The Mighty Hercules

THE MIGHTY HERCULES WAS A GREAT CARTOON. MADE BY TRANS LUX CARTOON STUDIO. THE SHOW CONSISTED OF THE HALF-GOD/HALF-MAN BATTLING EVIL DOERS IN ANCIENT GREECE. (DING!)

THE STORY HAS HERCULES ASKING HIS FATHER ZEUS IF HE MAY LIVE WITH THE HUMANS SO THAT HE MAY HELP THEM. ZEUS, REMINDING HIM THAT IF HE GOES TO EARTH, HE WILL BECOME MORTAL & LOSE HIS STRENGTH, MAKES HERCULES A RING THAT WILL GIVE HIM HIS STRENGTH ON EARTH. AND SO, HERCULES LEAVES MT. OLYMPUS & JOURNEYS TO EARTH WHERE HE MEETS A WOMAN NAMED HELENA. HELENA IS THE FOCUS OF MANY OF THE TOONS, USUALLY BEING KIDNAPPED BY THE BAD GUY.

LATER, HERC MEETS A CENTAUR NAMED NEWTON, (THE JIMMY TWO-TIMES OF THE MYTHICAL WORLD) WHO ALWAYS REPEATS EVERYTHING HE SAYS LIKE, "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO HERC? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?". HE BECOMES HERC'S BEST FRIEND ALONG WITH NEWTON'S PUCK FRIEND TOOT (WHO TOOTS A PAN FLUTE INSTEAD OF SPEAKING)

THE MAIN BAD GUY IN THE SHOW IS DAEDALUS. AN EVIL WIZARD WHO CONCOCTS SCEMES TO RID THE WORLD OF HERCULES SO THAT HE MAY TAKE OVER THE WORLD. SOME OF HIS IDEAS ARE:
THE WAND OF MEDUSA-WHICH CAN TURN ANYTHING TO STONE (EVEN A CLOUD WHICH DROPS ON HERCULES)
THE CHAIR OF FORGETFULNESS-WHICH WIPES THE MEMORY OF ANYONE WHO SITS IN IT
THE FRUIT FROM THE LAND OF GIANTS-WHICH TURNS DAEDALUS INTO A GIANT HIMSELF
AND MANY OTHER THINGS SUCH AS THESE.
ANOTHER VILLIAN IS WILLAMEAN WHO IS BASICALLY A FEMALE VERSION OF DAEDALUS.
