The 86 version lifted and tossed The Castle of Greyskull from a different dimension. He had a portal to help, but that's still better than anything Lion -O has done strength wise. He also has super speed, where he can run fast enough to create tornado's.
HeMan is a warrior with greater strength, speed and skill while Lion-O is a cub with the sword of omens.
Anyways...
He Man is superior to Lion-O in every way.
But the sword is also a plot device. Remember when it did the fighting for him against Excalibur? And in the new toon, the jewel in it's hilt is supposed to be some kind of super weapon designed to drive off alien fleets, and in addition another jewel gives him a force field in his claw shield.

Still, why use it? Dude has moved a planet, hurled mountains, and all sorts of nonsensical stuff. There are other feats to reference.
That's why I asked not to use it. There's always one or two who focus on it, when he has tons of other feats.
Anyone here read the long running Marvel comics series? Or even those cool mini booklets that came packed with toys? 😄

Daredevil stats? O_o
Panthro can do that, and Lion O beat him in a test of strength. 😛
Plus, he pulled a decent sized starship down to the Earth, when a bounty hunter who beat Mumm Ra tried trapping him.
Granted, that's nothing compared to He Man's strength feats, but well above street level.
As for my original point on the 2003 toon vs the 2012 toon, I agree Lion O's finished if He Man catches him. But, He Man has to catch him:
All Lion O needs to do is avoid being hit/grabbed, and blast away with his sword (Remember, in the new toon the stone was originally powering an anti starship weapon, and Lion O can blast away with those beams as much as he wants.)
