History
Origin[]
When the Titan Uranus was ambushed and killed by his children led by Cronus, his blood impregnated Mother Earth with the Gigantes.[2]
Gigantomachy[]
Gaea later incited them to revolt against Zeus and the Olympians,[2] the "Gigantomachy".[5]
Zeus, aware of the incoming revolt, sired the demigod Hercules as the gods' champion. Hercules led the gods into battle, and the gigantes were defeated and many imprisoned in Hades alongside the Titans.[5]Powers and Abilities
