True, in spite of his size, speed and power, he is more of a strategist than a fighter and he would probably send his parademons first. However, in this case, the parademons would be busy fighting what is left of the Great Rebellion.
Like her brother, He-Man, She-Ra is known for her incredible strength. She is addressed as "The Princess of Power" and on multiple occasions considered "The Most Powerful Woman in the Universe". Many times she has been shown to be able to lift not only full-grown men and robots, but also mountain-like rocks and buildings. She-Ra is often shown successfully attempting feats deemed impossible by other characters. Episodes of the original cartoon also depict her as being able to swim at a far faster rate than is humanly possible.[citation needed]
Whether there is a limit to the length of time she can remain in her heroic form before she reverts back to her original form of Adora is unknown, however there have been occasions in which she has been forcibly transformed back into Adora, implying that her powers do have limits to them.
Her physical prowess is not limited to strength, however, and she is also depicted as being extremely fast and acrobatic.
On the other hand, again, like He-Man, She-Ra as a character is largely non-violent and usually only resorts to combat as a last resort, often preferring to outsmart her adversaries; her most violent actions typically consist of body throws. As per broadcast standards of the period, in the Filmation cartoon, He-Man & She-Ra were not allowed to use their swords as offensive weapons, nor were they allowed to directly punch or kick anyone. She-Ra was only allowed to destroy robotic enemies, which were her primary foes.
Aside from her physical powers, She-Ra also demonstrated a series of other abilities which appear to be more nurturing in nature, as opposed to her brother's more aggressively-based powers, such as empathic understanding and mental communication with animals.
She-Ra's primary weapon is her Sword of Protection. This is similar to He-Man's Sword of Power. The sword gives her the ability to transform from Princess Adora into She-Ra and back via the powers of Castle Grayskull, by saying, "For the Honor of Grayskull... I am She-Ra!" However, when she was a member of the Horde, she used laser weapons. Her sword is apparently almost indestructible and able to deflect bolts of energy, both magical and technological, as well as to project beams of energy from the stone in its center. However, in one episode, the stone in She-Ra's sword becomes damaged, causing her to be unable to transform into She-Ra. Her brother He-Man's sword never suffered this weakness on-screen, which could mean that either both swords had a specific weak-point or that She-Ra's sword was inferior to He-Man's. The sword also had transmutation abilities--upon command, it would morph into whatever She-Ra required at the time (i.e. rope, chains, fire, shield, net, space helmet, etc...) Originally She-Ra's headdress transformed into a mask, aiding in protecting her secret identity. However, in the cartoons, this was done away with, and instead She-Ra's voice and longer hair worked to distinguish her two identities.[citation
