Regularly Appearing
Masters of the Universe Vol. 1, 2 & 3
First Appearance
DC Comics Presents #47 (July, 1982)

Note: Initially a line of action-figures produced by Mattel, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was spun-off into print and television media as a means of advertising.

Recognizing the popularity of their animated television commercials, produced by Filmation, Mattel ordered a first season of 65 episodes, which aired in the United States in 1983.  The cartoon would air 103 original episodes until 1985, and spin-off into two new future He-Man cartoons, and She-Ra: Princess of Power, a show more targeted towards girls.

He-Man was introduced in comics through a team up with Superman in DC Comics Presents, and a three issue limited-series was produced by DC in 1982.  Marvel Comics produced a twelve issue run under its Star line of comics, targeted at younger readers in 1986.  Image Comics began publishing a new line of Masters of the Universe comics in 2003.

Origin
Secretly a clone of Sorceress, the mystic guardian of Castle Grayskull, Tella was created by Skeletor to be an evil counterpart to her mother.  She was rescued and raised as a warrior for justice by her foster-father Duncan (Man-At-Arms), with no knowledge of her origin.

In addition to her duties as the captain of the guard, she trains the heir to the throne, Prince Adam, in the art of combat.  Little does she know that Adam is the warrior He-Man, and that she is destined to become the next Mystic Guardian of Castle Grayskull.
