Wrap-Trap (SPOP hypothetical reboot idea)
[A redo of the classics line character, ditching the romance aspect lifted from the the Mummy 1932. Actually the entire character was basically lifted gratuitously for this film.]
Wrap-Trap: The Magitech Mummy
“I remember when this desert was lush and green. When the woods were inviting and not overgrown. When there was...Harmony.
What have you done to this planet?”
Bow: You know I expected this to be grosser. But these bandages feel really comfortable and clean!
Wrap-Trap : *in a voice dry and raspy with the occasional hiss of radio static* They are self cleaning
A First One researcher who was part of a political faction who was worried about the “human factor” of She-Ra. He was tasked into turning the kidnapped She-Ra of his time into an obedient, immortal, nigh-unkillable perfect warrior;
Sadly for him the allies of She-Ra tracked him down and his lack of conviction made him hesitate and sloppy in dealing with the intruders.
He became a victim of his own researched procedures, either by accident in the lab led to the automated equipment in the ensuing battle, or intentionally by those wanting his blasphemy punished by a fate worse than death.
From what he believes found out about Mara, and seeing the state of Etheria, he is now convinced his cause was just, and with renewed vigor has set his sights on Adora.
But due to the war with the Horde this She-Ra is more closely watched than the last one he met.
And his use of First One’s tech could unknowingly attract the attention of Entrapta...
His methods to try and save his planet might end up leaving him in the service of those who care absolutely nothing for it.
Powers: Enchanted magitech bandages. Has the tools to manufacture and control more.
Skills: Advanced medical and technological knowledge
Minions:
Butterfly drones*
Medical assistant robots
* Yeah I decide to throw in one pre-western Mexican influences in there due to the Aztec Mummy films. Not really cultural appropriation due to how ubiquitous the love of butterflies is across history in central america. Besides, scarabs’s traditional symbolism don’t honestly work as easily on a planet without a sun. Sure there’s some theme overlap with Flutterina, a character who will eventually come, but it could lead to a fun Clash of the Butterflies.

Mummy Preparation and Mad science both have surgical connotations and thought fun to combine with the Horde’s Horror Movie roots from back in the 80s.
The original Mummy film had the mummy intentionally prepared in a blaphemous manner as punishment. And that’s easy to fit in with medical malpractice theme.
