It's mainly a type dependent on version situation. The Skeletor from the 80's cartoon, for example, completely fails PE because of how silly he's taken. In most of the episodes, he would team up with He-Man to fight off the bigger threat.

But in the comics, Skeletor is played far more seriously. He's worse than a tyrant, he conquered universes and left nothing behind but destruction and despair, and he's wanting to obtain more. In the 1987 film, Skeletor succeeds in obtaining the power of Eternia and almost becomes a god for existance itself to fall under his control, first by torturing He-Man and his friends, including innocent human civilians. In the 2002 cartoon, Skeletor causes a war between the Andreenids and Avions just to get free access to the Andreenids' supply of Ambrosia. He even almost sacrifices his most loyal minion to get assistance from demons of Hell.
