In order to stay alive for 10,000 more years, Norman must once again face a warrior known as the Conqueror. Max and Virgil are prohibited from helping their friend in this pivotal fight for his life.
It's hard to say what I like about Dawn of the Conqueror. It's full of goofs, me being the one having filled up the trivia section of this summary. And really, the villain isn't that smart or compelling. I off then, what I really dig about Dawn of the Conqueror is how for all the grumbling Max has a habit of doing when he's called to save the world when he'd rather be goofing off, we see how devoted he really is to his friends, even if they are in the business of slaying monsters. And even though the world isn't in peril, only his friend Norman, Max breaks his back to get back and help, despite being almost eaten by a shark, trampled by buffalo, anihilated by a nuclear bomb and hot waxed. That's friendship, and that's why I like Mighty max.moreless
It's revealed that Norman was once the Greek hero Hercules.
Edit
When Norman runs up to the ruins where he finds the Bellows of Hephaestus, the weapon he needs to win the second test, he says, "It's just as the ancient ones foretold!" However, the gist of the conversation he'd had with Virgil about the nature of the weapon needed to beat the second test was that the ancients hadn't provided specifics on what it is or where it is.
Edit
One of Conqueror's invocations is, "By the sword of Zeus..." Zeus never had a sword, he used lightning bolts as weapons.
Edit
Virgil's Means of Summoning: Virgil's head appears on the body of a robot superhero in a TV show that Max is watching called "The Incredibly Invincible Cyber Scouts". He tells Max to go to Kenny's Quickee Car Wash. The title of the series is probably a parody of the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers".
