NOW Noelle Stevenson wants to take a shot at He-Man

At least for the Christmas Special... Seriously, it's like whenever I say something Good about that show, they need to give me more ammunition to hate it.

"I'm going to keep pitching this until it happens," Stevenson began. "So, it's He-Man, and it's this awesome, powerhouse, very anime, cool style. Then She-Ra is all poppy colors, and they're both in their style, and they both come together for a She-Ra/He-Man Christmas Special, and Santa will come, and they'll decorate the tree, and teach Skeletor to love. It's gonna be great."
They're trying to ride the coattails of MOTU Revelation, which to me is a huge mistake SINCE it hasn't even started yet. (Also, Clashing styles Idea by Stevenson is not a good thing. Especially since she loves shitting on the 80s version.) IF a crossover is made, it should somehow stick to ONE style... (I shiver at imagining the DW She-Ra characters in a decent art style) But, the "Christmas Special" would be better suited for the DW She-Ra style.

IF this crossover were to happen, I fear He-Man's characterization more than I fear his design. I almost expect him to behave like a cross between Sea Hawk and Karate Kid's Johnny Lawrence...
And for the sake of a challenge, I made a quick MS Paint doodle on what his outfit COULD Look like if he was made in the DW She-Ra style.
It's CLEARLY inspired by She-Ra herself, which makes sense if He's her twin brother and his power stems from the same place. Hence the Shoulders and bracers being similar.
He's wearing a wrestling unitard inspired outfit, to fit with the whole Ridiculously strong man that He-Man is. Also, since Noelle seems to have some hang-ups with High School traumas, the Wrestling Unitard would make him a Jock. "The Harness" is not really a harness, but a pattern on his unitard that mimics the Harness, just as the grey bits on his pants mimic She-Ra's skirt.
His boots are meant to be Uggs, but they should look ridiculously small on his "Roided Jock" look.
The Circlet is a nod to wrestling headgear, She-Ra's Tiara, and a subtle reference to Saint Seiya. (A previous iteration of this idea had longer pants, which made He-Man look a bit TOO Seiya-like.)
The sword is literally She-Ra's but I drew over a More Vintage Power Sword look on it.
Last but not least, his har should look like a longer version of Zabka's hair in Karate Kid.
