Is He-Man based on Conan or Kull? So it's time to do some analysis of both Conan and Kull:
Kull- Born from Atlantis. He was the forerunner of Conan and he established a great kingdom after fighting the forces of the wicked sorcerer Thulsa Doom (the literary one). He fights the snakemen of old. Most likely, He-Man's precedessor He-Ro was based on him. He also fought the wizard Ram-Amon who was later adopted into the Conan cartoon.
Conan- He is a Cimmerian, descendant of Kull. He didn't fight Thulsa Doom in the novels by Robert E. Howard but he did in the comics adaptation. His archenemy was the snake lord Thoth-Amon (who Wrath-Amon was most likely based from) and he later became king by his own hand after killing the King of Aquilonia.
Apparently, He-Man is mostly Conan and his forerunner/ancestor is based on Kull. However the fact that his archenemy was Skeletor and not King Hiss, makes a little more of Kull reference but He-Man like Conan descended from a great and mighty warrior. Thulsa Doom did fight Conan a lot in the comics too.
