Hercules, Hero of Olympus

Name: Hercules
Nickname: Herc, Wonderboy
Alias: Zero to Hero
Personality: Tough, yet caring, willing to withstand hours of intense training at the hands of his mentor, Phil. He has a genuine love for Megara, and is willing to sacrifice even his own life for her. He is not without fault, however, as insults from Hades and a series of tough matches, including a loss to the Hydra, cause the hero to doubt his worth. It is when his friends' lives are most in danger that Hercules realizes he is not worthless, and that, in his words, "A true hero is measured by the strength of his heart."
Origin: A legendary hero with godlike strength. He's the son of the gods Zeus and Hera, but not a god himself. Someone kidnapped him when he was a baby, and ever since he has lived down on earth as a mortal. After learning he can rejoin the gods on Olympus if he becomes a true hero, he asked Phil to train him, and has been hard at work ever since.



He went from "zero to hero" in "Hercules" (1997).
