Hello all!
This is my concept for a Hellenic inspired Super Hero (wonder woman, aquaman style)
I intend to go with a bulwark archtype.
I need to work a bit on his background, but long story short, he will find a relic (spear) which will imbue him with demi god powers.
The spear was created by a sun deity Helion, that imbued it with his power and threw it to the mortal realm before he perished against a dark foe.
Colours will be obviously Gold/Bronze and Red.
Isn't that sun-god 'Helios'?
Be Well!

Why, yes, I AM a Mythology geek.
Yes. Like I said it is inspired by Greek mythology.
But since this is not "Earth" I went with Helion based on this:
A Helion meteoroid is a meteoroid that arrives from the approximate direction of the Sun. They are thought to originate as debris from sun-grazing comets.
Fits the theme.
Who're the evil ones in the Greek mythology? They don't have ice giants or any analog do they?

To my knowledge, the Greeks did not have a class of 'evil ones'. There were hideous monsters, often genetic experiments of the Gods, gone wrong. Like the Norse, they had 'the Eaters', Giants and Cyclops that ate people. They had Titans that ate their own children. There were ordinary people who the Gods drove mad - more as a general hazard than as 'evil-ones'. Kings and Queens, similarly afflicted by the Gods, did/ordered many awful things.
Even their god of Death and Afterlife Suffering was not a 'bad' person, but just had a rotten job that he tried to do well. The heroes kept sending him terrible people, and Hades had to find a place to keep them secure, plus devise various impossible tasks/situations for them to deal with, in order to earn redemption. Nobody ever escaped Hades, because the King/Judge of the Dead always managed to attach some gimmick that killed then again, or otherwise yanked them back to the Underworld.
Nope, the Best and the Worst in Greek myth were children of the Gods. Horny-horny Gods.
Be Well!
