The Protector, also known as the New Ascalon and the New Sword of Protection, is a weapon that first appeared in Legends of Tomorrow. The sword is a perfect lookalike of the original Sword of Protection, allowing its wielder the same abilities possessed by She-Ra and the wielder of the Ascalon.

Qualcosa di vecchio, qualcosa di nuovo[]
Azmuth was inspired to create the Protector when Adora denied the Ascalon to her daughter Aurora, who was not confident in leaving a weapon of such power in the hands of a ten-year-old. Azmuth set himself the goal of developing something similar that was faithful to the ideals he had set himself with the Omnitrix.
