In Ancient Greece, during the time of myth and legend, there was a great hero born to the king of the gods, Zeus, and his name was Hercules. Now when Hercules was born, the god of the underworld, Hades, was in the process of hatching a long-term plan to take control from Zeus. As careful a schemer as Hades is, he learns that when Hercules grows up, he'll be the only one that can stop Hades' take-over. Since you can't kill a god, Hades sends his underlings, Pain and Panic, with a special potion to make Hercules mortal--and then they can kill him. They succeed in making him mortal--although Hercules retains his super-human strength--but they are stopped before they can kill him. Hercules, now stuck on earth, must prove himself to be a true hero before he can return to Mount Olympus to be with Zeus and the other gods.
