Who is Marvel's Hercules? Potentially Unlimited Strength.

This video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the Marvel Comics character "Hercules Panhellenios." From his birth as an Olympian and Human hybrid demigod that was the son of the Greek god Zeus and a woman named Alcmena, displaying amazing physical strength from a young age to developing potentially unlimited strength as the Greek god of strength and Prince of Power, completing his classic Twelve Labors as well as a Marvel-centric New Twelve Labors, loving battle and his long-standing rivalry with Thor Odinson as the strongest Olympian god, nearly equaling The Hulk in raw power and displaying the ability to overpower The Sentry and his half-brother Ares, taking out the Thor clone named Ragnarok during Marvel's Civil War, allying with The Avengers and other superhero teams like The Champions and The Defenders as well as leading the god squad against the Skrull gods during the Secret Invasion storyline, siding with the Green Scar Hulk during the epic World War Hulk event, to becoming best friends with Amadeus Cho before defeating the powerful goddess Hela and later the Chaos King; Let's take a look at this underratedly powerful Marvel superhero, and easily one of the strongest beings in the Marvel Universe. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic book and science fiction characters.

[@aldricdelfonzo6492]

Whos here after watching Thor??

[@TheToxicP]

As much as I like Hercules, he is the middle child of the big 3 (Thor, the Hulk and Hercules). All are pretty close to one another in strength / toughness but his big brother (Thor) is more versatile (being the God of Thunder + powers of Mjolnir) and his little brother Hulk is physically the strongest & toughest of the bunch. The only thing that really sets him apart is he is the better unarmed combatant but unfortunately Marvel does a piss poor job of reflecting the fighting skills of Hercules and Thor. The Hulk is the biggest winner of this fact, as him landing a clean hit would be rather doubtful against either of them, while the other two would be making precise strikes. People who rage don't win very often against people who know what they're doing. They can only bank on playing for that 1-shot. . .

[@JR-ju3kj]

I don't have any problem with Marvel making Hercules funny.There's nothing wrong with a character having a sense of humor,my problem is with Marvel making Hercules into a clown and a buffoon.The Marvel version of Hercules is seen as a joke by BOTH his fellow heroes AND villains alike! Also,Hercules with a man-bun is not something I like seeing! Ha! Ha! But Hercules,as a mythological character,is solidly in the public domain,so Marvel's free to depict their version of Hercules however they wish to.I'm going to be doing some independent comics on my own version of Hercules,too and he'll be based on the Steve Reeves-Hercules from the 1950s Hercules movies and my take on Hercules will admittedly,look a little like the Marvel version(since I'm using the Steve Reeves-version of Hercules and the Marvel version of Hercules was based on the Steve Reeves-Hercules in terms of likeness and appearance).But personality-wise,they'll be about as different as you can get.But that's the great thing about public domain characters,people are free to use them however they wish to! Marvel,DC and Disney have co-opted a lot of the famous public domain characters and made a good profit off of them,so there's no reason that other people shouldn't be able to,as well! And what I will say about the Marvel version of Hercules is that to his credit,unlike the DC version,he's not a villain,a murderer and a rapist.He's still a hero but just a deeply flawed one.

Not likely to see that . Marvel doesn't have the guts. Besides, they wouldn't let the Hulk redeem himself against Thanos in Avengers Endgame.

[@kenb2671]

Marvel’s Hercules is a true immortal( meaning he stopped aging upon reaching adulthood). Unlike Thor who ages extremely slowly. As the god of strength he possesses Class 100 level which means he’s one of strongest beings in the MU. He’s gone toe to toe with heavy hitters like Thor, Hulk and the Submariner when he’s fully hydrated. He’s been underrated for years and needs his own movie.

@@brandonfitzgerald8831 Thats my point. Maestro was smart enough to realize he couldn't overpower him so he outsmarted him instead. Therefore at that point in time he was stronger than the Hulk, either by getting stronger through the years or Hulk just being weaker at the time

[@thebeast9606]

I believe Hercules is the strongest in terms of “raw strength,” meaning, although Hulk can get stronger, Herc’s base level strength is the overall greatest out of everyone. A lot of people like to rank Thor above him, but Hercules fought Thor in Blood Oath and out fought Thor in pure hand to hand combat, and was on the verge of choking him out when Thor then used his lightning (the deal was to use no powers) to make Hercules let go. Hercules is extremely underrated for sure.
