A mash-up of the early-’80s superhero and his fantastical friends and enemies performing a dance version of 4 Non Blondes’ early-’90s hit “What’s Up,” the video and song arrangement were created by SLACKCiRCUS, a Fort Worth production company co-founded by Jay Allen and Ryan Haines.

SLACKCiRCUS didn’t create “Fabulous Secret Powers” to make money, Allen said. “Classic Media Inc. owns all the rights to the He-Man footage, so nobody can make money directly from this video except them,” Allen said in a statement. But in 2007, the video brought SLACKCiRCUS in contact with a major video game developer. “They asked us if we’d be interested in doing some original animation for their game,” Allen said. “Fast forward two years, and we’d both quit our salaried jobs to do SLACKCiRCUS full time, creating trailers and specialized animation for video game clients. So I owe my current career to that video.” Allen has personal reasons for releasing the song now. “Ir
