http://img71.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img71&image=p07.jpg

http://img84.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img84&image=Roboto02.jpg

Here he teleports off in a cloud of smoke.

http://img84.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img84&image=Roboto07.jpg

Here he reads a language so ancient; that its own people hasn't used it in a thousand years and no longer understands it. He looks at it and reads it.

http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=0112.jpg

In Snake moutain he makes a force field that He-Man can't break with his normal strength.

http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=0417.jpg

Here Skeletor survives getting blasted about fifty feet back and survives getting punched out of sight.

http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=0715.jpg

Here he casts a spell which puts Adam in manacles that get tighter the more he struggles and even as He-Man he had to call on extra power to break them (It was an extreme power up).

http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=Fists03.jpg

Here he does an energy blast at He-Man; not impressive just shows he can do it on his own without weapons or items if needed.

http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=Fists07.jpg

Here Skeletor shape changes from one old man to normal form.

http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=Terror04.jpg

Here he summons two warriors from different times to work for him (The time barrier was weaker than usual but the sorceress drawing on the three towers could only gaze into the time stream).

http://img73.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img73&image=Search02.jpg

Here he conjures up an image to see whats going on elsewhere.
