four seasons of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. This version of Hordak is a defective clone of Horde Prime, who served as his top general before being sent on a suicide mission when his body began to fail him. He crash-landed on Etheria after falling through a portal into the otherwise empty Despondos dimension; there he created his own branch of the Horde in an attempt to conquer Etheria in order to prove his worth to Horde Prime. He also tries to create a portal that will allow him to summon Horde Prime after the conquest is complete. During the first season, Hordak's patience is tried by his second-in-command, the sorceress Shadow Weaver, as he considers her obsession with bringing back Horde defector Adora a distraction from their goal. He promotes Catra to the rank of Force Captain, grants her extra authority, and then, when Catra's attack on the rebel stronghold of Bright Moon nearly succeeds, appoints her as his new second-in-command. Throughout the second and third seasons, Hordak gradually begins to lose faith in Catra's competence, and he falls in love with engineer princess Entrapta, who becomes his research partner on portal technology and his first real friend. When the portal device proves unstable and nearly destroys the planet, Catra tricks Hordak into believing Entrapta betrayed him, and exiles her to cover her tracks. Although the portal is destroyed by She-Ra, it sends a signal to Horde Prime, who pin-points Hordak's location. In the fourth season, forced by Catra into accelerating the conquest of Etheria, Hordak begins to take a more active role in the war and enjoys a series of military victories. When Hordak learns the truth about Entrapta's exile, he attacks Catra, but she defeats him. Horde Prime's forces arrive at Etheria after the planet is freed from Despondos and Hordak is teleported to his ship. Disgusted by his clone's independent actions, Horde Prime wipes Hordak's mind and sends him away to be "reconditioned". In the fifth and final season, Hordak is reintegrated into Horde Prime's clone army, but his memories begin to return to him after finding the First Ones' crystal Entrapta gave to him and later when encountering Entrapta herself. In the series finale, he turns against Horde Prime and regains his independence to protect Entrapta, but his body is taken over by him. After She-Ra disables the Heart of Etheria and stops Horde
