Hades - Toon Hades (Patreon)

Welp, it's done guys! The design for the new-coming villain for NRG's Hades: God of the Dead. This here is the Aesop Animation's animated version of Hades from their adaption of "Orpheus and Eurydice", referred to by NRG heroes as "Toon Hades".

From Aesop Animation's reimagining of the classic greek mythology "Orpheus and Eurydice" in their classic 90s renaissance movie, the Aesop adaption of Hades was portrayed as the primary villain. And while has gone on to become one of the most notable and recognizable Aesop villains, he also serves as the primary, shining example of how mortals wrongfully depict Hades as an antagonist in most media adaption purely due to being deity of the dead and underworld. Hades, and especially his wife Persephone, had hoped that their efforts to help avenge wayward souls in the underworld as well as their charitable efforts in aiding the mortal world would changing their public opinion of Hades. What they did not count on was Aesop's Hades joining Simon Say's efforts in the destruction of the humans during the invasion of the human world. When the toon Hades realized his real-life counterpart was alive and real in the human world and not just a legend of mythology, he decides to strike out on his own and achieve true godhood by overthrowing his real-world heroic version and replace him as the true god of the underworld. The two have since become reoccurring foes to each other, with Toon Hades' own animated powers proving formidable against the real Hades and being a shining example of how the difficulties between humans and cartoons affect not just Toonman, but other heroes in the NRGVerse.

How's that for a cool idea for a villain for Hades, huh? Let me know what you guys think of Toon Hades with a comment below!
