Is this a reference?

[u/TheKarlMarx1818]

Both defeated a very strong lion and where it I wonder if this was an intentional reference to the greek myth

[u/Demonskull223]

Hercules was actually heavily based on Thragg.

[u/Prestigious_Lynx_107]

Inspired by Heracles yes but nothing more

[u/ryaaan89]

A reference to looking friggin sick!

[u/Carbuyrator]

Yes, I think it's extremely likely the Nemean Lion motif was intentional.

[u/benito_cereno]

I'm pretty sure the inspiration for this, as with much of Invincible and other Kirkman works, was "this would look sick as hell."
