London, England (WFN) -- Wheelchair-bound physicist Stephen Hawking is known as the "Master of the Universe" because of his theories about outer space. And soon, he'll be the subject of a painting which takes his fragile frame and transforms him into He-Man, the cartoon star of "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." Artist James Ford will begin his portrait on Hawking's birthday -- January 8 -- and plans to model it on the animation style of the 1980s "He-Man" cartoon. The painting will even be accompanied by a recording of He-Man's theme song recited by a computerized voice that sounds like Hawking's signature tone. Ford sees parallels between Hawking and He-Man because they both lead double lives: He-Man is a superhero whose alter-ego is a shy weakling named Adam, while Hawking is both a super intelligent scientist and a weak-bodied disabled man. Combining He-Man's body with Hawking's face and brain yields "the ultimate superhero," Ford says.
