Yes, he showed up in HERC 7 & 8 and his purpose was to tell Herc a story and to eventually have Herc be a distraction so that Anansi could steal a tapestry from Ancient Greece. The tapestry was then stolen by Electra.

Yeah, I liked how Rodney Buchemi drew Hercules during the Incredible Herc series. Herc always looked natural and real and never over-blown or cartoonish.

Here's a couple more from Buchemi...

Never lay hands upon his property.

So if a new team of Champions was created with Hercules as the center of the team, who else would you want on the team?

My picks...

Valkryie
Iceman
Circe
Ant-Man?? Not sure who the 5th member would be, trying to think of a hero who flies and would be a good fit for the team.

Here's the cover from the recent Marvel Vault issue featuring the Champions:

Over on the Alpha-Male II thread there is the current battle between Namor and Ares. It was also mentioned that Namor could kick Hercules, and I just wanted to present a panel of Herc taking down Namor. Yes, I know other panels can be shown of Namor's victories, however this is the Hercules Appreciation!

Only hercules is capable of punching galactus in the nutters...

And live to tell the tale.

When did Namor start ripping off Black Adam's costume ?

I'm not sure exactly, but I know he's had it for quite awhile. Depending upon the artist/writer/story from what I have seen, you may see him in his Speedo or his Black suit.

Well, it's not official just yet, but it looks like Hercules will win this next round in the Alpha Male II thread. And for those not sure if Herc could take out Captain Mar-vell, check out what Herc has done to Galactus in the past!
