Myron MacLain named his artificially created Adamantium. Forged by the god Hephaestus Aetnaeus, AKA Hephaestus, it is composed of the enchanted and virtually indestructible adamantine, for which Dr. Hercules’ most oft-used weapon is his Golden Mace. His romantic skills and penchant for alcohol are somewhat legendary. He is talented in ancient Greek athletic feats such as the discus and hammer throws. Hercules is highly expert in traditional means of hand-to-hand combat, especially in wrestling. In some such cases, Zeus or one of the other gods might still be able to resurrect him. Only an injury of such magnitude that it would incinerate or disperse a major portion of his bodily molecules could kill Hercules. Although he can be wounded in battle, he cannot die by any conventional means and has a rapid healing rate. He can survive for brief periods unaided in the vacuum of space.

Hercules is highly durable, resisting most forms of impact, penetration and energy assault. His superhuman leg strength enables him to perform a standing high jump of at least 100 feet. Hercules has superhuman strength (Class 100), greater than most other Olympian gods.

He is virtually tireless, as his body produces no fatigue poisons. Like most Olympian gods, Hercules is immune to aging and conventional disease. Heracles would not stop searching for his missing friend and was eventually left behind by the Argonauts. While ashore, Hylas was abducted by water nymphs who were bewitched by his great beauty. In 1289 BC, while off the coast of Mysia, the Argonauts sent Heracles and his arms-bearer Hylas, the orphaned prince of the Dryopians, to gather lumber to repair an oar that Heracles had broken. As a young adult, Heracles joined Jason and his Argonauts on their quest to find the Golden Fleece of the winged ram Chrysomallos. Heracles’ extraordinary strength became apparent at one year old when he strangled two serpents sent by Hera to slay him. The goddess Athena renamed the boy Heracles, as he had earned Hera’s wrath. Jealous over this infidelity, Zeus’ wife Hera sought vengeance on the infant son born to Alcmena, originally named Alcaeus. By most accounts, over three thousand years ago, recognizing the need for a powerful son to defend both humanity and the Olympian gods from future dangers, Zeus seduced Alcmena in the guise of her husband, Theban general Amphitryon. Accounts and chronology of Hercules’ adventures often vary, and Hercules’ lengthy existence and frequent battles have been credited for possible discrepancies in his memory. Hercules is the son of Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, and Alcmena-herself the great-granddaughter of Zeus. Son of the Olympus God-King Zeus and a mortal woman, Hercules is a legendary Greek demigod and a long-time Avenger.
