As a member of the Evil Warriors, Webstor is one of the most cunning and intelligent villains from the Masters of the Universe franchise. His unique appearance, as a cross between a man and a spider, has cemented his place as a fan favorite and a force to be reckoned with in the world of Eternia.
Webstor’s story began when he was originally designed under the working title “Black Widow.” As a member of the Evil Warriors, he was known as the “Master of Escape” and had a pack strapped to his back that contained a long rope with a grappling hook at the end, which he used to help him scale walls and escape any trap. He also wore chest armor with the symbol of a black widow spider, which added to his intimidating appearance.
In the second season of the animated series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Webstor made his debut appearance in the 66th episode “The Cat and the Spider.” He was introduced as a cunning and stealthy thief who could easily sneak into the Royal Palace. This episode showcased his skills as an escape artist and his ability to outwit his opponents.
Throughout the series, Webstor was often paired with Kobra Khan, and they worked together on various independent plots, even going on a secret jungle mission with Evil-Lyn. He was known for his deadpan humor and intelligence, which were highlighted in his scenes with Skeletor.
In the 2002 relaunch of the Masters of the Universe cartoon series by Mike Young Productions, Webstor appeared as a freelance villain. He was still the same cunning and intelligent character, but with a slightly updated appearance. This version of Webstor continued to be a fan favorite, and his popularity continued to grow.
Webstor also made an appearance in the 2021 Netflix animated series “Masters of the Universe: Revelation.” In the series, Webstor’s character design remains faithful to the original toy line and animated series. Webstor’s appearance in “Masters of the Universe: Revelation” is brief alongside Spikor, Blade and Clawful, but his cunning and stealthy nature are fully on display. His portrayal is sure to delight longtime fans of the character, as well as introduce new fans to his spider-like abilities and clever tactics.
In 2023, the New Eternia Masterverse line will be releasing a new action figure of Webstor. This action figure will include removable chest armor, a backpack cover, head and hands, a grappling gun with grappling hook and zip line handle, and four additional legs that attach to his backpack. This updated version of Webstor is sure to be a must-have item for collectors and fans alike.
A new version of Webstor was leaked in early 2023 alongside a New Eternia Deluxe Whiplash, and a New Eternia Clawful. With the upcoming release of a New Eternia Masterverse Webstor action figure in 2023, fans can continue to enjoy and relive their favorite moments with this iconic villain seen as a brand new design. Webstor is by far one of the most memorable characters from the Masters of the Universe franchise. His unique appearance, cunning intelligence, and skills as an escape artist have made him a fan favorite.
