Fisto

Fisto is a fictional character in the Masters of the Universe franchise. He is a human-like Eternian warrior known for an oversized metal fist that serves as his primary weapon in combat. The gauntlet is presented as a formidable tool capable of delivering powerful blows that break through obstacles and defeat foes. Fisto is typically depicted as loyal, brave, and steadfast ally of He-Man, fighting alongside the Masters of the Universe to defend Eternia from Skeletor and his minions. In various media, his appearance includes armor and a prominent metallic glove that covers his right hand.

Fisto first appeared as an action figure released by Mattel in the early 1980s (1983) as part of the Masters of the Universe toy line. The toy featured a spring-loaded punching mechanism to simulate the character’s signature move. He subsequently appeared in the Filmation animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and in multiple comic book adaptations from DC Comics and other publishers, with variations in backstory across continuities.

In reception, Fisto is noted for his distinctive weapon and as an example of the era’s character design, combining fantasy knight imagery with a science-fiction device. Within fan communities, he is regarded as a memorable if somewhat obscure member of the original ensemble.
