Responded to a disturbance at UCLA that brought together the first roster of Champions
Hercules was, perhaps, the pivotal factor determining the Champions formation as it was his enemy Pluto who attacked him while he prepared to give a seminar on Greek Gods and Myth at the UCLA campus. When Pluto's minions attacked Hercules, he was not alone in facing them. Fellow former Avenger the Black Widow, the Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze) and two former X-Men, Angel and Iceman were all in the vicinity and came to the aid of the endangered mortals and Hercules, too. Hercules and his newfound friends were able to eventually defeat Pluto, along with other Olympian threats like Ares and Hippolyta. The five of them then decided to stay together as a team of superpowered heroes/adventurers and called themselves "The Champions!" Unfortunatley, the team was short-lived in duration due to a lack of chemistry and cohesion amongst it's members. However, it was during their time as Champions that Hercules and the Black Widow began a passionate romance which lasted well after the team had disbanded.
