Achilles

Profile

Achilles was gleaming perfection. Even though he had a pretty nasty temper, to the ancient Greeks he was the epitome of everything a man should be. He kicked major butt of the battlefield, did what the gods told him, and he was smokin' hot. This warrior of warriors became a household name during the Trojan War when he conquered tons of Trojan towns and slaughtered a slew of Troy's best warriors, including its top dog, Hector. Yep, it seemed like Achilles was totally unstoppable—that is, until he was shot in the heel by Paris, the pretty-boy of Troy. It turns out that Achilles' heel was the one place where he could be hurt, and ironically the tiny wound ended up bringing down the greatest warrior of all time. Hmmm, maybe he wasn't so perfect after all.
