Herakles (or Hercules) was the world-famous demigod son of Zeus, brother of Ares and Wonder Woman, and most powerful demigod on Olympus.
Injustice Comic[]
Year Four[]
He is first seen in Olympus talking to Ares who pities him for following Zeus's orders to enter the mortal world. He replies that he abides his own promises to his father to not return to Earth unless ordered to do so and misses the thrill and glory over there. Ares mocked him for being a demi-god wherein he responded by grabbing him against the column, threatening to kill Ares. Ares replies that he misunderstands him that all gods shall be irrelevant to the mortal world, adding that they worship their own kind and the gods doesn't need their kind and must put them back in place.
Hercules is seen with his fellow gods Apollo, Atlas, Eros, and Athena. Apollo shortly announced that Superman must surrender for incurring the wrath of the gods or he will die. After Hermes tries convince her sister to return to their father, Diana becomes enraged and attacked her despite Superman pleading to stop. Hercules then interferes and delivers a punch to her jaw.
Batman told them they have them on their knees and they shouldn't have been regrouping, but Hercules corrected him that there is no "we" and there is only the will of his father, sternly telling his caped friends to stand down. Convinced, Batman then leaves them be.
Using Cyborg's technology to repair his broken arm, Superman and the other Regime members fought against the Greek gods. Yellow Lantern creates a mech with his power ring, but his attacks proved fruitless as Hercules easily shatters it. Harley interferes by delivering a kick to Hal's head but Hercules grabs her by the waist and puts her away, telling her that this is his fight. As Hal blasts him with a yellow construct of fear, Hercules is simply unfazed by it and destroys his construct entirely, stating to him that he doesn't fear him, intending to kill him with a single punch.
However, Superman saves him by grabbing his fist and Wonder Woman hits him from behind. As they gang up against him, Hercules delivers a powerful uppercut to Superman, sending him flying into outer space unconscious and grabs Diana by the neck, intending to kill her as well stating that she should have greater things to worry about. Batman tries to stop them but Hercules threatened him should he interferes. Suddenly, Shazam charges against Hercules, freeing Diana in the process. Shazam told Hercules to pick one his own size where the two engage in a fight, delivering blows to each other. As he delivers one punch to his Abdomen, Shazam flaunts to him that Hercules may be a god but he has the power of six gods. As Hercules delivers one more punch to Shazam, he performs a thunder clap and a headbutt against Hercules before finishing it with an overhead attack.
Falling to his knees defeated, Hercules beseeches him to end this however, Shazam replies that he is not a killer. Superman who had just regained consciousness suddenly appears from the atmosphere at lightspeed and delivers one powerful blow against Hercules, killing him in the process as much as to everyone's surprise.
