Stratos (Masters of the Universe)

Stratos is the leader of a race of Bird People of Avion, who possess the power of flight and other bird-like abilities. The Bird People are close allies of He-Man, and Stratos is one of his most trusted warriors. Besides the power of flight and his aerial acrobatic skills, Stratos is also a handy spy for the Heroic Warriors due to his sharp, bird-like eyes. Stratos is unusual in the toy line because, like Moss Man, his action figure uses Beast Man's mould. Stratos' figure has a gray hairy body. Also, the mold had unusual "brass knuckles" on the right hand. In the minicomics, Stratos often fires lasers from this device, though it is not seen in other media. Mattel originally intended the character of Stratos to be evil, as is evidenced in early, unreleased promotional material for the toy line and a brief cameo in He-Man and the Power Sword.
