Awesome / The Incredible Hercules

• Hercules and Snowbird slay the Skrull God Kly'bn and save Earth from subjugation.
  • Beforehand, Herc cutting loose after Amadeus' apparent death and showing what he can really do when he stops messing about: namely, absolutely thrashing Kly'bn, who, lest it be forgotten, was a Skyfather who'd destroyed and absorbed thousands of pantheons and was at least a Class 6 on the Super Weight scale while Herc is nominally a Class 4.
• Let the god speak for himself;
  Zeus: You may worship me by whatever name you choose. But I prefer Zeus. And I just found out I control the weather. Which is awesome.
  • Speaking of Zeus, there is the time where he fought the Hulk and straight up destroyed him with his bare hands. That goes to show how powerful Zeus really is.
• Way back in the seventies, for over a year (#221-236), Hercules was something of a sidekick to Thor and suffered a string of Worfings and curb-stomp battles to make Thor look better. In #235 he finally gets thrown a bone. Jane Foster is dying, so Lady Sif leads Hercules to another realm where a blind sorcerer named Kamo Tharn possesses a staff that will help save Jane. Kamo has no desire to help them, so he strikes Hercules deaf and then tries to kill him, but Herc takes the folly of energy and knocks out Kamo with one punch.
  Though fallen Hercules still doth live. And by my soul as long as life exists within me I WILL NOT BEG. I WILL NOT BEG! *BRAABOOM!*
• Hercules once curb-stomped the Needlessly omnipotent Sentry by exploiting his lack of fighting skills. He even throws in a Groin Attack for good measure.
• In Civil War, a clone of Thor had already killed one of Herc's friends, and nearly several more. After Storm managed to hold the Clone-Thor off in her CMOA, Herc steps up to literally destroy a being very nearly as powerful and durable as the original Thor... with just three punches. Sadly this remains off-screen, though some descriptive sound effects make it clear just how utterly wrecked Clor was.
  • While using the clone's own Mjolnir!
  Hercules: "THOU ART NO THOR!"
• Years ago, Hercules was an alcoholic who could usually be found in a bar wasting his life or doing a case of Drowning My Sorrows. He got himself back on track and later built a worldwide business empire. Whose profits only went to fund charity efforts, such as women's shelters.
• After Hercules became the God of Gods and killed his Chaos-King possessed father, he became harangued by the Council of Godheads who warned him of misusing his power. Fed up with their arrogance and Omniscient Council of Vagueness habits while the Earth was in danger from the Chaos King, Hercules jumped through dimensions just to start giving the council a well-deserved beatdown for being Jerkass Gods much to their satisfactory bewilderment.
• An insane Hercules giving the Hulk in his Maestro form a thorough Curb-Stomp Battle in the Maestro comic story after the Hulk declared I'll Kill You!:
  Hercules: Have you any clue how many people have made that threat? How many Titans? Monsters? Demons? Over how many thousands of years? And guess what, Banner? I am still here. Their threats nothing but barely remembered echoes in my ears. And I'm still here. Their bodies long ago reduced to forgotten dust. And I'm still here. And in five hundred years, when your body is departed and your memory forgotten. I. Will Still. Be Here!
