Possible Inspirations to Skeletor in He-Man

Skeletor I believe had several inspirations. Here are the possible characters that inspired him:

The evil wizard Thulsa Doom by Robert E. Howard- He fought both Kull and Conan in different eras of his life in the comics version since he never fought Conan in the novels. Like Skeletor, this guy is an UNDEAD sorcerer who uses force as means to control his troops. Thulsa Doom's personality was slightly used for the He-Man live movie.

Dr. Destiny- Actually it's all just appearance-wise.
