MINOR SUPER-HERO 051: HERCULES

(Mystic Comics v1 003)


Every long running super-hero universe is going to acquire some Herculeses and the Marvel Universe might just have the most of all - I counted an even dozen just now and I'm sure there are more that aren't properly documented on the fan wikis - the DCU doesn't come close even if you count reboots of the same characters. Why? Not sure!

This Hercules is the son of one Dr David, raised on Snow Island in the Arctic to be a mental and physical paragon. He's super-strong and though his height is pretty inconsistent he's gotta be at least eight and up to ten feet tall. He busts up one mad scientist and saves a town from a flood but that's about it. Personally I think that he should come back (sorry, BRUNG BACK), just to add a little confusion to the modern Marvel Hercules scene.
