Hercules is the Marvel interpretation of the actual mythological character. Persevering against a gauntlet of mythological trials, he slowly establishes himself as a mainstream superhero. The Avengers serve as his primary affinity. Hercules possesses comparatively immortality and Hulk-caliber physical strength. His powers generally outclass those of most garden variety super villains, however his arrogance has occasionally served him as a notable vulnerability, and he has been outnumbered or even overpowered from time to time.
