Zodac () is a fictional character, a cosmic superheroic entity in the Masters of the Universe mythology. The spelling varies between Zodac and Zodak in different sources (until the two were later defined as separate characters). In a unique curiosity of the Masters of the Universe franchise, portrayals of Zodac vary considerably from medium to medium since the franchise began in the 1980s, leaving many confused over the character. The fact that in the original line and accompanying animated series's run, the character was very seldom used, added to the mystery surrounding him even further. The general representation of Zodac is that he is a neutral character, a cosmic enforcer who participates little in conflict but can aid either the heroic or evil sides in their hour of need. However, the original 8-back release of the figure has his title as "Cosmic Enforcer", and in later re-release it was changed to "Evil Cosmic Enforcer", and this representation filtered through to a few other versions of the franchise. The design and character of Zodac is heavily influenced by the New God, Metron, created by Jack Kirby for his Fourth World comic series. Fictional character biography Pre-cartoon era Zodac was one of the first characters to be conceived by Mattel in the development of the Masters of the Universe toy line, and was released in 1982. Created by Mark Taylor. Mattel's original idea was to have two female action figures Sorceress and Teela. But a later change had Mattel only release one figure Teela, with the ability to change her armor on and off to be used as different characters. So Zodac was last-minute addition. Original B-sheet design by Mark Taylor describes Zodac (with early name Sensor): "Sensor: Man of the Future. Scientifically heightened senses, knowledge & weapons. Acts in support roll [sic] to He-Man and as a foil to Tee la's mystic nature." His action figure is tagged as a 'Cosmic Enforcer' and his action figure, despite being generally human in appearance, was given claw-like feet and hands, a standard trait of the line's evil characters. Original 8-back packaging also describes him as "Cosmic Encorcer" which appears in promotional toy-adverts and mini-comic crossell inner art. The character was originally to be named Sensor, and was always intended to have the "evil" limbs. Early Mattel 1981 Licensing Kit has Zodac described as "The Cosmic Enforcer. The bounty hunter of our exciting universe."
