  • Hercules (by Marvel) is a comic book character who first appeared in "Journey Into Mystery Annual" #1 (1965), created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. At first Hercules was mainly used as a rival to The Mighty Thor. But he quickly became another well-established superhero. He has served at times as a member of The Avengers, the Champions, The Defenders, and the Heroes for Hire. He has also received various mini-series: "Hercules:Prince of Power" vol. 1 (1982), "Hercules:Prince of Power" vol. 2 (1984), "Hercules:Heart of Chaos" (1997), and "Hercules" (2005). But he was never one of the most prominent characters of Marvel. In the wake of the Crossover World War Hulk, Marvel Comics decided to relaunch the title character of The Incredible Hulk in a newer series by Jeph Loeb, leaving them with some space to fill with the original series. After initial plans for a team book were made, the proposed lineup was pared down to just two of its original four members: Hercules and the boy genius Amadeus Cho, seventh smartest man in the world. Thus, The Incredible Hercules was born, written by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente. The series was renamed to "Incredible Hercules" with issue #113 (February, 2008). Now on the run from the forces of the law, the titular Greek demigod is forced to mentor the incredibly smart but inexperienced Cho (with coyote pup Kerberos, or Kirby for short, in tow), who starts out looking to bring down The Man over the murder of his family. Eventually they meet up with Herc's half-sister Athena, goddess of wisdom, and proceed to have wacky adventures spanning the globe and the cosmos. The self-titled series wrapped up with #141 (April, 2010), the end of "Assault on New Olympus," but the saga continued in a series of miniseries, culminating in "Chaos War." Herc, a new ongoing from Pak and Van Lente, kicked off in April 2011, following Hercules' adventures after the Incredible Hercules saga.
