Class of the Titans

Cronus, the titan of time who was imprisoned in Tartarus for thousands of years after being defeated by his son Zeus, escapes when the planets align on New Year's Eve. An ancient prophecy predicts that seven teenage heroes, Jay, Atlanta, Herry, Archie, Theresa, Odie, and Neil, who are the descendants of ancient Greek heroes, will be the ones to defeat Cronus for good. After being found, they are brought to Olympus High School in New Olympia, where they train become strong enough to face him while fighting against monsters he sends to attack them.^[4]

• Jay (voiced by Kirby Morrow) – "The Leader", a sixteen-year-old boy who is the descendant of Jason of the Argonauts and the first of the teenagers to be found. The leader of the group, he wields a xiphos with a retractable blade and takes his role as a hero seriously, possessing a strong sense of responsibility and work ethic. He is of Greek heritage on his mother's side and grew up with stories of classical mythology, making him more knowledgeable on the subject than the other heroes, and enjoys sailing. Though he has feelings for Theresa, they do not become a couple until they share a kiss in the series finale.^[5] His mentor is Hera.
• Atlanta (voiced by Meghan Black in season 1, Sarah Edmondson in season 2) – "The Hunter", a fifteen-year-old girl who is the descendant of Artemis, who is also her mentor, and the second of the teenagers to be found. Born and raised in the Northwest Territories, she has a scar on her right shoulder from an incident with a puma and has enhanced reflexes and tracking abilities. She has a passion for weapons, primarily wielding jaw-trap steel bolas or a crossbow gauntlet, though enjoys hunting with traditional weapons such as a bow and arrow. Though she can be short-tempered and impulsive, she is studious and interested in environmental issues, being a volunteer for the Green Alliance. She is also a player on Olympus High's field hockey team, along with Theresa. Atlanta has no interest in dating, but had a crush on Phil and develops feelings for Archie. While initially reluctant to change their relationship beyond that of close friends, she eventually decides that she cares for him as much as he cares for her, and they become a couple.
• Herry (voiced by Ty Olsson) – "The Brawn", a sixteen-year-old farm boy who is the descendant of Hercules, who is also his mentor, and the third of the first three teenagers to be found. He has superhuman strength and often does not wield a weapon, preferring to use brute force. Though laid-back and easy-going, he has a short temper, which has caused him to get into trouble. He is fond of his grandmother, "Granny", who appears to have raised him and is seemingly the only parental figure that knows of the heroes, also knowing of Zeus. Though his teammates sometimes belittle his intelligence, he is shown to be smart, especially at coming up with solutions. Herry drives a pickup truck given to him by his grandmother, which Hephaestus modified and equipped to be the group's mode of transport.
• Archie (voiced by Sam Vincent) – "The Warrior", a fifteen-year-old boy who is the descendant of Achilles and the fourth teen brought to Olympus High. He wields the "Hephaestus Whip," a cross between a chain whip and a rope dart, which Hephaestus later upgrades to the "Adamantine Whip". He wears a brace covering his right shin and part of his right foot due to an unspecified medical condition that affects his heel. According to Dionysus, Archie, like Achilles, is immune to disease and has never been sick, although he has a scar.^[6] He is afraid of water and refuses to swim, a fear that Atlanta helps him overcome. In addition to his physical abilities, Archie is knowledgeable about Greek mythology from reading Greek poetry. He tends to be brash and self-centered, but is also withdrawn and cynical. His skepticism of the supernatural causes him to be initially hostile towards Theresa, dismissing her abilities as merely predictions, though they settle their differences. Though he had feelings for Atlanta since they first met, he is afraid to confess his feelings; when he does confess, she is initially afraid that their relationship will change, but reciprocates his feelings.^[7] His mentor is Ares.
• Theresa (voiced by Kelly Sheridan) – "The Fighter", a sixteen-year-old girl who is the descendant of Theseus and the sixth teen to be discovered. She is the group's second-in-command and assumes the role of leader when Jay is incapacitated.^[8] A black belt in taekwondo, she wields nunchucks and possesses a sixth sense, similar to clairvoyance or psychometry, and later gains telepathic and telekinetic powers. She comes from a wealthy family and her father owns cattle ranches across Canada. She is a talented lyre player, and, along with Atlanta, plays on Olympus High's field hockey team. After the gods push her too far, her powers to go out of control in the form of an evil spirit that drains the powers of most of the gods and Cronus, allowing the Chosen Ones to defeat him and fulfill the Oracle's prophecy. After draining Zeus, she declares that she and Jay are free, but is horrified to learn that Hera told Jay to kill her. Jay tries to convince her that the combined powers of the gods will destroy her, only for the Phantom to toss Jay aside, causing her to realize that she has gone too far. She then dies after being overwhelmed by his power, but Jay revives her with a kiss.^[5] Her mentor is Persephone.
• Odie (voiced by Doron Bell Jr.) – "The Brains", a sixteen-year-old boy who is the descendant of Odysseus and the fifth teen to be discovered. He is usually considered the youngest of the group due to his small stature, but is among the oldest. Though he does not wield a weapon, he is intelligent and adept with technology, serving as the group's tactician and using a walkie-talkie and a laptop given to him by Hermes, his mentor. He later befriends Polyphemus, whom Odysseus had blinded during his Odyssey. He suffers from claustrophobia, which he can overcome with a specially designed device that places the location elsewhere in his mind. His mentor is Hermes.
• Neil (voiced by Ted Cole) – "The Good Looking", a sixteen-year-old boy who is the descendant of Narcissus and the seventh and final teen to be discovered. He is vain and arrogant and works as a freelance model. Because of this, others initially doubt his status as a "hero". Neil considers himself to be cultured and an expert on fashion and becomes upset if his clothes get dirty. He is notorious for being late and is obsessed with horror films about vampires and werewolves. His luck helps him in combat and in winning games likes coin tosses and board games.

He controls several giants and fights the heroes, who are prophesied to defeat him, by sending monsters to attack them, convincing his allies to take out their anger on them, and forming alliances with the foes of the original heroes. As one of the most powerful immortals in existence and the god of time, Cronus has several powers, including regeneration, creating portals, shapeshifting, and duplicating himself, as well as reversing and accelerating time, though these powers weaken with overuse.
