Team two, actually quite easily. 80s He-Man wasn't that powerful. He had one instance of moving a planet but other feats were much lower and wildly inconsistent. In most instances he didn't move planets. Skeletor never did anything that put him on a par with a Doctor Strange-level wizard, at least not that I know of. I heard that Skeletor with help from Evil-Lynn controlled a comet, but a Strange-level sorcerer should have Death Star-like firepower, in fact greater power than that. Gods are not always the most powerful characters in the show but few people aside from the Allfather are mightier than Thor or Loki.

it's an old dc presents--#47 i think. skeletor uses a magic whammy on supes and controls him to fight he-man. it's a brief battle, but he-man is certainly in pre-c supes' class--in that issue anyway.
It's a non-fight between PC Supes and Adam. Read the 'spek thread for details. It tells us nothing.
Though the other side, that He-Man lacks feats, is also untrue. Both of the Eternians have passable respect threads to dispel the fog for anyone interested.
I love everyone in this fight. Though I'll side with team Marvel. He-Man and Skeletor have feats that can put them at or near the other duo, and their best feats are actually fairly equal, but there's also a lot more low showings for them. Beyond that, the Asgardians have mobility/flight advantage, and in theory the Sword of Power > all kinds of things, but in feats Mjolnir is slightly > than Adam's sword.
If we get clever and say it's the Skeletor/He-Man that each have half of the Sword of Power, you might be looking at a suddenly universal-level threat if they combined them into the total package. But at base levels, team Marvel takes it.

yeah, it was pretty much a non-fight, but it served to show that he-man and supes were at least in the same class. who knows how it would have turned out--supes has speed and versatility over him, but in strength, it was made out to be at least fairly even.
He-Man can match strength with anyone. That's kind of his thing. And actually has enough reaction feats to say that most herald-ers wouldn't be running circles around him. The Sword has displayed energy blasts, so he's not without at least some ranged options, but lack of flight hurts, and the energy blasts aren't anything special. Most mid-herald-or-above characters who use their powers wisely (i.e. forum battles) should pull out a win.
Skeletor's all over the map. Herald-level wizard? Street-level coward? You could find scans to justify either. Which is why I endorse the Marvel duo....a bit more uniformity to their power continuity.
Some of the links in his spek thread are broken, and it doesn't have a ton of his stuff, but there's enough to get a general gauge.
