 Hercules? - The Superhero Hype! Boards
Marvel's Hercules is relatively close to the mythological Hercules, IMO.
I was wondering if any body knew anything about the marvel version of hercules (or Heracles if you prefer the greek spelling) I grew up reading myths and Hercules is my favorite of the greek heros and i was just curious if any body knew any thing.
The two 80's Bob Layton HERCULES mini-series for Marvel were actually pretty decent, I thought.

 Captain Marvel (DC Comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Through much of the Golden Age of Comics, Captain Marvel proved to be the most popular superhero character of the medium with his comics outselling all others, including Superman.
In addition, Captain Marvel was a member of the later incarnation of the Justice League while Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr.
Ironically, a typical use for Captain Marvel guest appearances is to be a back up for Superman when a flying strong man is called for.

 The Marvel Battlestar Galactica Comics
Despite this problem, the Marvel series had great potential because comics were better equipped for science fiction stories than television was back in 1978 (unlike today when relatively inexpensive CGI special effects allow television to do sci-fi/fantasy series such as Bablyon 5, Xena, and Hercules that wouldn't have been possible even 10 years earlier).
The Marvel Comics Battlestar Galactica comic book series lasted 23 issues from 1979 to 1981 and is widely regarded as a major dissapointment (although it came nowhere close to reaching the horrible depths of Galactica 1980).
What's frustrating is that Marvel does things that the television series should have done -- the compelling Sire Uri sticks around and is the perfect foil for Adama -- Boomer, Athena, and Jolly are each featured in their own individual stories -- yet it fails to do them in a compelling fashion.

 Zeus (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A millennium ago, his son Hercules led a band of soldiers he had transported from ancient Greece through time to battle Norsemen who were under the protection of the Asgardian god Thor.
Zeus usually appears in the context of stories involving his illigitemate son Hercules or other gods, primarily Thor; he appears less frequently than his Asgardian counterpart, Odin.
The version of Zeus depicted by Marvel Comics is based, at least somewhat, from the classical character of Greek mythology worshiped as a god in ancient Greece.

 Hercules
I can only guess that, back in the 1930s and 1940s, the tendency, in circuses, was to name the strongman "Hercules." The staffs at Marvel, Quality, and MLJ (again, if I'm remembering their "Hercules" correctly) all apparently decided, more or less at the same time, to capitalize on this bit of cultural ephemera.
Consider: Mystic Comics #3, starring Hercules, the circus strongman, came out in June.
In the next issue Hercules (back at the circus) makes the cover of Mystic Comics and stops the plots of Lemo.

 The Silver Age Marvel Comics Cover Index Reviews page
If there were well written comics before silver age Marvel, they generally dwelled on the horrors of war or crime and if they came afterwards, they were permutated by the cynicism and moral relativism of the post-Reagan era.
Marvel Comics' Silver Age stretched across at least ten years (1960-1970) and over that time developed from the self-contained, single issue stories common in the industry, to longer tales involving mature subjects and more complex themes.
But more importantly, was the story's overarching theme (familiar to readers of the Amazing Spider-Man but not often associated with Marvel's other features) that with great power there must also come great responsibility.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Mighty Hercules
There were Hercules series in the early days of comic books, from Quality Comics, Fox Feature Syndicate, and other publishers; and in latter-day comics, Marvel Comics uses a version of him as an ongoing character.
The voice of Hercules was done by Jimmy Tapp, who had no other voice credits but was well known as a television and radio personality in Montreal.
The Mighty Hercules was made into a Gold Key comic book, which ran two issues (July and November, 1963).
