Synopsis

Even when introduced to a number of aspiring second-generation heroes, Kid Muscle remains reluctant to follow in his father's footsteps. Together with the offspring of such legendary wrestlers as Manitoban, Special Man, and Terryman, Kid Muscle is taken to the Hercules Factory: an academy where future heroes are put through brutal training exercises. Only the strongest and most skillful will survive to become the new Muscle League Champions! After surviving grueling tests administered by the toughest members of the original Muscle League, Kid Muscle's greatest challenge comes when the evil wrestler Boaconda invades the school and locks both Kid Muscle and himself inside the Titanium Cage for a match to the death.
