Snake Face is the name of a member of the Snake Men, villains in the Masters of the Universe franchise, who has the power of turn people into stone. His power and appearance make him look like a male version of the Medusa.
[edit] Early appearances
Snake Face first appeared in the minicomic "Revenge of the Snake Men", where King Hiss summons him and Sssqueeze from the dimension where the Snake Men are trapped. Snake Face's powers are the main focus of the comic, since he uses them against He-Man, Extendar and The Sorceress (who disguises herself as Queen Marlena). He-Man uses his Power Sword to revert the effect and, not long after that, in a battle in Viper Tower, He-Man turns all the Snake Men into stone, by reflecting Snake Face’s power of petrifaction back at them. Snake Face also appeared in the minicomic "Energy Zoids", where he transforms Rotar into stone to capture him and later make him fight against the new Evil Warrior, Twistoid. Snake Face also appears in the Marvel MOTU comics, first in issue #8 where he is depicted as a member of the Evil Horde, and later he makes a cameo in issue #12 as a member of the recently arrested Snake Men.
[edit] 2002 series
Snake Face also appears in the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series, along the Snake Men. He appears much less than the other Snake Men and in an early encounter his power is turned against him. His stone body is subsequently seen in the Eternian prison but is not released by the end of the series.
