History[]
The Hades was originally leaked in summer of 2017, along with other Phantom Corps blasters such as the Prometheus MXVIII-20K, the Helios XVIII-700, and the Kronos XVIII-500. Its name was originally unknown and a distributor website later unintentionally revealed its name.[2] It was later officially announced on January 24, 2018[1] and shown off at the 2018 Toy Fair.
Trivia[]
- The Hades XVIII-6000 is named after Hades, who was the God of the Underworld in Greek mythology. Hades was also a son of the Titans Rhea and Cronus (after whom the Kronos XVIII-500 is named). He had three sisters: Demeter, Hestia, and Hera (after whom the Hera MXVII-1200 is named), as well as two brothers: Poseidon and Zeus (namesake of the Zeus MXV-1200).
- The Hades XVIII-6000 could be regarded as a successor to the Artemis XVII-3000, because of its extended stock and other similar features. However, the Artemis could still be used effectively as a secondary because of the lack of a stock.
- Before the Saturn XX-1000 was leaked, this was the longest RIVAL blaster in the series, measuring at a total of thirty inches long.
