And I’m sure that he’s not wearing a 100% Historical accurate Greek armor… Like your regular thief would know that…
So that way he won’t be foiled like this.
The idea is to Take Him to the Greek.
I think I would’ve found this funnier if he had this massive armored boot on one of his feet…and then it turns out his costume designer made the armor for the wrong foot.
So, something interesting about Achilles. I was reading a book focused on Cassandra (the oracle gal in Troy who prophesized its downfall but that no one would believe) and it gave an interesting explanation for Achilles’s supposed invulnerability and weakness that would actually stand up to historical scrutiny.
Basically, Achilles was ‘invulnerable’ because while all his buddies had bronze armor, he had full-on iron armor, which was much more durable (and harder to make at the time). His heel was his weak spot because – like all Greeks of the time – the doofus wore *sandals* instead of proper armored boots. So when he was shot in the biggest unprotected area of his body with a poisoned arrow, that was it for him.
You’d think after all this time he’d just get a pair of heel-guards.
You would think, that his heel is his weakpoint. But him not thinking about this solution is the true weakness.
There was a Superman villain who had the power of Greek mythological figures.
He protected his achilles heel with kryptonite armor.
Maybe he should start going by Odysseus instead.
On the other hand, that’s a tactic that I’d expect Odysseus to think of, not Achilles.
Odysseus would wait for the villain to claim that “Nobody can stop me”, so he can answer “I am Nobody”.
I wonder if he has greek accent.
You think by now he would adopt Uggs.
He should say he’s either The Trojan, but they’ll die laughing before he could apprehend them, or The Spartan, but that would be… Madness!
Begone.
Not that Achilles was Trojan nor was he Spartan.

No, that’s traditional Greek Hoplite armor.
He should claim to be Siegfried, they’d do for the wrong one weak spot.
Maybe he should just change his name. If no one knows his real name, no one will know his weakness…
“You may call me… Tennis!”
He was as the star of the gay club scene, until a clumsy dancer stepped on his heel.
Sometimes I do miss the quiet competence of The Spank and The Banana.
Achilles also went by Pyrrha when he was in hiding as a girl. Maybe use that disguise…

That would be some pretty good misdirection though.
I now have the song “Something Like This” I my head.
