Biography

Andre/Hercules is the son of the Greek God Zeus and the earth woman Mrs. Payne. He was the second child of his family and perhaps due to not knowing who his father was he gravitated toward the gangs in his community. While his older brother Calvin became a police officer to make his community better he grew into a well-known gang member. Due to the differences he and his brother had a very strained relationship [Grim Fairy Tales Presents: Godstorm Hercules Payne #1]. After his brother is killed during a botched gang meeting he meets his real father Zeus in an ally and has his powers unlocked. Hercules also comes to the attention of Venus the Olympian goddess of love who has a long-standing feud with Zeus [Grim Fairy Tales Presents: Godstorm Hercules Payne #2].

  1. Gangs, really? OK whatever. But are there any greek monsters he will fight? I mean come on, you gotta have more going on with a black Hercules! I can help if you want, seriously!

  2. Interesting….A modern day re-Imaging of Hercules…..but what most people don’t realize Is that the Greek Hercules was a taken & developed Into what you all know from an actual African legend, known as Herracles!- So things have come full circle…..
