I’ve often considered the possibility that Amadeus was son of Athena Parthenos (i.e., Athena the Virgin), but, therein lies the problem–she couldn’t be considered Parthenos anymore because, well, you know, conceiving children requires certain “interactions”. Then again, considering how Athena herself came into being, it’s not entirely impossible, now, isn’t it?

Also, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that the reason Zeus had all these affairs wasn’t to hurt Hera, but because he received a prophecy that one of his children would save the world. I bring this up because what if Amadeus really another son of Zeus, and thus the brother of Athena and Hercules? Athena clearly had foreknowledge of Cho’s existence hundreds of years before his birth, remarking “even if, one day, Heracles should fall… …there will come another” (see the page 31 of Herc’s origin story, Inc. Herc. #126. Pictured is Amadeus riding his Vespa with Kirby tucked in his jacket). Another what? Another of Zeus’ mortal children? Is Amadeus one of those children? I, for one, am looking forward to the revelation of the true relationship between Amadeus, Herc, and Athena.

My theory is that he is somehow Aeolaus reborn…

My theory is that he’s Athena’s kid and Herc’s cousin, I don’t remember Matthew’s theory tho.

So what do you think is the connection between Cho & Herc really is?

The issue was great, I love how Herc and Cho just accept whatever situation they’re in with little question. Be it going in a spiritual ship to kills Gods or entering a casino to go to Tartarus.

“Orka, Iron Monger, the original Abomination, Scourge, Commander Kraken” + Artume, Baron Zemo, the Centaure he killed way back then, Veranke the Skrull queen, Jack-o-Lantern. Crap, still missing 2.
