Lon Crag is a high school art student and a great patriot. One day in his room he is drawing a picture of Menelaos when the picture comes to life and grants him a wish. Lon, being patriotic and all, says that he wants to be "a great and good hero...like Captain America!" Menelaos, seeing that Lon is worthy of receiving a wish like this, tells Lon that when he says "Ilium" he "will have the wisdom of Ulysses, the battle-prowess of Agamemnon and the invulnerability of Achilles" as well as Achilles' weakness. Lon, being no dummy, says the word and turns into a tall, muscular man with a small, round, red shield (with the triskelion, the Greek three-dancing-legs design on it), and goes off to fight evil. As "Roko" Lon has the powers of Ulysses, Agamemnon, and Achilles. He also has super-strength and the ability to fly.
