Who Is Marvel’s Hercules?
Based on the Greek god Heracles (which is who Hercules from Roman mythology was adapted from), Marvel Comics’ Hercules debuted in 1965’s Journey into Mystery Annual #1, the series that Thor was leading. Like other Olympian gods, Hercules has powers like super strength (he’s actually the strongest Olympian), super speed, super durability, super stamina and immortality. In addition to being a recurring character in Thor’s stories over the decades, Hercules has also been a longtime member of the Avengers, as well as served on teams like the Champions, the Defenders and the Heroes for Hire. Hercules has also struck up a close partnership in recent years with Amadeus Cho, another hero who has yet to grace the MCU.
