== Myths & Religion ==
* [[Norse Mythology]]; Thor's son Magni was the embodiment of strength. One myth states that Thor fought a giant named Hrungnir, but while Thor was victorious and killed Hrungnir, the giant's body fell on him, pinning him to the ground and leaving him helpless. After no-one else was able to so much as budge the giant's heavy corpse, Magni - who was ''only three days old'' at the time, was able to lift it off his father effortlessly.
* [[Greek Mythology]]:
** Hercules. His first heroic act was before he was a month old, when he killed two serpents created by Hera to take out him (and his normal twin) with his bare hands. This was discovered by his parents when baby Herc was found using the dead snakes as rattles.
** Prometheus warned Zeus against this: Prometheus told him that a certain nymph named Thetis would bear a son who would be more powerful than his father. So they married her off to a [[Badass Normal|mortal hero]], the myrmidon King Peleus, and her son was "merely"... Achilles.
** Hermes, according to the Homeric Hymn dedicated to him, was one day old when he walked across the countryside, stole a herd of cattle from the god Apollo, drove them back to his mother's cave while cleverly covering their tracks, sacrificed and burned one or two of them, and invented the lyre. Apollo was not amused, and chased Hermes all the way up to Olympus. Hermes then talked his way out of punishment.
