A fickle supernatural entity with abilities that make them theoretically the perfect spy; but are easily distracted, no real loyalty to the cause, and only sticks around because they’re fond of a few people?
Comedy gold.
Imagine.
Glimmer: “so what did you find out?”
Spy: “Rogelio needs to be more open about his feelings and clear about his willingness to listen if he wants his relationship with Kyle to go anywhere. They’d make a real cute couple but Kyle is so used to being pitied, Rogelio’s attempts at affection are being misinterpreted.”
*silent beat*
Glimmer: I meant about their plans.
Spy: Oh it sounded boring so I wasn’t paying attention,
*another beat*
Glimmer: *angry princess noises*
Angella: Now you know what it feels like to be on the recieving end, dear.
If Kyle does end up mutated into a monstrous form as I suspect/hope, Adora and Bow better feel darn guilty and haunted by it.
He totally would work as a cyborg super-soldier of the horde who betrays them to become a firefighter for the rebellion. I know its kind of a younger-character focused series but seeing an adult who’s decided to work to make sure no more generations of children again goes through what he did could be powerful.
(Did anyone else note that the adults and minors in the horde work side by side as troopers? That’s an interesting dynamic to explore.)
And works with my suspicion that later season will Have the horde acting more desperate and experimenting on their soldiers after too many losses.
To make things worse, lets make him be a father-figure to Kyle before he defects.
Its a gray area as the cartoon doesn’t have rights to He-man characters, but Snout-Spout first appeared in the She-Ra cartoon because the He-Man cartoon was over when his toy came out.
I predict something terrible will happen to our favorite background couple. Something horrendously heartbreaking.If Entraptra manages to stumble on some instructions for biological enhancement and translate them, not thinking about what Hordak might do with such knowledge…

Mantenna actually kidnapped a random kid named Kyle one episode, so it would be a fun mythology gag.
But I do think Kyle as Mantenna would turn to be the one doing the protecting from then on, as he gets the better powers out of the deal, while Leech can drain princess’s magic he would need to get close. I imagine Leech would also be self-conscious about lacking a tail.
Still the others would probably soon learn they can’t bully Kyle anymore.
“There is no Kyle. I am Mantenna and I will not be pushed around anymore!”.
Potential for feels all around.
Lonnie is going to also probably feel self-concious and maybe push herself harder as the only member of her squad not enhanced. (Or at least I couldn’t find any old characters she would be likely to get mutated into…)
Also another reason I predict this is because this picture with old Catra emits total Kyle energy.
