"Herc," the mighty son of Zeus is kidnapped from his Mount Olympus home and raised on Earth. The fiery figure behind Hercules’ disappearance is Hades, the hot-headed god of the Underworld who has grown tired of looking after a "bunch of deadbeats" and sees Zeus’ son as an obstacle to his plans to rule the universe. When Herc discovers the truth about his origins, he sets out to prove himself a hero (with the help of a veteran hero-training satyr named "Phil") so he can return to his mythological home.
