47 parts Complete Percy Jackson was once a hero-a legend who defied the gods and saved the world. But heroism came at a cost. After the war with Gaia, he was stolen away, dragged into the abyss of Tartarus, where he suffered unimaginable torment for 200 years. When he finally escaped, the world had moved on without him. His friends-the Seven-were dead, their names lost to time. Olympus was silent. He had nothing left.
Now, he wanders the streets of Gotham, a city as broken as he is. Haunted by memories of war, suffering from PTSD, survivor's guilt, and nightmares, Percy is only a shadow of the warrior he once was. When Batman finds him, a background check reveals a shocking truth-Percy Jackson was reported missing over 200 years ago. Beyond that, he doesn't exist.
Taken in by the Justice League, Percy undergoes a medical examination that leaves even the most hardened heroes stunned. His body is covered in scars-evidence of centuries of suffering-and his mind is fractured, drowning in grief and trauma. The entire League, from Superman to Green Lantern, stands in silent disbelief. The Young Justice team struggles to understand the shattered figure before them, the man who was once a hero of myths and legends. Only Wonder Woman and Aquaman recognize his name, remembering the demigod who once carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.
But Percy is no longer a hero. He is a ghost, a relic of a forgotten past. He has no purpose, no reason to fight. And yet, something in Gotham calls to him. The storm still rages within, the power of the sea still thrums beneath his skin.
Perhaps, in this city of shadows, he can find a reason to keep going.
Perhaps, if he stays long enough, he will remember what it means to be alive.
