Here is what Mattel had to say to Club Grayskull members: We’re bringing back a classic evildoer with explosive abilities. Think you know who it is? Here’s a sneak peek at this new addition:Additionally, from January 28, 2026, at 9:00am PT through January 29, 2026, at 8:59am PT, only Club Grayskull members can buy this item at MattelCreations.com, while supplies last. The clock’s ticking... Are you ready for our full reveal? Of course, they…
We have the Power!
I found out first from EBay, as I was browsing MOTU offerings, I saw the first post of someone offering Origins Blast Attack already 🙄
I wonder if he'll be an Evil Warrior or one of the Snake Men...
The original was Evil Warrior carded (as was the Style Guide) and showed him fighting the Horde, and yet his mini comic has him as a creation of King Hiss... I'd keep him as an Evil Warrior, personally. Quite often the Origins card art follows the original but we'll see. They certainly used 'evil' in the promo.

It's crazy to me just how much weight the minicomic had in messing with perception of him.
Like you say, his cross sell and style guide said Evil Warrior, the Marvel comics said Evil Warrior, the US Magazine comics said Evil Warrior, the newspaper strip said Evil Warrior and the Power Tour stage show said Evil Warrior...literally ONLY the minicomic said anything different, making it the aberration, not the rule in the vintage era.
All his modern appearances (few as they are) in Revelations and Injustice vs MotU went with Evil Warrior, so I'd say they'll stick with that.
But even if they didn't on the box...he's still going with the Evil Warriors on the shelf. Origins marketing shit didn't stop me from putting Kobra Khan with Skelly's team and it's not gonna stop me with Blast-Attak either. I'll just do what I always do a deposit package and minicomic in trash 😆
@evilwarrior In Classics his figure came with the Snake Men logo sticker prominently on the front.
I am quite aware of that fact. And I considered it irrelevant when I was specifically referencing the vintage era and the modern era of Origins and Masterverse.
But if you want me to address it...sticker or no, the bio even effectively says "he worked for Skeletor, King Hiss brainwashed him". So even Scooter is tacitly admitting the natural state of the character is "Evil Warrior". So he's a Snake Man with an asterisk at best. Like Man-At-Arms.
@evilwarrior Which is for the best, I think. His design is incongruous with the Snake Men faction anyway. That angle never made sense to me.
