	Hercules (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hercules, or Heracles, being in one sense a superhero from classical antiquity, and a recognisable character freely available in the public domain, has been featured in a number of comic book series.
		Marvel Hercules is a reserve member of The Avengers and was also a founding member of the short-lived Champions team (the creation of which involved his fellow Olympian gods).
		Hercules is punished by Zeus to banishment on a journey through outer space, where he befriends the Recorder, an android given to him by the alien Regelians.

	Zeus (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.
		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.

		Hercules, who has doffed his jacket, but is still wearing his vest, and looks pretty good, grabs the bull by the horns (literally) and twists the bull's head, cracking its spine.
		Hercules uproots a tree and puts it in the path of the "torrent." Hercules (now with his shirt off, and wearing only his t-shirt) piles rocks and wood on top and in front of the tree, and hey presto!
		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.

	H
		Hercules, occupied with rescuing the teen from the raging sea creature, doesn't realize that the rock he has left behind is the prison the gods had created to contain the anti-gods.
		Hercules is also not aware that the long dormant anti-gods have amassed enough power to thrust out one of their number, the Anti-Ares, who hastily needs a physical shell in which he can rest and slowly strengthen his malevolent force.
		Hercules leads his friends and a band of android warriors across the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man. They fight their way into the opponent's fortress, but are shocked to learn that their enemy is Dave, now hooked up to a vast computer network.

		The cover of #1 depicts a bare-chested, clean-shaven Hercules (he would grow a beard later in the series) seizing an armored, sword-wielding adversary by the throat, as a battle rages in the background.
		Hercules asks for forgiveness for being distracted from his quest to destroy the Nemean lion, but also confesses that he is tempted to abandon his labors altogether by "the love of a princess!" Much to Helen's amazement, Zeus replies and warns his son, "The choice is yours to make!
		Hercules commands her to flee to Alexander's side as he confronts the lion single-handed.

		Hercules was the beginning of the end for that relationship, but even though she still doesn't get it, we remain friends to this day.
		Hercules had a sidekick whom I remember as a faun or satyr, but one of the other two people I know who remembers the cartoon swears it was a centaur named "Newton".
		Hercules couldn't fly, so at the end of each segment he was usually shown running off into the distance or jumping off a cliff, shouting his trademark "Olympia!"

	rogueclassicism: Classical Comics Update
		The hero of the TV show Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is a devoted family man. There is little trace of the many women who, in the early mythological tradition, fall innocent victim to his violent (and often extramarital) lust.
		Hercules' new identity as a model of "enlightened" late twentieth-century American masculinity is constructed via his encounter with the Amazons in the pilot movie, Hercules and the Amazon Women.
		And Hercules is deprived of the promiscuous sexual energy that characterizes his Greek counterpart as extraordinary in a way that sets him outside the pale of civilized life, even as his exploits make that life possible for others.

		Meanwhile in tinseltown, Hercules proves to be a soft touch when he's duped into signing an ironclad 'Olympian pact' that forces him to exchange places with Pluto as the ruler of the Netherworld.
		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.

	The Final Word (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Manga comics in both markets are nothing new, but the prominence of books like Battle Chasers and Dark Minds has caused fans of those titles to take a look at other Manga titles, and thus we have a surge in Manga popularity on North America.
		For too long the content of comics has remained fairly consistent, and the long term survival of the comics medium is contingent upon the medium periodically reinventing itself.
		TV and Manga comics are an excellent start, and might perhaps be one of the first steps toward a thriving and healthy comic marketplace.

		He originated in the Golden Age of Comic Books, and his only major appearance in modern comics was in the second series of The Invaders (comics), in which he was summoned to Earth and manipulated by Nazi Germany into attacking the Allies.
		The Visions body was created from that of the original Human Torch, while the patterns of his synthetic brain were based on those of the then-deceased Wonder Man. The Vision rebelled against his father and soon joined the Avengers.
		The Vision and Scarlet Witchs children were then revealed to not be actual children at all: they were fragments of the soul of the demon Mephisto (comics), who had been broken apart by Franklin Richards shortly before the birth of the twins.

		But Hercules is nearly as strong as his namesake, quite capable of knocking much larger adults out and smashing boulders with one blow, and when his plane, the "Sky Bird," is blown up in mid-air, Hercules is not harmed by the explosion or the fall.
		Notes: "Little Hercules" is drawn by Bud Sagendorf in the style of E.C. Segar and his own work on Popeye.
		It makes for a somewhat uncanny experience, reading Little Hercules' adventures and expecting Popeye or Brutus or the Jeep or the Sea Hag to make an appearance at any moment.
