American Hero Story (sometimes abbreviated as AHS) is an American historical anthology superhero television series created by J.T. March III. Each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a different set of characters and settings, and a storyline with its own "beginning, middle, and end." Inspired by true events, American Hero Story is a series that dramatizes the events of costumed adventurers and society's endless fascination with them. The first season, retroactively subtitled Rorschach, reexamines and deconstructs the hard-boiled vigilante of the Nixon Era. Season two, retroactively subtitled Minutemen, explores the Golden Age era crime-fighting group led by the mysterious Hooded Justice.

Seasons

Rorschach (2018)

American Hero Story - Minutemen — *American Hero Story: Minutemen*

Season 1 focused on Walter Joseph Kovacs aka Rorschach. While regarded as a conservative/libertarian icon by those who follow his philosophy, the series portrayed him as a withering deconstruction of pathology that implicitly shamed anyone who ever found Rorschach or his kind admirable or noble.

Minutemen (2019)

Season 2 focuses on the Minutemen and the man who inspired him, Hooded Justice. The series portrays what is already known and speculated by the public about HJ, from his early debut in 1938 to his romantic relationship with Captain Metropolis.
