Even before Joey Jones found HeroMan he was in search of a role model. In his heart his father was always a hero, but with him gone Joey has had no one to look up to. Now with a cast of friends and a community to protect he has found heroism where he previously least expected it. He is now as much a hero as HeroMan and he’s going to prove it one more time!
The Skrugg invasion has been repelled thanks to the efforts of Earth’s new heroes – Joey and Heroman. So for Joey and Lina it may now appear as if life should soon go back to normal in Center City… Well, not so fast! If Joey’s rocker big sister Holly wasn’t enough of a troublemaker, a new form of home-grown terror has emerged. And they may be working with National Intelligence!!
The Skruggs have begun their invasion of Earth and while mankind panics at this first encounter, Joey Jones and his toy turned mecha, Heroman, lay low while they work out a plan to repel the alien forces. Meanwhile, the Skruggs are not going to wait for the Earthlings to make their move. By taking advantage of some ill-advised meddling by a few Center City students, the Skrugg have begun developing a new weapon to pit against Heroman. But will this new force destroy the Skrugg from within instead?
Before he found Heroman, Joey Jones never thought he had what it takes to be a “real” hero. Now with H.M., Joey is quickly developing into a hero that others can rely on … at least on the inside. But after taking on a number of Skruggs in Center City the whole world is taken siege by a full on alien invasion! And it is going to take much more than just Heroman and some cheerleading training to save the earth!
Orphaned American teen Joseph Carter Jones, Joey, lives with his grandmother in Center City, California. When he is not in class you can generally find the youth working diligently at a diner to help things meet at home. Joey’s a bit scrawny for his age. He’s not athletic or much of a bookworm. Actually he doesn’t fit in anywhere, but he’s got a set of friends and a few hobbies that help him cope when not busy at work.
Upon hearing of a new toy robot called the Heybo, Joey becomes set on believing that acquiring said gadget will turn his life for the better. Like many impressionable teens, Joey thinks material goods can bring him good fortune, and given his life situation he could really use some luck. Unfortunately, he cannot afford to buy the machine on his meager salary.
His luck changes when he picks up a broken down Heybo abandoned by a school bully. Said bully is a member of the football team and was picking on Joey because the runt was hanging out with his friend and lead cheerleader Lina. In Joey’s eyes this used bot could be a source of strength. It could turn him into a hero for Lina and his school…if he could make it work. So he tries to fix the toy, and eventually names it Heroman. Initially his effort seems to go to waste as the bot refuses to function, but when Heroman gets struck by a bolt of lightning, it transforms into a giant robot…. Just in time to save his friend Lina from impending danger.
