The Thebans are the citizens of the Greek city of Thebes. They also appear as minor characters in the Disney animated movie Hercules. In spite of their first glimpse upon the demi-god hero, Hercules, whom they did see him as a pitiful showstar, they later accept him as the hero of the city and later of Ancient Greece. The Thebans appear in most of the villains tournaments, usually reacting panickly as the forces of evil overtake their city and the whole world.
