What make a hero



We did this for what makes a hero and what it takes to be hero.

Hercules Characters


HERCULES
MEGARA (MEG)
HADES
CHARACTERISTICS / PERSONALITY TRAITS


While his strength is above average, Hercules isn't all that intelligent. But what the hero lacks in outstanding brains, he makes up for in compassion and the desire to do good, which is especially appreciated in a world with constant turmoil around every corner, be it by the hands of a demon or beast, or The Lord of the Dead himself, Hades.





CHARACTERISTICS / PERSONALITY TRAITS


Meg is a free-spirited, independent and quick-witted woman who is

also slightly hurt due to having her heart broken by her boyfriend in

the past.

Hades is among the most ruthless Disney villains of all time. With no care for anyone other than himself, the Lord of the Dead apparently has no boundaries when it comes to achieving his goals, going as far as to making an attempt to kill his own, newborn nephew.

Hercules possesses virtually limitless super strength. This was his

sole remaining godly power and appears to be higher than most

other gods or titans. In the Disney Universe, only Zeus and Genie

rival or surpass him in strength.
