The Mortal Potion
The Mortal Potion is a magic potion that can turn any immortal and/or half-immortal being into a mere mortal and an item in the animated Disney movie Hercules. It is used by Pain and Panic in their failed attempt to make Hercules mortal as part of their master Hades' plan to rule the universe unopposed.
The Mortal Potion was created by Hades to mortalize Hercules. Than Pain and Panic would kill him. Pain and Panic kidnap Hercules from his parents in Olympus and start to feed the baby the potion. Hercules had almost drunk the entire potion but luckily did not drink the last drop, as Pain and Panic were interrupted by Amphitryon and his wife Alcmene and the bottle broke on the stone ground and the last drop fell to the ground.
Description
The Mortal Potion is a glowing pink fluid kept in a small glass bottle with a lid designed and shaped like a skull. When baby Hercules was drinking it, it made his glowing immortality disappear. It is unknown if the taste was good or bad as Hercules was force-fed it and did not give an impression on its taste.
