"Fabulous secret powers were revealed to him the day he held aloft his magic sword-" Art of He-Man I drew in honor of the memory of Roger Sweet, the creator of the character. May he have the power, forever and always 💜

RIP Roger Sweet - His wondrous creations were a massive part of my childhood, and I deeply thank him for sharing his imagination with us. Condolences to his Family, Friends, and Fans. Rest well, and may you forever have The Power! #HeMan #MastersOfTheUniverse #MOTU

Roger Sweet, the creator of He-Man, has passed away. Your characters taught me about what true strength is and the importance of always doing the right thing. Rest in power, sir.

We just lost a true master of the universe... Rest in Peace, Roger Sweet.

The creator of the '80s action figure hero He-Man died Tuesday. Roger Sweet, a major toy designer at Mattel, suffered from dementia and died in a care facility. He developed the initial prototypes for He-Man in the late 1970s and early 1980s through a modification of some Big Jim figures.

RIP Roger Sweet, I know there's some debate as to whether him or Mark Taylor created He-Man; I say that it seems like there's a little bit of both of them there. MOTU was always the toys to me before anything else and we had that because of them

RIP Roger Sweet. He-man is objectively a weird and goofy creation and I love it so much.

American toy designer Roger Sweet, who founded "He-Man" and "Masters of the Universe," has died after battling dementia, his wife says. He was 91.

Roger Sweet was the creator of the He-Man toy. If it wasn’t for him, the cartoon wouldn’t have been the same. Mattel owes him a lot! Here’s the very first ever He-Man commercial, before even the acclaimed “first” commercial. Rest in Peace Roger Sweet! Your design is still iconic!

Thank you for everything Roger Sweet, may you rest peacefully

This is honestly very saddening. R.I.P. Roger Sweet.💔 You created a legacy with these characters.

Creo que no sobra señalar que Roger Sweet no es *EL* creador de He-Man, sino que era parte de un equipo creativo. Puntualización que no cambia el hecho de que Mattel ganó una millonada con su trabajo mientras él debía mendigar.

As a lifelong He-Man and Masters of the Universe fan, thank you, Roger Sweet, and RIP.
