    TOXIC how the name came about

    Toxic is from the greek word TOXBO ( or something like that) and iots because Herc killed a monster who would continue to grow heads every time he chopped one off 2 would grow in its place...well anyway after the creature was dead he took his arrows and dipped them in the monsters blood..that then gave him a poisen tipped arrow. TOXBO ( or something like that ) means Bow and arrow ( slang ) in Greek THE STRONGEST MAN TOXIC ARROWS I think that was the first DUDE to get some gear......thinkabout it

    Thanks for the etymology lesson; the Greek word you were looking for is "toxicon", meaning bow.
