The scenario: Hera and Eurystheus conspire yet again to destroy Hercules. Since Herc lost his super-strength following the Chaos War, both Olympian masterminds take total advantage of his mortal status. With the help of Wilson Fisk, aka The Kingpin, Hera and Eurystheus devise a new diabolical way to torment the former demigod. They create a whole new set of 12 Labors for Hercules to complete. He must run through 12 lesser powered, but equallydeadly villains - experts in guns, blades, explosives, and martial arts - in 12 different neighborhoods and landmarks of New York City. Herc must battle each villain starting in Coney Island, Brooklyn, all the way up to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
Will Hera, Eursytheus, and the Kingpin succeed in destroying the mortal Hercules once and for all??
"Have at THEE!!!"
RULES - Each villain will have their own original arsenals and powers
- In keeping with current continuity, Hercules will NOT have his Olympian powers (i.e. super-strength, stamina, durability, and immortality). He will be armed with his current arsenal, including the Arrows of Heracles and the Sword of Peleus. I will sweeten the pot by NOT including the Shield of Perseus. With its ability in turning individuals to stone, it's way too simple of a kill, no? Herc will, however, be wielding the Aegis (let's say the hero Aegis lends Herc his weapon to use as protection against bullets and other projectiles). Let's not ignore Hercules' millennium's worth of warrior experience. He will need all the melee fighting skills against this rag tag bunch of killers!
- Herc has NO MORALS, along with--
- Comical knowledge of his enemies
- Approximately 1 hour of rest and prep time
- No assistance from his friends, sidekicks, or colleagues (except for Aegis giving him the aegis)
- BLOOD LUST IS DEFINITELY ON, for all fighters mentioned
