Golden Axe

==Summary==
Golden Axe is a widely popular series of side-scrolling beat em' up games developed by Sega. There are five main titles in the series, Golden Axe (1989), Golden Axe II (1991), Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder (1992), Golden Axe III (1993) and Golden Axe: Beast Rider (2008), the last of which is in 3D rather than side-scrolling. There are a couple of spin-offs as well, including Golden Axe Warrior (1991) and Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe (1991), two action-adventure titles that play similar to both The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link respectively, as well as a fighting game called Golden Axe: The Duel (1994).
In ancient times, a race of ruthless giants appeared from the darkness of the world and challenged the great gods to a battle. Both forces fought to a stalemate, and the fight seemed to last forever. However, the war suddenly came to an end when the power of the giants had been contained, and they were driven back to the darkness. The battle was over, but it led to the demise of many of those who had fought. Those left alive in the land of the gods honed a weapon, the "Golden Axe." After a long time, humans began to emerge in the former territory of the gods. The Golden Axe already left the hand of the gods, and humans reigned the land. One of the evil giants that had survived, Death Adder, tricked the humans and took the axe. Evil forces returned to the land, starting an era of darkness.
Three heroes of the names Gilius Thunderhead, Ax Battler, and Tyris Flare had all suffered a familial loss at the hands of Death Adder, so the three vowed to defeat him, retrieve the Golden Axe and restore peace to the land.
==Power of the Verse==
The cast of Golden Axe is relatively strong at Small Country level in attack potency because of characters that can create miniature suns with their magic, with speeds reaching up to Massively Hypersonic due to being faster than lightning.
