Description
Born Alcides in ancient Thebes, Heracles possessed a human form marked by an exceptionally weak constitution. Despite his physical frailty, he consistently defended the vulnerable, driven by an unwavering belief in justice, such as protecting his friend Castor from bullies. Through years of rigorous training and deliberately choosing the most arduous paths, he cultivated significant strength and earned local respect.
When the gods decreed Thebes' destruction, Alcides confronted Ares and his army single-handedly. Easily defeated, he consumed Ambrosia—Zeus's blood—to gain divine power, enduring an excruciating transformation. This bestowed godlike strength, enabling him to defeat Ares's forces alone and battle Ares to a standstill. Zeus intervened, offering Alcides godhood on the condition he guide humanity toward righteousness. Alcides accepted, demanding the gods cease interfering with humans, and ascended to Valhalla.
As a god-in-training, Alcides discovered Prometheus tormented by Titans. Declaring his intent to end such brutality, he inspired Prometheus to fight back, forging a lasting friendship. After completing the Twelve Labors, Zeus renamed him "Heracles" during his ascension ceremony, honoring Hera.
Heracles retained deep compassion for humanity. He opposed the gods' decision to eradicate them during the Ragnarok tournament and volunteered to represent the gods in the fourth round. His intent was to demonstrate humanity's worth through his battle and persuade the gods to spare them. Before his match, he assured Loki of his allegiance to justice, not the gods' agenda.
Facing Jack the Ripper, Heracles initially expressed outrage that humanity's champion was a serial killer. He offered Jack mercy, which was refused. As they battled within recreated 19th-century London, Heracles recognized Jack's despair rooted in childhood betrayal and poverty. Despite Jack's atrocities, Heracles declared universal love for humanity, including Jack, and resolved to save him from his suffering.
His combat centered on the "Herculean Exodus" (Twelve Labors), techniques channeled through his club. Each activation caused his red tattoo to spread, inducing excruciating pain. Prolonged use risked death, as full-body coverage would be fatal. Key techniques included:
- **Nemean Lion**: Generating destructive shockwaves.
- **Stymphalian Birds**: Creating gusting winds to deflect projectiles.
- **Cretan Bull**: Unleashing bull-like charges.
- **Cerberus** (Twelfth Labor): Merging with the three-headed hound for enhanced power, his ultimate technique.
His divine physiology granted immense strength, speed, durability, and pain tolerance. He fought relentlessly even after losing his left arm, enduring multiple stab wounds, and being crushed under a building. His mental fortitude enabled him to analyze Jack's tactics mid-battle, deducing Jack's emotion-sensing eye and Volundr ability.
In the climax, Heracles activated Cerberus, pursuing Jack through London. Impaled on a fence, Jack revealed his mother's lack of love, deepening his despair. Heracles, near death from his techniques, chose not to strike the final blow. Instead, he embraced Jack, expressing unconditional love. With his last breath, he asked Brunhilde to save humanity, reaffirming his commitment to their redemption.
