'''Stinkor''' is a [[fictional character]], a [[villain]] from ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]''. Labeled the "Evil Master of Odors," Stinkor is essentially a humanoid [[skunk]] whose [[special attack|superpower]] is the ability to release a [[toxic]] odor from his body that renders foes immobile.<ref name="Battle of the Fun Factories">{{cite news|title= Battle of the Fun Factories |

===1985=== |

Stinkor was first introduced in 1985 as an [[action figure]] from the ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'' toyline and came packaged with a mini-comic entitled ''The Stench of Evil!''. The Stinkor action figure had a semi-foul scent, giving it the distinction of being one of the few toys whose "action feature" was an odor. The Stinkor action figure was created by [[Mattel]] by re-using the mold of another villain in the Masters of the Universe line, [[Mer-Man]]. The only differences between the Mer-Man and Stinkor action figures were that Stinkor was painted black and white, had different chest armor and was chemically treated to smell musky.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://io9.com/12-insane-facts-about-he-man-and-the-masters-of-the-uni-1619470015|title=12 Insane Facts About He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe|author=Rob Bricken|work=io9|accessdate=20 November 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fastcodesign.com/1672873/why-this-vintage-he-man-action-figure-still-smells-bad-30-years-later|title=Why This Vintage He-Man Action Figure Still Smells Bad 30 Years Later|work=Co.Design|accessdate=20 November 2014}}</ref> |

Stinkor was presented to [[Lou Scheimer]] and other staff at [[Filmation]] for inclusion in the original Masters of the Universe cartoon series, but his questionable superpower kept him from ever making an appearance on television. According to Filmation staff, when the description of Stinkor was read out at a meeting of the story editors, all of them burst out laughing and vowed never to use Stinkor in any episode script. |
|||
===2002=== |
|||
In the [[2002]] version of the He-man cartoon, Stinkor's origin was finally revealed, marking the first time the character had appeared on television. Stinkor was originally a common thief named Odiphus and resembled a large house cat or [[mogwai]]. A chemical accident mutated Odiphus into Stinkor and gave him his horrible stench. Stinkor himself isn't immune to his own stench, and must wear an [[oxygen mask]] to breathe properly. Stinkor eventually incorporated into his breathing apparatus a way to control his stench into focused blasts and teamed up with [[Skeletor]] against [[He-man]] and the other Masters. |
|||
In the show's second season, the episode "Out of the Past" revealed further background to Stinkor's character. In a flashback sequence we saw Odiphus as a young boy, and it was revealed he was from a race of creatures called the Paleezeans, who populate a small village. Odiphus had desired to be a criminal ever since his childhood, and as a child betrayed his people by telling the invading warlord [[Prahvus]] where the Paleezeans kept their weapons. |
