Woah boy Anon you have no idea what you've just done
Basically the first change is that Zeus is actually a good caring God who wants to protect and help people, and that ended up having consequences for pretty much all other characters.
Zeus takes the form of a teacher at Harvey's University after he's had his accident, getting him the support he needs and harshly punishing those who bully him. Harvey with his help doesn't become bitter and vengeful, instead insisting that he's going to prove everyone wrong by doing good for the world through science and robotics.
Zeus turns into first mate onboard an honest merchant ship and convinces the captain to let Crawfish (who's just a kid at the time) becomes a junior officer. He very quickly proves his skill with ships, rises through the ranks, and eventually when the old captain retires Crawfish is given command of the ship instead. When his home port begins to struggle financially, he uses the ship to bring them supplies
Zeus makes himself curator of an art museum, and makes sure to catch Widow on her very first heist. Instead of turning her in, he encourages her to keep improving her art instead of stealing it from others, and also suggests that if she's good enough to sneak past all that security she could have a future as a crimefighter. She takes him up on it, and with his guidance becomes a secret agent using her public persona as a famous artist as cover.
But Mordred is the one things change the most drastically for.
Mordred's childhood going by King Arthur myths was really not good: His father is King Arthur (making Mordred kind of a prince actually!), and there's a prophecy that Mordred will grow up to overthrow him and destroy the kingdom. Arthur wants to stop that from happening but doesn't know which child is Mordred, only that he'll be born on May 1. So he finds all children born on that day and sends them out onto the sea to drown, where Mordred is the only survivor.
In my normal idea of the world, I'd imagine this is when he washes up on the shores of Astroknights where he later finds out the truth and tries to become king as it's "his right".
In the Hero AU Zeus instead decides to intervene because this whole situation is messed up. He takes baby Mordred to Astroknights himself and gives him to the King and Queen. They're horrified that another king would do something like that to his own child, and adopt Mordred as their own. He grows up as a prince, and becomes a brave and honourable knight.
He sees Elyana as his little sister and they're very close. But as they grow up, people start to pay less and less attention to Elyana in favour of Mordred since he's the oldest child and the one who will become ruler. He also begins to spend less and less time with her as he's busy learning how to be king. She's alone and upset, feeling like everyone has abandoned her.
She begins to resent Mordred for having "abandoned her just like everyone else", and angry that he "stole the throne" from her. Eventually after they get into a huge fight she escapes into space.
Everyone assumes Elyana died in space, and Mordred is absolutely heartbroken feeling like all of it is his fault. The cult pops up believing she actually survived, and Mordred joins them because he's desperate to find Elyana and being her back home safely. Instead when he manages to contact her she attacks the kingdom and takes him away because "if you're gone I can be queen".
The player rescues Mordred, and Astroknights mostly plays out the same. Except despite everything he still cares for her, and when the portal is about to close leaving her stranded in space he tries to turn back for her at the last second.
He has an arm and half his face in the portal when it closes on him. He turns himself into a cyborg to survive.
Following all of that, he doesn't want anything more to do with the kingdom. He's extremely upset and just wants to run away from all of it. He gets into a tiny boat and lets it carry him off into the sea not even knowing if he'll survive or not. He drifts close enough to the "modern islands" to be rescued.
Black widow is an agent, so she becomes involved in figuring out what the heck happened to this medieval robot man they found adrift at sea.
Harvey is one of the best scientists, so she gets him involved too because he's pretty much the only one who can figure out how to repair Mordred's robotics while he's in the hospital.
Crawfish had a similar situation to Mordred of sailing too far from home and being picked up by modern people, so he gets called in because he's pretty much the only one who can fully empathise with being lost in this strange new world.
Mordred's bad situation brings the four of them together, and they decide to stick together as heroes defending Poptropica.

Sandbox Group hasn't done one good thing for Poptropica >:/ everything they've done made it cringy and worse! And now the game is dead cause of them
I had to struggle to think of one good thing they've done for Poptropica, and that's allowing it to be played on Coolmath Games and getting rid of membership.
But they only did that after the Shutdown Hoax...
I'll give you a list of every bad thing they've done to Poptropica since they came around:
Push Pop Original aside to create and focus on Pop Worlds, which most people hated as it wasn't as good as the Original.
Unceremoniously fire a good chunk of the original Poptropica creators.
Throw away the original creators hard work, such as a larger franchise with more content.
Make the design of the game more bland and uninspired.
Promise to bring the older islands back after Flash died 4 years ago, yet in all that time they only brought back less than half of them.
The As3 islands in their full forms can't be played unless you buy it for $20 on Steam.
Dumbing down older islands.
Create those Roblox games, which no one liked... or wanted. Or asked for.
Completely give up on the game that they ruined, and won't even do the simple thing as bringing the old islands and mini-games back.
Anything else?

I would like to hear about your Omegon ideas!
So I decided that he has something to do with The Code because why not. The context The Code is what's underneath The Nexus which was opened up at Mocktropica, and that there have been people who have gone missing because of it (mainly adventurers who went too far down or civilians who fell in/went in on a dare or something) and rarely those people do come back, but wrong. (I was inspired by Omegamart, with the eye lemon and the glitchy milk) There is only one (1) known case of someone actually coming back alive and that was Sebastian Andrews, a crew member of the M.A.F team that was working on the next movie. But to be fair he doesn't count, a month after they were found he went missing again and no one's seen them since.
