The Power Sword is a fictional weapon featured in the Masters of the Universe multimedia franchise. It was an accessory that was included with both the He-Man and Skeletor action figures from the 1983 toy line by Mattel, as well as the mini-comics that accompanied each action figure. In the original canon, the Power Sword was actually two halves of a much stronger weapon. He-man owned one blade, while Skeletor wielded the other. Skeletor sought to unite both blades in order to achieve ultimate power. The Power Sword first appeared in the original He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon series in the episode, "The Cosmic Comet". In the show, the Power Sword was a single item, and was not split between opposing forces.

The Power Sword was primarily wielded by Prince Adam in his heroic guise as He-Man. It was a gift betrothed to him by the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull. Prince Adam used the Power Sword to channel mystical energy, which enabled him to change into He-Man and back again. The sword was also highly durable, and practically unbreakable. It could deflect multiple magic blasts from either Evil-Lyn or Skeletor's Havoc Staff.
