Nice tribute to Herc, who has always been one of my favorite chars. Thanks for all the vintage art. I was a little kid back when Marvel introduced him. I still have that first issue where he encountered Thor in one of many boxes of comics up in my attic. Also the issue where he met Hulk for the first time. Bill Everett was the artist on that one. In those early days Hulk, Thor and Herc were the strongest Marvel heroes. Hercules has gone through changes at Marvel over the long years since his first appearances. Zeus once weakened him by taking away his immortality which he later got back. You mentioned his time as the Chaos King. I'm not up to date on all the latest developments but it feels like Marvel has not shown Herc as much respect as they should have. The Maestro poisoned him? C'mon. He's been running around with modern weapons? Why? I realize that any char's power level really depends on whoever is writing the particular story but Hercules should always be very near the top of the strength scale. He should remain equal to the Hulk (minus all the insane power ups they've been doing to Hulk in the last few years) and Thor (before he got Odin's power).
I still can’t believe that in your older Hercules vid there was a guy who try to debunk Hercules lifting the heavens by saying he was just holding his hands up… despite the fact it’s stated he’s lifting the heavens
@@mogamatsedickpetersen8620 Get this too. He claims Atlas’s punishment was just to hold his hands up and then tried to say that if he put his hands down then nothing would happen… I’m still laughing because of that lmao
Hercules is probably the physically strongest Marvel character that isn't a cosmic entity and I like that even though he is a god, he isn't written to be the Greek version of Thor. I wish he had more cinematic appearances. Chaos War was such an amazing story! God of gods Hercules was an absolute boss!
@IStevenSeagal Are they stronger? They just seem to have strength on par with Thor; who is comparable, but not equal to Hercules in physical strength. Jane gave Mangog a good fight and she's a Thor knockoff.
@IStevenSeagal Where is strength shown if not in feats (fights, actions, etc)? When comparing two characters, seeing how they fair in fights or contests of strength gives us a better idea of where they rank.
2:32 That fight scene was straight fire. Pip hits him from behind and he just no sells it and one shots him. He also took down 2 other members of the Infinity Watch in that fight and was besting Adam Warlock. It’s a shame that he’s not written at his classic level often these days.
He's even a Powerhouse in the Disney movie Hercules. And that was when he was a Youngster sociology you still progressing and evolving throughout his years. That got me to ask what kind of training Phil put him through after he defeated Hades in the Marvel version?
Hercules is the perfect physical specimen. A true demigod. His superhuman conditioning and prowess is admirable. Although others like Superman, Hulk, Thor, Juggernaut are considerably stronger, Herc has proven to be equal or superior in some cases. He’s not one to deny or downplay.
I realize he's more older in the Marvel verse. He was a youngster in the Disney verse, so I'm pretty sure his strength just grew and evolved throughout his years
Here's what confuses me. Is Hercules feat of lifting the heavens a physical strength feat or a metaphor like in Superman's case when he lifted the heavens in DC
Bro love your content! Would be dope if you could cover toriko characters (for example jiro, midora, itiriu, the 8 kings, the four heavenly kings)they are ridiculous in terms of power I PROMISE u 💀
The one that confused me was when he was depowered. I couldn't figure out if he was under peak human or over. They would show him having an issue taking down 2 robbers and then they'd have him wrestling a mildly superhuman villain. Was he Conan level or just an athletically strong guy like a football player? So glad they gave him back his power.
You should really do a video on Darkseid!!! Or a Superman VS Thor video! Even though Marvel already decided that Superman was superior, which is why he won the fight in the first place!
@@RobertSpiller well going by feats alone… Superman when it comes to speed is -pushing Planck time/ATTO(the femto feat is ATTO if you continue to read)and even faster while Thors best claimed feat is MICRO. -Not to mention, shattering infinity itself, and traveling instantaneously to the heart of the universe/edge of creation! -Shattering entire planets with his bare hands -Shattering planets, bigger than the sun and 6D with his feet alone! -Benching earth for five days straight over 1 million times with no effort at all -Carrying the GALAXIES themselves -Shattering entire timelines with a single punch -Shattering multiversal barriers on multiple occasions with his bare hands -Lifting infinity on three separate occasions, and once again shattering it on the fourth -Tanking the big bang -throwing entire planets into the sun -Creating entire suns -Moving entire planets -Cutting entire planets in half with his eyes and blowing them away at will -Shattering and rewriting entire timelines AND Capable of making entire dimensions ceased to exist with only his base power! I read both of them, and I have just about all of their collections in physical format! And I love Thors feats but Superman is just stronger and faster! And with the benefit of unlimited power! Almost each and one of Thor’s feats he’s struggled to do for the few seconds that it was and he’s literally nothing without his hammer… he’s flying around on magical chariots, because even the thunder will no longer listen to him. And most importantly, they’ve already thought before Superman beat him in marvel themselves admitted that Superman was superior, and Thor would lose the fight. So it really just comes down to opinion but it’s already happened… hopefully that helped!
@IStevenSeagal no that doesn’t settle it… Hyperion doesn’t come close to Superman! Especially not in strength and damn sure not in speed… that’s what happens when you break infinity and traveling instantaneously to the heart of the universe/edge of creation!!! Not to mention, shattering entire timelines with a single punch and also shattering multiversal barriers with his bare hands on multiple occasions! Not to mention pulling 150,000,000,000 planets as a child single-handedly with no effort at all… And most importantly Superman has the power to make in entire dimensions cease to exist! And that’s only at base… I know the answer and Marvel knows the answer because they already admitted that Superman was superior and that was why he won the fight in the first place! I just like hearing other peoples opinions for the hell of it!
@IStevenSeagal Marvel said that Supes was more power? Was it that Jason Arons guy who said that because if it was, completely ignore that. As you know Thor is a God....superman is not. I would actually like to see Ivan really do an indepth review of a Thor vs Superman, and here's the thing. If Thor fights smart, then supes will lose quickly and the reason I say that. Thor is a son of the earth and he can command it to do what he says...what if he says for all the kryptonite to come to his aid and surround Supes, the fight is over. Now if they get into a brawl with fist and everything, I think that Thor can take a punch from Superman. If he can take a punch from Marvel's Hercules, and not that pitiful one in DC comics, it would be a good fight but again I think it would go to Thor....he just has too many weapons and Supes has just a few weaknesses but those weaknesses are enough.
The way you undermined him being the CREATOR of PANKRATION does not do him justice AT ALL! If only marvel artists were good at blocking a fighting scenes with a respectable choreography you'd understand how crazy that is. Let me make it short, THE MAN IS AT MINIMUM BAKI/or YUJIRO WITH GODLY FEATURES.
@@master-of-mind5881 yeah then you woke up Hercules has beaten maestro which Maestro doesn't get stronger the madder he gets I've got plenty of comics where the hulk waxes Hercules I've got plenty of comics where he waxes Hercules plus the Avengers plus the Fantastic Four plus the X-Men and even the Savage Submariner Prince Namor all at the same time so go get your shine here are some stupid pills for you to take with it💊💊💊💊💊💊😁🖕😎🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🧃 oh yeah don't forget the Kool-Aid later momo

The true Greek spelling and pronunciation is DOPE AF
Love this video on Hercules. Herc is the embodiment of a powerhouse
Herc went through a phase in the late 80's where Marvel comics really cucked him.
Nice tribute to Herc, who has always been one of my favorite chars. Thanks for all the vintage art. I was a little kid back when Marvel introduced him.

Yeah the writing Hercules has been a little weird lately lol I don't like the idea of Hercules being poisoned lol
The classic Marvel Hercules was really strong. They weakened him over the last few years.
Can you do a video on Shattered Dimensions Spider-Man?
It's great video man. He'z one my favorite character in marvel comics.
Love it.
I still can’t believe that in your older Hercules vid there was a guy who try to debunk Hercules lifting the heavens by saying he was just holding his hands up… despite the fact it’s stated he’s lifting the heavens
Bruh tried to say he was holding his hands up in the air for no reason lol
That's dumb. Like if Herc was just holding up his hands, wouldn't the heavens have collapsed due to Atlas not being there?
☝️
@@mogamatsedickpetersen8620
Get this too. He claims Atlas’s punishment was just to hold his hands up and then tried to say that if he put his hands down then nothing would happen… I’m still laughing because of that lmao

Great video! It is sad that Marvel tends to use him as a Jobber. There really could be better stories made for this character for sure.
Can you do a video where Superman fought Hercules and how the justice battled Hercules and the gods
Best videos of this kind in youutbe.
How Strong is Divinity (Valiant Comics)
W upload
when you gonna do captain britain?
I realize he's more older in the Marvel verse. He was a youngster in the Disney verse, so I'm pretty sure his strength just grew and evolved throughout his years
Here's what confuses me. Is Hercules feat of lifting the heavens a physical strength feat or a metaphor like in Superman's case when he lifted the heavens in DC
Considering how many statements there are of the Heavens weight and size I’d say physical.
Ivan please do hulk next
My last Hulk vid was kinda potent lol
Bearing the weight of the universe for 3 hours makes every other feat inconsequential lol. That explanation was the end of the video haha
I didn't think anyone wanted a 1 minute vid!
Bro love your content! Would be dope if you could cover toriko characters (for example jiro, midora, itiriu, the 8 kings, the four heavenly kings)they are ridiculous in terms of power I PROMISE u 💀
One of the many animes I still need to watch!
Can you do marvel ares
I did!
Hercules time.
Manhattan the buildings alone weigh 1.68 trillion pounds
You should try Madelyn Pryor the clone of Jean grey.
The one that confused me was when he was depowered. I couldn't figure out if he was under peak human or over.

Probably Conan
People be sleeping on atlas guy is top tier
He's worth making a vid about alone!! Ppl be sleep on him

Yes Supes versus Thor...my money is on Thor, but what do you guys think?

Hercules.is.a.lot.stronger.now.because.back.then.he.was.half.god.now.he.a.full.god😮
Do you think Hercules could beat thor in a death match?
Long as it's base Thor vs Base Hercules! They could kill each other !
But Thor (currently) would slaughter cause he's basically Odin lol
Let it be said...HERC IS THE SECOND STRONGEST BEING BEHIND WORLDBREAKER. NUFF SAID. MARVEL SHOULD GIVE HIM HIS PROPS
How are you second if you're infinite?
Explain that to us_-----__
The AllFather ODIN is the best mythological deity in fiction & GUNGNIR is the best mythological weapon
yet COMICS are constantly showing him gettin whipped!
In his defense Marvel has a lot of powerhouses on his level lol
